[0032] To facilitate understanding of the solution of the present application, the spline curves and arrows used in the drawings are explained here: the components indicated by the spline curves without arrows are solid components, that is, components with solid structures; the components indicated by the spline curves with arrows are virtual components, that is, components without solid structures.

[0033] First, see Figure 1 A valve body mounting structure 100 includes a valve seat 10 and a side plate 20 connected to each other. The side plate 20 can be installed and connected to the valve seat 10 along a first direction. The valve seat 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting notches 11. The mounting notches 11 are used to mount the valve body 30. The valve body mounting sites in the plurality of mounting notches 11 are sequentially spaced along the second direction and are inclined in the first and second directions.

[0034] It should be noted that the valve body installation position refers to the position of the valve body 30 in the installation notch 11 when the valve body 30 is installed in the installation notch 11 .

[0035] In the valve body mounting structure 100 provided in the present application, when the side plate 20 is installed and connected to the valve seat 10 along the first direction, since the valve body mounting positions of the multiple mounting notches 11 are arranged in sequence along the second direction and are inclined in the first direction and the second direction, the multiple mounting notches 11 do not affect each other, thereby avoiding interference between the valve body 30 and the side plate 20 in the multiple mounting notches 11, reducing the difficulty of assembling the valve seat 10 and the side plate 20, and improving production efficiency.

[0036] It can be understood that the connection between the valve seat 10 and the side plate 20 is a detachable connection. The valve seat 10 can be installed and connected to the side plate 20 along a first direction, and can also be detached from the side plate 20 along a direction opposite to the first direction.

[0037] In some embodiments, a sealing plate portion 22 is provided on the side plate 20 . The sealing plate portion 22 is used to close the installation notch 11 to enclose and fix the valve body 30 .

[0038] In some embodiments, the openings of the multiple mounting notches 11 are located on the same side of the valve seat 10. Specifically, the openings of the multiple mounting notches 11 are located on the side of the valve seat 10 facing the sealing plate portion 22. Since the openings of the multiple mounting notches 11 are located on the same side of the valve seat 10, the sealing plate portion 22 is correspondingly located on the same side of the side plate 20, thereby avoiding the risk of interference with the valve body 30 caused by providing the sealing plate portion 22 on multiple sides.

[0039] In some embodiments, the plurality of mounting notches 11 are located on the same plane, which helps to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the valve seat 10 and is more conducive to sealing the mounting notches 11 to prevent insects and rodents from entering the interior of the side plate 20 through the mounting notches 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, the valve seat 10 includes a first sidewall 12 and a second sidewall 13 that are parallel to and opposite to each other in a first direction. The openings of the plurality of mounting notches 11 are formed in the second sidewall 13, and the valve body mounting locations of the plurality of mounting notches 11 are at different distances from the first sidewall 12. It will be understood that the second sidewall 13 is the sidewall proximal to the sealing plate portion 22, while the first sidewall 12 is the sidewall distal to the sealing plate portion 22. The valve body mounting locations of the plurality of mounting notches 11 are all at distances from the first sidewall 12 in the second direction. Since the first and second sidewalls 12 and 13 are arranged parallel to each other, the valve body mounting locations of the plurality of mounting notches 11 are at different distances from the first sidewall 12. In other words, the valve body mounting locations of the plurality of mounting notches 11 are at different distances from their corresponding openings in the second direction, thereby preventing interference with the valve body 30 and improving assembly efficiency of the valve seat 10 and the side plate 20.

[0041] In some embodiments, there are multiple valve bodies 30 , and the number of valve bodies 30 is equal to the number of installation notches 11 . The required number of valve bodies 30 can be opened according to actual needs.

[0042] In some embodiments, the plurality of mounting notches 11 have different diameters. It should be noted that the diameter of the mounting notch 11 refers to the inner diameter of the opening of the mounting notch 11. It is understood that the size of the valve body 30 varies, and the diameter of the mounting notch 11 can be adjusted based on the size of the valve body 30 to improve the stability of the fixing between the valve body 30 and the valve seat 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, the distances between the valve body mounting locations of the plurality of mounting notches 11 and the first side wall 12 increase sequentially along the first direction. In other words, the distances between the valve body mounting locations of the plurality of mounting notches 11 and the second side wall 13 decrease sequentially along the first direction. When the side plate 20 is mounted and connected to the valve seat 10 along the first direction, the valve body mounting locations of the mounting notches 11 with the smaller distances from the second side wall 13 are mounted and connected first.

[0044] In some embodiments, the width of the sealing plate portion 22 in the second direction decreases successively along the first direction, so that the sealing effect of the sealing plate portion 22 on the plurality of mounting notches 11 can be kept consistent.

[0045] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting notch 11 includes a first mounting notch 111 and a second mounting notch 112. The valve body 30 includes a first valve body 31 and a second valve body 32. The first valve body 31 is mounted at the valve body mounting position of the first mounting notch 111, and the second valve body 32 is mounted at the valve body mounting position of the second mounting notch 112. The diameter of the first mounting notch 111 is larger than the diameter of the second mounting notch 112. The valve body mounting positions of the first valve body 31 and the second valve body 32 are spaced apart along the second direction. The distance L1 between the valve body mounting position of the first valve body 31 and the first side wall 12 is smaller than the distance L2 between the valve body mounting position of the second valve body 32 and the first side wall 12. When the side plate 20 is mounted and connected to the valve seat 10 along the first direction, the first mounting notch 111 first enters the side plate 20, passes through the sealing plate portion 22 used to secure the second valve body 32, and then continues to move, being secured by the sealing plate portion 22. The second valve body 32 is then secured by the sealing plate portion 22. Since the distance between the first mounting notch 111 and the second side wall 13 is large, the first valve body 31 and the sealing plate portion 22 are prevented from interfering with each other, so that the sealing plate portion 22 can smoothly fix the second valve body 32, reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving the sealing effect of the first mounting notch 111 and the second mounting notch 112.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The side plate 20 includes a side plate body 21 and a sealing plate portion 22. A matching notch 211 recessed along a first direction is provided on the side plate body 21. The sealing plate portion 22 is formed on the side wall of the matching notch 211. When the valve seat 10 is installed and connected to the side plate 20 to enclose and fix the valve body 30, the valve body 30 is located in the matching notch 211.

[0047] In some embodiments, the side plate body 21 and the sealing plate portion 22 are integrally formed. This can reduce the number of components in the valve body mounting structure 100 , reduce assembly procedures, and also facilitate the sealing stability of the sealing plate portion 22 against the mounting notch 11 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the side plate body 21 is provided with a first sliding portion 212 extending along a first direction, and the valve seat 10 is provided with a second sliding portion 14 extending along the first direction. The first sliding portion 212 and the second sliding portion 14 are slidably connected to each other, so that the valve seat 10 is installed and connected to the side plate 20 along the first direction. The first sliding portion 212 is located on the side wall of the matching notch 211, and the second sliding portion 14 is located on the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 of the valve seat 10. The first sliding portion 212 and the second sliding portion 14 first abut to limit their positions, and then the first sliding portion 212 and the second sliding portion 14 are slidably connected along the first direction, thereby achieving pre-assembly and fixation of the side plate 20 and the valve seat 10.

[0049] In some embodiments, the side plate 20 is provided with a first assembly hole 213, and the valve seat 10 is provided with a second assembly hole 15. The valve body mounting structure 100 further includes a connector. When the valve seat 10 is mounted and connected to the side plate 20, the connector securely connects the first assembly hole 213 and the second assembly hole 15. When the first sliding portion 212 and the second sliding portion 14 slide until the bottom wall of the mating notch 211 abuts the top wall of the valve seat 10, the first assembly hole 213 and the second assembly hole 15 are aligned, and the connector passes through the first assembly hole 213 and the second assembly hole 15, thereby achieving a secure connection between the side plate 20 and the valve seat 10.

[0050] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner, which includes any one of the valve body mounting structures 100 described above.

[0051] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a valve body 30 . The valve body 30 is located in the installation notch 11 . The installation notch 11 and the sealing plate portion 22 jointly fix the valve body 30 .

[0052] It should be noted that when the valve seat 10, the side plate 20 and the valve body 30 are installed, in order to ensure the safety of the air conditioner pipeline, the valve body 30 is first connected to the pipeline, and then the valve body 30 and the valve seat 10 are assembled. During assembly, the valve body 30 is directly embedded along the installation notch 11, and then the valve seat 10 with the valve body 30 installed is assembled with the side plate 20. During the sliding process of the side plate 20 and the valve seat 10 along the first direction, the sealing plate portion 22 seals the installation gap between the valve body 30 and the installation notch 11 to prevent insects and rodents from entering the air conditioner through the gap and affecting the operation of the air conditioner.
