All of these can reduce the arrangement of components in the kitchen air conditioner, simplify the internal structure of the kitchen air conditioner, and reduce the finishing weight of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the condenser 2 is arranged near the first side panel 11 of the shell 1, and the condenser water receiving pan 6 is located below the condenser 2.

The sizes of internal components of different models of kitchen air conditioners are also different. Multiple connection positions are set to adapt to different models of kitchen air conditioners, thereby improving the versatility of the bracket 51.

[0057] Furthermore, at least two connection positions are respectively disposed on both sides of the bracket 51. That is, the connection positions are distributed on both sides of the bracket 51, so that the bracket 51 is evenly stressed, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the four-way valve assembly 5.

[0058] Further, the three connection positions include a first connection position, a second connection position and a third connection position, and the bracket 51 includes a vertical plate 511, a bottom plate 512 and a middle plate 513. The vertical plate 511 is arranged in the vertical direction, the bottom plate 512 is connected to the bottom end of the vertical plate 511, the bottom plate 512 is connected to at least one of the shell 1 and the condenser water receiving tray 6, and a first connection position is arranged on the bottom plate 512, and the first connection position is used to install the water level switch 54.

The top plate 514 and the middle plate 513 are disposed on the same side of the vertical plate 511 , and the bottom plate 512 is disposed on a side of the vertical plate 511 away from the middle plate 513 .

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the bottom plate 512, the middle plate 513 and the top plate 514 are all arranged perpendicularly to the vertical plate 511, the top plate 514 and the middle plate 513 are arranged on the same side of the vertical plate 511, the bottom plate 512 is arranged on the side of the vertical plate 511 away from the middle plate 513, and each connection position is arranged separately so that the bracket 51 is evenly stressed. The second installation on the middle plate 513 is a mounting hole, and the middle plate 513 is connected to the water pump 53 through the mounting hole. The third connection position on the top plate 514 is a mounting groove, which is connected to the four-way valve 52 through the mounting groove. The first connection position on the bottom plate 512 is a mounting hole, and the bottom plate 512 is connected to the water level switch 54 through the mounting hole.

[0060] Preferably, a hollow structure 5141 is provided in the middle of the top plate 514, and an elastic card 5142 is provided at the edge of the hole of the hollow structure 5141. A limiting space is formed between the elastic card 5142 and the top plate 514, and the exhaust pipe 41 connected to the four-way valve is passed through the limiting space.

[0061] It should be noted that the four-way valve 52 is connected to the elastic card 5142 through a pipeline, that is, the load-bearing capacity of the top plate 514 is relatively small, and a hollow structure 5141 can be provided on the top plate 514, and the hollow structure 5141 can play a role in weight reduction. During the operation of the compressor 4, the vibration of the compressor 4 will be transmitted to the four-way valve 52 through the exhaust pipe 41. Limiting the exhaust pipe 41 between the elastic card 5142 and the top plate 514 can play a vibration reduction role, so as to reduce the impact of the vibration on the four-way valve 52. While limiting the vibration of the exhaust pipe 41, the elastic card 5142 can also be slightly deformed with the exhaust pipe 41, that is, the elastic card 5142 and the exhaust pipe 41 are flexibly abutted to avoid pressure loss on the exhaust pipe 41.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, a hollow structure 5141 is formed in the middle portion of the top plate 514 by cutting, one side of the cutting portion is connected to the hole edge of the hollow structure 5141, and the other side edges of the cutting portion are free edges. The cutting portion is bent to form an elastic card 5142, and an arc-shaped snap-in groove 5143 is formed in the middle portion of the elastic card 5142. Part of the pipeline of the four-way valve 52 is passed through the snap-in groove 5143 and the top plate 514.

[0063] Furthermore, a notch 5111 is formed on the side of the vertical plate 511, and the middle plate 513 is formed at the notch 5111. That is, the width of the middle plate 513 is smaller than the width of the vertical plate 511, and a placement space is formed between the middle plate 513 and the vertical plate 511, and the water pump 53 can be arranged in the placement space, so that the structure of the four-way valve assembly 5 is more compact.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the side of the vertical plate 511 is cut to form a notch 5111, one side of the cutting portion is connected to the notch 5111, and the other side of the cutting portion is a free edge.

Specifically, the end is an arc-shaped surface 5131, and the middle plate 513 abuts against the water pump 53 through the arc-shaped surface 5131 to preliminarily position the water pump 53.

[0066] The bracket 51 is integrally formed, and the integrally formed setting is conducive to improving the rigidity of the bracket 51.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the bracket 51 is a thin plate, and the bracket 51 is formed by bending.

[0068] As an alternative implementation, the bracket 51 can also be integrally injection molded using a special mold.

[0069] As another alternative implementation, the bottom plate 512 , the middle plate 513 , the top plate 514 and the vertical plate 511 constituting the bracket 51 may be connected by welding.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the condenser 2 has a bending section 21 to increase the heat exchange area, and the four-way valve assembly 5 is located between the bending section 21 and the compressor 4. The four-way valve assembly 5 is located between the bending section 21 and the compressor 4, that is, the four-way valve assembly 5 is located at the corner of the shell 1, and the corner space is large, and sufficient space is reserved for the layout of the four-way valve assembly 5.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the kitchen air conditioner further comprises a heat exchange fan 7, which is arranged in the housing 1 and is located between the condenser 2 and the evaporator 3, so that most of the heat of the condenser 2 is first discharged by the heat exchange fan 7 before approaching the evaporator 3. The heat exchange fan 7, the compressor 4 and the condenser 2 are enclosed together to form an installation space, and the four-way valve assembly 5 is located in the installation space. The installation space formed by the enclosure is located at the corner of the housing 1, and the corner space is large, so there is enough space reserved for the layout of the four-way valve assembly 5, and there is no need to rearrange the components in the kitchen air conditioner to make room for the four-way valve assembly 5.

[0072] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0075] 3. An elastic card 5142 is provided on the top plate 514 of the bracket 51 . The top plate 514 and the elastic card 5142 form a limiting space, which limits the exhaust pipe 41 of the compressor 4 within the limiting space to reduce the vibration of the exhaust pipe 41 .
