Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of air conditioners, and more particularly, to a housing assembly structure and an air conditioner having the same. Background Art

[0002] The indoor unit of the existing floor-standing air conditioner is usually assembled by connecting the front housing and the rear housing to the base respectively. The assembly of the three components in pairs easily causes misalignment between the front housing and the rear housing, or between the rear housing and the base, resulting in gaps, which affects the aesthetics of the product. At the same time, since the side walls of the base, the front housing, and the rear housing are relatively thin, the center of gravity is unbalanced after assembly, and it is easy to tip over. An anti-tipping device needs to be additionally installed on the base. The setting of the anti-tipping device will increase the cost on the one hand, and on the other hand, the space it occupies cannot be reasonably utilized. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the installation of the housing and its internal components, a large number of rib plates need to be provided on the inner surfaces of the front housing and the rear housing, which occupies a large amount of internal space of the air conditioner and affects the installation inside the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem solved by the present invention is that in the prior art, the front housing, the rear housing and the base are assembled separately, which easily results in misalignment and gaps, affecting the aesthetics of the product. At the same time, the center of gravity of the product is unstable after assembly, and an anti-tipping device needs to be additionally installed on the base. The setting of the anti-tipping device will increase the cost on the one hand, and on the other hand, the space it occupies cannot be reasonably utilized.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a housing assembly structure, including a front housing, a rear housing and a base. A support portion is provided at a position near the bottom of the front housing. The rear housing is disposed above the support portion and fixedly connected to the front housing. The bottom of the support portion is covered and installed on the base and fixedly connected to the base. A front housing bottom plate is provided at the bottom of the support portion. A limiting frame is provided on the front housing bottom plate. The base includes a base body, and a limiting platform is provided on the base body. The limiting frame and the limiting platform cooperate for limiting, for limiting during the assembly of the front housing and the base. In addition, an accommodating space is defined between the support portion and the front housing bottom plate, and internal components of the air conditioner can be provided, realizing the reasonable utilization of space.

[0005] With the above settings, during assembly, it is only necessary to connect the rear housing to the front housing and then connect the front housing to the base to complete the assembly of the three components, avoiding the situation where the front housing and the rear housing are respectively assembled with the base, improving the assembly stability of the housing, enhancing the appearance quality of the product. At the same time, the setting of the support portion can form an effective support, playing the role of the anti-tipping device in the prior art and ensuring the safety of the air conditioner. During assembly, the limiting platform extends into the limiting frame to complete the limiting, which can realize the rapid assembly and positioning of the front housing and the base, improving the assembly efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, the front housing further includes two front housing side plates. A first covering portion is provided at the top of the two front housing side plates, and a second covering portion is provided at the top of the rear housing. When the front housing is fixedly connected to the rear housing, the first covering portion and the second covering portion form the top cover of the housing.

[0007] Generally, after the rear housing and the front housing are assembled, it is usually necessary to additionally install a top cover structure, resulting in a large number of assembly components and cumbersome steps for the housing. The separate assembly of the top cover with the front housing and the rear housing is also prone to the phenomenon of incomplete assembly, affecting the appearance quality of the product. The setting of the first covering portion and the second covering portion enables the assembled housing not to require an additional top cover structure, simplifies the assembly components and steps, improves the assembly efficiency, and enhances the assembly quality.

[0008] Furthermore, the top cover formed by the first covering portion and the second covering portion is arranged in an inclined structure.

[0009] Some users are accustomed to placing items such as flower pots on the top of the air conditioner. On the one hand, it causes the top cover of the air conditioner to be under long-term pressure, affecting its service life. On the other hand, it is easy to spill water onto the top of the air conditioner during watering. The above situations are all likely to cause accidental damage to the air conditioner. The inclined setting of the top cover can effectively prevent users from placing sundries on the top of the air conditioner, avoid accidental damage to the air conditioner, and ensure its service life.

[0010] Furthermore, a first support member and a second support member are provided on the front housing. The first support member is provided on one front housing side plate, and the second support member is provided on the other front housing side plate. The first support member and the second support member are fixedly connected to the front housing bottom plate.

[0011] After the first support member and the second support member are connected to the front housing side plate and then fixedly connected to the front housing bottom plate, the connection strength of the first support member and the second support member is enhanced, which helps to support the components to be installed subsequently. It also enhances the support strength of the front housing, saves the space occupied by a large number of rib plates, makes the internal components of the air conditioner more compactly arranged, and contributes to the miniaturization of the size of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0012] Further, a water receiving tray is fixedly arranged at the tops of the first support member and the second support member. A heat exchanger and an air outlet assembly are arranged above the water receiving tray. The air outlet assembly is fixedly arranged on the front housing. The heat exchanger is arranged between the air outlet assembly and the rear housing. An air outlet cover plate is arranged on one side of the air outlet assembly away from the heat exchanger. The air outlet cover plate is fixedly connected to the air outlet assembly.

[0013] The first support member and the second support member not only enhance the support strength of the front housing, save a large amount of space occupied by arranging rib plates, but also support the water receiving tray, simplifying the installation structure of the water receiving tray.

[0014] Further, a pipe passing groove and a wire passing groove are arranged on one side of the water receiving tray. The pipe passing groove is used for the passage of the refrigerant pipeline. The wire passing groove is used for the passage of the connecting wire. A water receiving tray pressing cover is also arranged on one side of the water receiving tray close to the pipe passing groove. The water receiving tray pressing cover is fixedly connected to the water receiving tray, the first support member and the second support member. A pipe groove pressing cover and a wire groove pressing cover are arranged on the water receiving tray pressing cover. The pipe groove pressing cover is arranged corresponding to the pipe passing groove for forming a refrigerant pipeline channel and limiting the refrigerant pipeline. The wire groove pressing cover is arranged corresponding to the wire passing groove for forming a connecting wire channel and limiting the connecting wire.

[0015] The first support member and the second support member not only enhance the support strength of the front housing, save a large amount of space occupied by arranging rib plates, but also support the water receiving tray and the water receiving tray pressing cover, simplifying the installation structures of the water receiving tray and the water receiving tray pressing cover.

[0016] Further, the second support member includes a second support main body. An electric control box mounting part is also arranged on the second support main body. The electric control box mounting part is used for mounting an electric control box. A plurality of wire binding buckles are also arranged on the second support member. The plurality of wire binding buckles are arranged on the second support main body and / or the electric control box mounting part. The wire binding buckles are used for binding the wires connected to the electric control box.

[0017] This setting enables the second support member to have multiple functions of strengthening the front housing, supporting the water receiving tray, and fixedly arranging the electric control box, eliminating the need to separately arrange multiple connection structures on the front housing, simplifying the mold structure of the front housing, and optimizing the assembly structure.

[0018] Further, the housing assembly structure further includes a middle frame. A connecting plate is arranged on the middle frame. The middle frame is fixedly connected to the air outlet cover plate, the first support member, and the second support member through the connecting plate.

[0019] In this setting, since the air outlet component is fixedly connected to the air outlet cover plate, it is equivalent to using the fixed connection relationship between the air outlet component and the front housing, the fixed connection relationship between the first support member and the front housing, and the fixed connection relationship between the second support member and the front housing to achieve the fixed assembly of the front housing and the middle frame. Through the above assembly structure, the first support member and the second support member play the roles of strengthening the front housing, supporting and installing the water receiving tray, and achieving the fixed assembly with the middle frame. At the same time, the second support member also plays the role of installing and supporting the electric control box. Through two simple components, the assembly and installation of multiple structures are realized, simplifying the assembly process of the housing.

[0020] Furthermore, the housing assembly structure further includes a front panel, on which an air outlet grid is provided, and the front panel is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0021] In this setting, the connection between the middle frame and the front panel, and the connection between the middle frame and the first support member, the second support member, and the air outlet cover plate are all realized through the connecting plate, simplifying the connecting components of the middle frame and being beneficial to optimizing the assembly process.

[0022] The present invention also discloses an air conditioner, which includes the housing assembly structure as described above.

[0023] The air conditioner and the above housing assembly structure have the same advantages as compared with the prior art, which will not be elaborated herein.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, through the setting of the support portion on the front housing of the present invention, during assembly, it is only necessary to connect the rear housing to the front housing and then connect the front housing to the base to complete the assembly of the three, avoiding the situation of pairwise assembly among the three, improving the assembly stability, enhancing the appearance quality of the product. At the same time, the setting of the support portion can form an effective support, eliminating the need to set an additional anti-tipping device. The first support member, the second support member, and the electric control box can be arranged in the space surrounded by the support portion, improving the space utilization efficiency while ensuring the safety of the air conditioner; through the fixed connection of the first support member, the second support member, and the air outlet component to the outer housing, then connecting the middle frame to the first support member, the second support member, and the air outlet component, and then connecting the front panel to the middle frame to complete the overall assembly of the housing. The setting of the first support member and the second support member enables the internal of the front housing to not require a large number of reinforcing rib structures, effectively saving the internal space of the air conditioner and being beneficial to the miniaturization development of the size of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The structure of the present invention is simple, the assembly is simple and convenient, and the assembly stability of the air conditioner housing is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It should be understood that the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0043] The following specifically describes a housing assembly structure of an embodiment of the present invention and an air conditioner having the same in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] This embodiment provides a housing assembly structure, as Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, it includes a front housing 1, a rear housing 2 and a base 3. A support portion 101 is provided at a position near the bottom of the front housing 1. The rear housing 2 is disposed above the support portion 101 and fixedly connected to the front housing 1. The bottom of the support portion 101 is covered and installed on the base 3 and fixedly connected to the base 3. In this embodiment, during assembly, only the rear housing 2 needs to be connected to the front housing 1, and then the front housing 1 is connected to the base 3 to complete the assembly of the three, avoiding the situation where the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 are respectively assembled with the base 3, improving the assembly stability of the housing, enhancing the appearance quality of the product. At the same time, the setting of the support portion 101 can form an effective support, playing the role of an anti-tipping device in the prior art and ensuring the safety of the air conditioner.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, a front housing bottom plate 103 is provided at the bottom of the support portion 101. A limit frame 1031 is provided on the front housing bottom plate 103.

During assembly, the limit platform 302 extends into the limit frame 1031 to complete the limiting, which can realize the rapid assembly positioning of the front housing 1 and the base 3 and improve the assembly efficiency. Optionally, a first fixing portion 1032 is further provided on the front housing bottom plate 103, and a second fixing portion 303 is correspondingly provided on the base main body 301. The first fixing portion 1032 and the second fixing portion 303 cooperate for fixing, which is used for the fixed connection between the front housing 1 and the base 3. In addition, a receiving space is formed between the support portion and the front housing bottom plate, and the internal components of the air conditioner can be arranged, realizing the rational utilization of space.

[0047] As an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the front housing 1 further includes two front housing side plates 104. At the top ends of the two front housing side plates 104, there is a first covering portion 102. At the top end of the rear housing 2, there is a second covering portion 201. When the front housing 1 is fixedly connected to the rear housing 2, the first covering portion 102 and the second covering portion 201 form the top cover of the housing. In the prior art, after the rear housing 2 and the front housing 1 are assembled, an additional top cover structure usually needs to be installed, resulting in a large number of housing assembly components and cumbersome steps. The separate assembly of the top cover with the front housing 1 and the rear housing 2 is also prone to the phenomenon of incomplete assembly, affecting the appearance quality of the product. The provision of the first covering portion 102 and the second covering portion 201 enables the assembled housing not to require an additional top cover structure, simplifies the assembly components and steps, improves the assembly efficiency, and enhances the assembly quality.
