[0040] The principles and features of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0041] In the related art, the assembly process of the partition is complicated and the assembly efficiency is low. The embodiment of the present application provides a partition structure and an air conditioner, which is conducive to simplifying the assembly process of the partition and improving the assembly efficiency. The air conditioner can be but not limited to an embedded air conditioner, and the embedded air conditioner can be embedded in the ceiling.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 1 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 and Fig.15 As shown, the air conditioner comprises a chassis 2, a side panel 3 and a partition structure 1. The partition structure 1 is fixedly connected to the chassis 2 and the side panel 3.

[0043] Among them, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the partition structure 1 includes: a partition 11, and a motor bracket 12 and a lower volute 13 connected to the partition 11, and the motor bracket 12, the lower volute 13 and the partition 11 are an integrated structure. The partition 11 can be erected inside the air conditioner to support the entire machine and separate the airflow. The motor bracket 12 is used to fix the motor, and the lower volute 13 is used to install related components of the fan assembly such as the wind wheel. The air conditioner can also include an upper volute (not shown in the figure), and the lower volute 13 can be connected to the upper volute to form a complete volute member.

[0044] The partition structure 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application designs the partition 11, the motor bracket 12 and the lower volute 13 into an integrated structure, which reduces the number of parts and can omit the assembly process between the partition 11 and the motor bracket 12 and the assembly process between the partition 11 and the lower volute 13, thereby simplifying the relevant assembly process of the partition 11, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner and reducing assembly errors.

[0045] In some exemplary embodiments, the air conditioner may further include a motor (not shown in the figure), a fan assembly (not shown in the figure), a heat exchanger (not shown in the figure), a panel assembly (not shown in the figure), and the like. Figure 1As shown, the side panel 3 may include a left side panel 32 and a right side panel 31, the right side panel 31 may include a first side panel 312 and a right side panel body 311 connected to each other, and the chassis 2 may include a bottom panel 21 and a second side panel 22 connected to each other. The left side panel 32, the right side panel 31 and the chassis 2 are connected to each other and enclose a receiving cavity with an opening facing upward. The panel assembly may cover the open end of the receiving cavity. The partition structure 1, the motor, the fan assembly, the heat exchanger and other components are arranged in the receiving cavity. The partition structure 1 is fixedly connected to the left side panel 32, the right side panel body 311 and the bottom panel 21. One of the first side panel 312 and the second side panel 22 may be a front panel, and the other may be a rear panel (or a back panel). Figure 1 In the figure, the second side panel 22 is the front panel and the first side panel 312 is the back panel for marking the front and back directions; however, the first side panel 312 can also be the front panel and the second side panel 22 can be the back panel. Similarly, the left and right directions of the left and right panels can also be swapped.

[0046] Of course, the right side panel 31 may not include the first side panel 312 , that is, the right side panel 31 may be configured as a split assembly structure; the chassis 2 may not include the second side panel 22 , that is, the chassis 2 may also be configured as a split assembly structure.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lower volute 13 and the motor bracket 12 are located on the same side of the partition 11 and are arranged along the axial direction of the lower volute 13. The partition 11 can divide the internal space of the air conditioner into a fan chamber and a heat exchange chamber. The fan assembly is located in the fan chamber, and the heat exchanger is located in the heat exchange chamber. Therefore, the lower volute 13 and the motor bracket 12 can be located on the side of the partition 11 facing the fan chamber. A vent can be provided on the partition 11 to ensure that the airflow generated by the fan assembly can enter the heat exchange chamber. The motor installed on the motor bracket 12 can be connected to the wind wheel in the lower volute 13 to drive the wind wheel.

[0048] In some exemplary embodiments, the partition structure 1 is an injection molded part, and the partition structure 1 can be integrally molded by injection molding, which is convenient for processing a desired structure. The chassis 2 and the side panels 3 can be sheet metal parts.

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, the partition 11 is provided with at least one of a first limiting portion, a first fixing portion, a second limiting portion, and a second fixing portion.

[0050] The first limiting portion is configured to be limited and matched with the chassis 2 of the air conditioner. The first fixing portion is configured to be fixedly connected to the chassis 2 of the air conditioner. The second limiting portion is configured to be limited and matched with the side panel 3 of the air conditioner. The second fixing portion is configured to be fixedly connected to the side panel 3 of the air conditioner.

[0051] Correspondingly, the chassis 2 is provided with at least one of a first position limiting matching portion and a first fixing matching portion, and the side plate 3 is provided with at least one of a second position limiting matching portion and a second fixing matching portion.

[0052] The first position-limiting matching portion is configured to be position-limitingly matched with the first position-limiting portion of the partition 11. The first fixed matching portion is configured to be fixedly connected with the first fixed portion of the partition 11. The second position-limiting matching portion is configured to be position-limitingly matched with the second position-limiting portion of the partition 11. The second fixed matching portion is configured to be fixedly connected with the second fixed portion of the partition 11.

[0053] In this way, the partition 11 and the chassis 2 can first be initially positioned by the limiting cooperation between the first limiting portion and the first limiting cooperation portion, and then the first fixing portion and the first fixing cooperation portion are fixedly connected to realize the assembly between the partition 11 and the chassis 2. Similarly, the partition 11 and the side panel 3 can first be initially positioned by the limiting cooperation between the second limiting portion and the second limiting cooperation portion, and then the second fixing portion and the second fixing cooperation portion are fixedly connected to realize the assembly between the partition 11 and the side panel 3.

[0054] In this way, positioning is performed first and then fixing is performed, which is beneficial to reducing the difficulty of assembling the partition plate 11 and the chassis 2 and the side plate 3, thereby facilitating improving the assembly efficiency of the partition plate structure 1.

[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, the first limiting portion includes a first limiting column 1111 (eg, Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first fixing portion includes a first connecting hole 1112 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The second limiting portion includes limiting grooves 1121 (as shown) provided at both side ends of the partition 11. Figure 4 and Figure 7 The second fixing portion includes a second connecting hole 1122 (as shown in FIG. 1 ) provided on the groove wall of the limiting groove 1121. Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown).

[0056] Correspondingly, the first limiting matching portion includes a first limiting hole 2121 (such as Figure 8 The first fixing matching portion includes a first fixing hole 2122 (as shown in FIG. 1 ), and the first limiting hole 2121 is configured to be inserted and matched with the first limiting column 1111 of the first limiting portion. Figure 8 As shown), the first fixing hole 2122 is configured to be fixedly connected to the first connecting hole 1112 of the first fixing portion by a fastener.

[0057] The second limiting matching portion includes a limiting protrusion 33 (such as Figure 2 and Fig.14The limiting protrusion 33 is configured to be inserted and matched with the limiting groove 1121 of the second limiting portion. The second fixed matching portion includes a second fixing hole 34 (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 , Fig.12 and Fig.14 As shown), the second fixing hole 34 is configured to be fixedly connected to the second connecting hole 1122 of the second fixing portion by a fastener.

[0058] Of course, the first limiting portion is not limited to the structural form of the first limiting column 1111, and may also be a limiting hole, a limiting block, a limiting groove, a limiting plate, a limiting rib, and other structural forms. The first fixing portion is also not limited to the structural form of the first connecting hole 1112, and may also be a connecting column, a buckle, a slot, and other structural forms. Correspondingly, the first limiting matching portion is also not limited to the structural form of the first limiting hole 2121, and may also be a limiting column, a limiting groove, a limiting block, a limiting plate, a limiting rib, and other structural forms. The first fixing matching portion is also not limited to the structural form of the first fixing hole 2122, and may also be a fixing column, a slot, a buckle, and other structural forms.

[0059] Similarly, the second limiting portion is not limited to the structural form of the limiting groove 1121, and may also be a limiting protrusion 33, a limiting hole, a limiting block, a limiting groove, a limiting plate, a limiting rib, etc. The second fixing portion is also not limited to the structural form of the second connecting hole 1122, and may also be a connecting column, a buckle, a slot, etc. Correspondingly, the second limiting matching portion is also not limited to the structural form of the limiting protrusion 33, and may also be a limiting groove 1121, a limiting block, a limiting hole, a limiting groove, a limiting plate, a limiting rib, etc. The second fixing matching portion is also not limited to the structural form of the second fixing hole 34, and may also be a fixing column, a slot, a buckle, etc.

[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, the bottom of the partition 11 is provided with a flange 111, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting column 1111 and the first connecting hole 1112 are provided on the flange 111. The number of the first connecting holes 1112 may be, but is not limited to, multiple (such as two, three or more), and the multiple first connecting holes 1112 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the flange 111, so that the partition 11 and the chassis 2 can be fixedly connected by multiple fasteners (such as screws), effectively ensuring the connection reliability.

[0061] The number of the first limiting posts 1111 may be but is not limited to one, and the first limiting posts 1111 may be located at the end region of the flange 111 away from the motor bracket 12, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, thickened portions 112 are provided at both ends of the partition 11. Figure 4The limiting groove 1121 and the second connection hole 1122 are arranged in the thickened portion 112 , which is convenient for processing the limiting groove 1121 and the second connection hole 1122 at both ends of the partition 11 and is also beneficial for improving the connection strength between the partition 11 and the side plate 3 .

[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, the first limiting column 1111 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 1213 , and the guiding inclined surface 1213 is configured to guide the first limiting column 1111 to be inserted into the first limiting hole 2121 .

[0064] The guiding slope 1213 can guide the assembly of the first limiting column 1111. When the first limiting column 1111 is provided with the guiding slope 1213, it is convenient for the first limiting column 1111 to be smoothly inserted into the first limiting hole 2121. Therefore, the provision of the guiding slope 1213 can reduce the difficulty of assembling the partition structure 1 and the chassis 2, which is conducive to further improving the assembly efficiency.

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the chassis 2 includes a bottom plate body 211 and a long strip-shaped partition mounting protrusion 212 connected to the bottom plate body 211. The first limiting hole 2121 and the first fixing hole 2122 are arranged on the top surface of the partition mounting protrusion 212, and the side surface of the partition mounting protrusion 212 and the bottom plate body 211 are arranged to be in clearance fit with the partition 11, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 The chassis 2 may be a sheet metal part, and the partition mounting protrusion 212 may be a protruding structure formed by a partial upward protrusion of the chassis 2 .

[0066] In this way, the partition installation protrusion 212 can also play a positioning and marking role in the installation of the partition 11, which is conducive to the rapid positioning and assembly between the partition 11 and the chassis 2 on the assembly line. The side of the partition installation protrusion 212 and the clearance between the bottom plate body 211 and the partition 11 are to avoid excessive interference in the installation process of the partition 11 due to excessive positioning, which is conducive to reducing the assembly difficulty of the partition structure 1 and improving the assembly convenience of the partition structure 1. In addition, the partition installation protrusion 212 also makes it easy to hide the first limit column 1111 and the fasteners used to connect the partition 11 and the chassis 2 in the space enclosed by the partition installation protrusion 212, so that the head of the screw used to connect the partition 11 and the chassis 2 can be hidden in the space enclosed by the partition installation protrusion 212.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, the first limiting hole 2121 is a waist-shaped hole, such as Figure 8As shown, the length direction of the waist-shaped hole is consistent with the length direction of the partition 11. The length direction of the partition 11 is consistent with the length direction of the partition mounting protrusion 212, that is, the left and right direction of the air conditioner. The first limiting hole 2121 can be a waist-shaped flange 111 hole, and the flange 111 can be located in the space surrounded by the partition mounting protrusion 212.

[0068] In this way, when the first limiting column 1111 is inserted into the first limiting hole 2121, the partition 11 cannot move forward or backward, but can move left or right appropriately, which not only plays a role in preliminary positioning, but also facilitates the appropriate movement of the partition structure 1 to facilitate the alignment between the motor bracket 12 and the chassis 2.

[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, the limiting protrusion 33 is a long strip protrusion, such as Figure 2 and Fig.12 As shown, the limiting protrusion 33 is arranged to extend along the height direction of the side plate 3. This facilitates accurate positioning between the partition plate 11 and the left side plate 32 and the right side plate 31.

[0070] The side panel 3 can be a sheet metal part, and the limiting protrusion 33 can be a protrusion structure formed by a local inward protrusion of the side panel 3, so that it is convenient to hide the head of the fastener (such as a screw) used to connect the side panel 3 and the partition 11 in the space enclosed by the limiting protrusion 33.

[0071] The number of the second fixing holes 34 can be multiple, and the multiple second fixing holes 34 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the limiting protrusion 33, such as Figure 2 and Fig.12 In one example, the number of the second fixing holes 34 is two, and the two second fixing holes 34 are respectively arranged at the end regions of the limiting protrusion 33 .

[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, the top of the side panel 3 is provided with a folded edge 35 (such as Figure 2 As shown), the folded edge 35 is matched with the top clearance of the partition 11, as shown Fig.10 In this way, the folded edge 35 at the top of the side panel 3 is not easy to interfere with the partition 11 during the assembly process, and can also limit the partition 11 after the assembly is completed.

[0073] In one example, the tops of the left side plate 32 and the right side plate 31 are both provided with folded edges 35 , and the folded edges 35 of the left side plate 32 and the right side plate 31 are both located on the upper side of the partition 11 and are gap-fitted with the partition 11 .

[0074] In some embodiments, the top of the partition 11 is provided with a stepped surface 113, such as Fig.10 As shown, the folded edge 35 is located on the upper side of the bottom surface of the stepped surface 113 and is gap-matched with the bottom surface of the stepped surface 113 . Other parts of the stepped surface 113 (such as the side surface and the top surface) can be located on the upper side of the folded edge 35 .

[0075] In some exemplary embodiments, the motor bracket 12 is provided with at least one of a third limiting portion and a third fixing portion. The third limiting portion is configured to be limitedly matched with the chassis 2 of the air conditioner, and the third fixing portion is configured to be fixedly connected with the chassis 2 of the air conditioner.

[0076] Correspondingly, the chassis 2 is provided with at least one of a third position-limiting matching portion and a third fixed matching portion. The third position-limiting matching portion is configured to be position-limitedly matched with the third position-limiting portion of the motor bracket 12. The third fixed matching portion is configured to be fixedly connected with the third fixed portion of the motor bracket 12.

[0077] In this way, the motor bracket 12 and the chassis 2 can first be initially positioned by the limiting cooperation between the third limiting portion and the third limiting cooperation portion, and then the motor bracket 12 and the chassis 2 can be assembled by the fixed connection between the third fixing portion and the third fixing cooperation portion. In this way, positioning first and then fixing is conducive to reducing the difficulty of assembling the motor bracket 12 and the chassis 2, thereby facilitating improving the assembly efficiency of the partition structure 1.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, the motor bracket 12 is provided with a mounting slot 121, such as Figure 5 The third limiting portion includes a second limiting column 1211 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 and Fig.15 The third fixing portion includes a third connecting hole 1212 (as shown) provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 121. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 and Fig.15 The mounting groove 121 may be roughly in the form of an inverted quadrangular pyramid structure, with the cross-sectional area gradually decreasing from top to bottom, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 and Fig.15 shown.

[0079] Correspondingly, the third limiting matching portion includes a second limiting hole 2132, such as Figure 8 The second limiting hole 2132 is configured to be inserted and matched with the second limiting column 1211 of the third limiting portion, as shown. Fig.11 , Fig.15 The third fixing fitting portion includes a third fixing hole 2133, as shown. Figure 8 and Fig.15As shown, the third fixing hole 2133 is configured to be fixedly connected to the third connecting hole 1212 of the third fixing portion by a fastener.

[0080] Of course, the third limiting part is not limited to the structural form of the second limiting column 1211, and can also be a limiting hole, a limiting block, a limiting groove, a limiting plate, a limiting rib and other structural forms. The third fixing part is also not limited to the structural form of the third connecting hole 1212, and can also be a connecting column, a buckle, a slot and other structural forms. Correspondingly, the third limiting matching part is also not limited to the structural form of the second limiting hole 2132, and can also be a limiting column, a limiting groove, a limiting block, a limiting plate, a limiting rib and other structural forms. The third fixed matching part is also not limited to the structural form of the third fixing hole 2133, and can also be a fixing column, a slot, a buckle and other structural forms.

[0081] In some exemplary embodiments, the chassis 2 is provided with a mounting recess 2131, such as Figure 8 , Fig.11 and Fig.15 As shown, the bottom of the motor bracket 12 is embedded in the mounting recess 2131. The second limiting hole 2132 and the third connecting hole 1212 are provided on the bottom wall of the mounting recess 2131.

[0082] In this way, the installation recess 2131 can also play a positioning and marking role in the installation of the motor bracket 12, which is conducive to the rapid positioning and assembly between the motor bracket 12 and the chassis 2.

[0083] like Figure 8 , Fig.11 and Fig.15 As shown, the number of the third connecting holes 1212 can be but is not limited to multiple (such as two, three or more), and the multiple third connecting holes 1212 are spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting recess 2131, so that the motor bracket 12 and the chassis 2 can be fixedly connected by multiple fasteners (such as screws), thereby effectively ensuring the connection reliability.

[0084] The number of the second limiting pillar 1211 may be but is not limited to one, and the second limiting pillar 1211 may be located in the central area of ​​the mounting recess 2131 .

[0085] In some exemplary embodiments, the second limiting column 1211 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 1213, such as Fig.11 As shown, the guiding slope 1213 is configured to guide the second limiting column 1211 to be inserted into the second limiting hole 2132 .

[0086] The guiding slope 1213 can guide the assembly of the second limiting column 1211. When the second limiting column 1211 is provided with the guiding slope 1213, it is convenient for the second limiting column 1211 to be smoothly inserted into the second limiting hole 2132. Therefore, the provision of the guiding slope 1213 can reduce the difficulty of assembling the partition structure 1 and the chassis 2, which is conducive to further improving the assembly efficiency.

[0087] The end of the first limiting column 1111 can be smaller than the size of the first limiting hole 2121, and the end of the second limiting portion can be smaller than the size of the second limiting hole 2132, so that the first limiting column 1111 can be quickly inserted into the first limiting hole 2121, and the second limiting column 1211 can be quickly inserted into the second limiting hole 2132.

[0088] In some exemplary embodiments, the chassis 2 is provided with a raised portion 213, such as Figure 8 , Fig.11 and Fig.15 As shown, the mounting recess 2131 is disposed on the top of the raised portion 213. The raised portion 213 may be a raised structure formed by a local structure of the chassis 2 protruding upward.

[0089] This can prevent the local structure of the chassis 2 from protruding downward and affecting the appearance of the air conditioner, and is also convenient for hiding the fasteners connecting the chassis 2 and the motor bracket 12 and the second limiting column 1211 in the space enclosed by the raised portion 213.

[0090] In some exemplary embodiments, the second limiting hole 2132 is a circular hole. Figure 8 The second limiting hole 2132 may be a circular flange 111 hole, and the flange 111 may be located in the space surrounded by the raised portion 213 .

[0091] In one embodiment, the assembly process of the partition structure 1, the chassis 2, and the side panels 3 can be as follows: first assemble the partition structure 1 and the chassis 2, and then assemble the right side panel 31 and the left side panel 32. When assembling the partition structure 1 and the chassis 2, the bottom of the partition 11 can be lowered against the partition mounting protrusion 212 on the chassis 2 (i.e., the mounting area of ​​the partition 11), and the motor bracket 12 can be placed against the mounting recess 2131 on the chassis 2 (i.e., the mounting area of ​​the motor bracket 12). During the alignment process, the first limiting column 1111 is inserted into the first limiting hole 2121 to form an initial positioning to limit the movement of the partition 11 in the front-to-back direction; then the second limiting column 1211 is inserted into the second limiting hole 2132 to form a secondary positioning to limit the movement of the partition 11 in the left-right direction, thereby achieving the pre-positioning of the partition structure 1 and the chassis 2. At this time, the first connection hole 1112 is aligned concentrically with the first fixing hole 2122, and the third connection hole 1212 is also aligned concentrically with the third fixing hole 2133, so that the partition 11 can be fixedly connected to the chassis 2 by fasteners (such as screws), and the motor bracket 12 can be fixedly connected to the chassis 2 by fasteners (such as screws). At this time, the bottom of the partition 11 is in contact with the partition mounting protrusion 212, but the bottom of the partition 11 and the sides of the bottom plate body 211 and the partition mounting protrusion 212 are clearance fits, which can prevent over-positioning and facilitate assembly; the bottom of the motor bracket 12 is in contact with the bottom wall of the mounting recess 2131, which is convenient for quickly placing the motor bracket 12 on the mounting recess 2131 position on the chassis 2 (i.e., the mounting area of ​​the motor bracket 12) on the assembly line.

[0092] After the partition 11 is assembled with the chassis 2, the side panels 3 (left panel 32 and right panel 31) are assembled. The right panel 31 can be first fixedly connected with the chassis 2 by fasteners (such as screws). After the right panel 31 is fixedly connected with the chassis 2, the second connection hole 1122 of the partition 11 is concentrically aligned with the second fixing hole 34 of the right panel 31, and the limiting protrusion 33 of the right panel 31 is just located in the limiting groove 1121 of the partition 11, which can prevent the partition 11 from swinging during the connection between the right panel 31 and the partition 11. Then, the partition 11 and the right panel 31 can be fixedly connected by fasteners (such as screws). The installation process of the left panel 32 and the partition structure 1 is the same as that of the right panel 31, which will not be repeated here. After the left panel 32 and the partition structure 1 are assembled, the left panel 32 and the right panel 31 are fixedly connected by fasteners (such as screws). After the assembly is completed, it can be seen that the folded edges 35 at the top of the left side plate 32 and the right side plate 31 are both located above the partition 11 and do not contact the partition 11, which is convenient for limiting the partition 11. First, the right side plate 31 / left side plate 32 is fixedly connected to the chassis 2, and the limiting protrusion 33 and the limiting groove 1121 are limited, and the second connection hole 1122 and the second fixing hole 34 are concentrically aligned, which can prevent the partition 11 from being deformed due to force after the left side plate 32 and the right side plate 31 are assembled.

[0093] The air conditioner can be, but is not limited to, an embedded air conditioner, which can be, but is not limited to, a kitchen air conditioner, which can be embedded in a suspended ceiling. During the assembly process of the air conditioner before it leaves the factory, the bottom plate 21 of the chassis 2 is at the bottom and the panel assembly (not shown in the figure) is at the top, so as to facilitate the assembly process of the air conditioner. The panel assembly can be provided with structures such as an air outlet and a return air outlet. During the assembly process of the air conditioner after it leaves the factory, the air conditioner is turned upside down so that the bottom plate 21 of the chassis 2 is at the top and the panel assembly of the air conditioner is at the bottom. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.12 , Fig.15 The up and down directions are marked based on the up and down directions during the assembly process of the air conditioner before it leaves the factory.
