[0035] In the manufacturing of air-conditioning equipment, ensuring the thermal insulation performance of key components such as compressors and condensers is crucial for improving energy efficiency and extending service life. To achieve this, the industry generally adheres insulation materials such as foam to components. Currently, mainstream insulation material fixing technologies include adhesive bonding and screw fixing. However, the effectiveness of hot-melt adhesives is highly dependent on precise control of the timing and amount of adhesive applied. While screw fixing ensures reliable positioning of the foam, the assembly process is time-consuming, which undoubtedly increases labor costs. Both fixing methods are difficult to assemble and have low efficiency.

[0036] In order to solve the above problems, the present technical solution proposes a chassis assembly, comprising:

[0037] The air-conditioning chassis 100 is provided with a heat preservation area;

[0038] The heat preservation member 200 is provided in the heat preservation area; and

[0039] The thermal insulation component 200 is connected to the air conditioner chassis 100 through the clamping structure 300 .

[0040] In the technical solution of the present utility model, by setting a clamping structure 300, the thermal insulation component 200 can be clamped on the air-conditioning chassis 100 through the clamping structure 300, eliminating the steps of applying glue or screwing, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency between the thermal insulation component 200 and the air-conditioning chassis 100. Compared with applying glue or screwing, the clamping method is simpler to operate and reduces the difficulty of assembly; in addition, the thermal insulation component 200 can only be fixed at a specific position on the air-conditioning chassis 100 where the clamping structure 300 is set, which is also beneficial to ensuring the assembly accuracy of the thermal insulation component 200 and the air-conditioning chassis 100 after assembly.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the chassis assembly includes an air-conditioning chassis 100,

[0042] The air-conditioning chassis 100 is arranged at the bottom of the indoor unit and supported on the ground. The air-conditioning chassis 100 has a bottom wall arranged at the top, which can receive condensed water dripping from the air duct or evaporator and other components in the indoor unit; the bottom wall is also provided with an insulation area, which is used to lay insulation materials to insulate the indoor unit and prevent condensation. The chassis assembly also includes an insulation part 200, which can be a sheet or block structure made of a material with good insulation performance such as foam. The insulation part 200 is provided with a heat preservation area. It is placed in the insulation area to insulate the insulation area; in order to facilitate the assembly of the insulation component 200 on the air-conditioning chassis 100, the chassis assembly also includes a clamping structure 300, and the insulation component 200 can be fixed to the air-conditioning chassis 100 through the clamping structure 300. In this way, compared with the method of using glue or screws, during assembly, the insulation component 200 only needs to press the clamping structure 300 to fix the insulation component 200 to the air-conditioning chassis 100, which reduces the difficulty of assembly and improves the efficiency of assembly.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, a positioning groove 110 is provided in the heat preservation area, and the heat preservation component 200 is adapted to be embedded in the positioning groove 110 . In this embodiment, the insulation area can be set at the corner position of the chassis and correspond to the position where the roller is installed on the chassis. The insulation part 200 is set here to prevent condensation from forming on the roller and the chassis; in addition, the periphery of the insulation area can be provided with a rib and enclosed to form a positioning groove 110, and the rib can prevent condensation water from other areas of the chassis from flowing into the insulation area; in addition, the outer dimensions of the insulation part 200 can be adapted to the positioning groove 110, so that the insulation part 200 can be embedded in the positioning groove 110 and be clamped and fixed with the clamping structure 300 set in the positioning groove 110. With this arrangement, the inner wall of the positioning groove 110 can provide support and limit for the insulation part 200 on the one hand, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the insulation part 200. In addition, during assembly, the insulation part 200 only needs to be directly inserted into the positioning groove 110 and installed to be assembled in place without the need for tedious positioning. This can also further improve the assembly efficiency of the insulation part 200 and the air-conditioning chassis 100 and reduce labor costs.

[0044] like Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping structure 300 includes:

[0045] The buckle 310 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 110; and

[0046] The slot 320 is provided on the outer wall of the thermal insulation component 200 , and the buckle 310 is engaged with the slot 320 .

[0047] In this embodiment, a buckle 310 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 110, and the buckle 310 can be integrally formed with the chassis. In addition, a slot 320 matching the buckle 310 is provided on the outer wall of the thermal insulation component 200. During assembly, the thermal insulation component 200 is embedded in the positioning groove 110. At this time, the buckle 310 is engaged with the slot 320, and the buckle 310 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 110 cooperate to clamp the thermal insulation component 200. In addition, the cooperation between the buckle 310 and the slot 320 can prevent the thermal insulation component 200 from detaching from the positioning groove 110, so that the thermal insulation component 200 can be fixed more firmly in the positioning groove 110; in addition, it is conceivable that the buckle 310 is provided on the outer wall of the thermal insulation component 200, and the buckle 310 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 110 to achieve the above-mentioned effect, which is not limited here.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the buckle 310 is configured as an elastic buckle 310. The buckle 310 is made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity. During assembly, the thermal insulation member 200 is inserted into the positioning groove 110. At this time, the outer wall of the thermal insulation member 200 squeezes the buckle 310 to deform it so that the thermal insulation member 200 can be further inserted. When the slot 320 reaches a position opposite to the buckle 310, the buckle 310 recovers its deformation and snaps into the slot 320, thereby limiting the position of the thermal insulation member 200. When the thermal insulation member 200 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to compress the buckle 310 to disengage it from the slot 320, and then the thermal insulation member 200 can be removed in a direction opposite to the insertion direction. This not only facilitates the installation of the thermal insulation member 200, but also facilitates the removal of the thermal insulation member 200.

[0049] like Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the groove wall of the positioning groove 110 is provided with an avoidance opening 120 that is set through, and the elastic clip 310 includes an elastic arm 311 connected to the upper edge of the avoidance opening 120 and a buckle portion 312 provided on the inner side of the lower end of the elastic arm 311. In this embodiment, the groove wall of the positioning groove 110 is provided with an avoidance opening 120, and the avoidance opening 120 passes through the positioning groove 110. The elastic clip 310 can be set in the avoidance opening 120, and the elastic clip 310 has an elastic arm 311. The upper end of the elastic arm 311 is connected to the upper edge of the avoidance opening 120, and the lower end of the elastic arm 311 is provided with a buckle 312 toward the inner side of the positioning groove 110. The elastic arm 311 can be elastically bent, and the buckle 312 can be clamped and fixed with the slot 320; in this solution, the avoidance opening 120 is provided to accommodate the elastic clip 310, so that there is no need to open a notch on the insulation component 200 to avoid the elastic clip 310, which can simplify the structure of the insulation component 200. In addition, it can also make the insulation component 200 fit more closely with the inner wall of the positioning groove 110, which is conducive to further improving the assembly accuracy.

[0050] In such Figure 5In one embodiment of the present invention, a guide bevel 313 is provided on the upper side of the buckle portion 312. During assembly, the edge of the bottom end of the thermal insulation component 200 can abut against the guide bevel 313. By applying a force to the guide bevel 313, the elastic buckle 310 is bent, making it easier for the thermal insulation component 200 to be installed in the positioning groove 110. In addition, Figure 5 In another embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the slot 320 passes through the upper surface of the thermal insulation component 200, which can simplify the structure of the slot 320 and reduce the structural complexity and manufacturing difficulty of the thermal insulation component 200 and the mold used to process the thermal insulation component 200.

[0051] like Figure 5 The cam 320 is a unit that is configured to be mounted on a cam 321 and has a plurality of slots 320 that are configured to be mounted on the cam 321. The cam 320 is a unit that is configured to be mounted on a cam 321 and has a plurality of slots 320 that are configured to be mounted on the cam 321.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, a reinforcing rib 130 is provided on the bottom wall of the positioning groove 110, and a groove 210 is provided on the bottom wall of the thermal insulation member 200. The reinforcing rib 130 and the groove 210 are interference fit. In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 130 is vertically arranged, and the reinforcing rib 130 connects the side wall and the bottom wall of the positioning groove 110, which can improve the structural strength of the chassis in the positioning groove 110. In addition, a groove 210 adapted to the reinforcing rib 130 can be provided on the bottom of the thermal insulation member 200. During assembly, the reinforcing rib 130 can be embedded in the groove 210 and form an interference fit with the groove 210, which can further improve the reliability of the connection between the thermal insulation member 200 and the chassis, and at the same time, the reinforcing rib 130 and the groove can be used to strengthen the chassis. The limit between 210 limits the movement of the insulation component 200, ensuring that the insulation component 200 is stably positioned in the positioning groove 110; in addition, the shape and size of the bottom of the insulation component 200 can be adapted to the shape and size of the positioning groove 110. During assembly, the bottom of the insulation component 200 can be embedded in the positioning groove 110 and form an interference fit with the positioning groove 110. This not only prevents the formation of a gap between the insulation component 200 and the positioning groove 110, which leads to the retention of condensed water, but also makes the insulation component 200 and the chassis assembled more firmly.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the material of the thermal insulation component 200 is configured as foam; the material of the thermal insulation component 200 is configured as foam, so that while achieving thermal insulation, it also achieves the effect of waterproofing the positioning groove 110. In addition, due to the lightweight and low-cost characteristics of foam, it can also reduce the load of the air-conditioning chassis 100 and reduce the production cost of the air-conditioning.

[0054] The present invention also proposes an air conditioner, including the above-mentioned chassis assembly. The specific structure of the chassis assembly refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0055] In one embodiment, the air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, and the indoor unit is provided with the above-mentioned chassis assembly. In addition, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are connected by a flexible refrigerant pipe, and the flexible refrigerant pipe is pre-filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit can be pre-filled with refrigerant at the factory stage. During installation, it is only necessary to fix the indoor unit and the outdoor unit separately without assembling the refrigerant pipe and filling the refrigerant, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and enabling personal installation by users. In addition, the use of a flexible refrigerant pipe also allows a certain relative displacement of the pipeline between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, and can also ensure the airtightness of the pipeline to prevent leakage of the refrigerant; in addition, in another embodiment, the compressor can be provided on the indoor unit to reduce the weight of the outdoor unit, thereby facilitating the installation of the outdoor unit; in addition, the compressor on the indoor unit can be provided with a noise reduction structure to reduce the working noise of the indoor unit to enhance the user experience.
