Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The electric control box of the air conditioner is electrically connected to various controlled electrical components through a conductive wire harness. The controlled electrical components may include components that require automatic control, such as air supply motors, sensors or compressors. In the related art, the conductive wire harness is immediately fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure after being led out of the electric control box to prevent the conductive wire harness from shaking relative to the electric control box. However, when the electric control box needs to be inspected, the length of the conductive wire harness between the electric control box and the snap-fit ​​structure is relatively small. Therefore, when the operator disassembles the electric control box and flips it to a position convenient for inspection, on the one hand, the conductive wire harness will restrict the movement of the electric control box, and on the other hand, the movement of the electric control box will pull the conductive wire harness, and there is a risk of breaking the conductive wire harness. In summary, the inspection process of the electric control box in the related art is constrained by the conductive wire harness, and the inspection is relatively troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The electric control box of the air conditioner is electrically connected to various controlled electrical components through a conductive wire harness. The controlled electrical components may include components that require automatic control, such as air supply motors, sensors or compressors. In the related art, the conductive wire harness is immediately fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure after being led out of the electric control box to prevent the conductive wire harness from shaking relative to the electric control box. However, when the electric control box needs to be inspected, the length of the conductive wire harness between the electric control box and the snap-fit ​​structure is relatively small. Therefore, when the operator disassembles the electric control box and flips it to a position convenient for inspection, on the one hand, the conductive wire harness will restrict the movement of the electric control box, and on the other hand, the movement of the electric control box will pull the conductive wire harness, and there is a risk of breaking the conductive wire harness. In summary, the inspection process of the electric control box in the related art is constrained by the conductive wire harness, and the inspection is relatively troublesome.

[0050] On the other hand, during the production and installation of the electric control box and the conductive wiring harness, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the conductive wiring harness, the conductive wiring harness is fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure before the electric control box is installed. The operator plugs the wiring terminals of the conductive wiring harness into the electric control box before installing and fixing the electric control box. In order to facilitate the operator's manual operation of plugging the wiring terminals of the conductive wiring harness into the electric control box, a longer length of the end of the conductive wiring harness with the wiring terminals needs to be reserved to provide sufficient operating space. However, after the electric control box and the conductive wiring harness are connected, on the one hand, the reserved section of the conductive wiring harness will affect the installation of the electric control box. On the other hand, when the excess conductive wiring harness is curled and randomly stacked inside the air conditioner, the position arrangement of the conductive wiring harness will also become more messy.

[0051] For this reason, see Figures 1 to 8 The present invention provides an air conditioner 100, which includes a housing 110, an electric control assembly 120, and a controlled electric device 130. The housing 110 includes a housing body 111 and a first connecting structure 112 and a second connecting structure 113 connected to the housing body 111. Figure 7 and Figure 8The electric control assembly 120 includes an electric control box 121 connected to the shell main body 111 and an electrically conductive wire harness 122 including a first end portion 1221 and a second end portion 1222. The first end portion 1221 penetrates the first connecting structure 112 and is electrically connected to the electric control box 121. The portion of the electrically conductive wire harness 122 between the first end portion 1221 and the second end portion 1222 is connected to the second connecting structure 113. The controlled electrical device 130 is connected to the shell main body 111, and the second end portion 1222 is electrically connected to the controlled electrical device 130. The controlled electrical device 130 includes, but is not limited to, a compressor motor, a fan motor, a temperature controller, an overload protector, and an electric heater, etc. The electrically conductive wire harness 122 is configured to be able to disengage from the second connecting structure 113 and move relative to the first connecting structure 112 to lengthen the portion of the electrically conductive wire harness 122 between the first connecting structure 112 and the electric control box 121. It should be noted that the portion of the electrically conductive wire harness 122 between the electric control box 121 and the first connecting structure 112 can be considered as the first end portion 1221, which is a wire segment including one outer end of the electrically conductive wire harness 122. Similarly, the second end portion 1222 is a wire segment including the other outer end of the electrically conductive wire harness 122.

[0052] In particular, the shell 110 serves as the outer shell of the air conditioner 100, which can protect the internal components of the air conditioner 100 from the external environment. The shell main body 111 constitutes the main frame of the air conditioner 100, and the design of the first connecting structure 112 and the second connecting structure 113 allows the electrically conductive wire harness 122 to flexibly connect the electric control box 121 and the controlled electrical device 130 and transmit electrical signals between the electric control box 121 and the controlled electrical device 130. The electric control box 121 serves as the core of the control system and is responsible for processing various signals and control instructions. The first end portion 1221 of the electrically conductive wire harness 122 is connected to the electric control box 121 through the first connecting structure 112, and the second end portion 1222 is connected to the controlled electrical device 130, realizing signal transmission between the electric control box 121 and the controlled electrical device 130.

[0053] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8After being detached from the second connecting structure 113, the conductive wire harness 122 can move relative to the first connecting structure 112, thereby changing the length of the conductive wire harness 122. In this solution, when the electrical control box 121 needs to be repaired, the conductive wire harness 122 can be removed from the second connecting structure 113 and moved relative to the first connecting structure 112, thereby extending the length of the conductive wire harness 122 between the electrical control box 121 and the first connecting structure 112, making it easier to remove the electrical control box 121 and place it in a suitable repair position. Furthermore, during the installation process of the electrical control box 121, after the terminal block of the conductive wire harness 122 is connected to the electrical control box 121, the conductive wire harness 122 can be moved relative to the first connecting structure 112 to shorten the length of the conductive wire harness 122 between the electrical control box 121 and the first connecting structure 112. Furthermore, the excess wire segments of the conductive wire harness 122 can be fixed to the second connecting structure 113, effectively avoiding clutter in the wire harness.

[0054] It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, the first connecting structure 112 and the second connecting structure 113 may be designed in various forms, including but not limited to groove-shaped or snap-fit ​​designs, to ensure that the conductive harness 122 can be easily installed in the first connecting structure 112 and the second mounting structure. The design of the second connecting structure 113 not only enables efficient signal transmission in the air conditioner 100, but also provides greater flexibility when adjusting the internal component layout, thereby ensuring the reliability and maintainability of the air conditioner 100. This not only improves the practicality of the air conditioner 100, but also provides a better user experience.

[0055] See Figures 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the conductive wire harness 122 of the air conditioner 100 includes a first connecting portion 1223 and a second connecting portion 1224. The first connecting portion 1223 is connected to the first connecting structure 112, and the second connecting portion 1224 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 1223 facing away from the electrical control box 121. The conductive wire harness 122 is configured to be detachable from the second connecting structure 113 and to slide relative to the first connecting structure 112 until the first connecting portion 1223 detaches from the first connecting structure 112, at which point the second connecting portion 1224 connects to the first connecting structure 112. Specifically, the portion of the conductive wire harness 122 detached from the second connecting structure 113 moves toward the first connecting structure 112, causing the portion of the conductive wire originally located on the first connecting structure 112 to move toward the electrical control box 121. This allows the electrical control box 121 to move more freely relative to the first connecting structure 112, facilitating easier access for maintenance personnel.

[0056] Specifically, for ease of description, the conductive wire harness 122 in the electronic control assembly 120 of the air conditioner 100 is defined as having a first connection portion 1223 and a second connection portion 1224. During maintenance, in the initial state, the first connection structure 112 is connected to the first connection portion 1223, while the second connection portion 1224 is located on the side of the first connection structure 112 away from the electronic control box 121. When the conductive wire harness 122 attached to the second connection structure 113 partially detaches from the second connection structure 113 and moves toward the first connection structure 112, the first connection portion 1223 gradually detaches from the first connection structure 112 toward the electronic control box 121 until the second connection portion 1224 is located at the first connection structure 112, thereby adjusting the length of the conductive wire harness 122. After maintenance is complete or during assembly of the air conditioner 100, the first end portion 1221 of the conductive wire harness 122 moves toward the second connecting structure 113, and the second connecting portion 1224 gradually detaches from the first connecting structure 112 until the first connecting portion 1223 is located at the first connecting structure 112. The conductive wire harness 122 on the side of the first connecting structure 112 away from the electrical control box 121 is then installed on the second connecting structure 113. It should be noted that the methods of installing the conductive wire harness 122 on the second connecting structure 113 include, but are not limited to, sleeved on the surface of the second connecting structure 113, snapped onto the second connecting structure 113, etc. In some embodiments, the movement of the conductive wire harness 122 relative to the first connecting structure 112 includes, but is not limited to, sliding, disengaging, and snapping.

[0057] Furthermore, if the controlled electrical components 130 need to be rearranged within the air conditioner 100, the new layout can be accommodated by adjusting the connection relationship between the conductive wire harness 122 and the first and second connecting structures 112, 113. After being detached from the second connecting structure 113, the conductive wire harness 122 can slide to change the position of the first connecting portion 1223, thereby lengthening or shortening the portion of the conductive wire harness 122 between the first connecting structure 112 and the electrical control box 121. This design not only simplifies the process of adjusting the internal components of the air conditioner 100 but also improves the convenience of maintenance and installation.

[0058] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the first connection portion 1223 is detachably connected to the first connection structure 112, and the second connection portion 1224 is located on a side of the first connection portion 1223 facing away from the electrical control box 121 and is adapted to be detachably connected to the first connection structure 112. The conductive wire harness 122 is configured to be detachable from the second connection structure 113, and the first connection portion 1223 is detachable from the first connection structure 112, while the second connection portion 1224 is connected to the first connection structure 112. Specifically, the conductive wire harness 122 includes a first connection portion 1223 and a second connection portion 1224, wherein the first connection portion 1223 is detachably connected to the first connection structure 112. When the position of the conductive harness 122 needs to be adjusted, the portion of the conductive harness 122 located at the second connection structure 113 is first separated from the second connection structure 113, and the first connection portion 1223 can be removed from the first connection structure 112, and then the second connection portion 1224 is connected to the first connection structure 112, thereby adjusting the position of the conductive harness 122. This design allows the position of the conductive harness 122 to be easily adjusted as needed during installation or maintenance, avoiding problems caused by insufficient or redundant length of the conductive harness 122. It should be noted that if there is still excess length after the conductive harness 122 is installed in the second connection structure 113, the conductive harness 122 can be wound around the surface of the second connection structure 113 and fixed.

[0059] In some embodiments, the distance between the first connection portion 1223 and the second connection portion 1224 is L, where L satisfies L≥10 cm, ensuring that the conductive wire bundle 122 has sufficient length margin when connecting and disassembling, so as to facilitate operations during installation and maintenance, and to avoid damage to the conductive wire bundle 122 due to excessive stretching.

[0060] Specifically, the first connection portion 1223 of the conductive wire harness 122 is connected to the first connection structure 112, while the second connection portion 1224 is located on the side of the first connection portion 1223 away from the electrical control box 121. This allows the conductive wire harness 122 to be detached from the second connection structure 113 when needed and to slide or detach relative to the first connection structure 112 to adjust the length of the conductive wire harness 122 between the electrical control box 121 and the first connection structure 112. When the distance between the first connection portion 1223 and the second connection portion 1224 of the conductive wire harness 122 is at least 10 centimeters, the layout of the conductive wire harness 122 within the air conditioner 100 is more flexible, helping to avoid the problem of the conductive wire harness 122 stretching when adjusting the position of the controlled electrical device 130.

[0061] In addition to facilitating maintenance installation, the conductive wire harness 122 can better adapt to changes in position between different components inside the air conditioner 100, ensuring that the conductive wire harness 122 can maintain proper slack in various situations, preventing breakage or poor contact due to excessive stretching. In addition, the longer spacing also helps to improve the maintainability of the conductive wire harness 122, which can be more easily disassembled and reinstalled when maintenance or replacement is required.

[0062] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the distance L between the first connecting portion 1223 and the second connecting portion 1224 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different installation and maintenance needs. Exemplarily, the spacing L between the first connecting portion 1223 and the second connecting portion 1224 can be 10 cm, 12 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm, 20 cm, etc. The air conditioner 100 of the present application not only can effectively transmit signals, but also can provide greater flexibility when the internal component layout needs to be adjusted, ensuring the reliability and maintainability of the air conditioner 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, the direction from the electric control box 121 to the first connecting structure 112 is defined as the first direction X, and the second connecting structure 113 is located on one side of the first connecting structure 112 along the first direction X. Specifically, the electric control box 121 is arranged on the shell main body 111, and the first end portion 1221 of the conductive wire harness 122 passes through the first connecting structure 112 and is electrically connected with the electric control box 121. The second connecting structure 113 is arranged on one side of the first connecting structure 112 along the first direction X, so that the conductive wire harness 122 forms a certain running direction between the first connecting structure 112 and the second connecting structure 113, so that the movement of the conductive wire harness 122 relative to the first connecting structure 112 is more smooth, avoiding the occurrence of corners affecting the movement efficiency of the conductive wire harness 122 or even causing damage to the conductive wire harness 122.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the second connection structure 113 is located on one side of the first connection structure 112 along the first direction X, and the controlled electrical device 130 is located between the second connection structure 113 and the first connection structure 112. It should be noted that the plane coinciding with the line connecting the first connection structure 112 and the second connection structure 113 is defined as the projection plane. If the projection of the controlled electrical device 130 on the projection plane is located between the first connection structure 112 and the second connection structure 113, then the controlled electrical device 130 can be considered to be located between the second connection structure 113 and the first connection structure 112. In other embodiments, if the projection of the second end portion 1222 of the conductive wire bundle 122 connecting the controlled electrical device 130 on the projection plane is located between the first connection structure 112 and the second connection structure 113, then the controlled electrical device 130 can be considered to be located between the second connection structure 113 and the first connection structure 112. In this way, when the first end 1221 of the conductive wire bundle 122 moves relative to the first connecting structure 112, the possibility of the second end 1222 being pulled due to the relative movement of the first end 1221 can be reduced or even avoided, thereby avoiding the problem of connection failure between the second end 1222 and the controlled electrical device 130.

[0065] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the housing 111 of the air conditioner 100 includes a base plate 114 having a first mounting area 1141 and a second mounting area 1142 arranged along a first direction X. The air conditioner 100 also includes a first heat exchanger 140. The electrical control box 121 is located in the first mounting area 1141, and the first heat exchanger 140 is located in the second mounting area 1142. The first heat exchanger 140 is at least partially located on a side of the second mounting area 1142 near the first mounting area 1141. The first connecting structure 112 is located on a side of the first mounting area 1141 near the second mounting area 1142 and is connected to the first heat exchanger 140. Specifically, the first mounting area 1141 is used to house the electrical control box 121, which is responsible for controlling the operation of the controlled electrical components 130. The second mounting area 1142 is used to house the first heat exchanger 140, which is responsible for exchanging heat with the air to achieve the cooling or heating functions of the air conditioner 100. The first heat exchanger 140 is positioned so that it partially extends to a side near the first mounting area 1141, facilitating coordinated operation with the electronic control assembly 120 and other components. This also makes the assembly of the electronic control assembly 120 and the first heat exchanger 140 more compact, thereby improving the utilization of the internal space of the air conditioner 100 and helping to reduce the overall volume of the air conditioner 100.

[0066] The first connecting structure 112 is located on the side of the first mounting area 1141 close to the second mounting area 1142 and is directly connected to the first heat exchanger 140. Such a design ensures that the conductive wire bundle 122 can extend from the electric control box 121 to the first heat exchanger 140, while realizing the storage and fixation of the conductive wire bundle 122 through the first connecting structure 112, avoiding other structural members from hanging or scratching the conductive wire bundle 122 and causing the connection between the conductive wire bundle 122 and the electric control box 121 to fail. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the relative position design between the first heat exchanger 140 and the electric control box 121 aims to optimize the space utilization efficiency inside the air conditioner 100 and ensure more efficient signal transmission and energy conversion between various components. By placing the first heat exchanger 140 partially close to the first mounting area 1141, the length of the conductive wire bundle 122 can be reduced, the signal transmission loss can be reduced, and maintenance can be facilitated.

[0067] In some embodiments, the controlled electrical device 130 of the air conditioner 100 includes a first air supply assembly 131 arranged in the second mounting area 1142 and used to drive airflow to exchange heat with the first heat exchanger 140. The shell body 111 further includes a fan shell 115 arranged in the first mounting area 1141, the first air supply assembly 131 is arranged in the fan shell 115, and the second connecting structure 113 is connected to the side of the fan shell 115 away from the bottom plate 114.

[0068] Specifically, the first air supply assembly 131 as one of the controlled electrical devices 130, its main function is to drive airflow through the first heat exchanger 140 to realize cooling or heating of the air conditioner 100. The first air supply assembly 131 is arranged in the second mounting area 1142 and closely cooperates with the first heat exchanger 140 to ensure that the airflow can efficiently exchange heat with the heat exchanger. The fan shell 115 is arranged in the second mounting area 1142 and internally accommodates the first air supply assembly 131, which plays a protective and fixed role, avoiding interference of other structural members with the operation of the fan or even causing damage to other structural members by the rotating fan. The second connecting structure 113 is connected to the side of the fan shell 115 away from the bottom plate 114, ensuring wiring while avoiding interference of the conductive wire bundle 122 with the operation of the first air supply assembly 131.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the housing 110 further includes a plurality of third connection structures 116. These third connection structures 116 are disposed between the first connection structure 112 and the second connection structure 113 and are connected to the side of the fan housing 115 facing away from the base plate 114. The conductive wire harness 122 is connected to each third connection structure 116 and is configured to be movable relative to the third connection structure 116. Specifically, the housing 110 of the air conditioner 100 includes a plurality of third connection structures 116. These connection structures are distributed between the first connection structure 112 and the second connection structure 113 and are connected to the side of the fan housing 115 facing away from the base plate 114. The presence of the third connection structures 116 allows the conductive wire harness 122 to be connected and adjusted through these connection points when connecting to the first connection structure 112 and the second connection structure 113. This allows the conductive wire harness 122 to be more compactly fixed to the fan housing 115, improving both operational convenience and aesthetics. The conductive wire harness 122 can be detached from the second connecting structure 113 and move relative to the third connecting structure 116, which facilitates adjustment of the length and position of the conductive wire harness 122, thereby facilitating assembly and maintenance of various internal components of the air conditioner 100 and better adapting to different layout requirements of the internal components of the air conditioner 100. In some embodiments, the third connecting structure 116 can be in the form of a wire groove or a buckle.

[0070] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further comprises a second heat exchanger 150 connected to the first heat exchanger 140, and the bottom plate 114 has a third mounting area 1143 in which the second heat exchanger 150 is arranged. The direction from the first mounting area 1141 to the second mounting area 1142 is the first direction X, and the direction from the second mounting area 1142 to the third mounting area 1143 is the second direction Y, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are arranged in a cross manner. The number of the controlled electrical devices 130 is multiple, and the second mounting area 1142 and the third mounting area 1143 each has at least one controlled electrical device 130 arranged therein. Specifically, the shell body 111 of the air conditioner 100 comprises the bottom plate 114, which is divided into the first mounting area 1141, the second mounting area 1142 and the third mounting area 1143 inside the air conditioner 100. The first mounting area 1141 is used for arranging the electric control box 121, the second mounting area 1142 is used for mounting the first heat exchanger 140, and the third mounting area 1143 is used for mounting the second heat exchanger 150. The first heat exchanger 140 and the second heat exchanger 150 together form a heat exchange system inside the air conditioner 100. The first heat exchanger 140 is at least partially located on the side of the second mounting area 1142 close to the first mounting area 1141, and the second heat exchanger 150 is arranged in the third mounting area 1143, so as to ensure that the two heat exchangers can effectively work together. In some embodiments, the first heat exchanger 140 can be an evaporator, and the second heat exchanger 150 can be a condenser. The first air supply assembly 131 and the first heat exchanger 140 are both arranged in the second mounting area 1142, so that the first air supply assembly 131 can guide air to the first heat exchanger 140, and the air exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 140 to reduce its temperature, thereby achieving the refrigeration effect. The second heat exchanger 150 arranged in the third mounting area 1143 can radiate heat and cool the high-temperature and high-pressure steam discharged by the compressor, thereby cooperating with the first heat exchanger 140 to achieve continuous refrigeration of the air conditioner 100.

[0071] See Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the housing 110 of the air conditioner 100 further includes a fourth connecting structure 117. Along the first direction X, the fourth connecting structure 117 is located between the first connecting structure 112 and the second connecting structure 113. Along the second direction Y, the fourth connecting structure 117 is located on the side of the first and second connecting structures 112, 113 near the third mounting area 1143. The second end portion 1222 is connected to the fourth connecting structure 117 at one end and to each controlled electrical component 130 located within the third mounting area 1143 at the other end. It should be noted that the specific length of the second end portion 1222 depends on actual needs. In some embodiments, the portion of the conductive wire bundle 122 located between the fourth connecting structure 117 and the controlled electrical component 130 is defined as the second end portion 1222 of the conductive wire bundle 122. In some embodiments, the fourth connecting structure 117 may be a groove-shaped structure, and the conductive wire bundle 122 can be accommodated within the groove. In other embodiments, the fourth connection structure 117 may also be a buckle-shaped structure, and the conductive wire bundle 122 can be buckled in the buckle to achieve fixation.

[0072] Specifically, the housing 110 of the air conditioner 100 is designed with a fourth connecting structure 117. This connecting structure is positioned between the first connecting structure 112 and the second connecting structure 113 along the first direction X, and on the side of the first and second connecting structures 112, 113 near the third mounting area 1143 along the second direction Y. This design ensures that the conductive harness 122 can flexibly connect to the various controlled electrical components 130 within the third mounting area 1143 and can move relative to the fourth connecting structure 117 to facilitate installation and maintenance. The provision of the fourth connecting structure 117 allows the conductive harness 122 to better adapt to the positional changes of different components within the air conditioner 100, enhancing the maintainability and expandability of the air conditioner 100. In addition, since the second connecting structure 113 and the first connecting structure 112 are located in the first direction X, and the fourth connecting structure 117 is located in the second direction Y intersecting with the first direction X, when the first end 1221 of the conductive wire bundle 122 moves relative to the first connecting structure 112, the movement of the first end 1221 of the conductive wire bundle 122 and the part between the first connecting structure 112 and the second connecting structure 113 has a reduced or even eliminated effect on the second end 1222, which is beneficial to reducing the probability of connection failure between the conductive wire bundle 122 and the controlled electrical device 130, and even avoiding the situation where the connection between the conductive wire bundle 122 and the controlled electrical device 130 fails.

[0073] See also Figure 1In some embodiments, the housing body 111 further includes a first cover 118 and a second cover 119, each connected to the bottom plate 114. The first cover 118 and the bottom plate 114 together define a second mounting area 1142, and the second cover 119 and the bottom plate 114 together define a third mounting area 1143. The bottom plate 114 defines a wiring groove 1144 that connects the second mounting area 1142 and the third mounting area 1143. The conductive wire harness 122 is disposed in the wiring groove 1144.

[0074] Specifically, the housing 111 of the air conditioner 100 is composed of a base plate 114, a first cover 118, and a second cover 119. These components together define three mounting areas within the air conditioner 100: a first mounting area 1141, a second mounting area 1142, and a third mounting area 1143. The first cover 118 and the base plate 114 together define the second mounting area 1142 for mounting the first heat exchanger 140. The second cover 119 and the base plate 114 together define the third mounting area 1143 for mounting the second heat exchanger 150. The independent arrangement of the first cover 118 and the second cover 119 isolates the first heat exchanger 140 from the second heat exchanger 150, thereby preventing interference between the first and second heat exchangers 140, 150, which could reduce the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner 100. In addition, the first cover 118 protects the first heat exchanger 140, and the second cover 119 protects the second heat exchanger 150. When repairing the air conditioner 100, the first cover 118 or the second cover 119 can be removed according to the actual location to be repaired. This ensures that the parts of the air conditioner 100 that do not require repair are still protected by the cover, reducing the probability of damage to the parts of the air conditioner 100 that do not require repair during the repair process. At the same time, this design also ensures that the various components within the air conditioner 100 are reasonably distributed, which is beneficial for airflow guidance and equipment maintenance.

[0075] It should be noted that the gap between the first cover 118 and the second cover 119 is also conducive to the installation of the air conditioner 100. For example, the air conditioner 100 of the present application can be installed on the ceiling of a building. In order to improve the structural stability of the ceiling of the building, the ceiling includes a top plate and a top beam. The top plate is connected to the top beam, and the top beam can provide support for the top plate. Therefore, the gap between the first cover 118 and the second cover 119 of the air conditioner 100 can avoid the top beam, thereby improving the installation convenience of the air conditioner 100. The air conditioner 100 of the present application can be applied to a variety of scenarios, including but not limited to kitchens, warehouses, laboratories, exhibition halls, museums, office buildings and other scenarios.

[0076] A wiring groove 1144 is provided on the base plate 114, and the wiring groove 1144 can connect the second installation area 1142 and the third installation area 1143. The conductive wire harness 122 is passed through the wiring groove 1144, so that the conductive wire harness 122 can smoothly transmit signals between the second installation area 1142 and the third installation area 1143. At the same time, the design of the wiring groove 1144 reduces the space occupied by the conductive wire harness 122 inside the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space.

[0077] It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, wiring trough 1144 is not limited to routing conductive wire harness 122 but can also protect conductive wire harness 122 from damage due to external compression or friction. Specifically, the position and shape of wiring trough 1144 match the layout of components within second mounting area 1142 and third mounting area 1143, ensuring that conductive wire harness 122 can pass through smoothly without interfering with the operation of other components.

[0078] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly. When a directional reference is introduced in a specific embodiment, if the direction is not specifically limited to unidirectional, the direction can be unidirectional or bidirectional (two directions parallel to each other and opposite to each other). Whether it is unidirectional or bidirectional is based on what a person of ordinary skill in the art can achieve. When the directional reference is bidirectional, it should be considered that two different embodiments are introduced in parallel.

[0079] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, if "and / or", "and / or" or "and / or" appear in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or solutions that satisfy both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0080] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
