[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly of the embodiment of the present utility model includes an air duct component 1, a chassis 2 and a support member 3.
[0035] The chassis 2 is provided below the air duct assembly 1. For example, a mobile air conditioner may be provided with two air duct assemblies, namely an upper air duct assembly and a lower air duct assembly, wherein the upper air duct assembly is located above the lower air duct assembly, and the upper air duct assembly can be used with an evaporator to supply cold air, while the lower air duct assembly can be used with a condenser to supply hot air. The air duct assembly 1 in this embodiment is specifically a lower air duct assembly.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the chassis 2 can be roughly in the shape of a square box. The chassis 2 can be arranged below the air duct assembly 1 and spaced apart from the air duct assembly 1. A water storage cavity can be provided on the chassis 2, which can serve as a water receiving tray. The condensed water generated during the use of the mobile air conditioner can be collected in the water storage cavity.
[0037] The support member 3 is installed between the air duct assembly 1 and the chassis 2. The top end of the support member 3 is connected to the air duct assembly 1, and the bottom end of the support member 3 is connected to the chassis 2. The inner side of the support member 3 is used to install the compressor 4.
[0038] For example,Figure 1 As shown, the support member 3 can be generally a plate-shaped structure and arranged vertically. The entire support member 3 can be located between the air duct assembly 1 and the chassis 2. The top end of the support member 3 can be connected and fixed to the air duct assembly 1 by screws, snaps and other structures, and the bottom end of the support member 3 can also be connected and fixed to the chassis 2 by screws, snaps and other structures, thereby ensuring the connection structure strength of the support member 3.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a compressor 4 and the like can be installed between the air duct assembly 1 and the chassis 2 , and the inward and outward directions of the support member 3 can be left and right directions, wherein the compressor 4 can be installed on the left side (inside) of the support member 3 .
[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the support member 3 can be integrally formed with a clearance portion 39, which can be a groove-shaped structure. During assembly, the clearance portion 39 can allow a part of the compressor 4 to be embedded, thereby playing the role of avoiding the compressor 4, which is beneficial to improving the overall space utilization and the overall assembly compactness.
[0041] The support assembly of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a support member 3 between the air duct component 1 and the chassis 2. The support member 3 is provided with an assembly cavity 31, which facilitates the installation and arrangement of the water tank 5 and realizes the assembly integration of the support member 3 and the water tank 5.
[0042] Secondly, when the water tank 5 is removed, the support member 3 can shield the compressor 4 and other components, thereby avoiding the compressor 4 and other components from being directly exposed to the outside. The support member 3 can isolate and protect the internal components and improve the overall appearance.
[0043] In addition, the support member 3 can also play a supporting role, that is, the support member 3 can be supported between the chassis 2 and the air duct assembly 1, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the connection between the two and satisfying the function of supporting and separating the air duct assembly 1 and the chassis 2.
[0044] In some embodiments, the outer side of the support member 3 is provided with an assembly cavity 31, and the assembly cavity 31 is used for embedding the water tank 5. Figure 2 As shown, the right side of the support member 3 may be provided with an assembly cavity 31, which may be formed by integral injection molding. Figure 3 As shown, the water tank 5 and the like can be embedded in the assembly cavity 31, and the outer wall surface of the water tank 5 can be substantially in the same plane as the side wall of the mobile air conditioner, thereby ensuring the overall appearance.
[0045] In some embodiments, a water receiving tray may be provided on the bottom side of the air duct assembly 1 , and the top side of the support member 3 may be directly connected and fixed to the water receiving tray of the air duct assembly 1 .
[0046] In some embodiments, support feet 32 are provided at the bottom of the support member 3, and the support feet 32 are inserted and cooperated with the chassis 2 to position the support member 3 and the chassis 2. For example, as Figure 4 shown, the material of the support member 3 can be plastic or the like, and the support feet 32 can be formed on the bottom side of the support member 3 by integral injection molding. A groove-like structure can be provided on the chassis 2. During assembly, the support feet 32 can be inserted and assembled into the groove-like structure of the chassis 2, so that the assembly positioning of the support member 3 and the chassis 2 can be realized, and the structural stability after the assembly of the two is also improved.
[0047] In some embodiments, a card slot 321 for the chassis 2 to be embedded is provided on the bottom side of the support feet 32. For example, as Figure 4 shown, the card slot 321 can be formed on the bottom side of the support feet 32 by integral injection molding. The card slot 321 can be a V-shaped groove, and the card slot 321 can penetrate through the support feet 32 along the front-back direction. During assembly, a part of the chassis 2 can be embedded into the card slot 321, further enhancing the assembly positioning effect of the support member 3 and the chassis 2.
[0048] In some embodiments, there are multiple support feet 32, and the multiple support feet 32 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. For example, as Figure 4 shown, there can be two support feet 32, and the two support feet 32 can be arranged at intervals in the front-back direction, further improving the structural stability of the assembly of the support member 3 and the chassis 2.
[0049] In some embodiments, the support member 3 is connected to the air duct assembly 1 through a first fastener. Multiple first columns 33 are provided on the top side of the support member 3, and each first column 33 is used for connecting and fixing with the first fastener passing through the air duct assembly 1.
[0050] For example, as Figure 4 shown, the first fastener can be a screw, a bolt or the like. There can be two first columns 33 on the top side of the support member 3, and the two first columns 33 can be formed on the support member 3 by integral injection molding. An ear plate or the like structure can be provided on the bottom side of the air duct assembly 1. After the support member 3 is assembled on the bottom side of the air duct assembly 1, the ear plate on the air duct assembly 1 can be arranged opposite to the two first columns 33 one by one, and then the first fastener is passed through the corresponding ear plate and connected and fixed with the corresponding first column 33, so as to ensure the connection structural strength of the support member 3 and the air duct assembly 1.
[0051] In some embodiments, the support member 3 is connected to the chassis 2 through a second fastener. Multiple second columns 34 are provided on the bottom side of the support member 3, and each second column 34 is used for connecting and fixing with the second fastener passing through the chassis 2.
[0052] For example, as Figure 4As shown, the second fastener can also be a screw, a bolt, etc. Two second cylinders 34 can be provided on the bottom side of the support member 3, and the two second cylinders 34 can also be formed on the support member 3 by integral injection molding. Structures such as ear plates can also be provided at the circumferential edge position of the chassis 2.
[0053] After the support member 3 is placed on the chassis 2, the ear plates on the chassis 2 can be arranged opposite to the second cylinders 34. Then, the second fastener can be passed through the corresponding ear plates and connected and fixed to the second cylinders 34, thus ensuring the connection structure strength between the support member 3 and the chassis 2.
[0054] It should be noted that both the first cylinder 33 and the second cylinder 34 can be threaded cylinders, that is, threaded holes can be provided inside the first cylinder 33 and the second cylinder 34. The first fastener and the second fastener can be respectively connected and fixed to the first cylinder 33 and the second cylinder 34 by means of threaded assembly.
[0055] In some embodiments, both the first cylinder 33 and the second cylinder 34 extend along the horizontal direction, and the extending directions of at least two first cylinders 33 are different, and the extending directions of at least two second cylinders 34 are different.
[0056] For example, as Figure 4 shown, both the first cylinder 33 and the second cylinder 34 can be provided with two. The two first cylinders 33 can be arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction. The rear first cylinder 33 can extend along the front-rear direction, and the front first cylinder 33 can extend along the left-right direction. Thus, the support member 3 and the air duct assembly 1 can be connected and fixed from different directions, further ensuring the structural stability of the connection between the support member 3 and the air duct assembly 1.
[0057] For example, as Figure 4 shown, the two second cylinders 34 can be arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction. The rear second cylinder 34 can extend along the front-rear direction, and the front second cylinder 34 can extend along the left-right direction. Thus, the support member 3 and the chassis 2 can be connected and fixed from different directions, further ensuring the structural stability of the connection between the support member 3 and the chassis 2.
[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, the support member 3 includes a top plate 35, a bottom plate 36 and two side plates 37. The top plate 35 is arranged above the bottom plate 36 and is arranged parallel and at intervals with the bottom plate 36. The two side plates 37 are both connected between the top plate 35 and the bottom plate 36, and the two side plates 37 are arranged in parallel and at intervals in the front-rear direction. The above-mentioned assembly cavity 31 is formed in the space surrounded by the top plate 35, the bottom plate 36 and the two side plates 37.
[0059] The thickness of at least one side panel 37 is not less than the thickness of either the top panel 35 or the bottom panel 36. For example, the thickness of the rear side panel 37 is thicker than the top panel 35 and the bottom panel 36. This provides the side panel 37 with a high structural strength, fully meeting the structural strength requirements of the side panel 37 supporting the air duct assembly 1 and the chassis 2.
[0060] In some embodiments, a plurality of limiting ribs 38 are provided on the inner wall of the assembly cavity 31 , and the limiting ribs 38 extend along the groove depth direction of the assembly cavity 31 . The water tank 5 is provided with a guide groove, and the limiting ribs 38 are used to be embedded in the guide groove.
[0061] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the limiting rib 38 can be in the shape of a long strip, and the limiting rib 38 can be formed on the corresponding groove wall of the assembly cavity 31 by integral injection molding. For example, two limiting ribs 38 can be provided on the above-mentioned bottom plate 36 and the front side plate 37, and the two limiting ribs 38 can extend in the left and right directions, so that the extension direction of the limiting rib 38 is consistent with the assembly direction of the water tank 5.
[0062] A guide groove can be provided on the corresponding wall surface of the water tank 5, and the shape of the guide groove is adapted to the shape of the limiting rib 38. When the water tank 5 is assembled into the assembly cavity 31, the corresponding limiting rib 38 can be inserted into the corresponding guide groove respectively, thereby enhancing the guiding performance of the water tank 5 assembly, and also enhancing the limiting constraint effect after assembly, thereby improving the overall structural stability.
[0063] In some embodiments, the clearance portion 39 is arc-shaped, and is disposed on the outer circumference of the compressor 4 . The distance between the clearance portion 39 and the compressor 4 remains consistent along the circumference of the compressor 4 .
[0064] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clearance portion 39 can be integrally formed on the wall surface of the support member 3 adjacent to the compressor 4. The clearance portion 39 can be arc-shaped. The clearance portion 39 can be coaxially arranged with the axis of the compressor 4. The clearance portion 39 and the casing of the compressor 4 can be spaced apart, and the distance between the clearance portion 39 and the casing of the compressor 4 can always be the same along the circumferential direction of the compressor 4, thereby enabling the support member 3 to avoid the compressor 4 and also improving the utilization rate of the internal space.
[0065] In some embodiments, a sound insulation medium is provided between the compressor 4 and the support member 3. The sound insulation medium may be sound insulation cotton, thereby avoiding direct rigid contact between the compressor 4 and the support member 3 on the one hand, and also achieving a sound-absorbing and noise-reducing effect on the other hand, thereby improving the overall comfort of use.
[0066] In some embodiments, each wall surface of the water tank 5 inserted into the assembly cavity 31 can be in close contact with the groove wall of the assembly cavity 31, thus ensuring the use requirement of large-capacity storage of the water tank 5.
