[0030] This embodiment provides a housing assembly, which is applied to an air conditioner, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a shell 100, the top plate 110 of the shell 100 is provided with a return air outlet 111 and a mounting structure 200 for mounting a motor 600, the mounting structure 200 includes at least one vertical mounting portion, and one of the vertical mounting portions serves as a reinforced mounting portion; the side plates of the shell 100 are connected with support ribs 300, and the support ribs 300 include, from bottom to top, a support portion 310 connected to and located below the mounting structure 200 and an extension portion 320 extending upward as a reinforced mounting portion.

[0031] In the shell assembly provided in this embodiment, the shell 100 forms an air duct inside and serves as a mounting base for various components. The top plate 110 of the shell 100 is provided with a return air port 111 for air intake and a mounting structure 200 for mounting the motor 600, wherein the mounting structure 200 includes at least one vertical mounting portion such as a plate body, a boss, an arm body, etc. extending in a vertical direction; a support rib 300 is provided in the shell 100, and the support rib 300 includes an upper and lower part, wherein the part supported between the side plate of the shell 100 and the mounting structure 200 is a support part 310, and the part integrally connected to the top of the support part 310 and serving as one of the vertical mounting parts in the mounting structure 200 is an extension part 320, then the support part 310 can serve as a reinforcing rib to improve the strength and stability of the shell 100 itself and the mounting structure 200 arranged on the shell 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the shell 100 and the mounting structure 200 thereon , the mounting structure 200 carries the motor 600 with firmness and stability, thereby ensuring the driving operation of the motor 600 to the driven component and the normal operation of the air conditioner; at the same time, the extension portion 320 and the support portion 310 are formed as one body and serve as one of the vertical mounting portions of the mounting structure 200, so the connection firmness and strength between the extension portion 320 and the support portion 310 are relatively high, and the extension portion 320 is connected to other parts of the mounting structure 200, thereby effectively improving the strength and stability of the entire mounting structure 200, thereby further improving the firmness and stability of the mounting structure 200 carrying the motor 600, thereby ensuring the stable driving of the motor 600 to the driven component; in addition, the extension portion 320 serves as a part of the support rib 300 and the mounting structure 200 at the same time, with a simple structure and strong functionality, thereby improving the structural simplicity of the shell assembly and reducing its processing cost on the basis of ensuring the overall strength and stability of the shell assembly.

[0032] Optionally, in this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the top plate 110 is also provided with a receiving groove 400 for accommodating the filter roll, and the mounting structure 200 and the receiving groove 400 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the shell 100; along the width direction, the support portion 310 includes a first support area 311 and a second support area 312, the top end of the first support area 311 is correspondingly connected to the extension portion 320, and the side away from the second support area 312 is connected to the side plate, and the top end of the second support area 312 is connected to the bottom end surface of the receiving groove 400. Here is the arrangement form of the shell 100 and the support ribs 300 when the motor 600 is specifically used to drive the filter roll, wherein the accommodating groove 400 is used to accommodate the filter roll to improve the stability of the filter roll rotationally connected to the top plate 110, and reduce the height of the filter roll protruding upward from the top plate 110, thereby correspondingly reducing the overall height of the shell assembly; in addition, a support portion 310 is provided along the width direction of the shell 100 to include a first support area 311 and a second support area 312, wherein the first support area 311 is integrally formed at the lower end of the extension portion 320, and is supported at the angle formed by the side plate of the shell 100 and the mounting structure 200, so as to improve the strength and stability of the area near the mounting structure 200; the second support area 312 and the first support area 312 are connected to the first support area 311 and the second support area 312. As different areas of the same plate body, a support area 311 has high connection firmness and stability, and the top of the second support part 310 supports and strengthens the bottom end surface of the accommodating groove 400, thereby improving the strength of the accommodating groove 400 and the stability of the filter roll it carries, thereby ensuring the coordinated operation of the motor 600 and the filter roll, and further improving the overall strength and stability of the shell assembly, ensuring the position accuracy of the components connected to the shell 100, the coordination with other components, and the normal operation of the air duct components installed inside the shell 100, and reducing the deformation and depression of the shell 100 that causes the position change of the components connected thereto, or the squeezing of the evaporator 500, etc., which causes the air conditioner to fail to operate normally.

[0033] In this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the return air port 111 and the receiving groove 400 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the shell 100, and the top of the second support area 312 is connected to the bottom end of the groove side plate adjacent to the receiving groove 400 and the return air port 111. The groove side plate adjacent to the receiving groove 400 and the return air port 111 not only serves as the groove side plate of the receiving groove 400, but also serves as the frame of the return air port 111. The second support area 312 is supported on the bottom end surface of the groove side plate. On the basis of achieving support and reinforcement for the receiving groove 400, it can also simultaneously play a role in supporting and strengthening the frame of the return air port 111, so that the support and reinforcement of the two processing areas of the top plate 110 can be achieved simultaneously through a single support area. The structure is simple and the functionality is strong. On the basis of ensuring the overall strength and stability of the shell 100, the structural simplicity of the shell assembly is further improved and its processing cost is reduced.

[0034] Optionally, in this embodiment, if Figure 5As shown, the support rib 300 corresponds to the branch pipe joint 520 of the evaporator 500. The length direction of the evaporator 500 is consistent with the length direction of the shell 100, and the branch pipe 530 of the evaporator 500 is connected to the branch pipe joint 520 at one end of the length direction of its heat exchange plate 510. The support portion 310 of the support rib 300 divides the internal space of the shell 100 into two cavities arranged along the length direction, wherein the heat exchange plate 510 of the evaporator 500 is located in one of the cavities, and the branch pipe 530 of the evaporator 500 and the control box are located in the other cavity, so as to reduce the immersion damage to the control box caused by the splashing of condensed water formed in the cavity where the heat exchange plate 510 is located, thereby ensuring the service life and safety of the control box.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the outer periphery of the support portion 310 includes a top edge 313, a side edge 314 connected to the side plate, and an oblique edge 315 connected between the top edge 313 and the side edge 314, and the oblique edge 315 is parallel to the plate surface of the corresponding heat exchange plate 510 of the evaporator 500 and is arranged at intervals. This is one of the specific shapes of the support portion 310, wherein the support portion 310 is connected and supported between the corresponding side plate and the top plate 110 of the housing 100 through its top edge 313 and side edge 314, and the top edge 313 is specifically used to support the extension portion 320 and the accommodating groove 400, thereby improving the strength of the corner of the side plate and the top plate 110 and the strength of the mounting structure 200 and the accommodating groove 400, and correspondingly ensuring their orientation and shape, thereby ensuring the bearing stability of the mounting structure 200 on the motor 600 and the bearing stability of the accommodating groove 400 on the filter roll, and ensuring the coordinated operation of the motor 600 and the filter roll. At the same time, a heat dissipation gap 700 is formed between the oblique edge 315 of the support portion 310 and the plate surface of the heat exchange plate 510 corresponding to the evaporator 500. When the air conditioner is in cooling operation, part of the normal temperature airflow entering through the return air port 111 and the cold airflow after heat exchange with the heat exchange plate 510 can flow into the cavity where the control box is located through the heat dissipation gap 700, thereby performing convection heat exchange on the control box, correspondingly improving the heat dissipation effect on the control box during the operation of the air conditioner, and thus ensuring the normal operation of the control box. Specifically, the side edge 314 of the support rib 300 can be connected to the front side plate 120 or the rear side plate of the housing 100, and accordingly, the side edge 314 and the front heat exchange surface of the front plate body of the heat exchange plate 510 or the rear heat exchange surface of the rear plate body are arranged in parallel and spaced to form a heat dissipation gap 700.

[0036] In this embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the mounting structure 200 may include a connecting ear 210 for connecting the ear plate 630 of the motor 600, and at least a partial connecting area of ​​the connecting ear 210 serves as a reinforcing mounting portion. The extension portion 320 serves as a partial connecting area of ​​the connecting ear 210 or the entire connecting ear 210, and the extension portion 320 and the supporting portion 310 are integrated into a supporting rib 300, so that the single supporting rib 300 can simultaneously achieve the supporting stability of the connection position between the side plate of the housing 100 and the top plate 110, and the connecting ear 210 is used to fix the motor 600 and can ensure the fixing stability of the motor 600, with a simple structure and strong functionality.

[0037] Similarly, the mounting structure 200 may also include a limiting groove 220 for accommodating the wiring protrusion 620 in the motor 600, and one side groove side plate of the limiting groove 220 serves as a reinforcing mounting portion. Specifically, the limiting groove 220 is concave relative to the top plate 110, and includes four vertical mounting portions, namely, a front groove side plate 221, a rear groove side plate 222, a left groove side plate 223, and a right groove side plate 224. The extension portion 320 may be one of the four, and the extension portion 320 and the support portion 310 are integrated with the support rib 300, so that the single support rib 300 can simultaneously achieve the support stability of the connection orientation between the side plate of the housing 100 and the top plate 110, and serve as a connecting ear 210 for fixing the motor 600 and ensuring the fixing stability of the motor 600, with a simple structure and strong functionality.

[0038] Optionally, in this embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the front side plate 120 of the housing 100 is used as the front groove side plate 221 of the limiting groove 220. On the one hand, when the limiting groove 220 is set, the front side plate 120 of the housing 100 is directly used as the front groove side plate 221, so that the front side plate 120 can be used as the front side plate 120 of the housing 100 and the front groove side plate 221 of the limiting groove 220 at the same time, with a simple structure and strong functionality. Accordingly, the processing convenience of the limiting groove 220 and the housing 100 is higher and the processing cost is lower; on the other hand, a local area of ​​the front side plate 120 is used as the front groove side plate 221 of the limiting groove 220, and the left, right and bottom of the area where the front groove side plate 221 is located are all restricted by the integral connection of the adjacent area of ​​the front side plate 120, and the strength and stability are both high, thereby improving the strength and stability of the limiting groove 220, and correspondingly improving the limiting stability of the limiting groove 220 docking line protrusion 620.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, the motor 600 includes a main body 610, an ear plate 630 connected to the main body 610, and a wiring protrusion 620. The mounting structure 200 can include a connecting ear 210 and a limiting groove 220 at the same time. When installing the motor 600, the wiring protrusion 620 of the motor 600 can be embedded in the limiting groove 220 for preliminary installation and positioning, and then the ear plate 630 of the motor 600 is connected to the connecting ear 210, thereby realizing convenient and stable fixation of the motor 600.

[0040] In this embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the mounting structure 200 may include two connecting ears 210, each of which includes a connecting arm 212 and an ear portion 211 for connecting to the ear plate 630 of the motor 600, wherein the connecting arm 212 is connected between the top plate 110 and the corresponding ear portion 211, and the ear portions 211 of the two connecting ears 210 extend toward each other and a slot 213 for snapping into the main body 610 of the motor 600 is formed therebetween; the connecting arm 212 of one of the connecting ears 210 serves as a reinforced mounting portion. On the one hand, the extension portion 320 of the support rib 300 extends upward as a connecting arm 212 of one of the connecting ears 210, so as to improve the strength and stability of the entire connecting ear 210, and correspondingly improve the fixing stability of the connecting ear 210 to the motor 600; on the other hand, the ear portions 211 of the two connecting ears 210 extend toward each other to form a card slot 213. When the mounting structure 200 includes a limiting slot 220, the limiting slot 220 is located below the card slot 213. When installing the motor 600, the main body 610 of the motor 600 is adjusted to an installation orientation whose width is consistent with the width of the card slot and is inserted into the card slot. , until the wiring protrusion 620 is partially or completely embedded in the limiting groove 220, at this time, the two ear plates 630 of the motor 600 correspond to the two ear parts 211 one by one, and the two are connected. Then, the two connecting ears 210 can not only realize the connection and positioning with the two ear plates 630 of the motor 600, but also serve as a limiting mechanism to pre-position the installation of the motor 600 and limit the main body 610 of the motor 600 after installation, thereby improving the convenience and stability of the installation of the motor 600 on the installation structure 200 through a simple structure, with simple structure, strong functionality and low cost.

[0041] Optionally, in this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, along the extension direction of the ear 211, the top plate 110 and the area corresponding to the ear 211 are provided with a vibration reduction hole 112, and along the thickness direction of the ear 211, the extension area of ​​the vibration reduction hole 112 completely covers the area where the ear plate 630 is located. Along the width direction of the housing 100, the extension length of the vibration reduction hole 112 is not less than the thickness of the ear 211, and the two vibration reduction holes 112 are respectively arranged below the two ears 211, then the motor 600 is connected to the top plate 110 through the connecting ear 210, when the motor 600 is running, the vibration reduction hole 112 can effectively reduce the vibration transmitted from the connecting ear 210 to the top plate 110, thereby improving the stability of the top plate 110 and other components installed thereon, such as the filter roll, and correspondingly improving the stable cooperation between the motor 600 and the filter roll, ensuring the stable operation of the filter assembly formed by the two.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the mounting structure 200 includes a limiting groove 220 for accommodating the wiring protrusion 620 of the motor 600, the limiting groove 220 is located between the two ears 211; along the thickness direction of the ear 211, the extension area of ​​the vibration damping hole 112 completely covers the area where the limiting groove 220 is located. Along the thickness direction of the ear 211, the extension length of the vibration-damping hole 112 is not less than the length of the area where the ear 211 and the limiting groove 220 are located, and the two vibration-damping holes 112 are respectively arranged below the two ears 211 and on both sides of the limiting groove 220. The motor 600 is connected to the top plate 110 through the connecting ear 210 and the limiting groove 220. When the motor 600 is running, the vibration-damping hole 112 can effectively reduce the vibration transmitted to the top plate 110 by the connecting ear 210 and the limiting groove 220, thereby improving the stability of the top plate 110 and other components installed thereon, such as the filter roll, and correspondingly further ensuring the stable cooperation between the motor 600 and the filter roll, and ensuring the stable operation of the filter assembly formed by the two.

[0043] The present embodiment also provides an air conditioner, comprising a motor 600 and the above-mentioned shell assembly, wherein the motor 600 is connected to the mounting structure 200 of the shell assembly. In the air conditioner, the motor 600 is connected to the mounting structure 200 of the shell assembly, wherein the support portion 310 of the support rib 300 in the shell assembly can serve as a reinforcing rib to improve the strength and stability of the shell 100 itself and the mounting structure 200 arranged on the shell 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the shell 100 and the mounting structure 200 thereon, the firmness and stability of the mounting structure 200 carrying the motor 600, and correspondingly ensuring the driving operation of the filter roll waiting for the driving member by the motor 600 and the normal operation of the air conditioner; at the same time, the extension portion 320 of the support rib 300 is formed as one piece with the support portion 310 and serves as one of the mounting structures 200.
