DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] In related art, the indoor unit of an air conditioner can be connected to refrigerant pipes, drain pipes, fresh air ducts, and other pipes. A pipe routing space is formed on the rear side of the indoor unit base to accommodate these pipes. However, in these related art installations, when the indoor unit is mounted on a wall, the pipes may be squeezed and deformed, or even lifted up by the wall, preventing the indoor unit base from properly fitting against the wall.
[0043] The designers of this application discovered during research that pipe extrusion and deformation occur due to insufficient pipe routing space, which in turn is caused by design limitations on the overall thickness (front-to-back direction) of the indoor unit or by design limitations on the air duct curve. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioner base assembly and air conditioner that increase the routing space, thereby preventing pipe extrusion and deformation and ensuring optimal indoor unit installation.
[0044] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, when words indicating directions are mentioned, such as "front," "back," "upper," "lower," "upper side," "lower side," "upper end," "lower end," "front side," "rear side," etc., these are directions when the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in a conventional placement state, a normal installation state, or a normal use state. For easier understanding, the accompanying drawings may also be used.
[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner base assembly 101, which is applied to an air conditioner (not shown), wherein the air conditioner can be a wall-mounted air conditioner. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit 10, which includes an air conditioner base assembly 101, a wall-mounted plate 102, a pipe 103, and a middle frame 104. The wall-mounted plate 102 is used to be fixed to a wall surface via fasteners, and the air conditioner base assembly 101 can be hung on the wall-mounted plate 102, thereby installing the indoor unit 10 on the wall surface. The middle frame 104 is connected to the air conditioner base assembly 101. A pipe running space 300 is provided on the air conditioner base assembly 101, and the pipe 103 is disposed within the pipe running space 300. Depending on its function, the pipe 103 can be a refrigerant pipe, a drain pipe, a fresh air duct, etc. The air conditioner base assembly 101 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can increase the pipe running space 300, thereby preventing the pipe 103 from being squeezed and deformed, and ensuring the installation effect of the indoor unit 10.
[0047] See also Figure 2 The air conditioner base assembly 101 includes a base body 100 and a thermal insulation foam 200 , wherein the base body 100 can be an integrally formed structure. The thermal insulation foam 200 is connected to the base body 100 .
[0048] See also Figure 3The base body 100 may include a back shell 110, a hanging plate support beam 120, and an air duct rear shell 130. Optionally, the back shell 110, the hanging plate support beam 120, and the air duct rear shell 130 are integrally formed. The hanging plate support beam 120 is provided on the back shell 110 for hanging on the wall-mounted plate 102. In this embodiment, the upper end of the hanging plate support beam 120 is connected to the upper side of the back shell 110. The air duct rear shell 130 is connected to the back shell 110, and the front side of the air duct rear shell 130 is used to form an air duct 131. The air duct rear shell 130 transitions in an arc shape from top to bottom to form a duct space 300. It can be understood that the longitudinal section of the air duct rear shell 130 is roughly arc-shaped, extending from top to bottom to make the duct space 300 larger.
[0049] In addition, in this embodiment, the front side of the thermal insulation foam 200 is connected to the rear side of the air duct rear shell 130. The rear side of the thermal insulation foam 200 can be used to form a pipe running space 300, which is used to accommodate the air conditioner pipe 103. Optionally, the thermal insulation foam 200 is bonded to the rear side of the air duct rear shell 130.
[0050] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the thermal insulation foam 200 may be eliminated, and the rear side of the air duct rear shell 130 may be used to form the pipe running space 300 .
[0051] To effectively increase the duct space 300, the ratio of the thickness of the duct rear shell 130 to the thickness of the cladding support beam 120 is 0.6-0.75. The thickness of the duct rear shell 130 is represented by A, the thickness of the cladding support beam 120 is represented by T, and the ratio of the thickness of the duct rear shell 130 to the thickness of the cladding support beam 120 can be represented by a, where a = A / T. Optionally, the ratio a can be 0.6, 0.61, 0.63, 0.65, 0.675, 0.69, 0.7, 0.72, 0.74, or 0.75.
[0052] By optimizing the ratio of the thickness of the duct rear shell 130 to the thickness of the panel support beam 120, the thickness of the duct rear shell 130 can be reduced while ensuring the stability of the panel support beam 120 when hung on the wall panel 102. Given a certain thickness of the thermal insulation foam 200, the distance between the duct rear shell 130 and the wall can be increased, thereby increasing the pipe routing space 300, thereby preventing compression and deformation of the pipe 103 and ensuring that the base body 100 fits the wall. Furthermore, the reduced thickness of the duct rear shell 130 can reduce the weight of the air conditioner, ensuring a secure installation, reducing costs, and improving product competitiveness.
[0053] It should be noted that the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is the basic thickness to ensure the load-bearing effect of the hanging plate support beam 120 and the wall hanging plate 102. In order to ensure the load-bearing effect of the hanging plate support beam 120 and the wall hanging plate 102, on the basis of a certain thickness value of the hanging plate support beam 120, since the ratio a is small, the thickness of the air duct rear shell 130 can be reduced, thereby increasing the pipe space 300.
[0054] In order to ensure the load-bearing effect of the hanging plate support beam 120 in cooperation with the wall hanging plate 102, and to effectively increase the pipe running space 300, in this embodiment, the thickness range of the hanging plate support beam 120 is 2.4-2.9 mm. It should be noted that the hanging plate support beam 120 is roughly plate-shaped, and its thickness refers to the distance between the hanging plate support beam 120 relative to the two plate surfaces. In addition, if the hanging plate support beam 120 has a uniform wall thickness, the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can be considered as the thickness of any longitudinal section. If the wall thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is not equal, the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can be considered as the maximum thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120, then the thickness range of the hanging plate support beam 120 is 2.4-2.9 mm, which means that the maximum thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is in the range of 2.4-2.9 mm.
[0055] Optionally, the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can further be 2.4 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.7 mm, 2.8 mm, or 2.9 mm. By designing the thickness range of the hanging plate support beam 120, the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is not too small to ensure the load-bearing effect of the hanging plate support beam 120 when hanging on the wall hanging plate 102, and the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is not too large to affect the thickness of the air duct rear shell 130. Therefore, the thickness of the air duct rear shell 130 can be reduced and the duct running space 300 can be increased.
[0056] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the hanging panel support beam 120 has a first end 121 and a second end 122 that are oppositely disposed. The first end 121 is connected to the back shell 110, and the second end 122 is tilted downward and away from the back shell 110. In this way, the angle between the hanging panel support beam 120 and the back shell 110 is acute, so that the hanging panel support beam 120 can be hung on the wall hanging panel 102.
[0057] In addition, to improve the load-bearing effect of the hanging plate support beam 120 when hung on the wall hanging plate 102, the thickness of the end of the hanging plate support beam 120 connected to the back shell 110 can be increased. In this embodiment, the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 gradually decreases from the first end 121 to the second end 122, and the thickness of the first end 121 ranges from 2.4 to 2.9 mm. It should be understood that the first end 121 is the thickest part of the hanging plate support beam 120, thereby ensuring the load-bearing effect of the hanging plate support beam 120. The thickness of the first end 121 can further be 2.4 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.7 mm, 2.8 mm, or 2.9 mm.
[0058] To further reduce the weight and cost of the air conditioner while ensuring structural strength, in this embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the back shell 110 to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can optionally be 0.6-0.75. The thickness of the back shell 110 can be represented by B, and the ratio of the thickness of the back shell 110 to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can be represented by b, where the ratio b = B / T. Optionally, the ratio b can further be 0.6, 0.61, 0.65, 0.675, 0.69, 0.7, 0.71, 0.74, or 0.75. In this embodiment, the thickness of the back shell 110 can be 1.8 mm.
[0059] On the basis of a certain thickness value of the hanging plate support beam 120, since the ratio b is in the range of 0.6-0.75, it can not only ensure the structural strength and the ratio b is small, but also reduce the thickness of the back shell 110 and the weight of the base body 100, thereby reducing the weight of the indoor unit 10, improving the installation fixity of the indoor unit 10, and reducing the cost of the air conditioner.
[0060] To enhance structural strength, the back shell 110 may include a first back shell 111, a second back shell 112, and a third back shell 113, connected sequentially from top to bottom. The upper side of the first back shell 111 is connected to the cladding support beam 120, the second back shell 112 is tilted toward the rear relative to the first back shell 111, and the lower side of the third back shell 113 is connected to the air duct rear shell 130. It should be noted that the first back shell 111 and the third back shell 113 are both vertically arranged, with the third back shell 113 being located closer to the rear relative to the first back shell 111.
[0061] The ratio of the thickness of at least one of the first back shell 111, the second back shell 112 and the third back shell 113 to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can be 0.6-0.75. In this way, the structural strength can be ensured while the weight of the indoor unit 10 can be reduced.
[0062] Optionally, in this embodiment, the thicknesses of the first back shell 111, the second back shell 112, and the third back shell 113 are equal, and the ratio of their thicknesses to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is 0.6-0.75. This further reduces the weight of the indoor unit 10 while ensuring structural strength. Optionally, the thicknesses of the first back shell 111, the second back shell 112, and the third back shell 113 are all 1.8 mm.
[0063] Please continue reading Figure 2 In addition, due to the reduced thickness of the back shell 110, in order to further improve the structural strength, in this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 114 is provided on the rear side of the back shell 110. Optionally, the reinforcing rib 114 is provided vertically and can extend from the upper side of the first back shell 111 to the lower side of the third back shell 113, thereby reinforcing the first back shell 111, the second back shell 112, and the third back shell 113.
[0064] Optionally, the ratio of the thickness of the reinforcing rib 114 to the thickness of the back shell 110 is 0.6-1. Furthermore, the ratio of the thickness of the reinforcing rib 114 to the thickness of the back shell 110 can be 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, or 1. By setting the ratio of the thickness of the reinforcing rib 114 to the thickness of the back shell 110, the strength of the back shell 110 can be effectively improved. Optionally, the thickness of the reinforcing rib 114 can be increased accordingly when the thickness of the back shell 110 is smaller, thereby further improving the strength of the back shell 110 when the thickness of the back shell 110 is reduced.
[0065] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the base body 100 may also include a rear water channel 140. The air duct rear shell 130 is connected to the back shell 110 through the rear water channel 140, and the rear water channel 140 is used to receive the condensed water on the rear side of the evaporator of the air conditioner. The rear water channel 140 is in the shape of a long groove, and has a first condensed water inlet 141. The first condensed water inlet 141 is used for the condensed water on the rear side of the evaporator to flow in. The rear water channel 140 includes a rear water channel bottom wall 142 and a rear water channel side wall 143, wherein the front side of the rear water channel bottom wall 142 is connected to the air duct rear shell 130, and the rear side of the rear water channel bottom wall 142 is connected to the rear water channel side wall 143. The rear water channel bottom wall 142 is arranged opposite to the first condensed water inlet 141. The rear water channel side wall 143 is connected to the lower side of the third back shell 113 and is arranged opposite to the air duct rear shell 130.
[0066] In this embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the rear water channel bottom wall 142 to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is 0.75-0.92. The thickness of the rear water channel bottom wall 142 can be represented by C, and the ratio of the thickness of the rear water channel bottom wall 142 to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can be represented by c, then the ratio c=C / T. Optionally, the ratio c can further be 0.75, 0.76, 0.78, 0.8, 0.83, 0.85, 0.87, 0.9, 0.91 or 0.92. In this embodiment, the thickness of the rear water channel bottom wall 142 can optionally be 2.2 mm. By designing the ratio of the thickness of the rear water channel bottom wall 142 to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120, the rear water channel 140 can be effectively prevented from deformation and rupture, thereby avoiding water leakage in the rear water channel 140.
[0067] Please continue reading Figure 3 Furthermore, to further increase the duct space 300, in this embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the thermal insulation foam 200 to the thickness of the air duct rear shell 130 is 3-4. The thickness of the thermal insulation foam 200 can be represented by D, and the ratio of the thickness of the thermal insulation foam 200 to the thickness of the air duct rear shell 130 can be represented by d, where the ratio d = D / A. Alternatively, the ratio d can be 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, or 4.
[0068] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The base body 100 may further include an air outlet lower side wall 150, an air outlet upper side wall 160, and an air duct end plate 170. There are two air duct end plates 170, and the two ends of the air duct rear shell 130 are respectively connected to the two air duct end plates 170. The air duct rear shell 130 and the two air duct end plates 170 are both used to form the air duct 131. The air outlet lower side wall 150 is connected to the lower side of the air duct rear shell 130, and the two ends of the air outlet lower side wall 150 are respectively connected to the two air duct end plates 170. The two ends of the air outlet upper side wall 160 are respectively connected to the two air duct end plates 170. The air outlet upper side wall 160 and the air outlet lower side wall 150 together form an air outlet 151, which is connected to the air duct 131 for discharging air into the room. In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower side of the thermal insulation foam 200 may be connected to the rear side of the air outlet lower side wall 150.
[0069] Please continue reading Figure 3In this embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the lower side wall 150 of the air outlet to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is 0.67-0.83. The thickness of the lower side wall 150 of the air outlet can be represented by E, and the ratio of the thickness of the lower side wall 150 of the air outlet to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can be represented by e, then the ratio e=E / T. Optionally, the ratio e can further be 0.67, 0.69, 0.71, 0.73, 0.75, 0.77, 0.79, 0.81 or 0.83. Optionally in this embodiment, the thickness of the lower side wall 150 of the air outlet can be 2mm. By designing the ratio of the thickness of the lower side wall 150 of the air outlet to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120, the problem of heat deformation of the lower side wall 150 of the air outlet during heating can be effectively improved, and the thickness of the lower side wall 150 of the air outlet is reduced, which can further increase the pipe space 300.

Optionally in this embodiment, the thickness of the upper side wall 160 of the air outlet can be 2.4 mm. By designing the ratio of the thickness of the upper side wall 160 of the air outlet to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120, the problem of heat deformation of the upper side wall 160 of the air outlet during heating can be effectively improved.
[0071] See also Figure 3 and Figure 8 In addition, in this embodiment, the base body 100 may further include a front water channel 180. The front water channel 180 is connected to the upper side of the air outlet upper side wall 160, and the two ends of the front water channel 180 are respectively connected to the two air duct end plates 170. The front water channel 180 is used to receive condensed water from the front side of the air conditioner evaporator. The front water channel 180 is in the shape of an elongated groove and has a second condensed water inlet 181. The second condensed water inlet 181 is used to allow condensed water from the front side of the evaporator to flow in.
[0072] The front water channel 180 may include a front water channel bottom wall 182, a first front water channel side wall 183, and a second front water channel side wall 184. The front water channel bottom wall 182 is connected to the air outlet upper side wall 160. One side of the front water channel bottom wall 182 is connected to the first front water channel side wall 183, and the other side is connected to the second front water channel side wall 184. The first front water channel side wall 183 and the second front water channel side wall 184 are disposed opposite each other, and the front water channel bottom wall 182 is disposed opposite the second condensate inlet 181.
[0073] In this embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the bottom wall 182 of the front water channel to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 is 0.8-1. The thickness of the bottom wall 182 of the front water channel can be represented by G, and the ratio of the thickness of the bottom wall 182 of the front water channel to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120 can be represented by g, then the ratio g=G / T. Optionally, the ratio g can further be 0.8, 0.82, 0.84, 0.86, 0.88, 0.9, 0.92, 0.94, 0.96, 0.98 or 1. Optionally, in this embodiment, the thickness of the bottom wall 182 of the front water channel is 2.4 mm. By designing the ratio of the thickness of the bottom wall 182 of the front water channel to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120, the deformation and rupture of the front water channel 180 can be effectively prevented, so as to avoid water leakage in the front water channel 180.
[0074] In summary, the air conditioner base assembly 101 and air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present invention optimize the ratio of the thickness of the air duct rear shell 130 to the thickness of the hanging plate support beam 120. While ensuring the stability of the hanging plate support beam 120 when hung on the wall hanging plate 102, the thickness of the air duct rear shell 130 can be reduced, thereby increasing the distance between the air duct rear shell 130 and the wall, increasing the pipe running space 300, thereby preventing the pipe 103 from being squeezed and deformed, and ensuring that the base body 100 fits the wall. Furthermore, since the thickness of the air duct rear shell 130 can be reduced, the weight of the air conditioner can be reduced, ensuring installation efficiency, reducing costs, and improving product competitiveness.

Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope defined by the claims.
