[0063] Reference Figures 1-2 In an exemplary embodiment of the duct type air conditioner 100 of the present application, the duct type air conditioner 100 can include a casing 1. The casing 1 forms the overall appearance of the duct type air conditioner 100.

[0064] The casing 1 is internally formed with a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is used to accommodate and fix various components in the duct type air conditioner 100, which can avoid collision between external objects and various components in the casing 1, thereby improving the reliability of the duct type air conditioner 100 during transportation or installation.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the casing 1 can include an air inlet 13.

[0066] The air inlet 13 is in communication with the receiving cavity, and the air inlet 13 serves as the entrance for the external air flow into the casing 1, allowing indoor air to enter the receiving cavity from the air inlet 13.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the casing 1 can include an air outlet 14.

[0068] The air outlet 14 is in communication with the accommodation cavity, and the air outlet 14 serves as an outlet for the heat exchange air flow in the casing 1 to flow out, allowing the air flow in the accommodation cavity to flow out through the air outlet 14.

[0069] The air inlet 13 can be arranged at one end of the casing 1. The air outlet 14 can be arranged at the other end of the casing 1.

[0070] In this embodiment, the casing 1 is substantially cuboid. As shown in Figure 1 , the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are arranged at opposite ends of the casing 1 in the width direction of the casing 1.

[0076] The air inlet cavity 11 is in communication with the air inlet 13. The heat exchange cavity 12 is in communication with the air outlet 14.

[0077] In this embodiment, the casing 1 includes the air inlet cavity 11 and the heat exchange cavity 12. Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the ducted air conditioner 100 can include a heat exchanger 2.

[0078] The heat exchanger 2 is arranged in the heat exchange cavity 12 to exchange heat with the air entering the heat exchange cavity 12.

[0079] The heat exchanger 2 can be arranged at a position corresponding to the air outlet 14.

[0080] The heat exchanger 2 can be arranged obliquely in the heat exchange cavity 12.

[0081] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 2 is arranged obliquely toward the side close to the air outlet 14 in the height direction of the casing 1. This arrangement increases the heat exchange area of the heat exchanger 2, improves the heat exchange efficiency of the ducted air conditioner 100, and increases the amount of air exchanged.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the ducted type air conditioner 100 can include a heat exchanger fan 3.

[0083] The heat exchanger fan 3 is disposed in the air inlet chamber 11, and is configured to drive indoor air outside the casing 1 to enter the casing 1 through the air inlet 13, and to cause air in the casing 1 to flow in the direction of the air inlet 13 toward the air outlet 14.

[0084] The heat exchanger fan 3 can be a centrifugal fan. The heat exchanger fan 3 is mounted on the fan plate 17.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner has a refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant circuit is connected in series to a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, and an evaporator to circulate refrigerant in a loop.

[0086] The air conditioner outdoor unit can include an outdoor casing.

[0087] The outdoor casing can include an outdoor receiving space.

[0088] The outdoor casing can include an outdoor air inlet. The outdoor air inlet can be in communication with the outdoor receiving space. The outdoor air inlet can be configured to introduce outdoor air into the outdoor receiving space.

[0094] The air conditioner can include a throttling device. The throttling device can be configured to throttle. The throttling device can be disposed in the outdoor receiving space.

[0095] The air conditioner can be configured to perform a refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner using the compressor, the condenser, the throttling device, and the evaporator. The refrigeration cycle can include a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and can supply refrigerant to air that has been conditioned and heat exchanged.

[0096] The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to discharge refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0097] The throttling device expands the high-temperature and high-pressure state liquid phase refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid phase refrigerant.

[0098] The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the throttling device and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor.

[0099] The evaporator can achieve a refrigeration effect by exchanging heat with the material to be cooled using the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant. Throughout the cycle, the air conditioner can adjust the temperature of the indoor space.

[0100] In both the heat exchanger 2 and the outdoor heat exchanger, one of which is a condenser and the other of which is an evaporator, when the heat exchanger 2 is used as a condenser, the air conditioner is used as a heater in a heating mode, and when the heat exchanger 2 is used as an evaporator, the air conditioner is used as a cooler in a cooling mode.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 4 , the ducted air conditioner 100 can have an electrical box 4. The interior of the electrical box 4 is provided with an electrical control assembly 5. The electrical control assembly 5 is configured to control at least the compressor, the expansion valve, and the heat exchange fan 3, thereby controlling the operation of the entire ducted air conditioner 100.

[0102] In this embodiment, with reference to Figure 5 , the electrical box 4 is loaded on the top plate 15, and the electrical box 4 and the heat exchange fan 3 are spaced apart in the length direction of the casing 1.

[0103] By loading the electrical box 4 on the top plate 15, the electrical box 4 is installed in the casing 1, and the internal space of the casing 1 can be fully utilized, so that the structure of the entire ducted air conditioner 100 is more compact.

[0104] The side of the electrical box 4 away from the heat exchange fan is provided with an opening 42, and the interior of the electrical box 4 has a mounting space, and the electrical control assembly 5 is mounted in the mounting space through the opening 42.

[0105] During assembly, the electrical box 4 is first loaded on the top plate 15, and then the electrical box 4 is connected and fixed with the fan plate 17 and the top plate 15 through fasteners. In related technologies, the connection of the electrical box 4 and the fan plate 17 usually relies on the shape for positioning. After the electrical box 4 is placed on the top plate 15, manual adjustment is required to find the fixed hole position, which affects the assembly and production efficiency. This problem is more obvious when the electrical box 4 comes with deformation.

[0106] To solve the above technical problems, in the embodiment, the structure of the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17 is arranged so that they form a matched positioning structure, thereby realizing accurate alignment of the fixing hole 62 position and effectively improving the assembly efficiency.

[0107] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , the positioning structure can include a second positioning part 7, which is recessed on the first side wall 43 of the electric appliance box 4.

[0108] The second positioning part 7 can be recessed from the first side wall 43 of the electric appliance box 4 towards the inside of the electric appliance box 4. A through hole 72 is arranged on the second positioning part 7, which is used for the fastener to pass through.

[0109] The positioning structure can include a first positioning part 6, which is matched with the second positioning part 7.

[0110] Referring to Figure 8 , Figure 9 , the first positioning part 6 is protruded on the side of the fan plate 17 away from the heat exchange cavity 12. The first positioning part 6 is provided with a fixing hole 62, which is used for the fastener to connect and fix.

[0111] When the electric appliance box 4 is assembled, referring to Figure 11 , the first positioning part 6 is matched and accommodated in the inside of the second positioning part 7, so that the through hole 72 and the fixing hole 62 are arranged in position alignment, and the fastener passes through the through hole 72 and is connected in the fixing hole 62, so that the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17 are fixedly connected.

[0112] In the embodiment, through the cooperation of the first positioning part 6 and the second positioning part 7, when the electric appliance box 4 is assembled on the production line body, the through hole 72 and the fixing hole 62 can be aligned at one time, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the electric appliance box 4.

[0113] The assembly work of the ducted air conditioner 100 is carried out on the production line body, wherein the top plate 15 of the ducted air conditioner 100 is in contact with the plane of the production line body. In the related art, the fixing operation angle of the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17 is generally horizontal or perpendicular to the production line body. The standard line body height is generally 0.8-1m, and the height of the ducted air conditioner 100 is about 0.2m, so that the connection and fixing position of the electric appliance box 4 and the ducted air conditioner 100 is about 1-1.2m away from the ground, the fixing hole 62 position is not convenient for the production staff to observe, and the production staff needs to kneel or bend down to perform the fixing operation, thereby further reducing the production efficiency.

[0114] To solve the above technical problems, referring to Figure 12 , the first positioning part 6 can include a fixing surface 61. One end of the fixing hole 62 is located on the fixing surface 61.

[0115] With reference to Figure 12 , the fixing surface 61 is arranged away from the top plate 15 and is arranged obliquely in the direction from the top to the bottom of the shell 1 towards the direction of the fan plate 17. The center line of the fixing hole 62 is arranged perpendicularly to the fixing surface 61.

[0116] The side of the electric appliance box 4 away from the top plate 15 has an opening 41. In this embodiment, the fixing surface 61 is arranged obliquely and away from the top plate 15, so that the production staff on one side of the production line can directly observe the through hole 72 and the fixing hole 62 (as shown in Figure 10 ) through the opening 41. After the fixing hole 62 and the through hole 72 are arranged perpendicularly to the fixing surface 61, the staff can operate normally, the line of sight and the screw and the fixing hole 62 are substantially on the same line, reducing the need to bend or stretch the knees, significantly improving the convenience of the fixing operation, and further improving the production efficiency.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 12 , the fixing surface 61 forms an included angle γ with the plane in which the top plate 15 is located. Wherein, V≥15°. γ≤75°.

[0118] In this embodiment, by reasonably setting the included angle γ, the operating worker can perform the fixing operation at a more comfortable angle when installing the electric appliance box 4, without the need for the staff to bend the knees or bend over, which is conducive to reducing the labor intensity.

[0119] The included angle γ cannot be too small, otherwise the fastener penetrating through the through hole 72 is close to horizontal, and the production staff may need to bend over to perform the fixing operation, which is not conducive to the line of sight and the use of tools of the production staff, affecting the assembly effect. In order to improve the fixing convenience, the included angle γ is set to be not less than a first parameter value. The first parameter value can be any value between 15° and 17°. A suitable specific parameter is considered in specific design. For example, the first parameter value can be 15°.

[0120] The included angle γ cannot be too large, otherwise the fastener penetrating through the through hole 72 is close to vertical, and the production staff needs to bend over to operate and fix, increasing the operation difficulty and fatigue. In order to reduce the operation difficulty, the included angle γ is set to be not greater than a second parameter value. The second parameter value can be any value between 70° and 75°. A suitable specific parameter is considered in specific design. For example, the second parameter value can be 75°.

[0121] In this embodiment, the first positioning part 6 and the second positioning part 7 cooperate to achieve the best operation angle and positioning effect, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency.

[0122] It can be understood that the specific angle of the included angle γ can be selected and adjusted according to different line body heights to achieve more extensive applicability.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present application, the second positioning part 7 can include a second side wall 711 which is arranged in parallel with the fixing surface 61. Referring to Figure 11 , the through hole 72 is arranged through the second side wall 711.

[0124] In the present embodiment, the second side wall 711 is arranged in parallel with the fixing surface 61, so that both are inclined surfaces, which improves the connection stability of the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning part 6 is arranged in a tapered manner in the direction from the fan plate 17 to the electric appliance box 4. Referring to Figure 12 , F1 is the direction from the fan plate 17 to the electric appliance box 4.

[0126] In the present embodiment, the tapered first positioning part 6 cooperates with the second positioning part 7 to achieve the function of assembly guidance, so that the operator can more easily guide the electric appliance box 4 to the correct position, ensuring that the through hole 72 of the electric appliance box 4 and the fixing hole 62 of the fan plate 17 are quickly aligned.

[0127] In some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning part 6 is a quadrangular pyramid structure or a quadrangular pyramid frustum structure.

[0128] It can be understood that the first positioning part 6 in the quadrangular pyramid structure or the quadrangular pyramid frustum structure has four outer sides connected with the fan plate 17. Among them, one outer side of the four outer sides away from the top plate is the fixing surface 61.

[0129] The second positioning part 7 can include three limiting side walls 71 connected in sequence, three limiting side walls 71 are matched with three outer sides of the four outer sides of the first positioning part 6, and each limiting side wall 71 and the corresponding outer side form a limit to limit the movement of the electric appliance box 4 in three directions of the fan plate 17.

[0130] Among them, the limiting side wall 71 away from the top plate 15 in the three limiting side walls 71 is the second side wall 711, and the through hole 72 is arranged through the second side wall 711.

[0131] In the present embodiment, by configuring the first positioning part 6 as a quadrangular pyramid or a quadrangular pyramid frustum structure, it can have good strength and stability, so that the fixed position of the fastener is not easy to deform, which is conducive to improving the assembly firmness.

[0132] The three limiting side walls 71 of the second positioning part 7 cooperate with the corresponding three sides of the first positioning part 6, which can limit the movement of the electric appliance box 4 in multiple directions on the fan plate 17 during the fixing operation, so as to accurately position the positions of the fixing hole 62 and the through hole 72 by the production staff.

[0133] In some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning portion 6 has a triangular shape in a first cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the fan plate 17, and the first cross section passes through the center line of the first positioning portion 6.

[0134] With reference to Figure 13 In the first cross section, the maximum dimension between the first positioning portion 6 and the fan plate 17 is H1, and the length of the first positioning portion 6 on the fan plate 17 is L. H1 / L≥0.27. H1 / L≤3.7.

[0135] In the present embodiment, the ratio of H1 to L is reasonably set in a range, so that the included angle between the fixing surface 61 and the fan plate 17 is within a reasonable range, effectively avoiding the operator from bending or leaning to perform the fixing operation.

[0136] The ratio of H1 to L cannot be too small, otherwise the dimension of the first positioning portion 6 in the width direction of the casing 1 is small, which can result in weak positioning cooperation between the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17, so that the first positioning portion 6 is easily separated from the second positioning portion 7, affecting the positioning effect. At the same time, too small H1 / L can require the production staff to bend to perform the fixing operation, increasing the operation difficulty and labor intensity, and being not conducive to improving the production efficiency.

[0137] In order to improve the production efficiency, H1 / L is set to be not less than a third parameter value. The third parameter value can be any value between 0.27 and 0.5. In the specific design, a suitable specific parameter is selected. For example, the third parameter value can be 0.27.

[0138] The ratio of H1 to L cannot be too large, otherwise the height of the first positioning portion 6 is high and the connection position of the first positioning portion 6 with the fan plate 17 is small, so that the first positioning portion 6 is not easy to form a press type. At the same time, too large H1 / L can require the staff to lean to operate during assembly, increasing the operation difficulty and labor intensity, thereby reducing the production efficiency.

[0139] In order to improve the production efficiency, H1 / L is set to be not greater than a fourth parameter value. The fourth parameter value can be any value between 3.5 and 3.7. In the specific design, a suitable specific parameter is selected. For example, the fourth parameter value can be 3.7.

[0140] In the present embodiment, H1 is 10 mm, L is 20 mm, and H1 / L=1 / 2 is the best.

[0141] In some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning portion 6 is a press type structure on the fan plate 17.

[0142] It can be understood that the press type structure on the fan plate 17 is formed by integrally press type processing of part of the fan plate 17 by a mold.

[0143] In this embodiment, the strength and machining precision of the first positioning part 6 can be improved through the profiling process, and the through hole 72 and the fixing hole 62 can be quickly aligned while effectively preventing deformation of the fixing position during subsequent assembly or use.

[0144] In some embodiments of the present application, the second positioning part 6 is a profiling structure on the first side wall 43 of the electric appliance box 4.

[0145] That is, the second positioning part 6 is integrally profiled by the partial first side wall 43 through a mold.

[0146] The profiling process can achieve high-precision forming effects, ensuring that the size and shape of the first positioning part 6 and the second positioning part 7 meet the design requirements, thereby achieving positioning accuracy and precise positioning of the electric appliance box 4 on the fan plate 17.

[0147] The first positioning part 6 is recessed from the fan plate 17 to the electric appliance box 4, and the fixing hole 62 is a flanged hole. Figure 14 The height dimension of the flanged hole is H2, and H2≥2mm.

[0148] In this embodiment, by setting the fixing hole 62 as a flanged hole and reasonably setting its height dimension, the structural strength of the fixing hole 62 can be significantly enhanced to prevent deformation or damage of the fixing hole 62 due to external forces during assembly, thereby improving the connection reliability of the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17.

[0149] The height dimension H2 of the flanged hole cannot be too small, otherwise it cannot meet the structural strength requirement, which can cause the flanged part to be easily damaged and can also cause the fixing hole 62 and the fastener to not fit tightly, affecting the connection stability and reliability of the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17.

[0150] In order to enhance the structural strength of the fixing hole 62, the height H2 is set to be not less than a fifth parameter value. The fifth parameter value can be any value between 2mm and 2.3mm. A suitable specific parameter can be selected during specific design. For example, the fifth parameter value can be 2mm.

[0151] It should be noted that the height of the flanged hole is the distance dimension between the free end (the end away from the fixing surface 61) of the flanged hole and the fixing surface 61.

[0152] In other embodiments, the thickness of the fan plate 17 is W1, the height dimension of the flanged hole is H2, and H2-W1≥1.2mm.

[0153] H2-W1 cannot be too small, otherwise the height of the flanged hole is not enough to provide sufficient structural strength. This can cause the flanged hole to be easily deformed or damaged during the tightening of the fastener, affecting the fixing effect.

[0154] By reasonably setting the relationship between the height H2 of the flanging hole and the thickness W1 of the fan plate 17, the structural strength of the fixed position and the installation stability of the fastener can be significantly improved.

[0155] In this embodiment, the first positioning part 6 is arranged close to the opening 41, so that the production personnel can directly perform the fastener assembly operation through the opening 41 of the electric appliance box 4. The fastener can directly enter the inside of the electric appliance box 4 through the opening 41, align with the through hole 72 and be fixed in the fixing hole 62 of the fan plate 17, not only making the production personnel directly observe the through hole 72 through the opening 41, but also reducing the difficulty of the operator needing to approach the through hole 72 from the outside of the electric appliance box 4, and improving the assembly convenience.

[0156] In some embodiments, the fastener is a self-tapping screw, and the hole diameter of the fixing hole 62 is smaller than the diameter of the self-tapping screw.

[0157] In this embodiment, by setting the hole diameter of the fixing hole 62 to be smaller than the diameter of the self-tapping screw, the self-tapping screw can be tightly engaged in the fixing hole 62 during the fastening process, which can provide sufficient fastening force, thereby enhancing the fixing strength between the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17.

[0158] Reference Figure 15 The electric appliance box 4 is loaded on the top plate 15. The bottom plate 16 of the cabinet 1 is provided with a relief part 9 corresponding to the electric appliance box 4.

[0159] In this embodiment, by providing the relief part 9 on the bottom plate 16, sufficient installation space is provided for the electric appliance box 4, and interference between the bottom plate 16 and the electric appliance box 4 is avoided.

[0160] In other embodiments, the positioning structure can include a first positioning part 6, which is protruded on the side of the fan plate 17 away from the heat exchange cavity 12, and the first positioning part 6 is provided with a fixing hole 62 for connecting the fastener.

[0161] The positioning structure can include a second positioning part 7, which is recessed from the first side wall 43 of the electric appliance box 4 towards the inside of the electric appliance box 4. The second positioning part 7 has a second side wall 711 arranged away from the top plate 15, the second side wall 711 is vertically provided with a through hole 72, and the second side wall 711 is arranged in an inclined manner from the top of the cabinet 1 to the bottom towards the direction of the fan plate 17.

[0162] The first positioning part 6 is adapted to be accommodated in the inside of the second positioning part 7, so that the through hole 72 and the fixing hole 62 are aligned in position, and the fastener is connected to the inside of the fixing hole 62 through the through hole 72 and the opening 41, so that the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17 are fixedly connected.

[0163] In the embodiment, the first positioning part 6 and the second positioning part 7 are arranged to ensure the quick alignment of the through hole 72 and the fixing hole 62, reduce the assembly time, and make the fixing operation of the electric appliance box 4 and the fan plate 17 more convenient. Meanwhile, the second side wall 711 is arranged to be inclined and away from the top plate 15, so that the second side wall 711 is arranged to face the production staff on the side of the production line body, facilitating the production staff to observe the through hole 72 and realize the fixing operation, so that the production staff can perform the fixing operation at a more comfortable angle when installing the electric appliance box 4, reducing the need to bend or stretch the knees, effectively improving the production efficiency, and reducing the labor intensity.

[0164] Reference Figure 15 The side of the electric appliance box 4 away from the heat exchange fan has an opening 42, and the electric control assembly 5 is installed in the electric appliance box 4 through the opening 42.

[0165] The ducted air conditioner 100 can include an electric appliance box cover 8. The electric appliance box cover 8 is detachably connected with the electric appliance box cover 8, and is used to shield the opening 42 and the opening 41 away from the top plate 15.

[0166] In the embodiment, the electric appliance box cover 8 is arranged to define a closed space for installing the electric control assembly 5 when the electric appliance box cover 8 is connected with the electric appliance box 4, effectively protecting the electric control assembly 5.

[0167] In some embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 16 When the production line body height H3 is 0.8-1 m, the operation angle of the production staff is best when the included angle γ is 45°.

[0168] When the included angle γ is 45°, the staff normally stands beside the production line, so that the line of sight, the fixing screwdriver, the screw, the through hole 72, and the fixing hole 62 are basically on the same straight line, facilitating the operation.
