[0048] An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Reference Figure 2-Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include: a heat exchanger 10 and an air duct component 20. The air conditioner 100 may be a double-flow cabinet air conditioner, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0050] Specifically, along the air flow direction, the air duct component 20 is located downstream of the heat exchanger 10, and the air duct component 20 has a first air duct and a second air duct. The first air duct and the second air duct are arranged along the width direction of the air duct component 20 (for example, Figure 2) are spaced apart. Thus, the air duct component 20 can drive the airflow through the heat exchanger 10 and out of the first and second air ducts. The heat exchanger 10 can achieve heat exchange with the airflow, meeting the heat exchange requirements of the air conditioner 100. Thus, the indoor temperature can be adjusted by the air conditioner 100, for example, to achieve heating and cooling requirements, meeting the user's usage needs. Furthermore, the first and second air ducts are conducive to increasing the air supply volume of the air conditioner 100, improving the air conditioner 100's ability to adjust the indoor ambient temperature, and thus reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing the user's usage experience.

[0051] In addition, if Figure 2-Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a sterilization module 30. The sterilization module 30 is located upstream of the heat exchanger 10 along the airflow direction and is connected to the heat exchanger 10. The sterilization module 30 can be fixed within the air conditioner 100 and shielded from light, preventing the light from the sterilization module 30 from affecting the user's experience. The sterilization module 30 can sterilize the air entering the first and second air ducts and the heat exchanger 10, preventing the growth of bacteria on the heat exchanger 10. This improves the purification capability of the air conditioner 100, enhances the purification and sterilization effects of the air conditioner 100, ensures the sterility of the air entering the room, and protects the health of the user.

[0052] It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, the directions such as "left and right direction", "front and back direction", and "up and down direction" in the present invention are based on the direction relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are not limitations on the directions in actual application.

[0053] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the air duct component 20 has a first air duct and a second air duct spaced apart along the width direction of the air duct component 20, which can increase the air supply volume of the air conditioner 100 and improve the ability of the air conditioner 100 to regulate the indoor ambient temperature. At the same time, along the air flow direction, the sterilization module 30 is located upstream of the heat exchanger 10 and connected to the heat exchanger 10. The sterilization module 30 can sterilize the air entering the first air duct and the second air duct and the heat exchanger 10 to avoid the phenomenon of a large number of bacteria growing on the heat exchanger 10, and can improve the purification and sterilization effect of the air conditioner 100, ensure that the air flowing into the room is sterile, and ensure the health of the user. In addition, the sterilization module 30 can be blocked to avoid the light of the sterilization module 30 and the like affecting the user's experience.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the sterilization module 30 is snap-connected to the heat exchanger 10 to ensure that the sterilization module 30 is securely fixed to the heat exchanger 10 and is easy to disassemble for maintenance or replacement.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the heat exchanger 10 includes a heat exchanger 10 in the height direction (eg Figure 7 Multiple (greater than or equal to two) heat exchange tubes 11 are spaced apart in the vertical direction (as shown in the figure), and the multiple heat exchange tubes 11 extend along the width direction of the heat exchanger 10. The refrigerant can flow between the multiple heat exchange tubes 11 to achieve the required heat exchange effect for the air.

[0056] In addition, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the sterilization module 30 includes a shell 31 and a sterilization component 32. The shell 31 is provided with a hook 311, which is clamped on the heat exchange tube 11. The sterilization component 32 is provided on the shell 31. The shell 31 and the heat exchange tube 11 are clamped together to enable the sterilization component 32 to be firmly fixed on the heat exchanger 10, ensuring reliable fixation. At the same time, it is convenient for the sterilization component 32 to sterilize the heat exchanger 10 and the air flowing through the heat exchanger 10, ensuring the sterilization effect. The fixing structure of the sterilization module 30 is simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the heat exchanger 10 further includes a plurality of (greater than or equal to two) fins 12, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 11 are passed through the plurality of fins 12. The plurality of fins 12 can increase the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger 10, thereby ensuring reliable heat exchange of the heat exchanger 10.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7-10 As shown, there may be multiple hooks 311, including a first hook 41 and a second hook 42, which are spaced apart in the height direction of the heat exchanger 10. The multiple heat exchange tubes 11 include a first heat exchange tube 111 and a second heat exchange tube 112, which are spaced apart in the height direction of the heat exchanger 10. The first hook 41 and the second hook 42 are respectively secured to the first heat exchange tube 111 and the second heat exchange tube 112. Thus, by securing the first hook 41 to the first heat exchange tube 111 and the second hook 42 to the second heat exchange tube 112, the sterilization module 30 can be connected to the heat exchanger 10 at multiple different locations, thereby improving the connection stability of the sterilization module 30 to the heat exchanger 10 and preventing problems such as falling off.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 12As shown, multiple heat exchange tubes 11 are spaced apart in the height and thickness directions of the heat exchanger 10 , which can increase the flow area of ​​the refrigerant on the heat exchanger 10 , which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 10 and ensuring the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 10 .

[0060] In addition, if Figure 7 As shown, the first heat exchange tube 111 and the second heat exchange tube 112 are located on the windward side. The first hook 41 and the second hook 42 are respectively clamped on the first heat exchange tube 111 and the second heat exchange tube 112, so that the sterilization module 30 can be installed on the outermost side of the heat exchanger 10, which is convenient for placing the sterilization module 30 and is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figures 8-10 As shown, the first hook 41 can be a plurality of first hooks 41 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the heat exchanger 10, and the plurality of first hooks 41 are all clamped on the first heat exchange tube 111, so that the sterilization module 30 is securely fixed on the first heat exchange tube 111, which can further ensure that the sterilization module 30 is securely fixed on the heat exchanger 10, avoiding problems such as falling off or shaking.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the first hooks 41 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the first hooks 41 can be as follows: Figure 10 Two are shown, but there may be three, four, five, six or more, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second hook 42 can be a plurality of second hooks 42 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the heat exchanger 10, and the plurality of second hooks 42 are all clamped on the second heat exchange tube 112, so that the sterilization module 30 is securely fixed on the second heat exchange tube 112, which can further ensure that the sterilization module 30 is securely fixed on the heat exchanger 10, avoiding problems such as falling off or shaking.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the second hooks 42 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the second hooks 42 can be as follows: Figure 10 Two are shown, but there may be three, four, five, six or more, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7As shown, the first hook 41 and the second hook 42 are both located between the first heat exchange tube 111 and the second heat exchange tube 112, or the first hook 41 and the second hook 42 are respectively located on the side of the first heat exchange tube 111 and the second heat exchange tube 112 away from each other, both of which can ensure that the sterilization module 30 is reliably fixed on the heat exchanger 10, and the assembly position of the sterilization module 30 can be set according to actual conditions to meet different placement requirements of the sterilization module 30.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 8-10 As shown, the housing 31 is provided with an escape hole 312, and an elastic arm 313 is provided in the escape hole 312. The first hook 41 and the elastic arm 313 are in the thickness direction (for example Figure 8 When the sterilization module 30 is installed, the first hook 41 can be elastically deformed under the drive of the elastic arm 313, so that the first hook 41 is connected to the first heat exchange tube 111, making assembly convenient and helping to improve assembly efficiency.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 8-10 As shown, the sterilization module 30 also includes a limiter 33, which is opposite to the avoidance hole 312 and is connected to the outer shell 31. The limiter 33 can block the first hook 41 from moving in the direction of separating from the heat exchange tube 11, so that the limiter 33 can limit the first hook 41 to prevent the first hook 41 from falling off due to external force, thereby further improving the connection stability between the sterilization module 30 and the heat exchanger 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first hooks 41 are arranged in a plurality of spaces along the width direction of the heat exchanger 10, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, there are multiple limiting members 33, and the multiple limiting members 33 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first hooks 41. The multiple limiting members 33 can limit the multiple first hooks 41 respectively to ensure that the sterilization module 30 is securely fixed on the heat exchanger 10.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 8-10As shown, one end of the stopper 33 is rotatably connected to the housing 31, and the other end of the stopper 33 is snap-connected to the housing 31. The stopper 33 can abut against the end face of the elastic arm 313 in the thickness direction away from the first hook 41. Therefore, when the first hook 41 is snap-connected to the first heat exchange tube 111, the stopper 33 is rotated toward the elastic arm 313 and the other end of the stopper 33 is snap-connected to the housing 31. This fixes the stopper 33 to the housing 60. The stopper 33 can limit the elastic arm 313, thereby limiting the position of the first hook 41 located on the elastic arm 313 and preventing the first hook 41 from falling off. The stopper 33 can rotate relative to the housing 31 to abut against the elastic arm 313, making assembly convenient and improving assembly efficiency.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 8-10 As shown, the limiting member 33 includes a support plate 331 and a support rib 332. One end of the support plate 331 is rotatably connected to the shell 31, and the other end of the support plate 331 is snap-connected to the shell 31. The support rib 332 is provided on one side of the support plate 331 in the thickness direction, and the support rib 332 can be offset against the elastic arm 313. The support rib 332 can improve the structural strength of the limiting member 33 and avoid deformation of the limiting member 33. At the same time, the support rib 332 can effectively limit the elastic arm 313 to ensure reliable limitation. The structure of the limiting member 33 is simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, support ribs 332 are provided on both end surfaces of the support plate 331 in the thickness direction, which can effectively improve the structural strength of the support plate 331, thereby further improving the structural strength of the limiting member 33, avoiding deformation and other problems, and ensuring reliable limitation of the elastic arm 313.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, there can be multiple support ribs 332 (greater than or equal to two), and multiple support ribs 332 are arranged at intervals on the support plate 331. The multiple support ribs 332 can improve the structural strength of the limiting member 33, avoid deformation and other problems, and facilitate the elastic arm 313 to offset the multiple support ribs 332, ensuring reliable limitation of the elastic arm 313.

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figures 8-10As shown, a buckle 333 is provided on the other end of the limit member 33, and a slot 314 is provided on the shell 60. Through the cooperation between the buckle 333 and the slot 314, the other end of the limit member 33 can be fixed on the shell 60, so that the limit member 33 can reliably limit the elastic arm 313, and the structure is simple, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, and is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0074] For example, in some embodiments, when the sterilization module 30 needs to be installed, first ensure that the limiter 33 is not engaged with the shell 31, then insert the second hook 42 into the fin 12 of the heat exchanger 10 and engage it on the second heat exchange tube 112, then press the first hook 41 to insert it into the fin 12 and engage it on the first heat exchange tube 111, rotate the limiter 33 so that the buckle 333 engages with the slot 314, and at this time the support rib 332 presses on the elastic arm 313, so that the limiter 33 can limit the elastic arm 313, avoiding the problem that the first hook 41 is elastically deformed and easily separated from the first heat exchange tube 111, thereby ensuring that the sterilization module 30 is securely fixed on the heat exchanger 10.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the limit member 33 and the shell 31 are an integrated part, which can ensure that the limit member 33 is reliably connected to the shell 31, is simple to manufacture, has high connection strength, reduces the assembly process, and has high production efficiency. At the same time, it can avoid the loss of the limit member 33, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7-10 As shown, the sterilization component 32 includes a circuit board 321 and a sterilization lamp body 322. The circuit board 321 is provided on the housing 31, and the sterilization lamp body 322 is provided on the circuit board 321, so that the housing 31 can fix the sterilization component 32. The circuit board 321 can provide power and control signals for the sterilization lamp body 322, and the sterilization lamp body 322 is located on the side of the circuit board 321 facing the heat exchanger 10 (for example, Figure 5 ), so that the sterilizing light emitted by the sterilizing lamp body 322 can sterilize the air and the inside of the heat exchanger 10, ensuring a good sterilization effect.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the germicidal lamp body 322 is an ultraviolet germicidal lamp. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp has a good sterilization effect and can quickly kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the air, ensuring a good sterilization effect, which is beneficial to improving the air quality flowing out of the air conditioner 100 and ensuring the health of the user.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2-Figure 8As shown, the air conditioner 100 further includes a heat exchanger bracket 50 , and the heat exchanger 10 is arranged on the heat exchanger bracket 50 , which can support and fix the heat exchanger 10 and meet the installation requirements of the heat exchanger 10 .

[0079] In addition, if Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 13 As shown, a wire groove 51 is provided on the heat exchanger bracket 50, and the wiring harness 34 of the sterilization module 30 is passed through the wire groove 51. The wire harness 34 can be placed through the wire groove 51, ensuring that the wire harness 34 is stored in an orderly manner, avoiding the wire harness 34 from being disorderly, which is beneficial to improving the overall aesthetics and safety, and facilitating the connection between the wire harness 34 and the external structure (such as the main control board of the air conditioner 100), avoiding problems such as damage to the wire harness 34.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 13 As shown, a stop portion 52 is provided on the groove wall of the wire groove 51, which can prevent the wire harness 34 from moving in a direction away from the groove bottom wall of the wire groove 51, and can prevent the wire harness 34 from escaping from the wire groove 51, thereby ensuring the installation reliability and stability of the wire harness 34.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific structure of the stop portion 52 can be set according to actual conditions.

[0082] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 13 As shown, a stop portion 52 is provided on one end of at least one of the two side walls of the wire trough 51 away from the bottom wall of the wire trough 51, and the stop portion 52 extends along the width direction of the wire trough 51.

The structure is simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0083] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 13 As shown, a stop portion 52 is provided on both side walls of the wire groove 51. The two stop portions 52 extend in a direction close to each other. The wire harness 34 is passed between the two stop portions 52. The two stop portions 52 can limit the wire harness 34, effectively preventing the wire harness 34 from falling out. The structure is simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 13 As shown, there can be multiple (greater than or equal to two) stop portions 52, and the multiple stop portions 52 are spaced apart along the length direction of the wire groove 51. The multiple stop portions 52 can limit multiple different positions in the length direction of the wire harness 34, thereby realizing the fixation requirements for the longer wire harness 34 and ensuring that the wire harness 34 is reliably fixed.

[0085] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 13 As shown, the heat exchanger support 50 includes a plurality of (greater than or equal to two) support bars 53, and the support bars 53 are arranged along the length direction of the heat exchanger 10 (for example, Figure 3 The plurality of support bars 53 extend in the width direction of the heat exchanger 10 (eg, the vertical direction shown in FIG). Figure 2 The support bars 53 are arranged at intervals (in the left and right directions shown in FIG). The support bars 53 enhance the structural strength of the heat exchanger bracket 50, prevent deformation and other problems, and ensure that the heat exchanger 10 is securely fixed to the heat exchanger bracket 50. Furthermore, wire ducts 51 are provided on the support bars 53 and extend along the length of the support bars 53, ensuring smooth passage of the wire harness 34 within the ducts 51. The ducts 51 also have a simple structure, making them easy to manufacture.

[0086] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 10 includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes 11 spaced apart in the height direction of the heat exchanger 10, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchanger 10 is connected to a connecting pipe 13 connected to the heat exchange tube 11, and the heat exchanger bracket 50 is also provided with a pipe clamp 72, which is connected to the heat exchanger bracket 50. The connecting pipe 13 is located between the pipe clamp 72 and the heat exchanger bracket 50. The pipe clamp 72 can limit the connecting pipe 13 to ensure that the connecting pipe 13 is securely fixed to the heat exchanger bracket 50.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a shell 60, and the heat exchanger 10, the air duct component 20 and the sterilization module 30 are all located in the shell 60. The shell 60 can protect the heat exchanger 10, the air duct component 20 and the sterilization module 30 to prevent the heat exchanger 10 from being exposed and damaged, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the heat exchanger 10.

[0088] In addition, the shell 60 has an air inlet 61 and two air outlets 62. The sterilization module 30 is opposite to the air inlet 61, and the two air outlets 62 are respectively connected to the first air duct and the second air duct. The air duct component 20 can drive the indoor air flow through the air inlet 61 into the shell 60. The sterilization module 30 located at the air inlet 61 can sterilize the air flow, and the air flow can exchange heat with the heat exchanger 10. After heat exchange, part of the air flow can flow out through the first air duct and the corresponding air outlet 62, and the other part of the air flow can flow out through the second air duct and the corresponding air outlet 62, which can increase the air outlet of the air conditioner 100 and effectively adjust the indoor temperature. At the same time, it ensures that the air flowing into the room is sterile, meeting the user's usage needs.

[0089] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shell 60 may include a top cover 601, a panel 604, a rear box 602 and a chassis 603. The top cover 601, the panel 604, the rear box 602 and the chassis 603 are interconnected, which can protect the internal structure of the air conditioner 100 and prevent the internal structure from being exposed and damaged, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the air conditioner 100 and has a better appearance.

[0090] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the sterilization module 30 is located between the heat exchanger 10 and the rear box 602, which can ensure that the sterilization module 30 sterilizes the air entering from the air inlet 61, ensuring a good purification and sterilization effect.

[0091] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, an air outlet frame 63 is provided in the shell 60, and the air outlet frame 63 and the shell 60 together define a heat exchange air duct, which is connected to the air inlet 61 and the air outlet 62. A heat exchanger 10 and an air duct component 20 are provided in the heat exchange channel. Along the flow direction of the airflow, the heat exchanger 10 is located upstream of the air duct component 20. The air duct component 20 can drive the indoor air flow through the air inlet 61 into the heat exchange air duct. The air flow in the heat exchange air duct can exchange heat with the heat exchanger 10. The air flow after heat exchange can be blown into the room through the air outlet 62, thereby adjusting the indoor temperature to meet the user's usage needs.

[0092] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a water collecting pan 71, which is located inside the shell 60 and below the heat exchanger 10. The water collecting pan 71 can collect condensed water dripping from the heat exchanger 10 and discharge it 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 100 and affecting the user's experience.
