Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As air conditioners are increasingly used, it is becoming more common to add components with auxiliary functions to air conditioner heat exchangers, such as temperature sensors for air conditioner evaporators and condensers. Usually, the fin spacing of heat exchangers is very small, and the fin thickness is small, and the strength is not enough to meet the assembly of other auxiliary products, so the current auxiliary products are mostly assembled on copper tubes. At present, auxiliary function components are mostly assembled in the form of brackets, using the elastic deformation of the roots of the multiple elastic arms of the buckle to fix them on the copper tubes of the heat exchanger fins.

[0003] The current assembly bracket is easily affected by the arrangement of the heat exchanger fins. Since the assembly bracket is an injection molded part with a soft texture, the bracket is prone to distortion, which causes the roots of the spring arms to interfere with the fins when inserted into the fin gaps, resulting in failure of the assembly bracket and copper tube assembly. On the air conditioner production line, this situation greatly affects assembly efficiency and causes a decrease in shift output. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an assembly bracket and an air conditioner, which reduce the interference between the elastic arm and the fins and effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0005] Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide an assembly bracket.

[0006] The second purpose of the utility model is to provide an air conditioner.

[0007] To achieve the first purpose of the utility model, the technical solution of the utility model provides an assembly bracket for assembling an auxiliary function component on a heat exchanger, the assembly bracket comprising: a bracket body, the bracket body is used to place the auxiliary function component; a limit assembly, the limit assembly is arranged on the side of the bracket body away from the auxiliary function component; wherein the limit assembly comprises: a first clamping member and a second clamping member; one end of the first clamping member is fixedly connected to the bracket body, and the other end of the first clamping member is used to be rotatably connected to the first copper tube of the heat exchanger; one end of the second clamping member is fixedly connected to the bracket body, and the other end of the second clamping member is used to clamp to the second copper tube.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: It can be understood that since the assembly bracket of the present utility model only needs to consider the deformation force of the second clamping member, materials with relatively high hardness can be considered for producing the assembly bracket, such as ABS plastic. The assembly bracket of the present utility model is rotationally connected to the copper tube through the first clamping member, and its cooperation with the first clamping member is realized through only one elastic arm, that is, the second clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are locked under force, effectively preventing the assembly bracket from coming off, and firmly fixing the assembly bracket on the copper tube. One elastic arm is better than multiple elastic arms, reducing the interference of the size difference of the elastic arms and the interference between the elastic arms and the fins, and effectively improving the assembly efficiency. In addition, when the assembly effect is not good, it can be immediately determined whether it is the influence of the first clamping member or the second clamping member, further improving the production efficiency.

[0009] In a technical solution of the present utility model, the first clamping member is connected to the first copper tube; the second clamping member is connected to the second copper tube; the first copper tube is arranged in the gap between the first fin and the second fin, and the second copper tube is arranged in the gap between the third fin and the fourth fin; or both the first copper tube and the second copper tube are arranged on the first fin; wherein, the assembled heat exchanger includes: the first fin, the second fin, the third fin and the fourth fin.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: Due to the assembly and fixing method and structural characteristics of the assembly bracket of the present utility model, the first clamping member and the second clamping member can be in the gap of the same fin or in the gaps of different fins. Therefore, even if the bracket is distorted and deformed, the second clamping member can cross the fin, reducing its interference with the fin and realizing the assembly and fixing of the bracket.

[0011] In a technical solution of the present utility model, the first clamping member includes: a vertical portion, an arc-shaped bending portion and a first opening; one end of the vertical portion is perpendicularly connected to the bracket body, and the other end of the vertical portion is connected to one end of the arc-shaped bending portion; the first opening is arranged at the other end of the arc-shaped bending portion, and the first opening is inclined downward along the axial direction of the vertical portion; wherein, the first copper tube abuts against at least part of the first opening.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: The first clamping member of the present utility model restricts the movement of the copper tube through its structural shape and the rotational connection between the first opening and the copper tube, effectively locking the assembly bracket.

[0013] In a technical solution of the present utility model, the first opening is rectangular.

[0014] Furthermore, the radial opening length of the rectangular first opening is matched with the diameter of the first copper tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: It can be understood that since the first clamping member abuts against at least part of the first copper tube through the first opening to realize its rotational connection, when assembling, first place the copper tube in the first opening, and then rotate the assembly bracket to clamp the second clamping member with a suitable copper tube to realize the locking of the assembly bracket. During this process, the first opening is rectangular, which can reduce the abutting area between the first opening and the copper tube, reduce wear to a certain extent, and reduce the friction force during the rotation process, making the assembly easier.

[0016] In a technical solution of the present utility model, the axial opening length of the first opening is not less than the diameter of the first copper tube.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: It can be understood that when the axial opening length of the first opening is less than the diameter of the first copper tube, there are fewer abutting points between the first copper tube and the inner wall of the first opening, and the first copper tube is more likely to slip off. The present utility model effectively prevents the first copper tube from slipping off by setting the axial opening length of the first opening to increase the abutting points between the first copper tube and the inner wall of the first opening.

[0018] In a technical solution of the present utility model, the second clamping member includes: a second clamping member body, the second clamping member body is in the shape of a rectangular plate, and one end of the second clamping member body is perpendicularly connected to the bracket body; a second opening, the second opening is provided on the side of the second clamping member body facing away from the first clamping member and is close to the other end of the second clamping member body; wherein, the second copper tube abuts against at least part of the second opening.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: The assembly bracket of the present utility model reduces the installation time of the assembly worker when installing the assembly bracket by specifically restricting the structure of the second clamping member. Specifically, by clamping the first opening of the first clamping member on the first copper tube, and then rotating the assembly bracket to align the second clamping member with a suitable copper tube, and only pressing down to clamp, the locking of the assembly bracket can be realized. It saves time and effort and effectively improves the assembly efficiency.

[0020] In a technical solution of the present utility model, the distance between the first copper tube and the second copper tube is d1; the distance between the first opening and the second opening is d2; wherein, d1 < d2.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution: The assembly bracket of the present utility model realizes that the assembly bracket is locked between the two copper tubes by restricting the distance between the two openings to be not less than the distance between the two corresponding copper tubes, ensuring that the assembly bracket will not come off.

[0022] In a technical solution of the present utility model, a chamfer is provided at the other end of the second clamping member body near the second opening.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: It can be understood that during the installation process, the end of the second clamp body will first contact the copper tube, and then clamp through the second opening after applying force. If the chamfer is not provided, it is very likely to cause damage to the surface of the copper tube. The second clamp of the assembly bracket of the utility model is provided with a chamfer near the second opening, so that the transition between the end of the second clamp body and the copper tube is more natural, further reducing the force used by the assembly worker when installing the assembly bracket, thereby reducing the force applied to the second copper tube during the installation process and reducing the impact on the air conditioner.

[0024] In a technical solution of the utility model, the assembly bracket further includes: a clamping portion, which is arranged on a side of the bracket body where the auxiliary function component is placed, and is used to clamp the auxiliary function component.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the utility model specifically clamps the auxiliary function component through the clamping part, and sets the clamping part on the other side of the limit component to avoid interference with the limit component and the influence of the copper tube on the auxiliary function component.

[0026] To achieve the second purpose of the utility model, the technical solution of the utility model provides an air conditioner, including: a heat exchanger; an assembly bracket such as any one of the above embodiments, the assembly bracket is detachably connected to the heat exchanger, and the limit assembly is set toward the heat exchanger, and the auxiliary function assembly assembled on the assembly bracket is set away from the heat exchanger.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the air conditioner of this technical solution includes the assembly bracket of any technical solution of the utility model, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the assembly bracket of any technical solution of the utility model, which will not be repeated here.

[0037] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 7 to describe the technical solutions of some embodiments of the present utility model.

[0040] It can be understood that since the assembly bracket of the present utility model only needs to consider the deformation force of the second clamping member, a material with a relatively high hardness can be considered for producing the assembly bracket, such as ABS plastic. The assembly bracket of the present utility model is rotatably connected to the copper tube through the first clamping member, and its cooperation with the first clamping member is realized through only one elastic arm, that is, the second clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are locked under force, effectively preventing the assembly bracket from coming off, and firmly fixing the assembly bracket on the copper tube. One elastic arm is better than multiple elastic arms, reducing the interference of the size difference of the elastic arms and reducing the interference between the elastic arms and the fins, effectively improving the assembly efficiency. In addition, when the assembly effect is not good, it can be immediately determined whether it is the influence of the first clamping member or the second clamping member, further improving the production efficiency.

[0041] In some embodiments of the embodiments of the present application, specifically, referring to Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the first clamping member 121 is connected to the first copper tube 211; the second clamping member 122 is connected to the second copper tube 212; the first copper tube 211 is disposed in the gap between the first fin 210 and the second fin 220, and the second copper tube 212 is disposed in the gap between the third fin 230 and the fourth fin 240; or both the first copper tube 211 and the second copper tube 212 are disposed on the first fin 210; wherein, the assembled heat exchanger 200 includes: a first fin 210, a second fin 220, a third fin 230, and a fourth fin 240.

[0042] Due to the assembly fixing method and structural characteristics of the assembly bracket of the present utility model, the first clamping member and the second clamping member can be in the gap of the same fin or in the gaps of different fins. Compared with Figures 5 to 6 the assembly bracket of the prior art in even if the bracket body is distorted and deformed, the second clamping member can cross the fin, reducing its interference with the fin and realizing the assembly and fixing of the bracket.

[0043] In some embodiments of the embodiments of the present application, specifically, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the first clamping member 121 includes: a vertical portion 121a1, an arc-shaped bending portion 121a2, and a first opening 121b; one end of the vertical portion 121a1 is perpendicularly connected to the bracket body 110, and the other end of the vertical portion 121a1 is connected to one end of the arc-shaped bending portion 121a2; the first opening 121b is disposed at the other end of the arc-shaped bending portion 121a2, and the first opening 121b is inclined downward along the axial direction of the vertical portion 121a1; wherein, the first copper tube 211 abuts against at least a part of the first opening 121b.

[0044] The first clamping member of the present utility model restricts the movement of the copper tube through its structural shape and the rotational connection between the first opening and the copper tube, effectively locking the assembly bracket.

[0045] In some embodiments of the embodiments of the present application, specifically, referring toFigure 7 As shown, the first opening 121b is rectangular in shape.

[0046] Furthermore, the radial opening length of the rectangular first opening 121b is matched with the diameter of the first copper tube 211.

[0047] It can be understood that since the first clamping member abuts against at least part of the first copper tube through the first opening to achieve its rotational connection, when assembling, first place the copper tube in the first opening, and then rotate the assembly bracket to clamp the second clamping member with a suitable copper tube to lock the assembly bracket. During this process, the first opening is rectangular in shape, which can reduce the abutting area between the first opening and the copper tube, reduce wear to a certain extent, and reduce the frictional force during the rotation process, making the assembly easier.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, specifically, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the axial opening length of the first opening 121b is not less than the diameter of the first copper tube 211.

[0049] It can be understood that when the axial opening length of the first opening is less than the diameter of the first copper tube, the contact points between the first copper tube and the inner wall of the first opening are few, and the first copper tube is more likely to slip off. The present utility model effectively prevents the first copper tube from slipping off by setting the axial opening length of the first opening to increase the contact points between the first copper tube and the inner wall of the first opening.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, specifically, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the second clamping member 122 includes: a second clamping member body 122a, the second clamping member body 122a is in the shape of a rectangular plate, and one end of the second clamping member body 122a is perpendicularly connected to the bracket body 110; a second opening 122b, the second opening 122b is provided on the side of the second clamping member body 122a facing away from the first clamping member 121, and the second opening 122b is close to the other end of the second clamping member body 122a; wherein, the second copper tube 212 abuts against at least part of the second opening 122b.

[0051] The assembly bracket of the present utility model reduces the installation time of the assembly worker when installing the assembly bracket by specifically restricting the structure of the second clamping member. Specifically, the first opening of the first clamping member is clamped on the first copper tube, and then the assembly bracket is rotated to align the second clamping member with a suitable copper tube, and only by pressing down can the assembly bracket be locked. It saves time and effort and effectively improves the assembly efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, specifically, referring to Figure 7As shown, the distance between the first copper tube 211 and the second copper tube 212 is d1; the distance between the first opening 121b and the second opening 122b is d2; where d1 < d2.

[0053] The assembly bracket of the present utility model realizes locking the assembly bracket between the two copper tubes by restricting the distance between the two openings to be not less than the distance between the two corresponding copper tubes, ensuring that the assembly bracket will not come off.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, specifically, referring to Figure 7 As shown, a chamfer is provided at the other end of the second clamping member body 122a near the second opening 122b.

[0055] It can be understood that during the installation process, the end of the second clamping member body will first contact the copper tube, and after applying force, it will be clamped through the second opening. If no chamfer is provided, it is very likely to damage the surface of the copper tube. The second clamping member of the assembly bracket of the present utility model is provided with a chamfer near the second opening, making the transition between the end of the second clamping member body and the copper tube smoother, further reducing the force used by the assembly worker when installing the assembly bracket, and consequently reducing the force applied to the second copper tube during the installation process and reducing the impact on the air conditioner.
