[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present disclosure and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0036] Combine Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pipe packaging structure, including: a connecting pipe 1, which is coiled into a ring state; a lining member 3, on which a placement portion 2 is provided, and the placement portion 2 is configured to place the connecting pipe 1, the connecting pipe 1 is close to the lining member 3, and the lining member 3 limits the connecting pipe 1.

[0037] The pipe packaging structure disclosed in this embodiment solves the problems of low efficiency and poor reliability of pipe packaging for outdoor units in related technologies. After the connecting pipe 1 is coiled into a ring state, the lining member 3 and the placement portion 2 are used to place and limit the connecting pipe 1, and the pipe is fixed on the lining member 1. This is highly efficient and reliable. During the packaging of the outdoor unit, it is only necessary to place the lining member 1 in the packaging box of the outdoor unit, which is convenient and reliable. During the transportation and stacking of the outdoor unit, the pipes are not easy to fall off or get lost, which prevents the loss of accessories and reduces the risk of after-sales complaints. At the same time, the other side of the lining member 3 can be attached to the surface of the outdoor unit to protect the structure of the outdoor unit, especially the fin structure of the condenser, which can achieve multi-functionality, reduce the amount of packaging materials used, and reduce material costs.

[0038] The purpose of the present disclosure and the solution of its technical problems can be further achieved by adopting the following technical measures.

[0039] Preferably, in order to further reduce the possibility of the pipe fitting falling off, the placement portion 2 includes a cantilever portion 2-1 connected to the lining portion 3, and a blocking portion 2-2 is provided at the end of the cantilever portion 2-1. The cantilever portion 2-1 is configured to support the connecting pipe fitting 1, and the blocking portion 2-2 is configured to prevent the connecting pipe fitting 1 from falling off from the cantilever portion 2-1.

[0040] Specifically, the blocking portion 2-2 is L-shaped. When the placement portion 2 is arranged on the lining portion 3, the blocking portion 2-2 and the lining portion 3 form a pipe fixing groove 4 with an opening width smaller than the inner cavity width. The opening width of the pipe fixing groove 4 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting pipe 1. External force is required to squeeze the connecting pipe 1 when it is inserted. The inner cavity width of the pipe fixing groove 4 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the connecting pipe 1. After the connecting pipe 1 is placed on the placement portion 2, the inner circle of the pipe is inserted into the pipe fixing groove 4, which can effectively prevent the connecting pipe 1 from falling off.

[0041] Preferably, when the connecting pipe fitting 1 is coiled into multiple circles, the pipe fitting fixing groove 4 alone is not sufficient to fix the outer ring of the pipe fitting, and overshoot during transportation will cause shaking. A locking arm part 5 is also provided on the lining part 3, and the locking arm part 5 is configured to be pressed onto the connecting pipe fitting 1 to fix the connecting pipe fitting 1 on the lining part 3. The locking arm part 5 spans the pipe body along the radial direction of the coiled pipe. After the two ends are fixed, all the inner and outer rings of the connecting pipe fitting 1 are pressed tightly onto the lining part 1.

[0042] Preferably, considering the structural rationality of the locking arm member 5 , the first end 6 of the locking arm member 5 is configured to be movably connected to the edge of the lining member 3 , and the second end 7 is configured to be movably connected to the placement portion 2 .

[0043] Preferably, the lining member 3 is made of corrugated paper, and the locking arm member 5 is integrally formed with the lining member 3. A virtual cut line is provided at the connection between the locking arm member 5 and the lining member 3. That is, the locking arm member 5 is a part of the lining member 3 and is integrally formed during manufacturing. The first end 6 is provided with a virtual cut line, and the locking arm member 5 can be folded along the virtual cut line so that its second end 7 is turned toward the placement portion 2. The locking arm member 5 is simple to manufacture and does not require secondary processing, which makes it highly practical.

[0044] Preferably, in order to achieve the fixing effect of the locking arm member 5 on the connecting pipe member 1, a first clamping portion 8 is provided on the placement portion 2, and a second clamping portion 9 is provided on the second end 7 of the locking arm member 5. The first clamping portion 8 cooperates with the second clamping portion 9 to fix the end of the locking arm member 5. The first clamping portion 8 can be designed as an umbrella cover shape, and the second clamping portion 9 is designed as a round hole. The clamping type can be locked by pressing the locking arm member 5 downward.

[0045] Combine Figure 4 、 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the locking arm 5 is provided with a pin 10, and the placement portion 2 is provided with a socket 11, so that the locking arm 5 can be inserted into the placement portion 2. In this embodiment, the placement portions 2 can be designed to appear in pairs, and the locking arm 5 is provided with a pin 10 at each end to mate with the adjacent placement portion 2. The locking arm 5 secures the pipe fitting between the adjacent placement portions 2.

[0046] Preferably, the placement portion 2 is made of foam material, and the placement portion 2 is bonded to the lining plate 3. When the lining plate 3 is processed, a pre-installed identification area of ​​the placement portion 2 is reserved, such as an identification wire frame.

[0047] Preferably, the placement portion 2 includes a first placement portion 12, a second placement portion 13, and a third placement portion 14. The third placement portion 14 is arranged near the middle of the lining member 3. The third placement portion 14 is configured to place the connecting pipe 1 with a smaller diameter. The first placement portion 12 and the second placement portion 13 are placed near the edge of the lining member 3. The distances from the first placement portion 12 and the second placement portion 13 to the center of the lining member 3 are equal. The first placement portion 12 and the second placement portion 13 are configured to jointly place the connecting pipe 1 with a larger diameter to improve packaging reliability.

[0048] Preferably, the connecting pipe 1 includes a connecting pipe 1 - 1 and a drain pipe 1 - 2 . The connecting pipe 1 - 1 is placed on the first placement portion 12 and the second placement portion 13 , and the drain pipe 1 - 2 is placed on the third placement portion 14 .

[0049] The air conditioner in the related technology needs to be equipped with two types of pipe fittings, the internal and external unit connecting pipe and the drain pipe. The former has a larger diameter and a longer length, while the latter has a smaller diameter and a shorter length. After coiling, the diameter of the former in the ring state (i.e., the coiling diameter) is larger, while the diameter of the latter in the ring state (i.e., the coiling diameter) is smaller.

[0050] When packaging the pipes, consider placing drain pipe 1-2 in the center of liner 1 and connecting pipe 1-1 near the edge of liner 1, effectively wrapping around the outer circumference of drain pipe 1-2. Since connecting pipe 1-1 has a relatively large coiled diameter, it cannot be properly secured with just one placement section 2. Therefore, two placement sections 2 are designed for open placement and securement, improving packaging reliability.

[0051] Combine Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an outdoor unit packaging structure, including: the above-mentioned pipe packaging structure; an outdoor unit 15, the outdoor unit 15 includes a condenser fin area 16; a lining member 3 is arranged in the condenser fin area 16 to protect the condenser fins.

[0052] In the disclosed outdoor unit packaging structure, the liner member 3 not only serves to package the pipes but also covers the condenser fin area 16 of the outdoor unit, protecting the condenser fins. This improves the packaging efficiency and quality of the pipes while protecting the fin structure of the outdoor unit. This multi-purpose design reduces the cost of packaging materials and minimizes packaging waste.

[0053] Preferably, the outdoor unit 15 includes a chassis 17 and a top cover 18, and the edge of the lining member 3 extends into the chassis 17 and the top cover 18. The chassis 17 and the top cover 18 fix the lining member 3 to the condenser fin area 16. By fixing the lining member 3, the pipe fittings are indirectly fixed so that they are fixedly connected to the outdoor unit body to avoid loss of accessories.

[0054] When using the packaging structure of this embodiment, first install the lining member 1 on the condenser fin 16 of the outdoor unit 15 and ensure that it is fixed by the top cover 18 and the bottom plate 17. Then place the drain pipe 1-2 with a smaller diameter and clamp it into the pipe clamping groove 4 of the third placement portion 14. Place the connecting pipe 1-1 with a larger diameter and clamp it into the pipe clamping groove 4 of the first placement portion 12 and the second placement portion 13. Then fold the locking arm member 5 down to engage the first clamping portion 8 with the second clamping portion 9 to lock the pipe. Finally, the outdoor unit packaging box can be covered as a whole to complete the packaging of the outdoor unit 15.

[0055] An air conditioner adopts the above-mentioned pipe packaging structure, or adopts the above-mentioned outdoor unit packaging structure.

[0056] It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that, under the premise of no conflict, the above-mentioned advantageous methods can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure.
