[0040] The specific embodiments of the present application have been shown by the above-mentioned drawings, and will be described in more detail hereinafter. These drawings and written descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application by any means, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0042] As described in the background, the vertical air conditioner includes a shell, and an air duct, an evaporator assembly, a water receiving element, electrical components and wires thereof located in the shell. During the cooling operation of the air conditioner, the temperature of the evaporator assembly can make the air temperature in the shell lower, so that the surface of the evaporator assembly and the wires in the shell condenses condensate. The condensate on the evaporator assembly can flow into the water receiving element and be discharged.

[0043] However, due to the connection of the wires and the electrical components, the condensate on the wires is easy to flow along the wires to the electrical components, or the condensate is easy to drip outside the water receiving element, which is not easy to clean.

[0044] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner support structure and an air conditioner. The air conditioner support structure includes an evaporator support and an air duct connected to the evaporator support. By providing a water receiving element on the evaporator support and at least two wire grooves on the air duct for bending the wire harness to form a backwater bend, the wire grooves are located above the water receiving element, and the projection of the wire groove towards the water receiving element is located in the water receiving element. In this way, when the condensate on the wire harness condenses and flows along the wire harness, the condensate will drip into the water receiving element under the action of gravity when it flows to the backwater bend, and will not continue to flow along the wire harness to the electrical components, preventing the electrical components from being damaged by water.

[0045] Among them, at least two wire grooves are provided, and at least one wire harness can be accommodated. When the wire harness is passed, the wire harness can be passed into one of the wire grooves and then passed out of the other wire groove, so that the wire harness is convenient and reliable to pass and go.

[0046] The content of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly and specifically understand the content of the present application.

[0047] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in some embodiments, the present application provides an air conditioner support structure, which includes:

[0048] The evaporator support 100;

[0049] The water receiving element 200 is connected to the lower part of the evaporator support 100.

[0050] The air duct 300 is connected with the evaporator bracket 100, and the air duct 300 has at least two spaced wiring grooves 301, each of which is located above the water receiving part 200, and the at least two wiring grooves 301 are used for sequentially penetrating the wire harness 400 to form a water return bend, and the water receiving part 200 is used for collecting the condensed water dripping at the water return bend.

[0051] It can be understood that the air conditioner bracket structure is arranged in the shell of the indoor unit of the air conditioner as a whole, wherein the evaporator bracket 100 is connected with the shell of the indoor unit, the evaporator is arranged on the evaporator bracket 100, and the evaporator is located at the air inlet side of the shell to exchange heat with the air entering the shell, and the side of the evaporator facing the air outlet side of the shell is connected with the air duct 300, and the air duct 300 is provided with a fan, so that the air exchanged by the evaporator can be blown out from the air outlet side when the fan operates.

[0052] The connection between the evaporator bracket 100 and the air duct 300 can be snap connection, bolted connection, or snap connection and bolted connection, which is not limited in the application.

[0053] The air duct 300 is provided with at least two wiring grooves 301, and the at least two wiring grooves 301 are sequentially and spaced arranged, so as to penetrate the wire harness 400. Specifically, the wire harness 400 is penetrated into one of the wiring grooves 301 from top to bottom, and then penetrated out of the other wiring groove 301 from bottom to top, so that the wire harness 400 is bent in U shape through the two wiring grooves 301, and then a water return bend is formed. When the condensed water flows along the wire harness 400 to the bottom of the water return bend, the condensed water cannot continue to flow along the wire harness 400 under the action of gravity, and will drip.

[0054] The water receiving part 200 is arranged at the bottom of the evaporator bracket 100, and is located directly below the evaporator, and mainly receives the condensed water formed on the evaporator. The wiring groove 301 is also arranged above the water receiving part 200, and the projection of the wiring groove 301 towards the water receiving part 200 is located in the water receiving part 200, so that when the condensed water at the water return bend of the wire harness 400 drips, it will drip into the water receiving part 200, and then be discharged through the water dripping part, preventing the condensed water from splashing.

[0055] Therefore, the air conditioner support structure provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises an evaporator support 100 and an air duct 300 connected with the evaporator support 100. The water receiving part 200 is arranged on the evaporator support 100, and at least two wire routing grooves 301 for forming a water return bend are arranged on the air duct 300. The wire routing groove 301 is located above the water receiving part 200, and the projection of the wire routing groove 301 towards the water receiving part 200 is located in the water receiving part 200. In this way, when the condensed water on the wire harness 400 condenses and flows along the wire harness 400, the condensed water will drip into the water receiving part 200 under the action of gravity when the condensed water flows to the water return bend, and will not continuously flow along the wire harness 400 to the electrical element, thereby preventing the electrical element from being damaged by water.

[0056] At least two wire routing grooves 301 are arranged, and at least one wire harness 400 can be accommodated. When the wire harness 400 is arranged, the wire harness 400 can be arranged from one wire routing groove 301 to the other wire routing groove 301, so that the arrangement and direction of the wire harness 400 are convenient and reliable.

[0057] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 5 As shown in the figure, at least two extension parts 310 are arranged on the outer wall of the air duct 300, and the extension parts 310 are arranged towards the outside of the air duct 300.

[0058] The wire routing groove 301 is formed between the adjacent two extension parts 310.

[0059] And at least one extension part 310 and the outer wall of the air duct 300 jointly form the wire routing groove 301.

[0060] At least two extension parts 310 are formed by the protrusions extending outwards on the outer wall of the air duct 300, and the at least two extension parts 310 are arranged in sequence and at intervals, so that the interval between the adjacent two extension parts 310 can form the wire routing groove 301, and at least one of the first extension part 310 and the last extension part 310 is spaced apart from the outer wall of the air duct 300, and the same can form the wire routing groove 301 for the wire harness 400 to pass through. The groove-shaped wire routing groove 301 structure formed by the extension part 310 is more stable and reliable than the wire harness fixed by the clamping hook. In this way, the formation of the wire routing groove 301 is relatively simple and convenient.

[0061] In the present embodiment, two extension parts 310 are arranged, one of which is spaced apart from the outer wall of the air duct 300 to jointly form two wire routing grooves 301.

[0062] In other embodiments, more than three extension parts 310 can be arranged to form wire routing grooves 301 with the same number of extension parts 310, which is not limited in the present application.

[0063] And in some embodiments, the wire slot 301 can also be formed by the extension 310 arranged at intervals, with the number of the extension 310 reduced by one, which is not limited in the application.

[0064] The length of the extension 310 can be greater than or equal to the diameter of the two wire harnesses 400, so that the wire slot 301 can accommodate at least two wire harnesses 400 in the depth direction, improving the accommodation limit of the wire slot 301.

[0065] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 5 The at least one extension 310 has a guide port 311.

[0066] The guide port 311 is located at one end of the extension 310 away from the air duct 300, and the caliber of the guide port 311 is greater than the caliber of the slot of the wire slot 301. When the wire harness 400 is threaded in the wire slot 301, the guide port 311 can make the wire harness 400 more easily enter the wire slot 301, reducing the difficulty of threading the wire harness 400.

[0067] In the embodiment, the guide port 311 is located on the extension 310 close to the outer wall of the air duct 300, and faces the wire slot 301 on the entering side of the wire harness 400, so that the wire is more easily threaded into the wire slot 301.

[0068] In other embodiments, the guide port 311 can also be arranged on the extension 310 close to the outer wall of the air duct 300, facing the wire slot 301 on the exiting side of the wire harness 400, so that the extension 310 has the guide port 311 on both sides, or the guide port 311 structure is arranged on the side of the extension 310 facing the wire slot 301, which is not limited in the application.

[0069] And in some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 And Figure 4 The at least one extension 310 has a stop section 312 bent towards the water receiving member 200.

[0070] It can be understood that by arranging the stop section 312 bent towards the water receiving member 200, the wire harness 400 threaded in the wire slot 301 can be prevented from coming out of the stop section 312, ensuring that the wire harness 400 is stable and reliable in the wire slot 301.

[0071] In the embodiment, the stop section 312 is arranged at the end of the middle extension 310. In other embodiments, when the extension 310 forms three and more wire slots 301, the stop section 312 can also be arranged on the remaining extensions 310 except the first and last extensions 310, which is not limited in the application.

[0072] And, a plurality of stop segments 312 can be arranged in sequence and at intervals along the extension direction of the extension portion 310, so as to sequentially separate the wire harness 400 in the wire slot 301 by the plurality of stop segments 312, and the arrangement of the wire harness 400 is more clear and reasonable.

[0073] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the bottom of the air duct piece 300 is provided with a water storage portion 320, the water storage portion 320 is used to contain the condensed water on the air duct piece 300, and the water storage portion 320 is in communication with the water receiving piece 200.

[0074] It can be understood that, in addition to the evaporator and the wire harness 400 on which the condensed water is condensed, the air duct piece 300 also condenses the condensed water in the shell, and the main body of the air duct piece 300 is located outside the water receiving piece 200, so that the condensed water on the air duct piece 300 cannot smoothly drip into the water receiving piece 200, and the cleaning is not convenient.

[0075] Therefore, the water storage portion 320 is arranged at the bottom of the air duct piece 300, so that the water storage portion 320 receives the condensed water on the air duct piece 300, and the splashing of the condensed water is avoided, and the water storage portion 320 can be arranged in communication with the water receiving piece 200, so that when the condensed water is accumulated on the water storage portion 320, the water storage portion 320 can also drain the condensed water into the water receiving piece 200, and the condensed water is drained through the water receiving piece 200.

[0076] The water storage portion 320 can be in communication with the water receiving piece 200 through a water guide pipeline or a water guide hole, and the present application does not limit this.

[0077] And in some embodiments, with reference to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the water storage portion 320 is provided with a drainage port 321, the drainage port 321 is located on one side of the wire slot 301, and the water storage portion 320 is in communication with the water receiving piece 200 through the drainage port 321.

[0078] It can be understood that the extension portion 310 itself is located above the water receiving piece 200, and the projection of the extension portion 310 towards the water receiving piece 200 is located in the water receiving piece 200, so that the water storage portion 320 is arranged to extend to one side of the wire slot 301, and the drainage port 321 is arranged on the part of the water storage portion 320, so that the water storage portion 320 can use the existing structure to drain the condensed water in the water storage portion 320 into the water receiving piece 200, and the overall structure of the air conditioner support structure is simple and compact.

[0079] In addition, with reference to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the air duct piece 300 is provided with a wire clamping portion 330, and the wire clamping portion 330 is used to clamp the wire harness 400 that passes through the wire slot 301.

[0080] The line clamping portion 330 is arranged on the air duct 300 to clamp and fix the wire harness 400 that is threaded out of the wire routing groove 301, so as to prevent the wire harness 400 from swinging or from contacting the condensed water in the water storage portion 320.

[0081] The line clamping portion 330 and the wire routing groove 301 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the water storage portion 320.

[0082] The line clamping portion 330 and the wire routing groove 301 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the water storage portion 320, so that the wire harness that is threaded out of the wire routing groove 301 is arranged above the water storage portion 320, which facilitates the arrangement of the wire harness 400 and avoids the wire harness 400 from contacting the condensed water in the water storage portion 320.

[0083] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 5 The water receiving member 200 is integrally formed with the evaporator bracket 100.

[0084] It can be understood that the water receiving member 200 is integrally formed with the evaporator bracket 100, so that the water receiving tray structure is omitted and connected with the evaporator bracket 100, which makes the air conditioner bracket structure simpler and ensures the stable and reliable connection between the water receiving member 200 and the evaporator bracket 100.

[0085] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, which comprises an air conditioner body and the air conditioner bracket structure in any of the above embodiments arranged on the air conditioner body.

[0086] The air conditioner bracket structure has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be described here again.

[0087] The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises the evaporator bracket 100 and the air duct 300 connected with the evaporator bracket 100. The water receiving member 200 is arranged on the evaporator bracket 100, and at least two wire routing grooves 301 for bending the wire harness 400 to form a water return bend are arranged on the air duct 300. The wire routing groove 301 is arranged above the water receiving member 200, and the projection of the wire routing groove 301 towards the water receiving member 200 is arranged in the water receiving member 200. When the condensed water on the wire harness 400 flows to the water return bend, the condensed water drops into the water receiving member 200 under the action of gravity, and does not continuously flow along the wire harness 400 to the electrical element, so as to prevent the electrical element from being damaged by water.

[0088] The at least two wire routing grooves 301 can accommodate at least one wire harness 400. When the wire harness 400 is threaded, the wire harness 400 is threaded into one of the wire routing grooves 301 and threaded out of the other wire routing groove 301, so that the wire harness 400 is conveniently and reliably threaded and arranged.
