[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include:
[0045] In the technical solution of the present invention, the air conditioner includes a first heat exchange component, a second heat exchange component and a connecting component. The connecting component is suitable for connecting the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component respectively, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are suitable for being arranged at intervals, and the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are suitable for being installed between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling. Compared with the solution in the related art in which the first heat exchange component is arranged indoors and the second heat exchange component is arranged outdoors, since the second heat exchange component in this solution is arranged between the indoor ceiling and the suspended ceiling, there is no need to reserve an installation structure for installing the second heat exchange component outside the building. On the one hand, the applicable scenarios of the air conditioner are improved (for example, the air conditioner can be installed in a scene where there is no installation structure reserved for installing the air conditioner outdoors, such as a kitchen), and on the other hand, since the installer does not need to set a safety rope to install the second heat exchange component outdoors when installing the second heat exchange component, the installation difficulty of the second heat exchange component is also reduced.
[0046] Furthermore, in this solution, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are suitable for being spaced apart, and the connecting component is configured to enable relative movement between the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component after the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are connected respectively. Compared with the structure in the related art that the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are connected as one, and the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component cannot generate relative movement after the connecting component connects the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component in the air conditioner in this solution can be installed separately. When installing specifically, the first heat exchange component can be installed first, and then the second heat exchange component can be installed. When the connecting component is connected to the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component, during the installation process, when the size of the installation opening of the fixed bracket in the ceiling is small, it is more convenient to install the air conditioner, and the size requirement of the installation opening is lower.
[0047] Furthermore, since the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are suitable for being arranged at intervals, and the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component can move relative to each other before installation, the arrangement position of the second heat exchange component is not limited by the position of the first heat exchange component. The second heat exchange component can be arranged accordingly according to the position of the exhaust port of the building connected to the outdoors. The position arrangement of the second heat exchange component is more flexible, which reduces the difficulty of installing the pipe components respectively connected to the second heat exchange component and the exhaust port.

[0076] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0077] The air conditioner includes a first heat exchange component and a second heat exchange component, and the first heat exchange component is connected to the second heat exchange component and the working conditions of the two are opposite. When the first heat exchange component is used for heating, the second heat exchange component is used to obtain heat, and when the first heat exchange component is used for cooling, the second heat exchange component is used to dissipate heat. In the related art, the first heat dissipation component is arranged indoors, and the second heat exchange component is arranged outdoors. However, in some scenarios, there may not be a location for installing the second heat exchange component outdoors, which makes the installation of the second heat exchange component more troublesome.
[0078] Furthermore, the applicant initially considered that when there is no installation structure for installing the air conditioner outdoors, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component can be integrated, and the integrated air conditioner can be installed between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling indoors, so that the second heat exchange component can be installed indoors, reducing the difficulty of installing the second heat exchange component. However, the applicant found that the indoor suspended ceiling includes a fixed bracket and a plurality of hanging plates, and the fixed bracket is provided with a plurality of installation openings, and each hanging plate covers each installation opening one by one and is connected to the fixed bracket. Since the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are integrated, the overall size of the air conditioner is relatively large, and the size of the installation opening of the suspended ceiling is limited. Therefore, when the size of the installation opening is small, part of the rod of the fixed bracket needs to be cut off during the installation of the air conditioner to increase the size of the installation opening, thereby facilitating the installation of the air conditioner. On the one hand, this solution reduces the structural strength of the fixed bracket, and on the other hand, it also increases the installation complexity of the air conditioner. On the other hand, since the second heat exchange component is integrally arranged with the first heat exchange component, the layout position of the second heat exchange component is constrained by the layout position of the first heat exchange component. When the layout position of the first heat exchange component is far away from the exhaust port connected to the outdoors, the installation of the pipe assembly connecting the exhaust port and the second heat exchange component is relatively more troublesome.
[0079] Reference Figures 1 to 14 In the first aspect of the present application, an embodiment of an air conditioner 100 is provided, which is easy to install. It is understandable that the air conditioner 100 can be used in indoor kitchens, living rooms, offices or bedrooms, etc. The embodiment of the present application takes the use of the air conditioner 100 in the kitchen as an example for explanation. It should be noted that the room has a ceiling 30, and the ceiling 30 is the floor on the top side of the room. The suspended ceiling 20 is connected to the ceiling 30 or the vertical wall on the side and is located on the lower side of the ceiling 30. The suspended ceiling 20 includes a fixed bracket 21 and a plurality of hanging plates 22. The fixed bracket 21 defines a plurality of mounting openings 23, each hanging plate 22 can be connected to the fixed bracket 21, and each hanging plate 22 can cover each mounting opening 23 accordingly. Furthermore, the fixed bracket 21 can be composed of a plurality of keels arranged in a criss-cross pattern.
[0080] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 14 The air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present application is introduced. Specifically, the air conditioner 100 includes a first heat exchange component 110 and a second heat exchange component 120. The first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 have different specific configurations and functions.
[0081] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8The first heat exchange component 110 is used for indoor heat exchange. The first heat exchange component 110 includes a first heat exchanger 112. Specifically, the first heat exchanger 112 is an evaporator, and the refrigerant is converted from liquid to gas in the evaporator, which can absorb indoor heat to achieve cooling. The first heat exchange component 110 includes a first shell 111, and the first shell 111 can be adapted to the arrangement of the first heat exchanger 112. The first shell 111 defines a first cavity 113, and the first heat exchanger 112 can be accommodated in the first cavity 113.
[0082] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the second heat exchange component 120 is used for outdoor heat exchange. The second heat exchange component 120 includes a second heat exchanger 122. Specifically, the second heat exchanger 122 is a condenser, which can receive heat from the gaseous refrigerator and release the heat to the outdoor environment through the airflow. The second heat exchange component 120 includes a second shell 121, and the second shell 121 can be adapted to the arrangement of the second heat exchanger 122. The second shell 121 defines a second cavity 123, and the second heat exchanger 122 can be accommodated in the second cavity 123. Exemplarily, the second heat exchanger 122 can be "U-shaped", "one-shaped" or "L-shaped", etc.
[0083] Reference Figures 7 to 14 , the second heat exchange component 120 is suitable for being arranged at a distance from the first heat exchange component 110. Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 are arranged with a small interval. Specifically, the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 may be separated by only a single keel. Fig.13 In other embodiments, the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 are arranged at a large interval. Specifically, the spacing between the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 may also be greater than the size of a single hanger plate 22. In other embodiments, the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 may also be connected to each other as a whole after passing through the keel. Furthermore, the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 may be connected to each other as a whole after passing through the side of the keel facing the ceiling 30, or may be connected to each other as a whole after passing through the side of the keel facing away from the ceiling 30.
[0084] Reference Figures 1 to 4, the connecting component 130 is suitable for connecting to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, so that heat circulation can be achieved between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. The connecting component 130 and the first heat exchange component 110 can be connected integrally or detachably. In some embodiments, the connecting component 130 and the first heat exchange component 110 are detachably connected, and the connecting component 130 can be screwed to the first heat exchange component 110 and conduct with the first heat exchange component 110. In other embodiments, the connecting component 130 can be snap-connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and conduct with the first heat exchange component 110. In other embodiments, the connecting component 130 can be screwed and snap-connected to the first heat exchange component 110 at the same time, and conduct with the first heat exchange component 110. It should be noted that the connection setting of the connecting component 130 on the second heat exchange component 120 can be the same as the connection setting of the connecting component 130 on the first heat exchange component 110, or it can be different, depending on the actual situation. In some embodiments, the connection component 130 can also be integrally connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, and after the connection component 130 is connected between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, and before all installation steps of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are completed, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can generate relative movement. At this time, the connection component 130 can be movably connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, that is, the connection component 130 can be movable relative to at least one of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. Alternatively, the connection component 130 can be flexibly connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, that is, the connection component 130 can generate a recoverable deformation.
[0085] Reference Figures 7 to 12 , the specific setting positions of the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 are introduced below. The first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 are both suitable for installation between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20. The following definition is made between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20: the area from the ceiling 30 to the bottom wall of the suspended ceiling 20 (the wall surface of the suspended ceiling 20 facing away from the ceiling 30) can be regarded as the area between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 can be located between the ceiling 30 and the top wall of the suspended ceiling 20 (the wall surface of the suspended ceiling 20 facing the ceiling 30). In other embodiments, the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 can be located between the ceiling 30 and the bottom wall of the suspended ceiling 20.
[0086] Compared with the solution in the related art in which the first heat exchange component 110 is arranged indoors and the second heat exchange component 120 is arranged outdoors, since the second heat exchange component 120 in this solution is arranged between the indoor ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20, there is no need to reserve an installation structure for installing the second heat exchange component 120 outside the building. On the one hand, the applicability of the air conditioner 100 is improved (for example, the air conditioner 100 can be installed in a kitchen or other outdoor scene where there is no installation structure reserved for installing the air conditioner 100). On the other hand, since the installer does not need to set a safety rope to install the second heat exchange component 120 outdoors when installing the second heat exchange component 120, the installation difficulty of the second heat exchange component 120 is also reduced.
[0087] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are suitable for being arranged at intervals, and the connecting component 130 is suitable for being connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, and the connecting component 130 is configured to enable relative movement between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 after being respectively connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. Compared with the structure in which the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are integrally arranged in the related art, and the connecting component 130, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are connected as one when the air conditioner 100 leaves the factory, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 in the air conditioner 100 in this scheme can be installed separately. During the specific installation, the first heat exchange component 110 can be installed first, and then the second heat exchange component 120 can be installed. When the connecting component 130 is connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, during the installation process, when the size of the installation port 23 of the fixed bracket 21 in the ceiling 20 is small, it is more convenient to install the air conditioner 100, and the size requirement of the installation port 23 is lower.
[0088] In particular, when the connecting component 130 is detachably connected to at least one of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, the installation of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 may not affect each other. At this time, after the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are installed, the connecting component 130 is connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. When the connecting component 130 is integrally connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, during the installation of the air conditioner 100, the first heat exchange component 110 can be first passed through the installation opening 23 of the ceiling 20. Since the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can move relative to each other before installation, although the connecting component 130 has a certain restraining effect on the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, it still does not affect the installation of the first heat exchange component 110. After the first heat exchange component 110 passes through the installation port 23, the second heat exchange component 120 is then passed through the same installation port 23, and finally the position between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 is adjusted, so that the first heat exchange component 110, the second heat exchange component 120 and the connecting component 130 are finally located between the fixed bracket 21 of the suspended ceiling 20 and the ceiling.
[0089] Furthermore, since the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are suitable for being spaced apart, the arrangement position of the second heat exchange component 120 is not restricted by the position of the first heat exchange component 110. The second heat exchange component 120 can be arranged in correspondence with the position of the exhaust vent of the building connected to the outdoors. The position arrangement of the second heat exchange component 120 is more flexible, which reduces the difficulty of installing the pipe components respectively connected to the second heat exchange component 120 and the exhaust vent.
[0090] Reference Figures 3 to 6 , the air guide setting of the air conditioner 100 is introduced below. In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 includes a panel assembly 140, and the panel assembly 140 can be used for air guide. The panel assembly 140 can be arranged on the side of the air conditioner 100 facing the indoor room. The panel assembly 140 is provided with a first air outlet 143.

In other embodiments, the main panel 141 may also be suspended from the ceiling 30. In other embodiments, the main panel 141 may also be fixedly connected to the keel. The specific connection position of the main panel 141 may depend on the actual situation. It should be noted that when the interval between the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 is small (only a single keel, etc.), the main panel 141 may also be connected to the lower end of the second shell 121. The embodiment of the present application is described by taking the main panel 141 connected to the first shell 111 as an example. The main panel 141 of this solution is directly connected to the first shell 111 of the first heat exchange assembly 110, and the first heat exchange assembly 110 is used for indoor space heat exchange, so it will be arranged close to one side of the indoor space, which can facilitate the assembly and disassembly maintenance of the panel assembly 140 and ensure the assembly and disassembly efficiency.

In other embodiments, the second air outlet 115 can be arranged at both sides of the first shell 111 in the horizontal direction, and the air guide shell 142 can be connected to both sides of the first shell 111 in the horizontal direction. The panel assembly 140 of this solution includes a main panel 141 and an air guide shell 142, which can effectively increase the air guide distance of the panel assembly 140 to ensure the heat exchange effect. In addition, it can also avoid the situation where the airflow circulates disorderly inside the ceiling 20 and causes heat exchange loss, and can be adaptively installed in a large-size (height size) ceiling 20 structure.

In some embodiments, the panel assembly 140 is connected to the first shell 111. Specifically, the panel can be connected to the lower end of the first shell 111. When the panel is connected to the lower end of the first shell 111, along the vertical direction, refer to Fig.11 In other embodiments, the panel assembly 140 is connected to the first shell 111. Specifically, the panel assembly 140 can be connected to the lower end of the first shell 111. When the panel is connected to the lower end of the first shell 111, along the vertical direction, refer to Fig.10 In the vertical direction, that is, the panel assembly 140 covers the first shell 111 and the second shell 121. The assembly connection of the panel assembly 140 of this solution is more stable, and it is convenient to monitor the operating status of the second heat exchange assembly 120 and to maintain the second heat exchange assembly 120. In other embodiments, the panel assembly 140 may also only cover part of the first shell 111 and the second shell 121.
[0094] Reference Fig.12, the specific configuration of the main panel 141 is described below. In some embodiments, the main panel 141 includes a first panel 1411 and a second panel 1412. The structure of the second panel 1412 may be the same as or different from that of the first panel 1411. It should be noted that the first panel 1411 and the second panel 1412 are arranged separately. The first panel 1411 is provided with a first air outlet 143, that is, the airflow of the first heat exchange component 110 is suitable for being discharged from the first panel 1411.
[0095] The following describes the relative arrangement of the first panel 1411 and the first housing 111. The first panel 1411 is connected to the first housing 111. Specifically, the first panel 1411 can be connected to the lower end of the first housing 111. When the first panel 1411 is connected to the lower end of the first housing 111, along the vertical direction, Fig.12 The first panel 1411 may cover the first shell 111 in the up-down direction.

In some embodiments, the first panel 1411 includes a first connection structure 1413, and the second panel 1412 includes a second connection structure 1414. The second connection structure 1414 can be arranged to fit the first connection structure 1413. The first connection structure 1413 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second connection structure 1414, so that the first panel 1411 and the second panel 1412 are connected as an integral structure.
[0100] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first connection structure 1413 may be provided with a block, the second connection structure 1414 may be provided with a slot, and the block may be connected to the slot. In other embodiments, the first connection structure 1413 may be provided with a screw, the second connection structure 1414 may be provided with a screw hole, and the screw may be threadedly connected to the screw hole. The specific connection settings of the first connection structure 1413 and the second connection structure 1414 may depend on actual conditions.
[0101] The first connecting structure 1413 of the present solution can be detachably connected to the second connecting structure 1414, which can effectively improve the stability of the assembly connection between the first panel 1411 and the second panel 1412, ensure the reliability of the overall structure of the panel assembly 140, and can be combined and separated according to actual needs, thereby meeting the installation requirements of various application scenarios.
[0102] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , the specific configuration of the connection component 130 is described below. In some embodiments, the connection component 130 includes a wire and a heat exchange pipeline. The wire is used to electrically connect the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. The heat exchange pipeline is used to connect the first heat exchanger 112 and the second heat exchanger 122, so that the heat exchange medium circulates between the first heat exchanger 112 and the second heat exchanger 122. This solution facilitates the connection component 130 to connect the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, and can ensure the reliability of the operation of the air conditioner 100. In other embodiments, the connection component 130 includes a wire, a water pipe and a heat exchange pipeline. The water pipe can guide the condensed water in the first heat exchange component 110 to the second heat exchange component 120, and then guide the condensed water to the outside. This solution can effectively reduce the leakage and accumulation of condensed water indoors and improve the user experience.
[0103] Reference Figure 1 , the specific size setting of the first shell 111 is introduced below. In some embodiments, the width dimension A1 of the first shell 111 along the transverse direction satisfies: 260mm≤A1≤265mm. For example, A1 can be 260mm, 262mm, 264mm or 265mm, etc. The transverse dimension of the first shell 111 of this solution is smaller than the dimension of the installation opening 23, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the first heat exchange assembly 110.
[0104] Reference Figure 1 In other embodiments, the width dimension A1 of the first shell 111 along the lateral direction satisfies: 265mm≤A1≤300mm. Exemplarily, A1 can be 265mm, 270mm, 285mm, 290mm or 300mm, etc. The lateral dimension of the first shell 111 of this solution is larger than the size of the installation opening 23, that is, the first heat exchanger 112 can be set to a larger volume, which can enhance the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that when the lateral dimension of the first shell 111 is larger than the size of the installation opening 23, when installing the first heat exchange assembly 110, only a single hanging plate 22 can be disassembled to expose a single installation opening 23. Specifically, the first shell 111 is tilted in the horizontal direction so that the installation opening 23 is firstly provided at the higher end of the first shell 111 in the horizontal direction, and then the first shell 111 is pushed in the horizontal direction, and then the installation opening 23 is provided at the lower end of the first shell 111 in the horizontal direction, so that the first heat exchange component 110 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20.
[0105] Reference Figure 1 , the specific size setting of the first shell 111 is introduced below. In some embodiments, the length dimension A2 of the first shell 111 along the horizontal direction satisfies: 500mm≤A2≤600mm. For example, A2 can be 500mm, 510mm, 525mm, 548mm, 570mm, 583mm, 596mm or 600mm, etc. The length dimension of the first shell 111 along the horizontal direction of this solution is smaller than the size of the installation opening 23, which is convenient for assembling and disassembling the first heat exchange assembly 110.
[0106] Reference Figure 1 In other embodiments, the transverse length dimension A2 of the first shell 111 satisfies: 600mm≤A2≤631mm. Exemplarily, A2 can be 600mm, 605mm, 614mm, 620mm, 625mm or 631mm, etc. In this solution, the transverse length dimension of the first shell 111 is larger than the size of the installation opening 23, that is, the first heat exchanger 112 can be set to a larger volume, which can enhance the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that when the transverse length dimension of the first shell 111 is larger than the size of the installation opening 23, when installing the first heat exchange assembly 110, only a single hanging plate 22 can be disassembled to expose a single installation opening 23. Specifically, the first shell 111 is tilted in the horizontal direction so that the installation opening 23 is firstly provided at the higher end of the first shell 111 in the horizontal direction, and then the first shell 111 is pushed in the horizontal direction, and then the installation opening 23 is provided at the lower end of the first shell 111 in the horizontal direction, so that the first heat exchange component 110 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20.
[0107] Reference Figure 1, the specific size setting of the second shell 121 is introduced below. In some embodiments, the width dimension B1 of the second shell 121 along the transverse direction satisfies: 260mm≤B1≤265mm. For example, B1 can be 260mm, 262mm, 264mm or 265mm, etc. The width dimension of the second shell 121 along the transverse direction of this solution is smaller than the size of the installation opening 23, which is convenient for installing and disassembling the first heat exchange assembly 110.
[0108] Reference Figure 1 In other embodiments, the width dimension B1 of the second shell 121 along the transverse direction satisfies: 265mm≤B1≤300mm. Exemplarily, B1 can be 265mm, 270mm, 275mm, 283mm, 290mm or 300mm, etc. The width dimension of the second shell 121 along the transverse direction of the present solution is larger than the size of the mounting opening 23, that is, the second heat exchanger 122 can be set to a larger volume, which can enhance the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. It can be understood that when the width dimension of the second shell 121 along the transverse direction is larger than the size of the mounting opening 23, when installing the second heat exchange assembly 120, only a single hanging plate 22 can be disassembled to expose a single mounting opening 23. Specifically, the second shell 121 is tilted in the horizontal direction so that the installation opening 23 is firstly provided at the higher end of the second shell 121 in the horizontal direction, and then the second shell 121 is pushed in the horizontal direction, and then the installation opening 23 is provided at the lower end of the second shell 121 in the horizontal direction, so that the second heat exchange assembly 120 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20.
[0109] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the lateral dimension of the first shell 111 is much larger than the dimension of the installation opening 23, a larger first heat exchanger 112 can be installed to enhance the heat exchange effect. In this case, the keel can be directly cut during installation, so that multiple installation openings 23 can be interconnected, thereby realizing the installation of the first heat exchange assembly 110.
[0110] Reference Figure 1 , the specific size setting of the second shell 121 is introduced below. In some embodiments, the length dimension B2 of the second shell 121 along the horizontal direction satisfies: 500mm≤B2≤600mm. Exemplarily, B2 can be 500mm, 515mm, 534mm, 548mm, 560mm, 580mm or 600mm, etc. The length dimension of the second shell 121 along the horizontal direction of this solution is smaller than the size of the installation port 23, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the second heat exchange assembly 120.
[0111] Reference Figure 1In other embodiments, the width dimension B2 of the second shell 121 along the lateral direction satisfies: 600mm≤B2≤631mm. Exemplarily, B2 can be 600mm, 610mm, 615mm, 620mm or 631mm, etc. In this solution, the lateral dimension of the second shell 121 is larger than the dimension of the mounting opening 23, that is, the second heat exchanger 122 can be set to a larger volume, which can enhance the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that when the lateral dimension of the second shell 121 is larger than the dimension of the mounting opening 23, when installing the second heat exchange assembly 120, only a single hanging plate 22 can be disassembled to expose a single mounting opening 23. Specifically, the second shell 121 is tilted in the horizontal direction so that the installation opening 23 is firstly provided at the higher end of the second shell 121 in the horizontal direction, and then the second shell 121 is pushed in the horizontal direction, and then the installation opening 23 is provided at the lower end of the second shell 121 in the horizontal direction, so that the second heat exchange assembly 120 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20.
[0112] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the lateral dimension of the second shell 121 is much larger than the dimension of the installation opening 23, a second heat exchanger 122 with a larger volume can be installed to enhance the heat exchange effect. In this case, the keel can be directly cut during installation, that is, multiple installation openings 23 can be interconnected, thereby realizing the installation of the first heat exchange assembly 110.
[0113] Reference Figure 1 , the specific setting of the connection component 130 is introduced below. In some embodiments, the length dimension L of the connection component 130 satisfies: L≤3000mm. Exemplarily, L can be 3000mm, 2950mm, 2700mm, 2500mm, 2000mm, 1500mm or 1000mm, etc. The connection component 130 of this solution adopts the above-mentioned length dimension setting, so that there are multiple relative installation positions between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, which can meet various installation requirements of various installation scenarios.
[0114] Reference Figure 4 , the specific connection arrangement of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 is described below. In some embodiments, the first heat exchange component 110 is provided with a first connection portion 114 along one side thereof. Figure 4 The first heat exchange assembly 110 is provided with a first connection portion 114 on the left side along the left-right direction. The second heat exchange assembly 120 is provided with a second connection portion 124 on one side along the lateral direction. Figure 4 The second heat exchange assembly 120 is provided with a second connection portion 124 on the right side along the left-right direction. One end of the connection assembly 130 can be connected to the first connection portion 114, and the other end can be connected to the second connection portion 124, so that the connection between the first connection assembly 130 and the second connection assembly 130 can be realized.
[0115] Specifically, the distance between the first connection portion 114 and the bottom wall of the first heat exchange component 110 is M1, and the distance between the second connection portion 124 and the bottom wall of the second heat exchange component 120 is M2. Wherein, M1 satisfies: M1 ≥ 40 mm. Exemplarily, M1 can be 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm or 70 mm, etc. M2 satisfies: M2 ≥ 40 mm. Exemplarily, M2 can be 40 mm, 44 mm, 47 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm or 70 mm, etc.
[0116] The first connection part 114, the second connection part 124 and the connection component 130 of the present solution meet the above-mentioned dimensions, that is, when installing the air conditioner 100, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can be installed first, and then the connection component 130 can be connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 respectively, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency and avoid the disconnection between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 and the connection component 130 during the assembly process, thereby ensuring the reliability of the assembly of the air conditioner 100.
[0117] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the specific connection arrangement of the first shell 111 and the second shell 121 is introduced below. In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 also includes a fixing assembly 150, and the fixing assembly 150 includes a first fixing member 151 and a second fixing member 152. The first fixing member 151 is used to fix the first shell 111, and the second fixing member 152 is used to fix the second shell 121. Specifically, one end of the first fixing member 151 can be connected to the ceiling 30, and the other end can be connected to the first shell 111. One end of the second fixing member 152 can be connected to the ceiling 30, and the other end can be connected to the second shell 121. Further, both the first fixing member 151 and the second fixing member 152 can be screws, and the screws can be threadedly connected to the ceiling 30. The first fixing member 151 and the second fixing member 152 of this solution can ensure the reliability of the assembly connection between the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120.
[0118] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first shell 111 and the second shell 121 may both partially overlap the keel, which can effectively improve the stability of the assembly of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 .
[0119] In some embodiments, the second heat exchange component 120 can use a new type of mixed refrigerant system, which is green and environmentally friendly, and the cooling and heating system is small in size. In other embodiments, the second heat exchange component 120 can be combined with different types of first heat exchange components 110 and panel components 140 to form a variety of different types of air conditioners 100, which have large compatibility and expansion space. For example, the second heat exchange component 120 can be combined with the embedded indoor unit (first heat exchange component 110) of the existing split machine, the ceiling indoor unit, the rectangular panel, the embedded panel, etc., with a large selection space, a variety of variations, strong applicability, and easier to meet the user's personalized customization needs. In other embodiments, the second heat exchange component 120 can meet the large cooling capacity requirements of 1.5 horsepower (i.e., the rated cooling capacity of 3500W). If the cooling capacity is reduced, the overall size can be further reduced, or replaced with a conventional refrigerant.
[0120] Reference Figure 7 The second embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning installation mechanism 10, which includes the air conditioner 100 of the above embodiment and a ceiling 20. The connecting component 130 can respectively connect the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. The first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can be respectively connected to the ceiling 30.
[0121] Reference Figures 7 to 9 , the specific setting of the suspended ceiling 20 is introduced below. The suspended ceiling 20 is connected to the ceiling 30 and is located at the lower side of the ceiling 30. The ceiling 30 can be a floor on the top side of the room. It should be noted that the suspended ceiling 20 includes a fixed bracket 21 and a plurality of hanging plates 22. The fixed bracket 21 defines a plurality of installation openings 23, each hanging plate 22 can be connected to the fixed bracket 21, and each hanging plate 22 can cover each installation opening 23 accordingly. Furthermore, the fixed bracket 21 can be composed of a plurality of keels arranged in a criss-cross pattern.
[0122] The air conditioner installation mechanism 10 of this solution can improve the applicable scenarios of the air conditioner 100 (for example, the air conditioner 100 can be installed in a scenario where there is no installation structure reserved for installing the air conditioner 100 outdoors, such as the kitchen). On the other hand, since the installer does not need to set up a safety rope to install the second heat exchange component 120 outdoors when installing the second heat exchange component 120, the installation difficulty of the second heat exchange component 120 is also reduced. Further, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 in the air conditioner 100 in this solution can be installed separately. During the specific installation, the first heat exchange component 110 can be installed first, and then the second heat exchange component 120 can be installed. When the connecting component 130 connects the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, during the installation process, when the size of the installation opening 23 of the fixed bracket 21 in the ceiling 20 is small, it is more convenient to install the air conditioner 100, and the size requirement of the installation opening 23 is relatively low. Furthermore, since the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are suitable for being spaced apart, the arrangement position of the second heat exchange component 120 is not restricted by the position of the first heat exchange component 110. The second heat exchange component 120 can be arranged in correspondence with the position of the exhaust vent of the building connected to the outdoors. The position arrangement of the second heat exchange component 120 is more flexible, which reduces the difficulty of installing the pipe components respectively connected to the second heat exchange component 120 and the exhaust vent.
[0123] Reference Figures 8 to 14 , the specific installation arrangement of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 is described below. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 The first heat exchange assembly 110 can be installed upward from the bottom of the fixed bracket 21 in the installation opening 23, and the first heat exchange assembly 110 is set in the space between the fixed bracket 21 and the ceiling 30. The second heat exchange assembly 120 can be installed upward from the bottom of the fixed bracket 21 in the installation opening 23, and the second heat exchange assembly 120 is set in the space between the fixed bracket 21 and the ceiling 30. In this solution, the installation operation of the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 is convenient and quick, and can be installed in a hidden manner, which can improve the user's perception, and there is no need to reserve an external unit position for the air conditioner 100, and there is no need to hang an external air conditioner.
[0124] Reference Fig.12, the following describes the installation process of the first heat exchange component 110, the second heat exchange component 120 and the connecting component 130 relative to the fixed bracket 21. In some embodiments, the fixed bracket 21 defines a first mounting port 23a and a second mounting port 23b. Among them, the first heat exchange component 110 can be arranged above the first mounting port 23a, and the second heat exchange component 120 can be arranged above the second mounting port 23b. The connecting component 130 can be arranged between the fixed bracket 21 and the ceiling 30, that is, the first heat exchange component 110, the second heat exchange component 120 and the connecting component 130 of this solution can all be installed in a hidden manner, which can enhance the user's perception.
[0125] Reference Fig. 9 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 The specific relative positions of the first mounting opening 23a and the second mounting opening 23b are described below. Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the first mounting opening 23a and the second mounting opening 23b are arranged adjacent to each other in the transverse direction, that is, the first mounting opening 23a and the second mounting opening 23b are separated by only a single keel, and the distance between the first mounting opening 23a and the second mounting opening 23b is relatively small. Fig.13 In other embodiments, the fixed bracket 21 also has a third mounting port 23c, and the third mounting port 23c is located between the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b, that is, the distance between the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b is large. In other embodiments, the fixed bracket 21 also has a third mounting port 23c and a fourth mounting port 23, and the third mounting port 23c and the fourth mounting port 23 can be arranged adjacent to each other, and the third mounting port 23c and the fourth mounting port 23 are both located between the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b. The specific relative position of the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b can be determined according to the actual situation. The first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b of this solution have multiple relative positions, that is, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 have multiple installation positions, which can be fixed in a suitable position according to the layout of the ceiling of the user's room, that is, there are many optional installation positions, which can meet the various installation requirements of various installation scenarios and adapt to the personalized customization needs of users.
[0126] Reference Figures 8 to 14, the specific installation setting of the first heat exchange component 110 at the first mounting port 23a is introduced below. In some embodiments, for the convenience of description and understanding, the first mounting port 23a is set to form a first projection on the horizontal plane, and the first heat exchange component 110 forms a second projection on the horizontal plane. Among them, the second projection is located within the first projection, that is, the projection area of the second projection is smaller than the projection area of the first projection. In other words, the vertical cross-sectional dimension of the first heat exchange component 110 is smaller than the opening dimension of the first mounting port 23a. That is, the first heat exchange component 110 can be directly installed through the first mounting port 23a vertically, and this solution can ensure the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the first heat exchange component 110.
[0127] The specific installation setting of the first heat exchange component 110 at the first mounting port 23a is introduced below. In some embodiments, the first heat exchange component 110 can be in contact with the upper end of the fixed bracket 21, or can be spaced from the upper end of the fixed bracket 21. For ease of description and understanding, the first mounting port 23a is set to form a first projection on the horizontal plane, and the first heat exchange component 110 forms a second projection on the horizontal plane. Among them, the first projection is located within the second projection, or the second projection partially overlaps with the first projection, that is, the projection area of the second projection is larger than the projection area of the first projection. In other words, the vertical cross-sectional area of the first heat exchange component 110 is larger than the opening size of the first mounting port 23a. That is, the first heat exchanger 112 can be set to a larger volume, which can enhance the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100.
[0128] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the dimension of the first shell 111 in the transverse direction is larger than the dimension of the first installation opening 23a, when installing the first heat exchange assembly 110, only a single hanging plate 22 can be disassembled to expose a single first installation opening 23a. Specifically, the first shell 111 is tilted in the transverse direction, so that the first installation opening 23a is firstly penetrated at the end of the first shell 111 located at a higher position in the transverse direction, and then the first shell 111 is pushed in the transverse direction, and then the first installation opening 23a is penetrated at the end of the first shell 111 located at a lower position in the transverse direction, so that the first heat exchange assembly 110 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the ceiling 20. In other embodiments, when the dimension of the first shell 111 in the transverse direction is much larger than the dimension of the first installation opening 23a, a larger volume of the first heat exchanger 112 can be installed to enhance the heat exchange effect. At this time, the keel can be directly cut during installation, so that multiple first installation openings 23a can be interconnected, thereby realizing the installation of the first heat exchange assembly 110.
[0129] Reference Figures 8 to 14, the specific installation setting of the second heat exchange component 120 at the second mounting port 23b is introduced below. In some embodiments, for ease of description and understanding, the second mounting port 23b is set to form a third projection on the horizontal plane, and the second heat exchange component 120 forms a fourth projection on the horizontal plane. Among them, the fourth projection is located within the third projection, that is, the projection area of the fourth projection is smaller than the projection area of the third projection. In other words, the vertical cross-sectional dimension of the second heat exchange component 120 is smaller than the opening dimension of the second mounting port 23b. That is, the second heat exchange component 120 can be directly installed through the second mounting port 23b vertically, and this solution can ensure the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the second heat exchange component 120.
[0130] The specific installation setting of the second heat exchange component 120 at the second mounting port 23b is introduced below. In some embodiments, the second heat exchange component 120 can be abutted against the upper end of the fixed bracket 21, or can be spaced from the upper end of the fixed bracket 21. For ease of description and understanding, the second mounting port 23b is set to form a third projection on the horizontal plane, and the second heat exchange component 120 forms a fourth projection on the horizontal plane. Among them, the fourth projection is located within the third projection, or the third projection and the fourth projection partially overlap, that is, the projection area of the third projection is greater than the projection area of the fourth projection. In other words, the vertical cross-sectional area of the second heat exchange component 120 is greater than the opening size of the second mounting port 23b. That is, the second heat exchanger 122 can be set to a larger volume, which can enhance the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100.
[0131] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the size of the second shell 121 in the transverse direction is larger than the size of the second installation opening 23b, when installing the first heat exchange assembly 110, only a single hanging plate 22 can be disassembled to expose a single second installation opening 23b. Specifically, the second shell 121 is tilted in the transverse direction, so that the second installation opening 23b is first penetrated at the end of the second shell 121 located at a higher position in the transverse direction, and then the second shell 121 is pushed in the transverse direction, and then the second installation opening 23b is penetrated at the end of the second shell 121 located at a lower position in the transverse direction, so that the first heat exchange assembly 110 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20. In other embodiments, when the size of the second shell 121 in the transverse direction is much larger than the size of the second installation opening 23b, a larger volume of the first heat exchanger 112 can be installed to enhance the heat exchange effect. At this time, the keel can be directly cut during installation, that is, multiple second installation openings 23b can be connected to each other, thereby realizing the installation of the second heat exchange assembly 120.
[0132] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) involved in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. When a directional reference is introduced in a specific embodiment, if the direction is not specifically limited to unidirectional, the direction can be unidirectional or bidirectional (two directions parallel to each other and opposite to each other). Whether it is unidirectional or bidirectional is based on what can be achieved by ordinary technicians in this field. When the directional reference is bidirectional, it should be considered that two different parallel embodiments are introduced at the same time.
[0133] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if "and / or", "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
[0134] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
