DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
[0027] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as upper and lower directions of the mounting plate in the direction of gravity during normal use, i.e. Figure 1 In the drawings, "upper" and "lower," "inner" and "outer" generally refer to the "inner" and "outer" relative to the corresponding component's own outline, and "top" and "bottom" generally refer to the "top" and "bottom" relative to the corresponding component in the use state along the height direction. The terms "first," "second," etc. are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequential or importance. In addition, in the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same figure numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The above definitions are used only to explain and illustrate the present disclosure and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.
[0028] In the related art, the arrangements of the electronic control board and the radiator are varied. In some embodiments, the electronic control board and the radiator are arranged on both sides in the thickness direction of the mounting plate, that is, the radiator is arranged on the back side of the electronic control board. In this way, when the staff can only install the radiator from the side of the mounting plate where the electronic control board is installed, it is difficult for the installer to observe whether the radiator is installed in place, and it is difficult for the maintenance personnel to access the refrigerant pipe, which makes the installation and maintenance of the radiator difficult.
[0029] In order to solve the above technical problems, refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown in , the present disclosure provides a mounting bracket 10, which is used for an electronic control component and includes a mounting plate 100. The mounting plate 100 has a first side 110 and a second side 120 opposite to each other in its own thickness direction. The first side 110 is used to set the electronic control board 300 of the electronic control component, and the second side 120 is used to set the radiator 600 of the electronic control component. The radiator 600 includes a refrigerant pipe 610. The mounting plate 100 is provided with a maintenance port 150, and the projection of the refrigerant pipe 610 in the thickness direction is partially set within the projection of the maintenance port 150 in the thickness direction.
[0030] Through the above technical solution, in the mounting bracket 10 provided in the present invention, the radiator 600 is arranged on the second side 120 of the mounting plate 100 and includes a refrigerant pipe 610. The mounting plate 100 is provided with a maintenance port 150, and the projection of the refrigerant pipe 610 in the thickness direction is partially arranged in the projection of the maintenance port 150 in the thickness direction. That is to say, when the staff installs the radiator 600, the staff can at least partially observe or contact the refrigerant pipe 610 from the first side 110 of the mounting plate 100 through the maintenance port 150. In this way, due to the limitation of the installation process of the electronic control component, the staff can only install the refrigerant pipe 610 of the radiator 600 from the first side 110 of the mounting plate 100. The setting of the maintenance port 150 can facilitate the staff to observe the position of the refrigerant pipe 610, thereby judging whether the refrigerant pipe 610 is installed in place and making timely adjustments, and finally achieving the purpose of facilitating the staff to install the radiator 600.
[0031] In the mounting bracket provided by the present disclosure, the refrigerant pipe 610 can be arranged in any suitable manner to further facilitate the staff to adjust the position of the refrigerant pipe 610, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown in , the refrigerant pipe 610 may include a first pipe section, a second pipe section 612, and a curved pipe section 613. The curved pipe section 613 connects the first pipe section and the second pipe section 612. The outer wall of the curved pipe section 613 may define an operating space 6131. The operating space 6131 may also be at least partially exposed to the maintenance port 150. That is, when installing the radiator 600, the worker can at least partially observe or access the operating space 6131 from the first side 110 of the mounting plate 100 through the maintenance port 150. This allows the worker to reach into the operating space 6131 from the first side 110 of the mounting plate 100 by hand or with a tool through the maintenance port 150, thereby adjusting the position of the refrigerant pipe 610 and facilitating operation.
[0032] In the related art, reference Figure 7 As shown in , in order to facilitate the flow of refrigerant into and out of the refrigerant tube 610, the two ends of the refrigerant tube 610 are usually located at the same end. That is, most refrigerant tubes 610 include a first tube segment and a second tube segment 612 that are parallel to each other. Accordingly, they also include a curved tube segment 613 for connecting the first tube segment and the second tube segment 612. One end of the curved tube segment 613 is connected to the end of the first tube segment, and the second end is bent toward the second tube segment 612 to form an operating space 6131. In some other embodiments, the curved tube segment 613 can also be constructed as a straight tube, with the two ends of the straight tube being connected to the first tube segment and the second tube segment 612 respectively. In this way, the straight tube can form an operating space 6131 together with the first tube segment and the second tube segment 612, which can also achieve the purpose of facilitating operation by the staff. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0033] On the basis of the above technical solution, as an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown in , the vertex 6132 of the curved pipe section 613 can be located within the projection of the maintenance opening 150 in the thickness direction. In other words, the vertex 6132 of the curved pipe section 613 is lower than the edge of the maintenance opening 150, that is, the vertex 6132 of the curved pipe section 613 is lower than the edge of the mounting plate 100. This prevents the curved pipe section 613 of the refrigerant pipe 610 from partially protruding outside the mounting plate 100 and affecting the installation of other electrical components in the air conditioner outdoor unit.
[0034] In the mounting bracket provided by the present disclosure, the maintenance port 150 can be set at any suitable position on the mounting plate 100 to facilitate the installation of the radiator 600, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown in , the maintenance port 150 can be provided on the upper side of the mounting plate 100. The “upper side of the mounting plate 100” refers to the upper side of the mounting plate 100 in the direction of gravity during normal use of the air conditioner outdoor unit, i.e. Figure 1In the upper side of the middle figure, compared with the maintenance port 150 set on the lower side or left and right sides of the mounting plate 100, the maintenance port 150 is set on the upper side in accordance with the offset trend of the position of the refrigerant pipe 610 in the direction of gravity, which is convenient for the staff to adjust the position of the refrigerant pipe 610.
[0035] In the mounting bracket 10 provided in the present disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in , the mounting plate 100 may be provided with a receiving groove on the second side 120 that communicates with the maintenance port 150, and the curved pipe section 613 is received in the first receiving groove 160. This is because, in order to reduce the thickness dimension of the electronic control assembly, the first and second pipe sections 612 of the refrigerant pipe 610 are at least partially received within the receiving groove 210 in the thickness direction. Thus, the provision of the first receiving groove 160 can avoid the extension of the curved pipe section 613, providing space for its arrangement.
[0036] In the mounting bracket provided in the present disclosure, the heat sink 600 can be mounted on the mounting plate 100 in any suitable manner, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in , the mounting plate 100 may be recessed toward the first side 110 to form a receiving groove 210. The receiving groove 210 is used to receive the power module 400 of the electronic control assembly. The heat sink 600 may include a first heat sink 620 and a second heat sink 630. The first heat sink 620 and the second heat sink 630 may sandwich a refrigerant tube 610. The receiving groove 210 is also used to receive the first heat sink 620. In other words, the power module 400 is mounted in the receiving groove 210, and the first heat sink 620 of the heat sink 600 is also mounted in the receiving groove 210. Typically, the first heat sink 620 contacts the power module 400, and the refrigerant tube 610 is sandwiched between the first heat sink 620 and the second heat sink 630. In this way, the refrigerant tube 610 can exchange heat with the power module 400 through the first heat sink 620, thereby achieving the purpose of dissipating heat from the power module 400.
[0037] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to facilitate the fixation between the first heat dissipation plate 620 and the mounting plate 100, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in FIG, the receiving groove 210 may further include a first sub-groove 215 and a second sub-groove 216. The first heat sink 620 includes a main plate 621 and a side plate 622. The first sub-groove 215 is used to accommodate the main plate 621 and the power module 400, and the second sub-groove 216 is used to accommodate the side plate 622. The second sub-groove 216 is provided with a mounting hole 2161 that cooperates with a fastener. The fastener is used to connect the side plate 622 and the mounting plate 100 through the mounting hole 2161. In other words, the main plate 621 of the first heat sink 620 can be accommodated in the first sub-groove 215 and abutted against the power module 400, while the side plate 622 of the first heat sink 620 is accommodated in the second sub-groove 216 and fixed to the mounting plate 100 via the fastener. In this way, the first heat sink 620 can abut against the power module 400 without interfering with the installation of the power module 400, and the first heat sink 620 can be fixed to the mounting plate 100 at the same time.
[0038] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to facilitate the determination of the installation position of the first heat dissipation plate 620, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 As shown in , the second slot 216 may further be provided with a limiting rib 2162, which is configured to abut against the side plate 622. Thus, the limiting rib 2162 facilitates a worker to quickly determine the installation position of the first heat sink 620 when installing the first heat sink 620. Furthermore, the limiting rib 2162 may be designed to match the size of the side plate 622 so that the first heat sink 620 can be clamped by the limiting rib 2162. In other words, the limiting rib 2162 can provide a certain pre-installation function for the first heat sink 620, facilitating subsequent installation of the first heat sink 620.
[0039] Furthermore, in this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, a first clamping groove 623 is provided on the side surface of the first heat sink 620 facing the second heat sink 630, and a second clamping groove 631 is provided on the side surface of the second heat sink 630 facing the first heat sink 620. The second heat sink 630 is fixedly connected to the first heat sink 620 by fasteners, and the first clamping groove 623 and the second clamp cooperate to form a clamping space for arranging the refrigerant pipe 610. In this way, when installing the radiator 600, first, the main plate 621 of the first heat sink 620 is clamped in the first sub-slot 215 and the first heat sink 620 is ensured to be in contact with the power module 400. Then, the side plate 622 of the first heat sink 620 is fixed to the second sub-slot 216. Then, the refrigerant tube 610 is arranged in the first clamping groove 623. The second heat sink 630 is also connected to the first heat sink 620 through fasteners. At the same time, the position of the second clamping groove 631 is ensured to be fixed to the refrigerant tube 610, so that the refrigerant tube 610 is clamped between the first heat sink 620 and the second heat sink 630. Thus, the assembly between the radiator 600 and the mounting plate 100 is completed.
[0040] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present disclosure also provides an electric control component, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG, the mounting bracket 10 includes the aforementioned mounting bracket 10 and a support plate 20. The support plate 20 is fixed to a side of the mounting plate 100 where the heat sink 600 is provided. The support plate 20 is used to provide installation space for other electrical components such as an electric control box and to provide a certain degree of protection for the electrical components on the mounting plate 100. The heat sink 600 is located between the mounting plate 100 and the support plate 20. The mounting bracket 10 has all the technical features of the aforementioned mounting bracket 10, so they are not described in detail here.
