[0042] In the description of the present invention, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more such features, "plurality" means two or more, the first feature "above" or "below" the second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or the first and second features not being in direct contact but being in contact through another feature between them, the first feature "above", "above" and "above" the second feature include the first feature being directly above and diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is horizontally higher than the second feature.

[0043] The heat exchanger support 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Reference Figure 4-10 As shown, according to the heat exchanger support 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchanger support 100 can support the heat exchanger 40 to meet the support and placement requirements of the heat exchanger 40, and the heat exchanger support 100 can include: a chassis 10.

[0045] Specifically, the chassis 10 is located below the heat exchanger 40, and a water collecting groove 11 is formed on the upper end surface of the chassis 10. The condensed water generated on the heat exchanger 40 can drip into the water collecting groove 11, thereby collecting the condensed water and preventing the condensed water from dripping onto other structures inside the air conditioner 200 and causing damage to other internal structures, ensuring safety, and preventing the condensed water from directly dripping to the outside of the air conditioner 200 and affecting the user experience.

[0046] In addition, if Figures 6-10As shown, a wind shield rib 111 is provided in the water receiving trough 11, and the wind shield rib 111 includes a plurality of wind shields 21, and the plurality of wind shields 21 are spaced apart along the width direction of the heat exchanger 40, and there is a gap 30 between two adjacent wind shields 21. The wind shield rib 111 can separate the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 11 and the heat exchanger 40 to prevent the condensed water accumulated in the water receiving trough 11 from soaking the heat exchanger 40 and causing damage to the heat exchanger 40. At the same time, the wind shield rib 111 can block the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 11, reducing the airflow flowing into the air conditioner 200 through the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the water receiving trough 11 and affecting the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 200. The gap 30 facilitates the flow of condensed water on the windward side and the leeward side of the wind shield rib 11, meets the flow requirements of the condensed water, and facilitates the discharge of the condensed water.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of windshields 21 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the windshields 21 can be as follows: Figure 1 Eight are shown, but there may be two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine or more, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] In the related art, when cleaning the heat exchanger (for example, cleaning the fins of the heat exchanger), a water gun is used directly for cleaning. The cleaning water will flush the wind shield ribs, making it easy for the cleaning water to flush out from the gaps. Part of the cleaning water will splash onto other structures. For example, the cleaning water splashes onto the rear box and flows along the inner wall of the rear box to other parts of the air conditioner, creating a safety hazard. In addition, part of the cleaning water is easy to splash onto the indoor walls, for example, it splashes onto the indoor walls through the air inlet grille of the rear box, causing damage to the indoor walls or other furniture, affecting the user experience.

[0049] Therefore, in the present invention, if Figures 6-10As shown, a plurality of first shielding members 112 are further provided on the water receiving trough 11, and a first shielding member 112 is provided on at least one side of the windward side or the leeward side of the wind shielding rib 111, that is, a first shielding member 112 is provided on the windward side of the wind shielding rib 111, or a first shielding member 112 is provided on the leeward side of the wind shielding rib 111, or a first shielding member 112 is provided on both the windward side and the leeward side of the wind shielding rib 111, and a plurality of first shielding members 112 are respectively opposite to a plurality of gaps 30, so that the first shielding members 112 can block the gaps 30, thereby reducing the airflow entering through the gaps 30 during heat exchange (such as cooling or heating) of the air conditioner 200. The air intake volume of the main air duct of the air conditioner 200 can reduce the adverse effects on the heat exchange of the air conditioner 200, and the first shielding member 112 can play a water-blocking role. When the cleaning water for cleaning the heat exchanger 40 is flushed to the wind shield rib, the cleaning water flowing to the gap 30 will be blocked by the first shielding member 112 to flow back, avoiding the cleaning water from splashing onto other structures through the gap 30 and causing safety hazards. At the same time, it avoids the cleaning water from splashing onto the indoor walls and causing damage to the indoor walls or other furniture, such as avoiding splashing onto the indoor walls through the air inlet grille 505 of the rear box 502, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figures 6-10 As shown, a drainage hole 12 is also provided in the water receiving trough 11, and the drainage hole 12 is located at the lowest point of the water receiving trough 11. The condensed water in the water receiving trough 11 can be discharged through the drainage hole 12 to avoid overflow caused by excessive condensed water accumulated in the drainage trough. The gap 30 facilitates the condensed water on the windward side and the leeward side of the windshield rib 111 to flow toward the drainage hole 12, making the discharge of the condensed water more convenient.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figures 6-10 As shown, there are multiple drainage holes 12, and the multiple drainage holes 12 are arranged at intervals in the water receiving trough 11. The multiple drainage holes 12 can increase the discharge amount of condensed water in the water receiving trough 11, facilitate the discharge of condensed water, and avoid problems such as water accumulation in some areas of the water receiving trough 11, thereby ensuring the hygiene in the water receiving trough 11.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the drainage holes 12 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the drainage holes 12 can be as follows: Figure 7 Three are shown, but there may also be two, four, five, six or more, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 9As shown, when the air conditioner 200 turns on the cooling function, a large amount of condensed water will be generated on the heat exchanger 40. The condensed water will settle under the action of gravity and be diverted into the water receiving tank 11. The windshield ribs 111 can reduce the amount of indoor air entering the main air duct without passing through the heat exchanger 40. The gaps 30 between the multiple windshields 21 can accelerate the flow of condensed water on the air inlet side of the windshield ribs 111 to the drainage holes 12 on the leeward side of the windshield ribs 111, so that the condensed water can be discharged as quickly as possible. For example, the flow direction of the condensed water is as follows: Figure 9 Indicated by the arrow.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchanger bracket 100 also includes a support portion 81, which is arranged above the chassis 10, and the support portion 81 is connected to the chassis 10, and the support portion 81 is connected to the heat exchanger 40, so that the heat exchanger bracket 100 can support and fix the heat exchanger 40, ensuring that the heat exchanger 40 is reliably fixed.

[0055] According to the heat exchanger bracket 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a wind shield rib 111 is provided in the water receiving trough 11 of the chassis 10. The wind shield rib 111 includes a plurality of wind shields 21 spaced apart along the width direction of the heat exchanger 40. There is a gap 30 between two adjacent wind shields 21. A first shielding member 112 is provided on at least one side of the windward side or the leeward side of the wind shield rib 111. The plurality of first shielding members 112 are respectively opposite to the plurality of gaps 30 to shield the gaps 30, and can achieve a separation between the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 11 and the heat exchanger 40 to prevent the condensed water accumulated in the water receiving trough 11 from affecting the heat exchanger. 40 is soaked and causes damage to the heat exchanger 40, while the wind shield rib 111 can block the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 11, and the first shielding member 112 can further block the gap 30, reducing the air flow passing through the gap 30 and entering the main air duct of the air conditioner 200 during heat exchange of the air conditioner 200, thereby reducing the adverse effect on the heat exchange of the air conditioner 200, and the first shielding member 112 can play a water-blocking role, avoiding the cleaning water of the heat exchanger 40 from splashing onto other structures or indoor walls, furniture, etc., avoiding safety hazards, and helping to improve the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 7-10As shown, the two adjacent wind shields 21 opposite to the first shielding member 112 are respectively the first wind shield 23 and the second wind shield 24. The end of the first shielding member 112 close to the first wind shield 23 in the length direction is connected to the first wind shield 23, and the end of the first shielding member 112 close to the second wind shield 24 is spaced apart from the second wind shield 24, which can improve the structural strength of the first shielding member 112 and avoid deformation problems. At the same time, the connection between the first shielding member 112 and the first wind shield 23 can further block the airflow or cleaning water, so as to reduce the air intake of the main air duct of the air conditioner 200 through the gap 30 when the air conditioner 200 is exchanging heat, and effectively avoid the cleaning water for cleaning the heat exchanger 40 from easily splashing through the gap 30 to other structures or indoor walls, furniture, etc. due to different angles.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 7-10 As shown, the two adjacent wind shields 21 opposite to the first shielding member 112 are respectively the first wind shield 23 and the second wind shield 24. The end of the second wind shield 24 close to the first shielding member 112 is provided with a second shielding member 113 extending toward the first shielding member 112. The second shielding member 113 is spaced apart from the first shielding member 112, which can improve the structural strength of the second wind shield 24 and avoid deformation problems. At the same time, the second shielding member 113 can further block the airflow or cleaning water, so as to reduce the air intake of the airflow through the gap 30 into the main air duct of the air conditioner 200 when the air conditioner 200 is exchanging heat, and effectively avoid the cleaning water for cleaning the heat exchanger 40 from easily splashing onto other structures or indoor walls, furniture, etc. through the gap 30 due to different angles.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 7-10 As shown, the two adjacent windshields 21 opposite to the first shielding member 112 are respectively the first windshield 23 and the second windshield 24, and the end of the first shielding member 112 close to the first windshield 23 in the length direction is connected to the first windshield 23, and the end of the first shielding member 112 close to the second windshield 24 is separated from the second windshield 24, and the end of the second windshield 24 close to the first shielding member 112 is provided with a second shielding member 113 extending toward the first shielding member 112, and the second shielding member 113 is spaced apart from the first shielding member 112. In this way, the structural strength of the first shielding member 112 and the second wind shield 24 can be improved to avoid deformation problems. At the same time, the connection between the first shielding member 112 and the first wind shield 23 and the second shielding member 113 can further block the airflow or cleaning water, thereby reducing the amount of air entering the main air duct of the air conditioner 200 through the gap 30 when the air conditioner 200 exchanges heat, and effectively preventing the cleaning water for cleaning the heat exchanger 40 from easily splashing onto other structures or indoor walls, furniture, etc. through the gap 30 due to different angles.

[0059] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, when the air conditioner 200 is working normally, a part of the indoor air flow will pass through the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 11 and enter the main air duct of the air conditioner 200. Too much indoor air will enter the main air duct without passing through the heat exchanger 40, which will affect the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 200. Therefore, in the present invention, by setting a plurality of first shielding members 112 respectively opposite to the plurality of gaps 30, the end of the first shielding member 112 close to the first wind shield 23 in the length direction is connected to the first wind shield 23, and the end of the second wind shield 24 close to the first shielding member 112 is provided with a second shielding member 113 extending toward the first shielding member 112, so that the channel of the gap 30 is not smoothly bent, which can increase the air intake resistance, thereby reducing the air intake amount of the air passing through the gap 30 into the main air duct when the air conditioner 200 is working, and can reduce the adverse effects on the heat exchange of the air conditioner 200. For example, the direction of indoor air flow is as follows Figure 8 Indicated by the arrow.

[0060] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 10 As shown, when cleaning the heat exchanger 40, the fins of the heat exchanger 40 are cleaned with a water gun, and the cleaning water will flush the windshield ribs. By providing multiple first shielding members 112 opposite the multiple gaps 30, the ends of the first shielding members 112 in the longitudinal direction of the first windshield 23 are connected to the first windshield 23, and the ends of the second windshield 24 near the first shielding member 112 are provided with a second shielding member 113 extending toward the first shielding member 112, the channels of the gaps 30 can be bent. When the cleaning water hits the windshield ribs, most of the cleaning water will be blocked from flowing back by the leeward side of the windshield 21 and the leeward side of the first shielding member 112, as well as the connection between the first windshield 23 and the first shielding member 112. Even if a small amount of cleaning water splashes into the gap 30, it will be blocked by the side of the second shielding member 113 facing the second windshield 24, the side of the connection between the windshield 21 and the first shielding member 112 facing the first windshield 23, and the windward side of the first shielding member 112, and will flow back into the water receiving tank 11 and be discharged, thus preventing the cleaning water for cleaning the heat exchanger 40 from easily splashing onto other structures or indoor walls, furniture, etc. through the gap 30. For example, the flow direction of the cleaning water is as follows: Figure 10 Indicated by the arrow.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 7As shown, when a second shielding member 113 extending toward the first shielding member 112 is provided at the end of the second windshield 24 near the first shielding member 112, the length of the second shielding member 113 is e, and e satisfies the following: 2mm ≤ e ≤ 5mm. Thus, within the above range, the second shielding member 113 can effectively block water, preventing wash water from splashing through the gap 30 due to different angles onto other structures or indoor walls, furniture, etc., and can also avoid interference with the first shielding member 112, which helps reduce production costs. For example, in some specific embodiments, the length of the second shielding member 113 can be 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, etc.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, when a second shielding member 113 extending toward the first shielding member 112 is provided at the end of the second shielding member 113 that is located near the first shielding member 112, the distance d between the end of the second shielding member 113 that is located away from the second shielding member 24 and the first shielding member 112 satisfies the following conditions: 4 mm ≤ d ≤ 7 mm. Thus, within this range, condensed water can flow between the second shielding member 113 and the first shielding member 112, avoiding obstruction to the flow of condensed water and ensuring smooth flow. This also prevents wash water from splashing onto other structures, indoor walls, furniture, etc. through the gap 30. Furthermore, the gap 30 facilitates processing and manufacturing, and facilitates molding. For example, in some specific embodiments, the distance between the end of the second shielding member 113 that is located away from the second shielding member 113 and the first shielding member 112 can be 7 mm, 6.5 mm, 6 mm, 5.5 mm, 5 mm, 4.5 mm, 4 mm, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, when a second shielding member 113 extending toward the first shielding member 112 is provided at the end of the second windshield 24 proximate to the first shielding member 112, the distance f between the end of the first shielding member 112 proximate to the second windshield 24 and the second shielding member 113 along the length of the second windshield 24 is 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, or the like. Thus, within this range, the first shielding member 112 can reliably block the gap 30, thereby ensuring reliable water and wind protection. Interference can also be avoided, which helps reduce production costs. For example, in some specific embodiments, the distance between the end of the first shielding member 112 proximate to the second windshield 24 and the second shielding member 113 along the length of the second windshield 24 can be 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, or the like.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7As shown, along the length of the windshield rib 111, the length of the gap 30 is c, and c satisfies: 4mm ≤ c ≤ 7mm. Thus, within this range, condensate can flow easily through the gap 30, avoiding obstruction to the flow of condensate, ensuring smooth flow, meeting the flow requirements of condensate, and facilitating processing and molding. For example, in some specific embodiments, the length of the gap 30 along the length of the windshield rib 111 can be 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 11 has an inclined surface 114, which is inclined in the direction from the leeward side to the windward side of the heat exchanger 40 (for example, Figure 3 In the direction from front to rear as shown in the figure, the inclined surface 114 extends upward, and the windshield rib 111 is provided on the inclined surface 114. The inclined surface 114 can guide the condensed water, so that the condensed water on the windward side of the windshield rib 111 flows toward the leeward side of the windshield rib 111, thereby realizing the flow demand of the condensed water and ensuring that the windshield rib 111 can reliably block the airflow and washing water to meet the required requirements.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7-10 As shown, the first shielding member 112 is arranged on the inclined surface 114, and one end of the first shielding member 112 extends obliquely toward the leeward side of the windshield rib 111, so that the first shielding member 112 can guide the condensed water or the cleaning water, avoiding the accumulation of condensed water or inclined water on the first shielding member 112 and the generation of bacteria and other problems, thereby ensuring the safety of the air conditioner 200.

[0067] The air conditioner 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a heat exchanger 40 and a heat exchanger bracket 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The heat exchanger 40 is connected to the heat exchanger bracket 100 and is located above the chassis 10. The heat exchanger 40 can be fixed by the heat exchanger bracket 100 to meet the required heat exchange requirements. The windshield rib 111 is opposite to the heat exchanger 40 in the vertical direction, so that the windshield rib 111 can effectively block the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 11, preventing air from flowing into the air conditioner 200 through the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the water receiving tank 11, thereby ensuring a good heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 200. For example, the heat exchanger 40 can be an evaporator.

[0068] The air conditioner 200 may be a double-flow cabinet air conditioner, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0069] Since the heat exchanger bracket 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the air conditioner 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a wind shield rib 111 in the water receiving trough 11 of the chassis 10. The wind shield rib 111 includes a plurality of wind shields 21 spaced apart along the width direction of the heat exchanger 40. There is a gap 30 between two adjacent wind shields 21. A first shielding member 112 is provided on at least one side of the windward side or the leeward side of the wind shield rib 111. The plurality of first shielding members 112 are respectively opposite to the plurality of gaps 30 to block the gaps 30, which can achieve spacing between the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 11 and the heat exchanger 40 to avoid While the condensed water accumulated in the water collection tank 11 does not soak the heat exchanger 40 and damage the heat exchanger 40, the wind shield rib 111 can block the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the bottom wall of the water collection tank 11, and the first shielding member 112 can further block the gap 30, reducing the amount of air entering the main air duct of the air conditioner 200 through the gap 30 during heat exchange of the air conditioner 200, thereby reducing the adverse effect on the heat exchange of the air conditioner 200, and the first shielding member 112 can play a water-blocking role, preventing the cleaning water of the heat exchanger 40 from splashing onto other structures or indoor walls, furniture, etc., avoiding safety hazards, and helping to improve the user experience.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the distance b between the lower end of the heat exchanger 40 and the upper end of the windshield rib 111 satisfies the following conditions: 2 mm ≤ b ≤ 5 mm. This prevents the heat exchanger 40 from being damaged by contact with the windshield rib 111 during installation, ensuring reliable assembly of the heat exchanger 40. It also prevents a large distance between the heat exchanger 40 and the windshield rib 111, which could easily cause airflow to flow into the air conditioner 200 through the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the water tank 11, ensuring reliable heat exchange in the air conditioner 200. For example, in some specific embodiments, the distance between the lower end of the heat exchanger 40 and the upper end of the windshield rib 111 can be 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, etc.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the windshield rib 111 is parallel to the lower end of the heat exchanger 40 , which can ensure a reliable distance between the lower end of the heat exchanger 40 and the upper end of the windshield rib 111 and facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the windshield rib 111 .

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, along the thickness direction of the heat exchanger 40, the distance between the windward side of the windshield rib 111 and the windward side of the heat exchanger 40 is a, and a satisfies: 3mm≤a≤8mm. Thus, within the above range, the windshield rib 111 can provide a good windshield effect, effectively reducing the airflow flowing into the air conditioner 200 through the gap between the heat exchanger 40 and the water receiving trough 11 and affecting the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 200, ensuring reliable windshield protection, and facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the windshield rib 111. For example, in some specific embodiments, along the thickness direction of the heat exchanger 40, the distance between the windward side of the windshield rib 111 and the windward side of the heat exchanger 40 can be 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, etc.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner 200 further includes a shell 50 , in which the heat exchanger 40 and the heat exchanger bracket 100 are both located. The shell 50 can protect the heat exchanger 40 to prevent the heat exchanger 40 from being exposed and damaged, thereby extending the service life of the heat exchanger 40 .

[0074] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shell 50 has a heat exchange duct and an air inlet 51 and an air outlet 52 connected to the heat exchange duct. A heat exchanger 40 and an air duct component 72 are provided in the heat exchange channel. Along the flow direction of the air flow, the heat exchanger 40 is located upstream of the air duct component 72. The air duct component 72 can drive the indoor air flow through the air inlet 51 into the heat exchange duct. The air flow in the heat exchange duct can exchange heat with the heat exchanger 40. The air flow after heat exchange can be blown into the room through the air outlet 52, thereby adjusting the indoor temperature to meet the user's usage needs.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shell 50 may include a top cover 501, a panel assembly 504, a rear box 502 and a base 503. The top cover 501, the panel assembly 504, the rear box 502 and the base 503 are interconnected, which can protect the internal structure of the air conditioner 200 and prevent the internal structure from being exposed and damaged, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the air conditioner 200 and has a better appearance.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the panel assembly 504 may include a first panel 61 and a second panel 62. The first panel 61 and the second panel 62 are connected, which is beneficial to reducing the complexity of the overall processing of the panel assembly 504, facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the panel assembly 504, and helping to reduce production costs.

[0077] In some embodiments, when cleaning the heat exchanger 40, the main air duct located on the leeward side of the heat exchanger 40 is removed, that is, the panel assembly 504 and the air duct component 72 are disassembled to facilitate cleaning of the heat exchanger 40 and ensure easy cleaning.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, a connecting pipe 41 is provided on the heat exchanger 40, and a pipe clamp 73 is also provided on the heat exchanger bracket 100. The pipe clamp 73 is connected to the heat exchanger bracket 100, and the connecting pipe 41 is located between the pipe clamp 73 and the heat exchanger bracket 100. The pipe clamp 73 can limit the connecting pipe 41 to ensure that the connecting pipe 41 is securely fixed on the heat exchanger bracket 100.

[0079] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 200 also includes a water collecting pan 71, which is located inside the shell 50 and below the heat exchanger bracket 100. The water collecting pan 71 can collect condensed water dripping from the heat exchanger 40 and / or condensed water flowing out of the water collecting tank 11, and discharge the condensed water to prevent the condensed water from dripping onto other internal structures and causing damage to other internal structures, thereby ensuring safety and preventing the condensed water from directly dripping onto the outside of the air conditioner 200 and affecting the user's experience.
