Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a vertical air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, air conditioners are widely used. At present, commonly used air conditioners include wall-mounted air conditioners and vertical air conditioners. Among them, vertical air conditioners are widely used because of their wide air supply range and large air supply volume.

[0003] However, existing vertical air conditioners have too many components, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a vertical air conditioner to solve the technical problem that the existing vertical air conditioner has too many components and thus has low assembly efficiency.

[0005] The utility model provides a vertical air conditioner, comprising a casing and an air drive assembly arranged inside the casing, the casing being provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the air drive assembly being used to allow air to enter through the air inlet and be sent out from the air outlet; the casing comprising a top cover and a base arranged opposite to and spaced apart in the up-down direction, a left side panel and a right side panel arranged opposite to and spaced apart in the left-right direction, and a front panel and a rear panel arranged opposite to and spaced apart in the front-back direction, the top cover, the left side panel, the right side panel and the rear panel being an integrally formed structure.

[0006] During operation, the air-displacing assembly of the vertical air conditioner draws air in through the air inlet and delivers it through the air outlet, thereby delivering air to the room. By integrating the top cover, left side panel, right side panel, and rear panel into an integrated structure, the number of components is reduced, improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the structural strength of the housing is increased, thereby extending the service life of the housing.

[0007] Furthermore, the top cover, the left side panel, the right side panel, and the rear panel are integrally formed with the base. This arrangement not only further reduces the number of parts and improves assembly efficiency, but also ensures the structural reliability of the connection between the left side panel, the right side panel, and the rear panel and the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the joints between the left, right, and rear panels and the roof are all rounded, and the joints between the left and right panels and the rear panel are all rounded. This arrangement, on the one hand, reduces stress concentration at the joints between the left, right, and rear panels and the roof, ensuring structural strength at these joints. It also facilitates air inflow during demolding, eliminating negative pressure and improving demolding efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, the rear panel is provided with a mounting bracket, and the evaporator of the vertical air conditioner is mounted on the mounting bracket, with the evaporator being located between the air drive assembly and the rear panel. By integrating the mounting bracket for the evaporator into the rear panel, the number of parts can be reduced while still ensuring the evaporator is securely mounted, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the rear panel is provided with a water collection pan, which is located below the evaporator. By integrating the water collection pan into the rear panel, the rear panel not only covers the rear of the housing, directs airflow into the housing, and houses the evaporator, but also serves as a water collection panel. This further reduces the number of components that make up the vertical air conditioner and improves assembly efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the left side panel, the right side panel, and the rear panel are all provided with reinforcing ribs on their sides facing the interior of the housing, which effectively improves the structural strength of the left side panel, the right side panel, and the rear panel, thereby extending the service life of the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the top cover is provided with a reinforcement strip extending in the left-right direction and formed by a portion of the top cover being recessed toward the interior of the housing. This arrangement increases the structural strength of the top cover and prolongs its service life.

[0013] Furthermore, the plurality of air outlets are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the wind drive assembly is provided at the location of each air outlet. By providing a plurality of air outlets and arranging them at intervals in the vertical direction, the structural strength of the front panel can be improved while ensuring the air output volume, and the air outlet area of ​​the vertical air conditioner can be increased, thereby ensuring the air supply effect.

[0014] Furthermore, the wind drive assembly includes a drive motor and a wind drive impeller. The drive motor body is fixedly arranged relative to the housing, the motor shaft of the drive motor extends toward the rear panel, and the wind drive impeller is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft of the drive motor and faces the air outlet. This axial flow air outlet method can reduce the size of the vertical air conditioner in the front-to-back direction, making the vertical air conditioner thinner.

[0015] Furthermore, the air outlet is equipped with an air outlet grille, which can correct the wind during the air outlet process and increase the effective area of ​​the air conditioning air. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following describes in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the vertical air conditioner provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a vertical air conditioner, including a housing 100 and a wind driving assembly 200 disposed inside the housing 100, and the housing 100 is provided with an air inlet 161 ( Figure 1 (not shown) and the air outlet 151, the wind driving component 200 is used to allow the air flow to enter through the air inlet 161 and be sent out from the air outlet 151.

[0024] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the housing 100 of the vertical air conditioner provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 2 Specifically, the casing 100 includes a top cover 110 and a base 120 that are opposite and spaced apart in the up-down direction, a left side panel 130 and a right side panel 140 that are opposite and spaced apart in the left-right direction, and a front panel 150 and a rear panel 160 that are opposite and spaced apart in the front-back direction, wherein the top cover 110, the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 are an integrally molded structure.

[0025] During operation of the vertical air conditioner, the air drive assembly 200 operates to draw air in through the air inlet 161 and further deliver it through the air outlet 151, thereby delivering air to the room. By forming the top cover 110, the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140, and the rear panel 160 into an integrated structure, the number of parts can be reduced, improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the structural strength of the housing 100 can be increased, thereby extending the service life of the housing 100.

[0026] It should be noted that, generally speaking, the side of a floor-standing air conditioner that faces the indoor space or the indoor user activity area is the front side of the floor-standing air conditioner; and the side of the floor-standing air conditioner that faces the corner or the wall is its rear side. Specifically in this embodiment, the "up and down direction" of the floor-standing air conditioner can be determined by Figure 1 and Figure 2 The arrows ab in the figure represent the left and right directions of the vertical air conditioner. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The arrow cd in the figure indicates that the "front and back direction" of the vertical air conditioner can be represented by Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is represented by the arrow ef in the figure.

[0027] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the top cover 110 , the left side panel 130 , the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 are also integrally formed with the base 120 .

[0028] By setting the base 120 and the top cover 110, the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 as an integrally molded structure, during the manufacturing process of the casing 100, the top cover 110, the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140, the rear panel 160 and the base 120 can be manufactured together, which not only further reduces the number of parts and improves assembly efficiency, but also ensures the structural reliability of the connection parts between the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 and the base 120.

[0029] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the air inlet 161 is provided on the rear panel 160, and the air outlet 151 is provided on the front panel 150. In other words, the vertical air conditioner has a rear air inlet and a front air outlet structure.

[0030] Through the above arrangement, not only a sufficient air inlet area and air supply volume are guaranteed, but also the airflow can fully exchange heat after entering the interior of the housing 100 .

[0031] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the air inlet 161 is mainly located in the upper half of the rear panel 160 , and the air outlet 151 is mainly located in the upper half of the front panel 150 .

[0032] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the joints between the left side panel 130 , the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 and the top cover 110 are all rounded transitions, and the joints between the left side panel 130 , the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 are all rounded transitions.

[0033] Through the above arrangement, on the one hand, the stress concentration at the connection parts between the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 and the top cover 110 can be reduced, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the connection parts between the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 and the top cover 110. On the other hand, during the demolding process, it is also conducive to the entry of air to eliminate negative pressure, thereby improving the demolding efficiency.

[0034] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, a mounting bracket 162 may be provided on the rear panel 160 , wherein the evaporator of the vertical air conditioner is mounted on the mounting bracket 162 , and the evaporator is located between the wind drive assembly 200 and the rear panel 160 .

[0035] When the stand-mounted air conditioner operates in cooling mode, air is drawn in through air inlet 161 by air drive assembly 200. After heat exchange with the evaporator, air is delivered through air outlet 151 provided on front panel 150, cooling the indoor environment. By providing mounting bracket 162 for the evaporator on the side of rear panel 160 facing the interior of casing 100, the evaporator can be mounted securely while reducing component count and improving assembly efficiency.

[0036] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, a water receiving tray 163 may be further provided on the rear panel 160 , wherein the water receiving tray 163 is located below the evaporator.

[0037] The provision of the water collection pan 163 allows for the centralized collection of condensed water, effectively preventing the uncontrolled flow of condensed water from interfering with the normal operation of components within the casing 100 and contaminating the interior of the casing 100. Furthermore, by integrating the water collection pan 163 with the rear panel 160, the rear panel 160, in addition to covering the rear of the casing 100, directing airflow into the casing 100, and housing the evaporator, also serves as a water collection function. This further reduces the number of components comprising the vertical air conditioner and improves assembly efficiency.

[0038] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the left side panel 130 , the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 are all provided with reinforcing ribs 170 on their surfaces facing the interior of the casing 100 .

[0039] By providing reinforcing ribs 170 on the sides of the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 facing the interior of the casing 100, the structural strength of the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160 is effectively improved, thereby extending the service life of the casing 100.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 170 are mainly provided on the lower half of the left side panel 130, the right side panel 140 and the rear panel 160. This arrangement can reduce the obstruction of the air intake and outlet process, ensuring smooth air intake and outlet.

[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the top cover 110 is provided with a reinforcement strip 111 , wherein the reinforcement strip 111 extends in the left-right direction and is formed by a portion of the top cover 110 being recessed toward the interior of the housing 100 .

[0042] The provision of the reinforcement strip 111 increases the structural strength of the top cover 110 and prolongs the service life of the top cover 110 .

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two reinforcement bars 111 , and the two reinforcement bars 111 are arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction.

[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, there are two air outlets 151 , which are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and a wind driving component 200 is provided at the position of each air outlet 151 .

[0045] By providing two air outlets 151 and spacing them vertically, the structural strength of the front panel 150 is improved while ensuring sufficient airflow. Furthermore, the vertical air outlet area of ​​the stand-type air conditioner is increased, ensuring effective air delivery. Furthermore, the provision of two air outlets 151 prevents the stand-type air conditioner from being too high, thereby reducing the risk of tipping over.

[0046] In other embodiments, the air outlets 151 may be provided in other numbers or arrangements. This embodiment is merely described by taking as an example that there are two air outlets 151 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction.

[0047] Specifically, the wind-driving assembly 200 may include a driving motor and a wind-driving impeller, wherein the body of the driving motor is fixedly arranged relative to the casing 100, the motor shaft of the driving motor extends toward the rear panel 160, and the wind-driving impeller is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft of the driving motor, and the wind-driving impeller is opposite to the air outlet 151.

[0048] When the vertical air conditioner is in operation, the drive motor starts, driving the impeller to rotate. This causes air to enter through the air inlet 161 provided on the rear panel 160, exchange heat with the evaporator, and then be discharged through the air outlet 151 provided on the front panel 150, thereby cooling the indoor space. This axial flow air outlet method can reduce the vertical air conditioner's dimensions in the front-to-back direction, making the vertical air conditioner thinner.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the air outlet 151 is equipped with an air outlet grille 180 .

[0050] By installing the air outlet grille 180 at the air outlet 151, it can play a role in rectifying the wind during the air outlet process, so as to increase the effective area of ​​the air conditioning wind.
