Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioning chassis and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioner outdoor units typically require a chassis to support the internal components and are then mounted on a base bracket using feet for support. In conventional designs, the feet are usually integrated directly into the chassis edge, resulting in a complex chassis structure, manufacturing difficulties, and poor support. Alternatively, some conventional designs use feet supporting the chassis; however, these feet are typically fixed with screws after direct clamping, increasing the overall height and requiring more installation space. Furthermore, pre-fixing during installation is impossible, leading to difficulties in positioning and installation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem solved by this invention is how to reduce the space requirements for air conditioner installation, while achieving pre-fixation during installation, enabling positioning installation, ensuring stable installation, and improving installation efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an air conditioner chassis, including a first chassis and a first supporting foot. The first supporting foot includes a fitting portion and a boss portion. The boss portion protrudes upward relative to the fitting portion. The fitting portion is fitted to the bottom side surface of the first chassis. A positioning groove is provided through the first chassis. The boss portion is correspondingly assembled in the positioning groove so that the first supporting foot and the first chassis are positioned and engaged.

[0006] The air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention features a first supporting foot configured as a fitting part and a boss part, with the boss part protruding upwards relative to the fitting part. A positioning groove is provided through the first chassis, allowing the boss part to be fitted into the positioning groove. During actual assembly, the fitting part can be fitted against the bottom surface of the first chassis, while the boss part is fitted into the positioning groove. This partial embedding method reduces the overall height of the unit, lowers the installation space requirements, and allows the first supporting foot and the first chassis to be positioned and pre-fixed, facilitating subsequent screw fixing and improving performance.

[0007] Installation efficiency. Compared with existing technologies, the air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention can reduce the space required for air conditioner installation, has better environmental adaptability, and can achieve pre-fixation and positioning installation during installation, thus greatly improving installation efficiency.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the first support foot further includes a mounting support portion, the fitting portion and the boss portion are integrally disposed on the mounting support portion, and the fitting portion protrudes upward relative to the mounting support portion. The two ends of the mounting support portion extend out from both sides of the first chassis for fixing to the base frame.

[0009] The air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention also has an installation support on the bottom side of the fitting part and the boss part, which can fix the first support foot on the base frame and can also play the role of supporting the fitting part and the boss part to ensure the load-bearing effect.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the width of the boss gradually decreases in the direction away from the mounting support, so that the sidewall of the boss is inclined.

[0011] The air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention has a boss with a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, which facilitates smooth insertion into the positioning slot during assembly and ensures proper assembly, thereby further improving assembly efficiency.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the positioning groove is spaced apart from the edge of the first chassis, and the peripheral sidewalls of the boss portion abut against the edge of the positioning groove, so that the boss portion is embedded in the positioning groove.

[0013] The air conditioning chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention has the positioning groove spaced apart from the edge of the first chassis, thereby preventing the opening of the positioning groove from penetrating to the edge of the first chassis, ensuring the structural strength of the first chassis, and ensuring that the four sides of the boss can abut against the edge of the positioning groove, further ensuring the pre-fixing effect of the first support foot.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the air conditioning chassis further includes a second chassis. The first chassis is used to support the water pump module, and the second chassis is disposed on one side edge of the first chassis and detachably connected to the first chassis. The second chassis is used to support the outdoor unit module.

[0015] The air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention splices together a first chassis and a second chassis, and the first chassis and the second chassis are respectively used to carry different functional modules of the air conditioner outdoor unit, so that different functional modules can be assembled on the chassis and then the chassis can be assembled, reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the first chassis is further provided with a shielding fold edge on one side edge near the second chassis. The shielding fold edge overlaps the second chassis and shields the gap between the first chassis and the second chassis.

[0017] The air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention, by setting a shielding folded edge, can block the gap between the first chassis and the second chassis. On the one hand, it can prevent condensate dripping from the top of the chassis from entering the gap and leaking out, causing condensate from the outdoor unit to drip from the middle and cause adverse effects. On the other hand, it can also play a role in preventing insects and dust, preventing external insects or dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the outdoor unit through the gap, and ensuring the safety of the internal components of the outdoor unit.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the first chassis has a first flange on its edge, and the second chassis has a second flange on its edge. The first flange and the second flange are attached to each other and detachably connected. The shielding fold is provided on the top side of the first flange and overlaps the top side of the second flange to shield the gap between the first flange and the second flange.

[0019] The air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention, by setting a first flange and a second flange, can increase the contact area at the splicing point of the first chassis and the second chassis, thereby avoiding misalignment and preventing large vertical gaps, improving the fault tolerance rate during installation, and facilitating rapid assembly to form an air conditioner chassis.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the first flange is provided with a plurality of mounting through holes spaced apart, and the second flange is provided with corresponding engagement holes. A connector is assembled in the mounting through holes, and the connector passes through the mounting through holes and is assembled in the engagement holes. The first flange and the second flange are connected as one unit by the connector.

[0021] The air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention achieves a detachable connection between the first flange and the second flange through a connector, so that the first flange and the second flange can remain relatively fixed. Furthermore, by setting a shielding fold, the shielding fold abuts against the second flange, which can also achieve a pre-fixing function, ensuring that the first flange and the second flange can be pre-installed in place, making it convenient to install the connector and further improving the assembly efficiency.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the air conditioning chassis further includes a second support foot, which is detachably disposed on the bottom side of the second chassis and arranged in parallel with the first support foot.

[0023] The air conditioner chassis provided in this embodiment of the invention can support the second chassis by setting a second supporting foot. The second supporting foot is arranged in parallel with the first supporting foot, which can better connect with the base frame below and provide more balanced support for the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0024] Secondly, the present invention provides an air conditioner, including a surround panel, a water pump module and the aforementioned air conditioner chassis, wherein the surround panel is disposed on the edge of the first chassis and the water pump module is disposed on the first chassis.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] As disclosed in the background section, existing technologies for air conditioner outdoor unit chassis typically require a foot structure for support, with the feet fixed to the base frame. Conventional foot structures are usually directly mounted to the bottom side of the chassis and secured with screws. Since the fixed objects are the feet and the chassis, the supporting surface of the feet needs to be in contact with the bottom surface of the chassis, while the feet themselves protrude completely from the bottom surface of the chassis. This arrangement increases the overall height of the outdoor unit, requiring more installation space. Furthermore, the lack of a limiting structure during installation necessitates manual fixing of the feet before screw insertion, making pre-fixation impossible, leading to difficulties in positioning and installation, a tendency for displacement, and hindering installation efficiency.

[0035] In addition, existing heat pump air conditioners typically use an integrated chassis structure, which integrates the water pump module and compressor module on the same chassis. This makes assembly difficult and makes it impossible to directly upgrade existing conventional air conditioner outdoor unit chassis. It requires additional molds to make large-sized chassis, which is costly.

[0036] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides an air conditioning chassis and an air conditioner. To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] First Embodiment

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an air conditioner chassis 100, which is suitable for a heat pump air conditioner 200. This chassis 100 can reduce the installation height, reduce the space required for air conditioner installation, and allows for pre-fixation during installation, ensuring stable and secure installation and significantly improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, the use of a modular chassis reduces manufacturing costs and assembly difficulty.

[0039] The air conditioning chassis 100 provided in this embodiment includes a first chassis 110, a first supporting foot 130, and a second chassis 150. The first supporting foot 130 includes a fitting portion 131 and a boss portion 133. The boss portion 133 protrudes upward relative to the fitting portion 131. The fitting portion 131 is fitted to the bottom side surface of the first chassis 110, and a positioning groove 111 is provided through the first chassis 110. The boss portion 133 is correspondingly assembled in the positioning groove 111 so that the first supporting foot 130 and the first chassis 110 are positioned and engaged. The first chassis 110 is used to support the water pump module 230. The second chassis 150 is disposed on one side edge of the first chassis 110 and is detachably connected to the first chassis 110. The second chassis 150 is used to support the outdoor unit module 210.

[0040] It should be noted that, in conjunction with the above, Figure 7In this embodiment, the air conditioning chassis 100 is suitable for a heat pump air conditioner 200. The first chassis 110 is a small chassis that can support the water pump module 230, which may include a water pump, a plate heat exchanger, an electric auxiliary heater, etc. The second chassis 150 is a large chassis that supports the outdoor unit module 210, which may include a fan, a condenser, a compressor, and electronic control components. For the basic structure and working principle of the heat pump air conditioner 200, please refer to the relevant descriptions in the prior art; they will not be repeated here.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first support foot is configured as an integral fitting part 131 and a boss part 133, with the boss part 133 protruding upward relative to the fitting part 131. A positioning groove 111 is provided through the first chassis 110, and the boss part 133 can be assembled with the positioning groove 111. In actual assembly, the fitting part 131 can be fitted onto the bottom surface of the first chassis 110, while the boss part 133 is correspondingly assembled in the positioning groove 111. This partial embedding method can reduce the overall height of the machine and the installation space requirements. At the same time, it can make the first support foot 130 and the first chassis 110 position and cooperate to achieve pre-fixation, which facilitates subsequent screw fixing and improves installation efficiency.

[0042] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150 are spliced ​​together, and the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150 are respectively used to carry different functional modules of the air conditioner outdoor unit. This allows different functional modules to be assembled on the chassis before the chassis is assembled, reducing the assembly difficulty. Furthermore, the original outdoor unit chassis can be directly spliced ​​together to form an integral chassis without the need for additional mold opening, thus reducing manufacturing costs.

[0043] In this embodiment, the protrusion protrudes upward relative to the fitting part 131, and the overall height of the first supporting foot 130 is equivalent to the height of a conventional foot. The protrusion is embedded in the positioning groove 111, which offsets part of the height, thereby reducing the overall height of the machine and facilitating the installation of the foot and the whole machine.

[0044] Furthermore, the first support foot 130 also includes a mounting support portion 135. A fitting portion 131 and a protrusion portion 133 are integrally disposed on the mounting support portion 135, with the fitting portion 131 protruding upwards relative to the mounting support portion 135. Both ends of the mounting support portion 135 extend outwards from both sides of the first chassis 110 for fixing to the base frame. Specifically, the fitting portion 131 and the protrusion portion 133 can be of similar size, thereby balancing their support effect. That is, the fitting area of ​​the fitting portion 131 is the same as or similar to the embedded area of ​​the protrusion portion 133, thus ensuring the support effect while facilitating screw insertion. In this embodiment, a mounting support portion 135 is also provided on the bottom side of the fitting portion 131 and the protrusion portion 133, which can fix the first support foot 130 to the base frame and also serve to support the fitting portion 131 and the protrusion portion 133, ensuring the load-bearing effect.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fitting part 131 is provided with mounting holes and screws are inserted therein. The fitting part 131 is fixed to the bottom side surface of the chassis by the screws. The boss part 133 is embedded in the positioning groove 111, so it can play a limiting role itself and can ensure the relative fixation between the first support foot 130 and the first chassis 110.

[0046] In this embodiment, the width of the boss portion 133 gradually decreases in the direction away from the mounting support portion 135, so that the sidewall of the boss portion 133 is inclined. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the boss portion 133 is trapezoidal, and the sidewall of the boss portion 133 is inclined inward from bottom to top. During installation, the smaller top part is inserted into the positioning groove 111 first, and then embedded upward in the positioning groove 111. The boss portion 133 in this embodiment has a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, which facilitates smooth insertion into the positioning groove 111 during assembly and ensures proper assembly, further improving assembly efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the boss 133 can be rectangular, and the positioning groove 111 is also rectangular. The boss 133 is embedded in the positioning groove 111. The rectangular positioning groove 111 is easy to manufacture and ensures that the boss 133 and the positioning groove 111 will not rotate during pre-installation. That is, the positioning groove 111 and the boss 133 achieve relative positioning of the first support foot 130, which facilitates the subsequent insertion of screws. Of course, the boss 133 can also be elliptical, rhomboid, or other shapes, and the shape of the positioning groove 111 can also be adapted. The shapes of the boss 133 and the positioning groove 111 are not specifically limited here.

[0048] In this embodiment, the positioning groove 111 is spaced apart from the edge of the first chassis 110, and the peripheral sidewalls of the boss portion 133 abut against the edge of the positioning groove 111, so that the boss portion 133 is embedded in the positioning groove 111. Specifically, the positioning groove 111 can be formed by a punching process, and the punching process avoids extending to the edge position, which is conducive to punching and forming. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the positioning groove 111 is spaced apart from the edge of the first chassis 110, thereby preventing the opening of the positioning groove 111 from penetrating to the edge of the first chassis 110, ensuring the structural strength of the first chassis 110, and ensuring that the peripheral sidewalls of the boss portion 133 can abut against the edge of the positioning groove 111, further ensuring the pre-fixing effect of the first support foot 130.

[0049] Please refer to the above. Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, a shielding folded edge 113 is also provided on one edge of the first chassis 110 near the second chassis 150. The shielding folded edge 113 overlaps the second chassis 150 and shields the gap between the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150. Specifically, the shielding folded edge 113 is integrally provided on the edge of the first chassis 110 and extends towards the second chassis 150. By providing the shielding folded edge 113, the gap between the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150 can be blocked. On the one hand, it can prevent condensate dripping from the top of the chassis from entering the gap and leaking out, causing condensate from the air conditioner outdoor unit to drip from the middle and cause adverse effects. On the other hand, it can also play a role in preventing insects and dust, preventing external insects or dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the outdoor unit through the gap, and ensuring the safety of the internal components of the outdoor unit.

[0050] In this embodiment, the edge of the first chassis 110 is provided with a first flange 115, and the edge of the second chassis 150 is provided with a second flange 137. The first flange 115 and the second flange 137 are fitted together and detachably connected. A covering flange 113 is provided on the top side of the first flange 115 and overlaps the top side of the second flange 137 to cover the gap between the first flange 115 and the second flange 137. Specifically, the first flange 115 and the second flange 137 are integrally provided on the edges of the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150, respectively. The first flange 115 extends upward from the edge of the first chassis 110, and the second flange 137 extends upward from the edge of the second chassis 150. By providing the first flange 115 and the second flange 137, the contact area at the splicing point of the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150 can be increased, thereby avoiding misalignment and preventing large vertical gaps, improving the error tolerance during installation, and facilitating rapid assembly to form the air conditioning chassis 100.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first flange 115 is provided with a plurality of mounting through holes 117 spaced apart, and the second flange 137 is provided with corresponding engagement holes 139. A connector 151 is fitted into the mounting through holes 117 and is fitted into the engagement hole 139 after passing through the mounting through holes 117. The first flange 115 and the second flange 137 are connected as one unit by the connector 151. Specifically, the connector 151 is a screw, and the engagement hole 139 is a screw hole. The screw is inserted into the mounting through holes 117 and fitted into the screw hole to fix the first flange 115 and the second flange 137, and to achieve fixed positioning between the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150. The first flange 115 and the second flange 137 are detachably connected by the connector 151, so that the first flange 115 and the second flange 137 can remain relatively fixed. Furthermore, by setting the blocking fold 113, which abuts against the second flange 137, a pre-fixing function can also be achieved, ensuring that the first flange 115 and the second flange 137 can be pre-installed in place, making it convenient to insert the connector 151 and further improving the assembly efficiency.

[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the shielding fold 113 extends horizontally toward the center of the second chassis 150. Specifically, the shielding fold 113 is located on the top edge of the first flange 115 and is perpendicular to the first flange 115, so that the shielding fold 113 can extend horizontally. This allows the shielding fold 113 to be pre-attached to the second chassis 150 when splicing the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150, thereby achieving pre-fixation of the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150. This facilitates the alignment of the mounting through hole 117 and the mating hole 139 before screws are inserted, further improving assembly efficiency.

[0053] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, four mounting through holes 117 can be provided on the first flange 115. The four mounting through holes 117 are evenly spaced. The first flange 115 is fixed to the second flange 137 by four screws, ensuring a stable connection between the first flange 115 and the second flange 137.

[0054] In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the shielding fold 113 may also extend downward at an angle from the top of the first flange 115 toward the second chassis 150. This arrangement not only serves to shield the gap but also provides a horizontal limit for the second flange 137. A V-groove is formed between the first flange 115 and the shielding fold 113 to facilitate the insertion and pre-fixing of the second flange 137.

[0055] In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the shielding fold 113 can also be configured with a U-shaped bend, that is, the shielding fold 113 extends horizontally for a short distance and then bends vertically downward, thereby forming a groove together with the first flange 115, facilitating the insertion and pre-fixing of the second flange 137. Furthermore, the shielding fold 113 can also limit the horizontal movement of the second flange 137, further improving the splicing and fixing effect between the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150.

[0056] Furthermore, the air conditioner chassis 100 also includes a second support foot 170, which is detachably mounted on the bottom side of the second chassis 150 and arranged parallel to the first support foot 130. Specifically, the second support foot 170 is arranged parallel to the first support foot 130, and there can be two second support feet 170, thereby achieving stable support for the second chassis 150. By setting the second support foot 170, the second chassis 150 can be supported, and the parallel arrangement of the second support foot 170 and the first support foot 130 allows for better connection with the lower base frame, while providing more balanced support for the entire outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0057] In this embodiment, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, the first support foot 130 and the second support foot 170 can adopt the same structure. At the same time, a corresponding recessed position can also be provided on the second chassis 150 to facilitate the accommodation of the protruding part on the second support foot 170.

[0058] In summary, this embodiment provides an air conditioner chassis 100. By configuring the first supporting foot as a fitting part 131 and a boss part 133, with the boss part 133 protruding upwards relative to the fitting part 131, and a positioning groove 111 extending through the first chassis 110, the boss part 133 can be correspondingly assembled with the positioning groove 111. During actual assembly, the fitting part 131 can be fitted against the bottom surface of the first chassis 110, while the boss part 133 is correspondingly assembled in the positioning groove 111. This partial embedding method reduces the overall height of the unit, lowers the installation space requirement, and allows the first supporting foot 130 and the first chassis 110 to be positioned and pre-fixed, facilitating subsequent screw fixing and improving installation efficiency. Compared to existing technologies, the air conditioner chassis 100 provided in this embodiment reduces the air conditioner installation space requirement, has better environmental adaptability, and allows for pre-fixation and positioning installation during installation, significantly improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, the use of a structure where the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150 are joined together reduces manufacturing costs and installation difficulty. At the same time, by setting a shielding folded edge 113, the gap between the first chassis 110 and the second chassis 150 can be blocked, preventing condensate from leaking to the outside or preventing external insects and dust from entering.
