The following description is given to enable any technician in the field to implement and use the present application. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the present application can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present application with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in the present application.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, on the one hand, the embodiment of the present application provides a pipeline installation structure 101, which includes a surrounding plate 10 and a sealing plate 20, which can clamp and lock the pipeline to avoid various problems caused by loose pipelines. Here, the pipeline installation structure 101 can be applied to equipment such as air conditioners 1 that require pipeline installation, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0028] A first locking portion 11 is provided on the enclosure 10, and a second locking portion 21 is provided on the side of the sealing plate 20. The enclosure 10 and the sealing plate 20 are connected to enclose and form a pipeline penetration hole 30, and the pipeline penetration hole 30 is suitable for the pipeline penetration setting. The sealing plate 20 can be slidably arranged on the enclosure 10 to adjust the aperture of the pipeline penetration hole 30. After the sealing plate 20 slides to the target position, the aperture of the pipeline penetration hole 30 is adjusted to match the pipeline, so that the enclosure 10 and the sealing plate 20 can reliably fit and clamp the pipeline passing through the pipeline penetration hole 30; at this time, the first locking portion 11 and the second locking portion 21 can be connected and locked to keep the sealing plate 20 at the target position, so that the enclosure 10 and the sealing plate 20 maintain the clamping and locking effect on the pipeline, avoiding the loosening of the pipeline during use and various problems caused thereby.

[0029] When the pipeline needs to be installed, the pipeline installation structure 101 provided in the embodiment of the present application can first pass the pipeline through the pipeline penetration hole 30, and then slide the sealing plate 20 to adjust the aperture of the pipeline penetration hole 30 until the aperture of the pipeline penetration hole 30 is adjusted to match the pipeline, and the enclosure 10 and the sealing plate 20 can reliably fit and clamp the pipeline penetrated through the pipeline penetration hole 30. At this time, the first locking part 11 and the second locking part 21 can be connected and locked, so that the sealing plate 20 remains locked in the target position, and the pipeline is completely clamped and locked without loosening, thereby avoiding various problems such as pipeline bending and deformation caused by pipeline loosening.

[0030] In some embodiments, one of the first locking portion 11 and the second locking portion 21 may include a plurality of slots 211, and the other may include a flange 111, and the plurality of slots 211 may be arranged in sequence and at intervals along the sliding direction of the sealing plate 20. In some examples, the first locking portion 11 may include a plurality of slots 211, and the second locking portion 21 may include a flange 111; in other examples, the first locking portion 11 may include a flange 111, and the second locking portion 21 may include a plurality of slots 211. When the sealing plate 20 slides, the flange 111 may be sequentially snapped into the plurality of slots 211, and the flange 111 may be sequentially detached from the current slot 211 and snapped into another adjacent slot 211. After the sealing plate 20 slides to the target position, the flange 111 is snapped into the slot 211 corresponding to the target position; since the driving force applied to the sealing plate 20 has been removed at this time, the limiting force of the flange 111 and the slot 211 can be used to prevent the two from separating, so that the sealing plate 20 is kept at the target position. In this way, the aperture of the pipeline penetration hole 30 can be adjusted step by step within the travel range of the plurality of slots 211 , so that the pipeline penetration hole 30 can match and clamp pipelines of different diameters, thereby increasing the applicable diameter range of the pipeline installation structure 101 .

[0031] In some embodiments, the edge of the enclosure 10 may be provided with a first notch 12, and the edge of the sealing plate 20 may be provided with a second notch 22. When the enclosure 10 and the sealing plate 20 are connected, the first notch 12 and the second notch 22 may be connected to form a pipeline penetration hole 30. The shapes of the first notch 12 and the second notch 22 may be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. In some examples, the first notch 12 and the second notch 22 may be semicircular notches, respectively, so that the first notch 12 and the second notch 22 may be connected to form a circular pipeline penetration hole 30.

[0032] In some examples, the enclosure 10 may be provided with a window 13; the window 13 may penetrate the enclosure 10 along the thickness direction of the enclosure 10, and the first notch 12 is recessed and formed on the side wall of the window 13. The sealing plate 20 is covered on the window 13 so that the first notch 12 and the second notch 22 are connected to form a pipeline through hole 30. In this way, when it is necessary to perform maintenance work on the area enclosed and blocked by the enclosure 10, the sealing plate 20 can be removed from the window 13 to open the window 13, and then the maintenance work on the corresponding area can be performed through the window 13, which increases the convenience of operation.

[0033] Exemplarily, an annular retaining rib 23 may be provided on the surface of the side of the sealing plate 20 facing the enclosure 10, and the annular retaining rib 23 has the same shape as the window 13. For example, when the window 13 is a circular window, the annular retaining rib 23 is in a circular ring shape; for another example, when the window 13 is a square window, the annular retaining rib 23 is in a square shape; for another example, when the window 13 is an irregular window, the annular retaining rib 23 has the same shape as the irregular shape, and the corresponding segment on the irregular window and the corresponding segment on the annular retaining rib 23 are parallel or approximately parallel. The annular retaining rib 23 may be an annular rib portion that is continuous and completely closed everywhere, or it may be an intermittent rib portion formed by multiple segments of sub-rib portions that are sequentially arranged at intervals. When the sealing plate 20 is covered on the window 13, the annular retaining rib 23 is embedded in the window 13 to form a limiting effect with the side wall of the window 13 to prevent the sealing plate 20 from losing its position when sliding, and to increase the structural strength of the sealing plate 20.

[0034] In some examples, the enclosure 10 may be provided with a first folded edge portion 14. The first folded edge portion 14 is connected to the side wall of the first notch 12 and is extended along the edge of the first notch 12. When the first notch 12 and the second notch 22 are connected to form the pipeline through hole 30, the first folded edge portion 14 is formed on one side edge portion of the pipeline through hole 30, which can increase the axial length of the pipeline through hole 30 and the contact area between the pipeline through hole 30 and the pipeline, thereby increasing the stability of the pipeline in the pipeline through hole 30.

[0035] In some examples, the sealing plate 20 may be provided with a second folded edge portion 24, which is connected to the side wall of the second notch 22 and extends along the edge of the second notch 22. When the first notch 12 and the second notch 22 are connected to form the pipeline through hole 30, the second folded edge portion 24 is formed on one side edge portion of the pipeline through hole 30, which can increase the axial length of the pipeline through hole 30 and the contact area between the pipeline through hole 30 and the pipeline, thereby increasing the stability of the pipeline in the pipeline through hole 30.

[0036] In some embodiments, a first buckle portion 15 may be provided on the enclosure 10, and a second buckle portion 25 may be provided on the sealing plate 20. Among them, one of the first buckle portion 15 and the second buckle portion 25 is a male buckle portion, and the other is a female buckle portion. The first buckle portion 15 and the second buckle portion 25 are buckled so that the sealing plate 20 can be slidably connected to the enclosure 10. In this way, the enclosure 10 and the sealing plate 20 can be quickly connected and fixed by a snap-on structure. After the first buckle portion 15 and the second buckle portion 25 are buckled, there is a certain sliding space between the first buckle portion 15 and the second buckle portion 25, so that the sealing plate 20 can still slide within a preset stroke to adjust the aperture of the pipeline penetration hole 30.

[0037] In some examples, the sealing plate 20 may include a main plate body 20a and an extended rib portion 20b. The second buckle portion 25 is disposed on the main plate body 20a, and the extended rib portion 20b is formed at one side edge of the main plate body 20a. The first buckle portion 15 and the second buckle portion 25 are buckled so that the main plate body 20a and the extended rib portion 20b are respectively abutted on the opposite side surfaces of the enclosure 10. In this way, the sealing plate 20 and the enclosure 10 can be double fixed by a snap-fit ​​method and an abutment method, thereby increasing the connection reliability.

[0038] Exemplarily, when the enclosure 10 is provided with a window 13 as described above, the extended retaining edge portion 20b can pass through the window 13 and abut against one side surface of the enclosure 10, while the main board body 20a is sealed on the window 13 so that the main board body 20a abuts against the other side surface of the enclosure 10, thereby making the main board body 20a and the extended retaining edge portion 20b abut against the opposite side surfaces of the enclosure 10 respectively.

[0039] In some embodiments, the pipeline installation structure 101 may further include a pipe sleeve 40. The pipe sleeve 40 is inserted into the pipeline penetration hole 30, and the pipeline can be inserted into the pipe sleeve 40, and the pipe sleeve 40 is used to perform structural protection or thermal insulation on the pipeline. When the pipeline needs to be installed, the pipe sleeve 40 can be first sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the pipeline, and then the pipe sleeve 40 is inserted into the pipeline penetration hole 30, and then the sealing plate 20 is slid to adjust the aperture of the pipeline penetration hole 30, until the enclosure 10 and the sealing plate 20 can reliably fit and clamp the pipe sleeve 40 inserted into the pipeline penetration hole 30, so that the first locking portion 11 and the second locking portion 21 are connected and locked, so that the sealing plate 20 remains locked in the target position.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, on the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner 1, which includes the pipeline installation structure 101 provided in any of the above embodiments, and the enclosure 10 is arranged around the heat exchanger 103. The type of the air conditioner 1 can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, a window air conditioner, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The air conditioner 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application has the above-mentioned pipeline installation structure 101, which can make the pipeline reliably clamped and locked, avoiding various problems caused by loose pipelines.

[0041] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 1 may include a heat exchanger 103, and the enclosure 10 is disposed around the heat exchanger 103. The function type of the heat exchanger 103 may be determined according to actual needs, and may be, for example, an evaporator, a condenser, etc., which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0042] The above is a detailed introduction to the pipeline installation structure and the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application.
