[0031] The specific embodiments of the application have been shown and described in the above drawings and text, and will be described in more detail below. These drawings and text are not intended to limit the scope of the inventive concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the inventive concept to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the utility model. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0033] As described in the background, the vertical air conditioner has a shell, which includes a surrounding plate and an evaporator support. The evaporator support is arranged on one side of the surrounding plate and is fastened to the surrounding plate by bolts.

[0034] However, such arrangement makes the bolts connect the evaporator support and the surrounding plate completely, limits the displacement of the evaporator support relative to the surrounding plate, and further makes the impact force directly transmitted to the evaporator support when the shell is impacted during transportation of the vertical air conditioner, so that the evaporator support is easily damaged. In addition, when the vertical air conditioner is running, the internal cold and hot changes make the size of the evaporator support easily shrink or expand, which leads to accumulation of internal stress and further makes the evaporator support easily damaged.

[0035] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the air conditioner shell structure and the air conditioner body provided by the embodiments of the application are provided. The air conditioner shell structure is provided with a surrounding plate and an evaporator support. The surrounding plate has a first assembly part and a second assembly part arranged at intervals along the length direction. The evaporator support has a first matching part and a second matching part corresponding to the first assembly part and the second assembly part. When the evaporator support is connected to the surrounding plate, the first matching part and the second assembly part are inserted into each other to form a positioning reference, so as to determine the relative position between the surrounding plate and the evaporator support accurately and stably. The second matching part and the second assembly part are gap-fitted, and there is an assembly gap between the second matching part and the second assembly part after the second matching part and the second assembly part are connected.

[0036] Further, after the evaporator bracket is connected with the surrounding plate member, the evaporator bracket and the surrounding plate member are relatively fixed on one side corresponding to the first matching part and are relatively movable on the other side corresponding to the second matching part. When the vertical air conditioner is impacted during transportation, the second matching part of the evaporator bracket can be moved relative to the second assembly part of the surrounding plate member to buffer the impact, or when the evaporator bracket is deformed due to cold and heat changes, the assembly gap between the second matching part and the second assembly part forms a deformation allowance, reducing internal stress and also reducing the probability of damage to the evaporator bracket.

[0037] The content of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly and specifically understand the content of the present application.

[0038] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 5 The air conditioner shell structure provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises:

[0039] The surrounding plate member 100 is provided with a first assembly part 110 and a second assembly part 120 which are spaced apart along the length direction of the surrounding plate member 100.

[0040] The evaporator bracket 200 is provided with a first matching part 210 and a second matching part 220, the first matching part 210 is positioned and inserted in correspondence with the first assembly part 110, and the second matching part 220 has an assembly gap with the second assembly part 120.

[0041] It can be understood that the surrounding plate member 100 is a part of the air conditioner shell, and specifically can be the front surrounding plate or the rear surrounding plate of the air conditioner shell, which is not limited by the present application. In actual operation, the evaporator bracket 200 is usually connected with the rear surrounding plate of the air conditioner shell, therefore, the air conditioner shell structure provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described below with the surrounding plate member 100 as the rear surrounding plate. The rear surrounding plate is provided as the air inlet side of the air conditioner, therefore, the surrounding plate member 100 is provided with a louvre part 140 to enable the surrounding plate member 100 to intake air through the louvre part 140. After the evaporator bracket 200 is connected with the surrounding plate member 100, the evaporator bracket 200 can be arranged on the louvre part 140, so that the air entering the air conditioner shell through the louvre part 140 can be quickly exchanged with the evaporator to ensure the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0042] The first assembly part 110 and the second assembly part 120 are spaced apart along the length direction of the surrounding plate member 100, that is, the height direction of the surrounding plate member 100 in the vertical state, and are specifically spaced apart on opposite sides of the length direction of the louvre part 140 to correspondingly connect the two sides of the length direction of the evaporator bracket 200.

[0043] The evaporator support 200 is provided with a first fitting part 210 corresponding to the first assembly part 110 and a second fitting part 220 corresponding to the second assembly part 120, and the first fitting part 210 and the second fitting part 220 are respectively located on both sides of the length direction of the evaporator support 200. Among them, the first fitting part 210 is matched with the first assembly part 110 to position the plug-in, so that the assembly reference between the evaporator support 200 and the surrounding plate 100 can be determined. While the second fitting part 220 and the second assembly part 120 are gap fitted, so that in the process of impact, the impact force is transmitted from the surrounding plate 100 to the evaporator support 200, the evaporator support 200 can have a certain activity allowance through the fitting gap, and then the impact force is buffered relative to the surrounding plate 100, and the evaporator support 200 can be limited and protected when the second fitting part 220 and the second assembly part 120 abut, reducing the probability of damage to the evaporator support 200 due to impact. And in the process of air conditioning operation, the evaporator refrigeration makes the temperature difference in the air conditioner shell larger, and then the evaporator support 200 is deformed by the change of cold and hot, and the activity allowance formed by the fitting gap can reduce the accumulation of internal stress of the evaporator support 200 in the deformation process, and then reduce the probability of damage to the evaporator support 200 due to excessive deformation.

[0044] Therefore, in the process of installing and positioning the evaporator support 200 through the first assembly part 110 and the first fitting part 210, and providing the evaporator support 200 with activity allowance through the second assembly part 120 and the second fitting part 220 to ensure the reliability of the connection between the evaporator support 200 and the surrounding plate 100, the evaporator support 200 is prevented from being disconnected from the surrounding plate 100 while moving relative to the surrounding plate 100.

[0045] Therefore, the air conditioner shell structure provided by the embodiment of the present application sets the surrounding plate 100 and the evaporator support 200, the surrounding plate 100 has the first assembly part 110 and the second assembly part 120 arranged along the length direction, and the evaporator support 200 has the first fitting part 210 and the second fitting part 220 corresponding thereto, so that when the evaporator support 200 is connected with the surrounding plate 100, the first fitting part 210 and the second assembly part 120 are inserted with each other to form a positioning reference, and the relative position between the surrounding plate 100 and the evaporator support 200 is accurate and stable, and the second fitting part 220 and the second assembly part 120 are gap fitted, and there is an assembly gap between the second fitting part 220 and the second assembly part 120 after the connection of the second fitting part 220 and the second assembly part 120.

[0046] Further, after the evaporator bracket 200 is connected with the surrounding plate 100, the evaporator bracket 200 and the surrounding plate 100 are relatively fixed on the side corresponding to the first matching part 210 and are relatively movable on the side corresponding to the second matching part 220. When the vertical air conditioner is impacted during transportation, the second matching part 220 of the evaporator bracket 200 can be moved relative to the second assembly part 120 of the surrounding plate 100 to buffer the impact, or when the evaporator bracket 200 is deformed due to cold and hot changes, the assembly gap between the second matching part 220 and the second assembly part 120 forms a deformation allowance, reduces internal stress, and can also reduce the probability of damage to the evaporator bracket 200.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the first matching part 210 is located at the upper part of the evaporator bracket 200, and the second matching part 220 is located at the lower part of the evaporator bracket 200.

[0048] The first matching part 210 is inserted with the first assembly part 110 to hang the evaporator bracket 200 on the surrounding plate 100.

[0049] It can be understood that in this way, the corresponding first assembly part 110 is located at the upper part of the surrounding plate 100, and the second assembly part 120 is located at the lower part of the surrounding plate 100, so that the positioning reference of the evaporator is located at the upper part, and the movement allowance is located at the lower part, and further, when the evaporator bracket 200 is assembled, the evaporator bracket 200 can be first positioned and inserted through the first assembly part 110 and the first matching part 210 to be hung on the surrounding plate 100, thereby saving the support of the evaporator bracket 200, facilitating the matching and connection of the second assembly part 120 and the second matching part 220, and subsequent installation of the connecting piece.

[0050] In other embodiments, the first matching part 210 can also be arranged at the lower part of the evaporator bracket 200, the second matching part 220 can be arranged at the upper part of the evaporator bracket 200, and the first assembly part 110 and the second assembly part 120 are arranged correspondingly, and the present application does not limit this.

[0051] In specific implementation, referring to Figures 2 to 4 , one of the first assembly part 110 and the first matching part 210 is a plug, and the other is a socket matched with the plug.

[0052] The outer wall of the plug abuts against the inner wall of the socket.

[0053] In this way, the first assembly part 110 and the first matching part 210 have simple structure, are easy to assemble, and have good positioning accuracy.

[0054] In the embodiment, the insertion block is a rectangular block, and the insertion hole is a rectangular through hole matched with the insertion block, so as to comprehensively limit the movement of the evaporator bracket 200 relative to the baffle member 100, and ensure the accuracy of the insertion and positioning of the first assembly part 110 and the first matching part 210. In other embodiments, the insertion block can also be provided as a protruding block structure of other shapes, such as a triangular block or a special-shaped block, and the insertion hole is matched with the insertion block. Or when at least two first matching parts 210 and corresponding first assembly parts 110 are provided, the insertion block can also be provided as a cylindrical shape, which is not limited in the application.

[0055] As shown in the examples of FIGS. 1 to 3, Figures 2 to 4 the first assembly part 110 can be provided as an insertion block, and the first matching part 210 can be provided as an insertion hole, or the first assembly part 110 can be provided as an insertion hole, and the first matching part 210 can be provided as an insertion block, which is not limited in the application.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 one of the second assembly part 120 and the second matching part 220 is a protrusion, and the other is a groove, and at least one side of the protrusion and the groove has an assembly gap.

[0057] In this way, the structure of the second assembly part 120 and the second matching part 220 is simple, the protrusion can be matched with the gap through the notch of the groove, and the assembly of the second assembly part 120 and the second matching part 220 is convenient and fast. Since the deformation limit of the evaporator bracket 200 along the length direction is much greater than that along the width direction when the evaporator bracket 200 is deformed, the notch of the groove can be arranged to face the length extension direction of the evaporator bracket 200, so as to facilitate the evaporator bracket 200 to have a relatively sufficient movement allowance.

[0058] In specific implementation, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, Figure 5 the second assembly part 120 is located at the outer side of the evaporator bracket 200, the second matching part 220 is a groove, and the notch of the groove faces the second assembly part 120.

[0059] The second assembly part 120 is matched with the gap through the notch, the groove bottom and the two groove walls.

[0060] In this way, the structure of the evaporator bracket 200 is more compact and light, the assembly is more labor-saving and fast, and the groove bottom and the two groove walls can be used to respectively ensure the movement limit between the evaporator bracket 200 and the baffle member 100, so that the evaporator bracket 200 moves or deforms within the allowable range of the movement allowance, which not only avoids the damage of the evaporator bracket 200, but also ensures the stability of the connection between the evaporator bracket 200 and the baffle member 100.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, Figure 5As shown, the abutting portion 130 is arranged on the surrounding plate member 100, and the abutting portion 130 abuts against the outer side surface of the second fitting portion 220, and the second fitting portion 120 is arranged on the abutting portion 130.

[0062] It can be understood that the abutting portion 130 is a block structure protruding relative to the surrounding plate member 100, and the second fitting portion 120 is arranged on the abutting portion 130, so that the second fitting portion 120 protrudes relative to the abutting portion 130, and when the evaporator bracket 200 is assembled, the second fitting portion 220 and the side surface of the evaporator bracket 200 can abut against the abutting portion 130, avoiding direct contact between the evaporator bracket 200 and the surrounding plate member 100, reducing the impact, and reducing the damage probability of the evaporator bracket 200.

[0063] In addition, in order to realize the assembly of the connecting piece, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the connecting piece is further arranged, one of the surrounding plate member 100 and the evaporator bracket 200 is arranged with the movable connecting portion 230, and the other is arranged with the mounting hole 150, and the connecting piece is connected with the movable connecting portion 230 through the mounting hole 150, so that at least part of the evaporator bracket 200 is displaced relative to the surrounding plate member 100 through the movable connecting portion 230.

[0064] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the movable connecting portion 230 is arranged on the evaporator bracket 200, and the mounting hole 150 is arranged on the surrounding plate member 100, so as to improve the applicability of the evaporator bracket 200, so that after the connecting piece is connected with the movable connecting portion 230 through the mounting hole 150, the stable connection between the evaporator bracket 200 and the surrounding plate member 100 is realized, and the evaporator bracket 200 can be displaced relative to the surrounding plate member 100 through the movable connecting portion 230 when the evaporator bracket 200 is impacted or deformed, thereby reducing the damage probability of the evaporator bracket 200.

[0065] Among them, the movable connecting portion 230 is a strip-shaped hole. In this way, the movable connecting portion 230 can be arranged as a strip-shaped hole, and the strip-shaped hole extends along the length direction of the evaporator bracket 200, so as to facilitate the movement or deformation of the evaporator bracket 200 along the length direction of itself.

[0066] In specific implementation, the mounting holes 150 are sequentially and spacedly arranged on the circumferential side of the mounting position of the evaporator bracket 200. The movable connecting portion 230 is arranged on opposite sides in the length direction of the evaporator bracket 200, and the position corresponding to the arrangement of the second fitting portion 220 of the evaporator bracket 200, so that the remaining part of the evaporator bracket 200 except the part positioned and connected by the first fitting portion 210 and the first fitting portion 110 can be moved when the evaporator bracket 200 is impacted or deformed.

[0067] In addition, referring to Figure 4As shown, the connecting member further comprises a fixed connecting portion 240, which is arranged on the same coaming 100 or evaporator bracket 200 as the movable connecting portion 230, and is located at the side of the first fitting portion 210. The connecting member is further connected to the fixed connecting portion 240 through the mounting hole 150, so as to fix the evaporator bracket 200 and the coaming 100.

[0068] By arranging the fixed connecting portion 240 on the evaporator bracket 200 corresponding to the first fitting portion 210, the connecting member can be fixedly connected to the side of the evaporator bracket 200 on which the first fitting portion 210 is arranged through the mounting hole 150, so as to ensure the relative position between the side of the evaporator bracket 200 on which the first fitting portion 210 is arranged and the coaming 100 to be stable, and ensure the positioning reference to be stable and reliable.

[0069] In specific implementation, the connecting member can be a bolt or a screw, and the mounting hole 150 and the fixed connecting portion 240 can be threaded holes matched with the bolt or the screw, which is not limited in the application.

[0070] The embodiment of the application further provides an air conditioner, which comprises an air conditioner body and the air conditioner shell structure in any of the above embodiments.

[0071] The air conditioner shell structure has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be described here.

[0072] In summary, the air conditioner shell structure and the air conditioner body provided by the embodiment of the application are as follows. The air conditioner shell structure is arranged by the coaming 100 and the evaporator bracket 200. The coaming 100 has the first fitting portion 110 and the second fitting portion 120 arranged at intervals along the length direction, and the evaporator bracket 200 has the first fitting portion 210 and the second fitting portion 220 corresponding thereto. In this way, when the evaporator bracket 200 is connected to the coaming 100, the first fitting portion 210 and the second fitting portion 120 are inserted into each other to form a positioning reference, so as to determine the relative position between the coaming 100 and the evaporator bracket 200 to be accurate and stable. The second fitting portion 220 and the second fitting portion 120 are clearance fitted, and have an assembly gap between the second fitting portion 220 and the second fitting portion 120 after being connected. Finally, the evaporator bracket 200 and the coaming 100 are connected by the connecting member to complete the assembly.

[0073] Further, after the evaporator bracket 200 is connected with the surrounding plate 100, the evaporator bracket 200 and the surrounding plate 100 are relatively fixed on the side corresponding to the first matching part 210, and are relatively movable on the side corresponding to the second matching part 220. When the vertical air conditioner is impacted during transportation, the second matching part 220 of the evaporator bracket 200 can be moved relative to the second assembly part 120 of the surrounding plate 100 to buffer the impact, or when the evaporator bracket 200 is deformed due to cold and heat changes, the assembly gap between the second matching part 220 and the second assembly part 120 forms a deformation allowance, reducing internal stress, and also reducing the probability of damage to the evaporator bracket 200.
