[0035] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0036] AsFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 and , the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a top plate 1, an upper pressing plate 2 for installing an evaporator, and a mounting plate 3 for installing an electric control component 5.

[0037] Specifically, the top plate 1 is provided at the top of the housing to cover the open top of the housing. It can be understood that the top plate 1 can be used to cover the open top of the housing, and the top plate 1 can be used to separate the internal space of the air conditioner 100 from the external space, so as to prevent external dust or water from entering the air conditioner 100 through the open opening, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the operation of the air conditioner 100.

[0038] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the upper pressing plate 2 is used to install and fix the evaporator, and the upper pressing plate 2 is provided inside the housing. For example, in an example of the present invention, the upper pressing plate 2 is provided inside the housing, the upper pressing plate 2 and the top plate 1 are stacked up and down, and the upper pressing plate 2 is located below the top plate 1, and the top end of the evaporator is fixed on the upper pressing plate 2.

[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the mounting plate 3 is used to install and fix the electric control component 5, and the mounting plate 3 is provided between the top plate 1 and the upper pressing plate 2 and is connected to the upper pressing plate 2. It can be understood that when installing the electric control component 5, the electric control component 5 can be first installed on the mounting plate 3, and then the mounting plate 3 on which the electric control component 5 is installed can be fixed on the upper pressing plate 2, so that the installation and fixation of the electric control component 5 can be realized outside the air conditioner 100, thereby relieving the restriction of the assembly space, reducing the installation difficulty of the electric control component 5, and improving the assembly efficiency of the electric control component 5. For example, in an example of the present invention, the top plate 1 and the upper pressing plate 2 define an installation space, the mounting plate 3 is provided in the installation space, and the mounting plate 3 is fixed on the upper pressing plate 2.

[0040] It should be noted that the above-mentioned electric control component 5 can be one, two or more. When there are multiple electric control components 5, the types of the multiple electric control components 5 can be the same or different. For example, in an example of the present invention, there are two electric control components 5, and the two electric control components 5 are respectively a voice control module 51 and a speaker module 52.

[0041] For the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing the mounting plate 3, when installing the electric control component 5, the electric control component 5 can be first installed on the mounting plate 3, and then the mounting plate 3 on which the electric control component 5 is installed can be fixed on the upper pressing plate 2, so that the installation and fixation of the electric control component 5 can be realized outside the air conditioner 100, thereby relieving the restriction of the assembly space, reducing the installation difficulty of the electric control component 5, and improving the assembly efficiency of the electric control component 5.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, a first connection hole 36 is provided on the mounting plate 3, and a second connection hole 22 is provided on the upper pressing plate 2. The first connection hole 36 and the second connection hole 22 are connected by a fastener 4. The first connection hole 36 and the second connection hole 22 have the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly. The fastener 4 can be passed through the first connection hole 36 and the second connection hole 22, and the close connection between the mounting plate 3 and the upper pressing plate 2 can be realized by the cooperation of the fastener 4 with the first connection hole 36 and the second connection hole 22. In addition, the cost can be reduced while ensuring the connection strength between the mounting plate 3 and the upper pressing plate 2.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 and Figure 7 shown, there are a plurality of first connection holes 36, and the plurality of first connection holes 36 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the mounting plate 3. There are a plurality of second connection holes 22, and the plurality of second connection holes 22 correspond to the plurality of first connection holes 36 one by one. It can be understood that the first connection holes 36 can be two, three or more spaced apart. The close connection between the mounting plate 3 and the upper pressing plate 2 can be realized in the circumferential direction of the mounting plate 3 by the one-to-one correspondence and cooperation of the plurality of first connection holes 36 and the plurality of second connection holes 22. Thus, the connection strength between the mounting plate 3 and the upper pressing plate 2 can be improved, and the reliability of the connection between the mounting plate 3 and the upper pressing plate 2 can be ensured.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the electronic control element 5 and the mounting plate 3 are connected by a fastener or a snap connection. The fastener connection or the snap connection has the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly. The close connection between the electronic control element 5 and the mounting plate 3 can be realized by the fastener connection or the snap connection. In addition, the cost can be reduced while ensuring the connection strength between the electronic control element 5 and the mounting plate 3. For example, in an example of the present invention, the electronic control element 5 and the mounting plate 3 are connected by screws.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a wire groove 33 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 3 adjacent to the top plate 1. It can be understood that the connecting wires of the electronic control element 5 and the connecting wires adjacent to the mounting plate 3 can be arranged in the wire groove 33. Thus, the regularity of the connecting wire routing can be improved, and the potential safety hazard can be reduced.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a plurality of spaced-apart wire clamps 34 are provided in the wiring trough 33. The wire clamps 34 have the function of fixing and limiting the connection wires, and can prevent the connection wires in the wiring trough 33 from being displaced, thereby further improving the safety and neatness of the wiring. For example, in one example of the present invention, five wire clamps 34 are provided in the wiring trough 33, and the five wire clamps 34 include a single-arm wire clamp and a double-arm wire clamp, wherein the double-arm wire clamp includes two limit plates facing each other, and in the direction from the fixed end to the free end, the two limit plates extend obliquely toward the direction close to each other.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the electric control element 5 includes: a voice control module 51 and a speaker module 52, and the voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 are both mounted on the side of the mounting plate 3 away from the top plate 1. It can be understood that by mounting the voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 on the mounting plate 3, the originally dispersed voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 can be integrated together, so that the integration of the air conditioner 100 is improved. At the same time, it is also convenient for detection and maintenance. In addition, the voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 are both mounted on the side of the mounting plate 3 away from the top plate 1. In other words, the voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 are both mounted on the side of the mounting plate 3 adjacent to the upper pressing plate 2. In this way, the voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 can be separated from the wiring groove 33, so that the connecting wires and the voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 do not interfere with each other.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting plate 3 has a first mounting position 31 and a second mounting position 32, the voice control module 51 is arranged on the first mounting position 31, and the speaker module 52 is arranged on the second mounting position 32, the first mounting position 31 is located at one end of the first direction of the mounting plate 3, and the second mounting position 32 is located at one end of the second direction of the mounting plate 3, and there is an angle between the first direction and the second direction. It can be understood that the voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 are respectively located at one end of the first direction and one end of the second direction of the mounting plate 3, so that the voice control module 51 and the speaker module 52 can be staggered with each other. For example, in one example of the present invention, the first direction is the length direction of the mounting plate 3, and the second direction is the width direction of the mounting plate 3.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the second mounting position 32 is located on the central axis of the first direction of the mounting plate 3, and a sound outlet hole 11 is provided on the top plate 1, and the sound outlet hole 11 is arranged opposite to the sound outlet hole 521 of the speaker module 52. For example, the speaker module 52 is arranged on the central axis of the first direction of the mounting plate 3, and the sound outlet hole 11 is also arranged on the central axis of the first direction of the top plate 1, so that the sound released from the sound outlet hole 521 can be emitted through the sound outlet hole 11 located on the central axis of the first direction of the top plate 1, so that it is more convenient for users to obtain, and it is also more beautiful visually. Specifically, in one example of the present invention, there are multiple sound outlet holes 11, and the multiple sound outlet holes 11 are arranged in multiple rows and columns.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 further includes: a top air outlet component and a driving motor, the top air outlet component is movably arranged at the top of the housing, and a avoidance opening is provided on the top plate 1 so that at least part of the top air outlet component moves to above the top plate 1 through the avoidance opening. It can be understood that the top air outlet component forms a part of the air supply duct, and when the air conditioner 100 needs to supply air from the top to the room, the top air outlet component can be moved so that at least part of the top air outlet component moves to above the top plate 1 through the avoidance opening, and then the top air outlet component moves to the part above the top plate 1 to supply air to the room.

[0051] The drive motor is arranged on the housing, and the drive motor is connected to the air outlet component. The drive motor can realize the automatic movement of the air outlet component, thereby freeing up manpower and improving the convenience of user use. The outer edge of the mounting plate 3 has an avoidance notch 35 for avoiding the drive motor (refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 By providing the avoidance notch 35, interference between the mounting plate 3 and the drive motor can be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the mounting plate 3 and the drive motor. Specifically, in one example of the present invention, the avoidance notch 35 is formed as a recessed space, and the recessed space is formed by the outer edge of the mounting plate being recessed toward the direction close to the speaker module 52.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper pressing plate 2 has a recessed portion 21 for avoiding the driving motor. By providing the recessed portion 21, interference between the upper pressing plate 2 and the driving motor can be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the upper pressing plate 2 and the driving motor. Specifically, in one example of the present invention, the outer edge of the upper pressing plate 2 is recessed in a direction away from the top plate 1.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 further includes a shock-absorbing ring, and at least a part of the shock-absorbing ring is provided at the connection between the electronic control component 5 and the mounting plate 3. Thus, the shock-absorbing ring can be used to reduce the vibration between the electronic control component 5 and the mounting plate 3, reduce noise, and improve the reliability of the connection between the electronic control component 5 and the mounting plate 3.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, one of the electronic control component 5 and the mounting plate 3 is provided with a fixing post and the other is provided with a first fastening hole. The fixing post passes through the first fastening hole, and a second fastening hole is provided on the fixing post. One end of the fastener passes through the second fastening hole to connect the electronic control component 5 and the mounting plate 3, and the shock-absorbing ring is located between the inner peripheral wall of the first fastening hole and the outer peripheral wall of the fixing post. Thus, the reliability and strength of the connection between the electronic control component 5 and the mounting plate 3 can be improved, and at the same time, the connection structure is relatively simple, and the manufacturing and processing difficulty and cost are also relatively low.

[0055] Specifically, in an example of the present invention, the outer peripheral wall of the shock-absorbing ring is provided with a groove, and the groove extends in a circumferential direction of the shock-absorbing ring to form a ring shape. The electronic control component 5 is provided with a first fastening hole, and a part of the electronic control component 5 extends into the groove. Along the axial direction of the first fastening hole, the maximum moving distance of the shock-absorbing ring is d, and the value range of d is 1-1.5 mm.
