Detailed implementation manners

[0025] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, the stacking assembly of the embodiment of the present utility model is used for an air conditioner indoor unit and includes a heat exchanger 1, an electric control box 2 and a driving motor 3.

[0027] Among them, the heat exchanger 1 can be used as an evaporator. In some other embodiments, the heat exchanger 1 can also be used as a condenser. The air conditioner indoor unit is provided with an air inlet 9 and an air outlet 10. The air inlet 9 is located below the heat exchanger 1, and the air outlet 10 is located on the front side of the air conditioner indoor unit and above the heat exchanger 1.

[0028] For example, as Figure 4 shown, the air inlet 9 can be provided on the bottom surface of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the air outlet 10 can be provided on the front side surface of the air conditioner indoor unit. In the up - down direction, the heat exchanger 1 is located between the air inlet 9 and the air outlet 10, so as to meet the use requirements of lower air inlet, then heat exchange through the heat exchanger 1, and finally upper air outlet through the air outlet 10.

[0029] The electric control box 2 is provided at one end of the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction, and the driving motor 3 is provided at the other end of the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction. The driving motor 3 is used to drive the cross - flow fan of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0030] For example, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first direction of the heat exchanger 1 is the length direction of the heat exchanger 1, specifically the left - right direction. In the left - right direction, the heat exchanger 1 can be provided between the electric control box 2 and the driving motor 3. Among them, the electric control box 2 can be located on the left side of the heat exchanger 1, and the driving motor 3 can be located on the right side of the heat exchanger 1.

[0031] It should be noted that the driving motor 3 can be a cross - flow fan driving motor for the impeller in the air duct. During use, the impeller can be driven to rotate by the driving motor 3, so as to provide power for the transportation of air flow.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the electric control box 2 and the drive motor 3 of the stacking assembly are respectively arranged at both ends of the heat exchanger 1. Compared with the prior art design in which the electric control box 2 and the drive motor 3 are arranged at the same end of the heat exchanger 1, the optimized arrangement of the electric control box 2 and the drive motor 3 is realized, thereby reducing the overall length dimension.

[0033] Secondly, since the electric control box 2 and the drive motor 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the heat exchanger 1, as Figure 1 shown, at this time, the distance between line A and line B is generally the same as the distance between line C and line D, and the air outlet 10 can be between line B and line C, thus avoiding the problem of the offset setting of the air outlet 10 and the like caused by arranging the electric control box 2 and the drive motor 3 at the same end in the prior art, improving the appearance, and also being beneficial to central air outlet and enhancing the user experience.

[0034] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 1 includes heat exchange tubes, and the heat exchange tubes have a protruding section 11 protruding from one end of the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction. The protruding section 11 and the drive motor 3 are located at the same end of the heat exchanger 1.

[0035] For example, as Figure 2 shown, the heat exchange tubes can be in a Z shape and can be bent and extended reciprocally in the left - right direction. A part of the tube section of the heat exchange tubes can protrude from the right side wall of the heat exchanger 1 and form the above - mentioned protruding section 11. There are multiple protruding sections 11, and each protruding section 11 can generally be in a U - shaped tubular form.

[0036] Multiple protruding sections 11 and the above - mentioned drive motor 3 can both be arranged at the right end of the heat exchanger 1. Since the overall size specification of the drive motor 3 is smaller than that of the electric control box 2, arranging the protruding section 11 and the drive motor 3 on the same side can provide sufficient installation space for the electric control box 2 and is also beneficial to realizing the optimized arrangement of the space on the same side of the drive motor 3.

[0037] In some embodiments, the stacking assembly includes a first motion mechanism 4. The first motion mechanism 4 and the drive motor 3 are arranged at the same end of the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction, and at least two of the protruding section 11, the drive motor 3, and the first motion mechanism 4 are stacked and arranged in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0038] For example, as Figure 2 shown, the first motion mechanism 4 can include a connecting rod, a crank, etc. The first motion mechanism 4 can be connected to the air deflector of the air conditioner indoor unit. The air deflector is located at the front side of the air conditioner indoor unit and is used to block or open the air outlet. During use, the air deflector is driven to swing by the first motion mechanism 4.

[0039] As Figure 2As shown, the first motion mechanism 4 can be disposed at the right end of the heat exchanger 1. The second direction can be the front-rear direction. The first motion mechanism 4 and the drive motor 3 can be stacked and arranged in the front-rear direction, so that the spatial optimization arrangement between the first motion mechanism 4 and the drive motor 3 can be realized, and the overall space utilization rate can be improved.

[0040] In some embodiments, the stacking assembly includes a second motion mechanism 5. The second motion mechanism 5 and the electric control box 2 are disposed at the same end of the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction, and the second motion mechanism 5 and the electric control box 2 are stacked and arranged in the second direction.

[0041] For example, as Figure 2 shown, the structure of the second motion mechanism 5 can be the same as that of the above-mentioned first motion mechanism 4, which will not be elaborated here. The second motion mechanism 5 can be disposed at the left end of the heat exchanger 1. During use, the second motion mechanism 5 can be linked with the first motion mechanism 4, and the above-mentioned air deflector can be connected between the first motion mechanism 4 and the second motion mechanism 5, thus ensuring the structural stability on both the left and right sides of the swing adjustment of the air deflector.

[0042] For example, as Figure 2 shown, the second motion mechanism 5 as a whole can be disposed at the front side of the electric control box 2, so that the spatial optimization arrangement of the second motion mechanism 5 and the electric control box 2 in the front-rear direction can be realized, and further the space utilization rate on the left side of the heat exchanger 1 can be improved.

[0043] In some embodiments, the stacking assembly includes a fresh air module 6. The fresh air module 6 and the electric control box 2 are disposed at the same end of the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction. For example, as Figure 3 shown, the fresh air module 6 is mainly used to enable the stacking assembly to have a fresh air function. Both the fresh air module 6 and the electric control box 2 can be disposed at the left end of the heat exchanger 1, so that the space on the left side of the heat exchanger 1 can be fully utilized.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the fresh air module 6 and the electric control box 2 are stacked and arranged in the up-down direction, and the fresh air module 6 is located above the electric control box 2. Thus, the fresh air module 6 and the electric control box 2 can be stacked in the up-down direction, avoiding the situation that the length dimension in the left-right direction is easily increased when arranged side by side in the left-right direction, which is beneficial to further reducing the overall size.

[0045] In some embodiments, the stacking assembly includes a drain pipe 7. The heat exchanger 1 includes heat exchange tubes, and the heat exchange tubes have a protruding section 11 protruding from one end of the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction. The drain pipe 1 includes an interface end 71 for connecting with a water receiving tray. The interface end 71, the protruding section 11, and the drive motor 3 are disposed at the same end of the heat exchanger 1.

[0046] For example, the protruding section 11 can be the protruding section 11 described above, which will not be elaborated here. As Figure 3 shown, the interface end 71 of the drain pipe 7, the protruding section 11, and the driving motor 3 can all be arranged at the right end of the heat exchanger 1. The drain pipe 7 can be the pipe of the water receiving tray, mainly used to discharge the condensed liquid collected in the water receiving tray, etc. The water receiving tray can be installed directly below the heat exchanger 1, and the interface end 71 is a part of the pipe section of the drain pipe 7 for connecting with the water receiving tray, which can be regarded as the end joint of the drain pipe 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, a pipe routing space 8 is provided at the rear side of the heat exchanger 1. The pipe routing space 8 extends along the first direction of the heat exchanger 1, and a fresh air pipe or a drain pipe 7 and heat exchanger pipes are provided in the pipe routing space 8. The fresh air pipe is connected to the fresh air module 6, and the heat exchanger pipes are connected to the heat exchanger 1.

[0048] For example, as Figure 4 shown, the pipe routing space 8 can be provided at the bottom of the rear side of the heat exchanger 1, and the pipe routing space 8 extends along the left - right direction. The above - mentioned heat exchanger pipes can be the liquid inlet pipe or the liquid outlet pipe of the heat exchanger 1. Since the fresh air pipe, the drain pipe 7, and the protruding section 11 of the heat exchanger 1 are arranged at different ends of the heat exchanger 1.

[0049] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is left - out - pipe type, only the drain pipe 7 and heat exchanger pipes can be arranged in the pipe routing space 8. At this time, the fresh air pipe does not pass through the pipe routing space 8 and can directly pass out from the left side of the heat exchanger 1. When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is right - out - pipe type, only the fresh air pipe and wires can be arranged in the pipe routing space 8. At this time, the drain pipe 7 and heat exchanger pipes can directly pass out from the right side of the heat exchanger 1.

[0050] Thus, the situation where the fresh air pipe, the drain pipe 7, and the heat exchanger pipes are arranged in the pipe routing space 8 at the same time, resulting in a larger size of the pipe routing space 8, is avoided. It is beneficial to reduce the size specification of the pipe routing space 8, and then it can ensure that the air outlet 10 has a larger diameter, meeting the use requirement of large - air - outlet.

[0051] In some embodiments, both the air inlet 9 and the air outlet 10 are located between the electric control box 2 and the driving motor 3. For example, as Figure 1 shown, both the air inlet 9 and the air outlet 10 can be generally arranged between line B and line C, thus meeting the use requirement of central air inlet and air outlet, and being beneficial to improving the appearance.

[0052] Next, the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0053] The indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a stacking assembly, and the stacking assembly can be the stacking assembly described in any of the above - mentioned embodiments.

[0054] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the above embodiments are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
