Description

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a technical field of air conditioning, and more particularly, to an air conditioner.

Background

At present, there are two main types of housing popular in an air conditioner market, one is a fully closed air guide plate housing, and the other is a non-fully closed air guide plate housing. The fully closed air guide plate housing is a housing in which an air guide plate is pushed out of a housing space through a driving device to achieve an air guide effect and the air guide plate is capable of fully closing an air outlet of an air conditioner when the air guide plate is closed. The non-fully closed air guide plate housing is a housing in which an air guide plate is always within a range of a housing space in a working state or a non-working state and the air guide plate does not fully close an air outlet of an air conditioner when the air guide plate is in a closed state.
The above two housings are very inconvenient when they are disassembled and cleaned: when an air duct system of the air conditioner needs to be cleaned, appearance parts such as a panel, a panel body and the air guide plate need to be removed one by one. After the appearance parts are removed, an air outlet part of the air duct system is only exposed, and the air duct system is partially cleaned during cleaning and cannot be thoroughly cleaned.
During a development process, any one of the above two types of housings does not realize a quick switching between the fully closed air guide plate and the non-fully closed air guide plate, that is, both the fully closed air guide plate and the non-fully closed air guide plate are mounted on one housing. A reason why any one of the two types of housings does not be switched is that mounting portions of the two types of air guide plates does not be used universally, and non-universal mounting portions are limited by a layout of a whole machine. In a process of product development, the above two housing designs make a product development efficiency very low and a product development flexibility not high, and also does not quickly meet potential demands of a market for a diversity of air conditioners.

During assembly, the base part 10 is mounted on the bottom housing part 130, the two side plates 80 are mounted at both ends of the base part 10 respectively, the evaporation part 110 is mounted on the base part 10, the middle frame panel body part 120 is mounted on the bottom housing part 130 and located on a periphery of the evaporation part 110, the electrical box part 140 is mounted on the base part 10 and configured to provide power for a driving motor on the driving box 20 or the driving support 30, and the air outlet frame 90 and the panel part 100 are mounted on the bottom housing part 130.
As noted in the background, fully closed air guide plate air conditioners and non-fully closed air guide plates known to inventors cannot be mounted on one housing, which makes a development efficiency of air conditioners low and a flexibility of air-conditioning products not high. For this reason, a structure of the air conditioner has been improved in some embodiments of the present invention.
In some embodiments, the air conditioner in the present invention includes the driving box 20 or the driving support 30. During actual mounting, the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 are both selectively mounted on the base part 10 by mounting portions which are structurally consistent, thereby driving the corresponding fully closed air guide plate 60 or non-fully closed air guide plate 70 to move.
That is to say, during a development of the air conditioner, the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 are both mounted on the base part 10 by mounting portions which are structurally consistent, and the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 are selectively mounted on the base part 10. During assembly, two kinds of air guide plates, i.e. the fully closed air guide plate 60 and the non-fully closed air guide plate 70, are quickly switched and mounted on a same base part 10, thereby reducing a development costs of an air conditioner product, shortening a product development cycle and improving product development efficiency. Meanwhile, market or customer needs for a diversity of air conditioners is quickly met.

In other non-shown embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion is structurally configured to cooperate with a sliding block and a sliding groove. In actual assembly, it is only necessary to provide the sliding block and the sliding groove in the driving box 20, the driving support 30 or the base part 10, respectively. For example, the sliding blocks are provided on the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 respectively, and correspondingly, the sliding groove is provided on the base part 10. In specific design, the sliding block structures on the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 need to be set to a same structure. The meaning of the same structure here should be understood to be a same shape and size, to ensure that the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 are quickly mounted on the base part 10, to achieve a purpose of mounting the fully closed air guide plate 60 and the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 on a same housing. In this process, limiting is performed in cooperation with a structure such as a limiting groove or a limiting pin.
Similarly, in another not-shown embodiment of the present invention, the mounting portion is provided as a structure of a plurality of mounting holes and locking screws. When specifically disposed, positions of the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 for cooperating with the base part 10 are processed with mounting holes with a same clearance and aperture, and correspondingly, mounting holes corresponding to the mounting holes on the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 are also provided on the base part 10. Then, the driving box 10 and the base part 10 are locked by a locking screw or the driving support 30 and the base part 10 are locked to achieve a purpose of mounting the fully closed air guide plate 60 and the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 on the same housing. The defect of the above mode is low assembly efficiency.
Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion is structurally configured to the structures that hooks cooperate with other hooks. It is only necessary to ensure that assembly structures of the driving box 20, the driving support 30 with the base part 10 are consistent. In order to improve a mounting stability of the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 in the some embodiments, the mounting portion of some embodiments of the present invention further includes a fastener 42.

It can be known from the above embodiments that under a guidance of a development concept of modular air conditioners, consumer home appliances have becoming more and more attention to green and healthy technologies, and some embodiments of the present invention re-lays out a structure of the entire air conditioner and creates a modular air conditioner that is easy to disassemble and clean. In order to meet market demands for air conditioners of different grades or price levels, the present invention deeply digs the air conditioners of this structure. As mentioned in the background, although there are a non-fully closed air guide plate base part and a fully closed air guide plate base part in an air conditioner market, the two base parts are similar, and the basic main structure of the air conditioner is the same. As shown in Fig. 1, the two air guide plates commonly use an evaporation portion 110, a base part 10, an air water channel part, that is, a bottom housing part 130, an electrical box part 140, and some appearance parts such as a panel part 100. The above structure is common to both housings, which lays a solid foundation for the subsequent non-fully closed air guide plate 70 and fully closed air guide plate 60 to achieve quick switching on a same base part, which also improves a design efficiency of designers for quick product development and greatly reduces the cost of product development.
The fully closed air guide plate 60 and the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 of some embodiments of the present invention realize quick switching on one base part 10. Mainly, the base parts 10 are used in common, and the base part 10 includes the base 11 and the motor base 12, and a structure for driving the fully closed air guide plate 60 is mounted on the base part 10: the driving box 20, as shown in Fig. 6. One driving box 20 is mounted at an end of the base 11, and the other driving box 20 is mounted on the motor seat 12. The fully closed air guide plate 60 is pushed out of the whole machine by the two driving boxes 20 on the base part 10 and guides air (the driving box 20 is a structure with a telescopic rod and a motor: the telescopic rod realizes that the fully closed air guide plate 60 is pushed out and retracted; the motor drives the fully closed air guide plate 60 to rotate to achieve up and down sweeping).
The mounting of the driving box 20 on a left side and the base 11 is shown in Fig. 8 to Fig. 11, Fig. 15 and Fig. 16. They are fixed by a cooperation of the clamping hook 411, the clamping hole 412, and the fastener 42. The driving box 20 on a right side is mounted on the motor seat 12 (the motor seat is assembled on the base) as shown in Fig. 12 to Fig. 14: the driving box 20 and the motor base 12 are also fixed by a cooperation of the clamping hook 411, the clamping hole 412, and the fastener 42.
As shown in Fig. 17, an overall structure of the air conditioner with the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 includes a foregoing common basic part, the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 is in a space of the housing when in closed and open states, as shown in Fig. 17 and Fig. 18.
The driving support 30 of the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 is also mounted on the base part 10, one of the driving supports 30 is mounted on the base 11, and the other driving support 30 is mounted on the motor seat 12 (the motor seat is mounted on the base), as shown in Fig. 20. The non-fully closed air guide plate 70 is mounted on the two driving supports 30 by means of buckles. The driving supports 30 have such a structure: the driving support 30 on the left side is only a structural member, and its function is to mount and support one end of the non-fully closed air guide plate 70. The other driving support 30 is further provided with a driving motor in addition to the above non-fully closed air guide plate 70. The driving motor is configured to drive the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 to rotate, thereby achieving an up and down sweeping function of the non-fully closed air guide plate 70.
A structural cooperation between the driving support 30 on the left side and the base 11 is shown in Fig. 23, and they are fixed by the cooperation of the clamping hook 411, the clamping hole 412, and the fastener 42. A mounting of a driving support 30 on the right side and the base 11 is shown in Fig. 24 to Fig. 26, and a structural cooperation between the driving support 30 on the right side and the motor seat 12 is realized by the cooperation of the clamping hook 411, the clamping hole 412, and the fastener 42.
A cooperation between the driving box 20 of the fully closed air guide plate 60 and the base part 10 and a cooperation between the driving support 30 of the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 and the base part 10 are common matching structures, namely a matching structure between the driving box 20 and the base part 10 and a matching structure between the driving support 30 and the base part 10 are the same: a matching structure on the driving box 20 is the same as a matching structure on the driving support 30, and the mounting portion structure on the base part 10 is commonly used. In this way, the base part 10 realizes a function of simultaneously mounting the driving box 20 and the driving support 30 according to different air guide plate needs, and the fully closed air guide plate 60 and the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 are quickly switched on the base part 10.
Through a cooperation of the above structures, a fixed cooperation of the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 and the fully closed air guide plate 60 on the same base part 10 is realized, the non-fully closed air guide plate 70 and the fully closed air guide plate 60 are quickly switched, the product development efficiency is improved, and the product development cost is greatly reduced. Motors are designed and mounted on the driving box 20 and the driving support 30. The driving box 20 and the driving support 30 are mounted on the base part 10. When cleaning the air conditioner, charged parts do not need to be disassembled, and a safety performance of the whole machine is improved.
From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects.
The above two air guide plates namely the non-fully closed air guide plates and the fully closed air guide plate are switched on the same housing, but in actual production, several different parts need to be manufactured: the side plate and the air outlet frame. The two parts need to be cooperated with the air guide plate in the appearance of the whole machine. A mounting of the fully closed air guide plate and the non-fully closed air guide plate on the same housing will make the appearance of the whole machine different, so in order to match different appearance housings, it is necessary to manufacture side plates and air outlet frames suitable for different housings respectively. However, although there are structural differences between the side plates and the air outlet frames suitable for two different housings, the matching structure between the side plates and the air outlet frames suitable for the two housings and the parts shared by the two housings is still the same, that is, a same buckle assembly and fastener are used for cooperation at a same position.
Some embodiments of the present invention are suitable for an easy-to-disassemble and easy-to-clean housing common to a fully-closed air guide plate and a non-fully closed air guide plate. The housing structure includes at least: the base part, the air outlet frame, the air guide plate, the driving box or the driving support. The base part includes the base and the motor seat. At least one end of the base part is designed with a common mounting portion for mounting the driving box or the driving support: the driving box is mounted on the mounting portion to form the fully closed air guide plate, and the driving support is mounted on the mounting portion to form the non-fully closed air guide plate, so that the fully closed air guide plate and the non-fully closed air guide plate can be quickly switched on one housing.
The above is only the embodiments of the present invention, not intended to limit the present invention. As will occur to those skilled in the art, the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
