[0029] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0030] In this disclosure, unless otherwise indicated, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used to distinguish one element from another and do not imply order or importance. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, identical reference numerals in different drawings represent identical or similar elements. The above definitions are intended solely to explain and illustrate this disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the disclosure.

[0031] According to the specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a duct machine is provided, referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the duct air conditioner includes: a box body 300, the box body 300 is formed with an installation cavity 400; an evaporator assembly 200, the evaporator assembly 200 is arranged in the installation cavity 400 and includes an evaporator bracket 210 and an evaporator 220, the evaporator bracket 210 is fixedly arranged on one side of the evaporator 220 and is arranged at an angle to the evaporator 220; and a wind shield 100, the wind shield 100 is snap-connected to the evaporator bracket 210 and abuts against the cavity wall of the installation cavity 400 to separate the installation cavity 400 into a heat exchange area 410 and a water pump unit area 420.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, in the duct air conditioner provided in the present disclosure, the wind shield 100 is snap-connected to the evaporator bracket 210 and abuts against the cavity wall of the installation cavity 400 to separate the installation cavity 400 into a heat exchange area 410 and a water pump unit area 420. In this way, the wind shield 100 can stop the fluid in the heat exchange area 410 from flowing to the water pump unit area 420 to eliminate the cavity sound generated by the fluid blowing through the water pump unit area 420.

[0033] In the air duct machine provided by the present disclosure, the windshield 100 and the evaporator bracket 210 can be connected by snapping in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown in , the windshield 100 includes a plate body 110 and a snap-fit portion. The plate body 110 can be assembled with the end surface of the evaporator bracket 210. The snap-fit portion can be connected to the plate body 110 and protrude from the plate body 110 toward the evaporator bracket 210 to engage with the evaporator bracket 210. The plate body 110 is assembled with the end surface of the evaporator bracket 210. In other words, the shape of the end surface of the plate body 110 facing the evaporator bracket 210 is adapted to the end surface of the evaporator bracket 210, ensuring that the plate body 110 can be positioned in close contact with the end surface of the evaporator bracket 210. This prevents fluid from flowing from between the windshield 100 and the evaporator bracket 210 to the water pump unit area 420, ensuring that the windshield 100 effectively blocks fluid. Furthermore, the snap-fit portion allows the windshield 100 to be easily assembled and disassembled from the evaporator bracket 210.

[0034] In the air duct machine provided by the present disclosure, the clamping portion can be constructed in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown in , the engaging portion may include a first engaging portion 130 and a second engaging portion 140. The first engaging portion 130 and the second engaging portion 140 may be disposed on either side of the plate body 110. A space for inserting the evaporator bracket 210 may be formed between the first engaging portion 130 and the second engaging portion 140, thereby securing the evaporator bracket 210 between the first engaging portion 130 and the second engaging portion 140. Thus, when assembling the windshield 100 and the evaporator bracket 210, simply aligning the evaporator bracket 210 with the aforementioned "space for inserting the evaporator bracket 210" simplifies assembly. Furthermore, the evaporator bracket 210 is secured between the first engaging portion 130 and the second engaging portion 140. This means that relative displacement between the windshield 100 and the evaporator bracket 210 in the thickness direction of the windshield 100 is prevented, ensuring the stability of the assembled windshield 100.

[0035] In another exemplary embodiment, the snap-fitting portion may also be constructed as a card block, and a card slot compatible with the above-mentioned card block may be provided on the evaporator bracket 210, and the card block may be snap-fitted and installed in the corresponding card slot.

[0036] In the air duct machine provided by the present disclosure, the first clamping portion 130 and the second clamping portion 140 can be constructed in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown in , the plate body 110 may have a fitting surface 111 that can fit against the end surface of the evaporator bracket 210. The first clamping portion 130 and / or the second clamping portion 140 may be configured as a protruding plate 131 extending from the fitting surface 111 toward the evaporator bracket 210. In other words, the first clamping portion 130 and the second clamping portion 140 may each form an L-shaped structure with the fitting surface 111 to stop the evaporator bracket 210 at opposite sides of the evaporator bracket 210 along its thickness direction.

[0037] In addition, in order to improve the structural strength of the convex plate 131, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in , the first clamping portion 130 and / or the second clamping portion 140 may include a reinforcing flange 132. The reinforcing flange 132 may be arranged around the edge of the protruding plate 131 and connected to the plate body 110. The reinforcing flange 132 may be provided on a side of the protruding plate 131 facing away from the evaporator support 210. This can enhance the structural strength of the protruding plate 131 and improve the durability of the clamping portion and the windshield 100.

[0038] In the air duct machine provided in the present disclosure, the first clamping portion 130 and / or the second clamping portion 140 can be set at any appropriate position. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown in , multiple first and second clamping portions 130, 140 can be provided at intervals, and the first and second clamping portions 130, 140 can be staggered. That is, multiple first clamping portions 130 can be spaced apart along the extension direction of the contact surface 111 to firmly support the first side of the evaporator support 210 along its thickness direction. Furthermore, multiple second clamping portions 140 can also be spaced apart along the extension direction of the contact surface 111 to firmly support the second side of the evaporator support 210 along its thickness direction. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the first and second clamping portions 130, 140 can reduce the number of first and second clamping portions 130, 140, thereby reducing the weight of the windshield 100 while ensuring the effective clamping effect of the clamping portions.

[0039] In the air duct machine provided by the present disclosure, the wind shield 100 and the box body 300 can be installed in any suitable manner.

The plate body 110 can be attached to the partition 320, and the connecting portion 120 can be connected to the plate body 110 and detachably connected to the partition 320. The plate body 110 and the partition 320 are attached to each other, thereby preventing fluid from flowing from between the windshield 100 and the partition 320 toward the water pump unit area 420, thereby ensuring that the windshield 100 effectively blocks fluid. Furthermore, the windshield 100 is detachably connected to the partition 320 via the connecting portion 120, facilitating assembly and disassembly of the windshield 100 and the partition 320.

[0041] Among them, the plate body 110 can be provided with at least one connecting portion 120 on both sides opposite to each other along its own thickness direction. As an exemplary embodiment, the number of connecting portions 120 can be two, and the two connecting portions 120 can be respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the windshield 100 along its own thickness direction, and the two connecting portions 120 can be respectively arranged close to the two opposite ends of the windshield 100, so that the stability of the windshield 100 installed on the partition 320 can be ensured.

[0042] In the air duct machine provided in the present disclosure, the connecting portion 120 can be constructed in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown in , the duct unit may include fasteners, and the connecting portion 120 may include a connecting plate 121.
