[0002] At present, the heat pump on the market is generally a whole structure composed of a simple stacking of a water module and an air conditioner outdoor unit. The internal space of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the internal space of the water module are independent of each other, so that the internal space of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the internal space of the water module cannot be reasonably integrated, resulting in an uncompact structure and occupying a large installation space.

[0015] The water module electric control box and the water pump are arranged above and below the right side of the second chamber, thereby further improving the space utilization rate of the second chamber and further saving space.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the water pump is below the expansion tank.

[0017] The expansion tank and the water pump are arranged above and below, thereby further improving the space utilization rate.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the integrated heat pump further comprises a sound insulation cover, the sound insulation cover is arranged on the left side of the second chamber, and the compressor is arranged inside the sound insulation cover.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the water module assembly further comprises a plate heat exchanger, and the plate heat exchanger is arranged close to the right side of the sound insulation cover.

[0021] The plate heat exchanger is arranged close to the right side of the sound insulation cover, participates in surrounding the intermediate space, and improves the compactness of the structure.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the integrated heat pump further comprises a bracket, the bracket is vertically arranged on the front side of the second chamber, the electric heater is arranged on the bracket, and the plate heat exchanger is below the electric heater.

[0023] The electric heater and the plate heat exchanger are arranged in an up-down manner, which can further improve the space utilization and make the overall structure more compact.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 the structure diagram of the integrated heat pump 100 provided by the present embodiment is shown in Figure 2 the structure diagram of Figure 1a structural schematic diagram of a partial structure in the first view angle, Figure 3 as shown in Figure 1 a structural schematic diagram of a partial structure in the second view angle.

[0045] The overall heat pump 100 provided by the embodiment comprises a box body 110, a fan 120, a compressor (not shown in the figure), a refrigerant-side electric control box 130, a water module pipeline 140, and a water module assembly. The water module assembly comprises a water module electric control box 151, an expansion tank 152, an electric heater 153, a water pump 154, and a plate heat exchanger 155. The expansion tank 152, the electric heater 153, the water pump 154, and the plate heat exchanger 155 are all arranged on the water module pipeline 140.

[0046] The overall heat pump 100 further comprises a wind partitioning vertical plate 160 vertically arranged in the box body 110. The wind partitioning vertical plate 160 divides the internal space of the box body 110 into a first chamber 111 and a second chamber 112 which are distributed in a left-to-right manner. The fan 120 is arranged in the first chamber 111, the compressor, the water module pipeline 140, and the water module assembly are arranged in the second chamber 112, and the refrigerant-side electric control box 130 is arranged on the top of the wind partitioning vertical plate 160.

[0047] The box body 110 comprises a bottom plate 113, a front panel, a rear side plate 114, a right side plate 115, an evaporator 116, and a top cover (not shown in the figure). The front panel, the rear side plate 114, the right side plate 115, the evaporator 116, and the wind partitioning vertical plate 160 are all arranged between the bottom plate 113 and the top cover. The front panel and the rear side plate 114 are arranged opposite to each other in the front-to-rear direction, and the wind partitioning vertical plate 160 and the right side plate 115 are arranged opposite to each other in the left-to-right direction.

[0048] The left side of the wind partitioning vertical plate 160, the front panel, and the evaporator 116 jointly enclose the first chamber 111, and the right side of the wind partitioning vertical plate 160, the front panel, the rear side plate 114, and the right side plate 115 jointly enclose the second chamber 112. In the embodiment, the front panel comprises a fan 120 grille participating in enclosing the first chamber 111 and a small panel 117 participating in enclosing the second chamber 112.

[0049] In the embodiment, the water module electric control box 151 is arranged on the right side of the second chamber 112, the expansion tank 152 is arranged on the rear side of the second chamber 112, the compressor is arranged on the left side of the second chamber 112, the electric heater 153 is arranged on the front side of the second chamber 112, and the water module pipeline 140 is arranged in the space enclosed by the water module electric control box 151, the expansion tank 152, the compressor, and the electric heater 153.

[0050] It can be seen that the water module electric control, the expansion tank 152, the compressor and the electric heater 153 are arranged in the second cavity 112, realizing full use of the internal space of the second cavity 112, and forming an intermediate cavity for accommodating the water module pipeline 140. The water module pipeline 140 is accommodated in the intermediate cavity, which can minimize the length of the pipeline and further improve the compactness of the structure. In other words, the overall heat pump 100 provided in the embodiment has the characteristics of more compact structure and smaller installation space.

[0051] Specifically, the water module electric control box 151 is arranged on the right side and upper side of the second cavity 112, and the water pump 154 is arranged on the right side and lower side of the second cavity 112. By arranging the water module electric control box 151 and the water pump 154 in the vertical direction, the utilization rate of the internal space of the second cavity 112 is further improved. Moreover, the length of the connecting cable between the water pump 154 and the water module electric control box 151 can be greatly reduced, further improving the compactness of the structure.

[0052] Moreover, the water pump 154 is below the expansion tank 152. It can be understood that the water pump 154 is actually at the bottom of the right rear side of the second cavity 112, and the water pump 154 is actually mounted on the rear side plate 114, realizing full use of the included angle space on the right rear side of the second cavity 112.

[0053] The overall heat pump 100 further comprises a soundproof cover 170, which is arranged on the left side of the second cavity 112, and the compressor is arranged inside the soundproof cover 170. The soundproof cover 170 is actually a sandwich structure, and a sound insulation material is arranged in the sandwich.

[0054] In actual application, the compressor generates a large noise when it operates. In the embodiment, the compressor is accommodated in the soundproof cover 170, realizing effective shielding of the noise of the compressor, thereby significantly improving the user experience.

[0055] In the embodiment, the plate heat exchanger 155 is arranged close to the right side of the soundproof cover 170. In other words, the plate heat exchanger 155 actually forms an intermediate space for accommodating the water module pipeline 140 together with the remaining water module components.

[0056] The overall heat pump 100 further comprises a bracket 180, which is vertically arranged on the front side of the second cavity 112, and the electric heater 153 is arranged on the bracket 180, and the plate heat exchanger 155 is below the electric heater 153.

[0057] In fact, the bracket 180 is arranged on the bottom plate 113, and the inner surface of the small panel 117 is connected with the bracket 180. The bracket 180 plays a role of mounting the electric heater 153 and plays a role of supporting and strengthening the structure of the small panel 117. In the embodiment, the mounting structure 1151 is arranged on the bracket 180 below the electric heater 153 and close to the soundproof cover 170.

[0058] It can be understood that the installation of the plate heat exchanger 155 realizes full use of the space formed by the bracket 180 and the soundproof cover 170, and the plate heat exchanger 155 is below the electric heater 153, which realizes reasonable use of the space below the front side of the second chamber 112, further improves the space utilization of the second chamber 112, and makes the overall structure more compact.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is shown that the structure of the sound insulation vertical plate 160 is shown in the structure diagram.

[0060] For the installation of the refrigerant side electric control box 130 on the sound insulation vertical plate 160, in the embodiment, the top end of the sound insulation vertical plate 160 is provided with a mounting gap 161, and the refrigerant side electric control box 130 is embedded in the mounting gap 161. The bottom of the mounting gap 161 is provided with a support plate 162 which is at an angle with the vertical direction, and the support plate 162 supports the refrigerant side electric control box 130.

[0061] It can be understood that, since the refrigerant side electric control box 130 is embedded in the mounting gap 161 at the top end of the sound insulation vertical plate 160, the refrigerant side electric control box 130 does not occupy too much space in the vertical direction, further improving the compactness of the structure. And the support plate 162 arranged at the bottom of the mounting gap 161 is actually parallel to the horizontal plane, which can reliably support the refrigerant side electric control box 130, so as to ensure the stable installation of the refrigerant side electric control box 130 on the sound insulation vertical plate 160.

[0062] The water module electric control box 151 is on the inner side of the right side plate 115. In the embodiment, the water module electric control box 151 is arranged between the bracket 180 and the rear side plate 114 in the front-rear direction. Specifically, one side of the water module electric control box 151 is matched with the bracket 180, and the side of the water module electric control box 151 away from the bracket 180 is rotatably connected with the cabinet 110, and the rotation center line extends in the vertical direction.

[0063] In fact, the cooperation between the water module electric control box 151 and the bracket 180 realizes the positioning of the water module electric control box 151, so as to facilitate the connection between the water module electric control box 151 and the rear side plate 114, thereby completing the installation of the water module electric control box 151. After the water module electric control box 151 is installed on the rear side plate 114, the water module electric control box 151 can be rotated relative to the rear side plate 114 to a state of cooperation with the bracket 180 and a state of disengagement.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 It is shown that the cooperation structure between the bracket 180 and the water module electric control box 151, Figure 6 It is shown that Figure 5 the enlarged schematic view of the A area in

[0065] The bracket 180 is provided with a positioning portion 181, and the water module electric control box 151 is provided with a cooperation portion 156 away from one side of the rear side plate 114, and the cooperation portion 156 cooperates with the positioning portion 181.

[0066] Specifically, the positioning portion 181 is provided with a plug-in part 1811 extending in the left-right direction, and the cooperation portion 156 is provided with a slot 1561 penetrating through the cooperation portion 156 in the front-rear direction, and the plug-in part 1811 is plugged into the slot 1561.

[0067] It can be understood that before the water module electric control box 151 is installed, the bracket 180 and the rear side plate 114 have been erected on the bottom plate 113 in advance and connected with the bottom plate 113. When installing the water module electric control box 151, first plug the slot 1561 provided on the cooperation portion 156 of the water module electric control box 151 into the plug-in part 1811 provided on the positioning portion 181 of the bracket 180. After the plugging is completed, the plug-in part 1811 supports and positions the water module electric control box 151, and then the side of the water module electric control box 151 away from the cooperation portion 156 is connected with the rear side plate 114, which can ensure the accuracy of the connection position.

[0068] In order to ensure the stability of the support of the plug-in part 1811 to the water module electric control box 151 and the accuracy of the positioning, in the embodiment, the number of plug-in parts 1811 is multiple, and the multiple plug-in parts 1811 are arranged in sequence in the vertical direction; the number of slots 1561 is multiple, and the multiple slots 1561 are arranged in sequence in the vertical direction, and the multiple plug-in parts 1811 and the multiple slots 1561 are plugged in one-to-one correspondence.

[0069] In order to further improve the positioning effect of the support 180 on the water module electric control box 151, in the embodiment, the positioning part 181 has a positioning wall 1812, and the plug-in part 1811 is protruded on the positioning wall 1812; the matching part 156 has a matching wall 1562, and the insertion slot 1561 is throughly arranged on the matching wall 1562, and the positioning wall 1812 is arranged opposite to the matching wall 1562.

[0070] It can be understood that when the plurality of plug-in parts 1811 protruded on the positioning wall 1812 are inserted into the plurality of insertion slots 1561 throughly arranged on the matching wall 1562 one by one, the positioning wall 1812 corresponds to the matching wall 1562, that is, the two almost adhere to each other.

[0071] In this state, on the one hand, the insertion of the plug-in part 1811 and the insertion slot 1561 plays a supporting role on the water module electric control box 151, and on the other hand, the positioning wall 1812 also plays a limiting role on the matching wall 1562 to a certain extent, avoiding the deflection of the matching wall 1562 on the surface of the positioning wall 1812, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the water module electric control box 151 and obtaining better positioning effect.

[0072] In addition, in the embodiment, the matching part 156 also has a connecting wall 1563, the matching wall 1562 is connected with the water module electric control box 151 through the connecting wall 1563, and the matching wall 1562 and the connecting wall 1563 form an angle.

[0073] The matching wall 1562 and the connecting wall 1563 are both sheet metal, the matching wall 1562 is connected with the water module electric control box 151 through the connecting wall 1563, which can realize the adjustment of the state of the matching wall 1562, including the distance between the matching wall 1562 and the water module electric control box 151, the angle between the matching wall 1562 and the water module electric control box 151, etc., to adapt to different assembly conditions.

[0074] In the embodiment, the plug-in part 1811 is in the form of a sheet, the plane where the plug-in part 1811 is located is parallel to the vertical direction, and the insertion slot 1561 is a strip-shaped slot with the length direction parallel to the vertical direction.

[0075] Since the insertion slot 1561 is a strip-shaped slot with the length direction parallel to the vertical direction, in the state of the insertion of the plug-in part 1811 and the insertion slot 1561, the plug-in part 1811 can not only support the water module electric control box 151, but also prevent the water module electric control box 151 from deflecting in the vertical plane, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy.

[0076] It can be seen that the overall heat pump 100 provided by the embodiment has the characteristics of convenient installation and high installation precision of the water module electric control box 151.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 Fig. 3 shows a structural schematic diagram of the partial structure in Fig. 2 from a third perspective, Figure 1 Fig. 4 shows an enlarged schematic diagram of the B region in Fig. 3. Figure 8 Figure 7

[0078] In actual applications, there is a case that the water in the water module pipeline 140 is too much and needs to be drained. The products on the market need to extend the external connector into the inside of the box 110 to connect with the joint reserved in the box 110 for the water module pipeline 140 to drain part of the water in the water module pipeline 140 into the external connector.

[0079] When such products are operated to drain water, the connector operation space is extremely limited due to the arrangement of the internal components of the box 110, which leads to great difficulty in connector operation and time-consuming and laborious water draining operation. In order to solve this problem, the overall heat pump 100 provided in the embodiment further includes a water draining pipeline 190, the water module pipeline 140 is provided with a water draining valve 141, the box 110 is provided with a water draining connector 118, one end of the water draining pipeline 190 is connected with the water draining valve 141, and the other end is connected with the water draining connector 118.

[0080] In actual applications, when the water module pipeline 140 needs to be drained, it only needs to open the water draining valve 141. After the water draining valve 141 is opened, the water in the water module pipeline 140 flows into the water draining pipeline 190 through the water draining valve 141 and flows out to the outside through the water draining pipeline 190 and the water draining connector 118. If the external connector is needed to collect the drained water, it only needs to connect the external connector with the water draining connector 118 provided on the box 110. Since the water draining connector 118 is provided on the box 110, the connector operation is not blocked by the internal components, which is convenient and fast.

[0081] In the embodiment, one end of the water draining pipeline 190 away from the water draining valve 141 is inserted with one end of the water draining connector 118, and the other end of the water draining connector 118 extends to the outside of the box 110. In another embodiment, in order to ensure the reliability and sealing of the connection between the water draining pipeline 190 and the water draining connector 118, various connection methods including threaded connection, welding, etc. can be used between them.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 Fig. 5 shows a structural schematic diagram of the water draining pipeline 190.

[0083] In the embodiment, one end of the water draining pipeline 190 away from the water draining valve 141 is provided with a connecting piece 191, and the connecting piece 191 is connected with the box 110.​​

[0084] In fact, the end of the drain pipeline 190 inserted into the drain nozzle 118 penetrates the connecting piece 191, and the connecting piece 191 is provided with a plurality of through holes distributed around the drain pipeline 190. The box body 110 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of threaded holes distributed around the drain nozzle 118.

[0085] When connecting the drain pipeline 190 and the drain nozzle 118, only the end of the drain pipeline 190 away from the drain valve 141 is inserted into the drain nozzle 118 until the connecting piece 191 contacts the box body 110. At this time, the position of the drain pipeline 190 is adjusted so that the plurality of through holes on the connecting piece 191 correspond to the plurality of threaded holes on the box body 110, respectively. Finally, the connecting piece 191 and the box body 110 are connected and fixed by penetrating the plurality of threaded connections through the plurality of through holes and screwing into the plurality of threaded holes, thereby completing the locking of the drain pipeline 190 and the drain nozzle 118.

[0086] In this embodiment, the box body 110 further includes an expansion tank mounting plate 119. Please refer to Figure 10 Figure 10 for a structural schematic view of the expansion tank mounting plate 119.

[0087] The expansion tank mounting plate 119 is arranged on the inner surface of the rear side plate 114, the expansion tank 152 is mounted on the expansion tank mounting plate 119, and the rear side plate 114 is provided with a through hole 1141, and the drain nozzle 118 penetrates the through hole 1141, that is, extends to the outside of the box body 110.

[0088] It can be understood that through the insertion and cooperation of the drain nozzle 118 and the through hole 1141, the positioning of the expansion tank mounting plate 119 on the rear side plate 114 is realized, which ensures that the expansion tank mounting plate can be quickly mounted on the rear side plate 114, reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0089] In another embodiment, according to the actual application condition, the drain nozzle 118 can also be arranged at other parts of the box body 110.

[0090] In fact, in this embodiment, the drain valve 141 is arranged on the pipe section between the water pump 154 and the electric heater 153 on the water module pipeline 140. And in the left-right direction, the water module electric control box 151 corresponds to the drain valve 141, and the water module electric control box 151 can be rotated relative to the rear side plate 114 to an open state of the second cavity 112 to expose the drain valve 141.

[0091] It can be understood that in actual application, only the right side plate 115 of the box body 110 needs to be opened, and the water module electric control box 151 is rotated to an open state of the second cavity 112, so that the user can stretch his hand into the second cavity 112 and directly reach the drain valve 141, without being blocked by other components in the middle, which is convenient and fast.​

[0092] In the embodiment, the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the water module pipeline 140 are arranged on the side of the cabinet 110 where the drain nozzle 118 is located, and in the vertical direction, the drain nozzle 118 is above the water inlet end and the water outlet end. In other words, the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the water module pipeline 140 are arranged on the rear side plate 114 of the cabinet 110 at a position below the drain nozzle 118.

[0093] In order to facilitate the connection of the drain nozzle 118 and the external pipe, in the embodiment, the outer surface of the drain nozzle 118 is provided with a pipe connection structure 1181, which is used to cooperate with the external pipe to make the drain nozzle 118 communicate with the external pipe.

[0094] As a preferred, the pipe connection structure 1181 is external thread, in other embodiments, the pipe connection structure 1181 can be adjusted according to the actual application conditions, for example, it can be adjusted to a concave-convex structure convenient for plug-in connection with the external pipe.

[0095] It can be seen that the overall heat pump 100 provided in the embodiment has the characteristics of convenient water drainage of the water module pipeline 140, and the water drainage operation is time-saving and labor-saving.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 is a schematic view of the connection structure of the small panel 117 and the support 180, Figure 12 is Figure 11 an enlarged schematic view of the C area in

[0097] In the embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection of the right side plate 115 and the small panel 117 and ensure that the connection effect is stable and reliable, the support 180 is used as the support structure of the small panel 117 in advance, so that the small panel 117 can be erected on the bottom plate 113 in a stable state.

[0098] Specifically, the right side edge of the small panel 117 is provided with a mounting flange 1171, which is used to establish a connection with the right side plate 115, and the right side edge of the support 180 is provided with a positioning wall 1812 which is attached to and connected with the mounting flange 1171.

[0099] It can be understood that since the small panel 117 is in a plate-shaped structure and has a certain height in the vertical direction, even if the bottom of the small panel 117 is connected with the bottom plate 113, it may still shake left and right when connected with the right side plate 115, which increases the difficulty of installing the right side plate 115 and makes the fixation of the right side plate 115 unreliable after completion.

[0100] In the embodiment, the support 180 is erected on the bottom plate 113, and the positioning wall 1812 provided at the right side edge of the support 180 is attached to and connected with the mounting folded edge 1171 of the small panel 117. The support 180 plays a role of structural reinforcement and support for the mounting folded edge 1171 of the small panel 117, and ensures that the small panel 117 remains in a stable state during assembly of the right side plate 115 to the small panel 117.

[0101] In the embodiment, the mounting folded edge 1171 and the positioning wall 1812 are connected by screws. In other embodiments, according to actual application conditions, the mounting folded edge 1171 and the positioning wall 1812 can also be connected by other connection methods including welding and bonding.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 13 for the connection structure schematic diagram of the small panel 117, the support 180 and the right side plate 115, Figure 14 for the enlarged schematic diagram of the D area in Figure 13 , and Figure 15 for the enlarged schematic diagram of the E area in Figure 13 .

[0103] In the embodiment, the mounting slot 1172 is provided through the mounting folded edge 1171, and the mounting piece 1151 is provided at the front side edge of the right side plate 115 and is inserted into the mounting slot 1172. It can be understood that before the right side plate 115 is assembled, the support 180 has been erected on the bottom plate 113, and the small panel 117 has been connected with the support 180, that is, the small panel 117 has been in a state of being supported by the support 180.

[0104] Therefore, when the right side plate 115 is assembled to the small panel 117, it is only necessary to align and insert the mounting piece 1151 provided at the front side edge of the right side plate 115 with the mounting slot 1172 provided at the mounting folded edge 1171 of the small panel 117. In this process, the small panel 117 and the mounting folded edge 1171 are stable, and the insertion operation can be easily completed, and the insertion structure is stable and reliable.

[0105] In order to improve the reliability of the connection structure of the small panel 117 and the right side plate 115, in the embodiment, the number of mounting slots 1172 is multiple, and the multiple mounting slots 1172 are arranged in the vertical direction in sequence and at intervals. The number of mounting pieces 1151 is multiple, and the multiple mounting pieces 1151 are arranged in the vertical direction in sequence and at intervals, and the multiple mounting pieces 1151 and the multiple mounting slots 1172 are one-to-one inserted.

[0106] It can be understood that, in addition to the small panel 117, the right side plate 115 also needs to establish a connection with the rear side plate 114 to complete the right side cover of the second cavity 112. In the embodiment, the rear side edge of the right side plate 115 is also provided with a mounting piece 1151, and the mounting piece 1151 provided on the rear side edge of the right side plate 115 is inserted with the rear side plate 114.

[0107] In fact, the right side edge of the rear side plate 114 is also provided with a folded edge, and a plurality of mounting grooves 1172 are also provided through the folded edge. The plurality of mounting pieces 1151 provided on the rear side edge of the right side plate 115 are also inserted with the plurality of mounting grooves 1172 on the folded edge of the rear side plate 114.

[0108] In the embodiment, the mounting groove 1172 is a strip-shaped groove with the length direction parallel to the vertical direction, and the mounting piece 1151 is in the form of a sheet, and the plane where the mounting piece 1151 is located is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0109] It can be understood that, since the mounting groove 1172 is a strip-shaped groove with the length direction parallel to the vertical direction, in the state that the sheet-shaped mounting piece 1151 is inserted with the mounting groove 1172, the mounting piece 1151 is limited by the groove wall of the mounting groove 1172, which can prevent the right side plate 115 from rotating relative to the small panel 117.

[0110] In addition, the upper side edge of the mounting piece 1151 is provided with a clamping notch 1152, and the upper side groove edge of the mounting groove 1172 is embedded in the clamping notch 1152.

[0111] In fact, when the mounting piece 1151 is inserted into the mounting groove 1172, the top of the mounting piece 1151 is actually below the upper side groove edge of the mounting groove 1172, that is, the mounting piece 1151 is completely within the range surrounded by the mounting groove 1172, so as to ensure that the mounting piece 1151 can be smoothly inserted. After the mounting piece 1151 passes through the mounting groove 1172, the right side plate 115 is lifted up, the mounting piece 1151 moves upward in the mounting groove 1172 until the clamping notch 1152 clamps the upper side groove edge of the mounting groove 1172. In this state, the state of the right side plate 115 is fixed through other connection structures configured, and the installation of the right side plate 115 is completed, and the water module electric control box 151 is blocked inside.

[0112] Since the clamping notch 1152 and the upper side groove edge of the mounting groove 1172 are in a clamping state, the mounting piece 1151 cannot exit the mounting groove 1172 horizontally to the right, that is, there is an additional locking structure between the right side plate 115 and the small panel 117, which can further improve the stability of the connection structure of the right side plate 115 and the small panel 117.

[0113] In order to further ensure the reliability of the mounting piece 1151 and the mounting slot 1172 plug-in structure, in the embodiment, a reinforcing rib is arranged on the mounting piece 1151 to ensure the strength of the mounting piece 1151.

[0114] It can be understood that since the plurality of mounting slots 1172 are arranged on the mounting folded edge 1171 in the vertical direction, and the positioning wall 1812 of the bracket 180 is attached to the inner side of the mounting folded edge 1171, the positioning wall 1812 will inevitably cover part of the mounting slot 1172, thereby blocking the corresponding mounting piece 1151 from being plugged in. In order to solve this problem, in the embodiment, an avoiding slot 1814 is arranged on the positioning wall 1812 corresponding to the mounting slot 1172, and the projection of the mounting slot 1172 on the plane where the positioning wall 1812 is located is within the range surrounded by the avoiding slot 1814.

[0115] In fact, the number of the mounting slots 1172 is multiple, part of the mounting slots 1172 is arranged opposite to the positioning wall 1812, and the remaining part of the mounting slots 1172 is arranged staggered to the positioning wall 1812. For the mounting slot 1172 arranged opposite to the positioning wall 1812, the corresponding mounting piece 1151 passes through the mounting slot 1172, and then continues to pass through the avoiding slot 1814 arranged on the positioning wall 1812, so that the plug-in can be successfully completed.

[0116] It can be seen that the overall heat pump 100 provided by the embodiment has the characteristics of convenient and fast installation of the right side plate 115 and stable and reliable installation structure.

[0117] Although the present application is disclosed as above, the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, can make various changes and modifications, therefore the protection scope of the present application should be limited by the scope defined by the claims.
