[0056] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the air conditioner is specifically a mobile air conditioner 10, and the mobile air conditioner 10 includes: a compressor 30, a functional component 40 and a chassis 70, wherein the compressor 30 and the functional component 40 are installed on the chassis 70 at intervals, and the functional component 40 is a heat exchange component 50. It can be understood that since there is a risk of collision between the compressor 30 and the heat exchange component 50 in the mobile air conditioner 10, for this reason, this embodiment proposes a protective plate structure 20.
[0057] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the air conditioner is not limited to the mobile air conditioner 10, but may also be an air conditioning device such as an air conditioner outdoor unit. For the convenience of description, the mobile air conditioner 10 is taken as an example in the following description. Figures 1 to 8 The fender structure 20 is shown to illustrate.
[0058] Reference Figure 1As shown, the functional component 40 is a heat exchange assembly 50. In the embodiment of the utility model, the compressor 30 and the heat exchange assembly 50 are installed on the chassis 70 at intervals, the compressor 30 is arranged in the middle of the chassis 70, and the heat exchange assembly 50 is arranged along the edge of the chassis 70. In order to reduce the risk of the compressor 30 directly hitting the heat exchange assembly 50 when tilting, the protective plate structure 10 is installed between the compressor 30 and the heat exchange assembly 50, so as to prevent the compressor 30 from hitting the heat exchange assembly 50, reduce the possibility of damage to the heat exchange assembly 50 due to collision, and thus improve the reliability of the air conditioner.
[0059] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the protective plate structure 20 includes: a plate body 21, wherein the plate body 21 is installed between the compressor 30 and the heat exchange assembly 50. When the compressor 30 falls toward the heat exchange assembly 50, the plate body 21 can prevent the compressor 30 from hitting the heat exchange assembly 50, thereby protecting the heat exchange assembly 50. In order to improve the assembly efficiency of the plate body 21 and the connection firmness of the plate body 21 and the heat exchange assembly 50, refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a snap-on portion 100 is provided at one end of the plate body 21, and a fixing portion 110 is provided at the other end. Correspondingly, the heat exchange component 50 is provided with a buckle position 400 matching the snap-on portion 100, wherein the snap-on portion 100 can cooperate with the buckle position 400 for buckling, so that one end of the plate body 21 can be quickly fixed to the heat exchange component 50.
[0060] Based on this, in order to prevent the protective plate structure 20 from being easily damaged when the compressor 30 falls and hits, refer to Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the buckle portion 100 of the plate body 21 is buckled in the buckle position 400 of the heat exchange component 50, and the fixing portion 110 of the plate body 21 is fixedly connected to the heat exchange component 50. During assembly, after the buckle portion 100 is buckled in the buckle position 400, the plate body 21 can be rotated around the buckle 420 under the action of external force, so that the fixing portion 110 approaches the heat exchange component 50. After the plate body 21 rotates into place, the fixing portion 110 is fixedly connected to the heat exchange component 50. In this way, the screw connection structure can be reduced and the assembly efficiency can be improved. When the compressor 30 falls and collides, the protective plate structure 20 is not easily damaged, the anti-collision effect is higher, and the structural reliability of the air conditioner is improved.
[0061] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, when the protective plate structure 20 is assembled, the buckle part 100 is first buckled in the buckle position 400 of the heat exchange component 50, so as to realize the positioning of the plate body 21 by first fixing one end of the plate body 21; at this time, the plate body 21 can rotate around the buckle joint 420 under the action of external force, and it can be understood that the buckle joint 420 is the connection position between the buckle part 100 and the buckle position 400; when the plate body 21 rotates to the point where the whole body can fit on the surface of the heat exchange component 50, the fixing part 110 can be fixedly connected with the heat exchange component 50. In this embodiment, the fixing part 110 and the heat exchange component 50 can be connected by fasteners (not shown in the figure), and can also be connected by other fixed connection methods such as riveting or welding.
[0062] It is understood that in the embodiment of the present utility model, the protective plate structure 20 can be L-shaped, so as to be assembled on Figure 1 The heat exchanger 500 shown in FIG. 5 is substantially L-shaped in cross section, and can also be straight bar-shaped so as to be assembled on a planar heat exchanger 500. The shape of the plate 21 of this embodiment is not limited to L-shaped or straight bar-shaped, and the specific shape of the plate 21 can be selected and set accordingly according to the shape of the functional component 40.
[0063] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the buckle portion 100 is constructed as a lug 101 formed by bending the end of the plate body 21, and the lug 101 is arranged at the edge of the plate body 21. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the buckle position 400 of the heat exchange component 50 is constructed as a through hole 410 that matches the lug 101. Based on this, when the protective plate structure 20 is assembled, the lug 101 can be inserted into the through hole 410, and then the lug 101 and the through hole 410 can be buckled together by rotating the plate body 21.
[0064] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the lug 101 at the right end of the plate body 21 is the first lug 1011, and the through hole 410 of the heat exchanger 500 is the first through hole 511. During assembly, the first lug 1011 is first inserted into the first through hole 511, and then the plate body 21 is rotated around the connection position of the first lug 1011 and the first through hole 511 until the plate body 21 is attached to the surface of the heat exchanger 500. At this time, the first lug 1011 is buckled with the first through hole 511, and the assembly operation is more convenient and quick compared to the fixing methods such as screw connection. The rotation of the plate body 21 around the buckle 420 can make the fixing part 110 accurately rotate to the installation position in the heat exchanger 500, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the plate body 21. Then, by fixing the fixing part 110 with the heat exchanger 500, the assembly of the plate body 21 is completed, so that the assembly efficiency and disassembly efficiency of the protective plate structure 20 can be improved.
[0065] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the plate body 21 is an L-shaped bending structure, which is suitable for Figure 1 The cross-sectional shape of the heat exchange assembly 50 is generally L-shaped. In this embodiment, the plate body 21 is provided with a positioning portion 120, and the positioning portion 120 and the buckle portion 100 are located at the same end of the plate body 21. Specifically, the positioning portion 120 can be arranged between the buckle portion 100 and the fixing portion 110. Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the heat exchange assembly 50 is provided with a limiting structure 430 that cooperates with the positioning portion 120. Specifically, when the plate body 21 rotates around the buckle joint 420, the positioning portion 120 can cooperate with the limiting structure 430 to limit the movement of the plate body 21, thereby improving the stability of the protective plate structure 20.
[0066] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, the fixing portion 110 is constructed as a connecting hole 111 formed at the end of the plate body 21. Specifically, the connecting hole 111 passes through the plate body 21. Therefore, when the plate body 21 is rotated into place around the buckle 420, the connecting hole 111 can be connected to the heat exchange assembly 50.
[0067] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the connection hole 111 is fixedly connected to the heat exchange assembly 50 by a fastener. It can be understood that when the protective plate structure 20 is assembled, the first lug 1011 can be inserted into the first through hole 511 first, and then the first lug 1011 and the first through hole 511 can be buckled by rotating the plate body 21, so as to achieve the pre-fixation of one end of the plate body 21; after being rotated to the right position, the connection hole 111 can be fixed to the other end of the plate body 21 by a fastener, so that the installation of the plate body 21 can be completed. This assembly method is not only simple and convenient to operate, but also improves the assembly efficiency of the protective plate structure 20, and can also ensure the assembly accuracy and firmness of the protective plate structure 20.
[0068] In one example, the fastener is a screw, and the heat exchange component 50 is provided with a screw hole connected to the connection hole 111. Based on this, the fastener can be inserted into the connection hole 111 and cooperate with the screw hole of the heat exchange component 50 to achieve a fastened connection in a threaded connection manner. It should be noted that the fastener is not limited to a screw, but can also be a rivet, etc. The fastener and the connection hole 111 can be selected and set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

The reinforcing rib 170 is formed by protruding outward from the surface of the plate body 21, and the reinforcing rib 170 and the plate body 21 can be integrally formed. The reinforcing rib 170 can improve the rigidity of the plate body 21, so that the plate body 21 can still maintain its structural stability when it is hit, and reduce the risk of deformation of the plate body 21 due to the collision. In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 170 can be as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 170 are arranged side by side on the plate body 21 ; an annular reinforcing rib 170 may also be arranged on the plate body 21 .

The first side plate 510 and the second side plate 520 are respectively fixedly connected to the two end surfaces of the heat exchanger 500. The first side plate 510 is a plastic part, and the second side plate 520 is a sheet metal part.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the buckle portion 100 is configured as a first lug 1011 formed by bending the end of the plate body 21. Figure 2 As shown, the right end of the plate body 21 is bent forward to form a first lug 1011. Correspondingly, the front end of the first side plate 510 is provided with a first through hole 511 extending in the front-to-back direction, and the first through hole 511 is suitable for the first lug 1011 to pass through. Figure 3 As shown, when the protective plate structure 20 is assembled, the first lug 1011 is inserted into the first through hole 511 along the front-to-back direction, and then the plate body 21 is rotated around the buckle joint 420, that is, rotated leftward around the height direction. Figure 3 The direction indicated by the arrow below the middle plate body 21 is the direction in which the plate body 21 rotates around the buckle joint 420 .
[0072] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the plate body 21 is rotated into position by rotating around the buckle joint 420 so that the plate body 21 is entirely attached to the surface of the heat exchanger 500. At this time, the first lug 1011 faces leftward, and the first lug 1011 is attached to the front end surface of the first side plate 510, thereby achieving buckling with the first through hole 511, and completing the pre-fixation of the plate body 21. In this embodiment, the second side plate 520 is provided with a mounting portion 521 matching the fixing portion 110. When the plate body 21 is rotated into position, the fixing portion 110 and the mounting portion 521 can cooperate to achieve fixed connection, thereby completing the assembly of the plate body 21.
[0073] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the edge of the first lug 1011 is provided with a guide surface 1014 inclined outwardly, and specifically, the guide surface 1014 is inclined forward and rightward. The setting of the guide surface 1014 can facilitate the assembler to insert the first lug 1011 into the first through hole 511, thereby improving the fastening speed of the first lug 1011 and the first through hole 511, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the plate body 21.
[0074] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the first lug 1011 is provided with a limiting hole 1012, and the limiting hole 1012 penetrates the first lug 1011 along the left-right direction.

The stopper hole 1012 is configured to be suitable for the stopper 513 to pass through. Therefore, when the first lug 1011 is attached to the end surface of the first flange 512, the stopper 513 is buckled with the stopper hole 1012.
