Concealed handle and air conditioning device with the same

Abstract

An air conditioning device, which may be a dehumidifier or a movable air conditioner, has a main body and at least one concealed handle. Each concealed handle has a case, a cover, and a moving structure. The case has a finger accommodating space and a finger inserting opening communicating with each other. The movable cover is movably mounted in the finger inserting space in the case of the concealed handle, and thus the user's fingers can push to move the cover and then insert into the finger accommodating space to conveniently move or lift the main body. When not in use, the cover is pushed back by a resilient element of the moving structure, and then the cover is disposed in the finger inserting opening to cover the finger accommodating space, which enhances the aesthetic appeal and avoids dirt accumulation in the finger accommodating space.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a concealed handle and an air conditioning device with the same that can enhance the aesthetic appeal and solve the problem of dirt accumulation. The movable cover is movably mounted in the finger inserting space, and the user's fingers can push to move the cover and then insert into the finger accommodating space to conveniently move or lift the main body. The cover also prevents dirt from entering the finger accommodating space, which avoids dirt accumulation.

Problems solved by technology

However, the hanging type handle is obviously exposed out of the outer casing, which may affect the aesthetic appeal of the home appliance.

However, the concealed handle needs to be wide and deep enough for the fingers to insert, but the width and the depth make the concealed handle obvious in sight, which still affects the aesthetic appeal.

Besides, the inside of the recess is also easy to accumulate dirt, which not only further affects the aesthetic appeal, but also causes hygienic problems.
