The disclosure relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner indoor unit.
At present, an indoor unit of a separated wall-type air conditioner usually has numerous and miscellaneous types of parts, so the production efficiency of general assembly is low.
At present, an indoor unit of a separated wall-type air conditioner usually has numerous and miscellaneous types of parts, so the production efficiency of general assembly is low. An existing air conditioner indoor unit includes a bottom shell part, a motor, a motor pressure plate, an electrical box, a fan blade, an evaporator, a panel body, a filter screen, a panel, an air guide plate, and other main structures. There are many structural forms. On a general assembly line, taking the bottom shell part as a basic part, the fan blade and the motor are fixedly connected through a screw, and then mounted above the bottom shell part together. The motor is fixed by using the motor pressure plate. Then, the evaporator is mounted. Because a pipe of the evaporator is at a back side of a base part, it is needed to first break off the pipe of the evaporator, and install the evaporator on the bottom shell part, and then, the pipe is broken back, and the pipe and the evaporator are fixed. Meanwhile, because of a structural limit of the evaporator, it is needed to add tooling in an operating direction of the assembly line to support the base part to a height, so as to conveniently place the pipe of the evaporator. And then, the electrical box is mounted; specifically, the electrical box is fixedly mounted at the right side of the evaporator. At last, the panel body, the filter screen, the panel and the air guide plate are assembled. Accordingly, for such an air conditioner indoor unit, in general assembly, it is needed to assemble in order the above numerous and miscellaneous parts on the general assembly line. The general assembly line is comparatively long, occupies a large space, and has a low general assembly efficiency.
Moreover, when the air conditioner indoor unit is completely mounted, only the air guide plate, the panel and the panel body can be dismounted, so when needing to clean the air conditioner indoor unit, a user can only disassemble the filter screen and the air guide plate to clean simply. However, in a long-term use process of the air conditioner indoor unit, an air duct for air-in and air-out, the fan blade and a water duct for collecting condensed water are very easy to produce dirt. These structures of the above air conditioner indoor unit cannot be dismounted to clean regularly, after a long time, the accumulation of dirt on these structures makes the air conditioner indoor unit become a source of pollution, which influences living environments of users with the operation of the air conditioner, and brings harms to the users. Meanwhile, in a process of overhauling the air conditioner indoor unit, when charged structures like the motor and the electrical box, are overhauled, it is needed to disassemble in order the air guide plate, the panel and the panel body according to a reverse order of assembly; at the same time, the process requires a professional to operate, which causes a high cost of cleaning the complete appliance, and requires much time and effort.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the disclosure is to overcome the defects of the air conditioner indoor unit in the conventional art that the general assembly efficiency is low, and inconvenient disassembly increases the difficultly of cleaning and overhaul, and provide an air conditioner indoor unit which is high in the general assembly efficiency, convenient and easy to be dismounted, and easy to be cleaned and overhauled.

The technical solutions of the disclosure have the following advantages.
1. When the air conditioner indoor unit provided by the disclosure is assembled, the base module, the heat exchange module and the air and water duct module may be pre-assembled respectively, and each module is generally assembled after the pre-assembly is completed. In such a manner, the time needed to assemble the whole body is greatly reduced, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the manpower and material cost is saved; moreover, a foundation is laid for the subsequent realization of mechanized and automated production. Meanwhile, when the air conditioner indoor unit is disassembled, the base module, the air and water duct module and the heat exchange module may also be disassembled by taking the module as a unit. In such a manner, the disassembly efficiency may be greatly improved, and convenience is brought to cleaning or maintaining, and replacing a certain structure of the air conditioner indoor unit. Meanwhile, the fan motor is mounted in the base part of the base module, the air duct assembly is arranged in the air and water duct module, and the whole body of the air duct assembly is suitable to be disassembled from the base part without disassembling the fan motor in the base part. On one hand, the fan motor may be directly assembled and disassembled, so as to overhaul and replace the fan motor; on the other hand, when needing to clean the air duct assembly, separating the air duct assembly and the fan motor may directly disassemble the air duct assembly to clean. Compared with the problem in the conventional art that the air duct assembly cannot be cleaned due to arranging the air duct assembly on the bottom shell of the base part, or the performance of the fan motor is influenced by wetting when the air duct assembly is cleaned caused by fixedly mounting the fan motor on the bottom shell which is mounted with the air duct assembly, the disclosure can not only clean the air duct assembly, but also separate the air duct assembly from the fan motor when disassembling the air duct assembly from the base module, thereby preventing the fan motor from being damaged by wetting. In addition, compared with that, in the conventional art, the connection pipeline is bent to the back of the base part, and the heat exchanger of the heat exchange module and the connection pipeline are on different sides of the base module, the heat exchanger of the heat exchange module and the connection pipeline of the disclosure are entirely on the front side of the base module. In such a manner, when the heat exchanger is mounted, a working process of bending the connection pipeline is reduced, and convenience is brought to assembling and disassembling the heat exchange module.
2. When the air conditioner indoor unit provided by the disclosure is assembled, the shell module may be pre-assembled at the same time with the base module, the air and water duct module, the heat exchange module, the air outlet frame module and the air guide module, and then generally assembled with the above five modules after the pre-assembly is completed. Or, the base module, the air and water duct module, the heat exchange module, the air outlet frame module and the air guide module are pre-assembled at first, and then the parts of the shell module are generally assembled with the above five modules on the general assembly line. Any mounting way includes the pre-assembly of the five modules, so the time needed to assemble the whole body is greatly reduced, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the manpower and material cost is saved; moreover, a foundation is laid for the subsequent realization of mechanized and automated production. Meanwhile, when the air conditioner indoor unit is disassembled, at least the base module, the air and water duct module, the heat exchange module, the air outlet frame module and the air guide module may be disassembled by taking the module as a unit. In such a manner, the disassembly efficiency may be greatly improved, and convenience is brought to cleaning or maintaining, and replacing a certain structure of the air conditioner indoor unit. Moreover, in design, each structure in the air conditioner indoor unit may be designed in a form of the six modules, namely the base module, the air and water duct module, the heat exchange module, the air outlet frame, the air guide module and the shell module, thereby simplifying a product design process of designers, and improving the design efficiency.

Meanwhile, when the air conditioner indoor unit is disassembled, the base module i100, the air and water duct module i300, the heat exchange module i200, the air outlet frame module i420 and the air guide module i430 may be disassembled by taking the module as a unit. In such a manner, the disassembly efficiency may be greatly improved, and convenience is brought to cleaning or maintaining, and replacing a certain structure of the air conditioner indoor unit.

In the above assembling process, when the air conditioner indoor unit is assembled, the six modules may be respectively pre-assembled on different assembly lines at the same time, and then the assembly of the whole body of the air conditioner indoor unit may be completed only by generally assembling the six pre-assembled modules on the general assembly line. In such a manner, the general assembly line is greatly shortened, and by pre-assembling the six modules at the same time, the time needed to assemble the whole body is greatly reduced, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the manpower and material cost is saved; moreover, a foundation is laid for the subsequent realization of mechanized and automated production. Through the design manner of the six modules, the air conditioner indoor unit is disassembled by taking the module as a unit, so the disassembly efficiency may be greatly improved, and convenience is brought to cleaning or maintaining, and replacing a certain structure of the air conditioner indoor unit.

The modules are respectively described below.
A modular air conditioner includes a base module, a heat exchange module, an air duct part and an exterior module.
As shown in the drawings
The motor bracket is arranged at a position close to one end of the base part g330 in a length direction, and an axis of an output shaft of a supported motor g220 extends in the length direction of the base part g330. In the embodiment, the motor bracket consists of a motor stand d51, a motor pressure plate g250 and a motor end cover.
The motor stand d51 is formed integrally with the base part g330 by, for example, injection molding. The motor pressure plate g250 is fastened to the motor stand d51 and fixed by screws to limit movement of the motor g220 in the motor assembly in a radial direction of a rotating shaft and form a chamber for accommodating and circumferential embracing the motor g220 in the motor assembly. The side, close to an adjacent end portion of the base part g330, of the chamber forms a mounting end that allows the motor g220 to be axially embedded into and withdrawn from the chamber, and the side far away from the end portion of the base part g330 forms a limiting end that limits further movement of the motor g220 embedded into the chamber towards the end portion, from which it is far away, of the base part g330. The motor end cover g240 may be fixedly mounted at the mounting end to limit movement of the motor g220 mounted in the chamber towards a direction of withdrawal from the chamber, as shown in
In the embodiment, the electrical control part includes an electrical box r172 in which a main board and other control elements such as a transformer are placed together. The electrical box r172 is inserted into the base part g330 through two horn buckles at a bottom end, and then is detachably fixed on the base part g330 in a screw fixing manner. An internal structure of the electrical box r172 is fixedly provided with the main board. A terminal board of the electrical box r172 is fixed in the electrical box r172 in parallel with the main board. The main board is mounted in the electrical box r172 in a state of being perpendicular to the axis of the output shaft of the motor g220. For avoiding mechanical interference between the electrical box r172 and another part on a path of moving out of the base part g330 in an axial direction of the output shaft of the motor g220, the electrical box r172 is designed with a stepped contour according to a through section on the path. In addition, the internal structure of the electrical box r172 is designed with lug bosses. The lug bosses are arranged to avoid the external motor assembly on one hand and, on the other hand, strength structural strength of the electrical box r172. Each component of the main board is mounted with one side facing an inner side of the electrical box r172, so that the components of the main board may be arranged by full use of spaces between multiple lug bosses, and a structural form of the electrical box r172 is more advantageous in space occupation.
Besides the motor g220, the motor assembly further includes an extension and retraction motor, air guide motor and air sweeping motor poking an air guide module in the exterior module to act. In the embodiment, a pair of air guide poking boxes are fixedly mounted on two sides of the base part g330 in the length direction, the air guide poking box on the side far away from the motor bracket is fixed on a bracket structure on the corresponding side of the base part g330 by screws, and the air guide poking box on the side close to the motor bracket is clamped on the motor bracket through a buckle at a bottom end and fixed by screws. A connecting rod assembly is arranged in each air guide poking box in a sliding manner, and a head of the connecting rod assembly telescopically extends out along an extension opening on one side of the air guide poking box. The air guide motor includes the extension and retraction motor arranged on the air guide poking box, an air guide motor arranged at a head end of the connecting rod assembly on one side and the air sweeping motor arranged at a head end of the connecting rod assembly on the other side. The connecting rod assembly is connected with an output shaft of the extension and retraction motor through a gear and rack mechanism. An output shaft of the air guide motor drives an air guide plate, and an output shaft of the air sweeping motor drives an air sweeping plate. Wires connected with the air guide motor and the air sweeping motor penetrate through the corresponding connecting rod assemblies respectively.
Electrical wires connecting each load, such as an electrical component like a display, the motor, a wifi box and a cold plasma, in an indoor unit are fixedly arranged on the base part g330 through a wiring slot fixedly formed in the base part g330. The other end of each electrical wire is connected to a concentrator, and is electrically connected with the electrical box r172 through the concentrator in a pluggable manner. The concentrator is inserted into a limiting hole in the base part g330 through a horn buckle at the bottom end, and then is fixed on the base part g330 or the motor pressure plate g250 by screws. A pin interface is formed in the concentrator, a connecting pin is arranged at a mounting position corresponding to the pin interface on the electrical box r172, a line concentration box is arranged at the corresponding connecting pin in the electrical box r172, and terminal blocks, corresponding to each electrical component load, of the main board are arranged in the line concentration box in a centralized manner. Arrangement of the line concentration box corresponding to the concentrator in the electrical box r172 is favorable for centralized wiring and bundling of the component wires, and thus the electrical box r172 may be disassembled as an independent structure. The concentrator mates with the electrical box r172 through a limiting rib and the limiting hole. Devices corresponding to high voltage and devices corresponding to low voltage are regionally arranged in the electrical box r172 to reduce interference between each electrical device.
The electrical box r172, as an electrical control portion of the air conditioner, is a frequently disassembled part of the air conditioner, and whether it is mounted in place or not is crucial for whether the air conditioner may be used normally or not. In the embodiment, a mounting protection function for the electrical box r172 is set to implement error reporting control and prompting for whether the electrical box r172 is butted with the contractor well or not by logical control if the condition that the patch panel in the contractor and the main board in the electrical box r172 are disconnected and not connected in place occurs when the electrical box r172 is butted with the concentrator.
A logical control function is analyzed as follows: when the electrical box r172 or the concentrator is not mounted in place to cause an air conditioner indoor unit to fail at a control function end, disconnection or not-in-place connection is detected, and if it is detected after maintenance that the air conditioner works normally, maintenance work is finished.
The mounting protection function for the electrical box r172 is designed and developed to ensure that the electrical box r172 is mounted in place and improve a modular design degree of the air conditioner.
In addition, finned rib plates, i.e., a water retaining rib plate and a pipe retaining rib plate, are designed on two sides of the motor pressure plate g250 respectively. A connecting pipeline of a heat exchanger is arranged through a horizontal slot between the two finned rib plates, so that leftward and rightward collision of the connecting pipeline of the heat exchanger is limited, and the phenomenon that the air guide poking boxes are collided and further dislocated to affect extension and retraction accuracy of the air guide plate is avoided. Meanwhile, the water retaining rib plate guides condensed water on the heat exchanger to a bottom shell to realize a water guide function.

The air and water duct module 300 includes an air duct assembly 301, as shown in
As shown in
The bearing rubber base assembly 330 is mounted on the support, and arranged on the end, close to the fan motor 141, of the impeller 320, thereby solving the problem of hanging connection between the impeller shaft and a motor output shaft. In the conventional art, when disassembled, the impeller 320 moves towards the direction fay away from the fan motor 141. The bearing rubber base assembly 330 provided by the embodiment is configured to support the impeller shaft sleeve close to the end of the fan motor 141, thereby preventing the impeller 320 from damage caused by inclining or dropping in the assembling or disassembling process. That is, after an operator pushes the impeller 320 far away from the fan motor 141 to clean, the impeller 320 may be supported by the bearing rubber base assembly 330. After the impeller 320 is cleaned, and before the impeller 320 is butted with the fan motor 141, the impeller 320 is connected with the fan motor 141 in an alignment way by means of the bearing rubber base assembly 330. The support shaft sleeve 332 is an elastic shaft sleeve, and has a certain elasticity. In the case of misalignment happening when the rotation shaft is butted with the fan motor 141 in the beginning, according to the positions of the rotation shaft and the fan motor 141, an adaptive adjustment may be made through the elasticity of the support shaft sleeve 332 to counteract the misalignment, thereby reducing the wear of the rotation shaft and the output shaft, and prolonging the service life of the rotation shaft and its products. The rubber base bracket 331 is sheathed on the outer side of the support shaft sleeve 332, that is, does not interfere with the rotation shaft on the inner loop surface of the support shaft sleeve 332. The sheathed connection also enables the support shaft sleeve 332 not to move relative to the rubber base bracket 331. An oil groove is formed on the inner wall of the impeller bearing 334, so that the space between the inner wall of the impeller shaft 334 and the outer wall of the rotation shaft may be full of lubricating oil, thereby reducing a frictional force in the relative movement of them, and improving the rotation efficiency. The rubber base bracket 331 is fixed on an axial side wall of the support shaft sleeve 332, and has an axially extending arc-shaped portion, so that the bearing rubber base assembly 330 is effectively supported in the axial direction, thereby preventing the deflection of an angle between the rotation shaft and the rubber base assembly, and reducing the degree of wear of the rotation shaft.
The bracket insertion portion 3310 mating with the bottom shell 310 is arranged on the rubber base bracket 331. The bracket insertion portion 3310 includes: the bracket limiting portion 3311 for limiting the insertion depth with the bottom shell 310, and the bracket guide portion 3312 mating with the guide structure 3102 on the side wall of the bottom shell 310. The bracket limiting portion 3311 limits an insertion position of the rubber base bracket 331. The bracket guide portion 3312 guides the insertion. The combination of limiting and guiding locates and mounts the rubber base bracket 331 accurately, thereby realizing accurate assembly of the bearing rubber base assembly 330.
The bracket limiting portion 3311 is of a plate-type structure, being symmetrically formed on the rubber base bracket 331 and extending axially, and is configured to press against an opening edge 3101 on the fan support 311 of the bottom shell 310, so as to achieve the limit. The bracket guide portion 3312 is formed on the lower surface of the bracket limiting portion 3311, that is, guiding is prior to limiting in an inserting process. The bracket limiting portion 3311 is vertical to the bracket guide portion 3312, so that the bracket limiting portion 3311 is uniformly forced, and the rubber base bracket 331 is not easy to incline. The bracket insertion portion 3310 further includes a bracket barb 3313 which is hooked with a through hole 3103 on the side wall of the bottom shell 310, thereby preventing the rubber base bracket 331 from separating from the bottom shell 310 due to vibration.
As a transformable embodiment, as shown in
The bearing rubber base assembly 330 is mounted on the support, and arranged on the end, close to the fan motor 141, of the impeller 320, thereby solving the problem of hanging connection between the impeller shaft and a motor output shaft. In the conventional art, when disassembled, the impeller 320 moves towards the direction fay away from the fan motor 141. The bearing rubber base assembly 330 provided by the embodiment is configured to support the impeller shaft sleeve close to the end of the fan motor 141, thereby preventing the impeller 320 from damage caused by inclining or dropping in the assembling or disassembling process. That is, after an operator pushes the impeller 320 far away from the fan motor 141 to clean, the impeller 320 may be supported by the bearing rubber base assembly 330. After the impeller 320 is cleaned, and before the impeller 320 is butted with the fan motor 141, the impeller 320 is connected with the fan motor 141 in an alignment way by means of the bearing rubber base assembly 330.
A supporting portion is arranged between the inner loop surface and the outer loop surface of the support shaft sleeve 332 to support the inner loop surface and the outer loop surface of the support shaft sleeve, thereby preventing the support shaft sleeve from being squeezed and twisted to be unable to rotationally mate with the rotation shaft of the impeller 320. The rubber base bracket 331 is fixed on an axial side wall of the support shaft sleeve 332, and has an axially extending arc-shaped portion, so that the bearing rubber base assembly 330 is effectively supported in the axial direction, thereby preventing the deflection of an angle between the rotation shaft and the rubber base assembly, and reducing the degree of wear of the rotation shaft.
As shown in
The support shaft sleeve 332 is a self-lubricating shaft sleeve, so the frictional force between it and the rotation shaft is reduced. The bearing rubber base assembly 330 and the support are formed on the bottom shell 310. The bracket insertion portion 3310 mating with the bottom shell 310 is arranged on the rubber base bracket 331, that is, the rubber base bracket 331 is fixed on the bottom shell 310 in a quick insertion manner, so as to realize quick mounting.
As shown in
As a transformable embodiment, as shown in
As shown in
In the mounted state, the impeller 320 is in the inverted-U-shaped open chamber of the heat exchanger 220. The air and water duct module 300 is connected with the base module 100 through a mounting structure.
The bottom shell 310 has a rear top edge which extends, on the mounting position, to approach the side, close to the back plate of the base part 101, of the heat exchanger 220. A combining slot whose opening faces towards the opening direction of the open chamber is formed at the rear top edge, corresponding to the mounting position of the bottom shell 310, of the base part 101. The rear top edge is suitable to be embedded in the combining slot after the open chamber is mounted in the edge of the impeller 320. Thus an isolation chamber is formed between the bottom shell 310 and the base part 101. The isolation chamber prevents the low temperature in the inverted-U-shaped open chamber of the heat exchanger 220 from transferring to the base part 101, which causes the formation of condensed water on the base part 101. A sliding structure 102 mating with the air duct assembly 301 is arranged on the base part 101. The air duct assembly 301 is suitable to be pulled out from or pushed in the base part 101 through the sliding structure 102, as shown in
The quick connection manner adopted between the impeller 320 mounted on the bottom shell 310 and the fan motor 141 includes a quick release connecting structure 700 which is arranged between the output shaft 142 of the fan motor 141 and the impeller shaft 321, and is disassembled without using tools, as shown in
As a transformable embodiment, on the basis of the above embodiments, the fan meshing portion 711 is the protruding claw, the motor meshing portion 721 is the groove, and the meshing surface of the motor meshing portion 721 on the motor shaft sleeve 720 is the helical curved surface. The fan nest is formed integrally with the impeller. The motor shaft sleeve is formed integrally with the output shaft 142 of the fan motor.
As a transformable embodiment, in the embodiment, the quick release connecting structure 700 includes a fan nest 710 fixedly mounted on the impeller shaft 321 and a motor shaft sleeve 720 fixedly mounted on the output shaft 142 of the fan motor 141. There are several fan meshing portions 711, which are uniformly distributed in all directions, formed on the fan nest 710, correspondingly, there are a corresponding number of motor meshing portions 721, which are suitable to mate with the fan meshing portions 711, arranged on the motor nest 720. The fan meshing portion 711 may enter, through an axial movement, a state of interlocking with the motor nest 721, so that the impeller shaft 321 and the output shaft 142 of the fan motor 141 are connected each other, and transmission side faces on the motor shaft sleeve and the fan nest extend at a completely axially overlapping part when they are nested. The transmission side face is a meshing surface. The whole side face at the transmission side of the fan meshing portion is the meshing surface. In the embodiment, the number of the motor meshing portions 721 and the number of the fan meshing portions 711 are 3. The fan meshing portion 711 is a groove, and the motor meshing portion 721 is a protruding claw. As shown in
A clutch actuating mechanism is configured to drive the impeller shaft 321 to axially move relative to the output shaft of the fan motor 141. The clutch actuating mechanism includes the poking pieces, which are respectively mounted on the bottom shell 310 movably to apply an acting force on the impeller 320, at two sides of the impeller 320. As shown in
The motor poking the impeller to rotate is mounted on the base module, that is, the impeller shaft is connected with the motor shaft, and there is the poking piece 341, which is configured to disassemble the impeller from the motor, at the side, close to the motor, of the impeller shaft.
As shown in
The poking piece is movably mounted on the bottom shell 310 of the air conditioner. The poking piece moves relative to the bottom shell 310 of the air conditioner to push the impeller 320. The mounting position of the poking piece of the bottom shell 310 is as shown in
As shown in
As a deformation, when the number of the poking pieces configured to disassemble the impeller 320 from the motor is 1, the poking piece is arranged on the end of the impeller 320, and the reset spring is arranged on the other end of the impeller 320. The reset spring applies the bias force, towards the motor, on the impeller 320. The reset spring and the poking piece may be arranged on the same end of the impeller 320, or they are respectively arranged on two different ends of the impeller 320. The reset spring may avoid the problem that the impeller 320 cannot mate with the motor shaft effectively due to human causes during carrying and assembling the whole body, and then the motor cannot work normally in a no-load case after being powered on. When the reset spring and the poking piece are respectively arranged on two ends of the impeller 320, one end of the reset spring presses against the impeller 320 support of the bottom shell 310, and the other end presses against the impeller 321 shaft. The reset spring pressing against the impeller 321 shaft is on the axis where the acting forces of the end face of the impeller 320 are concentrated, so an axial offset of the impeller 320 relative to the motor is reduced.
As shown in
As a transformable embodiment, for the poking piece which is configured to disassemble the impeller 320 from the motor, the mounting position of the poking piece on the bottom shell 310 goes down, and the spring is arranged on the surface, far away from the poking piece, of the bottom shell 310. The guide control to the poking piece is realized through a helical spring 310b and a spring column 310a. A deformation slot 3418 is formed on the poking piece. When the poking piece is squeezed downwards to enter the mounting position of the poking piece on the bottom shell 310, the deformation slot 3418 enables the guide flange 3416 to squeeze and deform towards the center to be pressed in the bottom shell guide portion 322 on the bottom shell 310. On the edge of the bottom shell guide portion 322, the deformation slot is formed on the shell. When the poking piece is squeezed downwards to the mounting position of the poking piece on the bottom shell 310, the deformation slot 3418 on the shell may enable the bottom shell guide portion 322 to expand outwards, and then the guide flange 3416 is pressed in the bottom shell guide portion 322; later, the deformation slot 3418 restores, and the bottom shell guide portion 22 is clamped with the guide flange 3416. That is, guiding and limiting of the poking piece driving portion 3413 of the poking piece on the mounting position of the poking piece on the bottom shell is realized through the mating between the guide flange 3416 and the bottom shell guide portion 322. The poking piece limiting portion 3414 which is configured to be hooked with a lower buckle 3108 of the bottom shell 310 is formed on the poking piece. A rib which is configured to limit may also be arranged on the bottom shell 310 to further limit a moving stroke of the poking piece. The bottom shell guide portion 322 of the mounting position of the poking piece on the bottom shell 310 may be strip-shaped as shown in
As a transformable embodiment, when the number of the poking pieces is 1, the poking piece is arranged on the end of the impeller 320, and the reset spring is arranged on the other end of the impeller 320. The reset spring applies the bias force, towards the motor, on the impeller 320. When the reset spring and the poking piece are respectively arranged on two ends of the impeller 320, one end of the reset spring presses against the impeller 320 support of the bottom shell 310, and the other end presses against the impeller 321 shaft. When the impeller 320 is mounted to mate with the motor, the reset spring directly acts to push the impeller 320 to the direction of the motor.
The air and water duct module is connected with the base part 101 module through a second mounting structure. In a working state, the second mounting structure includes second fixing holes arranged on the bottom shell 310 in columns on left and right, a second screw holes formed on the base part 101 and corresponding to the second fixing holes at a mounting position of the bottom shell 310 and second screws configured to penetrate through the second fixing holes to form screwed connection with the second screw holes. When the bottom shell 310 is connected on the base part 101, the bottom shell 310 is fixed on the base part 101 by means of an assembling and disassembling structure at first, and then the bottom shell 310 is fastened on the base part 101 by means of the second screw. When the bottom shell 310 is disassembled from the bottom shell 310, first the second screw is disassembled to release the fastened connection between the bottom shell 310 and the base part 101, and then they are separated through the assembling and disassembling structure, as shown
The assembling and disassembling structure includes: the base part 101 and the bottom shell 310 detachably mounted on the base part 101. A locking structure is also arranged between the bottom shell 310 and the base part 101 to be configured to lock or unlock the bottom shell 310 when the bottom shell 310 is assembled or disassembled. After releasing the fasten connection between the bottom shell 310 and the base part 101, the operator may poke the poking plate 343 while holding the bottom shell 310, and then take down the bottom shell 310 from the base part 101, so as to prevent the problem that the bottom shell 310 may be separated from the base part 101 to fall after the fasten connection between the bottom shell 310 and the base part 101 in the air conditioner is released, thereby protecting the operator and preventing the parts on the bottom shell 310 from falling to be damaged. The locking structure includes: a poking plate 343 arranged on the bottom shell 310 in a sliding manner, and a locking groove arranged on the base part 101. The poking plate 343 is suitable to partially extend into the locking groove to lock the bottom shell 310 with the base part 101. When the poking plate 343 does not extend into the locking groove, the bottom shell 310 is unlocked from the base part 101.
As a deformation, the locking structure includes: a poking plate 343 arranged on the bottom shell 101 in a sliding manner, and a locking groove arranged on the base part 310. The poking plate 343 is suitable to partially extend into the locking groove to lock the bottom shell 310 with the base part 101. When the poking plate 343 does not extend into the locking groove, the bottom shell 310 is unlocked from the base part 101. The bottom shell 310 and the base part 101 have the assembling and disassembling structure. As shown in
As shown in
Two ends of the sliding bar 3433 and the sliding chute 3434 along the sliding direction are correspondingly arranged with bevels mating with the guide groove 310c or the guide bar 310d, so that the poking plate 343 mates with the bottom shell 310 in a clamping manner when it is on a locked position or an unlocked position. That is, when the poking plate pushing portion 3431 of the poking plate 343 extends into the locking groove, the poking plate 343 mates with the bottom shell 310 in a clamping manner, and the poking plate 343 achieves the aim of locking the bottom shell 310 and the base part 101. When the poking plate pushing portion 3431 of the poking plate 343 extends out from the locking groove, the poking plate 343 still mates with the bottom shell 310 in a clamping manner, and will not fall off from the bottom shell 310. A pushing position 3435 suitable to push the poking plate 343 is formed on the poking plate driving portion 3432, which is convenient for the operator to drive the poking plate driving portion 3432.
There are two locking structures, and they are symmetrically arranged at the joint of the lower part of the bottom shell 310 and the edge of the base part 101. The two locking structures may effectively lock the bottom shell 310 with the base part 101, and it is convenient for the operator to push by two hands the poking plates 343 of the two locking structures at the same time when disassembling the bottom shell 310 and the base part 101. As shown in
As shown in
Through the bottom shell structure of the air conditioner provided by the disclosure, because the volute tongue 3 is formed integrally on the bottom shell 310, vibration generating between the volute tongue 3 and the bottom shell 310 in a working condition is avoided.
Meanwhile, as shown in
In the embodiment, the sliding structure mating with the base part 101 in a sliding manner is arranged on the bottom shell 310. The bottom shell 310 is detachably mounted on the base part 101 through the sliding structure.
Specifically, the air duct and the water duct are formed on the bottom shell 310. When the air duct, the water duct and the impeller 320 need to be cleaned, the bottom shell 310 is directly disassembled from the base assembly. Compared with the problem in the conventional art that the air duct and the water duct cannot be cleaned due to arranging the air duct and the water duct on the bottom shell 310 of the base part 101, or the performance of the fan motor 141 is influenced by wetting when the air duct, the water duct or the impeller 320 are cleaned caused by fixedly connecting the fan motor 141 with the impeller 320 or fixedly mounting the fan motor 141 on the bottom shell 310 formed with the air duct and the water duct, the embodiment can not only clean the air duct, the water duct and the impeller 320, but also prevent the fan motor from being damaged by wetting.
In the embodiment, a top limiting structure 6 mating with the limiting portion on the base part 101 is formed on the top of the bottom shell 310. So the position of the bottom shell 310 on the base part 101 is limited.
In the embodiment, the impeller 320 with the impeller shaft is mounted on the bottom shell 310. The impeller shaft is arranged at a bobbin of the impeller 320 in a penetration manner. One end of the impeller shaft is rotationally mounted in the bottom shell 310, and the other end is in transmission connection with the fan motor 141. As shown in
As shown in
Meanwhile, an inner diameter of the second connecting piece 31 is greater than an outer diameter of the first connecting piece 30. The first connecting piece 30 is inserted in the second connecting piece 31. The spring 32 is mounted in a chamber formed between the first connecting piece 30 and the second connecting piece 31. In an actual working condition, the second connecting piece 31 is in a stationary state, and the first connecting piece 30 is in an active state. The spring 32 provides the bias force for separating the first connecting piece 30 from the second connecting piece 31, so that the first connecting piece 30 pushes the impeller 320 to press the fan motor 141 tight.
Specifically, the first connecting piece 30 has a hollow connecting chamber of which the inner diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the impeller shaft 321. Specifically, the impeller shaft is in sliding connection with the connecting chamber. During use, it is needed to mount the connecting chamber on the impeller shaft at first, and they can be in lubricating connection through the lubricating oil.
As a deformation, the first connecting piece 30 and the impeller shaft 321 may be connected in an interference fit manner. The first connecting piece 30 is closely connected on the impeller shaft 321, so that they are stably connected.
In the embodiment, the first connecting piece 30 is plastic, and the second connecting piece 31 is rubber.
In the embodiment, as shown in
Specifically, the motor nest 720 uses a structure of a helical sleeve. The helical sleeve goes deep into the chamber of the fan nest 710, and then, by means of the axial force, they are connected through the quick release connecting structure.
Meanwhile, as shown in
In the embodiment, as shown in
As a deformation, as shown in
Meanwhile, as shown in
Specifically, a fixedly connecting structure is a combined structure of the lower limiting assembly 304 and the lower clamping structure 303. Meanwhile, in a working state, side limiting assemblies 306 are formed on the positions, corresponding to the left and right sides of the bottom shell 310, of the base part 101. In
Specifically, the side clamping structure 307 is an elastic buckle. Two elastic buckles clamp the left and right sides of the bottom shell 310. After the bottom shell 310 is placed in the base part 101, the side clamping structure is squeezed by the bottom shell 310 to move towards the left and right sides. Meanwhile, a threaded hole 305 is formed on the base part 101. A through hole is formed on the position, corresponding to the threaded hole 305, of the bottom shell 310. The bottom shell 310 may be fixed on the base part 101 through the screw, so that the air and water duct module 300 is connected with the base part 101 better.
As shown in
In the embodiment, as shown in
When the air and water duct module 300 needs to be separated from the base part 101, it is only needed to pull the sliding rail device 900 to separate them. When the air and water duct module 300 needs to be mounted on the base part 101, it is only needed to push the sliding rail device 300 in the opposite direction to the base part 101.
As a deformation, specifically, as shown in
Through the slide 5 arranged in curved surface, the base part 101 and the bottom shell 310 are in line or surface contact when connected. Compared with the conventional surface contact, such a basic manner can significantly reduce frictional noises between friction surfaces caused by thermal expansion and contraction in industrial control conditions.
Meanwhile, as a deformation, the slide 5 may adopt other shapes, for example, a truss structure, as long as that the base part 101 and the bottom shell 310 are in the line or surface contact when connected is satisfied.
Drain holes from the water groove to the lower side of the bottom shell 310 are formed on two ends of the bottom shell 310, and a water collection groove is arranged on the base part 101. A movable transition water groove is arranged on the water collection groove. A water outlet pipe is arranged on the transition water groove. A water outlet of the water outlet pipe is always in the water collection groove when the transition water groove moves. The transition water groove moves between a ready position and a using position. At the ready position, the whole transition water groove is out of a mounting moving path of the air and water duct module 300, and at the using position, the transition water groove moves to the position where the drain hole is suitable to drain the condensed water in the water groove in the transition water groove. Then, the condensed water is drained in the water collection groove on the base part 101 via the water outlet pipe of the transition water groove, and drained out via the drain pipe connecting to the water collection groove.
As shown in
Because the water collecting structure includes the water collecting structure of base 103 on the base part 101 and the water passage on bottom shell 312 arranged on the air duct assembly 301 of the air conditioner, and a drain pipe 105 is connected on the water collecting structure of base 103, when the air duct assembly 301 is mounted on the base part 101, the water passage on bottom shell 312 is connected with the water collecting structure of base 103, and then the air duct assembly 301 is connected with the drain pipe 105. Meanwhile, because the water collecting structure of base 103 mates detachably with the water passage on bottom shell 312, when disassembled, the air duct assembly 301 may be disassembled from the base part 101 through the detachable mating between the water collecting structure of base 103 and the water passage on bottom shell 312 without disassembling the drain pipe 105. In such a manner, when the drain pipe 105 is blocked, the dirt is in the water collecting structure of base 103 or the drain pipe 105, so workloads and difficulties in the disassembling operation are reduced.
In a manner of realizing the connection between the water passage on bottom shell 312 and the drain pipe 105 through the water collecting structure of base 103, the water collecting structure further includes a sliding water collecting structure 104 which is between the water passage on bottom shell 312 and the water collecting structure of base 103 to connect them. The sliding water collecting structure 104 at least mates detachably with one of the water passage on bottom shell 312 and the water collecting structure of base 103, and then, when the air duct assembly 301 is disassembled, the water passage on bottom shell 312 and the water collecting structure of base 103 may keep a stable connected state through the sliding water collecting structure 104, thereby ensuring that the dirt will not fall out in the disassembling process. As shown in
As a deformed implementation mode, a second hollow drainage column (not shown in the drawing) is arranged on the bottom of the sliding water collecting structure 104, a second drainage groove (not shown in the drawing) is arranged on the water collecting structure of base 103, and the sliding water collecting structure 104 is connected with the water collecting structure of base 103 through the second drainage column and the second drainage groove, so that the connection between the sliding water collecting structure 104 and the water collecting structure of base 103 is realized. Meanwhile, when the sliding water collecting structure 104 moves relative to the water collecting structure of base 103, the second drainage column slides in the second drainage groove adaptively, so as to limit a relative movement between the sliding water collecting structure 104 and the water collecting structure of base 103, and then the relative movement between the sliding water collecting structure 104 and the water collecting structure of base 103 is realized. To sum up, setting the second drainage column and the second drainage groove realizes not only a function of connecting, but also a function of limiting the relative movement, so that the sliding structure and the connecting structure are integrated effectively, and the sliding water collecting structure 104 and the water collecting structure of base 103 are simplified. Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the sliding water collecting structure 104 and the water collecting structure of base 103 keep the connected state in the disassembling process, the sliding water collecting structure 104 is movably arranged on the water collecting structure of base 103. When moving towards a disassembling direction, the water passage on bottom shell 312 pushes the sliding water collecting structure 104 to move relative to the water collecting structure of base 103. Specifically, a first sliding rail 1031 is arranged on the sliding water collecting structure 103, a first slide block 1041 is arranged on the sliding water collecting structure 1041 corresponding to the first sliding rail 1031, and the first slide block 1041 slides movably in the first sliding rail 1031. When the first slide block 1041 slides in the first sliding rail 1031, the first drainage column 1042 slides in the first drainage groove 1032, thereby ensuring the stability of connection between the sliding water collecting structure 104 and the water collecting structure of base 103 when the sliding water collecting structure 104 slides in the water collecting structure of base 103.
In addition, the relative sliding between the sliding water collecting structure 104 and the water collecting structure of base 103 is also implemented in a manner that the sliding water collecting structure 104 moves relative to the base part 101, that is, a second sliding rail (not shown in the drawing) is arranged on the base part 101, a second slide block (not shown in the drawing) is arranged on the sliding water collecting structure 104 corresponding to the second sliding rail, and the second slide block slides movably in the second sliding rail. When a manner of setting the first sliding rail 1031 on the water collecting structure of base 103, setting the first slide block 1041 on the sliding water collecting structure 104 corresponding to the first sliding rail 1031, and meanwhile, setting the second sliding rail on the base part 101, and setting the second slide block on the sliding water collecting structure 104 corresponding to the second sliding rail is adopted, the relative movement between the sliding water collecting structure 104 and the water collecting structure of base 103 is more stable through the mating between the first sliding rail 1031 and the first slide block 1041 and the mating between the second sliding rail and the second slide block.
As shown in
In addition, a self-locking structure (not shown in the drawing) is arranged on the sliding water collecting structure 104. When the water passage on bottom shell 312 is assembled in place, the sliding water collecting structure 104 is fixed in the water collecting structure of base 103 through the self-locking structure, and limits the water passage on bottom shell 312 to move on the base part 101, so that the air duct assembly 301 is assembled in place through the self-locking structure on the sliding water collecting structure 104 without adding the locking structure.
As an alternative implementation mode, there are two groups of water collecting structures. The water passages on bottom shell 312 of the two groups of water collecting structures are fixedly arranged on the left and right sides of the air duct assembly 301 respectively, and the water collecting structure of base 103 and the sliding water collecting structure 104, mating with their own water passages on bottom shell 312, in the two groups of water collecting structures are arranged on the left and right sides of the base part 101 respectively and correspondingly.
The embodiment provides an evaporator, and a connected structure of the evaporate and a bottom shell. The connected structure mainly includes the bottom shell a310 and the evaporator arranged on the bottom shell a310.
The evaporator is an important component of a heat exchange module in an air conditioner. The heat exchange module includes a fin a220 which is entirely supported by angular frames on two ends and cross section of which is inverted-U-shaped. Two ends of the fin a220 are arranged with sealing parts, so an open chamber 222 is formed in the inverted-U-shaped inside of the fin a220. The pipeline in the fin a220 is connected with an outdoor unit through connection pipelines consisting of a liquid inlet pipe a2231 and an air collection pipe a2232. In the embodiment, there are tee structures a2233 and a2234 arranged on both the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232. Both sides of the fin a220 are arranged with outdoor unit connection terminals of the connection pipelines through the tee structures a2233 and a2234.
In the embodiment, both the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are connected on the side, far away from a motor bracket 110, of the fin a220. One branch passing through the tee structures a2233 and a2234 forms a U-shaped bend which bypasses the motor bracket 110 from the side, far away from a back plate of a base part a101, of the motor bracket after extending beyond the length of the fin a220 at a position close to the back plate of the base part a101, reaches a lower edge of the back plate of the base part a101 in a working and mounting state, and bends, at the position close to the back plate of the base part a101, towards an end of the base part a101 on this side. Another branch passing through the tee structures a2233 and a2234 extends to the lower edge of the back plate of the base part a101 in the working and mounting state on this side, and bends, at the position close to the back plate of the base part a101, towards the end of the base part a101 on this side. A fixing structure is arranged on the angular frame 210. In the embodiment, the fixing structure is a connection pipe clamping groove 211 formed on the angular frame 210. The extending parts of the connection pipelines are clamped in the connection pipe clamping groove 211 to realize a fixing function. The fixing structure fixes the position of the extending parts of the connection pipelines, thereby improving the security of the pipeline during running.
The above embodiment may adjust arrangement of the connection pipelines (namely a combination of the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232) according to needs. When the outdoor unit connection terminal needs to be arranged on only one side aiming at a particular user, it is only needed to connect the pipeline of the fin a220 with the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 at the proper position of the corresponding side of the fin a220.
When it is needed to arrange the outdoor unit connection terminals on two sides, both the connection pipelines in the above embodiment may also be connected on the side, close to the motor bracket 110, of the fin a220. In such a manner, convenient assembly and disassembly may be realized. However, in this case, if one branch passing through the tee structures a2233 and a2234 still extends beyond the length of the fin a220 from the position close to the back plate of the base part a101, and reaches the end, far away from the motor bracket 110, of the base part a101, it is needed to arrange four side-by-side pipelines on the side close to the motor bracket 110, which increases the length of the heat exchange module, and then increases the whole length of the indoor unit. However, if a solution that one branch passing through the tee structures a2233 and a2234 extends beyond the length of the fin a220 from the position, far away from the base part a101, of the fin a220 is adopted, there is no such problem. But after the exterior module 400 is opened, the inside looks messy.
The evaporator of the embodiment mainly consists of the fin a220 formed with a number of refrigerant flow channels. The refrigerant flow channel are connected in order through U-shaped pipes therebetween. An open end of the U-shaped pipe is detachably arranged with an elbow to form a complete refrigerant flow channel. The refrigerant flow channel includes a refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet arranged on the first side of the fin a220, and further includes the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 respectively connected with the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet. A number of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and a number of air collection pipes a2232 are respectively combined into a header liquid inlet pipe a2231 and a header air collection pipe a2232 through a liquid separating head a4 and an air collecting head a5. In the embodiment, the fin a220 and the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 arranged thereon are preferentially arranged on the same side of the base part a101, so that the fin a220 may be assembled on the base part a101 from the top down. The significance of arranging the fin a220 and the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 arranged thereon on the same side of the base part a101 lies in: after the fin a220 and the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are formed into an assembly, and the assembly is assembled with the bottom shell a310, there is no need to bend the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 to another side of the bottom shell a310, so that the mounting steps are simplified. Specifically, there is no need to manually bend the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 and manually bend them back to design angles after assembling is completed, so this manner is suitable to use mechanized automated assembly, helps to improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost. Specifically, referring to
It is to be noted that assembling the evaporator on the bottom shell a310 from the top down is that after the base part a101 is fixed, the evaporator may be directly mounted on the base part a101 from the front side of the base part a101. For example, when the base part is arranged horizontally in a form as shown in
On the other hand, when the existing air conditioner is mounted, the joint where the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are connected with the outdoor unit is on the rear side of the base part a101, it is needed to keep the base part a101 in a forward supported state to complete the connection of the pipes in the process of mounting the air conditioner. In the above implementation mode, obviously the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are on the front side of the base part a101 together with the evaporator, so there is no need to support forward the base part a101 in the process of mounting the air conditioner.
In the embodiment, water grooves a312 are arranged on the front end and the back end, corresponding to the evaporator, of the bottom shell a310. The liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are connected on the evaporator (namely the fin a220). The liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are bent and arranged in the water groove a312. Thus, in the running process of the air conditioner, after the evaporator contacts with air carrying water vapor, the water vapor condenses on the surface of the evaporator, and gather in the water groove a312 along the surface of the evaporator, and after extending in the water groove a312, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 may keep cool by means of the water in the water groove, thereby preventing unnecessary heat exchange between the outside and the refrigerant in the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232, and helping to improving an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the water vapor has a relatively low temperature after condensing, so an effect of keeping the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 cool is further improved; at the same time, there is always condensed water in the water groove a312, so the effect of keeping the liquid inlet pipe and the air collection pipe cool is not decreased in a long-term use.
In the embodiment, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are connected on the fin a220. There are two groups of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and the air collection pipes a2232, and they extend, towards the two sides of the fin a220, out from the evaporator shell Through the above implementation mode, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 may be connected with an outdoor unit connection pipe on both sides of the evaporator, so it is beneficial to reducing the step of bending the pipe during mounting the air conditioner. Specifically, when mounting the air conditioner, the operator may select the proper side to directly connect the pipes with the outdoor unit connection pipe, so the step of bending the connection pipe to the other side of the air conditioner is eliminated.
It is to be noted that the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 may be arranged in one group or two groups. When the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are arranged in one group:
as a preference of the above implementation mode, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are connected on the first side of the fin a220, and extend out of the evaporator shell from the first side of the fin a220; the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 may also be connected on the first side of the fin a220, and extend out of the evaporator shell from the second side of the fin a220 after being bent.
Specifically, there are following two forms of making pipe out about that the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are connected on the first side of the fin a220, and extend out of the evaporator shell from the first side of the fin a220:
1. the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are connected on the first side of the fin a220 and bent upwards along the contour of the fin a220 to approach the bottom shell a310, and then, they are bent downwards along the contour of the bottom shell a310 and bent towards the first side of the fin a220, so as to extend out of the evaporator shell;
2. as an alternative of the above implementation mode, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are bent downwards along the contour of the fin a220 to be far away from the bottom shell a310, and bent towards the first side of the fin a220.
Because the inside of the chamber formed between the base part a101 and the evaporator shell may be configured to arrange the motor and other parts, by adopting the above two forms of making pipe out, that is, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are arranged along the contours of the base part a101 and the evaporator shell, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are prevented from occupying available space, and structure design of the air conditioner is optimized.
When the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 are arranged in two groups:
As a preferred implementation mode, the first group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 are connected on the first side of the fin a220; the tee structures a2233 and a2234 are respectively arranged on the first group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232; the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 are respectively connected with two tee structures a2233 and a2234, so that the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 are connected with the first group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232. In such case, the first group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 extend out of the evaporator shell towards the first side of the fin a220, and the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 extend towards the second side of the fin a220 from the joint, and extend out of the evaporator shell from the second side of the fin a220.
Specifically, there are several forms of arranging pipes for the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232. The different forms of arranging pipes may achieve different effects, which are illustrated below by giving examples in combination with the drawings
Specifically, the fin a220 is formed by connecting a number of folding fins in order. The first folding fin is arranged close to the base part a101, and the last folding fin is farthest from the base part a101. After extending to the second side of the fin a220, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and air collection pipe a2232 extend out towards the second side of the fin a220 after being bent.
As a preferred implementation mode, the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 extend from the upper part of the fin a220 (especially the upper part of the first folding fin) to the second side of the fin a220. Preferably, the parts, across the top of a first folding evaporator, of the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 are arranged slantwise along the top surface of the evaporator, and an included angle between an inclined direction and a horizontal direction is 0-10 degrees. Specifically, as shown in

The first group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 and the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 are not limited to be connected on the same side of the fin a220, and they may be respectively connected on two sides of the fin a220. When the first group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 and the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 are respectively connected on the two sides of the fin a220, the first group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 extend out of the evaporator shell on the first side, and the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 extend out of the evaporator shell on the second side.

Because the liquid separating head a4 and the air collecting head a5 which occupy more space, and a certain pipe bending structure are arranged between the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 and the heat exchanger k104, connecting the first group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 with the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232, and bending the second group of liquid inlet pipes a2231 and air collection pipes a2232 to the second side of the fin a220 may save the inner space of the fin a220 effectively, and reduce the assembling step. In addition, the refrigerant flow channel in the fin a220 consists of the U-shaped pipe and the bend, and the bend may be detachably connected on the U-shaped pipe, so taking the side with the bend of the fin a220 as the first side facilitates assembly. That is, according to the needs of spatial arrangement of the air conditioner, the air collecting head a5 connected integrally with a number of air collecting branch pipes k103 and the liquid separating head a4 connected integrally with a number of liquid inlet branch pipes k102 are arranged on the right side or the left side of the evaporator, and then the liquid separating head a4 and the air collecting head a5 are connected with the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232.

Meanwhile, the liquid inlet pipe a2231 and the air collection pipe a2232 extending to the right side of the heat exchanger k104 are arranged in parallel. A liquid inlet header pipe and an air collection header pipe have an advantage of optimizing the spatial arrangement of the evaporator by being arranged in parallel.
The evaporator, the heat exchanger k104, the liquid inlet header pipe, the air collection header pipe and a T-branch pipe are arranged on the same side of the bottom shell of the air conditioner.

One through hole s4151 is arranged on each chute body s4152, and each through hole s4151 is arranged corresponding to the panel buckle s414 on the back of the panel s412.
In the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment, multiple groups of pushing and pulling buckles are arranged on the panel, and the structure height of the pushing and pulling buckle is ¼ of the height of the original panel buckle. The design of such a buckle structure reduces the height of the buckle, and the buckle is less likely to break when falling, so the problem in the conventional art that a hinge, the buckle and other connecting parts on the panel often break in a drop test is solved, a design cycle is shortened, and the cost of mold production and time cost are saved. On the other hand, the panel of the air conditioner indoor unit of the disclosure may be disassembled by translating, so the assembly and disassembly of the panel of the air conditioner is simplified, and it is beneficial to cleaning the air conditioner indoor unit.
The embodiment provides a wall-type unit in the exterior module of a modularized air conditioner indoor unit. The wall-type unit includes the base part s101, the panel s412, at least one extending and retracting mechanism and a mounting body m44.

As shown in
A stepped face is formed between the second pressing portion m453 and the end face of the other end of the second strip-shaped body m451. The stepped face leans against the inner surface of the panel s412, so as to locate whether the panel 412 is mounted in place when mounting the panel s412.
As shown in
As shown in
Preferably, there are air outlet modules arranged on the bottom of the base part s101 and the bottom of the panel s412. The air outlet is formed on the air outlet module. By fixing the air outlet module on the base part s101, the air outlet module is on the bottom of the panel s412 and the base part s101, so the air outlet module, the panel s412, the two side plates m7 and the base part s101 form the whole exterior of the air conditioner wall-type unit.
The two air inlets p23 are formed on the horizontal part m22 of the panel s412. The two third through holes m11 are formed on the vertical part m23 of the panel s412. The two third through holes m11 are on two sides of the two air inlets. Corresponding to the two third through holes m11, two mounting bodies m44 and two extending and retracting mechanisms are arranged in the chamber to detachably arrange the two ends of the panel s412 on the base part s101. Along the width direction of the horizontal part m22, two mounting bodies m44 are respectively formed on the inner surfaces of the two side plates m7. A second connecting portion m454 is on the end face of the end, facing towards the spring, of the second strip-shaped body m451. As a deformation, the connecting piece may also be transformed into a connecting shaft, so as to sheath the spring on this end of the second strip-shaped body m451. The third clamping portion m452 of the second strip-shaped body m451 is inserted in the fourth clamping groove m441, and the second pressing portion m453 extends out of the third through hole m11. When the second pressing portion m453 is pressed towards the chamber, the second strip-shaped body m451 and the second pressing portion m453 do a linear retracting movement along the width direction of the horizontal part m22 of the panel s412, and then the third through hole m11 on the panel s412 separates from the second pressing portion m453, and the panel s412 is disassembled from the air conditioner for cleaning conveniently. Meanwhile, other parts in the chamber are exposed, so it is convenient to clean and overhaul the other parts; for example, the evaporator is cleaned, and the electrical box and other structures are overhauled.
For the air conditioner wall-type unit in the embodiment, when the panel s412 needs to be disassembled, it is only needed to press the second pressing portion m453 towards the chamber along the width direction of the horizontal part m22 of the panel s412, that is, the second pressing portion m453 is pressed on the front of the wall-type unit to make the second pressing portion m453 extend in the chamber, and the panel s412 breaks away from the limit of the second pressing portion m453, and is dissembled from the base part s101; then, the panel s412 may be removed, and the acting force on the second pressing portion m453 is taken off. After the panel s412 is removed, under the action of the reset force of the spring, the second limiting piece m45 extends to the third through hole m11, so that the second pressing portion m453 resets and locates at the start position. The panel s412 and the evaporator exposed are cleaned, and the electrical structures are overhauled; after they are cleaned or overhauled, it is only needed to sheath the panel s412 and the third through hole m11 on the second pressing portion m453, so that the stepped face between the second strip-shaped body m451 and the second pressing portion m453 leans against the inner surface of the panel s412, and then, the panel s412 may be mounted on the base part s101. In such a manner, when assembled and disassembled, the panel s412 does not deform, and the fastness of mounting the panel s412 on the base part s101 is ensured. The pressing way is convenient to disassemble and assemble the panel s412.
The following is an alternative embodiment of the embodiment.
As a deformation of the support, the support may also be in other shapes, for example, an L-shaped support plate or a similar sliding chute. The second limiting piece m45 is in overlap joint with the horizontal part of the L-shaped support plate. The similar sliding chute is configured to support the second limiting piece m45, so that the second limiting piece m45 may extend and retract on it more smoothly. As a further deformation, the support may not be arranged, and the second limiting piece m45 is supported only through a mating relationship between the third clamping portion m452 and the fourth clamping groove m441 on the second limiting piece m45.
As shown in
In the implementation mode, when the panel s412 needs to be disassembled, under the action of the spring for example, the second poking block m44 is on the left side of the long waist-shaped hole at beginning, the panel s412 may be dissembled from the air conditioner after breaking away from the limit of the second poking block m455 only by poking rightwards the second poking block m455 to make the second poking block m455 drive the second limiting piece m45 to move slantwise towards the third through hole m11, and make the second poking block m455 extend in the chamber. After the panel is removed, the acting force on the second poking block m455 is taken off; under the reset force of the spring, the second poking block m455 and the second limiting piece m45 does the extending movement contrary to the retracting movement, so that the second limiting piece m45 and the second poking block m455 are reset to the start position. When the panel s412 is mounted, the mounting process may be completed only by sheathing the third through hole m11 of the panel s412 on the second poking block m44, locating the second poking block m455 on the left end of the third through hole m11, and making the end, far away from the vertical part m23, of the horizontal part m22 of the panel s412 lean against the inner surface of the top of the base part s101. In the implementation mode, when the second poking block m455 is in the third through hole m11, the end, facing towards the third through hole m11, of the second limiting piece m45 may also be in the third through hole. When an acting force is applied on the poking block, both the poking block and the end limited in the third through hole extend in the chamber. As a deformation, in the implementation mode, it is unnecessary to arrange the second poking block m455, the end, facing towards the third through hole m11, of the second limiting piece m45 directly extends out of the third through hole m11. By directly pressing this end of the second limiting piece m45 to make it move linearly and slantwise on the mounting body m44 and extend in the chamber, the panel s412 may be disassembled from the air conditioner.
As a second deformation mode of the position of forming the third through hole m11, the two side plates m7 are fixed on two ends of the vertical part m23 of the panel s412, and the two third through holes m11 are respectively formed on the two side plates m7. Correspondingly, the mounting body m44 is horizontally mounted on the other parts adjacent to its, such as the air duct assembly, the evaporator, the electrical mechanism, or the base part. Correspondingly, the second limiting piece m45 is horizontally mounted on the mounting body m44. One end of the spring is fixed on the second limiting piece m45, and the other end is fixed on the parts adjacent to its, such as the air duct assembly, the evaporator, the electrical mechanism, or the base part. In the implementation mode, when the panel s412 needs to be disassembled, it is only needed to press inwards the second pressing portion m453 along the horizontal direction to make the whole second pressing portion m453 retract back to the chamber, then the panel s412 is disassembled.
As a deformation of the third through hole m11, there can also be three, four, five and six third through holes m11. Each of the third through holes m11 mates with one extending and retracting mechanism corresponding to one mounting boy m44, so as to detachably arrange the panel s412 on the base part s101. The number of the third through holes m11 is determined according to the actual use situations and requirements of users.
As a deformation, it is unnecessary to arrange the two side plates m7, the mounting body m44 may be fixed on other parts. As a further deformation, the panel s412 may only have the vertical part m23. The air inlet p23 is formed between the top of the vertical part m23 and the top of the base part s101. The third through hole m11 is formed on the vertical part m23.
As a deformation, it is unnecessary to form the stepped face between the end faces of the second pressing portion m453 and the second strip-shaped body m451. This end of the second strip-shaped body m451 directly extends out of the third through hole m11. Or, it is unnecessary to arrange the second pressing portion m453.
As a further deformation, it is unnecessary to arrange the second connecting portion m454 on the end, facing towards the spring, of the second strip-shaped body m451, and one end of the spring is directly connected to this end of the second strip-shaped body m451 in a sleeving manner. As a deformation, this end of the spring may also be fixed on the second strip-shaped body m451 in other manners. As a deformation of the first elastic piece m436, except the spring, the first elastic piece m436 may also be a reed or other elastic objects.
As a deformation of the second strip-shaped body m451, there can also be three, four and five third clamping portions m452 on the second strip-shaped body m451, correspondingly, three, four and five fourth clamping grooves m441 are arranged on the mounting body m44. The multiple third clamping portions m452 mate with the fourth clamping grooves m441 one by one, so as to ensure that the second limiting piece m45 linearly moves in the fourth clamping grooves m441 more smoothly.
Further, the second limiting piece m45 may also be in other shapes, for example, a circular column or a plate, only it has two third clamping portions m452 facing towards the mounting body m44, and mates with the fourth clamping grooves m441 on the mounting body m44, and the third clamping portions m452 extend and retract in the fourth clamping grooves m441.
As a deformation of the mounting body m44, the mounting body m44 may also be in other shapes, for example, a strip-shaped body or a plate mechanism, only the fourth clamping groove m441 suitable to clamp the third clamping portion m452 is formed on it. The fourth clamping groove m441 may also be in other shapes.
As a further deformation, the third clamping portion m452 on the second limiting piece m45 is replaced with the clamping groove, correspondingly the fourth clamping groove m441 on the mounting body m44 is replaced with the clamping portion or other mating structures, only the second limiting piece m45 extends and retracts on the mounting body m44 with the help of the first elastic piece m436 and external force to make the other end of the second limiting piece m45 extend out of the third through hole m11 or retract back to the chamber, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the panel s412.
As a deformation, the extending and retracting mechanism may also be directly arranged on the other parts in the chamber without arranging the mounting body m44. As a deformation of the extending and retracting mechanism, the extending and retracting mechanism may also be other structures, for example, an extending and retracting motor arranged in the chamber. Another end of the second limiting piece m45 fixed on an extending and retracting shaft of the motor extends out of the third through hole m11, so that the second limiting piece m45 extends and retracts towards or far away from the third through hole m11 to detachably mount the panel s412 relative to the base part s101. Or, the second limiting piece m45 is driven by a cylinder to extend and retract.
In addition, the “base part” mentioned in the embodiment is the base or the bottom shell mounted on the wall of the air conditioner indoor unit. The exterior module includes the shell module, the air outlet module and the air guide module. Both the base part and the panel mentioned in the embodiment belong to the shell module.

The air inlets p23 are respectively arranged on the left panel and the right panel. The first filtering screen is detachably arranged on the air inlets p23 of the left panel and the right panel, and then, when the pane is disassembled to be cleaned, the filtering screen may be cleaned or maintained and replaced at the same time, so the operation steps are simplified, and the operation difficulty is reduce.
As an implementation mode of deformation, each sub-panel has at least two filtering screens. The first filtering screen is formed integrally on the panel body p21 or the front panel p22 of each sub-panel, that is, the first filtering screen can not only be detachably mounted on the panel, but also be formed integrally on the panel.
When is arranged, the first filtering screen is arranged on the panel body p21 above the left panel and the right panel, as shown in
In order to achieve a better air filtering effect, the air conditioner further includes a second filtering screen p50. The second filtering screen p50 is fixedly arranged on the rear shell body p10. The second filtering screen p50 is above the heat exchanger p200 of the air conditioner and coats the air inlet of the heat exchanger p200, as shown in

When the air outlet frame m3 needs to be disassembled from the air conditioner, the fixing assembly m4 first disables the function of locking the side plate m7, then after a downward pulling force is applied on the air outlet frame m3, the first sliding block m52 of the side plate m7 slides downwards in the first sliding chute m51. When the first sliding block m52 slides to the flaring groove m511, the first sliding block m52 is in the flaring groove m511 and is drawn from the flaring groove m511, so that the side plate m7 and the air outlet frame m3 are integrally dissembled from the air conditioner to be cleaned. After the side plate m7 and the air outlet frame m3 are cleaned, an upwards pushing force is applied on the air outlet frame m3, and the first sliding block m52 of the side plate m7 slides in the first sliding chute m51 again from the flaring groove m511, so that the air outlet frame m3 and the side plate m7 are integrally arranged in the first sliding chute m51 in a sliding manner. Under the action of the upward pushing force, the side plate m7 slides to the top of the air conditioner, so that the side plate m7 and the air outlet frame m3 are reset, and then locked by the locking assembly m4. In such a manner, the air outlet frame m3 is arranged on the mounting rack s411 in a sliding manner by pushing and pulling.
As a deformation of the first sliding chute m51, the first sliding chute m51 may also be replaced with the first through hole m53; correspondingly, the flaring groove m511 is replaced with a flaring hole. The flaring hole is a trapezoid-shaped hole or a trumpet-shaped hole, or of other shapes. The specific shape is not limited specifically.

In the air outlet assembly of the embodiment, the air outlet frame m3 with the air outlet and the panel s412 are arranged separately. As a single part, when the air outlet needs to be cleaned, the first limiting portion m42 is poked, so that the first limiting portion m42 releases the limit to the lug boss, and the lug boss separates from the stepped face of the first limiting portion m42 to apply a downwards pulling force on the air outlet frame m3, then the air outlet frame m3 and the two side plates m7 integrally slide downwards in the first sliding chute m51 or the first through hole m453. When the first sliding block m52 of the side plate m7 slides in the flaring groove m511 or the flaring hole, the first sliding block m52 of the side plate m7 is drawn from the flaring groove m511 or the flaring hole, then the air outlet frame m3, the two side plates m7 and the air sweeping mechanism m12 are disassembled integrally from the air conditioner to be cleaned. After cleaning, the upwards pushing force is applied on the air outlet frame m3 to push the first sliding block m52 of the side plate m7 in the first sliding chute m51 or the first through hole m53 via the flaring groove m511 or the flaring hole, until the inner surface of the horizontal part of the air outlet frame m3 leans against on the bottom surface of the base part s101; at this point, the air outlet frame m3 and the side plate m7 are reset to an initial state, the lug boss on the side plate m7 is jointed on the stepped face of the first limiting portion m42 in an overlapping manner, and then the process of mounting the air outlet frame m3 and the side plate m7 is completed. In such a manner, a pushing and pulling manner is formed to mount integrally the air outlet frame m3 and the side plate m7 on the mounting rack s411 or disassemble them from the mounting rack s411, so as to conveniently clean the air outlet frame m3, the side plate m7 and the air sweeping mechanism m12.
As a deformation of the sliding mechanism, each sliding mechanism includes the guide rail arranged on the wall surface, facing towards the side of the side plate m7, of the mounting rack s411, and a sliding assembly arranged on the guide rail in a sliding manner. The side plate m7 is detachably fixed on one end of the sliding assembly, and this end of the sliding assembly may extend out of the guide rail. The sliding assembly includes a second sliding block (not shown in the drawing) and the connecting piece m54 fixed on the second sliding block. As shown in
With the sliding rail mechanism of the implementation mode, when the air outlet frame m3 needs to be cleaned, the fixing assembly m4 needs to first disables the function of locking the side plate m7, then after the downward pulling force is applied on the air outlet frame m3, the second sliding block slides downwards on the guide rail, and the L-shaped plate drives the side plate m7 to slide downwards on the guide rail. When the side plate m7 slides downwards to the lower end of the guide rail, the first clamping groove on the side plate m7 is separated from the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate, then the air outlet frame m3 and the side plate m7 may be disassembled integrally from the air conditioner. Later, the horizontal part of the L-shaped plate is inserted in the first sliding chute to fix the side plate m7 with the connecting piece m54. When the pushing force is applied on the air outlet frame m3, the air outlet frame m3 and the side plate m7 slide upwards on the guide rail, so that the air outlet frame m3 and the side plate m7 are reset, and then locked by the fixing assembly m4. The sliding mechanism of the implementation mode realizes the detachable connection between the side plate m7 and the sliding assembly through the mating between the first clamping groove and the first insertion portion m541.
As a preference of the first clamping groove, the bump is formed on the inner wall surface of the side plate m7, the first clamping groove is formed on the bump; or the first clamping groove is directly formed on the inner wall surface of the side plate m7.
As a deformation of the sliding assembly, the connecting piece m54 in the sliding assembly may also be T-shaped. The T-shaped horizontal part is inserted in the first clamping groove of the side plate m7. Or, the connecting piece m54 is the structure of other shapes, only its one end is fixed on the second sliding block, and the other end serves as the first insertion portion and forms a detachable connection with the side plate m7. As a further deformation, the sliding assembly may also be other structures, for example, the cylinder or the motor driving piece m54 goes up and down on the mounting rack s411 along the vertical direction, one end of the connecting piece m54 is fixed on an extending and retracting shaft of the cylinder or the motor, and the other end is detachably connected on the side plate m7.
As a deformation of the sliding mechanism, except the above two implementation modes, the sliding structure may also be other existing sliding mechanisms, only the two side plates m7 of the air outlet frame m3 are arranged on the mounting rack s411 in a sliding manner.
As a deformation, the structure of the air outlet frame m3 may also be in other shapes, for example, it is U-shaped, or arc-shaped, or in other shapes, only the air outlet is formed on it; the specific shape needs to be designed according to the specific requirements of the users.
As a deformation, the mounting rack s411 may also be a plate, for example, an L-shaped plate, or a T-shaped plate, or a vertical plate. As a further deformation, the mounting rack s411 may also be other structures, only the first sliding chute m51 or the first through hole m53 are formed, or the guide rail may be mounted on it. The mounting rack s411 is mounted between the base part s101 and the panel s412 of the air conditioner indoor unit.
As a deformation, the first clamping portion m41 and the first limiting portion m42 in the fixing assembly m4 may also be in other shapes; for example, the first limiting portion m42 is the first bump on which a groove is formed, the first clamping portion m41 is the second bump which is inserted in the groove of the first bump. The first bump and the second bump may be separated only by poking the top of the first bump.
