[0065] Optionally, the rear end of the connecting plate 30 is connected to the rear column 23, and the front end of the connecting plate 30 is connected to the front column 21. Among them, the front column 21 is configured with an installation groove, and the front end of the connecting plate 30 is located in the installation groove and is connected to the groove wall of the installation groove. In this way, the front column 21 can not only be connected to the connecting plate 30, but also prevent the front end of the connecting plate 30 from being exposed, improving the integrity and aesthetics of the structure.

[0066] Optionally, a mounting plate is provided at the front end of the connecting plate 30. The mounting plate is perpendicular to the connecting plate 30 and is connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove to realize the connection between the connecting plate 30 and the front column 21. This can increase the connection area between the connecting plate 30 and the front column 21 and improve the connection stability.

[0067] Optionally, the mounting plate is detachably connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove. For example, it can be connected by screws, studs, snap connections, etc.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting plate 30 is at the lower part of the accommodation cabin, which can improve the stability of the bottom of the accommodation cabin and enhance the strength and support capacity of the bottom.

[0073] Optionally, the number of the connecting plates 30 is multiple, and the multiple connecting plates 30 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the accommodation cabin, so that the strength of the accommodation cabin can also be improved in the height direction.

[0074] Optionally, as Figure 4 、 Figures 7 to 10 shown, the base 10 includes a base frame 11 and a metal reinforcing plate 12. The base frame 11 is an annular structure with an open front side, and the base frame 11 is connected to the front column 21, the side column 22 and the rear column 23; the metal reinforcing plate 12 is located inside the base frame 11 and is connected to the base frame 11. The bottom surface of the metal reinforcing plate 12 is adapted to abut against the ground, and the metal reinforcing plate 12 is the bottom wall of the accommodation cabin.

[0075] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the accommodation cabin can be strengthened through multiple columns and the connecting plate 30 to meet the strength requirements of the air conditioner and does not depend on the strength of the chassis, the structure and material of the chassis can be improved. The base frame 11 is provided as an annular structure to facilitate the connection of multiple columns. The inner side of the annular base frame 11 is a hollow structure, and the metal reinforcing plate 12 is provided on the inner side of the base frame 11. In this way, the metal reinforcing plate 12 forms the bottom wall of the accommodation cabin. Since the strength of the metal reinforcing plate 12 is relatively high compared to the existing injection molding material, the metal reinforcing plate 12 can be set thinner. Since the ground surface of the metal reinforcing plate 12 abuts against the ground, the ground can support the base 10 to ensure the stability of the air conditioner, and the distance between the upper wall surface of the metal reinforcing plate 12 and the ground can also be reduced, reducing the thickness of the entire base 10. In this way, the obstacle for external components to enter and exit the accommodation cabin is small, and the external components can be smoothly pushed into or out of the accommodation cabin without lifting the external components. The free pulling out and pushing in of the external components are realized, improving the user experience.

[0076] Optionally, the base frame 11 is made of an injection molding composite material. This can reduce the weight of the entire base 10, and thus reduce the weight and cost of the air conditioner, facilitating installation, transportation, and disassembly.

[0077] Optionally, the upper wall surface of the base frame 11 is higher than the upper wall surface of the metal reinforcing plate 12. In this way, the base frame 11 can form a part of the accommodation cabin and improve the stability of the base 10 to prevent tipping. Moreover, the relatively high base frame 11 is also convenient for connecting with multiple connecting columns.

[0078] Optionally, the metal reinforcing plate 12 is detachably connected to the base frame 11. This can improve the connection stability between the metal reinforcing plate 12 and the base frame 11.

[0079] Optionally, the metal reinforcing plate 12 is attached to the lower wall surface of the base frame 11.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the metal reinforcing plate 12 is attached to the lower wall surface of the base frame 11, it can increase the connection area between the metal reinforcing plate 12 and the base frame 11, improve the connection stability, and ensure that the bottom surface of the metal reinforcing plate 12 abuts against the ground.

[0081] Optionally, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the upper wall surface of the metal reinforcing plate 12 is provided with a buckle 122, and the bottom surface of the base frame 11 is provided with a connecting rib 116. When the metal reinforcing plate 12 is connected to the base frame 11, the buckle 122 is engaged with the connecting rib 116.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the metal reinforcement plate 12 is connected to the bottom surface of the base frame 11 in a snap - fit manner. When installing the metal reinforcement plate 12, the metal reinforcement plate 12 can be pushed upward so that the buckle 122 is snap - fitted with the connecting rib 116, thus achieving the preliminary positioning and installation of the metal reinforcement plate 12. Then, screws or other methods can be used to fix the connection between the metal reinforcement plate 12 and the base frame 11, thereby improving the convenience of assembly and eliminating the need to manually hold for positioning.

[0083] Optionally, the thickness of the metal reinforcement plate 12 is 0.8 mm - 1.5 mm. For example, the thickness of the metal reinforcement plate 12 can be 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.3 mm, or 1.5 mm, etc.

[0084] Optionally, the metal reinforcement plate 12 and the base frame 11 are connected by screws. The metal reinforcement plate 12 is provided with a first screw hole 121, the base frame 11 is provided with a first screw post 114, and the first screw post 114 is provided with a second screw hole 115.
