The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The evaporator of the air conditioner is usually composed of a front evaporator and a rear evaporator, which are connected and fixed by an evaporator side plate to form a desired angle. For large-volume air conditioners, multiple side plates are required to cooperate with each other to connect and fix. In order to ensure the structural strength and the stability of the side plate connecting and fixing the evaporator, an integrated side plate is usually used to fix the evaporator in the large-volume air conditioner. Since the integrated evaporator side plate is large in size and complex in structure, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the side plate installation during installation. However, in the prior art, the side plate on the right side of the evaporator is usually fixed to the chassis with only one screw and fixed to the motor cover with one clip. There is a lack of a front fixing structure, and the stability is poor, which can easily cause the front side of the side plate to fall off from the chassis during the fall, and then cause the side plate and the motor cover to fall off, which makes the evaporator at risk of being disengaged and hitting the pipe during the fall.

[0033] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0034] According to the utility model, the air conditioner 1 includes a casing, an evaporator 101, a side plate 11, a motor casing 102 and a chassis 12, wherein the evaporator 101 is arranged in the casing; the side plate 11 is arranged at one end of the evaporator 101 and is connected to the evaporator 101; the motor casing 102 is arranged in the casing and is located on the side of the side plate 11 away from the evaporator 101, and the motor casing 102 is fixedly connected to the side plate 11; the chassis 12 is arranged on the casing and is located on the outer periphery of the side plate 11; wherein a first limiting portion 121 is arranged on the chassis 12, and a second limiting portion 111 is arranged on the side plate 11, and the first limiting portion 121 cooperates with the second limiting portion 111 and is used to limit the side plate 11 from being separated from the chassis 12.

[0035] According to the utility model, the air conditioner 1 is provided with a base shell, which is used to accommodate and assemble various structures of the air conditioner 1. For example, the evaporator 101 can be arranged in the base shell, which can prevent the evaporator 101 from being exposed, thereby improving the safety of the evaporator 101. The motor shell 102 for assembling the motor can also be arranged in the base shell and arranged at one end of the evaporator 101 and electrically connected to the evaporator 101, so as to provide energy for the evaporator 101. During assembly, the air conditioner 1 can also be provided with a side plate 11 between the evaporator 101 and the motor shell 102. The side plate 11 can be used to fix and connect the evaporator 101. Specifically, the side plate 11 is arranged at one end of the evaporator 101 and connected to the evaporator 101, and the side of the side plate 11 facing away from the evaporator 101 can be connected to the motor shell 102. The provision of the side plate 11 can improve the stability of the assembly of the evaporator 101. A bottom plate 12 may be further provided at the bottom of the side plate 11 . The bottom plate 12 may cover or support at least a portion of the periphery of the side plate 11 to improve the stability of the assembly of the side plate 11 .

[0036] A first limiting portion 121 can be provided on the chassis 12, and a second limiting portion 111 can be provided on the side plate 11. After the evaporator 101 is assembled, the side plate 11 is connected to the evaporator 101 and can be limited and matched with the first limiting portion 121 on the chassis 12 through the second limiting portion 111, so that the side plate 11 and the chassis 12 are connected and fixed, ensuring the stability of the assembly of the side plate 11, thereby improving the stability of the assembly of the evaporator 101, avoiding the side plate 11 from detaching from the chassis 12, preventing the side plate 11 and the evaporator 101 from falling and hitting the pipe, and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the evaporator 101 extends in the length direction of the air conditioner 1, the side plate 11 is constructed as a plate body extending perpendicular to the evaporator 101, and the first limiting portion 121 and the second limiting portion 111 stop in the extension direction perpendicular to the evaporator 101 to limit the side plate 11 from being separated from the chassis 12.

[0038] Specifically, the evaporator 101 extends in the length direction of the air conditioner 1, which can improve the space utilization rate inside the base shell, and the side plate 11 extends in a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the evaporator 101, which can increase the matching area between the side plate 11 and the evaporator 101, so as to improve the stability of the assembly of the side plate 11 and the evaporator 101. The first limiter 121 and the second limiter 111 cooperate with each other to limit the separation of the side plate 11 and the chassis 12 in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the evaporator 101. It can also be understood that the first limiter 121 and the second limiter 111 cooperate with each other to prevent the side plate 11 from escaping from the chassis 12 in its own extension direction or in the plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the evaporator 101, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the side plate 11 and the chassis 12, and effectively preventing the evaporator 101 and the side plate 11 from falling after the side plate 11 separates from the bottom plate, thereby improving the safety of the evaporator 101 and the side plate 11.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the first limiting portion 121 is configured as a limiting protrusion protruding toward the side plate 11, and the second limiting portion 111 is configured as a limiting hook suitable for abutting against the limiting protrusion in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the evaporator 101. Specifically, the first limiting portion 121 can be configured as a limiting protrusion, which is arranged on the bottom plate 12 and protrudes toward the side plate 11, and the second limiting portion 111 on the side plate 11 can be configured as a limiting hook. When the side plate 11 is assembled, at least part of the limiting hook can contact the limiting protrusion and abut against the side plate 101 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the evaporator 101, thereby limiting the side plate 11 from coming off the bottom plate 12 and ensuring the stability of the side plate 11 and the evaporator 101.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the first limiting portion 121 includes a connecting section 1211 and a terminal portion 1212, wherein one end of the connecting section 1211 is connected to the chassis 12; the terminal portion 1212 is arranged at the free end of the connecting section 1211, and the terminal portion 1212 protrudes toward the side plate 11 and defines a limiting notch 1213 between the terminal portion 1212 and the connecting section 1211, which is suitable for abutting against the limiting hook.

[0041] Specifically, the first limiting portion 121 is provided with a connecting section 1211 and a terminal section 1212. The connecting section 1211 is connected to the chassis 12, and the terminal section 1212 is connected to an end of the connecting section 1211 away from the chassis 12. The terminal section 1212 can be understood as the portion of the limiting protrusion in the above embodiment that protrudes toward the side plate 11. A limiting notch 1213 can be defined between the terminal section 1212 and the connecting section 1211. When the side plate 11 is assembled, at least a portion of the limiting hook on the side plate 11 can extend into the limiting notch 1213 and abut against the limiting notch 1213. The abutment between the limiting notch 1213 and the limiting hook further improves the stability of the first limiting portion 121 and the second limiting portion 111 when limiting, and can prevent the first limiting portion 121 and the second limiting portion 111 from being out of engagement due to the shaking generated during the operation of the air conditioner 1.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the terminal portion 1212 gradually increases in a direction close to the connecting section 1211 to form a guiding inclined surface 1214 on a side of the terminal portion 1212 facing the side plate 11 .

[0043] Since the terminal portion 1212 protrudes toward the side plate 11, the structure of the terminal portion 1212 will affect the assembly of the side plate 11. Figure 5 As shown, the thickness of the terminal portion 1212 gradually increases in the direction approaching the connecting section 1211. The design scheme of gradually increasing thickness can form an inclined guide slope 1214 on the side surface of the terminal portion 1212 facing the side plate 11. During assembly, the evaporator 101 and the side plate 11 are assembled from top to bottom. During this process, the limiting hook first contacts with the guiding slope 1214 and moves along the guiding slope 1214 under the guidance of the guiding slope 1214. After the limiting hook passes over the guiding slope 1214, it can extend into the limiting notch 1213 and stop with the terminal portion 1212. The design of the guiding slope 1214 can improve the assembly efficiency of the side plate 11.

[0044] In some embodiments, a guide slope 1214 may be processed on one side surface of the limiting hook close to the terminal portion 1212 to further improve assembly efficiency.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the limiting hook includes a first section 1111 and a second section 1112, the first section 1111 is in surface contact with the side plate 11; the second section 1112 is arranged at the free end of the first section 1111 and is inclined in a direction away from one end of the connecting section 1211, the second section 1112 is accommodated in the limiting notch 1213 and stops against the terminal portion 1212; wherein, a side surface of the second section 1112 facing away from the side plate 11 is formed with a stopping surface 1113 that cooperates with the limiting notch 1213.

[0046] like Figure 4As shown, the limiting hook includes a first section 1111 connected to the side plate 11 and a second section 1112 cooperating with the limiting notch 1213, wherein the first section 1111 is in surface contact with at least part of the edge surface of the side plate 11, which can improve the structural strength of the limiting hook; the second section 1112 is arranged at the free end of the first section 1111, and the second section 1112 is inclined in a direction away from one end of the connecting section 1211. It can also be understood that the second section 1112 extends obliquely in a direction away from the side plate 11 and close to the terminal portion 1212 in the plane where the side plate 11 is located so as to extend into the limiting notch 1213 and cooperate with the first limiting portion 121.

[0047] In some embodiments, a stop surface 1113 is formed on the side surface of the second section 1112 facing the side plate 11, and the stop surface 1113 can be abutted against the limiting notch 1213. The stop surface 1113 can also be understood as a plane processed at the free end of the second section 1112 at a position close to the side plate 11 to cooperate with the limiting notch 1213. The setting of the stop surface 1113 can increase the contact area between the second section 1112 and the inner wall of the limiting notch 1213 when the stop surface 1113 is abutted, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the limiting hook and the limiting protrusion.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first limiting portion 121 is at least partially spaced from the side wall of the chassis 12 to form a deformation gap 122 for deformation of the first limiting portion 121. Since the limiting hook needs to extend into the limiting notch 1213 after passing over the guiding inclined surface 1214, the structure of the first limiting portion 121 will affect the cooperation between the limiting hook and the limiting notch 1213. Specifically, a deformation gap 122 can be reserved between the first limiting portion 121 and the side wall of the chassis 12 to facilitate the deformation of the first limiting portion 121. During assembly, the limiting hook moves along the guiding bevel 1214 under the guidance of the guiding bevel 1214. At this time, the first limiting portion 121 is deformed toward the deformation gap 122. When the limiting hook passes over the guiding bevel 1214, the first limiting portion 121 is deformed and restored, so that the limiting hook can extend into the limiting notch 1213, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the first limiting portion 121 and the second limiting portion 111.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the utility model, a baffle 123 is provided on the chassis 12, extending in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the evaporator 101 and protruding toward the side plate 11, and the upper end of the baffle 123 is connected to the first limiting portion 121, and the baffle 123 is suitable for abutting against a side surface of the side plate 11 facing away from the evaporator 101.

[0050] Specifically, a baffle 123 is also provided on the chassis 12, and the baffle 123 extends in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the evaporator 101. It can be understood that the extension direction of the baffle 123 is the same as the extension direction of the first limiting portion 121, and the baffle 123 protrudes toward the side plate 11. When the side plate 11 is assembled, the baffle 123 can be stopped against the side of the side plate 11 away from the evaporator 101 to limit the movement of the side plate 11 in the extension direction of the evaporator 101, thereby further improving the stability of the assembly of the side plate 11 and the evaporator 101.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of drainage grooves 124 are further provided on the chassis 12 , and an arc-shaped protrusion 112 protruding toward the chassis 12 in the height direction is formed on the side plate 11 , and the arc-shaped protrusion 112 is suitable for being received in one of the drainage grooves 124 .

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of drainage grooves 124 are provided on the chassis 12, and the drainage grooves 124 are used to guide the condensed water of the air conditioner 1. An arc-shaped protrusion 112 protruding toward the chassis 12 may also be provided on the side panel 11. During assembly, at least a portion of the arc-shaped protrusion 112 may be accommodated in one of the drainage grooves 124. At this time, the side wall of the drainage groove 124 may support the arc-shaped protrusion 112 of the side panel 11, so that the chassis 12 can provide support for the side panel 11, further improving the stability of the assembly of the side panel 11.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the side plate 11 is further provided with a clamping portion 103 suitable for clamping with the motor housing 102 and a fastener installation position connected with the fastener of the motor housing 102. During assembly, the side plate 11 is further provided with a clamping portion 103, and the clamping portion 103 can be clamped with the motor housing 102 to improve the stability of the connection between the side plate 11 and the motor housing 102. At the same time, the side plate 11 can also be provided with a fastener installation position, and is fixed to the chassis 12 through the fastener.

[0054] In some embodiments, the clamping portion 103 can be set in the middle of the side panel 11, and the fastener installation position is set at the end of the side panel 11 away from the second limiting portion 111. The side panel 11 is connected to the chassis 12 and the motor housing 102 respectively through the second limiting portion 111, the fastener installation position and the clamping portion 103, thereby improving the stability of the side panel 11 and the evaporator 101, avoiding the side panel 11 and the evaporator 101 from falling and hitting the pipe, and thus improving the safety of the air conditioner 1.

[0055] In summary, the air conditioner 1 sets the side plate 11 at one end of the evaporator 101 and connects it to the evaporator 101. After the evaporator 101 and the side plate 11 are assembled into the base shell of the air conditioner 1, the second limiting portion 111 on the side plate 11 and the second limiting portion 121 on the chassis 12 can be mutually limited and matched to prevent the side plate 11 from detaching from the chassis 12 and causing the evaporator 101 to fall and hit the pipe. During the assembly process, the second limiting portion 111 can be moved along the guide slope 121 on the first limiting portion 121. 14 moves, at this time, the first limiting portion 121 is deformed to reduce the difficulty of assembling the side plate 11, and when the stop surface 1113 on the second section 1112 of the second limiting portion 111 passes over the guiding inclined surface 1214, the first limiting portion 121 is deformed and restored to make at least a part of the second section 1112 extend into the limiting notch 1213, thereby ensuring the stability of the first limiting portion 121 and the second limiting portion 111 when they are matched, thereby improving the stability of the side plate 11 and the evaporator 101 and ensuring the safety of the air conditioner 1.
