Detailed implementation manners

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides an evaporator bracket, including a bracket body 1. Among them, a guide vane ring mating surface 21 is provided on the bracket body 1, and the shape of the guide vane ring mating surface 21 is consistent with a part of the shape of the guide vane ring 3 so that the guide vane ring mating surface 21 fits on the guide vane ring 3. The evaporator bracket can be arranged inside a vertical air conditioner, and the air conditioner evaporator is supported on the evaporator bracket. The guide vane ring 3 can be a guide vane ring assembled on a centrifugal fan. When the centrifugal fan works, air passes through the evaporator and then flows to the centrifugal fan after being guided by the guide vane ring 3; when assembling the evaporator bracket and the guide vane ring 3, the corresponding regions of the guide vane ring mating surface 21 and the guide vane ring 3 can be made to fit, which has a positioning effect and is convenient for assembly; in addition, since the guide vane ring mating surface 21 fits with the guide vane ring 3, it reduces or even avoids the leakage of cold air passing through the evaporator at the position where the guide vane ring 3 and the guide vane ring mating surface 21 fit, and has a sealing effect to a certain extent; moreover, since the guide vane ring 3 is affected by the cold air passing through it and has a lower surface temperature, condensation will occur on it. However, because the guide vane ring mating surface 21 of the evaporator bracket fits with the corresponding region of the guide vane ring 3, it can reduce or even avoid the generation of condensation in the corresponding region, which is beneficial to electrical safety.

[0026] As an optional implementation manner of an embodiment of the present invention, there is a groove structure 2 on the bracket body 1, and part or all of the groove surfaces of the groove structure 2 form the guide vane ring mating surface 21. Part of the region of the guide vane ring 3 is located inside the groove structure 2 to achieve the fit between the guide vane ring mating surface 21 and the guide vane ring 3. The groove structure 2 has a supporting effect on the guide vane ring 3 to a certain extent.
