[0042] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0043] In combination Figures 1-7 As shown, the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, which comprises an indoor unit and an outdoor unit connected. The indoor unit comprises a shell, an indoor heat exchanger, a water pan 101, a switch assembly 102, and a mounting assembly.

[0044] The mounting assembly comprises a mounting plate 10 and a connecting piece 104.

[0045] The shell defines an air duct, and the mounting plate is arranged in the shell.

[0046] Optionally, the mounting plate and the shell are in an integral structure, which can simplify the structure of the air conditioner.

[0047] The indoor heat exchanger is arranged in the air duct; the water pan 101 corresponds to the indoor heat exchanger and comprises a first water receiving part 1011 and a second water receiving part 1012.

[0048] The switch assembly 102 comprises a float switch 1021, and the switch assembly 102 is arranged on the connecting piece. One of the connecting piece and the mounting plate is provided with a sliding shaft, and the other is provided with a sliding track. The sliding shaft is arranged in the sliding track and can slide relative to the sliding track.

[0049] The sliding shaft is matched with the sliding track. The sliding shaft is arranged in the sliding track and can slide relative to the sliding track. Therefore, the switch assembly can slide relative to the mounting plate 10 along with the connecting piece between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the float switch 1021 is arranged in the water pan 101, and in the second position, the float switch 1021 is arranged outside the water pan 101. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the float switch 1021 is arranged corresponding to the first water receiving part 1011, and in the second position, the float switch 1021 is arranged corresponding to the second water receiving part 1012. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the float switch 1021 is arranged corresponding to the second water receiving part 1012.

[0050] Optionally, a sliding rail is arranged on the mounting plate, and the sliding rail constitutes an observation part. A sliding shaft is arranged corresponding to the observation part 30, and the position of the switch assembly 102 can be observed through the observation part 30, so that the installation position of the switch assembly 102 can be observed through the observation part 30, thereby timely discovering whether the installation position of the switch assembly 102 has been changed according to the installation state (flat installation or vertical installation) of the indoor unit, and avoiding the situation that the installation state of the switch assembly 102 is forgotten to be adjusted.

[0051] The water receiving tray 101 is arranged corresponding to the indoor heat exchanger, for example, arranged below the indoor heat exchanger, and used for receiving the condensate water generated by the indoor heat exchanger. The water receiving tray 101 comprises the first water receiving part 1011 and the second water receiving part 1012, and one side of the first water receiving part 1011 and one side of the second water receiving part 1012 are connected and the connection forms an included angle. When the indoor unit is flatly installed, the first water receiving part 1011 is located below the indoor heat exchanger and used for collecting the condensate water generated by the indoor heat exchanger. When the indoor unit is vertically installed, the second water receiving part 1012 is located below the indoor heat exchanger and used for collecting the condensate water generated by the indoor heat exchanger. The arrangement of the first water receiving part 1011 and the second water receiving part 1012 makes the water receiving tray 101 be able to receive the condensate water when the indoor unit is in different installation states, so that the water receiving tray 101 can meet the requirement of the installation state (flat installation or vertical installation) of the indoor unit.

[0052] The first water receiving part 1011 defines a first water receiving groove, and in the first position, the float switch 1021 is located in the first water receiving groove. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the float switch 1021 is located in the first water receiving groove; the second water receiving part 1012 defines a second water receiving groove, and in the second position, the float switch 1021 is located in the second water receiving groove. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the float switch 1021 is located in the second water receiving groove.

[0053] The indoor unit further comprises a water pump, and the water pump is connected with the switch assembly 102. When the water level of the condensate water in the first water receiving groove or the second water receiving groove reaches the float switch 1021, the float switch 1021 works, and the water pump is started to start drainage and discharge the condensate water.

[0054] As shown, the float switch 1021 is located in the second water receiving groove. Figure 7As shown, the mounting assembly further comprises a connecting member 104, which is arranged on the mounting plate 10 and can slide relative to the mounting plate 10 between the first position and the second position through the cooperation of the sliding shaft and the sliding track. The float switch 1021 is fixedly arranged on the connecting member 104, so that the float switch 1021 can move with the connecting member 104 relative to the mounting plate 10 between the first position and the second position.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 7 As shown, the connecting member 104 comprises a first connecting portion 1041, a second connecting portion 1042 and a third connecting portion 1043. The sliding shaft or the sliding track is arranged on the first connecting portion, so that the first connecting portion 1041 is in sliding connection with the mounting plate 10 and can slide relative to the mounting plate 10 between the first position and the second position. The float switch 1021 is arranged on the second connecting portion 1042 and is fixedly connected with the second connecting portion 1042, for example, by screws or clamping. The third connecting portion 1043 is arranged between the first connecting portion 1041 and the second connecting portion 1042. The third connecting portion 1043 is connected with the first connecting portion 1041 and the connection is arranged at an angle, forming a first bend. The third connecting portion 1043 is connected with the second connecting portion 1042 and the connection forms a second bend. The second connecting portion 1042 and the third connecting portion 1043 are located on the same plane, and the first connecting portion 1041 and the second connecting portion 1042 are not located on the same plane.

[0056] When the indoor unit is in the flat installation state, the switch assembly 102 is located in one of the first position and the second position. When the indoor unit is in the vertical installation state, the switch assembly 102 is located in the other of the first position and the second position. In this way, no matter whether the indoor unit is in the flat installation state or the vertical installation state, the float switch 1021 can work normally.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the sliding track 301 is arranged on the mounting plate and penetrates the mounting plate 10. The sliding shaft 106 extends out of the sliding track 301.

[0058] The sliding track 301 penetrates the mounting plate 10, and the sliding shaft 106 extends out of the sliding track 301 from the inner side of the mounting plate 10, so that the sliding track 301 makes it more convenient to observe the position of the sliding shaft 106. Therefore, when the installation state of the indoor unit is changed, the position and the angle of the switch assembly 102 can be observed through the sliding track 301 without the need to disassemble the mounting plate 10. Moreover, the position of the sliding shaft 106 can be manually adjusted through the sliding track 301, so that the maintenance personnel can adjust the installation position of the sliding shaft 106 without disassembling the mounting plate 10, thereby adjusting the position of the switch assembly 102 to make the position of the switch assembly 102 suitable for the installation state of the indoor unit.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 1,Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the sliding shaft 106 is at least partially located in the sliding track 301 and can slide relative to the sliding track 301. The sliding track 301 extends in a direction from a first position to a second position and includes a first end 3012 and a second end 3011 arranged along the extension direction. When the sliding shaft 106 moves to the first end 3012 relative to the sliding track 301, the switch assembly 102 is located in the first position. When the sliding shaft 106 moves to the second end 3011 relative to the sliding track 301, the switch assembly 102 is located in the second position.

[0060] The sliding rail 301 extends from the first position to the second position, the first position corresponds to the first end 3012 of the sliding rail 301, the second position corresponds to the second end 3011 of the sliding rail 301, and the first end 3012 and the second end 3011 are opposite ends in the length direction of the sliding rail 301.

[0061] The sliding shaft 106 slides relative to the sliding rail 301 in the sliding rail 301. During the movement of the sliding shaft 106 along the length direction of the sliding rail 301 toward the first end 3012 of the sliding rail 301, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, when the sliding shaft 106 abuts against the first end 3012 of the sliding track 301, the switch assembly 102 is located in the first position, and the first end 3012 limits the sliding shaft 106 from continuing to move in the direction from the second end 3011 to the first end 3012 after reaching the first end 3012, thereby limiting the sliding shaft 106, so that the switch assembly 102 can be stably located in the first position.

[0062] When the sliding shaft 106 moves along the length direction of the sliding track 301 toward the second end 3011 of the sliding track 301, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, when the sliding shaft 106 abuts against the second end 3011 of the sliding rail 301, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the switch assembly 102 is located in the second position, and the second end 3011 limits the sliding shaft 106 from continuing to move in the direction from the first end 3012 to the second end 3011 after reaching the second end 3011, thereby limiting the sliding shaft 106, so that the switch assembly 102 can be stably located in the second position.

[0063] Therefore, the first end 3012 and the second end 3011 of the sliding track 301 can limit the sliding shaft 106, thereby limiting the switch assembly 102, restricting the switch assembly 102 to move only between the first position and the second position.

[0064] The size of the sliding rail 301 is matched with the size of the sliding shaft 106, so that the sliding rail 301 can also guide the sliding shaft 106 to slide along the extension direction (i.e. the length direction) of the sliding rail 301 relative to the sliding rail 301 when the sliding shaft 106 slides in the sliding rail 301.

[0065] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the mounting assembly further comprises a positioning member 107. The sliding shaft 106 is arranged in the sliding rail 301 and can slide relative to the sliding rail 301; the positioning member 107 is located on the side of the sliding rail 301 away from the switch assembly 102, and the size of the positioning member 107 is greater than the size of the sliding rail 301 to avoid the positioning member 107 penetrating into the sliding rail 301.

[0066] The sliding shaft 106 penetrates the sliding rail 301, and the sliding rail 301 limits and guides the movement of the sliding shaft 106, limiting the sliding shaft 106 to move only in the sliding rail 301. By moving the sliding shaft 106 in the sliding rail 301, the position angle of the switch assembly 102 between the first position and the second position can be adjusted to meet the installation state of the indoor unit. The positioning member 107 is located on the side of the sliding rail 301 away from the switch assembly 102, and the positioning member 107 is connected with the sliding shaft 106. The size of the positioning member 107 is greater than the size of the sliding rail 301 to avoid the positioning member 107 penetrating into the sliding rail 301. The positioning member 107 abuts against the mounting plate 10 to limit the inward movement of the sliding shaft 106 relative to the mounting plate 10, thereby preventing the sliding shaft 106 from disengaging from the sliding rail 301.

[0067] The sliding shaft 106 and the positioning member 107 can be detachably connected. When the switch assembly 102 is mounted on the mounting plate 10, the sliding shaft 106 is inserted into the sliding rail 301 first, and then the positioning member 107 is arranged on the sliding shaft 106.

[0068] For example, the sliding shaft 106 and the positioning member 107 are threadedly connected, which is low in cost and simple in installation. The sliding shaft 106 can be in the form of a screw, and the positioning member 107 can be in the form of a nut.

[0069] For another example, the sliding shaft 106 and the positioning member 107 are snap-connected or screw-connected, etc.

[0070] It can be understood that the sliding shaft 106 and the positioning member 107 can also be non-detachably connected, such as welding.

[0071] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in the case that the sliding rail is arranged on the mounting plate, the connecting piece is provided with a water blocking part 20 corresponding to the sliding rail 301 and covering the sliding rail 301.

[0072] The water blocking part 20 moves with the switch assembly 102 relative to the mounting plate 10 and always covers the sliding rail 301 to prevent the condensed water in the water pan 101 from flowing out of the sliding rail 301.

[0073] Optionally, the water blocking part 20 comprises a first water blocking rib 201 and a second water blocking rib 202; in the first position, as shown in Figure 1 the first water blocking rib 201 corresponds to the sliding rail 301 to cover the sliding rail 301, and in the second position, as shown in Figure 5 the second water blocking rib 202 corresponds to the sliding rail 301 to cover the sliding rail 301.

[0074] One end of the first water blocking rib 201 is connected to the first connecting part 1041 and the connection forms an included angle, one end of the second water blocking rib 202 is connected to the first connecting part 1041 and the connection forms an included angle, and the first water blocking rib 201 and the second water blocking rib 202 are arranged on opposite sides of the first connecting part 1041 respectively. The shapes of the first water blocking rib 201 and the second water blocking rib 202 are similar to the shape of the sliding rail 301, and the sizes of the first water blocking rib 201 and the second water blocking rib 202 are equal to or greater than the size of the sliding rail 301, so that the first water blocking rib 201 and the second water blocking rib 202 can completely cover the sliding rail 301.

[0075] When the switch assembly 102 moves to the first position, as shown in Figure 1 the first water blocking rib 201 corresponds to the sliding rail 301, and the first water blocking rib 201 covers the sliding rail 301 to prevent the condensed water in the water pan 101 from flowing out through the sliding rail 301; when the switch assembly 102 moves to the second position, as shown in Figure 5 the second water blocking rib 202 corresponds to the sliding rail 301, and the second water blocking rib 202 covers the sliding rail 301 to prevent the condensed water in the water pan 101 from flowing out through the sliding rail 301.

[0076] Optionally, a rotating shaft 40 is arranged between the connecting piece and the mounting plate 10 to enable the connecting piece to rotate relative to the mounting plate 10 about the axis of the rotating shaft 40 between the first position and the second position. For example, the first connecting part and the corresponding position of the mounting plate are provided with mounting holes, and the rotating shaft is arranged in the mounting holes to realize the rotational connection between the connecting piece and the mounting plate 10 through the rotating shaft.

[0077] The rotating shaft 40 connects the connecting piece 104 and the mounting plate 10 to enable the connecting piece 104 to rotate about the axis of the rotating shaft 40, thereby enabling the switch assembly 102 to move about the axis of the rotating shaft 40.

[0078] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting assembly further includes a first locking portion 501 and a second locking portion 502 , wherein the second locking portion 502 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 40 , and the second locking portion 502 is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 40 to prevent the rotating shaft 40 from falling off.

[0079] The mounting hole provided on the connector 104 is designated as the first axial hole 1044, and the mounting hole provided on the mounting plate 10 is designated as the second axial hole. Both the first axial hole 1044 and the second axial hole are adapted to mate with the rotating shaft 40, and the rotating shaft 40 passes through the first axial hole 1044 and the second axial hole. The rotating shaft 40 includes a first end and a second end. The first end passes through the second axial hole and is located outside the second axial hole, while the second end passes through the first axial hole 1044 and is located inside the first axial hole 1044. The first locking portion 501 is provided at the first end, and the second locking portion 502 is provided at the second end. The direction closer to the interior of the mounting plate 10 is considered inward, and the direction away from the interior of the mounting plate 10 is considered outward. The size of the first locking portion 501 is larger than the size of the second axial hole to prevent the rotating shaft 40 from slipping out of the second axial hole. The size of the second locking portion 502 is larger than the size of the first axial hole 1044 to prevent the rotating shaft 40 from slipping out of the first axial hole 1044.

[0080] The first locking portion 501 and the rotating shaft 40 may be connected in a non-detachable manner or in a detachable manner, such as a threaded connection, to facilitate installation of the rotating shaft 40 on the mounting plate 10. The second locking portion 502 and the rotating shaft 40 may be connected in a non-detachable manner or in a detachable manner, such as a threaded connection, to facilitate installation of the rotating shaft 40 on the mounting plate 10. That is, the first locking portion 501 and the second locking portion 502 may be in the form of nuts, and the corresponding rotating shaft 40 may be in the form of bolts.

[0081] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting assembly further includes a third locking portion 503. The connecting member 104 is provided with a third shaft hole 1045, through which the sliding shaft 106 passes. The third locking portion 503 is disposed on the inner side of the connecting member 104 and is connected to the portion of the sliding shaft 106 that passes through the third shaft hole 1045. The third locking portion 503 is larger than the third shaft hole 1045 to prevent the sliding shaft 106 from slipping out of the third shaft hole 1045.

[0082] The third locking portion 503 and the sliding shaft 106 can be connected in a non-detachable manner or in a detachable manner, such as a threaded connection, to facilitate the installation of the sliding shaft 106.

[0083] As shown in Figure 1 , the rotation axis 40 is above the sliding track 301.

[0084] Optionally, the sliding track 301 is in an arc shape, for example, a circular arc shape, and the center of the circular arc is on the axis of the rotation axis 40, so that the sliding shaft 106 can slide relative to the sliding track 301 in the sliding track 301 at the same time when the switch assembly 102 rotates around the axis of the rotation axis 40 between the first position and the second position.

[0085] The central angle of the circular arc needs to be determined according to the relative relationship between the first position and the second position, for example, as Figure 2 , the central angle of the circular arc is 90°.

[0086] It can be understood that the sliding track can also not be in an arc shape, for example, in a straight line shape, a broken line shape, or an irregular shape, etc., as long as it can achieve the adjustment of the switch assembly to the required position.

[0087] The switch assembly can move to the first position or the second position, or be located at other positions between the first position and the second position, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the sliding shaft is located between the first section and the second end of the sliding track, corresponding to the switch assembly being located at other positions between the first position and the second position.

[0088] Optionally, the connecting piece is provided with a limiting part, and the mounting plate 10 is provided with a first limiting matching part and a second limiting matching part, in the first position, the limiting part is matched with the first limiting matching part to limit the switch assembly 102 in the first position, and in the second position, the limiting part is matched with the second limiting matching part to limit the switch assembly 102 in the second position.

[0089] When the switch assembly 102 is located at the first position, as Figure 1 , the limiting part is matched with the first limiting matching part to limit the continuous movement of the connecting piece, so that the switch assembly 102 stops moving when moving from the second position to the first position, avoiding continuing to move in the direction from the second position to the first position beyond the first position; when the switch assembly 102 is located at the second position, the limiting part is matched with the second limiting matching part to limit the continuous movement of the connecting piece, so that the switch assembly 102 stops moving when moving from the first position to the second position, avoiding continuing to move in the direction from the first position to the second position beyond the second position.

[0090] The limiting part can be a first limiting protrusion, and the first limiting matching part is a second limiting protrusion, in the first position, the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion abut to limit the switch assembly 102 in the first position, and in the second position, the first limiting protrusion and a third limiting protrusion abut to limit the switch assembly 102 in the second position.

[0091] The switch assembly is fixed to the mounting assembly, and the mounting plate of the mounting assembly is fixed to the shell to fix the switch assembly in a target position relative to the water pan, that is, to fix the switch assembly in a position corresponding to the water pan, so that the switch assembly is located in the first position and at least partially located in the first water receiving part 1011 when the indoor unit is horizontally installed, and the switch assembly is located in the second position and at least partially located in the second water receiving part when the indoor unit is vertically installed.
