Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0043] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 A heat exchange component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The heat exchange component 100 may be disposed within an air conditioner 200.

[0044] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the heat exchange component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a heat exchanger 10, an electric auxiliary heater 20, and a first mounting bracket 30. The heat exchanger 10 is an evaporator or a condenser; the description will be based on the heat exchanger 10 being configured as an evaporator. The electric auxiliary heater 20 is disposed on the air outlet side of the heat exchanger 10, that is, the electric auxiliary heater 20 is disposed on the air outlet side of the heat exchanger 10. The air outlet side of the heat exchanger 10 is the front side of the heat exchanger 10. The electric auxiliary heater 20 is disposed on the front side of the heat exchanger 10 and is provided with a mounting base 21. The electric auxiliary heater 20 has a mounting base 21 at one end of its length, and further, the lower end of the electric auxiliary heater 20 has a mounting base 21. The first mounting bracket 30 is disposed on the air outlet side of the heat exchanger 10, and the first mounting bracket 30 is used to fix the mounting base 21. The mounting base 21 is mounted on the first mounting bracket 30. The first mounting bracket 30 has a vent 31. The vent 31 passes through the first mounting bracket 30 along the ventilation direction of the heat exchanger 10. Furthermore, multiple vents 31 can be provided.

[0045] When the air conditioner 200 is working, after the gas flows through the heat exchanger 10, the gas can flow through the vent 31 of the first mounting bracket 30 and pass through the first mounting bracket 30. The first mounting bracket 30 does not obstruct the gas flow. Compared with the prior art, the first mounting bracket 30 reduces the wind resistance of the gas, which can improve the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 200. In addition, it can also prevent the gas from forming vortices at the first mounting bracket 30, which can prevent the increase of the working noise of the heat exchange component 100, thereby preventing the increase of the working noise of the air conditioner 200.

[0046] Therefore, by providing a vent 31 on the first mounting bracket 30, the first mounting bracket 30 can be ventilated. Compared with the prior art, the first mounting bracket 30 reduces the wind resistance of the heat exchanger 10 and improves the air output effect of the air conditioner 200.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 ,Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the air vent 31 can be provided with a first flange 32, the first flange 32 can be arranged at the edge of the air vent 31, and the first flange 32 can be arranged to extend towards the air outlet direction of the heat exchanger 10. Further, the first flange 32 can be provided in a plurality, and the plurality of first flanges 32 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the plurality of air vents 31. The first flange 32 has the effect of increasing the structural strength, and such an arrangement can improve the structural strength of the first mounting frame 30, can avoid deformation of the first mounting frame 30, and can also avoid breaking of the first mounting frame 30, thereby increasing the installation reliability of the electric auxiliary heater 20. Moreover, by arranging the first flange 32 at the air vent 31, the first flange 32 can guide the gas when the gas flows through the air vent 31, which can further reduce the wind resistance of the first mounting frame 30, thereby further reducing the wind resistance of the heat exchanger 10, and further improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 200, and further preventing the working noise of the heat exchange component 100 from increasing.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the electric auxiliary heater 20 can be arranged to extend obliquely along the up-down direction of the heat exchange component 100, the up-down direction of the heat exchange component 100 is consistent with the up-down direction of the air conditioner 200, and the mounting seat 21 can be located at the lower end of the electric auxiliary heater 20, that is, the lower end of the electric auxiliary heater 20 is provided with the mounting seat 21, and the mounting seat 21 is mounted to the first mounting frame 30. The heat exchanger 10 can include a side plate 12 and a heat exchange body 11, and the side plate 12 is arranged at the left and right ends of the heat exchange body 11, that is, the left and right ends of the heat exchange body 11 are provided with the side plate 12. The first mounting frame 30 is arranged to extend along the left-right direction of the heat exchange component 100, and the left-right direction of the heat exchange component 100 is consistent with the left-right direction of the air conditioner 200. Further, the left and right ends of the first mounting frame 30 are respectively fixed to the side plate 12 on the corresponding side, that is, the left end of the first mounting frame 30 is fixedly connected to the side plate 12 at the left end of the heat exchange body 11, and the right end of the first mounting frame 30 is fixedly connected to the side plate 12 at the right end of the heat exchange body 11.

[0049] The first mounting frame 30 can be mounted on the side plate 12 by bolts or screws, which can reliably mount the first mounting frame 30 on the heat exchanger 10 and avoid separation of the first mounting frame 30 from the heat exchanger 10. In the prior art, the electric auxiliary heater extends along the left-right direction of the heat exchange component, and the upper end and the lower end of the heat exchanger are not provided with the electric auxiliary heater. When the gas flows through the heat exchanger, the air temperature of the heat exchange component is not uniform, and the heating efficiency of the electric auxiliary heater is reduced. In the present application, the electric auxiliary heater 20 extends along the up-down direction of the heat exchange component 100, so that the upper end and the lower end of the heat exchanger 10 are provided with the electric auxiliary heater 20. After the gas flows through the heat exchanger 10, the electric auxiliary heater 20 can heat the gas more uniformly, so that the air temperature of the heat exchange component 100 is uniform, and the heating efficiency of the electric auxiliary heater 20 is improved.

[0050] Further, the electric auxiliary heater 20 can be a PTC (PTC heater) heater, and a plurality of electric auxiliary heaters 20 can be provided and arranged in the left-right direction of the heat exchange component 100, for example, two electric auxiliary heaters 20 can be provided. After the gas flows through the heat exchanger 10, the plurality of electric auxiliary heaters 20 can heat the gas at the same time, so that the air temperature of the heat exchange component 100 is more uniform, and the heating efficiency of the electric auxiliary heater 20 is further improved.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the first mounting frame 30 can have a water collecting groove 33, and the upper end of the water collecting groove 33 can be open. The mounting seat 21 is supported (directly or indirectly) on the water collecting groove 33. Further, the mounting seat 21 can be directly supported in the water collecting groove 33, or indirectly supported in the water collecting groove 33. The side wall of the water collecting groove 33 can position the mounting seat 21, so that the position of the mounting seat 21 and the electric auxiliary heater 20 is prevented from moving, and the position stability of the electric auxiliary heater 20 is improved.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the water collecting groove 33 can have a drain hole 34, and the drain hole 34 communicates with the water collecting groove 33. The drain hole 34 can be provided with a plurality of drain holes 34, and the plurality of drain holes 34 are arranged at intervals. When the condensed water on the electric auxiliary heater 20 flows downward along the electric auxiliary heater 20, the condensed water flows into the water collecting groove 33, and the condensed water in the water collecting groove 33 is discharged from the water collecting groove 33 through the drain hole 34. The condensed water in the water collecting groove 33 is prevented from overflowing, the condensed water is prevented from flowing to other components in the air conditioner 200, the short circuit of the air conditioner 200 is prevented, and the working safety of the air conditioner 200 is improved.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 The positioning ribs 35 can be arranged in the water collecting groove 33 to limit the mounting seat 21. The positioning ribs 35 and the side wall of the water collecting groove 33 can form a positioning space 396. After the mounting seat 21 is arranged in the water collecting groove 33, part of the structure of the mounting seat 21 is arranged in the positioning space 396. The positioning ribs 35 can limit the mounting seat 21, and the mounting seat 21 can be more firmly arranged in the water collecting groove 33. Further, the number of the positioning ribs 35 can be the same as the number of the mounting seat 21. For example, the number of the positioning ribs 35 and the number of the mounting seat 21 are both two. Two positioning spaces 396 are formed between the two positioning ribs 35 and the side wall of the water collecting groove 33. One mounting seat 21 is arranged in each of the two positioning spaces 396. In this way, the arrangement of the positioning ribs 35 is reasonable, and the mounting stability of the mounting seat 21 can be improved.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 The heat exchange component 100 can further include a water collecting tray 40 arranged below the heat exchanger 10. The water collecting tray 40 can define a water collecting cavity 41. When the condensed water on the heat exchanger 10 flows down along the heat exchanger 10, the condensed water can flow into the water collecting cavity 41 of the water collecting tray 40, so that the condensed water can be prevented from flowing onto the fan component 204 of the air conditioner 200.

[0055] Further, the first mounting rack 30 can further include a water blocking structure 36. The water blocking structure 36 can include a first water blocking part 37 and a second water blocking part 38. The first water blocking part 37 can be arranged to extend along a vertical direction. The vertical direction can refer to the up-down direction of the air conditioner 200. It should be noted that the “vertical direction” described herein is used in a broad sense, which includes the vertical direction, but is not limited to the vertical direction. The vertical direction can also be a vertical direction that is inclined to the vertical direction, but the included angle between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction is smaller than the included angle between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The second water blocking part 38 is arranged below the heat exchanger 10 and extends downwardly and obliquely toward the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 10. The water blocking structure 36 is used to guide the water discharged from the drain hole 34 downwardly and into the water collecting cavity 41 against the air outlet direction of the heat exchanger 10. The second water blocking part 38 extends downwardly and obliquely toward the rear of the heat exchanger 10. When the air conditioner 200 is cooling, the condensed water on the electric auxiliary heater 20 flows along the electric auxiliary heater 20 into the water collecting groove 33. The condensed water in the water collecting groove 33 flows into the water blocking structure 36 through the drain hole 34. The water blocking structure 36 guides the condensed water downwardly and toward the rear of the heat exchanger 10 into the water collecting cavity 41, so that the condensed water can be drained into the water collecting groove 33.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the heat exchange component 100 can further include a water pan 40 arranged below the heat exchanger 10, the water pan 40 can define a water receiving cavity 41, and the drain hole 34 can directly or indirectly drain water into the water pan 40. Further, the first mounting bracket 30 can include a first wire buckle 39 located outside the water receiving groove 33, i.e. the first wire buckle 39 is arranged outside the water receiving groove 33, and the water pan 40 can include a second wire buckle 42 which can be arranged in the water receiving cavity 41, and the water pan 40 can further include a first wire groove 43 which can be arranged on the outer wall of the water receiving cavity 41, the arrangement height of the first wire buckle 39 is higher than the arrangement height of the second wire buckle 42, and the wire outlet of the second wire buckle 42 is lower than the wire inlet of the first wire groove 43. Wherein, the first wire buckle 39, the second wire buckle 42 and the first wire groove 43 are all used for fixing the wire harness of the electric auxiliary heater 20, when the wire harness of the electric auxiliary heater 20 is routed, the wire harness can pass through the first wire buckle 39, the second wire buckle 42 and the first wire groove 43, so that the wire harness of the electric auxiliary heater 20 can be fixed, thereby preventing the wire harness of the electric auxiliary heater 20 from being scratched by other components, avoiding the wire harness connected to the electric auxiliary heater 20 from being scratched off, preventing the wire harness connected to the electric auxiliary heater 20 from being electrified, and ensuring the use safety of the air conditioner 200.

[0057] Further, by making the height of the wire outlet of the second wire buckle 42 lower than the height of the wire inlet of the first wire groove 43, the height difference between the wire outlet of the second wire buckle 42 and the wire inlet of the first wire groove 43 can be formed, after the wire harness of the electric auxiliary heater 20 passes through the second wire buckle 42 and the first wire groove 43, the condensed water in the water receiving cavity 41 can be prevented from flowing out of the water receiving cavity 41 along the wire harness, and the use safety of the air conditioner 200 can be improved. Further, the height difference between the wire outlet of the second wire buckle 42 and the wire inlet of the first wire groove 43 can be set to be greater than or equal to 10mm, and such arrangement can make the height difference between the wire outlet of the second wire buckle 42 and the wire inlet of the first wire groove 43 appropriate, which can effectively prevent the condensed water in the water receiving cavity 41 from flowing out of the water receiving cavity 41 along the wire harness, and further improve the use safety of the air conditioner 200.

The air vent 31 can include a side air vent 394 and a lower air vent 395, the side air vent 394 can be arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting portion 391, and the lower air vent 395 can be arranged on the lower side of the mounting portion 391. The height of the side air vent 394 is higher than the height of the lower air vent 395, and the first wire buckle 39 is arranged on the side of the side air vent 394 away from the mounting portion 391. The side air vent 394 and the lower air vent 395 both penetrate the first mounting frame 30 along the air flow direction of the heat exchanger 10. By arranging the side air vent 394 and the lower air vent 395, the number of air vents 31 can be increased. After the gas flows through the heat exchanger 10, the gas can flow through the first mounting frame 30 from the side air vent 394 and the lower air vent 395 of the first mounting frame 30. The first mounting frame 30 does not block the flow of gas. Compared with the prior art, the air resistance of the first mounting frame 30 to the gas is further reduced, the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 200 can be further improved, and the vortex of the gas at the first mounting frame 30 can be further avoided. The working noise of the heat exchange component 100 can be further prevented from increasing, so that the working noise of the air conditioner 200 can be further prevented from increasing. In addition, the edge of the bottom plate 392 is provided with the water baffle 393. By arranging the water baffle 393, the condensate water in the water collecting groove 33 can be prevented from flowing out at will, and the condensate water can be prevented from overflowing the water collecting groove 33.

[0059] Further, the side air vent 394 and the lower air vent 395 can be arranged as two, the two side air vents 394 and the two lower air vents 395 are arranged in the left-right direction of the first mounting frame 30, the two lower air vents 395 are located between the two side air vents 394, and the side air vent 394, the lower air vent 395, the lower air vent 395, and the side air vent 394 are sequentially arranged in the left-right direction of the first mounting frame 30. After the gas flows through the heat exchanger 10, the gas can flow through the first mounting frame 30 from the side air vent 394 and the lower air vent 395 of the first mounting frame 30. The first mounting frame 30 does not block the flow of gas. Compared with the prior art, the air resistance of the first mounting frame 30 to the gas is further reduced, the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 200 can be further improved, and the vortex of the gas at the first mounting frame 30 can be further avoided. The working noise of the heat exchange component 100 can be further prevented from increasing, so that the working noise of the air conditioner 200 can be further prevented from increasing.
