[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing throughout the text includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme in which A and B are satisfied at the same time. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0033] In the prior art, to address the issue of evaporator components falling or colliding with the tubes, a fixing method using multiple screws and a single clip is typically used. This structure offers the advantages of stability and reliability. However, during assembly, since there is only one clip, multiple screws must be installed after the clip is snapped into the base, which reduces production efficiency. Therefore, the technical solution in the embodiments of this application proposes an air conditioner indoor unit that can significantly improve production efficiency.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application proposes an air conditioner indoor unit, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 Shown, including:

[0035] An evaporator component 100, wherein the evaporator component 100 is provided with at least two buckles 110, wherein the at least two buckles 110 are spaced apart along the length direction of the air conditioner indoor unit; the buckles 110 have buckle surfaces 1121; and

[0036] The base component 200 is provided with a boss 210, and the bosses 210 are arranged at intervals along the length direction and are arranged one-to-one with the buckles 110; the bosses 210 have a first surface 211, a second surface 212 arranged opposite to the first surface 211, and a socket 213 passing through the first surface 211 and the second surface 212; the buckle 110 passes through the socket 213, and the buckle surface 1121 is arranged to face the second surface 212 or abut against the second surface 212.

[0037] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, when installing the evaporator component 100, at least two buckles 110 thereon are respectively inserted into the insertion holes 213 from the first surfaces 211 of the corresponding bosses 210 on the base component 200 and then pass through the second surface 212. The buckle surfaces 1121 of the buckles 110 face or abut the second surface 212, so that multiple buckles 110 can be restricted by the second surfaces 212 of the corresponding bosses 210, realizing inverted buckling and thus realizing the positioning of the evaporator component 100. Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can install the evaporator component 100 to the base 200 at multiple points at one time, which can reduce the number of subsequent screw fixations, realize rapid installation of the evaporator component 100, and improve its installation efficiency.

[0038] In some embodiments, the boss 210 is provided on the front side of the base component 200; during operation, the boss 210 is close to the installer's side, and the installer applies an installation push-in action toward the inside thereof, inserting the socket into the socket 213 and out of the second surface 212, thereby improving installation convenience and efficiency.

[0039] It should be noted that a heat exchange channel is formed between the base component 200 and the shell of the air conditioner indoor unit; the evaporator component 100 is located in the heat exchange channel to exchange heat with the air to achieve the purpose of regulating indoor air quality.

[0040] As an alternative embodiment to the above embodiment, the evaporator component 100 includes an end plate 120 and an evaporator tube disposed on the end plate 120. The buckle 110 is connected to the end plate 120, with the buckle surface 1121 facing the evaporator tube. In this embodiment, the buckle 110 and the end plate 120 are integrally formed. The buckle surface 1121 faces the evaporator tube, so that after the buckle 110 is inserted into the insertion hole 213, the buckle surface 1121 abuts or faces the second surface 212 and is inverted on the boss 210, thereby retaining the evaporator component 100 in place.

[0041] In the embodiment, the first surface 211 is disposed toward the evaporator tube, and the second surface 212 is disposed away from the evaporator tube. The buckle 110 passes through the insertion hole 213 from the first surface 211 to the outside of the second surface 212, and the buckle surface 1121 abuts or faces the second surface 212, thereby limiting the position of the evaporator component 100.

[0042] As an alternative embodiment to the above embodiment, the latch 110 includes a first section 111 and a second section 112. The first section 111 is connected to the end plate 120 and extends toward the boss 210. The second section 112 is bent at the end of the first section 111 away from the end plate 120. The second section 112 is bent at the end of the first section 111 away from the end plate 120, so that the inverted structure of the latch 110 is positioned away from the end plate 120. This facilitates insertion of the second section 112 into and through the insertion hole 213 along the installation direction during assembly. A buckle surface 1121 is the side of the second section 112 facing the evaporator tube. The second section 112 is bent at the first section 111, and its side facing the evaporator tube is the buckle surface 1121. The buckle surface 1121 abuts or faces the second surface 212 and is inverted on the boss 210, thereby limiting the position of the evaporator component 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the second segment 112 is one; in other embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, there are two second sections 112. In a specific implementation process, the number of the second sections 112 is not specifically limited.

[0044] As an alternative embodiment to the above embodiment, the buckle 110 has a third surface 1111, which at least partially abuts the wall surface of the insertion hole 213. In this embodiment, the third surface 1111 of the buckle 110 abuts at least partially the wall surface of the insertion hole 213, and the buckle surface 1121 faces or abuts the second surface 212. This ensures a secure assembly between the buckle 110 and the boss 210, improving the stability of the boss 210 in retaining the evaporator component 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, the third surface 1111 is a surface of the first section 111 , which is formed by extending along the extension direction of the first section 111 . In some embodiments, the third surface 1111 is connected to the second surface 212 .

[0046] As an alternative embodiment to the above embodiment, the third surface 1111 is arranged at an angle to the first surface 211. The first surface 211 is the side where the buckle 110 enters the socket 213. The angle between the third surface 1111 and the first surface 211 improves the convenience and speed of inserting the buckle 110 into the socket 213.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the third surface 1111 is a horizontal surface, and the first surface 211 is inclined with respect to the first surface 211. Figure 2As shown, the undercut also has a fourth surface 1112, which is inclined relative to the third surface 1111 and the first surface 211. This can reduce assembly interference and improve assembly efficiency. During assembly, the operator can adjust the insertion angle of the buckle 110 to quickly insert the buckle 110 into the socket 213.

[0048] As an alternative to the above embodiment, the base assembly 200 includes a water receiving tray 220, on which the boss 210 is disposed. The water receiving tray 220 is used to receive condensed water from the evaporator assembly 100; that is, the evaporator assembly 100 is mounted on the water receiving tray 220. In this embodiment, the boss 210 is integrally formed at the edge of the water receiving tray 220.

[0049] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, there are at least two buckles 110, and the at least two buckles 110 are spaced apart along the length direction of the air conditioner indoor unit. Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two sockets spaced apart along the length of the air conditioner chamber; there are at least two bosses 210 spaced apart along the length; the buckles 110 and bosses 210 mate with each other in a one-to-one manner. During installation, the installer can mate the sockets with their corresponding bosses 210 in a single movement, improving the positioning and securement of the evaporator component 100.

[0050] In an embodiment, two buckles 110 are provided at both ends of the evaporator component 100 .

[0051] In an embodiment, there may be three or more buckles 110 , and the number of buckles 110 is mainly determined by the length of the evaporator component 100 .

[0052] As an alternative embodiment of the above embodiment, the longitudinal direction is arranged to intersect with the insertion direction of the sockets 213. In the embodiment, the direction of the sockets 213 defines the insertion direction of the buckle 110, which is the installation direction of the evaporator component. In some embodiments, the longitudinal direction and the installation direction are arranged perpendicularly to facilitate installation by the installation personnel. During installation, the installation personnel apply a displacement perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to the evaporator component 100 and insert the multiple sockets into the corresponding sockets 213, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0053] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the evaporator component 100 is provided with a first connection hole 121, and the base component 200 is provided with a second connection hole 221; the first connection hole 121 and the second connection hole 221 are connected by a connector. In an embodiment, the first connection hole 121 and the second connection hole 221 are screw holes, and the connector is a threaded member. The first connection hole 121 and the buckle 110 are spaced apart in the width direction of the air conditioner indoor unit. In an embodiment, when the buckle 110 on the evaporator component 100 engages with the boss 210 on the base component 200, the first connection hole 121 and the second connection hole 221 correspond to each other, and the first connection hole 121 and the second connection hole 221 are fixed by the connector, thereby securing the evaporator.

[0054] In the embodiment, the first connection hole 121 is provided on a first connection platform of the evaporator component 100 ; and the second connection hole 221 is provided on a second connection platform of the evaporator component 100 .

[0055] In some embodiments, two latches 110 are provided at either end of the evaporator assembly; a first connection hole 121 is provided at either end of the evaporator assembly; one latch 110 and a connection hole are located at the same end and spaced apart along the width direction; another latch 110 and another first connection hole 121 are located at the other end and spaced apart along the width direction; a boss 210 is positioned corresponding to the position of the latch 110, and a second connection hole 221 is positioned corresponding to the position of the first connection hole 121. After assembly, this arrangement improves post-assembly securing, preventing the evaporator component 100 from falling and disengaging during a drop test, and also improves production installation efficiency. During installation, the two latches 110 are first aligned with the boss 210 in the installation direction, and then the first connection hole 121 and the second connection hole 221 are aligned. The first connection hole 121 and the second connection hole 221 are then connected via a connector to secure the evaporator component 100. Compared to the prior art, this arrangement reduces the number of connectors required, improving assembly efficiency.

[0056] Combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the left buckle 110 is buckled into the socket 213 of the left boss 210 to achieve left-side limitation; the right buckle 110 is buckled into the socket 213 of the right boss 210 to achieve right-side limitation; the first connecting hole 121 on the left and the second connecting hole 221 on the left are connected by a connecting piece, and the first connecting hole 121 on the right and the second connecting hole 221 on the right are connected by a connecting piece to achieve limitation and fastening of the evaporator component 100, making it more convenient to install the evaporator component 100 and the base component 200. At the same time, due to the limiting design of the inverted buckle, the evaporator component 100 is easy to install and fixed more securely.
