Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a chassis structure of an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner having the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, in most of the chassis assembly structures of air conditioner outdoor units, the chassis foot is directly fixed to the chassis by spot welding or riveting. The length of the foot is greater than the width of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Due to the existence of the foot, the height of the outdoor unit is raised, which increases the height and width of the air conditioner outdoor unit, increases the cost of packaging materials, and the increase in the size of the outdoor unit also reduces the amount of cabinets, thereby increasing the transportation cost. In addition, the foot head is exposed and unprotected, and there is a hidden danger of being damaged by impact during transportation. In order to solve this problem, it is urgent to develop a chassis foot structure to reduce the height and width of the air conditioner outdoor unit without increasing the installation cost of the air conditioner outdoor unit chassis foot structure, reduce the transportation cost, and protect the foot, so that the foot of the air conditioner is protected during transportation and will not be damaged. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner outdoor unit chassis structure and an air conditioner having the same, so that the height and width of the air conditioner outdoor unit are reduced, the packaging cost is reduced, the loading volume is increased, and the transportation cost is reduced. The base foot assembly is nested in the chassis, and the base foot assembly is protected, so that the base foot assembly will not be damaged during the transportation of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an air conditioner outdoor unit chassis structure, comprising: a chassis, the upper surface of which supports the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the lower surface of which forms a groove;

[0005] The footing assembly comprises a footing head and a footing body; the footing body is hinged to the inner wall of the groove; a slide rail or a slide groove is arranged in the footing body, and the footing head can be slidably arranged on the slide rail or the slide groove of the footing body, so that it can extend out of the bottom surface of the chassis when in use and can be retracted to the bottom surface of the chassis when not in use;

[0006] The depth Ha of the groove is greater than or equal to the thickness Hj of the footing assembly; the width Wa of the groove is greater than or equal to the width Wj of the footing assembly, so that the footing assembly can be flipped into the groove when not in use, and can be flipped to the outside of the groove when in use;

[0007] The hinge point of the base foot assembly on the inner wall of the groove ensures that when the base foot assembly is flipped into the groove, the bottom surface of the base foot assembly is higher than or in the same plane as the bottom surface of the chassis; when the base foot assembly is flipped to the outside of the groove, its upper surface can contact the bottom surface of the chassis, and its lower bottom surface is lower than the bottom surface of the chassis.

[0008] Further optionally, it also includes a hinge, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of the groove, and the other end of which is fixed to the base body.

[0009] Further optionally, the base body adopts a channel steel structure, the slide rails or slide grooves are opened on the two side walls of the channel steel, the bottom surface of the base head can be slidably set in the channel steel body, and a sliding part is formed on each side, which can be slidably set on the slide rails or slide grooves of the base body.

[0010] Further optionally, the thickness of the portion of the footing head extending out of the base plate is smaller than the thickness of the portion of the footing head used for connecting with the footing body.

[0011] Further optionally, there are two footing heads, which are respectively arranged at two ends of the footing body.

[0012] Further optionally, there are two groups of base foot components, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the chassis, and correspondingly, two symmetrical grooves are correspondingly arranged on the chassis.

[0013] The present invention also provides an air conditioner having any of the above-mentioned air conditioner outdoor unit chassis structures.

[0014] Beneficial Effects

[0015] The present invention provides a chassis structure for an air conditioner outdoor unit, comprising: a chassis, the upper surface of which supports the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the lower surface forms a groove; a footing assembly, comprising a footing head and a footing body; wherein a hinge structure is provided between the footing assembly and the chassis, so that the footing assembly can be nested inside the chassis, thereby effectively reducing the height dimension of the outdoor unit chassis. Through the sliding connection between the footing head and the footing body, the footing head can be retracted into the footing, thereby effectively reducing the width dimension of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Through the dual effects of the hinge and the sliding connection, the footing can basically be said to be "hidden". It is thus protected and will not be damaged during transportation.

[0027] The purpose of this application is to provide an air conditioner outdoor unit chassis structure to solve the above-mentioned problems, as shown in the embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] The present embodiment provides an air conditioner having an air conditioner outdoor unit chassis structure, which includes a chassis 1 and a footing assembly 2, wherein the upper surface of the chassis 1 supports the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the lower surface forms a groove 11; the footing assembly 2 includes a footing head 22 and a footing body 21; one end of a hinge 3 is fixed on the footing body 21, and the other end of the hinge 3 is fixed on the inner wall of the groove 11, so that the footing body 21 is hinged to the inner wall of the groove 11; the depth Ha of the groove 11 is greater than or equal to the thickness H of the footing assembly 2 j; the width Wa of the groove 11 is greater than or equal to the width Wj of the base foot assembly 2, so that the base foot assembly 2 can be flipped into the groove 11 when not in use, and can be flipped to the outside of the groove 11 when in use; the hinge point of the base foot assembly 2 on the inner wall of the groove 11 ensures that when the base foot assembly 2 is flipped into the groove 11, the bottom surface of the base foot assembly 2 is higher than or in the same plane as the bottom surface of the chassis 1, and when the base foot assembly 2 is flipped to the outside of the groove 11, its upper surface can be in contact with the bottom surface of the chassis 1, and its lower bottom surface is lower than the bottom surface of the chassis 1.

[0030] A slide rail or slide groove 211 is arranged in the base body 21, and the base head 22 is slidably arranged on the slide rail or slide groove 211 of the base body 21, so that it can extend out of the bottom surface of the chassis 1 when in use, and can be retracted into the bottom surface of the chassis 1 when not in use; preferably, the base body 21 adopts a channel steel structure, and the slide rail or slide groove 211 is opened on the two side walls of the channel steel.

Preferably, the thickness of the part of the footing head 22 extending out of the chassis 1 is less than the thickness of the part of the footing head 22 used to connect with the footing body 21. This structural design facilitates the operation of the footing head 22.

[0032] During installation and use, the foot assembly 2 is turned from the groove 11 to the outside of the groove 11 by a hinge connection and a force is applied to the hinge point of the hinge 3, and the upper surface of the foot assembly 2 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the chassis 1, and the lower bottom surface is lower than the bottom surface of the chassis 1; the foot head 22 is made to slide out of the foot body 21 and extend out of the side of the chassis 1 through the slide grooves 211 on the two side walls of the foot body 21 and the bolts formed on both sides of the foot head 22, so as to fix the structure of the chassis 1; during the transportation of the air conditioner, the foot head 22 is slid back into the foot body 21, and the foot assembly 2 is turned into the groove 11 by a force applied to the hinge point of the hinge 3, and it is ensured that when the foot assembly 2 is turned into the groove 11, its bottom surface is higher than or in the same plane as the bottom surface of the chassis 1, thereby reducing the height and width of the chassis 1, reducing the packaging cost of the air conditioner with the structure in the transportation project, reducing the transportation cost, and preventing the foot assembly 2 from being damaged during the transportation of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0033] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment has an external unit chassis structure, and the base foot assembly and the chassis are connected by a hinge structure, so that the base foot assembly can be nested inside the chassis, thereby effectively reducing the height dimension of the external unit chassis. Through the sliding connection between the base foot head and the base foot body, the base foot head can be retracted into the base foot, thereby effectively reducing the width dimension of the air conditioner external unit. Through the dual effects of the hinge and the sliding connection, the base foot can basically be said to be "hidden". It is thus protected and can be prevented from being damaged during transportation.
