Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The electronic control components in the air conditioner's electronic control box will generate heat during operation. Maintaining a suitable temperature environment plays an important role in the life and reliability of the electronic control components.

[0003] The internal space of a small integrated air conditioner is already very compact. In order to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control components in the electronic control box, the small integrated air conditioner in the prior art usually needs to be equipped with an air inlet fan and an air outlet fan on the air inlet side and the air outlet side respectively for auxiliary heat dissipation. However, the two sets of fans for auxiliary heat dissipation not only increase the space requirements, but also greatly increase the energy consumption of the air conditioner. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is to overcome at least one defect in the prior art and provide an air conditioner which can effectively dissipate heat from electronic control components while reducing space occupation and not significantly increasing energy consumption.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an air conditioner, which comprises:

[0006] A shell, wherein the front and rear sides of the shell are respectively an air outlet side and an air inlet side;

[0007] A condensing assembly is arranged in the housing and close to the air outlet side, and the condensing assembly includes a condenser and a condensing fan;

[0008] an evaporator, disposed inside the shell;

[0009] An electric control component is arranged inside the shell, and the electric control component is located between the condenser and the air inlet side; the electric control component includes an electric control mounting base plate, a first electric control, and a second electric control; the electric control mounting base plate is connected to the shell, the first electric control part and the second electric control part are connected to the shell at intervals, the evaporator is connected to the electric control mounting base plate and is located between the first electric control part and the second electric control part; a heat dissipation channel is provided on the side of the first electric control part and the second electric control part close to the condenser.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are:

[0011] Since the evaporator absorbs heat when evaporating, that is, the evaporator absorbs heat around the evaporator during the evaporation process, by arranging an electric control component including an electric control mounting base plate, a first electric control part and a second electric control part, the evaporator, the first electric control part and the second electric control part are all arranged on the electric control mounting base plate, and the evaporator is arranged between the first electric control part and the second electric control part. The heat absorption characteristic of the evaporator when evaporating can be utilized to cool and dissipate the heat of the first electric control part and the second electric control part arranged on both sides of the evaporator. There is no need to arrange a group of fans on the air inlet side of the air conditioner for auxiliary heat dissipation. Only a group of condensing fans can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the electric control component, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioner and making the air conditioner more energy-efficient. Only one group of condensing fans is required, which occupies a small space, and can further reduce the volume of the entire air conditioner and reduce the packaging cost.

[0012] As an improvement, a door-shaped mounting frame is detachably connected to the electric control mounting base plate, and the evaporator is wrapped and limited in the inner cavity of the mounting frame. In this structure, by setting a door-shaped mounting frame on the electric control mounting base plate, the connection and limit of the evaporator are realized, which is not only convenient for installation, but also has high stability after installation.

[0013] In a further improvement, the mounting frame includes a fixing plate, both ends of the fixing plate are bent 90° toward the same side to form two mutually parallel supporting plates, and the ends of the two supporting plates away from the fixing plate are bent outward to form supporting legs for detachable connection with the electric control mounting base plate. In the above improved structure, the door-shaped mounting frame is formed by bending a fixing plate, which is easy to process and has high structural strength; in addition, two supporting legs are bent and formed at the open end of the mounting frame to achieve detachable connection with the electric control mounting base plate, which has a simple structure and is easy to process.

[0014] In a further improvement, a connection plate extending downward is provided at the lower end of the middle part of the fixing plate, and the lower end of the connection plate is bent toward the direction of the electric control installation bottom plate to form a limit support plate for vertically supporting the evaporator. In the above improved structure, the limit support plate structure is arranged to fix the evaporator in the vertical direction, thereby further improving the installation reliability of the evaporator.

[0015] In a further improvement, a first electric control box of the first electric control unit is provided with a plurality of first heat dissipation holes on a side close to the evaporator; a second electric control box of the second electric control unit is provided with a plurality of second heat dissipation holes on a side close to the evaporator; a third heat dissipation hole and a fourth heat dissipation hole are provided on a side of the first electric control box and the second electric control box away from the evaporator, respectively. In the above improved structure, corresponding heat dissipation holes are provided on the opposite side walls of the first electric control box and the second electric control box, respectively, to form an air circulation channel, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation of the first electric control unit and the second electric control unit.

[0016] As a further improvement, the electric control assembly further comprises a third electric control unit arranged at the lower end of the electric control installation base plate; and fifth heat dissipation through holes are provided on the front and rear side walls of the third electric control box of the third electric control unit.

[0017] Further improvement, the left and right side walls of the first electric control box, the second electric control box, and the front and rear side walls of the third electric control box are all connected to the outside of each heat dissipation through hole, and the lower part of each dust cover is provided with an opening. In the above improved structure, the dust cover can prevent dust from entering the interior of the electric control box, and prevent dust from accumulating on the electric control components inside the electric control box, thereby affecting the normal operation of the internal electric control components.

[0018] Further improved, the air inlet side is provided with a first air inlet panel and a second air inlet panel, the first air inlet panel is provided with an inspection port, the second air inlet panel is detachably connected to the inspection port; the first air inlet panel and the second air inlet panel are both provided with air inlet holes. In the above improved structure, by providing an inspection port on the first air inlet panel and detachably providing the second air inlet panel at the inspection port, when inspecting the water pump near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner, the second air inlet panel can be removed, and the hand can be extended into the air conditioner through the inspection port to inspect the water pump near the air inlet side inside the air conditioner. Compared with the traditional large-sized rear cover body that is disassembled and associated with other components, the size of the second air inlet panel is relatively small, and it is an independent plate without any other components associated with it, so it is relatively convenient and quick to disassemble and assemble, thereby improving the inspection efficiency of the water pump.
