[0044] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0045] The evaporator of the air conditioner is installed in the shell, and the evaporator pipes are exposed outside the shell, which needs to be sealed with a panel to prevent air leakage. However, the panel is usually connected to the shell with screws, which means that when installing the panel on the shell, the installer needs to align the screw holes first and then fix it, which makes the installation process complicated.

[0046] To this end, the related technology provides an evaporator pipe fixing structure and an air conditioner, the air conditioner includes a shell, the shell includes a second side plate, and the evaporator pipe passes through the second side plate; a clamping strip and a first screw hole are respectively provided on both sides of the evaporator pipe on the second side plate; the fixing structure includes a fixing member (i.e., a surrounding plate), and a clamping groove and a second screw hole are provided on the fixing member; the clamping strip on the shell is installed in the clamping groove on the fixing member, the first screw hole corresponds to the second screw hole, and the fixing member is fixed to the shell by screws.

[0047] Combination Figure 1-7 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a shell assembly for an air conditioner and an air conditioner to solve the problem of complex structures of the shell and fixing parts in the related art.

[0048] The housing assembly includes an outer shell 221 and a surrounding plate 220 .

[0049] The housing defines an installation space 223 for installing the air-conditioning evaporator, and is provided with an installation opening 222 communicating with the installation space. The housing 221 is provided with a first connection fitting portion 13 and a second connection fitting portion 14 .

[0050] The enclosure 220 includes a plate body 20 , a first connection portion 10 and a second connection portion 12 connected to each other. The plate body 20 covers the mounting opening 222 and, together with the outer shell 221 , encloses a through hole for the pipeline of the evaporator to pass through.

[0051] The first connection portion 10 is disposed on the inner side of the first connection matching portion 13 and abuts against the first connection matching portion 13 , and the second connection portion 12 is disposed on the outer side of the second connection matching portion 14 and abuts against the second connection matching portion 14 .

[0052] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connection portion 10 is arranged on the inner side of the first connection matching portion 13 and abuts against the first connection matching portion 13, so that the first connection matching portion can limit the outward movement of the first connection portion 10. The second connection portion 12 is arranged on the outer side of the second connection matching portion 14 and abuts against the second connection matching portion 14, so that the second connection matching portion can limit the inward movement of the second connection portion.

[0053] The arrangement of the first connecting portion 10 and the second connecting portion 12 enables the shell to limit the enclosure in the inner and outer directions, preventing the enclosure from moving relative to the shell in the inner and outer directions, thereby making the connection between the enclosure 220 and the shell 221 more stable.

[0054] The direction toward the middle of the installation space is the inside, and the direction away from the middle of the installation space is the outside.

[0055] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the first connection portion 10 includes a first end 15 and a second end. The first end is connected to the plate body 20; the second end 16 is arranged opposite to the first end 15 and is a free end, and the outer wall surface of the second end 16 is provided with a guide slope 17, and the guide slope is inclined inward along the direction from the plate body 20 to the first connection portion 10.

[0056] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the first connection part 10 is inserted into the inner side of the first connection matching part 13, the guide slope can play a guiding role, so that the first connection part can be smoothly inserted into the inner side of the first connection matching part, reducing the difficulty of inserting the first connection part 10 into the inner side of the first connection matching part 13.

[0057] Optionally, the first connecting portion 10 also includes a connecting section 18, which is connected between the first end 15 and the second end 16, and the connecting section 18 abuts against the inner wall surface of the first connecting mating portion 13. A bend 181 is formed at the connection between the connecting section 18 and the first end 15, and the bend abuts against the side wall of the installation port 222.

[0058] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a connecting section 18 is provided between the first end 15 and the second end 16 to connect the first end 15 and the second end 16. When the first connecting portion 10 is placed inside the first connecting matching portion, the connecting section abuts against the inner side of the first connecting matching portion to achieve the abutment between the first connecting portion and the first connecting matching portion. The shape of the connecting section is adapted to the shape of the inner side of the first connecting matching portion to increase the contact area between the connecting section and the first connecting matching portion. For example, the connecting section 18 and the inner side of the first connecting matching portion 13 are both planar, which increases the interaction force between the first connecting portion 10 and the first connecting matching portion 13 in the inner and outer directions, making the abutment between the two more firm.

[0059] The connecting section is arranged inside the first end portion, and the first end portion is located outside the housing. A bend 181 is formed at the connection between the connecting section 18 and the first end portion 15, and the bend abuts against the side wall of the mounting opening 222 to limit the side wall of the mounting opening from moving toward the board body, and the bend can make the matching position of the first connecting portion 10 and the first connecting matching portion 13 more accurate, and can also enhance the connection strength between the connecting section and the first end portion.

[0060] Alternatively, if Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the side wall of the mounting opening is provided with a first notch 21 and a second notch 22, the enclosure is provided with a third notch 23 and a fourth notch 24, the first notch 21 and the third notch 23 are combined to form a first through hole 27, the second notch 22 and the fourth notch 24 are combined to form a second through hole 28, and the through holes include the first through hole 27 and the second through hole 28.

[0061] One of the first connection portion 10 and the second connection portion 12 is located between the third notch 23 and the fourth notch 24 , and the other of the first connection portion 10 and the second connection portion 12 is located on a side of the third notch 23 away from the fourth notch 24 or on a side of the fourth notch 24 away from the third notch 23 .

[0062] Combination Figure 7 As shown, the first notch 21 and the third notch 23 are combined to form a first through hole 27, and the second notch 22 and the fourth notch 24 are combined to form a second through hole 28. One of the first through hole 27 and the second through hole 28 is used for the first inlet and outlet liquid pipeline of the evaporator to pass through, and the other of the first through hole 27 and the second through hole 28 is used for the second inlet and outlet liquid pipeline of the evaporator to pass through.

[0063] Combination Figure 1 As shown, one of the first connection part 10 and the second connection part 12 is located between the third notch 23 and the fourth notch 24, thereby enhancing the limiting strength of the shell on the third notch and the fourth notch on the enclosure, avoiding the third notch and the fourth notch from moving relative to the shell, and preventing the first through hole 27 and the second through hole 28 from being misaligned and displaced, which affects the passage of the evaporator pipeline. The other of the first connection part 10 and the second connection part 12 is located on the side of the third notch 23 away from the fourth notch 24, so that the side of the third notch 23 away from the fourth notch 24 can be positioned in the inner and outer directions by the other of the first connection part and the second connection part, or the other of the first connection part 10 and the second connection part 12 is located on the side of the fourth notch 24 away from the third notch 23, so that the side of the fourth notch 24 away from the third notch 23 can be positioned in the inner and outer directions by the other of the first connection part and the second connection part.

[0064] Alternatively, if Figure 3As shown, the second connection portion 12 is provided with a positioning structure 32 , and the second connection matching portion 14 is provided with a positioning matching portion structure 33 . When the board body 20 is covered on the installation opening 222 , the positioning structure 32 abuts against the positioning matching portion structure 33 .

[0065] Combination Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, when the enclosure is installed, the positioning structure 32 abuts against the positioning matching structure 33 to achieve precise fit between the positioning structure 32 and the positioning matching structure 33, thereby achieving precise positioning between the second connection part and the second connection matching part, and preventing displacement and misalignment between the second connection part and the second connection matching part, resulting in inadequate fit.

[0066] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning structure 32 includes a first reinforcing rib 30 provided on the second connecting portion 12, and the positioning matching portion structure 33 includes a second reinforcing rib 31 provided on the second connecting matching portion 14. The first reinforcing rib 30 is provided on the side of the second reinforcing rib 31 facing the plate body 20 and abuts against the second reinforcing rib 31.

[0067] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the first reinforcing rib 30 abuts against the second reinforcing rib 31, which not only plays a role in the precise positioning between the second connecting portion and the second connecting matching portion, but also the setting of the first reinforcing rib 30 can enhance the strength of the second connecting portion, and the setting of the second reinforcing rib 31 can enhance the strength of the second connecting matching portion.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, the first reinforcing rib may be a flange provided on the edge of the second connecting portion or a bend formed by a local protrusion of the second connecting portion, and the second reinforcing rib may be a protrusion or a local bend provided on the second connecting mating portion.

[0069] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the plate body 20 includes a first side portion 25 and a second side portion 26 which are arranged opposite to each other, the outer shell 221 is also provided with a third connecting fitting portion 111, the enclosure 220 also includes a third connecting portion 19, the third connecting portion 19 is connected to the third connecting fitting portion 111 by screws, and the first connecting portion 10, the second connecting portion 12 and the third connecting portion 19 are all arranged on the first side portion 25.

[0070] The enclosure 220 is provided with a third connection portion 19 on the first side portion 25, and the third connection portion is provided on the side of the first side portion away from the plate body, and a third connection matching portion 111 is provided on the side wall of the installation opening 222, and the third connection portion 19 and the third connection matching portion 111 are connected by screws, which can realize the limitation of the third connection portion along the inner and outer directions and along the radial direction of the screws. Moreover, the screw connection is adopted, which saves costs and is firmly fixed.

[0071] Specifically, the third connecting portion is provided with a first screw hole 191 , and the third connecting fitting portion is provided with a second screw hole 1111 . The screw passes through the first screw hole and the second screw hole to achieve screw connection between the third connecting portion 19 and the third connecting fitting portion 111 .

[0072] The first connecting portion 10, the second connecting portion 12 and the third connecting portion 19 are all arranged on the first side portion 25 of the enclosure 220. The first side portion 25 of the enclosure 220 cooperates with the side wall of the installation opening 222 through the first connecting portion 10, the second connecting portion 12 and the third connecting portion 10. In this way, the shell has multiple limiting points on the first side portion, thereby achieving stability of the first side portion, preventing misalignment between the enclosure 220 and the side wall of the installation opening 222, and fixing the position between the two.

[0073] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, the plate body 20 includes a first side portion 25 and a second side portion 26 that are relatively arranged, the outer shell 221 is also provided with a fourth connecting mating portion 113, the enclosure 220 also includes a fourth connecting portion 112, the fourth connecting portion 112 is plugged into the fourth connecting mating portion 113, and the first connecting portion 10 and / or the second connecting portion 12 are arranged on the first side portion 25, and the fourth connecting portion 112 is arranged on the second side portion 26.

[0074] The first connection part 10 and / or the second connection part 12 are provided to realize the positioning of the first side part 25 on the shell, and the fourth connection part 112 is provided on the second side part 26 to realize the positioning of the second side part on the shell. The first side part and the second side part are two side walls arranged opposite to each other, so that the two side walls (the first side part and the second side part) opposite to each other of the board body and the shell are positioned, so that the board body is evenly stressed and its position relative to the shell is more stable.

[0075] The fourth connection portion 112 is provided with a plugging rib 34, and the fourth connection matching portion 113 is provided with a plugging hole 35, or the fourth connection portion 112 is provided with a plugging hole, and the fourth connection matching portion 113 is provided with a plugging rib.

The plugging rib 34 and the plugging hole 35 are adapted to each other, and the plugging rib 34 is inserted into the plugging hole 35 to achieve plugging, thereby limiting the position of the second side portion 26 of the enclosure 220 and the shell 221, so that the positioning between the enclosure and the shell is more accurate.

[0076] Optionally, the shell is further provided with a fifth connection fitting portion, the enclosure further includes a fifth connection portion 114 , the fifth connection portion 114 is screw-connected to the fifth connection fitting portion 115 , and the fifth connection portion 114 is provided on the second side portion 26 .

[0077] Combination Figure 1As shown, a fifth connecting portion 114 is provided on the second side portion 26 of the enclosure 220, and a fifth connecting fitting portion 115 is provided on the outer shell 221. The fifth connecting portion 114 and the fifth connecting fitting portion 115 are connected by screws, so that there is a limit between the second side portion 26 and the outer shell 221, which defines the position between the fifth connecting portion 114 and the fifth connecting fitting portion 115.

[0078] The fifth connection portion 114 is connected by screws, which is also convenient for installing and removing the enclosure 220 .

[0079] The fifth connecting part is arranged on the second side portion, so that when the second side portion cooperates with the outer shell, the fourth connecting part and the fourth connecting matching part are plugged in first to realize the pre-positioning of the second side portion and the outer shell. In this way, when the fifth connecting part and the fifth connecting matching part are connected with screws, there is no need to hold the enclosure plate, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0080] Specifically, the fifth connecting portion is provided with a third screw hole 1141, and the fifth connecting matching portion is provided with a fourth screw hole 1151. The screw passes through the third screw hole and the fourth screw hole to realize the screw connection between the fifth connecting portion and the fifth connecting matching portion.

[0081] There are multiple fifth connection parts, and the number of the fifth connection matching parts is equal to and corresponds to the number of the fifth connection parts. The multiple fifth connection parts are respectively located on two opposite sides of the fourth connection part.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, the number of the fifth connecting parts is two.

[0083] The plate body includes a first plate body 201 and a second plate body 202. A bend is formed between the first plate body and the second plate body. The first side portion is arranged on the first plate body, and the second side portion is arranged on the second plate body.
