[0032] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0035] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning 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. 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 the present invention.
[0036] The present invention proposes a chassis assembly for an air conditioner, which also includes an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit. The chassis assembly is arranged on the air conditioner indoor unit. The air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install individually. The flexible refrigerant pipe connects the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. In this way, when the user installs the equipment by themselves, they only need to fix the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit separately, without the need to assemble the flexible refrigerant pipe and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and enabling personal installation by the user. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of the present invention can also be an ordinary split-type air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner.
[0037] Furthermore, this split-type air conditioner, designed for user-friendly installation, can have its compressor installed inside the indoor unit, reducing the weight of the outdoor unit and facilitating its installation outdoors. Accordingly, to reduce compressor noise, a noise-reducing mechanism is required. This results in a heavier overall weight for the indoor unit. To facilitate installation, the indoor unit can be floor-standing, with wheels 30 installed at its base to facilitate installation and movement.
[0038] The air conditioner also includes a casing. Since the flexible refrigerant pipe generally has two to form a refrigerant circuit, the two flexible refrigerant pipes are both inserted into the casing, so that the two flexible refrigerant pipes form a whole, further reducing the difficulty of installation and facilitating individual installation by the user. The casing can also be configured as a wire structure, which is wrapped around the outer circumference of the flexible refrigerant pipe to form the casing.
[0039] See also Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the chassis assembly includes:
[0040] The chassis 10 is provided with a water storage area 101 and a wire holding area 102 which are separated from each other, and the wire holding area 102 is located on the side of the water storage area 101 close to the edge of the chassis 10, and the wire holding area 102 is provided with a wire holding structure, which is used to fix the power cord 20, and the wire holding area 102 is provided with a wire outlet position at the edge of the chassis 10.
[0041] Specifically, the air conditioner indoor unit is also equipped with an electrical control box. One end of the power cord 20 is electrically connected to the electrical control box, and the other end extends out of the air conditioner indoor unit to be electrically connected to an external power source. Furthermore, the power cord 20 is typically routed through the chassis 10 and then extends out through the bottom of the air conditioner indoor unit. Therefore, the chassis 10 is provided with a cable retaining area 102 for routing the power cord 20. The cable retaining area 102 is provided with a cable retaining structure to secure the power cord 20 and reduce the possibility of the power cord 20 swinging within the air conditioner indoor unit. The cable retaining area 102 is located near the edge of the chassis 10 and has a cable outlet at the edge of the chassis 10, thereby reducing the possibility of the power cord 20's routing path interfering with other components of the air conditioner indoor unit. Furthermore, the power cord 20 extends along the housing 40 of the air conditioner indoor unit, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the power cord 20. The water storage area 101 is used to receive the condensed water generated by the indoor heat exchange in the air conditioner indoor unit, and the wire clamping area 102 is separated from the water storage area 101, which helps to achieve water and electricity separation, reduce the possibility of short circuit caused by accidental breakage of the power cord 20, and improve the electrical safety of the air conditioner.
[0042] The water storage area 101 and the line holding area 102 may be separated by a partition plate, or by providing a water storage tank in the water storage area 101 to achieve separation of the water storage area 101 and the line holding area 102 .
[0043] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the wire-holding structure includes a wire-holding portion 11 provided in the wire-holding area 102, and a first wire-holding notch 111 is provided on the wire-holding portion 11. The first wire-holding notch 111 is used for the power cord 20 to be clamped in. Specifically, the opening of the first wire-holding notch 111 is arranged upward, so that the power cord 20 can be easily clamped into the first wire-holding notch 111, thereby facilitating the fixation of the power cord 20. The wire-holding portion 11 can be configured as a structural rib provided on the chassis 10. The wire-holding portion 11 is integrally formed with the chassis 10, thereby facilitating the assembly of the chassis assembly and ensuring the installation stability of the power cord 20. In other embodiments, the wire-holding portion 11 can also be bonded or clamped to the chassis 10.
[0044] For further information, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7The wire clamping portion 11 is further provided with a limiting groove 112, and a corresponding limiting portion 21 is provided on the power cord 20. The limiting portion 21 is inserted into the limiting groove 112 to prevent the power cord 20 from sliding axially relative to the wire clamping portion 11. First wire clamping notches 111 are provided on opposite sides of the limiting groove 112. Specifically, the first wire clamping notches 111 can limit the power cord 20 along the circumference of the power cord 20. However, during daily use, the power cord 20 may be accidentally pulled, thereby affecting the installation stability of the power cord 20, and may even damage the electrical connection between the power cord 20 and the electric control box, or force the electric control box to shift. Therefore, a limiting groove 112 is formed on the wire clamping portion 11, and a corresponding limiting portion 21 is provided on the power cord 20. The limiting portion 21 is inserted into the limiting groove 112, thereby limiting the axial sliding of the power cord 20 relative to the wire clamping portion 11. The first wire-gripping notches 111 are provided on opposite sides of the limiting groove 112. That is, when the limiting portion 21 is inserted into the limiting groove 112, the power cord segments at opposite ends of the limiting portion 21 are engaged with the first wire-gripping notches 111, thereby preventing the power cord 20 from sliding axially relative to the wire-gripping portion 11 and reducing the possibility of the power cord 20 accidentally escaping from the first wire-gripping notches 111.
[0045] In other embodiments, the wire-holding portion 11 is configured as a baffle plate, the first wire-holding notch 111 is provided on the baffle plate, and a corresponding limiting portion 21 is provided on the power cord 20. The limiting portion 21 abuts against the side of the baffle plate away from the wire outlet position, thereby preventing the power cord 20 from sliding axially relative to the wire-holding portion 11.
[0046] Furthermore, the corners of the opening of the first cable-holding notch 111 are rounded. Specifically, if the corners of the first cable-holding notch 111 were sharp, the power cord 20 would be more likely to be scratched by the corners when it swings relative to the first cable-holding notch 111 during use, causing the cord to break and affecting the safe use of the air conditioner. This is especially true at the opening of the first cable-holding notch 111. Therefore, the corners of the opening of the first cable-holding notch 111 are rounded, that is, the two first corners 1111 on opposite sides of the opening of the first cable-holding notch 111 are rounded, thereby reducing the possibility of scratching the power cord 20.
[0047] In order to improve the compatibility between the first wire clamping notch 111 and the power cord 20, the cross-sectional shape of the first wire clamping notch 111 is roughly equal to the cross-sectional shape of the power cord 20. Therefore, the interior of the first wire clamping notch 111 is arranged in an arc shape, and the first wire clamping notch 111 is arranged in a "U" shape or a semicircular shape.
[0048] To further restrict the power line 20 from being routed on the chassis 10, in the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The periphery of the chassis 10 has a side wall 103, and the wire clamping structure also includes a mounting groove 12 extending along the side wall 103. The mounting groove 12 is used for the power cord 20 to pass through, and the mounting groove 12 is provided on the side of the wire clamping portion 11 away from the outlet. Specifically, the chassis 10 is also provided with a mounting groove 12, which is conducive to organizing the routing path of the power cord 20, so as to control the direction of the power cord 20, so as to facilitate the layout of the line and enrich the function of the chassis 10. In addition, the mounting groove 12 extends along the side wall 103. In this way, the routing of the power cord 20 will not be too complicated, which facilitates the installation of the power cord 20 in the mounting groove 12, and can also reduce the area occupied by the power cord 20 on the bottom of the chassis 10, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the air conditioner.
[0049] Furthermore, the mounting slot 12 includes a first section 121, a second section 122, and a third section 123, which are sequentially connected along the length of the tray sidewall 103. The first section 121 extends along the length of the tray sidewall 103, the second section 122 is inclined upward, and the third section 123 extends upward. Specifically, the power cord 20 is connected to the electrical components (electrical control box) above the chassis 10, and the power supply needs to extend upward. To this end, the mounting slot 12 includes the first section 121, the second section 122, and the third section 123, which are sequentially connected along the length of the first tray sidewall 103. The first section 121 extends along the length of the first tray sidewall 103, the second section 122 is inclined upward, and the third section 123 extends upward. In this way, the second section 122 plays a transition role, preventing the transition between the pipes or lines located in the first section 121 and the third section 123 from being too abrupt, thereby preventing the pipes or lines located between the first section 121 and the third section 123 from being bent too much, thereby preventing the power cord 20 from being damaged quickly and increasing the service life of the power cord 20.
[0050] However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the second section 122 is arc-shaped, and the center of the second section 122 is higher than the first section 121. In this way, the second section 122 transitions more smoothly, avoiding an abrupt transition between the pipes or lines located between the first section 121 and the third section 123, thereby avoiding excessive bending of the pipes or lines located between the first section 121 and the third section 123.
[0051] In one embodiment, the angle between the second section 122 and the horizontal plane is in the range of 30° to 60°. In this way, the transition between the pipes or lines of the first section 121 and the third section 123 is prevented from being too abrupt, thereby preventing the pipes or lines between the first section 121 and the third section 123 from being too bent. Furthermore, the angle between the second section 122 and the horizontal plane is in the range of 40° to 50°. In this way, the transition between the pipes or lines of the first section 121 and the third section 123 is prevented from being too abrupt, thereby preventing the pipes or lines between the first section 121 and the third section 123 from being too bent, thereby preventing the power cord 20 from being damaged quickly, thereby increasing the service life of the water pipe or power cord 20.
[0052] To prevent the power cord 20 from accidentally falling out of the mounting slot 12, in an embodiment of the present invention, at least the third section 123 is provided with a cord-binding portion 124 at the opening of the mounting slot 12. The cord-binding portion 124 can restrict the power cord 20 from falling out of the mounting slot 12 in the depth direction of the mounting slot 12, thereby facilitating a secure installation of the power cord 20.
[0053] The cord-collecting portion 124 can be provided only in the third section 123, in the first section 121 and the third section 123, or in the first section 121 and the second section 122. In one embodiment, the cord-collecting portion 124 is provided in both the first section 121 and the third section 123. In this way, both the first and last sections of the mounting slot 12 can prevent the power cord 20 from escaping the mounting slot 12 along the depth direction of the mounting slot 12, thereby ensuring that the power cord 20 is securely installed.
[0054] Furthermore, the mounting groove 12 is provided on the outer surface of the tray sidewall 103. This fully utilizes the space within the tray sidewall 103. It is worth noting that, in one embodiment, when the chassis 10 is used in an air conditioner, the air conditioner housing 40 is mounted on the chassis 10, with the inner surface of the air conditioner housing 40 facing the mounting groove 12. The air conditioner utilizes the housing 40 to position the power cord 20 in the depth direction of the mounting groove 12.
[0055] Since the installation slot 12 and the line clamping portion 11 are spaced apart, in order to ensure the fixing stability of the power line 20 between the installation slot 12 and the line clamping portion 11, in the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A limiting buckle 13 is further provided between the installation groove 12 and the wire clamping portion 11. The limiting buckle 13 is engaged with the power cord 20 and is disposed close to the wire clamping portion 11. The limiting buckle 13 can further secure the power cord 20 and ensure the installation of the power cord 20. The positioning of the limiting buckle 13 close to the wire clamping portion 11 can further reduce the possibility of the power cord 20 being separated from the first wire clamping notch 111.
[0056] In order to ensure the stability of the power line 20, in the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The chassis 10 has a sidewall 103 around its periphery. The cable outlet includes a second cable-holding notch 14 provided on the sidewall 103. The corners of the opening of the second cable-holding notch 14 are rounded. Specifically, the power cord 20 extends beyond the edge of the chassis 10, so the second cable-holding notch 14 is provided at the cable outlet to further secure the power cord 20 and ensure its stability. Furthermore, the rounded corners of the opening of the second cable-holding notch 14, namely, the two first corners 141 on opposite sides of the opening of the second cable-holding notch 14, further reduce the possibility of scratches on the power cord 20. Furthermore, the provision of the second cable-holding notch 14 helps reduce the height of the power cord 20 at its outlet.
[0057] In order to improve the compatibility between the second wire clamping notch 14 and the power cord 20, the cross-sectional shape of the second wire clamping notch 14 is roughly the same as the cross-sectional shape of the power cord 20. Therefore, the interior of the second wire clamping notch 14 is arranged in an arc shape, and the second wire clamping notch 14 is arranged in a "U" shape or a semicircular shape.
[0058] In one embodiment, the chassis assembly further includes a drainage pump and a drainage pipe 15. A pipe outlet 104 is provided on the chassis 10. The drainage pump is fixed to a side of the water storage area 101 away from the line-holding area 102, and a pipe outlet path 105 extending toward the pipe outlet 104 is provided on a side of the water storage area 101 away from the line-holding area 102.
[0059] Specifically, the drain pipe 15 is used to drain condensed water from the air conditioner's indoor unit. In this embodiment, the drain pipe 15 connects the indoor and outdoor units, draining condensed water from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. This facilitates the selection of the condensed water discharge location and method. The condensed water can also drip onto the outdoor heat exchanger, further cooling it and promoting its volatilization. To facilitate the drainage of condensed water from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit, a water pump is provided on the chassis 10 to pump the condensed water from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. The drain pump is fixed to the side of the water storage area 101 away from the cable retention area 102, and the outlet pipe path 105 is also located on the side of the water storage area 101 away from the cable retention area 102. This prevents the outlet pipe path 105 from overlapping the power cable 20 path and prevents the drain pipe 15 from passing through the cable retention area 102. This further improves the separation of water and electricity, enhancing the safety of the air conditioner.
[0060] The drain pipe 15 can also be directly connected to the outdoors, allowing condensed water from the air conditioner's indoor unit to be directly discharged outdoors. When the drain pipe 15 connects the indoor and outdoor units, it can be installed simultaneously with the flexible refrigerant pipe through the casing, thereby forming a single unit connecting the indoor and outdoor units, facilitating installation of the air conditioner.
[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, the chassis 10 is made of plastic. Compared with metal materials, plastic materials are lighter in weight, which helps to increase the weight of the air conditioner. On the other hand, water easily accumulates on the chassis assembly, and plastic materials will not rust or corrode, which helps to increase the service life of the air conditioner and electrical safety.
[0062] The present invention also provides an air conditioner comprising an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and a chassis assembly. The specific structure of the chassis assembly is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiments. Since the present air conditioner utilizes all of the technical solutions of all of the aforementioned embodiments, it possesses at least all of the beneficial effects provided by the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, and therefore, no further description is given herein. The chassis assembly is disposed within the indoor unit, and the indoor unit is provided with a power cord 20, one end of which extends from the chassis assembly to the indoor unit.
[0063] To further facilitate the storage of the power cord 20, a storage structure 41 is provided on the outside of the air conditioner indoor unit's casing 40. This storage structure 41 is capable of storing the power cord 20 extending from the air conditioner indoor unit. Specifically, when the air conditioner does not need to be electrically connected to an external power source (such as for cleaning, moving, or installation), the portion of the power cord 20 extending into the air conditioner indoor unit is prone to accidental pulling if it is not stored. Therefore, the storage structure 41 is provided. The storage structure 41 can store the power cord 20 extending from the air conditioner outdoor unit, thereby reducing power cord 20 clutter. The storage structure 41 is provided on the casing 40, and preferably, the storage structure 41 is located near the cable outlet, or is located on the same side of the casing 40 as the cable outlet, thereby facilitating the nearby storage of the power cord 20.
[0064] Furthermore, the storage structure 41 includes a winding portion and a plug interface 42 provided on one side of the winding portion. The winding portion can be wound up and extended out of the power cord 20 of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the plug interface 42 is used for plugging in the plug connector at the end of the power cord 20. Specifically, the winding portion can be wound up and extended out of the air conditioner indoor unit, thereby facilitating the storage of the power cord 20. The plug interface 42 is provided close to the winding portion, thereby facilitating the plug connector at the end of the power cord 20, thereby facilitating the use and removal of the power cord 20. The winding portion can be detachably mounted on the housing 40, such as being fixed to the housing 40 by snapping or screwing, or the winding portion and the housing 40 can be integrally formed. A blocking edge is provided on the edge of the winding portion away from the housing 40 to prevent the power cord 20 from accidentally detaching from the winding portion.
[0065] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
