[0035] Please see Figure 1 One embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner housing assembly, including: an air conditioner housing 10 and a mounting plate connecting part 20. The mounting plate connecting part 20 is used to connect with a mounting plate. The mounting plate connecting part 20 is movably connected to the air conditioner housing 10. The mounting plate connecting part 20 can move relative to the air conditioner housing 10 to a fastened position and an open position.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 When the mounting plate connection part 20 moves to the fastened position, the air conditioner housing 10 and the mounting plate connection part 20 surround and form an installation space 30 for piping assembly. The mounting plate connection part 20 is detachably fixed to the air conditioner housing 10, thereby ensuring stable installation and restraint of the piping. When the mounting plate connection part 20 moves to the fastened position, the mounting plate connection part 20 can be detachably fixed to the mounting plate.

[0037] Please see Figure 3When the mounting plate connection part 20 moves to the open position, a clearance space 40 is formed between the mounting plate connection part 20 and the air conditioner housing 10, so that the mounting plate connection part 20 avoids the workers and prevents the mounting plate connection part 20 from hindering the installation and maintenance of the piping, thereby improving the operability of installation and maintenance and increasing the service efficiency of the workers.

[0038] In this embodiment, the air conditioner housing 10 is an air conditioner chassis, and the mounting plate connection part 20 is disposed on the air conditioner chassis. Of course, in some other embodiments, the air conditioner housing 10 can also be other structures of the air conditioner, and is not limited to the air conditioner chassis, and the mounting plate connection part 20 is disposed at a suitable position on the air conditioner housing 10 according to actual needs.

[0039] Please see Figures 4 to 6 In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner housing 10 is provided with a plurality of support buckles 11, and the mounting plate connecting part 20 is provided with a plurality of support mating parts 21. When the mounting plate connecting part 20 moves to the open position, the support buckles 11 and the support mating parts 21 engage, so that the mounting plate connecting part 20 is stably restricted in the open position. By stably maintaining the position of the mounting plate connecting part 20, the installation plate connecting part 20 is prevented from shaking or falling off, which would affect the installation and maintenance work of the staff.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, the mounting plate connecting portion 20 is further provided with an over-rotation limiting portion 22. When the mounting plate connecting portion 20 moves to the open position, the support latch portion 11 is located between the support mating portion 21 and the over-rotation limiting portion 22. When the mounting plate connecting portion 20 moves from the fastened position to the open position, it may move excessively and exceed the open position, which may cause the mounting plate connecting portion 20 to collide with other structures of the air conditioner housing 10. Therefore, the over-rotation limiting portion 22 restricts the position of the mounting plate connecting portion 20, so that during the process of the mounting plate connecting portion 20 moving from the fastened position to the open position, the support latch portion 11 will enter between the support mating portion 21 and the over-rotation limiting portion 22 after passing the support mating portion 21. The support mating portion 21 and the over-rotation limiting portion 22 cooperate to limit the position range of the mounting plate connecting portion 20.

[0041] In some alternative embodiments, a fastening surface 111 is formed on the support latch portion 11. When the mounting plate connecting portion 20 moves to the open position, the fastening surface 111 is positioned and engaged with the support mating portion 21, and the fastening surface 111 is in surface contact with the support mating portion 21, thereby improving the stability of the support latch portion 11 in supporting the mounting plate connecting portion 20.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the support latch 11 is provided with a latching guide surface 112, and the included angle between the latching surface 111 and the latching guide surface 112 is greater than 0° and less than 180°. When the mounting plate connecting part 20 rotates from the open position to the fastened position, the mounting plate connecting part 20 abuts against the latching guide surface 112, thereby guiding the support latch 11 to be smoothly pushed and deformed, so that the mounting plate connecting part 20 can pass over the latching guide surface 112 and then abut against the latching surface 111.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 12 are connected between the support buckle 11 and the air conditioner housing 10, and the reinforcing ribs 12 can strengthen the support buckle 11.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the mounting plate connecting portion 20 is rotatably engaged with the air conditioner housing 10, facilitating movement of the mounting plate connecting portion 20 relative to the air conditioner housing 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting plate connecting portion 20 may also slide against the air conditioner housing 10.

[0045] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some optional embodiments, a limiting rib 23 is provided on the mounting plate connecting part 20, and a limiting groove 13 is provided on the air conditioner housing 10. When the mounting plate connecting part 20 moves to the fastening position, the limiting rib 23 and the limiting groove 13 engage in a limiting fit, thereby restricting the position of the mounting plate connecting part 20 relative to the air conditioner housing 10, and realizing the detachable fixation of the mounting plate connecting part 20 and the air conditioner housing 10. Of course, the mounting plate connecting part 20 and the air conditioner housing 10 can also be detachably fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure or a threaded structure. In this embodiment, the limiting rib 23 and the positioning part are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting plate connecting part 20, or the limiting rib 23 and the positioning part are respectively arranged near both sides of the mounting plate connecting part 20. When the mounting plate connecting part 20 moves to the fastening position, the limiting rib 23 and the limiting groove 13 engage in a limiting fit, and the supporting snap-fit ​​part 11 and the supporting engagement part 21 are engaged, thereby stably restricting the position of both sides of the mounting plate connecting part 20, making the mounting plate connecting part 20 stably fastened and not easy to loosen.

[0046] The rotational engagement between the mounting plate connecting portion 20 and the air conditioner housing 10 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, shaft portions can be provided on both sides of the mounting plate connecting portion 20, and two shaft holes corresponding to the shaft portions can be provided on the air conditioner housing 10. Alternatively, in some optional embodiments, a first bushing 24 and a second bushing 25 can be provided on both sides of the mounting plate connecting portion 20, and a first rotating shaft 14 and a second rotating shaft 15 can be provided on the air conditioner housing 10. The first bushing 24 is rotatably engaged with the first rotating shaft 14, and the second bushing 25 is rotatably engaged with the second rotating shaft 15. A plurality of clearance portions 141 are formed on the side of the first rotating shaft 14, and the distance between the clearance portions 141 and the axis of the first rotating shaft 14 is small. Around the radius of the first rotating shaft 14, a mounting port 241 is formed on the side of the first bushing 24 for the first rotating shaft 14 to pass through. When assembling the mounting plate connecting part 20, the second rotating shaft 15 can be inserted into the second bushing 25 along the axial direction of the second bushing 25, and then the first rotating shaft 14 is inserted into the first bushing 24 radially from the mounting port 241. To prevent the first rotating shaft 14 from coming loose from the first bushing 24, the width of the mounting port 241 is designed to be as small as possible smaller than the diameter of the first rotating shaft 14. However, this will make it difficult for the first rotating shaft 14 to pass through the mounting port 241. By designing the clearance part 141, the first rotating shaft 14 can pass through the mounting port 241 smoothly at a specific angle. In this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 14 is a flat shaft, and clearance parts 141 are provided on both sides of the first rotating shaft 14. The clearance parts 141 are cross-sections.

[0047] The aforementioned air conditioner housing assembly can be used in an air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner housing assembly as described above.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
