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.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, on the one hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a heat exchanger mounting structure 1, which includes a bottom support member 10 and a first end fixing member 20, which can prevent the heat exchanger 2 from shaking and shifting during the assembly process, thereby ensuring the assembly quality.

[0030] The bottom support member 10 is configured to be connected and fixed to the bottom of the heat exchanger 2 so as to support and install the heat exchanger 2 from the bottom side of the heat exchanger 2; the first end fixing member 20 is configured to be connected and fixed to the end of the heat exchanger 2 so as to fix and install the heat exchanger 2 from the end side of the heat exchanger 2. Here, the functional type of the heat exchanger 2 can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, an evaporator, a condenser, or other functional types, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0031] One of the bottom support member 10 and the first end fixing member 20 is provided with a male buckle 21, and the other is provided with a female buckle 11. In some embodiments, the bottom support member 10 is provided with a male buckle 21, and the first end fixing member 20 is provided with a female buckle 11; in other embodiments, the bottom support member 10 is provided with a female buckle 11, and the first end fixing member 20 is provided with a male buckle 21. Here, the male buckle 21 and the female buckle 11 are plugged and fastened, so that the bottom support member 10 and the first end fixing member 20 are plugged and fixed, so that there is a fixed connection relationship and a mutual limiting effect between the bottom support member 10 and the first end fixing member 20.

[0032] The heat exchanger mounting structure 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, utilizes the bottom support member 10 and the first end fixing member 20 to perform fixing and mounting respectively from the bottom side and the end side of the heat exchanger 2, and on the other hand, utilizes the plug-in fixing structure between the bottom support member 10 and the first end fixing member 20 to connect the two to form an integral structure with a fixed position, and the mutual limiting action between the bottom support member 10 and the first end fixing member 20 further forms a reliable limiting support for the heat exchanger 2, so that the heat exchanger 2 can be reliably maintained in the target position, preventing the heat exchanger 2 from shaking and shifting during the final assembly process, thereby ensuring the final assembly quality.

[0033] The structure of the male buckle 21 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. In some embodiments, the male buckle 21 may include two buckle arms 211 spaced apart, and a barb 212 is provided on the side of the buckle arm 211 away from the other buckle arm 211; accordingly, the female buckle 11 may include a buckle hole. When the male buckle 21 and the female buckle 11 are plugged and buckled, the two buckle arms 211 of the male buckle 21 elastically deform to approach each other, and then pass through the buckle hole from one end of the buckle hole. After passing through the buckle hole, the two buckle arms 211 return to their original shape, so that the barb 212 on the buckle arm 211 and the other end face of the buckle hole are hooked and limited, so that the male buckle 21 is inserted and buckled on the female buckle 11. On the contrary, when the male buckle 21 and the female buckle 11 are unfastened, the two buckle arms 211 of the male buckle 21 can be elastically deformed to approach each other, so that the barbed hook portion 212 on the buckle arm 211 and the end face of the buckle hole avoid each other and release the hooking relationship, so that the two buckle arms 211 of the male buckle 21 can reversely withdraw from the buckle hole and separate from the female buckle 11, thereby achieving unfastening.

[0034] In some embodiments, two first side ribs 22 may be provided on the surface of the first end fixing member 20 facing the heat exchanger 2. The two first side ribs 22 extend in the up-down direction, and the two first side ribs 22 are arranged at intervals to enclose a first receiving groove 23; accordingly, the length direction of the first receiving groove 23 is consistent with the up-down direction, and the first receiving groove 23 is suitable for receiving one end of at least one heat exchanger 2. In this way, when fixing the heat exchanger 2, one end of the heat exchanger 2 can be matched and embedded in the first receiving groove 23, so that a reliable left-right plug-in fixing relationship is formed between the heat exchanger 2 and the first end fixing member 20, preventing the heat exchanger 2 from tipping over and shifting.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the first end fixing member 20 may further include an upper rib 24, which is connected to the top of the two first side ribs 22 to close the top opening of the first receiving groove 23. By providing the upper rib 24, the top opening of the first receiving groove 23 can be completely closed, thereby preventing potential hazards from harming the heat exchanger 2 through the top opening of the first receiving groove 23, and ensuring the safety of the heat exchanger 2 installed in the first receiving groove 23.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, two second side ribs 12 may be provided on the upper side of the bottom support member 10. The two second side ribs 12 extend along the length direction of the bottom support member 10, and the two second side ribs 12 are arranged at intervals to enclose a second receiving groove 13; accordingly, the length direction of the second receiving groove 13 is consistent with the length direction of the bottom support member 10, for example, parallel to the horizontal direction, so that the notch of the second receiving groove 13 is opened upward, and the second receiving groove 13 is suitable for accommodating the bottom of at least one heat exchanger 2. In this way, when fixing the heat exchanger 2, the bottom of the heat exchanger 2 can be matched and embedded downward in the second receiving groove 13, so that a reliable up-and-down plug-in fixing relationship is formed between the heat exchanger 2 and the bottom support member 10 to prevent the heat exchanger 2 from tipping over and shifting.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some examples, a first receiving groove 23 is provided on the first end fixing member 20, and a second receiving groove 13 is provided on the bottom supporting member 10. Here, the bottom opening of the first receiving groove 23 is connected to the second receiving groove 13, and the two first side ribs 22 and the two second side ribs 12 are arranged one by one. In this way, when fixing the heat exchanger 2, one end of the heat exchanger 2 can be matched and embedded in the first receiving groove 23, and the bottom of the heat exchanger 2 can be matched and embedded downward in the second receiving groove 13, so that a reliable left-right plug-in fixing relationship and an up-and-down plug-in fixing relationship are formed between the heat exchanger 2 and the bottom supporting member 10, and the heat exchanger 2 is limited from multiple sides to prevent tipping and displacement. In addition, when the heat exchanger mounting structure 1 is used to fix multiple heat exchangers 2, one end portions of the multiple heat exchangers 2 can be respectively embedded in the first receiving groove 23 in a matching manner, and the bottoms of the multiple heat exchangers 2 can be respectively embedded downward in the second receiving groove 13 in a matching manner; in this way, when there is a spacing area between two adjacent heat exchangers 2, the side walls of the first receiving groove 23 and the side walls of the second receiving groove 13 can be used to cover and seal the corresponding side openings of the spacing area, thereby improving the sealing of the spacing area between the two adjacent heat exchangers 2.

[0038] In some embodiments, a mounting seat 14 may be provided on the bottom support member 10, and the mounting seat 14 is used to install a water atomizing device. Here, the water atomizing device can atomize the condensed water collected in the second receiving tank 13, and use the formed water mist to control the temperature of the heat exchanger 2, so that there is no need to set a special condensed water drainage structure on the air conditioner; the above condensed water can come from the heat exchanger 2 fixed by the heat exchanger mounting structure 1.

[0039] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger mounting structure 1 may further include a top fixing member 30, which is configured to be connected and fixed to the top of the heat exchanger 2, so that the top side of the heat exchanger 2 limits and fixes the heat exchanger 2. In some examples, a plurality of sleeve grooves 31 may be arranged at intervals on the top fixing member 30, and each sleeve groove 31 is suitable for sleeved on the top of a heat exchanger 2. In this way, the top fixing member 30 can be used to fix multiple heat exchangers 2 at the same time; and because adjacent sleeve grooves 31 are arranged at intervals, when the top fixing member 30 is adapted to fix multiple heat exchangers 2, the multiple heat exchangers 2 can be arranged at intervals in sequence to avoid working interference between adjacent heat exchangers 2, and it is also convenient to form a drainage channel between adjacent heat exchangers 2 to discharge condensed water downward.

[0040] In some embodiments, the bottom support member 10 may have an upper mounting portion 15 and a partition boss 16. The partition boss 16 divides the upper mounting portion 15 into at least two mounting areas 151, and two adjacent mounting areas 151 are spaced apart, and each mounting area 151 is suitable for being connected and fixed to the bottom of a heat exchanger 2. In some examples, the upper mounting portion 15 may be the second receiving groove 13 mentioned above. In this way, the bottom support member 10 can be used to fix multiple heat exchangers 2 at the same time; and because the two adjacent mounting areas 151 are spaced apart, when the bottom support member 10 is adapted to fix multiple heat exchangers 2, the multiple heat exchangers 2 can be spaced apart in sequence to avoid working interference between adjacent heat exchangers 2, and it is also convenient to form a drainage channel between adjacent heat exchangers 2 to discharge condensed water downward.

[0041] In some examples, the thickness of the partition boss 16 can be 10 to 15 mm, so that the spacing between two adjacent installation areas 151 is at least 10 to 15 mm. Here, the at least two installation areas 151 can be spaced in sequence along the first direction, and the thickness of the partition boss 16 can be the spacing between the two opposite side surfaces of the partition boss 16 along the first direction. In this way, when the bottom support member 10 is adapted to fix multiple heat exchangers 2, the spacing between adjacent heat exchangers 2 is at least 10 to 15 mm, and a drainage channel with appropriate width and high drainage efficiency can be formed between adjacent heat exchangers 2, and this spacing can also better ensure the heat dissipation space between adjacent heat exchangers 2 and avoid thermal interference.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first end fixing member 20 may be suitable for connecting and fixing with one end of at least two heat exchangers 2. Here, the heat exchanger mounting structure 1 may include at least two second end fixing members 40, each of which is connected and fixed to one end of a heat exchanger 2 away from the first end fixing member 20. Among them, at least one second end fixing member 40 may be provided with a positioning protrusion 41, and the positioning protrusion 41 is configured to abut and position with the edge of the adjacent second end fixing member 40. In this way, after the plurality of heat exchangers 2 are connected and fixed with the first end fixing member 20 and the plurality of second end fixing members 40 respectively, the position of the heat exchanger 2 together with the corresponding second end fixing member 40 can be finely adjusted until the edge of the second end fixing member 40 abuts with the positioning protrusion 41 of the adjacent second end fixing member 40, which means that the relative position of the two adjacent heat exchangers 2 has been adjusted to the right position, and fasteners such as screws and pins can be installed for final locking, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of installation and positioning.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first end fixing member 20 may be provided with a first pipe avoidance hole 25, which can avoid the refrigerant pipe located at the end of the heat exchanger 2 to avoid interference and affect installation and fixation. In some embodiments, the second end fixing member 40 may be provided with a second pipe avoidance hole 42, which can avoid the refrigerant pipe located at the end of the heat exchanger 2 to avoid interference and affect installation and fixation.

[0044] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides an air-conditioning outdoor unit, which includes a heat exchanger 2 and a heat exchanger mounting structure 1, wherein the bottom of the heat exchanger 2 is connected and fixed to the bottom support member 10, and the end of the heat exchanger 2 is connected and fixed to the first end fixing member 20. Here, the heat exchanger 2 can be a condenser. The type of the air-conditioning outdoor unit can be determined according to actual needs, and can be an outdoor unit structure such as a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The air-conditioning outdoor unit provided in the embodiment of the present application has the above-mentioned heat exchanger mounting structure 1, so that the heat exchanger 2 can be prevented from shaking and shifting during the final assembly process, thereby ensuring the final assembly quality of the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0045] The heat exchanger installation structure and the air-conditioning outdoor unit provided in the embodiments of the present application are introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; at the same time, for technical personnel in this field, according to the ideas of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
