DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
[0032] The first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pipe valve mounting bracket 204, referring to Figures 1 to 5 The utility model comprises a main body 10 and a plurality of pipe and valve installation grooves 20. The plurality of pipe and valve installation grooves 20 are formed on the main body 10 and are used for positioning and installing different types of pipe and valves 203 (such as stop valves). The edges of the openings of the plurality of pipe and valve installation grooves 20 can be located at different heights.
[0033] In the above embodiment, the openings of the plurality of pipe and valve mounting grooves 20 are arranged to face downward. The main body 10 of the pipe and valve mounting bracket 204 can be moved up and down along the height direction, and the valve opening of the pipe and valve 203 can be slid into the interior of the pipe and valve mounting groove 20 when the main body 10 moves downward to fix the pipe and valve 203 to the main body 10 of the pipe and valve mounting bracket 204, or the valve opening of the pipe and valve 203 can be disengaged from the interior of the pipe and valve mounting groove 20 when the main body 10 moves upward to separate the two. The positioning and installation between the two are simple and convenient.
[0034] At the same time, the openings of the multiple pipe and valve mounting slots 20 have edges of different heights, which can be used to accommodate pipes and valves 203 of different sizes. For example, a pipe and valve mounting slot 20 with a relatively high edge in the height direction can be used to assemble a small hydraulic pipe and valve 203, while a pipe and valve mounting slot 20 with a relatively low edge in the height direction can be used to assemble a large pneumatic pipe and valve 203. The disclosed embodiment does not specifically limit the types of pipes and valves 203 that can be installed in the multiple pipe and valve mounting slots 20. If there is a certain height difference between the multiple pipes and valves 203 formed in the pipeline design, the pipe and valve 203 that needs to be installed at a higher position can be installed in the relatively high pipe and valve mounting slot 20, and similarly, the pipe and valve 203 that needs to be installed at a relatively low position can be installed in the lower pipe and valve mounting slot 20. This optimizes the internal installation space of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, saves space, and prevents the pipe and valve mounting bracket 204 from interfering with different pipelines, thereby affecting the assembly and positioning of the pipelines.
[0035] It should be noted that the height direction mentioned above refers to the vertical height direction of the pipe valve mounting bracket 204 during actual installation and use. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the up and down directions in the figure are the height directions.
[0036] By providing multiple pipe and valve mounting slots 20 with varying notch edge heights on the pipe and valve mounting bracket 204, adaptable mounting can be performed with pipes and valves 203 of varying sizes, ensuring that each pipe and valve 203 does not interfere with the other. This effectively utilizes the internal space of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 while ensuring the secure positioning of the pipe and valve 203, saving space. Furthermore, the multiple pipe and valve mounting slots 20 are positioned with their openings facing downward, allowing the bracket to be assembled, connected, or separated from the pipe and valve 203 by moving the bracket vertically. This prevents damage from collisions with components such as the valve body, pipelines, or the compressor 205 located below the shutoff valve.
[0037] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 5 The bottoms of the multiple pipe and valve installation grooves 20 opposite to the openings can be located at different heights, so that the pipes and valves 203 with different height requirements can be positioned and installed at the bottoms of the pipe and valve installation grooves 20 at different heights. The pipelines corresponding to the different pipes and valves 203 are avoided in the height direction, and the internal space of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 is reasonably utilized to prevent the pipe and valve installation bracket 204 from interfering with the different pipes and valves 203 or the pipelines connected thereto or causing collision damage during the installation process.
[0038] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The pipe valve installation groove 20 may include a first installation groove 21 and a second installation groove 22. The first installation groove 21 may be closer to the middle of the main body 10 than the second installation groove 22, and the edge of the opening of the first installation groove 21 may be higher than the edge of the opening of the second installation groove 22, so as to respectively assemble with pipe valves 203 of different volume types. In this embodiment, the notch of the first installation groove 21 has a higher edge in the height direction, which can avoid the pipe valve 203 assembled in the second installation groove 22 and the pipeline connected thereto, prevent interference with the assembly operation of the pipe valve 203 in the second installation groove 22 during the installation process, and improve space utilization. In actual application, in the compression chamber of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 where the compressor 205 is installed, along the horizontal direction (i.e. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The area near the center of the compression chamber (in the first direction in the figure) contains more components and is closer to compressor 205, which is located below the pipe and valve mounting bracket 204. Therefore, the first mounting slot 21, which is closer to the center (i.e., closer to compressor 205), is designed with a higher edge in the height direction. This minimizes the distance between the compressor 205 and prevents collision due to vibration and other factors. Furthermore, first positioning holes 211 may be provided on either side of the first mounting slot 21, and second positioning holes 221 may be provided on either side of the second mounting slot 22. These holes are used to securely connect the pipe and valve 203 to the first and second mounting slots 21, 22, respectively, through the positioning holes.
[0039] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom of the first mounting groove 21 opposite to the opening can be higher than the bottom of the second mounting groove 22 opposite to the opening, so that the valve ports of the pipe valve 203 located in the first mounting groove 21 and the second mounting groove 22 respectively form a certain height difference in the upper and lower directions, which is conducive to the installation and positioning of pipe valves 203 of different volumes and their respective pipelines, and reasonably utilizes the internal space of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 to meet the setting requirements between pipe valves for different purposes.
[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 5 The main body 10 may have two ends opposite to each other along a first direction, a first mounting hole 31 may be formed at one end, and a second mounting hole 32 may be formed at the other end, and the axis of the first mounting hole 31 may extend along the first direction, and the axis of the second mounting hole 32 may extend along the second direction, and the second direction may be perpendicular to the first direction and the opening direction of the pipe valve mounting groove 20.
[0041] In the above-described embodiment, a first mounting hole 31 and a second mounting hole 32 are respectively formed at each end of the main body 10 for positioning and connecting with the housing of the air conditioning outdoor unit 200 (including the inner cavity partition 201 and the outer shell 202 described below). The first mounting hole 31 can be used to limit the position of the main body 10 in a first direction, and the second mounting hole 32 can be used to limit the position of the main body 10 in a second direction. Because the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other, after the main body 10 is positioned and connected to the housing of the air conditioning outdoor unit 200, it can be firmly connected on a horizontal plane having the first and second directions. At the same time, after being fixedly connected to the housing, the main body 10 can also be limited in the vertical direction. This ensures that the main body 10 is stably fixed within the internal space of the air conditioning outdoor unit 200, ensuring that the pipe valve 203 assembled through the main body 10 has good spatial stability and prevents loosening and falling off, which could pose a safety hazard.
[0042] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The main body 10 may be formed with a first flange 111 and a second flange 112. The first mounting hole 31 may be formed in the first flange 111, and the second mounting hole 32 may be formed in the second flange 112. The inner cavity of the air conditioning outdoor unit 200 is usually divided into two chambers by an inner cavity partition 201. One is a compression chamber for accommodating components such as the compressor 205, and the other is a fan chamber for accommodating components such as the fan and motor. The mounting bracket 204 is disposed in the compression chamber. The first flange 111 can be configured to be in contact with the inner cavity partition 201 of the air conditioning outdoor unit 200, and the second flange can be configured to be in contact with the outer casing 202 of the air conditioning outdoor unit 200. In this embodiment, the first flange 111 is formed to be parallel to the side panels on the left and right sides of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200, so that the main body 10 can be fitted with the inner cavity partition 201 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 through the first flange 111, ensuring the fixed limit of the main body 10 in the first direction. At the same time, the second flange 112 is formed to be parallel to the side panels on the front and rear sides of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200, so that the main body 10 can be fitted with the outer shell 202 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 through the second flange 112, and the second mounting hole 32 on the second flange 112 can be arranged relative to the through hole 2021 formed on the outer shell 202, so as to fix the second flange to the outer shell 202, ensuring the fixed limit of the main body 10 in the second direction, and then the main body 10 is firmly positioned and connected in the internal space of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 after fixation, ensuring the fixing effect of the pipe valve mounting bracket 204.
[0043] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first direction indicates the left-right direction of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 during actual use, and the second direction indicates the front-back direction of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 during actual use. Furthermore, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on the positioning method of the first mounting hole 31 and the inner cavity partition 201, and the second mounting hole 32 and the outer shell 202, including but not limited to the use of screws, bolts, latches, etc. It is only necessary to ensure that such connections are stable and reliable, and no further details are given here.
[0044] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The main body 10 may include a first straight section 121 and a first bent section 131 connected to each other, a plurality of pipe and valve installation grooves 20 may be formed in the first straight section 121, and the first straight section 121 may be configured to extend along a first direction, wherein the first bent section 131 may be configured to be bent at an angle to the first straight section 121 to have components extending along the first direction and the second direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the direction of the opening of the pipe and valve installation groove 20 are perpendicular to each other.
[0045] In the above embodiment, an angled bend is formed between the first bent section 131 and the first straight section 121. The first straight section 121 is closer to the rear of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 than the first bent section 131. This allows the main body 10 to form a bent structure that is recessed from the front end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 toward the interior of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. The space enclosed by the first straight section 121 and the first bent section 131 can be used to accommodate the pipe valve 203, providing a certain degree of spatial protection for the pipe valve 203. Furthermore, the first bent section 131 conceals the first straight section 121 and the pipe valve 203 within the interior of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, saving internal space and making the internal structure of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 more compact and reasonable. This provides more storage space for the compressor and other associated equipment, and creates a gap between the compressor 205, which is closer to the front, to prevent impact during vibration.
[0046] For example, refer to Figure 6 The included angle between the first straight section 121 and the first bent section 131 may be 145 degrees to 155 degrees ( Figure 6 The angle a in the figure), and along the second direction, the distance between the end of the first bending section 131 away from the first straight section 121 and the first straight section 121 can be 40-45 mm ( Figure 6In this embodiment, angle a represents the degree of bending of the first bent section 131 relative to the first straight section 121, and distance L represents the distance between the first bent section 131 and the plane containing the first straight section 121. By combining angle a and distance L, the proportion of the space enclosed by the first bent section 131 and the first straight section 121 in the first direction can be determined. When angle a is between 145 and 155 degrees and distance L is between 40 and 45 mm, the space enclosed by the first bent section 131 and the first straight section 121 can meet the space requirements for accommodating the pipe valve 203 while not occupying too much internal space of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200. In this case, the pipe valve mounting bracket 204 has a relatively reasonable space utilization ratio.
[0047] For example, refer to Figure 6 The main body 10 may further include a second straight section 122 and a second bent section 132. The second straight section 122 may extend along the first direction and connect to the end of the first bent section 131 away from the first straight section 121. The second bent section 132 may extend along the second direction and connect to the end of the first straight section 121 away from the first bent section 131. The second straight section 122 may be used to connect to the first flange 111, providing strength support for the first flange 111 and ensuring a stable connection between the first flange 111 and the main body 10. Similarly, the second bent section 132 may be used to connect to the second flange 112, providing strength support for the second flange 112 and ensuring a stable connection between the second flange 112 and the main body 10. In addition, the second bent section 132 may extend the second flange 112 to a position suitable for connection with the housing 202.
[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 6 A reinforcing rib 14 may be formed on the main body 10 and may be extended along the extension direction of the main body 10 to improve the structural strength and rigidity of the main body 10, thereby preventing deformation and twisting of the main body 10 during the positioning and installation of the pipe valve 203 and the pipe valve mounting bracket 204, and ensuring that the structure of the pipe valve mounting bracket 204 is stable and reliable.
[0049] In some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 6 The main body 10 may be formed with a hanging hole 15 for passing a tie-down member through to bundle the wiring harness. In this embodiment, if the compressor 205 or other associated structures include certain wiring harness structures (such as wires, binding straps, etc.), the tie-down member can be passed through the hanging hole 15 to bundle the wiring harness structures and then hang them on the main body 10. This effectively organizes the wiring harness, prevents the wiring harness structures from being scattered and affecting the neatness of the interior space of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200, and avoids interference during the assembly and disassembly of related internal structural components, thereby improving assembly convenience.
[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 6The main body 10 may be formed with a protrusion 16 protruding toward a surface perpendicular to the main body 10, and a portion of the pipe valve mounting groove 20 may be formed in the protrusion 16. In this embodiment, when the portion of the pipe valve mounting groove 20 is used to mount a small-volume pipe valve 203, the pipe valve 203 has a relatively short usable distance in the second direction, which affects assembly. By providing the protrusion 16 on the main body 10 so that the protrusion 16 protrudes relative to the surface of the main body 10, the usable distance requirement of this type of pipe valve 203 in the second direction can be increased, meeting the assembly requirements of this type of pipe valve 203 and improving the adaptability of the pipe valve mounting bracket 204.
[0051] For example, the raised height of the raised portion 16 can be 9.5~10mm, ensuring that the raised portion 16 has a sufficient raised distance to meet the needs of assembly and use of a small-volume type pipe valve 203, while not occupying too much usable space and affecting the overall space occupancy of the pipe valve mounting bracket 204, thereby ensuring the integration of the pipe valve mounting bracket 204, and having a good reinforcement effect, thereby improving the structural strength and rigidity of the main body 10.
[0052] The second embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air-conditioning outdoor unit 200, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a pipe valve 203 and a pipe valve mounting bracket 204 provided in the first aspect of the present disclosure. This pipe valve mounting bracket 204 has all the technical effects of the aforementioned pipe valve mounting bracket 204 and is not further described here. The air conditioner outdoor unit 200 may further include a housing 202, a compressor 205 disposed within the housing, and an inner cavity partition 201 for separating two chambers.
[0053] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the stop valve is a type of pipe valve 203. The present disclosure can also provide other types of pipe valves 203 to replace the stop valve according to actual usage needs. At this time, the pipe valve 203 can have the function of a stop valve or the function of other types of valves according to actual usage needs, which will not be elaborated here.
[0054] The third aspect of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, including the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200 provided in the second aspect of the present disclosure. It can be understood that it also has all the technical effects of the above-mentioned air-conditioning outdoor unit 200, which will not be elaborated here.
[0055] In the foregoing detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of illustration, specific aspects of the present disclosure in which it may be practiced. In this regard, terms such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," "outside," and the like indicating directions or expressing positional relationships may be used with reference to the orientation of the figures being described. Since the components of the described devices may be positioned in a plurality of different orientations, directional terms may be used for illustrative purposes rather than restrictive. It should be understood that other aspects may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the concepts of the present disclosure. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense.
[0056] It should be understood that, unless otherwise specifically noted, the features of some embodiments of the present disclosure described herein may be combined with each other. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the relevant listed items and any combination of any two or more.
[0057] It should be understood that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "join," "attach," "install," "connect," "connect," "fix," etc. used in the embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrated; they can be mechanically connected, electrically connected, or communicable with each other; they can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and they can be internally connected between two elements or an interactive relationship between two elements, unless otherwise expressly limited. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this article can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0058] Additionally, the term "over" as used in reference to a component, element, or material layer being formed "over" or located "over" a surface may be used herein to mean that the component, element, or material layer is "indirectly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface such that one or more additional components, elements, or layers are disposed between the surface and the component, element, or material layer. However, the term "over" as used in reference to a component, element, or material layer being formed "over" or located "over" a surface may alternatively have a specific meaning: the component, element, or material layer is "directly" positioned (e.g., placed, formed, deposited, etc.) on the surface, e.g., in direct contact with the surface.
[0059] Although terms such as "first", "second" and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, layers or sections, these components, parts, regions, layers or sections are not limited to these terms. On the contrary, these terms are only used to distinguish one component, part, region, layer or section from another component, part, region, layer or section. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of each example, the first component, part, region, layer or section mentioned in the examples described herein may also be referred to as the second component, part, region, layer or section. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description herein, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0060] It should be understood that spatially relative terms, such as "above," "upper," "below," and "lower," are used herein to describe the relationship of one element to another element shown in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being "above" or "upper" relative to another element would then be "below" or "lower" relative to the other element. Thus, the term "above" encompasses both above and below orientations, depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may be oriented in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.
[0061] Furthermore, the word "exemplary" is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as advantageous over other aspects or designs. Rather, the use of the word exemplary is intended to present concepts in a concrete manner. As used herein, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or." That is, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context, "X applies to A or B" is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X applies to A; X applies to B; or X applies to both A and B, then "X applies to A or B" satisfies any of the aforementioned instances. Furthermore, the articles "a" and "an," as used in this application and the appended claims, are generally understood to mean "one or more," unless otherwise specified or clear from the context to refer to the singular form.
