[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0041] The inventors found that although the vibration noise during the operation of the HVAC equipment can be improved by setting a shock-absorbing structure inside the box of the HVAC equipment, the shock-absorbing structure itself will inevitably vibrate when eliminating the vibration transmitted by multiple electronic components such as the liquid storage tank, heat exchange device, water pump and valve body. When the shock-absorbing structure is not designed reasonably and causes itself to collide, or when the shock-absorbing structure collides with electronic components, connecting pipes, boxes and other structural parts, noise will still exist. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a support structure and HVAC equipment, improves the support structure, and effectively reduces the noise during the operation of the HVAC equipment.

[0042] The support structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is used in the field of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and other HVAC technologies, and can be applied to a variety of HVAC equipment. For example, HVAC equipment includes air conditioners, multi-split units, heat pumps, water heaters, swimming pool machines, etc. Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of a support structure of an embodiment of the present application arranged in a box of a HVAC device, and the support structure has a containing space, such as Figure 2 As shown, the accommodating space is used to accommodate at least one of the functional components and connecting pipelines of the HVAC equipment. The supporting structure has heat insulation properties. The supporting structure is arranged outside the functional components to prevent water vapor from condensing on the surface of the functional components and reduce the humidity inside the HVAC equipment box.

[0043] In addition, the support structure is in contact with the wall of the box, so that the support structure can be stably installed on the box. The support structure can also play a role in heat insulation and shock absorption. There is no need to set up a separate structural member to install the functional device in the box of the HVAC equipment, and there is no need to set up a separate insulation and shock absorption structure to insulate and shock the functional device and the connecting pipeline, which helps to simplify the structure of the internal space of the HVAC equipment, facilitate installation and maintenance, and reduce the volume of the HVAC equipment. Among them, the accommodating space for accommodating the functional device can be a contoured space similar to the shape of the functional device, and the wall of the accommodating space fits the surface of the functional device. The accommodating space for accommodating the connecting pipeline can be a contoured space similar to the shape of the connecting pipeline, and the wall of the accommodating space fits the surface of the connecting pipeline.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of a support structure 100 of an embodiment of the present application being arranged in a housing 1 of a HVAC device, as shown Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the support structure 100 has a accommodating space 301, and the accommodating space 301 is used to accommodate at least one of the functional device 10 and the connecting pipe 11 of the HVAC equipment. The support structure 100 has heat insulation properties. The support structure 100 is arranged outside the functional device 10, which can prevent water vapor from condensing on the surface of the functional device 10 and reduce the humidity in the HVAC equipment box 1.

[0045] In addition, the support structure 100 is in contact with the wall surface of the box body 1, so that the support structure 100 can be stably installed on the box body 1. The support structure 100 can also play a role in heat insulation and shock absorption. There is no need to set up a separate structural member to install the functional device 10 in the box body 1 of the HVAC equipment, and there is no need to set up a separate heat insulation and shock absorption structure to insulate and shock the functional device 10 and the connecting pipe 11, which helps to simplify the structure of the internal space of the HVAC equipment, facilitate installation and maintenance, and reduce the volume of the HVAC equipment. Among them, the accommodating space 301 for accommodating the functional device 10 can be a contoured space similar in shape to the functional device 10, and the wall surface of the accommodating space 301 fits the surface of the functional device 10. The accommodating space 301 for accommodating the connecting pipe 11 can be a contoured space similar in shape to the connecting pipe 11, and the wall surface of the accommodating space 301 fits the surface of the connecting pipe 11.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support structure 100 includes a support body 300 and a support rib 200, wherein the support body 300 has a accommodating space 301, which is surrounded by the functional device 10 and the connecting pipe 11 and contacts the surfaces of the functional device 10 and the connecting pipe 11. When the functional device 10 and the connecting pipe 11 vibrate, the vibration is transmitted to the support body 300, and the support body 300 vibrates. It can be understood that in order to provide support for the functional device 10 and the connecting pipe 11, the outer surface of the support body needs to be designed to be larger. If the outer surface of the support body 300 directly contacts the wall of the box body 1, the larger the contact area, the larger the area of ​​collision sound, and the greater the noise. Conversely, the smaller the contact area, the smaller the noise.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the supporting convex rib 200 is provided protruding from the outer surface of the supporting body 300, so that at least part of the outer surface of the supporting body 300 is spaced from the wall surface of the box body 1 of the HVAC equipment, and the surface-to-surface contact mode is changed to the line-to-surface contact mode, thereby reducing the contact area between the supporting body 300 and the box body 1, and effectively reducing noise. The supporting convex rib 200 is in contact with the wall surface of the box body 1, and the supporting body 300 is spaced from the wall surface of the box body 1, so that a spacing space is formed between the supporting body 300 and the wall surface of the box body 1. The existence of the spacing space can hinder the transmission of vibration, thereby reducing noise.

[0048] like Figure 3As shown, the outer surface of the support body 300 includes a first surface 410, and the support convex ribs 200 are convexly arranged on the first surface 410, so that the first surface 410 is used to be spaced apart from the wall surface of the box body 1 of the HVAC equipment and form a spacing space. Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the support body 300 also includes a second surface 420, and the second surface 420 is used to fit with the wall surface of the box body 1 of the HVAC equipment. In this way, it can not only meet the overall reduction of the contact area between the support structure 100 and the box body 1, but also can stably install the support structure 100 in the box body 1, thereby improving the stability of the structural parts connected to the support structure 100 and facilitating assembly.

[0049] Optionally, the first surface 410 is a plane, so as to reduce the space occupied by the support structure 100 in a limited space, save materials, expand the volume of the space outside the supporting convex rib 200, and reduce noise. Optionally, the second surface 420 is a plane, so that the appearance of the support structure 100 is regular, and it is convenient for the second surface 420 to be stably attached to the wall of the box body 1. Of course, in some other embodiments, the shapes of the first surface 410 and the second surface 420 can be set based on needs. For example, the first surface 410 and the second surface 420 can be convex or concave, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the second surface 420 is provided with at least one hollow cavity 500. When the second surface 420 is arranged in close contact with the wall of the box body 1, the presence of the hollow cavity 500 can effectively reduce the contact area between the second surface 420 and the wall of the box body 1, thereby reducing noise. Of course, in some other embodiments, the outer surface of the support body 300 may also not include the second surface 420, that is, the support structure 100 is in contact with the wall of the box body 1 only through the supporting ribs 200, and the outer surface of the support body 300 is spaced from the wall of the box body 1.

[0051] While the support structure 100 meets the strength requirements of the functional device 10 and the connecting pipeline 11, the surface of the support body 300 is also provided with a hollow cavity 500, which can reduce the weight of the support structure 100 and save the material of the support structure 100. However, if the second surface 420 provided with the hollow cavity 500 is in contact with the wall of the box 1, the hollow cavity 500 will form a relatively closed cavity, and the closed cavity will amplify the noise generated by the vibration, and the larger the volume of the closed cavity, the more significant the noise amplification effect. Based on this, at least part of the hollow cavity 500 is arranged to be connected to the spacing space, and the spacing space is the space between the first surface 410 and the wall of the box 1 of the HVAC equipment, so as to break the closing effect of the hollow cavity 500, release the sound waves in the hollow cavity 500, and effectively reduce the vibration noise.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the support body 300 has a first through-flow space 430, at least one hollow cavity 500 is connected to the first through-flow space 430, and the first through-flow space 430 extends to the first surface 410, so that the hollow cavity 500 is connected to the interval space to release the sound waves in the hollow cavity 500. Optionally, the first through-flow space 430 is a first through-flow hole spaced apart from the second surface 420; or Figure 4 As shown, the first through-flow space 430 is a first through-flow groove extending to the second surface 420 , which is convenient for processing.

[0053] There are multiple first surfaces 410, and the multiple first surfaces 410 can be arranged on different planes. The second surface 420 can be arranged at an angle with some of the first surfaces 410, or the second surface 420 can be arranged parallel to some of the first surfaces 410. The first through-flow space 430 extends from the hollow cavity 500 to the first surface 410, for example, Figure 4 As shown, the second surface 420 is perpendicular to the first surface 410 , and the first flow space 430 extends to the first surface 410 along a direction parallel to the second surface 420 ; or, the second surface 420 is parallel to the first surface 410 , and the first flow space 430 extends to the first surface 410 along a direction perpendicular to the second surface 420 .

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the second surface 420 is provided with a plurality of hollow cavities 500 , wherein a portion of the hollow cavities 500 is directly or indirectly connected to the spacing space through the first through-flow space 430 , and another portion of the hollow cavities 500 is spaced apart from the other hollow cavities 500 and the first through-flow space 430 .

[0055] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, the hollow cavity 500 includes at least one first hollow cavity 510 and at least one second hollow cavity 520, each first hollow cavity 510 is directly connected to the interval space through the first throughflow space 430, and the second hollow cavity 520 is directly or indirectly connected to the first hollow cavity 510, wherein two adjacent first hollow cavities 510 may be connected or not connected, and two adjacent second hollow cavities 520 may be connected or not connected. The hollow cavity 500 also includes a third hollow cavity 530, and the third hollow cavity 530 is spaced apart from the first hollow cavity 510, the second hollow cavity 520 and the first throughflow space 430. In this way, it is convenient to flexibly arrange the position of the hollow cavity 500 according to the position of the functional device 10.

[0056] Of course, all hollow cavities 500 may be directly or indirectly connected to the partition space through the first throughflow space 430. Optionally, all hollow cavities 500 are directly connected to the partition space through the first throughflow space 430. In this case, two adjacent hollow cavities 500 may be connected or not. Preferably, two adjacent hollow cavities 500 are connected. Alternatively, the hollow cavity 500 includes only the first hollow cavity 510 and the second hollow cavity 520, but does not include the third hollow cavity 530.

[0057] The support body 300 further has a second through-flow space 440, which is disposed between two adjacent hollow cavities 500 to connect the two adjacent hollow cavities 500. Optionally, the second through-flow space 440 is a second through-flow hole spaced apart from the second surface 420; or Figure 4 As shown, the second through-flow space 440 is a second through-flow groove extending to the second surface 420. Figure 5 As shown, when the same hollow cavity 500 has two oppositely arranged second through-flow spaces 440, the two oppositely arranged second through-flow spaces 440 are collinearly arranged; when the same hollow cavity 500 has the oppositely arranged first through-flow space 430 and the second through-flow space 440, the oppositely arranged first through-flow space 430 and the second through-flow space 440 are collinearly arranged.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of first through-flow spaces 430 extend to the same first surface 410, and the first through-flow spaces 430 are located between two adjacent supporting ribs 200. The number of supporting ribs 200 provided on the same first surface 410 can be set according to the area of ​​the first surface 410 and the strength requirement of the supporting structure 100. If the supporting area of ​​the first surface 410 is large or a larger supporting strength is required, a larger number of supporting ribs 200 are provided on the same first surface 410. One or more first through-flow spaces 430 can be provided between two adjacent supporting ribs 200 on the same first surface 410, or no first through-flow space 430 can be provided between two adjacent supporting ribs 200 on the same first surface 410. The number of first through-flow spaces 430 between two adjacent supporting ribs 200 is not limited in this application, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 The supporting convex corrugation 200 may be in a strip shape, and the supporting convex corrugation 200 may also include a plurality of sub-convex corrugations spliced ​​to each other.

[0060] Optionally, at least some of the ends of the supporting ribs 200 are connected to the edge of the first surface 410 where they are located. When the supporting ribs 200 are in contact with the wall of the box body 1, the supporting ribs 200 separate the space between the first surface 410 where they are located and the wall of the box body 1 into two separated spaces. At this time, the first through-flow space 430 can be set on either side of the supporting ribs 200. For example, when the supporting ribs 200 are in a strip shape, the supporting ribs 200 extend to penetrate the first surface 410 where they are located, and in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the supporting ribs 200, the first through-flow spaces 430 can be respectively set on the opposite sides of the supporting ribs 200.

[0061] Optionally, at least part of the end of the supporting rib 200 is spaced from the edge of the first surface 410 where it is located, and when the supporting rib 200 contacts the wall of the box body 1, the supporting rib 200 does not completely separate the space between the first surface 410 where it is located and the wall of the box body 1, and each area between the first surface 410 and the wall of the box body 1 is connected. In this case, the first through-flow space 430 can also be set on either side of the supporting rib 200.

[0062] Optionally, at least a portion of the supporting rib 200 is provided with at least one through-flow groove on the surface in contact with the wall of the box body 1. For example, the second supporting surface 220 described below is provided with at least one through-flow groove, and the through-flow groove penetrates the supporting rib 200 to connect the spaces on both sides of the supporting rib 200. At this time, a first through-flow space 430 can also be set on either side of the supporting rib 200.

[0063] The above is only an exemplary introduction to the structure of the supporting rib 200 . The embodiment of the present application does not limit the position of the supporting rib 200 relative to the edge of the first surface 410 , and the position can be selected according to actual needs.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, the supporting convex rib 200 includes two first supporting surfaces 210 connected to the first surface 410 and a second supporting surface 220 connected between the two first supporting surfaces 210. The second supporting surface 220 is used to be arranged in contact with the wall surface of the box body 1, and the first supporting surface 210 is arranged at an angle with the first surface 410. In the direction away from the first surface 410, the distance between the two adjacent first supporting surfaces 210 gradually decreases, so that the supporting convex rib 200 can be in contact with the wall surface of the box body 1 in a small area, and the structural strength of the connection between the supporting convex rib 200 and the supporting body 300 can be improved, thereby improving the support stability. Furthermore, the supporting convex rib 200 is arranged integrally with the supporting body 300.

[0065] The second supporting surface 220 may be a plane, a convex curved surface, or a concave curved surface, etc., and the first supporting surface 210 may be a plane or a curved surface with a curvature different from that of the second supporting surface 220. In some other embodiments, the supporting convex rib 200 may not have the first supporting surface 210 and the second supporting surface 220, and the entire outer surface of the supporting convex rib 200 may be a convex curved surface with a smooth transition.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the outer surface of the support body 300 includes at least one first surface 410 and at least one second surface 420. For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer surface of the support body 300 includes a front surface 401 and a rear surface 402 arranged oppositely along a first direction A, a left surface 403 and a right surface 404 arranged oppositely along a second direction B, and an upper surface 405 and a lower surface 406 arranged oppositely along a third direction C. The first direction A, the second direction B and the third direction C are perpendicular to each other. When the support body 300 is arranged in the box body 1, the front surface 401 is arranged toward the front cover (not shown in the figure) of the box body 1, and the front cover can be opened and closed, the rear surface 402 is arranged toward the rear cover of the box body 1, the left surface 403 is arranged toward the left side cover 130 of the box body 1, the right surface 404 is arranged toward the right side cover 140 of the box body 1, the upper surface 405 is arranged toward the top cover 110 of the box body 1, and the lower surface 406 is arranged toward the bottom cover 120 of the box body 1. Among them, at least one of the front surface 401 , the rear surface 402 , the left surface 403 , the right surface 404 , the upper surface 405 and the lower surface 406 is a first surface 410 , and at least one is a second surface 420 .

[0067] Optionally, the front surface 401 is set as the first surface 410, so that the front surface 401 of the support body 300 is spaced apart from the wall of the box body 1, and the rear surface 402 is set as the second surface 420, so that the rear surface 402 of the support body 300 is in contact with the wall of the box body 1.

When the rear surface 402 of the first plate body 31 is the second surface 420, the rear surface 402 of the first plate body 31 is in contact with the wall of the box body 1, which helps to improve the installation stability.

[0070] The first plate body 31 further comprises a left surface 403 and a right surface 404 which are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction B, and an upper surface 405 and a lower surface 406 which are arranged opposite to each other along the third direction C.

At least one of the left surface 403, the right surface 404, the upper surface 405 and the lower surface 406 is a first surface 410. Optionally, the left surface 403, the right surface 404, the upper surface 405 and the lower surface 406 are all first surfaces 410.

The accommodating space 301 includes an expansion space 30a for accommodating the expansion tank 20, a heat exchange space for accommodating the heat exchange device 30 and a storage space 30c for accommodating the liquid storage tank 40, wherein a plurality of plates of the supporting body 300 are spliced ​​together to define the expansion space 30a, the heat exchange space and the storage space 30c.

[0072] Optionally, the volume of the expansion tank 20 is larger than that of the liquid storage tank 40. The liquid storage tank 40 is disposed adjacent to the left surface 403, and the expansion tank 20 is disposed adjacent to the right surface 404. Based on this, the hollow cavity 500 disposed on the rear surface 402 of the first plate body 31 corresponds to the position of the liquid storage tank 40. At this time, the left surface 403 and the right surface 404 respectively form the first surface 410. Please refer to Figure 4The first throughflow space 430 includes a left throughflow space 431, and the hollow cavity 500 is connected to the space on the side where the left surface 403 is located through the left throughflow space 431. Furthermore, the first throughflow space 430 also includes a right throughflow space 432, and the hollow cavity 500 is also connected to the space on the side where the right surface 404 is located through the right throughflow space 432. The above is only an exemplary introduction. In some other embodiments, the hollow cavity 500 can also be arranged corresponding to other structural parts such as the expansion tank 20, the heat exchange device 30 and the connecting pipeline.

[0073] The plate body further includes a second plate body 32, a third plate body 33 and a fourth plate body 34, the second plate body 32, the third plate body 33 and the fourth plate body 34 are arranged on the side of the first plate body 31 away from the rear surface 402, the second plate body 32 is installed on the first plate body 31 and defines an expansion space 30a, the third plate body 33 is installed on the first plate body 31 and defines a heat exchange space, and the third plate body 33 and the second plate body 32 are arranged side by side in the third direction C, the fourth plate body 34 is installed on the first plate body 31 and defines a liquid storage tank 40 space, and the fourth plate body 34 and the second plate body 32 are arranged side by side in the second direction B. Among them, the surfaces of the second plate body 32, the third plate body 33 and the fourth plate body 34 away from the first plate body 31 form a front surface 401, the front surface 401 is a first surface 410, and the front surface 401 is provided with a supporting convex ridge 200.

[0074] At least one of the second plate 32, the third plate 33 and the fourth plate 34 has a support convex ridge 200 on its surface facing away from the first plate 31. Figure 7 As shown, the surfaces of the second plate body 32, the third plate body 33 and the fourth plate body 34 facing away from the first plate body 31 are all provided with supporting ribs 200, wherein the number of supporting ribs 200 provided on the second plate body 32 is multiple, and each supporting rib 200 includes multiple sections of sub-ribs spliced ​​to each other, the number of supporting ribs 200 provided on the third plate body 33 is multiple, and a part of the supporting ribs 200 is in the shape of strips, and another part of the supporting ribs 200 includes multiple sections of sub-ribs spliced ​​to each other, and the number of supporting ribs 200 provided on the fourth plate body 34 is multiple, and the multiple supporting ribs 200 are in the shape of strips parallel to each other.

[0075] In the second direction B and the third direction C, the outer surfaces of the second plate 32, the third plate 33 and the fourth plate 34 are spaced apart from the wall of the box 1 to reduce the contact area between the support body 300 and the wall of the box 1, thereby reducing noise.

[0076] The surfaces of the second plate 32, the third plate 33 and the fourth plate 34 are spaced apart from the wall of the box body 1. In addition, considering the volume and installation position of functional components 10 such as the liquid storage tank 40, the expansion tank 20 and the heat exchange device 30, the convenience of installation and maintenance, and the material consumption of the support body 300, the second plate 32, the third plate 33 and the fourth plate 34 can contact each other and can be spaced apart. In this way, there is also space between the second plate 32, the third plate 33 and the fourth plate 34, further expanding the space on the front side of the first plate 31. The sound waves generated by the hollow cavity 500 on the rear surface 402 of the first plate 31 can bypass at least one of the upper surface 405, the lower surface 406, the left surface 403 and the right surface 404 of the first plate 31 to reach the space on the front side of the first plate 31, that is, to reach the space on the side of the first plate 31 away from the rear surface 402, thereby effectively reducing noise.

[0078] The supporting convex ridges 200 of the second plate 32, the third plate 33 and the fourth plate 34 on the side away from the first plate 31 can abut against the wall of the box 1, so that the second plate 32, the third plate 33 and the fourth plate 34 are abutted and installed on the first plate 31. Figure 7 As shown, the first plate 31 also has a first plug-in portion 36, and at least one of the second plate 32, the third plate 33, and the fourth plate 34 has a second plug-in portion 37. The first plug-in portion 36 cooperates with the second plug-in portion 37 to install the second plate 32, the third plate 33, and the fourth plate 34 with the second plug-in portion 37 on the first plate 31, which is convenient for assembly. Preferably, the second plate 32, the third plate 33, and the fourth plate 34 all have the second plug-in portion 37 to facilitate positioning of the second plate 32, the third plate 33, and the fourth plate 34 relative to the first plate 31.
