In addition, it should be noted that the specification describes many features. Although some features can be combined together to show possible system designs, these features can also be used in other combinations that are not explicitly described. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to limit.
[0045] The principles and structures of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.
[0046] The present application includes the heat exchanger assembly, electric control box, temperature control element and other components of the existing tubular indoor unit, which are not limited here.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] The refrigerant detection sensor of the existing duct type indoor unit is located on the heat exchanger assembly, so when the refrigerant detection sensor needs to be detected and maintained due to failure, the refrigerant detection sensor needs to be maintained after the pipeline assembly, the water pump assembly and other components are disassembled, which causes inconvenient maintenance and low maintenance efficiency.
[0049] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of inconvenient maintenance and low maintenance efficiency of the refrigerant detection sensor in the duct type indoor unit, with reference to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 and 5 The utility model proposes a duct type indoor unit, including casing 11 and with casing 11 detachable connection's overhaul board 12, the inner side wall of overhaul board 12 is equipped with water pump assembly 13;The inner side wall of overhaul board 12 is equipped with refrigerant detection device 14, and refrigerant detection device 14 and water pump assembly 13 are spaced apart.
[0050] In this way, when the refrigerant detection device 14 needs to be maintained due to failure, the refrigerant detection device 14 can be separated from the duct type indoor unit by disassembling the overhaul board 12 relative to the casing 11, so that the maintenance personnel can maintain the refrigerant detection device 14, improving the maintenance efficiency;And the refrigerant detection device 14 and the water pump assembly 13 are spaced apart, which can prevent the water pump assembly 13 from affecting the detection accuracy of the refrigerant detection device 14 when running.
[0051] Among them, with reference to the accompanying drawings, Figures 2-3 The refrigerant detection device 14 includes a mounting bracket 141 and a refrigerant detection sensor 142;
[0052] The inner side wall of the overhaul board 12 is provided with a mounting bracket 141, and the mounting bracket 141 is provided with a receiving groove (not shown, the same throughout the text), and a plurality of female buckles 1411 are arranged in the receiving groove;The refrigerant detection sensor 142 is provided with a male buckle 1421 corresponding to the female buckle 1411.
[0053] Among them, when the refrigerant detection sensor 142 is matched and installed in the receiving groove, the male buckle 1421 is matched and clamped with the corresponding female buckle 1411.
[0054] In this way, when the refrigerant detection sensor 142 needs to be maintained, the maintenance personnel only needs to separate the male buckle 1421 and the corresponding female buckle 1411 by using tools, so as to separate the refrigerant detection sensor 142 from the receiving groove, and then facilitate the maintenance personnel to maintain the refrigerant detection sensor 142, further improving the maintenance efficiency.
[0055] Among them, in order to ensure that the mounting bracket 141 or the refrigerant detection device 14 will not fall off during the operation of the duct type indoor unit, with reference to the accompanying drawings, Figure 2The mounting bracket 141 is further provided with a plurality of mounting through holes 1412, and each fastener can be matched to pass through the mounting through holes 1412 and be bolted with the access panel 12.
[0056] It should be noted that the fastener in the embodiment is a locking bolt.
[0057] In order to ensure that the detection accuracy of the refrigerant detection sensor 142 is not affected when the water pump assembly 13 is running, referring to the attached Figure 4 The shortest distance C between the water pump assembly 13 and the mounting bracket 141 of the refrigerant detection device 14 is preferably [10mm, 60mm].
[0058] Of course, in other embodiments, the shortest distance C between the water pump assembly 13 and the mounting bracket 141 can also be set to other values according to actual conditions, which is not limited here.
[0059] In order to ensure that the vibration generated by the fan 16 when running does not affect the detection accuracy of the refrigerant detection sensor 142 through the fan mounting plate 15, referring to the attached Figure 4 The inside of the shell 11 and the upper part corresponding to the refrigerant detection device 14 are provided with a fan mounting plate 15 on which the fan 16 is mounted, and the shortest distance B between the fan mounting plate 15 and the mounting bracket 141 of the refrigerant detection device 14 is preferably [155mm, 185mm].

[0070] Of course, in other embodiments, the shortest distance E between the side of the access panel 12 along its Y-axis direction and the mounting bracket 141, and the shortest distance D between the side of the access panel 12 along its Z-axis direction and the mounting bracket 141 can also be set to other values according to actual conditions, which are not limited here.
[0071] In order to ensure the detection accuracy of the refrigerant detection device 14, with reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 and 7 The inside of the shell 11 of the duct type indoor unit is divided into a first mounting space 112 and a second mounting space 113 by the fan mounting plate 15.
