[0028] In the prior art, the air conditioner completes the conversion of heat through the circulation of refrigerant. For example, when refrigerating, the refrigerant is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure steam under the action of the compressor, and then discharged into the condenser. The refrigerant vapor exchanges heat with outdoor air, condenses into liquid and releases heat. The liquid refrigerant is reduced in pressure and temperature by the expansion valve and enters the evaporator. In the evaporator, the refrigerant absorbs the heat of indoor air and evaporates, thereby reducing the indoor temperature, and the evaporated refrigerant is sucked into the compressor again.

[0029] In the working process of an air conditioner, a temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of the external environment, so as to perform a series of controls such as temperature control and power control. In the related temperature sensor installation method, a bracket is often used to fix the temperature sensor, and the bracket is often connected with the shell by a screw fixing mode. The installation is complex, the efficiency is low, and the cost is high.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides an air conditioner outer shell assembly, which comprises a shell 100 and a mounting bracket 200. The shell 100 has a side plate 110 and a top plate 120, and the top plate 120 is installed at the upper end of the side plate 110. The mounting bracket 200 has a mounting position for mounting a sensor, and the mounting bracket 200 is installed at the upper end of the side plate 110 by a buckle structure.

[0031] The shell 100 comprises the top plate 120 and the side plate 110, and the shell is divided into several components for installation, which facilitates production, transportation and the like. The mounting bracket 200 is used to mount the sensor on the shell 100 and serves as a connecting piece. The part of the mounting bracket 200 connected to the side plate 110 is clamped by a buckle. The mounting bracket 200 is installed at the upper end of the side plate 110, and the mounting bracket 200 can be pressed from top to bottom during construction, which conforms to ergonomics and reduces the work burden of the installer. The connection of the sensor to the mounting bracket 200 can also be achieved by clamping with a buckle or other means. The buckle clamping method can quickly install the sensor without the need for threaded parts. During installation, the sensor is first installed in the mounting bracket 200, then the mounting bracket 200 is installed on the side plate 110 from top to bottom, and finally the top plate 120 is installed. As can be seen from the above description, during the installation of the mounting bracket 200 on the side plate 110, no threaded parts are used, and the mounting bracket 200 can be assembled with the side plate 110 by directly cooperating with the upper end of the side plate 110 by using a buckle structure. The process is very simple, no threaded parts are needed, and the overall cost of the air conditioner outer shell assembly can be effectively reduced.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 200 comprises a bracket box 210 and a bracket fixing part 220, and the mounting position is arranged in the bracket box 210, and the buckle structure is arranged in the bracket fixing part 220. The bracket box 210 and the bracket fixing part 220 belong to an integrated structure, which greatly reduces the assembly steps between components, improves production efficiency, and also reduces the risk of failure caused by improper assembly.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the bracket box member 210 is cuboid-shaped and is provided with a groove 212; the groove 212 is arranged with a sensor mounting buckle set 211 for mounting the sensor. The bracket box member 210 is the part connecting the mounting bracket 200 and the sensor as described above. After the sensor is mounted into the groove 212, at least part of the sensor is surrounded by the sidewall of the groove 212, which can protect the sensor to some extent and reduce the possibility of the sensor being hit. In addition, the overall thickness of the bracket box member 210 and the sensor after assembly can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall width of the air conditioner outdoor unit shell assembly, reducing the width of the packaging material, and thereby saving packaging costs. The groove 212 is provided with a sensor mounting buckle set 211 at the bottom to clamp the sensor. The sensor can be quickly mounted by using the sensor mounting buckle set 211, and no other fasteners are required during the mounting process.

[0034] It should be noted that the mounting method of the sensor is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In some embodiments of the present application, the sensor can also be mounted into the bracket box member 210 by other means, for example, a clamping hoop can be pre-set on the bracket box member 210 to fix the sensor, which can also achieve quick mounting of the sensor.

[0035] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 In some embodiments, the sensor mounting buckle set 211 includes a plurality of pairs of buckles arranged along the length direction of the groove 212. The space between the plurality of pairs of buckles constitutes a mounting position. By arranging a plurality of pairs of buckles, the size of the buckle can be relatively small. The buckle has a certain elasticity. When the buckle is not subjected to external force, the internal space cross section of the buckle is smaller than the cross section of the sensor. The sensor is pushed into each pair of buckles by external force, so that the buckle is separated and then clamps the sensor. Using a plurality of pairs of buckles to clamp the sensor can ensure the stability of the sensor installation. Compared with arranging a large-size buckle, the production material can be saved and the production cost can be reduced.

[0036] As shown in the drawings, Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the upper end of the side plate 110 is provided with an inner recessed mounting groove 112, and the bracket box member 210 is located in the area of the mounting groove 112; the bracket fixing member 220 includes a first clamping section 221, a second clamping section 222 and a third clamping section 223. The first clamping section 221 and the third clamping section 223 are arranged in parallel and not located in the same plane; the second clamping section 222 is respectively connected to the first clamping section 221 and the third clamping section 223; the first clamping section 221 is held at the side plate 110 provided with the mounting groove 112; the bracket box member 210 is connected to the side of the first clamping section 221; the third clamping section 223 is held at the side plate 110 not provided with the mounting groove 112; the first clamping section 221, the second clamping section 222 and the third clamping section 223 are all provided with a U-shaped clamping groove 225.

[0037] The mounting groove 112 is an inner recessed area on the upper end of the side plate 110 for mounting the mounting bracket 200. When the mounting bracket 200 is mounted to the mounting groove 112, since the mounting groove 112 is an inner recessed area, the mounting bracket 200 is in a state of being at least partially hidden after assembly is completed, reducing the possibility of the mounting bracket 200 being impacted and protecting the mounting bracket 200.

[0038] The first clamping section 221, the second clamping section 222 and the third clamping section 223 are portions of the bracket fixing member 220 for clamping the side plate 110 and are each provided with a clamping groove 225 in the shape of a U. The clamping groove 225 of the first clamping section 221 penetrates the first clamping section 221, the clamping groove 225 of the second clamping section 222 penetrates the second clamping section 222, and the clamping groove 225 of the third clamping section 223 penetrates the third clamping section 223.

[0039] In this way, the three clamping grooves are connected to form a clamping groove 225 in the shape of a whole ladder. When the mounting bracket 220 is mounted and subjected to a force in the front-rear direction, the first clamping section 221 and the third clamping section 223 are limited by the side plate 110; when subjected to a force in the left-right direction, the second clamping section 222 is limited by the side plate 110 (at the left side wall of the mounting groove) to achieve the purpose of fixedly mounting the mounting bracket 200.

[0040] In addition, those skilled in the art can understand that the three clamping grooves 225 can also be independently provided without being connected to each other, and can also achieve the effect of mounting the bracket fixing member 220 to the side plate 110.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the rear portion of the third clamping section 223 is provided with a wire clamp 224, and the side wall of the bracket box member 210 is provided with a notch 213 for passing the wire. The third clamping section 223 is the last section as mentioned above. When the air conditioner is working, the sensor obtains power through the wire and transmits data to the control unit. By providing the wire clamp 224 on the third clamping section 223, when the sensor is mounted, the sensor wire is led out from the notch 213 of the bracket box member 210, passes through the wire clamp 224 and is clamped, fixing the position of the sensor wire.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the surface of the side plate 110 is provided with a protrusion 111 for limiting the lateral movement of the mounting bracket 200. The protrusion 111 is arranged at the side of the mounting position of the mounting bracket 200 in the shell 100. The shell will vibrate when the air conditioner is working, and the mounting bracket 200 may

[0043] AsFigure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the top plate 120 and the side plate 110 are connected by threaded fittings. The top plate 120 is located above the mounting bracket 200 and can prevent the mounting bracket 200 from separating from the side plate 110 from above. When the air conditioner is working, the outdoor unit will vibrate. After prolonged use, the mounting bracket 200 may experience upward displacement, leading to loosening. The purpose of setting the top plate 120 to prevent the mounting bracket 200 from separating from the side plate 110 is to prevent the mounting bracket 200 from becoming loose.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model also provides an air conditioner, including a sensor and an air conditioner outdoor unit housing assembly according to the first aspect embodiment, wherein the sensor is installed at the aforementioned mounting position.

[0045] When assembling the above-mentioned air conditioner outdoor unit housing assembly, the mounting bracket 200 is installed on the upper end of the side plate 110 through a snap-fit ​​structure, then the top plate 120 is installed on the side plate 110, and finally the sensor is installed in the mounting position. The installation of the mounting bracket 200 does not require other fasteners, which can reduce the operation of fasteners, thereby reducing parts and installation time, and reducing assembly costs.

[0046] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
