Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a fixing bracket and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] An inner tube temperature sensing element is usually provided on a heat exchanger to detect the temperature of the inner tube of the heat exchanger, and the frequency control of the whole machine is carried out based on the detected temperature of the inner tube of the heat exchanger.

[0003] In the related art, the inner tube temperature sensing element of the heat exchanger is generally arranged in the middle of the heat exchanger. Since there are many factors affecting the temperature of the inner tube of the heat exchanger, for example, the bending or semi-blockage of the heat exchanger pipeline will cause uneven flow distribution, the excessive exhaust during the operation of the whole machine will cause the refrigerant flow rate to increase and lead to uneven flow distribution, and the refrigerant leakage will lead to uneven flow distribution, etc. When the system has uneven flow distribution, the detected temperature of the inner tube of the heat exchanger by the system will have deviation, and the system fails to normally limit the frequency reduction or stop, which will cause the heat exchanger to freeze. It is difficult for the temperature sensing element to detect the icing of the heat exchanger, affecting the normal use of users. Utility Model Content

[0014] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the drainage part extends obliquely downward from the bracket body to the heat exchanger.

[0015] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the direction from the drainage part to the water diversion part is the first direction, and the side wall of the bracket body that intersects the first direction and is close to the drainage part extends obliquely downward from the side wall of the bracket body away from the heat exchanger to communicate with the drainage part.

[0034] For the convenience of understanding the solution of the present application, the spline curves and arrows used for the reference numerals in the drawings are described herein: For the components indicated by the spline curves without arrows, they are solid components, that is, components having a solid structure; for the components indicated by the spline curves with arrows, they are virtual components, that is, components without a solid structure.

[0035] In a first aspect, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a fixing bracket 10. The fixing bracket 10 includes a connecting portion 11, a bracket body 12, and a drainage portion 13 that are connected in sequence. The connecting portion 11 is used for fixedly connecting with a heat exchanger 20. A water guiding portion 112 is provided on the connecting portion 11. An installation groove 121 for installing a temperature sensing package 30 is provided in the bracket body 12. The water guiding portion 112, the installation groove 121, and the drainage portion 13 are communicated in sequence. One end of the drainage portion 13 away from the bracket body 12 abuts against the heat exchanger 20. When the heat exchanger 20 generates condensed water, the water guiding portion 112 is used to divert the condensed water to the installation groove 121, and the drainage portion 13 is used to discharge the condensed water in the installation groove 121.

[0036] For the fixing bracket 10 provided in the present application, when the heat exchanger 20 is operating normally without freezing, the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger 20 can be smoothly discharged through the water guiding part 112, the installation groove 121 and the drainage part 13. The condensed water will not block the surface of the temperature sensing package 30, so the indoor air can flow through the temperature sensing package 30 normally, enabling the temperature sensing package 30 to detect the indoor ambient temperature. When the heat exchanger 20 freezes, the ice will block the drainage part 13, and the condensed water in the installation groove 121 cannot be discharged through the drainage part 13. The condensed water gradually accumulates in the installation groove, and the water level in the installation groove 121 gradually increases, causing the temperature sensing package 30 to come into contact with the condensed water and detect the temperature of the condensed water. Since the water temperature of the condensed water is significantly lower than the indoor ambient temperature, it can be determined that the heat exchanger 20 is frozen according to the temperature change detected by the temperature sensing package 30, and then measures can be taken in a timely manner to defrost the ice to ensure the normal operation of the heat exchanger 20.

[0037] It should be noted that during the operation of the air conditioner, the heat exchanger 20 generally starts to freeze from the bottom. The air flow at the bottom of the heat exchanger 20 is slow, resulting in a lower temperature at the bottom and making it easy to form frost. When the air conditioner operates at a low temperature, if the air humidity is high, moisture is likely to freeze on the cooling surface. Since cold air usually accumulates at the bottom of the heat exchanger 20, this may lead to the formation of frost at the bottom. Moreover, due to the condensed water generated during the operation of the heat exchanger 20 flowing downward under the action of gravity and the relatively low temperature of the condensed water, the temperature at the bottom will be further reduced, resulting in the bottom starting to freeze. Therefore, for the fixing bracket 10, when the heat exchanger 20 freezes, it will first freeze at the drainage part 13, thus blocking the drainage port and preventing the condensed water from being discharged normally and smoothly. The horizontal position of the water guiding part 112 is higher than that of the drainage part 13, and the air flow is better, making it not easy to freeze first.

[0038] Specifically, when the fixing bracket 10 provided in the present application is applied to an air conditioner, when the heat exchanger 20 is operating normally without freezing, the temperature sensing package 30 detects the indoor ambient temperature of the air flow, and the frequency control of the air conditioner can be carried out according to the relationship between the indoor ambient temperature and the set stability. When the heat exchanger 20 freezes, the temperature sensing package 30 detects the temperature of the condensed water, and the air conditioner can be controlled to reach the temperature and stop according to the temperature change detected by the temperature sensing package 30 to defrost the ice on the heat exchanger 20.

[0039] It should be noted that the heat exchanger 20 in the present application can be an indoor heat exchanger 20 or an outdoor heat exchanger 20.

[0040] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 20 includes a heat exchange tube 21, and the connecting part 11 is provided with a clamping groove 1111, and the clamping groove 1111 is clamped with the heat exchange tube 21.

[0041] In some embodiments, a plurality of clamping grooves 1111 are provided on the connecting part 11 to improve the connection stability with the heat exchange tube 21.

[0042] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the heat exchanger 20 includes a plurality of fins 22 arranged in parallel at intervals, the extending direction of the fins 22 is the straight-line connection direction from the connecting portion 11 to the drainage portion 13, the heat exchanger 20 includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes 21 arranged in parallel at intervals, and the plurality of heat exchange tubes 21 are inserted through the fins 22 in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the fins 22. The clamping groove 1111 of the connecting portion 11 is clamped on the heat exchange tube 21 between adjacent fins 22. In other words, fins 22 are provided on both sides of the connecting portion 11. In this way, the temperature sensing package 30 can be located between the fins 22, the detected temperature is more accurate, and it is also beneficial to the stability of the connection between the connecting portion 11 and the heat exchanger 20.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 6 , the orthographic projection of the water diversion portion 112 on the plane where the heat exchanger 20 is located is located between adjacent heat exchange tubes 21. The temperature of the heat exchange tubes 21 is lower than the temperature of the area between adjacent heat exchange tubes 21. When the heat exchanger 20 frosts, frost will first form on the surface of the heat exchange tubes 21. There is a temperature difference between the positions between the heat exchange tubes 21 and the heat exchange tubes 21. Therefore, arranging the water diversion portion 112 between adjacent heat exchange tubes 21 is beneficial for the water diversion portion 112 to divert the condensed water to the installation groove 121 and delay the influence of frosting on it.

[0044] In some embodiments, the direction from the drainage portion 13 to the water diversion portion 112 is the first direction, and the orthographic projection of the fixing bracket 10 on the plane where the heat exchanger 20 is located is not higher than 1 / 2 of the height of the heat exchanger 20 in the first direction. In other words, when the heat exchanger 20 is applied to an air conditioner, the fixing bracket 10 is located in the middle and lower part of the heat exchanger 20 in the vertical direction. The temperature in the middle and lower part of the heat exchanger 20 is relatively low and is prone to icing. The fixing bracket 10 is located in the middle and lower part, and can quickly detect the temperature of the condensed water when the heat exchanger 20 freezes, so that the control system can take measures to defrost as soon as possible and reduce the adverse effects brought by icing.

[0045] Specifically, when the heat exchanger 20 is applied to an air conditioner, in the vertical direction from bottom to top, the heat exchange tubes 21 are successively 1U, 2U, 3U... etc., and the fixing bracket 10 is located at the 1U - 8U of the heat exchanger 20, which is convenient for timely detecting the temperature of the condensed water when the heat exchanger 20 freezes.

[0046] In some embodiments, the water diversion portion 112 includes at least one drainage groove 1121. The drainage groove 1121 has a first end and a second end arranged oppositely. The first end faces the heat exchanger 20, the second end is communicated with the installation groove 121, and the drainage groove 1121 extends obliquely downward from the first end to the second end.

[0047] Specifically, the connecting portion 11 includes at least two connecting plates 111 arranged in parallel at intervals. The drainage groove 1121 is located between adjacent connecting plates 111 and is used to drain the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger 20 to the installation groove 121. The fixing bracket 10 provided in this application may include three connecting plates 111 arranged in parallel at intervals. Adjacent connecting plates 111 are connected by a drainage groove 1121. Clamping grooves 1111 are provided on all three connecting plates 111 for clamping with the heat exchange tubes 21.

[0048] It should be noted that the drainage groove 1121 extends obliquely downward from the first end to the second end, which means that when the fixing bracket 10 is installed on the heat exchanger 20 and applied to the air conditioner, the first end to the second end is inclined downward. In this way, it is beneficial for the condensed water to flow smoothly to the installation groove 121 under the action of gravity and then be discharged through the drainage portion 13.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , the bracket body 12 and the heat exchanger 20 are arranged at intervals.

[0050] Furthermore, the distance between one end of the bracket body 12 close to the heat exchanger 20 and the heat exchanger 20 is H, and H≥5mm, which can effectively prevent the drainage groove 1121 from being blocked when the heat exchanger 20 freezes. It should be noted that one end of the bracket body 12 close to the heat exchanger 20 is the end where the drainage groove 1121 drains the condensed water to the installation groove 121. In other words, it is the outlet of the condensed water in the drainage groove 1121 and also the inlet of the condensed water in the installation groove 121.

[0051] In some embodiments, the drainage portion 13 extends obliquely downward from the bracket body 12 to the heat exchanger 20. When the fixing bracket 10 is installed on the heat exchanger 20 and applied to the air conditioner, the drainage portion 13 extends obliquely downward. In this way, it is beneficial for the condensed water to be discharged smoothly from the installation groove 121 through the drainage portion 13 under the action of gravity.

[0052] In some embodiments, heat exchange tubes 21 are provided at the contact portion between the heat exchanger 20 and the drainage portion 13. The temperature of the heat exchange tubes 21 is lower than the temperature between adjacent heat exchange tubes 21 and is more likely to freeze. In this way, when the heat exchanger 20 freezes, the drainage portion 13 can be quickly blocked, so that the temperature sensing package 30 can detect the temperature of the condensed water in time, and thus defrosting measures can be taken.

[0053] In some embodiments, the direction from the drainage part 13 to the water diversion part 112 is the first direction. The side wall of the support body 12 that intersects with the first direction and is close to the drainage part 13 extends obliquely downward from the side wall of the support body 12 away from the heat exchanger 20 to communicate with the drainage part 13. It should be noted that when the heat exchanger 20 is applied to an air conditioner, the first direction is vertically upward. The side walls of the support body 12 that intersect with the first direction include the top wall and the bottom wall of the support body 12. Among them, the top wall is close to the water diversion part 112, and the bottom wall is close to the drainage part 13. In other words, the bottom wall of the support body 12 extends obliquely downward from the side wall of the support body 12 away from the heat exchanger 20 to communicate with the drainage part 13. In this way, the discharge of condensed water from the installation groove 121 to the drainage part 13 can be further promoted.

[0054] In some embodiments, a limiting groove 125 is provided on the side wall of the support body 12 away from the heat exchanger 20 in the direction towards the heat exchanger 20. The limiting groove 125 is used for installing the temperature sensing package 30.

[0055] In some embodiments, a first ventilation opening 122 is provided on the side wall of the support body 12 away from the heat exchanger 20. The first ventilation opening 122 communicates with the installation groove 121. The first ventilation opening 122 can be used for the flow of air, and the first ventilation opening 122 can also be used for leading out the connecting pipe of the temperature sensing package 30 to transmit the detection data of the temperature sensing package 30 to the control system.

[0056] Furthermore, the horizontal height of the first ventilation opening 122 is higher than the horizontal height of the temperature sensing package 30. It should be noted that the horizontal height described in this application refers to the horizontal height when the fixing bracket 10 is connected to the heat exchanger 20 and applied to an air conditioner, and the same applies hereinafter. When the heat exchanger 20 freezes, condensed water accumulates in the installation groove 121, and the water level increases. The horizontal height of the first ventilation opening 122 is relatively high, which can prevent condensed water from directly flowing out of the first ventilation opening 122 and causing the temperature sensing package 30 to be unable to detect the temperature of the condensed water.

[0057] In some embodiments, a second ventilation opening 123 is provided on the side wall of the support body 12 close to the heat exchanger 20. The first ventilation opening 122 communicates with the second ventilation opening 123. Airflow can enter through the first ventilation opening 122 and flow out through the second ventilation opening 123, which is convenient for the temperature sensing package 30 to detect the indoor ambient temperature.

[0058] Furthermore, the horizontal height of the limiting groove 125 is not higher than the horizontal height of the second ventilation opening 123. When the heat exchanger 20 freezes, condensed water accumulates in the installation groove 121, and the water level increases. The horizontal height of the second ventilation opening 123 is relatively high, which can prevent condensed water from directly flowing out of the second ventilation opening 123 and causing the temperature sensing package 30 to be unable to detect the temperature of the condensed water.

[0059] In some embodiments, the direction from the drainage part 13 to the water diversion part 112 is the first direction. A third ventilation opening 124 is provided on the side wall of the bracket body 12 that intersects the first direction and is close to the water diversion part 112. The first ventilation opening 122 and the third ventilation opening 124 are communicated. It should be noted that when the heat exchanger 20 is applied to an air conditioner, the first direction is vertically upward. The side walls of the bracket body 12 that intersect the first direction include the top wall and the bottom wall of the bracket body 12. Among them, the top wall is close to the water diversion part 112, and the bottom wall is close to the drainage part 13. In other words, the third ventilation opening is provided on the top wall of the bracket body 12. The air flow can enter through the first ventilation opening 122 and flow out through the third ventilation opening 124, which is convenient for the temperature sensing package 30 to detect the indoor environmental temperature.

[0060] It should be noted that the second ventilation opening 123 and the third ventilation opening 124 can be provided on the bracket body 12 at the same time, which increases the air flow, makes the temperature detected by the temperature sensing package 30 more accurate, and the air flow can reduce the risk of the heat exchanger 20 icing.

[0061] In some embodiments, in the fixed bracket 10, the connecting part 11, the bracket body 12 and the drainage part 13 are integrally formed. In other words, the fixed bracket 10 is a single component. In this way, the number of components can be reduced and the installation process can be saved.

[0062] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes a heat exchanger 20, a temperature sensing package 30 and the fixed bracket 10 of any one of the above. The fixed bracket 10 includes a connecting part 11, a bracket body 12 and a drainage part 13 that are connected in sequence. The connecting part 11 of the fixed bracket 10 is connected to the heat exchanger 20. A water diversion part 112 is provided on the connecting part 11. An installation groove 121 is provided in the bracket body 12. The temperature sensing package 30 is located in the installation groove 121 of the fixed bracket 10.

Obviously, for those skilled in the art, the above detailed disclosure is only an example and does not constitute a limitation to the present application. Although not explicitly stated here, those skilled in the art may make various modifications, improvements and corrections to the present application.
