Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to a supporting structure of an evaporator. Background Art

[0002] The evaporator is located inside the air conditioner. In order to avoid direct contact between the evaporator and the chassis of the air conditioner, technical personnel in this field connect and fix the lower end of the support plate to the chassis of the air conditioner. The support surface of the support plate cooperates with the evaporator to form a supporting and fixing effect.

[0003] However, the problem with this support method is that when the air conditioner is heating, the evaporator needs to absorb heat from the air, causing the air temperature around the evaporator to drop, and condensed water will be generated on the evaporator fins. The condensed water will flow along the support plate to the middle of the chassis (there are fan blades fixed above the middle of the chassis). When the external ambient temperature is extremely low, the condensed water will freeze quickly. As the ice continues to freeze and rise, it will interfere with the fan blades and cause damage to the fan blades. In addition, due to the lifting of the evaporator, a certain gap is generated between the evaporator and the chassis. Part of the wind does not pass through the heat exchanger fins, but escapes directly from the gap, resulting in reduced heat exchange efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to prevent condensed water from flowing toward the middle of the chassis and improve the heat exchange efficiency. To this end, an evaporator support structure is installed between the chassis and the evaporator, and includes:

[0005] A support member, the support member is connected to the bottom plate, the support member is provided with a support surface, and the support surface abuts against the bottom end of the evaporator;

[0010] The top end of the vertical surface is higher than the bottom end of the evaporator.

[0011] A gap is provided between the vertical surface and the side surface of the evaporator.

[0012] The baffle includes a horizontal surface, the horizontal surface is vertically connected to the vertical surface, and the horizontal surface is connected to the bottom plate.

[0036] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] This embodiment provides a support structure for an evaporator, as shown in the attached Figure 1-4 As shown, it is installed between the chassis 11 and the evaporator 12. It should be noted that the evaporator 12 is located near the outside of the entire air conditioner, and the fan blades 13 are fixed in the central area inside the air conditioner, that is, the fan blades 13 and the evaporator 12 are both located above the chassis 11. This is a prior art, so it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0039] The supporting structure includes:

[0040] The support member 14 is connected to the chassis 11, and the support member 14 is provided with a support surface 141, and the support surface 141 abuts against the bottom end of the evaporator 12. The lower end of the support member 14 is connected to the chassis 11, and the support surface 141 is located at the upper end of the support member 14, and the upper end of the support member 14 abuts against the bottom end of the evaporator 12 to form a supporting effect. Here, the support surface 141 is a horizontal plane, which can better abut against the bottom end of the evaporator 12 to form a support.

[0041] Baffle 15, baffle 15 is connected to chassis 11, baffle 15 is closer to the center area of ​​chassis 11 than support 14, and the distance from baffle 15 to the center area of ​​chassis 11 is smaller than the distance from support 14 to the center area of ​​chassis 11. Baffle 15 is provided with a vertical surface 151, where vertical surface 151 is specifically the bottom surface of vertical chassis 11, when chassis 11 is located in the horizontal plane formed by X-axis and Y-axis, then vertical surface 151 is located in the plane where Z-axis is located. Vertical surface 151 blocks the gap between evaporator 12 and chassis 11, where the gap specifically refers to the gap formed between the bottom end of evaporator 12 and chassis 11 due to the setting of support 14, which makes evaporator 12 raised, and vertical surface 151 blocks in the horizontal direction. The setting of the baffle 15 creates a water-blocking and wind-proof effect, so that the condensed water generated from the evaporator 12 cannot enter the central area of ​​the chassis 11, thereby ensuring the normal use of the fan blades 13. The wind generated by the fan blades 13 above the central area will not flow out from the gap between the evaporator 12 and the chassis 11, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0042] Specifically, as attached Figure 2-4 As shown, the support surface 141 is fitted with the vertical surface 151. The fitting method forms a connection between the support member 14 and the baffle 15, thereby improving the strength between the two and better achieving a waterproof and windproof effect. The fitting here can be that the side of the support surface 141 close to the vertical surface 151 is abutted against the side of the vertical surface 151 close to the support surface 141, or the bottom surface of the support surface 141 is fitted with the top surface of the vertical surface 151, or a groove is provided on the vertical surface 151, and the top and bottom surfaces of the support surface 141 are abutted against the inner wall of the groove. In addition, a gap can also be set between the support surface 141 and the vertical surface 151.

[0043] Specifically, as attached Figure 2-3 As shown, the vertical surface 151 is provided with a slot 1511, and the slot 1511 is adapted to the support surface 141, and the support surface 141 extends to the slot 1511. The slot 1511 cooperates with the support surface 141 to better achieve the connection and fixation between the support member 14 and the baffle 15. The support surface 141 can extend to part of the slot 1511, that is, to the middle position of the slot 1511, or to the right side of the support surface 141 and the right side of the vertical surface 151. The support surface 141 can also extend through the slot 1511 toward the central area. In order to better achieve the connection and fixation effect of the support member 14 and the baffle 15, those skilled in the art can adjust the size of the support surface 141 according to actual needs.

[0044] Specifically, the vertical surface 151 and the slot 1511 are fixed by welding. The welding method is adopted to improve the fixing strength between the support member 14 and the baffle 15. In addition, the support member 14 and the baffle 15 can also be fixed by bolts or the like.

[0045] Specifically, as attached Figure 2-3 As shown, the top of the vertical surface 151 is higher than the bottom of the evaporator 12. The height of the vertical surface 151 is limited to achieve a better windproof effect, so that the vertical surface 151 and the side of the evaporator 12 form an intersection in the vertical direction, forming a double windproof effect.

[0046] Specifically, a gap is provided between the vertical surface 151 and the side of the evaporator 12, that is, the baffle 15 does not directly fit the side of the evaporator 12. The support surface 141 extends to abut against the vertical surface 151, which can just close the gap between the vertical surface 151 and the side of the evaporator 12, further improving the windproof and waterproof effects. At this time, the top surface of the support surface 141 is also lower than the top surface of the vertical surface 151.

[0047] Specifically, as attached Figure 2-3 As shown, the baffle 15 includes a horizontal surface 152, and the horizontal surface 152 is vertically connected to the vertical surface 151, so that the cross section of the baffle 15 forms a similar L-shaped structure. The horizontal surface 152 is connected to the chassis 11. The setting of the horizontal surface 152 better achieves the connection and fixing effect between the baffle 15 and the chassis 11. In this embodiment, the size of the horizontal surface 152 can be set according to actual needs, and the size can be adjusted accordingly according to the connection strength and cost.

[0048] Specifically, the horizontal plane 152 and the chassis 11 are connected by bolts or welding. The horizontal plane 152 and the chassis 11 can be connected by bolts, directly by welding, or by a combination of bolts and welding, and the connection between the baffle 15 and the chassis 11 can be achieved, thereby improving the fixing strength.

[0049] Specifically, as attached Figure 2-4 As shown, the support member 14 includes a fixing surface 142 and a connecting surface 143, one end of the connecting surface 143 is connected to the fixing surface 142, and the other end of the connecting surface 143 is connected to the supporting surface 141. In this embodiment, the support member 14 forms a similar Z-shaped structure. The fixing surface 142 is connected to the chassis 11. The setting of the fixing surface 142 better achieves the connection and fixing effect between the support member 14 and the chassis 11. The fixing surface 142 can be connected to the chassis 11 by bolts, and can also be connected to the chassis 11 by welding.

[0050] Specifically, as attached Figure 2-4 As shown, the support surface 141 is provided with a water leakage hole 1411. The water leakage hole 1411 improves the effect of discharging condensed water, and the condensed water generated by the evaporator 12 can flow through the water leakage hole 1411 and the bottom plate 11 to the outer edge of the bottom plate 11 or below the bottom plate 11.

[0051] Specifically, there are multiple support members 14, and multiple support members 14 are connected to the baffle 15. Multiple support members 14 are provided, and each support member 14 is provided independently of each other. The number of support members 14 and the size of the support members 14 can be selected according to the size of the evaporator 12 to meet different requirements. In this embodiment, only three support members 14 are used as an example for description.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
