[0051] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 A sensor assembly 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0052] Reference Figure 1-Figure 9 The sensor assembly 50 includes a sensor 60 and a mounting bracket 70, and the sensor 60 has a first buckle 61. The mounting bracket 70 has a first mounting groove 71, and the sensor 60 is detachably mounted in the first mounting groove 71. The sensor 60 can be removed from the first mounting groove 71, and the mounting bracket 70 can be used to protect the sensor 60 from external damage. For example, the sensor 60 can be mounted in the first mounting groove 71 by snapping, which can facilitate the installation or removal of the sensor 60. When the sensor 60 or the mounting bracket 70 is damaged, only the damaged sensor 60 or the damaged mounting bracket 70 can be replaced, and the entire sensor assembly 50 does not need to be replaced, which can reduce the maintenance or replacement cost of the sensor assembly 50.

[0053] The mounting bracket 70 also has a window 72, which is connected to the first mounting groove 71, and the first buckle 61 is suitable for extending from the window 72 for mounting the sensor assembly 50. By providing the first buckle 61 on the sensor 60, the sensor assembly 50 can be quickly mounted or disassembled, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the sensor assembly 50; it is also convenient for the later repair or maintenance of the sensor assembly 50, thereby improving the repair or maintenance efficiency of the sensor assembly 50. For example, the sensor 60 can be an air conditioning refrigerant sensor for detecting the pressure and temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant, and the sensor assembly 50 can be fixed to the air conditioner 100 by the first buckle 61.

[0054] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the sensor assembly 50 includes a sensor 60 and a mounting bracket 70. The mounting bracket 70 can be used to protect the sensor 60 from external damage, and the first buckle 61 of the sensor 60 is suitable for extending through the window 72 of the mounting bracket 70 to fix the sensor assembly 50. The sensor assembly 50 can be quickly installed or removed, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the sensor assembly 50.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 9 There are multiple first buckles 61, and the multiple first buckles 61 are spaced apart. When the sensor assembly 50 is used, one first buckle 61 may become loose, causing the sensor assembly 50 to be loosely installed and easily fall off. The sensor 60 is provided with multiple first buckles 61 spaced apart, which can increase the reliability and firmness of installing the sensor assembly 50. For example, the sensor 60 can be provided with two first buckles 61 spaced apart, which can ensure the reliability of the installation of the sensor assembly 50 without taking up too much space.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 6 , Fig. 9 The sensor 60 has a bottom surface and a top surface 62, the bottom surface and the top surface 62 are arranged opposite to each other, the bottom surface is in contact with the bottom of the first mounting groove 71, and the top surface 62 is located at the opening of the first mounting groove 71. The opening of the first mounting groove 71 has a limiting rib 73, and the limiting rib 73 extends toward the top surface 62. The limiting rib 73 is used to limit the sensor 60 to prevent the sensor 60 from falling off from the first mounting groove 71.

[0057] For example, there are two limiting ribs 73, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the opening of the first mounting groove 71, so as to limit the sensor 60 on opposite sides of the opening of the first mounting groove 71, and further improve the reliability of the sensor 60 installed in the first mounting groove 71.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 6 , Fig. 9 There is an arc structure 63 with an arc transition between the top surface 62 of the sensor 60 and the side surface of the sensor 60, that is, a chamfer is set between the top surface 62 of the sensor 60 and the side surface of the sensor 60, which can not only avoid stress concentration between the top surface 62 of the sensor 60 and the side surface of the sensor 60, but also avoid the installer from scratching himself when installing the sensor 60, which can protect the installer to a certain extent.

[0059] The limiting retaining edge 73 is an arc-shaped plate-like structure 731, which fits the arc-shaped plate-like structure 731 with the arc-shaped structure 63, and can better limit the position of the sensor 60, that is, it can prevent the sensor 60 from falling off from the first mounting groove 71, and can also prevent the sensor 60 from shaking in the first mounting groove 71. For example, the sensor 60 is suitable for being installed in the first mounting groove 71 through the opening of the first mounting groove 71, and the arc length of the arc-shaped plate-like structure 731 is less than the arc length of the arc-shaped structure 63, which can ensure the opening size of the first mounting groove 71; when installing the sensor 60, the arc-shaped plate-like structure 731 can be elastically deformed, which can facilitate the sensor 60 to be installed in the first mounting groove 71 through the opening of the first mounting groove 71.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 2 , Fig. 9 The sensor 60 also has a second buckle 641, and the mounting bracket 70 has a second slot 74. The second buckle 641 is engaged with the second slot 74, and the sensor 60 can be further fixed to the first mounting slot 71. For example, there can be a plurality of second buckles 641, and the plurality of second buckles 641 can be arranged at intervals, and the plurality of second buckles 641 can be arranged at intervals along the direction from the bottom surface of the sensor 60 to the top surface 62; there can also be a plurality of second slots 74, and the plurality of second slots 74 can be arranged at intervals, and the plurality of second slots 74 can be arranged at intervals along the direction from the bottom of the first mounting slot 71 to the opening of the first mounting slot 71; the number of second buckles 641 and second slots 74 is equal and corresponds to each other, and the plurality of second buckles 641 and the plurality of second slots 74 can increase the firmness of the sensor 60 installed in the first mounting slot 71.

[0061] For another example, the second buckle 641 may be a protrusion provided on the sensor 60, and the second slot 74 may be a notch provided on the mounting bracket 70. When the sensor 60 is installed in the first mounting slot 71, the protrusion on the sensor 60 may be accommodated in the notch on the mounting bracket 70, so as to limit the position of the sensor 60. When the sensor 60 is installed in the first mounting slot 71, the mounting bracket 70 may be slightly elastically deformed to facilitate the installation of the sensor 60. When the mounting bracket 70 is reset, the second buckle 641 on the sensor 60 is accommodated in the first mounting slot 71.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , the first buckle 61 is located on the first side of the sensor 60, and the second buckle 641 is located on the second side 64 of the sensor 60. The first side and the second side 64 are not coplanar, so the installation positions of the first buckle 61 and the second buckle 641 can be reasonably arranged, which is convenient for the arrangement of the first buckle 61 and the second buckle 641. If the first buckle 61 and the second buckle 641 are located on the same side of the sensor 60, the first buckle 61 and the second buckle 641 will occupy a certain area, which is not convenient for the arrangement of the first buckle 61 and the second buckle 641; if the first buckle 61 and the second buckle 641 are located on the same side of the sensor 60, the force of the sensor 60 installed in the first installation groove 71 will be in the same direction as the force of the sensor assembly 50, which is not conducive to the force distribution of the sensor 60. For example, the first side and the second side 64 can be arranged adjacent to each other, or the first side and the second side 64 can be arranged opposite to each other.

[0063] The sensor mounting structure 30 according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention comprises a sensor assembly 50 and a mounting base 40 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention. The mounting base 40 has a second mounting groove 4, and the second mounting groove 4 is used to accommodate the sensor assembly 50. The second mounting groove 4 has a first card slot 411 therein, and the first clip 61 is snap-connected with the first card slot 411 to facilitate the installation of the sensor assembly 50.

[0064] There are multiple first clips 61, which are spaced apart from each other; there are multiple first card slots 411, which are spaced apart from each other; the number of second clips 641 and second card slots 74 is equal and corresponds one to one; the multiple first clips 61 and the multiple first card slots 411 can increase the firmness of the sensor 60 installed in the second installation slot 4.

[0065] According to the sensor installation structure 30 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned sensor assembly 50 , the installation or disassembly of the sensor assembly 50 can be facilitated, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the sensor assembly 50 .

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 9 The first buckle 61 extends from one side of the mounting bracket 70 so that the first buckle 61 can be engaged with the first slot 411. The side surface of the other side of the mounting bracket 70 is the third side surface 75. The third side surface 75 is suitable for fitting with the side wall of the second mounting slot 4. The sensor assembly 50 can be tightly installed in the second mounting slot 4 to prevent the sensor assembly 50 from falling off from the second mounting slot 4 or the sensor assembly 50 from shaking in the second mounting slot 4.

[0067] For example, the first buckle 61 is located on the first side of the sensor 60, and the third side 75 is arranged opposite to the first side. The first buckle 61 on the first side can limit the installation position of the sensor assembly 50, and the third side 75 is suitable for fitting with the side wall of the second installation groove 4, so as to limit the sensor assembly 50 in two opposite directions, thereby increasing the firmness of the installation of the sensor assembly 50.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 9 The first side wall 41 of the second mounting groove 4 is provided with a first clamping groove 411, the second side wall 42 of the second mounting groove 4 is in contact with the third side surface 75, and the first side wall 41 and the second side wall 42 are arranged opposite to each other. The angle between the first side wall 41 and the bottom surface of the mounting seat 40 is an obtuse angle, and the angle between the second side wall 42 and the bottom surface of the mounting seat 40 is an acute angle. The sensor assembly 50 is in contact with the bottom surface of the mounting seat 40, that is, the sensor assembly 50 is installed at an angle, which can reduce the height of the sensor assembly 50 and reduce the space occupied by the sensor assembly 50 in the height direction.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 9 The angle a between the second side wall 42 and the bottom surface of the mounting seat 40 satisfies: 60°≤a≤65°, that is, the space occupied by the sensor assembly 50 in the height direction can be reduced without occupying too much space in the width direction of the sensor assembly 50.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4-Figure 7 , Fig. 9 The first side wall 41 and the second side wall 42 are parallel, that is, the sum of the angle between the first side wall 41 and the bottom surface of the mounting seat 40 and the angle between the second side wall 42 and the bottom surface of the mounting seat 40 is 180°, which can facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the mounting seat 40.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4-Figure 7 In the depth direction of the second mounting groove 4, the groove depth of the second mounting groove 4 is H1, and the height of the mounting bracket 70 is H2, satisfying: H1 / H2≥1 / 3, the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 70 is in contact with the groove bottom of the second mounting groove 4, and the second mounting groove 4 is fixed to 1 / 3 of the mounting bracket 70, or the second mounting groove 4 is fixed to more than 1 / 3 of the mounting bracket 70. The second mounting groove 4 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting bracket 70, which can facilitate the fixing of the sensor assembly 50.

[0072] For example, the height H1 of the mounting bracket 70 is the distance from the bottom surface of the mounting bracket 70 to the top surface 62 of the mounting bracket 70. The relationship between the groove depth H1 of the second mounting groove 4 and the height H2 of the mounting bracket 70 can be: H1 / H2=1 / 3, H1 / H2=2 / 5, H1 / H2=1 / 2 or H1 / H2=3 / 5, etc.

[0073] The air conditioner 100 according to the third embodiment of the present invention comprises the sensor mounting structure 30 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned sensor mounting structure 30 , the sensor assembly 50 can be quickly mounted on the mounting seat 40 of the air conditioner 100 , thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the sensor assembly 50 .

[0075] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 9 The air conditioner 100 includes a mouse-proof plate 20, and the mouse-proof plate 20 includes a mouse-proof plate body 2 and a mounting seat 40, and the mounting seat 40 is arranged on the mouse-proof plate body 2. The sensor assembly 50 can be installed in the mounting seat 40, that is, the sensor assembly 50 can be installed on the mouse-proof plate 20. The sensor assembly 50 is installed by utilizing the spatial position of the mouse-proof plate 20, which can save the space occupied by the sensor assembly 50 and facilitate the operation of the sensor 60.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 8 The rat-proof plate 20 is an integrally formed part, which can ensure the structural stability of the rat-proof plate 20 and can also save the process of installing the mounting seat 40 to the rat-proof plate body 2, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 8 The air conditioner 100 further includes a chassis 10, and a rat-proof plate 20 is detachably mounted on the chassis 10. The rat-proof plate 20 can be removed from the chassis 10, which can facilitate the installation or removal of the rat-proof plate 20. When the rat-proof plate 20 is damaged, the rat-proof plate 20 can be removed from the chassis 10 and repaired or replaced.

[0078] The sensor assembly 50 is installed on the mounting base 40 of the rat-proof plate 20. When the sensor assembly 50 or the rat-proof plate 20 is damaged, only the damaged sensor assembly 50 or the damaged rat-proof plate 20 is replaced. There is no need to replace all the sensor assembly 50 and the rat-proof plate 20, which can reduce the maintenance or replacement cost.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 8The mouse-proof plate 20 has a third buckle 21 and a fourth buckle, which are respectively located at two opposite sides of the mouse-proof plate 20.

When the mouse-proof plate 20 is installed on the chassis 10, the mouse-proof plate 20 can be slightly elastically deformed to install the mouse-proof plate 20 on the chassis 10, and the mouse-proof plate 20 is reset, and the third card slot 21 can be inserted into the third card slot 12, and the fourth card slot can be inserted into the fourth card slot, so as to fix the mouse-proof plate 20 to the chassis 10.

[0080] For example, the third clip 21 and the fourth clip can both be protrusions set on the rat-proof plate 20, and the third slot 12 and the fourth slot can be grooves set on the chassis 10. The third clip 21 is engaged with the third slot 12, and the fourth clip is engaged with the fourth slot, that is, the protrusion on the rat-proof plate 20 is engaged with the groove on the chassis 10.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 8 The chassis 10 has a first positioning plate 11 and a second positioning plate, both of which extend toward the mouse-proof plate 20. The first positioning plate 11 and the second positioning plate are respectively located on opposite sides of the mouse-proof plate 20.
