The present disclosure relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular, to a window air conditioner.
Nowadays, window air conditioners are increasingly widely used due to their convenient use and simple installation. During the production and assembly process of the air conditioner, the indoor air duct shell and the indoor heat exchanger need to be installed at the chassis and the indoor water pan. However, in the conventional technology, the indoor air duct shell and the indoor heat exchanger are separately installed at the indoor water pan, and the assembly efficiency is low.
In the conventional technology, side plates are provided at both ends of the heat exchanger of the air conditioner, which is convenient for installing the heat exchanger on other structures through the side plates, and also for passing the connection pipes at both ends of the heat exchanger on the side plates. With the operation of the air conditioner, condensed water will be generated on the connection pipes at both ends of the heat exchanger, and the condensed water will accumulate at the position where the connection pipes are installed at the side plate. However, in the conventional technology, since the condensed water accumulated on the side plate of the heat exchanger cannot conduct water well, condensed water may spill out of the chassis, resulting in product quality problems and a bad experience for customers. The condensed water generated on the part where the refrigerant pipe of the evaporator matches the side plate may flow out of the water pan along the side plate, as a result, the condensed water on the evaporator will drip onto other parts of the air conditioner, causing a safety hazard or possibly falling on the indoor floor.
In addition, in the conventional technology, a display box is provided at the front of the air conditioner to display the running status of the air conditioner. Moreover, the front end of the air conditioner is also provided with an indoor heat exchanger, which makes the indoor heat exchanger and the pipeline at the end of the indoor heat exchanger relatively close to the display box, so that the connection wires of the display box are relatively close to the pipeline. With the operation of the air conditioner, condensed water will be generated on the pipelines at both ends of the indoor heat exchanger, and the connection wires of the display box near the pipelines will lead to water diversion. Condensed water may be introduced into the display box or other electrical devices connected to the connection wires, which will cause safety hazards to the display box and other electrical devices and affect product quality.
Furthermore, a temperature detector is often provided at the heat exchanger of the air conditioner to detect the temperature of the heat exchanger, but the temperature detector is difficult to replace and maintain.
Based on this, the present disclosure provides a window air conditioner, which aims to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems in the conventional technology.
To achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure proposes the following technical solutions.

That is, a positioning structure can be provided between the indoor water pan 100 and the indoor heat exchanger 300 to position the two, which is convenient for subsequent connection and fixing of the two, and can also make the connection between the two more stable and reliable.
The indoor air duct shell 400 includes the shell connection plate 410 connected to the indoor heat exchanger 300. Moreover, the front side of the indoor heat exchanger 300 is connected to the support ribs 210 of the support frame 200. The rear side of the indoor heat exchanger 300 is provided with a heat exchanger back plate 302, and the heat exchanger back plate 302 is detachably connected to the shell connection plate 410. The shell connection plates 410 can be arranged at both sides of the indoor air duct shell 400 and can be connected to both sides of the heat exchanger back plate 302 of the indoor heat exchanger 300.

By arranging the shell flange plate 420 on the side of the shell connection plate 410, the connection range of the shell connection plate 410 can be extended, therefore, the indoor air duct shell 400 can be adapted to indoor heat exchangers 300 of different sizes, and has good compatibility.
In addition, the indoor air duct shell 400 may include at least one shell screw connection seat 430 protruding from the shell connection plate 410 or the shell flange plate 420.

Further, a plurality of pipe installation holes 366 and 368 may be formed at the shell side plate 362, some pipe installation holes are provided with pipe installation rings 370, and each pipe installation hole 366 and 368 is respectively provided with a connection pipe 2522. It can be seen that the pipe installation ring 370 can connect and fasten the connection pipe 2522. By disposing the pipe installation ring 370 at part of the pipe installation holes 366 or 368, only part of the connection pipe 2522 can be fixed, the other connection pipes 2522 only pass through the pipe installation holes 366 and 368 without being fixed. In this way, the installation, removing and maintenance of the connection pipe 2522 are facilitated, the operation efficiency is high, and the damage to the connection pipe 2522 can also be reduced.
Besides, the bottom surface of the outer water guide groove 372 can be recessed on the outer surface of the shell side plate 362. That is, the height of the bottom of the outer water guide groove 372 is lower than the height of the outer surface of the shell side plate 362, such that the condensed water in the pipe installation ring 370 can be easily guided from the outer water guide groove 372 to the outer surface of the shell side plate 362, so that the condensed water can flow down along the outer surface of the shell side plate 362.
In addition, the bottom surface of the outer water guide groove 372 is flush with the outer surface of the shell side plate 362. That is, the height of the bottom of the outer water guide groove 372 can be kept the same as the height of the outer surface of the shell side plate 362, such that the condensed water in the pipe installation ring 370 can also be smoothly guided from the outer water guide groove 372 to the outer surface of the shell side plate 362, so that the condensed water can flow down along the outer surface of the shell side plate 362.
In addition, the bottom surface of the outer water guide groove 360 slightly protrudes from the outer surface of the shell side plate 362. That is, the height of the bottom of the outer water guide groove 372 is slightly larger than the height of the outer surface of the shell side plate 362, such that the condensed water in the pipe installation ring 370 can also be smoothly guided from the outer water guide groove 372 to the outer surface of the shell side plate 362, so that the condensed water can flow down along the outer surface of the shell side plate 362.
Moreover, the bottom surface of the outer water guide groove 372 can be a flat surface, and the condensed water in the pipe installation ring 370 is also guided from the flat-bottomed outer water guide groove 372 to the outer surface of the shell side plate 362. Alternatively, the bottom surface of the outer water guide groove 372 may be an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is inclined from the pipe installation hole to the outside of the pipe installation ring 370. That is, the outer water guide groove 372 can be an inclined groove, and the condensed water inside the pipe installation ring 370 can flow more smoothly to the outer surface of the shell side plate 362 along the inclined groove.
Besides, the side plate structure 360 may include a side plate retaining ring 364 protruding from the periphery of the shell side plate 362. A retaining ring groove is formed around the side plate retaining ring 364, and both the connection pipe 2522 and the pipe installation ring 370 are located in the retaining ring groove. A protruding side plate retaining ring 364 is provided at the periphery of the shell side plate 362 to further protect the periphery, so as to prevent the condensed water from directly falling outside the shell side plate 362 and easily falling out of the chassis 10. Further, the bottom of the side plate retaining ring 364 can also be provided with a retaining ring opening 3642, and the retaining ring opening 3642 communicates with the retaining ring groove and the outside. A retaining ring opening 3642 is provided at the bottom of the side plate retaining ring 364 so that the condensed water on the shell side plate 362 can flow out from the retaining ring opening 3642.
Besides, the pipe installation hole can include a first pipe installation hole 366 and a second pipe installation hole 368 respectively provided the shell side plate 362, and a pipe installation ring 370 is provided at the outer side of the first pipe installation hole 366. Moreover, part of the connection pipe 2522 is installed in the first pipe installation hole 366 and clamped in the pipe installation ring 370, and part of the connection pipe 2522 is installed in the second pipe installation hole 368. That is, part of the connection pipe 2522 can be clamped by the pipe installation ring 370, and part of the connection pipe 2522 only passes through the pipe installation hole 368 and is not clamped. Moreover, the inner surface of the shell side plate 362 may be provided with an inner water guide groove 369, and the inner water guide groove 369 communicates with the first pipe installation hole 366 and the second pipe installation hole 368. Since the pipe installation ring 370 is disposed outside the first pipe installation hole 366, condensed water is easy to accumulate in the pipe installation ring 370 and the first pipe installation hole 366, the second fixing installation hole 368 does not fix the connection pipe 2522, such that there is a gap between the second fixing installation hole 368 and the connection pipe 2522, so that the condensed water can flow out from the second pipe installation hole 368 to the outer surface of the shell side plate 362. By arranging the inner water guide groove 369 on the inner sides of the first pipe installation hole 366 and the second pipe installation hole 368, the first pipe installation hole 366 and the second pipe installation hole 368 can be communicated with each other, such that the condensed water accumulated in the first pipe installation hole 366 can flow into the second pipe installation hole 368 along the inner water guide groove 369 and flow out to the outer surface of the shell side plate 362.
Besides, the bottom of each first pipe installation hole 366 is provided with the inner water guide groove 369, and the inner water guide groove 369 communicates with the adjacent first pipe installation hole 366 and the second pipe installation hole 368. That is, the condensed water accumulated in each of the first pipe installation holes 366 can be guided into the second pipe installation holes 368 through the inner water guide groove 369 for discharge. Moreover, the second pipe installation hole 368 communicated with the inner water guide groove 369 is located on the lower side of the first pipe installation hole 366, which is convenient for guiding the condensed water.
In addition, the bottom of each first pipe installation hole 366 is provided with the inner water guide groove 369, and the inner water guide groove 369 communicates with the two adjacent first pipe installation holes 366, and one of the first pipe installation holes 366 located at a position is communicated with another adjacent second pipe installation hole 368 located at a lower position through the inner water guide groove 369. That is, two adjacent first pipe installation holes 366 can be communicated through one inner water guide groove 369, and another second pipe installation hole 368 can be communicated through another inner water guide groove 369, which is convenient to lead out the condensed water in the two adjacent first pipe installation holes 366.
Besides, in this embodiment, the indoor heat exchanger 300 may include a heat exchanger body 310 and a heat exchanger sub-section 320 disposed at the top of the heat exchanger body 310. The shell side plate 362 may include a side plate main plate corresponding to the heat exchanger body 310 and a side plate sub-plate corresponding to the heat exchanger sub-section 320. Moreover, the inner surface of the side plate sub-plate 362 is provided with an inner water guide groove 369, and the inner water guide groove 369 communicates with the bottom of the first pipe installation hole 366 on the side plate sub-plate 362. That is, in this embodiment, the inner water guide groove 369 is only provided at the bottom of the first pipe installation hole 366 on the side plate portion of the shell corresponding to the heat exchanger sub-section 320 at the top of the indoor heat exchanger 300, to export the condensed water on the top shell side plate 362. Because the top heat exchanger sub-section 320 and the side plate sub-plate 362 are closest to the edge of the indoor water pan 100, the condensed water is more likely to fall out of the chassis, which is more necessary to guide the condensed water on the heat exchanger sub-section 320 and the side plate sub-plate 362. Moreover, in this embodiment, the heat exchanger body 310 can be inclined to be installed at the inclined support frame 200. Also, the heat exchanger sub-section 320 may be vertically disposed on the top of the heat exchanger body 310.
In addition, the inner side of the pipe installation ring 370 can be provided with a clamping plate 380, and the clamping plate 380 can be used to fasten the connection pipe 2522. When the connection pipe 2522 is to be inserted into the pipe installation ring 370, the connection pipe 2522 can be further clamped by the clamping plate 380. Further, a side edge of the pipe installation hole 366 may be provided with a clamp groove, and the clamping plate 380 protrudes from the clamp groove. That is, the clamping plate 380 can be set as a cantilever structure, which has good elasticity and can hold the connection pipe 2522 more tightly and reliably.
The above only takes the side plate structure provided at the indoor heat exchanger 300 as an example for description. However, those skilled in the art can refer to the above disclosure and set the side plate structure on the outdoor heat exchanger 38 in the same or similar manner.

When the indoor heat exchanger 1 is used as an evaporator, for example, when the indoor heat exchanger 1 is applied to an air conditioner, condensed water will form on the refrigerant pipe 2524 when the air conditioner is working. Since the refrigerant pipe 2524 is inserted into the matching hole 1211, the condensed water on the refrigerant pipe 2524 will flow to the side plate structure 12, and the condensed water will flow along the side plate structure 12 by gravity. The air conditioner is provided with a water pan 3 to collect the condensed water on the refrigerant pipe 2524 and the side plate structure 12. The water pan 3 is directly below the heat exchanger body 11. However, sometimes limited by the structure of the side plate structure 12 and the structure of the water pan 3, the condensed water on the part where the refrigerant pipe 2524 matches the side plate structure 12 will flow out of the water pan 3 along the side plate structure 12 and drip onto the indoor floor.
A water leakage hole 1221 is formed at the protective protrusion 122. Since the refrigerant pipe 2524 penetrates the matching hole 1211, and the periphery of at least a part of the matching holes 1211 is formed with a protective protrusion 122, the condensed water formed by the part of the refrigerant pipe 2524 that matches the side plate structure 12 can be accumulated in the protective protrusion 122, and the condensed water can flow along the inner wall of the protective protrusion 122 to the water leakage hole 1221. When the liquid level of the condensed water is higher than the water leakage hole 1221, the condensed water will drop directly from the water leakage hole 1221 to the water pan 3 by gravity, and will not flow out of the water pan 3 along the side plate structure 12. Therefore, the condensed water on the refrigerant pipe 2524 is prevented from flowing along the side plate structure 12 to other components of the air conditioner or dripping onto the indoor floor.
The side plate body 121 is formed with a matching hole 1211 for matching the refrigerant pipe 2524 of the indoor heat exchanger 1. The periphery of at least some of the matching holes 1211 is formed with a protective protrusion 122. The protective protrusion 122 can protect the refrigerant pipe 2524, and a water leakage hole 1221 is formed at the protective protrusion 122. When the indoor heat exchanger 1 is used as an evaporator, the condensed water formed at the part of the refrigerant pipe 2524 that matches the side plate structure 12 can flow to the water leakage hole 1221 along the protective protrusion 122, and then drip directly from the water leakage hole 1221 to the water pan 3 of the air conditioner. Therefore, the condensed water formed at the refrigerant pipe 2524 can be prevented from flowing along the side plate structure 12 to other components of the air conditioner or dripping onto the indoor floor, which improves the safety of the whole machine and reduces the inconvenience to users.

In the indoor heat exchanger 1 of the present disclosure, by arranging the side plate structure 12 of the indoor heat exchanger 1, when the indoor heat exchanger 1 is applied to the air conditioner, the condensed water formed at the refrigerant pipe 2524 can directly drip onto the water pan 3 of the air conditioner, thereby preventing the condensed water formed at the refrigerant pipe 2524 from flowing along the side plate structure 12 and dripping into the room.

Therefore, a portion of the connection pipe 2522 is located in the accommodation space 27 formed by the water-blocking connection member 83a, the water-blocking side plate 82a and the water-blocking main plate 81a, which can improve the shielding effect of the water baffle structure 80a on the connection pipe 2522. The accommodation space 27 can prevent the cooling energy generated by one end of the heat exchanger body 11 from diffusing outward, which is beneficial to prevent the casing 37 of the window air conditioner 1000 from generating condensed water, and beneficial to further reduce the hidden danger of safety. The water baffle structure 80a has a simple structure and low production cost.

The inventor also found in the actual research that, in the window air conditioner in the related art, the condensed water on the connection wire is easy to flow to the chassis, and there is noise. Especially for window air conditioners with the hollow part in the chassis, the condensed water on the connection wire may also flow directly to the ground on the indoor side of the window air conditioner through the hollow part on the chassis, which greatly reduces the user experience. However, according to the heat exchanger assembly 1000a of the window air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water baffle structure 80a shields the connection pipe 2522 to isolate the connection pipe 2522 from the connection wire, so that the condensed water on the heat exchanger 1 can be prevented from flowing to the connection wire, to prevent the connection wires from being corroded by condensed water, at the same time, the condensed water on the water baffle structure 80a can flow to the indoor water pan 60 along the deflector 25, such that the condensed water can be prevented from dripping onto the chassis or the ground on the indoor side of the window air conditioner, which is beneficial to reduce potential safety hazards, reduce noise, and further improve user experience.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the water baffle structure 80a is a transparent member. For example, the water baffle structure 80a is made of a transparent plastic material. Therefore, the working condition of the connection pipe 2522 of the heat exchanger 1 can be seen without removing the water baffle structure 80a, which is beneficial to reduce the maintenance cost of the heat exchanger assembly 1000a.
It can be understood that, with reference to the above description, the above-mentioned water baffle structure 80a can also be applied to an outdoor heat exchanger, which will not be repeated herein.
