AI Technical Summary
In existing air conditioners, the sponge filling between the evaporator and the upper casing has poor sealing performance and is prone to odor, affecting airflow and sealing effect.
A baffle and air gap are set between the upper shell and the evaporator, and the upper shell made of EPP foam material is interference-fitted with the evaporator to avoid using sponge to fill the gap.
This achieves a good seal between the evaporator and the upper shell, avoiding the problem of the sponge developing an odor, and improving the sealing and stability of airflow.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning, and in particular to an evaporator installation structure for an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] Roof-mounted air conditioners are typically used on vehicle roofs. For example, patent document CN210390703U discloses a roof-mounted ventilation, purification, and cooling parking air conditioning system assembly. The upper housing is installed on the top of the driver's cab and extends out of the driver's cab. There is a fresh air vent at the top of the upper housing. The internal circulation filter is fixed to the interior cover plate by a snap-fit. The interior cover plate is connected to the lower housing. There are grooves in the middle of the upper and lower housings. The external circulation filter is installed in the grooves of the upper and lower housings. An internal and external circulation damper is installed on the left side of the external circulation filter. The internal and external circulation actuator is fixed to the lower housing by screws. A blower is installed in the left cavity inside the housing. An evaporator is also installed in the left cavity inside the housing. A compressor is installed in the right cavity inside the housing. The condenser assembly is connected to the compressor. The condenser assembly is connected to the evaporator through a pipeline assembly.
[0003] However, in existing technologies, to ensure sufficient heat exchange between the airflow and the evaporator, a sponge is typically used to seal the space between the upper shell and the evaporator, allowing the air to flow along a designed path. However, using a sponge to fill the gap results in poor sealing, and the sponge is prone to developing an odor after prolonged use.
[0004] To address this issue, an evaporator mounting structure for an air conditioner is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an evaporator installation structure for an air conditioner, which has the advantage of not needing to use sponge to fill the gaps and avoiding odor.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is: an evaporator installation structure for an air conditioner, including an upper shell, an evaporator, and a lower shell. The upper shell is installed on the lower shell, and an installation cavity is provided inside the upper shell. The evaporator is disposed in the installation cavity. An air inlet and an air outlet are provided on the lower shell. The air inlet is located on the front side of the evaporator, and the air outlet is located on the rear side of the evaporator. A baffle is provided on the top inner side of the upper shell, and the baffle is located on the front side of the evaporator. Air passage gaps are provided on both the left and right sides of the evaporator, and the air passage gaps connect the air inlet and the air outlet.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper shell and the baffle are integrally formed.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper shell is made of EPP foam material.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the inner wall of the upper shell is interference-fitted with the top surface of the evaporator.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lower shell is provided with a mounting post, which is used to connect the upper shell, and the air passage gap is formed at the edge of the mounting post.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lower shell is provided with a condensate drain channel, which connects the air inlet and the outside of the mounting cavity.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting the upper shell, it is convenient to install the evaporator, and the upper shell is made of EPP foam material, which can seal well with the evaporator, thus eliminating the need to use sponge to fill the gap and avoiding the sponge from smelling bad.
