[0038] 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.

[0039] The embodiment of the present application provides a heat exchanger partition 1 and an air conditioner. The air conditioner may be a split air conditioner, an air conditioner indoor unit of a split air conditioner, or an integrated unit. From the point of view of the installation method, the air conditioner may be, but is not limited to, an embedded air conditioner. An embedded air conditioner is an air conditioning device that can be embedded inside a building. It can usually be installed on the ceiling (such as a suspended ceiling) or inside a wall. It can effectively save indoor space and has a beautiful appearance. As people's demand for indoor space increases, the market prospects for embedded air conditioners are very broad.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner includes: a casing 4, an indoor heat exchanger 2, a water receiving pan 3 and a heat exchanger partition 1. The heat exchanger partition 1 is arranged between the indoor heat exchanger 2, the water receiving pan 3 and the casing 4, and is sealed with the indoor heat exchanger 2, the water receiving pan 3 and the casing 4. The air conditioner may also include a fan 7 and other structures, such as Figure 5 The housing 4 may be provided with an air inlet and an air outlet.

[0041] The indoor heat exchanger 2, the water tray 3, the heat exchanger partition 1 and the housing 4 enclose the air outlet duct. The inlet of the fan 7 is connected to the air inlet, and the outlet of the fan 7 is connected to the air duct inlet. The air duct outlet is connected to the air outlet. When the fan 7 is running, the indoor air is sucked into the fan 7 through the air inlet, and blown out through the air duct and the air outlet after heat exchange in the heat exchanger.

[0042] The heat exchanger baffle 1 includes a baffle body 11 and an edge portion 12 connected to the baffle body 11. Fig.11 shown.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the edge portion 12 is provided with a first functional area 121, a second functional area 122 and a third functional area 123. The partition body 11 is provided with a fourth functional area. The first functional area 121 is provided with a first functional part that can be sealed with the indoor heat exchanger 2 of the air conditioner. The second functional area 122 is provided with a second functional part that can be sealed with the water receiving pan 3 of the air conditioner. The third functional area 123 is provided with a third functional part that can be sealed with the casing 4 of the air conditioner. The fourth functional area is provided with an installation part for installing an expansion module.

[0044] Therefore, the heat exchanger partition 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with multiple functional areas and is a multifunctional partition. It can realize the sealing matching function of the heat exchanger partition 1 with the indoor heat exchanger 2, the water receiving tray 3 and the casing 4 through the first functional area 121, the second functional area 122 and the third functional area 123 of the edge portion 12, and can also install the expansion module through the fourth functional area of ​​the partition body 11, so that the expansion module can be installed without increasing the size of the fuselage, which is conducive to meeting the layout requirements of the air conditioner for new functions.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water receiving pan 3 is located at the lower side of the indoor heat exchanger 2, and can collect the condensed water dripping from the indoor heat exchanger 2. The indoor heat exchanger 2 can be, but is not limited to, an inclined straight plate structure. One end of the indoor heat exchanger 2 is provided with a port connected to the refrigerant input and output pipes, and the heat exchanger partition 1 is vertically arranged on the side of the indoor heat exchanger 2 provided with the port.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the first functional part includes: a first flange 1211. The first flange 1211 is configured to fit and seal with the indoor heat exchanger 2. The indoor heat exchanger 2 may be provided with a side plate 21, and the first flange 1211 may fit with the side plate 21 to achieve a sealing function.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first functional part further includes a second flange 1212, the first flange 1211 is folded toward a first side in the thickness direction of the partition body 11 (e.g., a side facing the main part of the indoor heat exchanger 2), and the second flange 1212 is folded toward a second side in the thickness direction of the partition body 11 (e.g., a side facing away from the main part of the indoor heat exchanger 2). The second flange 1212 is provided with a clamping portion 1214, and the clamping portion 1214 is configured to be clamped and matched with the indoor heat exchanger 2.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the indoor heat exchanger 2 is provided with a snap-fitting portion 22 , and the snap-fitting portion 22 is configured to snap-fit ​​with the snap-fitting portion 1214 of the second flange 1212 of the heat exchanger partition 1 .

[0049] In this way, the heat exchanger partition 1 and the indoor heat exchanger 2 can be pre-fixed, which is helpful to reduce the difficulty of assembly and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0050] As for the specific structural form of the snap-fitting portion 1214 and the snap-fitting portion 22, there is no restriction. For example, the snap-fitting portion 1214 can be, but not limited to, a snap buckle, a snap hook, a snap slot, a snap hole, and other structures; correspondingly, the snap-fitting portion 22 can be, but not limited to, a snap slot, a snap hole, a snap buckle, a snap hook, and other structures. In addition, the number of the snap-fitting portions 1214 is also not limited, and can be one, two, three or more. Similarly, the number of the snap-fitting portions 22 is also not limited. In one example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamping portion 1214 is a clamping hole, and two clamping holes are provided. The clamping matching portion 22 is a buckle, and two buckles are provided.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first flange 1211 is provided with a first fixing portion 1213 at one end (lower end) close to the water receiving tray 3. Figure 5 As shown, the first fixing portion 1213 is configured to be fixedly connected to the side plate 21 of the indoor heat exchanger 2 by means of fasteners (such as screws). Thus, the heat exchanger partition 1 also plays a role in assisting the fixing of the indoor heat exchanger 2.

[0052] The first fixing portion 1213 may be, but is not limited to, a fixing hole, a fixing column or other structures.

[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the second functional portion includes a first folded edge 1221 bent and connected to the partition body 11 and a second folded edge 1222 bent and connected to the first folded edge 1221. The first folded edge 1221 is configured to abut and seal against a third folded edge 31 provided on the water receiving tray 3. The second folded edge 1222 is configured to be inserted into the water receiving tray 3 to guide condensed water to flow into the water receiving tray 3.

[0054] In this way, the matching parts of the heat exchanger partition 1 and the water receiving pan 3 form an overlapping matching structure, which is beneficial to improving the sealing effect and can also guide the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger partition 1 to the water receiving pan 3.

[0055] Among them, Figure 7 As shown, the first folded edge 1221 can extend approximately in the horizontal direction relative to the partition body 11, and the first folded edge 1221 can be sealed against the top of the third folded edge 31. The second folded edge 1222 can extend downward approximately in the vertical direction relative to the first folded edge 1221, so that the condensed water on the heat exchanger partition 1 can flow back into the water receiving tray 3 along the first folded edge 1221 and the second folded edge 1222.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, there is a gap between the third folded edge 31 of the water receiving tray 3 and the second folded edge 1222 of the heat exchanger partition 1, and the width of the gap can be in the range of but not limited to 1mm to 3mm, such as 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, etc. The width of the first folded edge 1221 is greater than or equal to 8mm. The insertion depth of the part of the second folded edge 1222 inserted into the water receiving tray 3 is greater than or equal to 8mm.

[0057] It has been verified by experiments that this is conducive to ensuring a better sealing effect and drainage effect. Of course, the width of the gap, the width of the first folded edge 1221 and the insertion depth of the second folded edge 1222 are not limited to the above ranges and can be adjusted as needed.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second functional portion further includes a clamping portion 1223, such as Figure 8 As shown, the clamping portion 1223 is located on the side of the second folded edge 1222 away from the water receiving tray 3, and is configured to clamp the third folded edge 31 of the water receiving tray 3. This is conducive to improving the matching reliability between the heat exchanger partition 1 and the water receiving tray 3, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0059] The clamping portion 1223 may be an L-shaped elastic plate, and together with the second folded edge 1222 , a clamping groove is formed, and the third folded edge 31 of the water receiving tray 3 may be inserted into the clamping groove to be clamped and fixed.

[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, the third functional portion includes a third flange 1231, such as Figure 8 The third flange 1231 is folded toward the second side of the thickness direction of the partition body 11 (eg, the side facing away from the main body of the indoor heat exchanger 2 ), and the third flange 1231 is configured to seal with the housing 4 to achieve a sealing function with the housing 4 .

[0061] The third flange 1231 may be roughly an L-shaped flange with rounded corners, including a horizontal flange and a vertical flange. The horizontal flange is located at the upper end of the partition body 11 , and the upper end of the vertical flange is connected to an end of the horizontal flange away from the first flange 1211 .

[0062] In some embodiments, a duct foam member 41 is provided between the housing 4 and the heat exchanger partition 1. Figure 8 As shown, the housing 4 is sealed with the heat exchanger partition 1 through the air duct foam member 41.

[0063] The air duct foam member 41 is provided with a limiting groove 411, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the third flange 1231 of the heat exchanger partition 1 is at least partially embedded in the limiting groove 411.

[0064] The air duct foam member 41 has good heat insulation and sealing effects, which is equivalent to a seal, and can ensure that the gap between the heat exchanger partition 1 and the housing 4 is reliably sealed. The limiting groove 411 can limit and fix the heat exchanger partition 1, and also play a sealing role, which is conducive to improving the position stability and use reliability of the heat exchanger partition 1.

[0065] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the depth b of the limiting groove 411 is greater than or equal to 18 mm. The width a of the third flange 1231 is greater than or equal to 15 mm. It has been verified by experiments that this is conducive to ensuring a better sealing effect and fixing effect. Of course, the depth of the limiting groove 411 and the width of the third flange 1231 are not limited to the above ranges and can be adjusted as needed.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the air duct foam member 41 is provided with a first limit block 412 and a second limit block 413. The first limit block 412 abuts against the third flange 1231 to limit the movement of the heat exchanger partition 1 along the thickness direction of the partition body. The second limit block 413 abuts against the second flange 1212 of the heat exchanger partition 1 to limit the movement of the heat exchanger partition 1 along the thickness direction of the second flange 1212. In this way, on the one hand, the heat exchanger partition 1 can be pre-fixed, which is convenient for subsequent screw fixing; it also plays a good limiting role, which is conducive to improving the position stability and use reliability of the heat exchanger partition 1.

[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the third functional part includes a second fixing part 1232 arranged at one end (upper end) of the third functional area 123 away from the water receiving tray 3, and the second fixing part 1232 is configured to be fixedly connected to the casing 4 through fasteners (such as screws).

[0068] Thus, the heat exchanger partition 1 is fixedly connected to the casing 4 , which is beneficial to ensure the position stability and use reliability of the heat exchanger partition 1 .

[0069] The second fixing portion 1232 may be, but is not limited to, a fixing hole, a fixing column, etc. In one example, the second fixing portion 1232 includes a fixing hole disposed on the flange of the lug, and the housing 4 may be provided with a boss, which is fixedly connected to the second fixing portion 1232 by screw locking.

[0070] In one embodiment, the upper end of the heat exchanger partition 1 is fixedly connected to the casing 4 by fasteners, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the indoor heat exchanger 2 by fasteners, which better ensures the position stability and use reliability of the heat exchanger partition 1.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, the fourth functional area includes at least one of the first extended functional area 111 and the second extended functional area 112, such as Figure 3 The expansion module includes at least one of a health module and an electric auxiliary heating device.

[0072] Based on the fourth functional area including the first extended functional area 111, the installation part includes a first sub-installation part for installing the health module. Based on the fourth functional area including the second extended functional area 112, the installation part includes a second sub-installation part for installing the electric auxiliary heating device 6.

[0073] Among them, the health module can be but is not limited to: negative ion generating module 5 (such as Fig.11 As shown), plasma generating modules and other modules that can purify the air, improve air quality and other functions that are beneficial to human health.

[0074] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, the first sub-mounting portion includes a third fixing portion 1111 and a mounting hole 1112. The first sub-mounting portion includes a third fixing portion 1111 and a mounting hole 1112, the third fixing portion 1111 is configured to fix the power module of the health module, and the mounting hole 1112 is configured to install the transmitting module of the health module. Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, the second sub-mounting portion includes a flange hole 1121, and the flange hole 1121 is configured to support and fix one end of the electric auxiliary heating device 6. The mounting hole 1112 may be a rectangular hole, and the flange hole 1121 may be a circular hole.

[0075] The third fixing portion 1111 may be, but is not limited to, a fixing hole, a fixing column, or the like, and the number may be one, two, or more. Fig.11 As shown, the health module is a negative ion generating module 5, and the high-voltage package (i.e., power module) of the negative ion generating module 5 is fixed to the first extended functional area 111 by two fixing columns, and the two electrodes (i.e., emission modules) of the negative ion generating module 5 are respectively fixed to the two mounting holes 1112. The two fixing columns are arranged at intervals in the up and down directions, and the spacing is in the range of 80mm to 100mm, such as 80mm, 82mm, 85mm, 87mm, 90mm, 92mm, 95mm, 97mm, 100mm, etc. The two mounting holes 1112 are arranged roughly flush with the fixing column located on the lower side, located on the side of the fixing column close to the first functional area 121, and roughly located in the middle area of ​​the partition body 11.

[0076] The flange of the flange hole 1121 can extend to the side away from the indoor heat exchanger 2. The flange hole 1121 is provided with a flange, which can better support and fix the electric auxiliary heating device 6. The other end of the electric auxiliary heating device 6 can be fixed on the housing 4 or the indoor heat exchanger 2.

[0077] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, along the flow direction of the airflow, the first extended functional area 111 is located in the downstream area of ​​the partition body 11. The second extended functional area 112 is located in the upstream area of ​​the partition body 11. The first extended functional area 111 is recessed in a direction away from the main part of the indoor heat exchanger 2.

[0078] In this way, under high humidity conditions, the air flow passing through the indoor heat exchanger 2 flows from the second expansion functional area 112 to the first expansion functional area 111. After the condensation water generated in the second expansion functional area 112 enters the first expansion functional area 111, the concave first expansion functional area 111 will cause the wind speed to decrease, and the condensation water will change direction and flow downward along with the heat exchanger partition 1, and enter the water receiving tray 3 through the first folded edge 1221 and the second folded edge 1222 of the heat exchanger partition 1. Fig.12 shown.

[0079] Among them, the recessed depth of the first extended functional area 111 can be in the range of but not limited to 4 mm to 8 mm, such as 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, etc.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, the heat exchanger partition 1 is an injection-molded plastic part.

[0081] In the related art, the heat exchanger partition 1 is usually a sheet metal part or a foam part. The sheet metal part itself has a relatively strong cold conduction capacity and generally cannot exceed the area of ​​the water tray 3. When used for downward air outlet (i.e., the air outlet is set downward), the risk of condensation will increase. In addition, it is difficult to realize the structural shape required for the expansion function of the sheet metal part. The foam part has good thermal insulation performance and no condensation risk, but it is limited by the poor strength of the material itself and cannot meet the structural requirements of the expansion function.

[0082] In this solution, the heat exchanger partition 1 is an injection-molded plastic part. Compared with sheet metal parts and foam parts, the structural design of the heat exchanger partition 1 in this solution is more flexible, which is convenient for processing the structural shape required for the expansion function, and can guide the condensation water to flow back to the water receiving tray 3 through the design of the shape (such as the first side and the second folded edge 1222 mentioned above), reducing the risk of condensation water blowing out in the case of downward air outlet and the risk of condensation on the inner wall of the air duct after the cooling mode is turned off in hot and humid weather. In addition, compared with foam parts, the structural strength of injection-molded plastic parts is relatively high, which can meet the structural requirements of the expansion function.

[0083] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger partition 1 is made of modified heat-resistant ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic) plastic injection molding, which is beneficial to improving the heat resistance and structural strength of the heat exchanger partition 1.

[0084] In summary, the heat exchanger partition and air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present application can meet the structural requirements of installing a health module and an electric auxiliary heating device without increasing the size of the machine body or adding new parts, while taking into account the air duct sealing and evaporator fixing functions of the traditional partition through the multifunctional heat exchanger partition. In addition, the heat exchanger partition is made of plastic injection molding, and the structural design is more flexible. Through reasonable shape design, the condensation water can be guided to flow back to the water receiving tray, reducing the risk of condensation water being blown out of the air outlet under the condition of downward air outlet.
