[0043] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a support structure 100 is provided. Figure 3 As shown, the support structure 100 includes an integrally formed first support 110, a second support 120 and a connecting plate 130. The connecting plate 130 includes a transverse portion 131 and a longitudinal portion 132 arranged in the same plate surface direction. The transverse portion 131 and the longitudinal portion 132 are integrally formed into an "L"-shaped connecting plate 130. The "L"-shaped connecting plate 130 can save space. The transverse portion 131 is bent and connected to the first support 110 to form an integral body, and supports the first support 110. The longitudinal portion 132 is bent and connected to the second support 120 to form an integral body, and supports the second support 120.

[0045] The horizontal portion 131 is bent perpendicularly to the first bracket 110, and the vertical portion 132 is bent perpendicularly to the second bracket 120. The horizontal portion 131 and the vertical portion 132 are coplanar and connected to form an "L" shape and are perpendicular to each other. Thus, the first bracket 110, the second bracket 120 and the connecting plate 130 are perpendicular to each other.

[0046] The first bracket 110 is fixed to the outdoor unit chassis 1 and is used to install and support the gas separator 4 , and the second bracket 120 is used to install and support the stop valve 5 .

[0047] Therefore, the support structure 100 is formed in one piece based on the gas separator and the valve body support, which reduces the number of parts, reduces the production process, and reduces the number of materials.

[0048] The L-shaped connecting plate 130 serves to connect and reinforce the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 .

[0049] The first bracket 110 , the second bracket 120 and the connecting plate 130 are designed to be vertical in pairs, thereby saving space for pipeline design.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first bracket 110 is configured as a gas separator mounting surface 112, and a plurality of gas separator fixing holes 115 are provided at the end of the gas separator mounting surface 112, which are used to fix the gas separator 4 on the gas separator mounting surface 112 through the gas separator fixing holes 115, so as to achieve fixed support for the gas separator 4. At this time, the transverse portion 131 on the connecting plate 130 is located at the lower end of the side of the gas separator mounting surface 112. The connecting plate 130 is fixedly connected to the upper flange of the outdoor unit chassis 1 through the second fixing portion 133 on the transverse portion 131.

[0051] The second bracket 120 is a flat plate structure, on which a liquid valve mounting portion 121 and a gas valve mounting portion 122 are provided. The liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122 are set as U-shaped notches on the second bracket 120, for fixing and mounting the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas pipe stop valve 51. On one side of the second bracket 120, a waist-shaped hole 123 mounting structure is protruded, which is used to fix the bracket structure 100 to the outdoor unit side plate 8 through the waist-shaped hole 123 on the second bracket 120. Figure 4 As shown. The setting of the oval hole 123 can provide more margin for the installation of the bracket structure 100, so that it can adapt to various assembly conditions, and at the same time has fine adjustability, which is conducive to reducing assembly stress and improving the life and reliability of the equipment. The oval hole 123 installation structure and the first bracket 110 together provide stable fixed support for the second bracket 120.

[0052] Thus, the two ends of the integrally formed support structure 100 are respectively fixedly connected to the outdoor unit chassis 1 and the outdoor unit side plate 8 to achieve a stable fixation, and then the gas separator 4 is simultaneously and firmly fixedly assembled with the liquid valve mounting part 121 and the gas valve mounting part 122 through the integrally formed support structure 100, thereby avoiding the vibration of the gas separator 4 from being transmitted to the wind-proof vertical plate 2 to generate noise, saving the number of parts, reducing the processing and manufacturing costs, and improving the production efficiency. In addition, the first support 110, the second support 120 and the connecting plate 130 are arranged vertically in pairs, so that the support structure 100 can be installed and arranged in the smallest space, saving the pipeline design space.

[0053] In some embodiments, the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122 are in the same direction, and the U-shaped notch is set in a direction parallel to the plate surface where the second bracket 120 is located, so that the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas pipe stop valve 51 on the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122 are installed in the same direction, so that during construction operations, the gas pipe and liquid pipe valves can be fixed at the same time, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0054] In some embodiments, a support seat 113 is provided under one end of the gas separator installation surface 112 away from the transverse portion 131, and the support seat 113 is formed by bending downward at one end of the gas separator installation surface 112 away from the transverse portion 131, and the lower end of the support seat 113 is supported and connected by the outdoor unit chassis 1, so that the support seat 113 cooperates with the transverse portion 131 to connect the lower ends of the support structure 100 to the outdoor unit chassis 1, thereby improving the stability of the support structure 100 and the stable support capacity for the gas separator 4. The support seat 113 is formed by bending downward at one end of the gas separator installation surface 112 away from the transverse portion 131, which can reduce the number of parts, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.

[0055] In some embodiments, a support seat 113 is provided under one end of the gas separator installation surface 112 away from the horizontal portion 131, and the support seat 113 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the end of the gas separator installation surface 112 away from the horizontal portion 131. Alternatively, the support seat 113 may be detachably fixedly connected to the lower side of the end of the gas separator installation surface 112 away from the horizontal portion 131, so as to improve the usability of components and avoid the limitation of installation size space.

[0056] In some embodiments, the support base 113 has reinforcing ribs on both sides to improve the support strength of the support base 113. Preferably, the reinforcing ribs are formed by bending both sides of the support base 113, so that the support base 113 is an integrated component, reducing the number of parts, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

[0057] In some embodiments, a first fixing portion 114 is provided at the lower end of the support seat 113, and a mounting hole is provided on the first fixing portion 114, which can be fixedly connected with a corresponding hole screw on the outdoor unit chassis 1. Thus, one end of the support structure 100 is fixedly connected with the upper flange of the outdoor unit chassis 1 through the second fixing portion 133 on the connecting plate 130, and the other end of the support structure 100 is fixedly connected with a corresponding hole screw on the outdoor unit chassis 1 through the mounting hole on the first fixing portion 114, so that the first fixing portion 114 and the second fixing portion 133 cooperate with each other to form a multi-point, multi-faceted, and multi-angle fixed limiting support, so that the support structure 100 is fixedly connected with the outdoor unit chassis 1 in multiple directions and angles, thereby improving the fixing firmness and support stability of the support structure 100.

[0058] The first fixing portion 114 can be in the form of a sheet or a block, depending on the fit clearance.

[0059] The first fixing portion 114 may be welded to the lower end of the support seat 113. When the first fixing portion 114 is sheet-shaped, the first fixing portion 114 may be integrally formed by bending the lower end of the support seat 113, which can reduce the number of parts, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.

[0060] In some embodiments, Figure 5As shown, the gas separator installation surface 112 is connected to the transverse portion 131 through the air avoidance inclined surface 111, and the gas separator installation surface 112, the air avoidance inclined surface 111 and the transverse portion 131 are integrally bent. Figure 6 As shown, the air avoidance slope 111 is provided with a through hole 116, which is used as a tie fixing position and can be used to fix the pipeline system 9, route the line, etc. Therefore, the air avoidance slope 111 is provided with a through hole 116, which is used as a tie fixing position, is conducive to fixing the pipeline and line, and can partially suppress the vibration transmission on the pipeline system 9 and reduce noise.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second fixing portion 133 is configured as a relatively raised structure, and the raised portion has a mounting hole that matches the threaded hole on the upper flange of the outdoor unit chassis 1, so that the connecting plate 130 is fixedly connected to the threaded hole on the upper flange of the outdoor unit chassis 1 through the mounting hole on the second fixing portion 133 using screws. The raised structure of the second fixing portion 133 can keep a certain distance between the support structure 100 and the upper flange of the outdoor unit chassis 1 without being close to each other, thereby providing a line of sight and a matching space for the installation of the support structure 100, and avoiding the support structure 100 and the outdoor unit side plate 8 from being too close to each other and causing position interference. At the same time, the raised structure makes the support structure 100 more flexible, and suppresses the transmission of noise and vibration to the outdoor unit chassis 1.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , 4 As shown, screw holes are respectively provided on both sides of the U-shaped notches of the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122, and the screw holes of the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122 match with the mounting holes on the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas pipe stop valve 51, so that after the connecting parts of the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas pipe stop valve 51 are respectively inserted into the U-shaped notches of the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122, the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas pipe stop valve 51 are respectively fixedly mounted on the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122 by screws.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first boss 124 and the second boss 125 are respectively provided on the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122. The provision of the first boss 124 and the second boss 125 can increase the strength of the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122, and at the same time provide assembly space for the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas pipe stop valve 51, thereby avoiding position interference between the valve body and the second bracket 120 on the bracket structure 100. The first boss 124 and the second boss 125 can increase the contact area between the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122 and the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas pipe stop valve 51, thereby improving the supporting and fixing effect of the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122 on the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas pipe stop valve 51. At the same time, the convex structure of the first boss 124 and the second boss 125 can play the role of reinforcing ribs to improve the strength of the components.

[0064] In some embodiments, the installation positions of the liquid pipe shut-off valve 52 and the gas pipe shut-off valve 51 may be interchanged based on the assembly space layout requirements.

[0065] In some embodiments, a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 134 are evenly distributed on the longitudinal portion 132 of the connecting plate 130. Each second reinforcing rib 134 is disposed in a transversely recessed manner on the plate surface of the longitudinal portion 132, thereby enhancing the stress strength of the plate surface of the longitudinal portion 132.

[0066] In some embodiments, third reinforcing ribs 135 are evenly distributed on the longitudinal portion 132 of the connecting plate 130. Each third reinforcing rib 135 is disposed at the bending connection between the longitudinal portion 132 and the second bracket 120, and is in an inverted triangle concave structure, thereby enhancing the bending resistance of the bending portion.

[0067] Preferably, the second reinforcing ribs 134 and the third reinforcing ribs 135 are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction, so as to take into account the stress-bearing strength of the plate surface of the longitudinal part 132 and the bending resistance at the bending point, and facilitate stress distribution to avoid local stress, thereby strengthening the overall strength of the longitudinal part 132 of the support structure 100, improving the supporting stability and anti-seismic and noise reduction capabilities of the support structure 100, and ensuring that the support structure 100 is not easily damaged when subjected to vibrations of the pipeline system 9 and the gas separator 4.

[0068] In some embodiments, a first reinforcing rib 126 is provided at the lower end of the liquid valve mounting portion 121 and the gas valve mounting portion 122 of the second bracket 120. The first reinforcing rib 126 is configured as a square recessed structure, thereby improving the overall strength of the second bracket 120, improving the supporting stability and anti-vibration and noise reduction capabilities of the bracket structure 100, and ensuring that the bracket structure 100 is not easily damaged when subjected to vibrations of the pipeline system 9 and the gas separator 4.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first reinforcing rib 126 , the second reinforcing rib 134 and the third reinforcing rib 135 are all stamped structures based on the support structure 100 , that is, integrally formed, which further improves the strength and economy of the support structure 100 .

[0070] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner outdoor unit is provided, comprising an outdoor unit chassis 1, a wind-blocking vertical plate 2, a gas-liquid separator 4, a stop valve 5, a compressor 6, an outdoor unit side plate 8, a pipeline system 9 and a support structure 100, wherein the support structure 100 is integrally formed into an "L" shape and is respectively firmly fixedly connected to the outdoor unit chassis 1 and the outdoor unit side plate 8 at multiple points. The stop valve 5 comprises an air pipe stop valve 51 and a liquid pipe stop valve 52, and the support structure 100 simultaneously fixes and installs the air pipe stop valve 51, the liquid pipe stop valve 52 and the gas-liquid separator 4. The support structure 100 is also provided with an air avoidance slope 111 for fixing the pipeline system 9 with a tie, which can partially suppress the vibration transmission on the pipeline system 9 and reduce noise. Therefore, the air-conditioning outdoor unit proposed in this embodiment saves processing and manufacturing costs because the stop valve 5 and the gas-liquid separator 4 are installed on a single component, and the bracket structure 100 is fixedly connected to the outdoor unit chassis 1 and the outdoor unit side panel 8 without contacting the wind-shielding plate 2, thereby avoiding the vibration of the stop valve 5 and the compressor 6 on the gas-liquid separator 4 from being transmitted to the wind-shielding plate 2 through the pipeline system 9, thereby avoiding the noise and vibration of the wind-shielding plate 2. The bracket structure 100 is integrated into an "L" shape to save the assembly space of the internal components of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, so that the air-conditioning outdoor unit proposed in this embodiment is miniaturized and lightweight, which saves manufacturing costs and has low vibration and noise.
