[0010] In some embodiments, a heat exchanger is disposed in the heat exchange box, and the first folded edge is disposed between the heat exchanger and the top cover to further facilitate the connection between the reinforcement member and the top cover.

[0011] In some embodiments, the reinforcement member has a second folded edge, and the second folded edge is connected to the air duct to improve maintenance efficiency.

[0012] In some embodiments, one of the reinforcement and the side panel is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a slot, and the buckle can be snapped into the slot to facilitate the installation of the reinforcement.

[0013] In some embodiments, the two side panels are spaced apart, and when the reinforcement is connected to the top cover, the reinforcement, the chassis and the two side panels surround an air outlet to prevent the reinforcement from interfering with the air outlet.

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0036] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0037] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] In addition, in the present utility model, descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0039] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0040] The heat exchange box, heat exchange assembly and duct unit provided in this embodiment are intended to solve the technical problem at least to a certain extent.

[0041] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the heat exchange box of some embodiments; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded view of the heat exchange box; Figure 3 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the installation of the reinforcement of the heat exchange box. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The heat exchange box of the embodiment of the present application comprises: a top cover 10, a bottom plate 20, a reinforcement member 30 and two side plates 40. The two side plates 40 are respectively located on opposite sides of the top cover 10 in the length direction and are detachably connected to the top cover 10 and the bottom plate 20. The reinforcement member 30 is respectively connected to the two side plates 40 and is connected to the top cover 10 and / or the bottom plate 20.

[0042] Since the two side panels 40 are respectively located on opposite sides of the top cover 10 in the length direction and are detachably connected to the top cover 10 and the chassis 20, the reinforcement 30 is respectively connected to the two side panels 40 and to the top cover 10 and / or the chassis 20. Therefore, the reinforcement 30 is arranged along the length direction of the top cover 10. The reinforcement 30 can increase the structural strength of the heat exchange box in the length direction, ensure the structural strength of the heat exchange box, reduce the possibility of deformation or damage of the heat exchange box, thereby increasing the service life of the heat exchange box and improving the user experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, when the number of the reinforcement member 30 is one, the reinforcement member 30 may be connected to the top cover 10 or to the bottom plate 20. When the number of the reinforcement member 30 is two, the two reinforcement members 30 may be connected to the top cover 10 and the bottom plate 20 respectively.

[0044] Since the bottom plate 20 will carry components such as the water receiving pan and the heat exchanger, the structural strength of the bottom plate 20 will generally be relatively large to ensure the stability of the bottom plate 20 supporting the water receiving pan, the heat exchanger and other components. However, the top cover 10 is only used as a cover. In order to reduce costs, its structural strength is generally relatively small. When the top cover 10 is long, the top cover 10 is prone to deformation. In some embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the top cover 10, the reinforcement 30 is detachably connected to the top cover 10. The reinforcement 30 can increase the structural strength of the top cover 10 in the length direction, ensure the structural strength of the top cover 10, reduce the possibility of deformation or damage of the top cover 10, so as to increase the service life of the top cover 10 and improve the user experience. At the same time, since the reinforcement 30 is connected to the two side panels 40, the overall structural strength of the heat exchange box can also be increased, and the possibility of deformation or damage of the heat exchange box can be reduced, so as to increase the service life of the heat exchange box and improve the user experience.

[0045] Figure 5 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the reinforcement of the heat exchange box. Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the connection between the reinforcement 30 and the top cover 10, the reinforcement 30 has a first folded edge 301, and the first folded edge 301 is detachably connected to the top cover 10, so that the reinforcement 30 can be connected to the top cover 10 while being connected to the two side panels 40. The top cover 10 is an existing component, and there is no need to change the structure or shape of the top cover 10. The top cover 10 can be directly connected to the first folded edge 301, thereby realizing the connection between the top cover 10 and the reinforcement 30, reducing the processing cost, and at the same time, reducing the installation difficulty of the top cover 10 and improving the installation efficiency. Moreover, connecting the top cover 10 and the reinforcement 30 together can improve the structural strength of the top cover 10.

[0046] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, in order to further facilitate the connection between the reinforcement 30 and the top cover 10, a heat exchanger 50 is provided in the heat exchange box, and a first folded edge 301 is provided between the heat exchanger 50 and the top cover 10. The top cover 10 can be directly connected to the first folded edge 301 to support the top cover 10 through the first folded edge 301, so that the top cover 10 can cover the top of the heat exchanger 50 to shield the heat exchanger 50.

[0047] In some embodiments, the top cover 10, the bottom plate 20 and the two side panels 40 can be enclosed to form a chamber, and the heat exchanger 50 can be accommodated in the chamber. The top cover 10, the bottom plate 20 and the two side panels 40 can shield the heat exchanger 50 to prevent external debris from colliding with the heat exchanger 50, thereby ensuring the safety of the heat exchanger 50. At the same time, it also prevents the heat exchanger 50 from being exposed, thereby ensuring aesthetics.

[0048] When it is necessary to inspect and repair the components in the heat exchange box, the top cover 10 needs to be removed from the side plate 40. In the prior art, the air duct is connected to the top cover 10 through a flange. Before removing the top cover 10, the air duct needs to be removed from the top cover 10, so that the top cover 10 can be removed. This operation is troublesome and the workload is large. Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, in order to improve the maintenance efficiency, the reinforcement 30 has a second folded edge 302, and the second folded edge 302 is connected to the air duct. The air duct is supported by the second folded edge 302 to achieve the connection between the heat exchange box and the air duct. That is to say, there is no connection between the air duct and the top cover 10. When the components in the heat exchange box need to be repaired, the top cover 10 can be directly removed from the side panel 40 without removing the air duct. The workload is small, the operation is simple, the labor intensity is reduced, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is improved.

[0049] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first folded edge 301 and the second folded edge 302 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first folded edge 301 extends into the heat exchange box body to facilitate the connection between the first folded edge 301 and the top cover 10, so that the first folded edge 301 can support the top cover 10. At the same time, the top cover 10 can be connected to the reinforcement 30 together, which can improve the structural strength of the top cover 10. The second folded edge 302 extends outside the heat exchange box body to facilitate the connection between the second folded edge 302 and the air duct.

[0050] Figure 4 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of removing the top cover of the middle heat exchange box; Figure 6 for Figure 5 Rear view of the middle reinforcement; Figure 7 for Figure 6 The enlarged schematic diagram at A in the middle; Figure 8 for Figure 5 Top view of the middle reinforcement. Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation of the reinforcement 30 , one of the reinforcement 30 and the side panel 40 is provided with a buckle 303 , and the other is provided with a slot 401 , and the buckle 303 can be locked in the slot 401 .

[0051] In some embodiments, when the reinforcement 30 is to be installed, the buckle 303 is snapped into the slot 401 to achieve pre-installation of the reinforcement 30. The buckle 303 is snapped into the slot 401 to support the reinforcement 30. When the reinforcement 30 is fastened to the side panel 1011, there is no need to support the reinforcement 30, which makes it easier for the installer to install the reinforcement 30, reduces the difficulty of installation, reduces the workload, and improves the installation efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments, the buckle 303 is engaged with the slot 401 to achieve positioning of the reinforcement 30 on the side plate 40, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the installation position of the reinforcement 30 and further improving the installation efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, the side plate 40 may be provided with a buckle 303, and the reinforcing member 30 may be provided with a slot 401. Of course, in other embodiments, the reinforcing member 30 may be provided with a buckle 303, and the side plate 1011 may be provided with a slot 401.

[0054] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments, in order to prevent the reinforcement 30 from interfering with the air outlet, the two side panels 40 are arranged at intervals. When the reinforcement 30 is connected to the top cover 10, the reinforcement 30, the chassis 20 and the two side panels 40 are arranged to form an air outlet 60, which can ensure the area of ​​the air outlet 60, ensure the air outlet volume, and improve the user experience.

[0055] In some embodiments, in order to increase the structural strength of the heat exchanger body in the length direction, the reinforcement 30 is arranged along the length direction of the air outlet 60, which can ensure the structural strength of the heat exchanger body and reduce the possibility of deformation or damage of the heat exchanger body, thereby increasing the service life of the heat exchanger body and improving the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the connection between the reinforcement 30 and the two side panels 40, the length of the reinforcement 30 is greater than the length of the air outlet 60, so that both ends of the reinforcement 30 can extend out of the air outlet 60, so that the reinforcement 30 can be directly connected to the two side panels 40.

[0057] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the top cover 10 , a third folded edge 101 is provided at the edge of the top cover 10 .

[0058] Based on the same utility model concept, the present application also proposes a heat exchange component, which adopts a heat exchange box. The specific structure of the heat exchange box refers to the above embodiment. Since the heat exchange box adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here one by one.

[0059] In some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly includes a heat exchanger 50, which is disposed in a heat exchange box. The heat exchanger 50 is accommodated in the heat exchange box, and the heat exchanger 50 can be shielded by the heat exchanger 50 to prevent external debris from colliding with the heat exchanger 50, thereby ensuring the safety of the heat exchanger 50. At the same time, it also prevents the heat exchanger 50 from being exposed, thereby ensuring aesthetics.

[0060] Fig. 9 for Figure 6 Installation diagram of the seal. Figure 6 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, in order to achieve sealing, the heat exchange box further includes: a seal 70. The seal 70 is connected to the reinforcement 30 and contacts the heat exchanger 60. The seal 70 can isolate the reinforcement 30 from the heat exchanger 50 to achieve sealing between the reinforcement 30 and the heat exchanger 50 to prevent leakage of the heat exchanger 50. At the same time, the seal 70 can also prevent the heat exchanger 50 from contacting the reinforcement 30, so as to achieve temperature insulation and reduce the possibility of the reinforcement 30 being disturbed by the temperature at the heat exchanger 50, thereby reducing the possibility of heat exchange between the reinforcement 30 and the heat exchanger 50 causing condensation water to be generated on the reinforcement 30, thereby improving the user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, in order to make the seal 70 have sealing and heat insulation effects, heat insulation materials such as foam, sponge, etc. can be used to achieve heat insulation effects. In order to reduce costs and facilitate production, the seal 70 can be a sponge.

[0062] Based on the same utility model concept, the present application also proposes a duct air conditioner, which adopts the heat exchange component. The specific structure of the heat exchange component refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the heat exchange component adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here one by one.

[0064] In addition, in this application, descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0065] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them.

A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
