[0037] The suspended ceiling includes a fixed bracket and multiple hanging panels. The fixed bracket defines multiple installation openings, and each hanging panel is connected to the fixed bracket and covers each installation opening.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0045] In the technical solution of this utility model, the air conditioner includes a first heat exchange component, a second heat exchange component, and a connecting component. The connecting component is adapted to connect the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component respectively. The first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are adapted to be spaced apart, and both the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are adapted to be installed between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling. Compared with the related technology where the first heat exchange component is located indoors and the second heat exchange component is located outdoors, since the second heat exchange component is located indoors between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling in this solution, there is no need to reserve an installation structure for the second heat exchange component outside the building. On the one hand, this expands the applicable scenarios of the air conditioner (for example, the air conditioner can be installed in kitchens and other scenarios where there is no reserved installation structure for the air conditioner outdoors). On the other hand, since installers do not need to set up safety ropes to go outdoors to install the second heat exchange component, the installation difficulty of the second heat exchange component is also reduced.

[0046] Furthermore, in this solution, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are preferably arranged at intervals, and the connecting component is configured to connect the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component respectively, allowing relative movement between the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component. Compared to the related technology where the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are connected as one unit, and the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component cannot generate relative movement after the connecting component connects them, in this solution, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component in the air conditioner can be installed separately. Specifically, during installation, the first heat exchange component can be installed first, followed by the second heat exchange component, and then the connecting component connects the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component. During this installation process, when the installation opening size of the fixed bracket in the ceiling is small, it is easier to install the air conditioner, and the size requirements for the installation opening are lower.

[0047] Furthermore, since the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are suitable for being set at intervals, and the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component can move relative to each other before installation, the arrangement position of the second heat exchange component is not limited by the position of the first heat exchange component. The second heat exchange component can be set according to the position of the exhaust vent connecting the building to the outside. The arrangement of the second heat exchange component is more flexible, which reduces the installation difficulty of the pipe components that are connected to the second heat exchange component and the exhaust vent respectively.

[0075] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0076] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0077] The air conditioner includes a first heat exchange component and a second heat exchange component, which are connected and operate in opposite modes. When the first heat exchange component is used for heating, the second heat exchange component is used to acquire heat; when the first heat exchange component is used for cooling, the second heat exchange component is used to dissipate heat. In related technologies, the first heat dissipation component is located indoors, and the second heat exchange component is located outdoors. However, in some scenarios, there may not be a suitable location outdoors for installing the second heat exchange component, making its installation more complicated.

[0078] Furthermore, the applicant initially considered that when there was no outdoor installation structure for the air conditioner, the first and second heat exchange components could be integrated, and the integrated air conditioner could be installed between the indoor ceiling and the suspended ceiling, thus allowing the second heat exchange component to be installed indoors and reducing its installation difficulty. However, the applicant discovered that the indoor suspended ceiling includes a fixed bracket and multiple hanging plates. The fixed bracket has multiple installation openings, and each hanging plate corresponds to and covers one of the installation openings and is connected to the fixed bracket. Because the first and second heat exchange components are integrated, the overall size of the air conditioner is relatively large, while the size of the installation openings in the suspended ceiling is limited. Therefore, when the installation opening size is small, it is necessary to cut off some members of the fixed bracket during the air conditioner installation process to increase the size of the installation opening and facilitate the installation of the air conditioner. This solution reduces the structural strength of the fixed bracket and increases the installation complexity of the air conditioner. Furthermore, since the second heat exchange component is integrated with the first heat exchange component, the arrangement of the second heat exchange component is constrained by the arrangement of the first heat exchange component. When the arrangement of the first heat exchange component is far from the exhaust vent connected to the outside, the installation of the pipe assembly connecting the exhaust vent and the second heat exchange component is relatively more troublesome.

[0079] Reference Figures 1 to 14 This application provides an air conditioner 100 in its first aspect embodiment, which is easy to install. It is understood that the air conditioner 100 can be used in indoor spaces such as kitchens, living rooms, offices, or bedrooms. This embodiment uses the air conditioner 100 used in a kitchen as an example for explanation. It should be noted that the room has a ceiling 30, which is the floor slab on the upper side of the room. A suspended ceiling 20 is connected to the ceiling 30 or a vertical wall on the side and is located below the ceiling 30. The suspended ceiling 20 includes a fixed bracket 21 and multiple hanging plates 22. The fixed bracket 21 defines multiple mounting openings 23, and each hanging plate 22 can be connected to the fixed bracket 21, and each hanging plate 22 can correspondingly cover each mounting opening 23. Further, the fixed bracket 21 can be composed of multiple ribs arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0080] The following reference Figures 1 to 14 The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of this application will be introduced. Specifically, the air conditioner 100 includes a first heat exchange component 110 and a second heat exchange component 120. The specific configuration and function of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are different.

[0081] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8The first heat exchange assembly 110 is used for indoor heat exchange. The first heat exchange assembly 110 includes a first heat exchanger 112. Specifically, the first heat exchanger 112 is an evaporator, in which the refrigerant changes from a liquid to a gaseous state, thus absorbing indoor heat and achieving cooling. The first heat exchange assembly 110 includes a first housing 111, which is adapted to accommodate the first heat exchanger 112. The first housing 111 defines a first cavity 113, in which the first heat exchanger 112 can be housed.

[0082] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second heat exchange assembly 120 is used for outdoor heat exchange. The second heat exchange assembly 120 includes a second heat exchanger 122. Specifically, the second heat exchanger 122 is a condenser that can receive heat from a gaseous refrigerator and release the heat to the outdoor environment through airflow. The second heat exchange assembly 120 includes a second housing 121, which is adapted to accommodate the arrangement of the second heat exchanger 122. The second housing 121 defines a second cavity 123 in which the second heat exchanger 122 can be housed. Exemplarily, the second heat exchanger 122 can be "U-shaped," "I-shaped," or "L-shaped," etc.

[0083] Reference Figures 7 to 14 The second heat exchange component 120 is adapted to be arranged at a distance from the first heat exchange component 110. (Refer to...) Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are arranged with a small gap. Specifically, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 may be separated by only a single keel. (Refer to...) Figure 13 In other embodiments, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are arranged with a large gap. Specifically, the gap between the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component 120 can also be greater than the size of a single hanging plate 22. In other embodiments, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can also pass through the keel and be connected to each other as a whole. Further, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can pass through the side of the keel facing the ceiling 30 and be connected to each other as a whole, or they can pass through the side of the keel away from the ceiling 30 and be connected to each other as a whole.

[0084] Reference Figures 1 to 4The connecting component 130 is adapted to connect to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, enabling heat circulation between them. The connecting component 130 and the first heat exchange component 110 can be integrally connected or detachably connected. In some embodiments, the connecting component 130 is detachably connected to the first heat exchange component 110, and can be screwed to and electrically connected to the first heat exchange component 110. In other embodiments, the connecting component 130 can be snap-fitted to and electrically connected to the first heat exchange component 110. In other embodiments, the connecting component 130 can be both screwed and snap-fitted to the first heat exchange component 110, and is electrically connected to it. It should be noted that the connection configuration of the connecting component 130 on the second heat exchange component 120 can be the same as or different from the connection configuration of the connecting component 130 on the first heat exchange component 110, depending on the specific circumstances. In some embodiments, the connecting component 130 may be integrally connected to both the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, and after the connecting component 130 is connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, relative movement may occur between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 before all installation steps of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are completed. In this case, the connecting component 130 may be movably connected to both the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, meaning the connecting component 130 may be movable relative to at least one of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. Alternatively, the connecting component 130 may be flexibly connected to both the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, meaning the connecting component 130 may undergo recoverable deformation.

[0085] Reference Figures 7 to 12 The specific locations of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are described below. Both the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are suitable for installation between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20. The space between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20 is defined as follows: the area from the ceiling 30 to the bottom wall of the suspended ceiling 20 (the wall of the suspended ceiling 20 facing away from the ceiling 30) can be considered as the space between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20. It can be understood that in some embodiments, both the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can be located between the ceiling 30 and the top wall of the suspended ceiling 20 (the wall of the suspended ceiling 20 facing the ceiling 30). In other embodiments, both the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can be located between the ceiling 30 and the bottom wall of the suspended ceiling 20.

[0086] Compared to the related technologies where the first heat exchange component 110 is located indoors and the second heat exchange component 120 is located outdoors, in this solution the second heat exchange component 120 is located between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20 indoors. Therefore, there is no need to reserve an installation structure for the second heat exchange component 120 outside the building. This expands the applicable scenarios of the air conditioner 100 (for example, the air conditioner 100 can be installed in kitchens and other scenarios where there is no reserved installation structure for the air conditioner 100 outdoors). On the other hand, since installers do not need to set up safety ropes to go outdoors to install the second heat exchange component 120, the installation difficulty of the second heat exchange component 120 is also reduced.

[0087] Furthermore, in this solution, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are adapted to be spaced apart, and the connecting component 130 is adapted to be connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. The connecting component 130 is configured to connect the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 respectively, so that the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can move relative to each other. Compared to the related technologies where the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are integrated, and the air conditioner 100 is manufactured with the connecting component 130, the first heat exchange component 110, and the second heat exchange component 120 connected as a single unit, in this solution, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 of the air conditioner 100 can be installed separately. Specifically, the first heat exchange component 110 can be installed first, followed by the second heat exchange component 120, and then the connecting component 130 can be used to connect the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. During this installation process, when the size of the mounting opening 23 of the fixing bracket 21 in the ceiling 20 is small, it is easier to install the air conditioner 100, and the size requirements for the mounting opening 23 are lower.

[0088] Specifically, when the connecting component 130 is detachably connected to at least one of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, the installation of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can proceed independently. In this case, after the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are installed respectively, the connecting component 130 is then connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 respectively. When the connecting component 130 is integrally connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, during the installation of the air conditioner 100, the first heat exchange component 110 can be passed through the installation opening 23 of the ceiling 20 first. Since the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can move relative to each other before installation, although the connecting component 130 has a certain restraining effect on the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, it still does not affect the installation of the first heat exchange component 110. After the first heat exchange component 110 passes through the mounting port 23, the second heat exchange component 120 passes through the same mounting port 23. Finally, the positions of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are adjusted so that the first heat exchange component 110, the second heat exchange component 120 and the connecting component 130 are all located between the fixed bracket 21 of the suspended ceiling 20 and the ceiling.

[0089] Furthermore, since the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are suitable for being arranged at intervals, the arrangement position of the second heat exchange component 120 is not limited by the position of the first heat exchange component 110. The second heat exchange component 120 can be arranged according to the position of the exhaust vent connecting the building to the outside. The arrangement of the second heat exchange component 120 is more flexible, which reduces the installation difficulty of the pipe components that are connected to the second heat exchange component 120 and the exhaust vent respectively.

[0090] Reference Figures 3 to 6 The airflow configuration of the air conditioner 100 is described below. In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 includes a panel assembly 140, which can be used for airflow guidance. The panel assembly 140 can be located on the side of the air conditioner 100 facing the room. The panel assembly 140 is provided with a first air outlet 143. The first housing 111 of the first heat exchange assembly 110 is provided with a second air outlet 115, which can be adapted to the arrangement of the first air outlet 143. It should be noted that the panel assembly 140 may also include components such as a display module and a wireless receiving module (which can be used for remote control).

[0091] Refer to 3. Figure 5 and Figure 10The following describes some specific configurations of the panel assembly 140. In some embodiments, the panel assembly 140 includes a main panel 141, which has a first air outlet 143. Specifically, the main panel 141 can be connected to the lower end of the first housing 111, such that the first air outlet 143 and the second air outlet 115 are in communication with each other, that is, the airflow of the first heat exchange component 110 can be guided from the second air outlet 115 to the first air outlet 143. The main panel 141 can be directly connected to the first housing 111 or indirectly connected to the first housing 111, see [reference]. Figure 3 The main panel 141 is directly connected to the first housing 111, see [reference]. Figure 4 In other embodiments, the panel assembly 140 may further include an air guide shell 142, through which the main panel 141 is indirectly connected to the first housing 111. In other embodiments, the main panel 141 may also be suspended from the ceiling 30. In other embodiments, the main panel 141 may also be fixedly connected to the keel. The specific connection position of the main panel 141 may be determined according to the actual situation. It should be noted that when the distance between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 is small (only a single keel, etc.), the main panel 141 may also be connected to the lower end of the second housing 121. This application embodiment takes the connection of the main panel 141 to the first housing 111 as an example. In this solution, the main panel 141 is directly connected to the first housing 111 of the first heat exchange component 110. Since the first heat exchange component 110 is used for heat exchange in the indoor space, it is arranged near the indoor space side, which facilitates the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the panel assembly 140 and ensures installation and disassembly efficiency.

[0092] Reference Figure 4The following describes some specific configurations of other panel components 140. In some embodiments, panel component 140 includes a main panel 141 and an air guide shell 142. The main panel 141 is provided with a first air outlet 143, and one end of the air guide shell 142 is connected to the main panel 141 and communicates with the first air outlet 143. The end of the air guide shell 142 facing away from the main panel 141 can be connected to the first housing 111 and communicates with the second air outlet 115, that is, the airflow of the first heat exchange component 110 can be guided by the second air outlet 115 to the air guide shell 142, and then by the air guide shell 142 to the first air outlet 143. In some embodiments, the second air outlet 115 can be located below the first housing 111, in which case the air guide shell 142 is connected to the lower end of the first housing 111. In other embodiments, the second air outlet 115 can be located on both sides of the first housing 111 in the lateral direction, in which case the air guide shell 142 can be connected to both sides of the first housing 111 in the lateral direction. The panel assembly 140 of this solution includes a main panel 141 and an air guide shell 142, which can effectively increase the air guide distance of the panel assembly 140 and ensure the heat exchange effect. In addition, it can also avoid the situation where the airflow is disorderly flowing inside the ceiling 20 and causing heat exchange loss, and can be adapted to the installation of large-size (height dimension) ceiling 20 structures.

[0093] Reference Figure 4 The following describes the relative connection arrangements between the panel assembly 140 and each heat exchange component. In some embodiments, the panel assembly 140 is connected to the first housing 111. Specifically, the panel may be connected to the lower end of the first housing 111. When the panel is connected to the lower end of the first housing 111, along the vertical direction, referring to... Figure 11 In terms of orientation, specifically along the vertical direction, the panel assembly 140 covers the first housing 111. This design can reduce the spatial volume of the panel assembly 140, lower its processing cost, and facilitate its assembly and disassembly. In other embodiments, the panel assembly 140 is connected to the first housing 111. Specifically, the panel assembly 140 can be connected to the lower end of the first housing 111. When the panel is connected to the lower end of the first housing 111, along the vertical direction, referring to... Figure 10 In terms of orientation, specifically along the vertical direction, the panel assembly 140 covers both the first housing 111 and the second housing 121. This design provides a more stable assembly connection for the panel assembly 140 and facilitates monitoring the operating status of the second heat exchange assembly 120, thus simplifying maintenance. In other embodiments, the panel assembly 140 may also cover only a portion of the first housing 111 and the second housing 121.

[0094] Reference Figure 12The specific configuration of the main panel 141 is described below. In some embodiments, the main panel 141 includes a first panel 1411 and a second panel 1412. The structure of the second panel 1412 may be the same as or different from that of the first panel 1411. It should be noted that the first panel 1411 and the second panel 1412 are arranged separately. The first panel 1411 is provided with a first air outlet 143, that is, the airflow of the first heat exchange component 110 is suitable to be discharged through the first panel 1411.

[0095] The relative arrangement of the first panel 1411 and the first housing 111 is described below. The first panel 1411 is connected to the first housing 111. Specifically, the first panel 1411 can be connected to the lower end of the first housing 111. When the first panel 1411 is connected to the lower end of the first housing 111, along the vertical direction, referring to... Figure 12 In terms of orientation, i.e., along the vertical direction, the first panel 1411 can cover the first housing 111.

[0096] The relative arrangement of the second panel 1412 and the second housing 121 is described below. The second panel 1412 is connected to the second housing 121. Specifically, the second panel 1412 can be connected to the lower end of the second housing 121. When the second panel 1412 is connected to the lower end of the second housing 121, along the vertical direction, refer to... Figure 12 In terms of orientation, i.e., along the vertical direction, the second panel 1412 can cover the second housing 121.

[0097] In this design, the first panel 1411 covers the first housing 111, and the second panel 1412 covers the second housing 121. The first panel 1411 and the second panel 1412 are set separately, which allows both the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 to have multiple installation positions, enabling the air conditioner 100 to adapt to the requirements of various installation scenarios.

[0098] Reference Figure 4 It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the panel assembly 140 includes an air guide shell 142, the air guide shell 142 can be connected to the first panel 1411. That is, the air guide shell 142 can guide the airflow of the first heat exchange assembly 110 to the first panel 1411, and then the airflow is led out of the first panel 1411 to the indoor space, and the reliability of the assembly connection of the air guide shell 142 can be guaranteed.

[0099] Reference Figure 6The relative arrangement of the first panel 1411 and the second panel 1412 is described below. In some embodiments, the first panel 1411 includes a first connecting structure 1413, and the second panel 1412 includes a second connecting structure 1414. The second connecting structure 1414 can be adapted to fit the first connecting structure 1413. The first connecting structure 1413 is adapted to detachably connect the second connecting structure 1414, so that the first panel 1411 and the second panel 1412 are connected as a single structure.

[0100] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first connecting structure 1413 may be provided with a locking block, and the second connecting structure 1414 may be provided with a locking slot, wherein the locking block can be engaged with the locking slot. In other embodiments, the first connecting structure 1413 may be provided with a screw, and the second connecting structure 1414 may be provided with a screw hole, wherein the screw can be threaded into the screw hole. The specific connection configuration of the first connecting structure 1413 and the second connecting structure 1414 may be determined according to the actual situation.

[0101] The first connection structure 1413 of this solution can be detachably connected to the second connection structure 1414, which can effectively improve the stability of the assembly connection between the first panel 1411 and the second panel 1412, ensure the reliability of the overall structure of the panel assembly 140, and can be combined and separated according to actual needs, thus meeting the installation requirements of various application scenarios.

[0102] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The specific configuration of the connection component 130 is described below. In some embodiments, the connection component 130 includes wires and heat exchange pipes. The wires are used to electrically connect the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. The heat exchange pipes are used to connect the first heat exchanger 112 and the second heat exchanger 122, so that the heat exchange medium circulates between the first heat exchanger 112 and the second heat exchanger 122. This solution facilitates the connection of the connection component 130 between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, and can ensure the reliability of the air conditioner 100 operation. In other embodiments, the connection component 130 includes wires, a water pipe, and heat exchange pipes. The water pipe can guide the condensate in the first heat exchange component 110 to the second heat exchange component 120, and then discharge the condensate to the outside. This solution can effectively reduce the leakage and accumulation of condensate indoors, and improve the user experience.

[0103] Reference Figure 1 The specific dimensions of the first housing 111 are described below. In some embodiments, the width A1 of the first housing 111 in the lateral direction satisfies: 260mm ≤ A1 ≤ 265mm. For example, A1 can be 260mm, 262mm, 264mm, or 265mm, etc. In this solution, the lateral dimension of the first housing 111 is smaller than the size of the mounting opening 23, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first heat exchange assembly 110.

[0104] Reference Figure 1 In other embodiments, the lateral width A1 of the first housing 111 satisfies the following condition: 265mm ≤ A1 ≤ 300mm. For example, A1 can be 265mm, 270mm, 285mm, 290mm, or 300mm, etc. In this solution, the lateral dimension of the first housing 111 is larger than the size of the mounting opening 23, meaning the first heat exchanger 112 can be configured with a larger volume, enhancing the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that even when the lateral dimension of the first housing 111 is larger than the size of the mounting opening 23, when installing the first heat exchange assembly 110, only a single hanging plate 22 can be removed to expose a single mounting opening 23. Specifically, the first housing 111 is angled laterally so that the higher end of the first housing 111 is first inserted through the installation port 23. Then the first housing 111 is pushed laterally so that the lower end of the first housing 111 is inserted through the installation port 23, so that the first heat exchange component 110 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20.

[0105] Reference Figure 1 The specific dimensions of the first housing 111 are described below. In some embodiments, the lateral length A2 of the first housing 111 satisfies: 500mm ≤ A2 ≤ 600mm. For example, A2 can be 500mm, 510mm, 525mm, 548mm, 570mm, 583mm, 596mm, or 600mm, etc. In this solution, the lateral length of the first housing 111 is smaller than the size of the mounting opening 23, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first heat exchange assembly 110.

[0106] Reference Figure 1 In other embodiments, the lateral length A2 of the first housing 111 satisfies: 600mm ≤ A2 ≤ 631mm. For example, A2 can be 600mm, 605mm, 614mm, 620mm, 625mm, or 631mm, etc. In this solution, the lateral length of the first housing 111 is greater than the size of the mounting opening 23, meaning the first heat exchanger 112 can be configured with a larger volume, enhancing the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that even when the lateral length of the first housing 111 is greater than the size of the mounting opening 23, when installing the first heat exchange assembly 110, only a single hanging plate 22 can be removed to expose a single mounting opening 23. Specifically, the first housing 111 is angled laterally so that the higher end of the first housing 111 is first inserted through the installation port 23. Then the first housing 111 is pushed laterally so that the lower end of the first housing 111 is inserted through the installation port 23, so that the first heat exchange component 110 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20.

[0107] Reference Figure 1The specific dimensions of the second housing 121 are described below. In some embodiments, the width B1 of the second housing 121 in the lateral direction satisfies: 260mm ≤ B1 ≤ 265mm. For example, B1 can be 260mm, 262mm, 264mm, or 265mm, etc. In this solution, the width of the second housing 121 in the lateral direction is smaller than the size of the mounting opening 23, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first heat exchange assembly 110.

[0108] Reference Figure 1 In other embodiments, the lateral width B1 of the second housing 121 satisfies: 265mm ≤ B1 ≤ 300mm. For example, B1 can be 265mm, 270mm, 275mm, 283mm, 290mm, or 300mm, etc. In this solution, the lateral width of the second housing 121 is greater than the size of the mounting opening 23, meaning the second heat exchanger 122 can be configured with a larger volume, enhancing the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. It is understood that even when the lateral width of the second housing 121 is greater than the size of the mounting opening 23, when installing the second heat exchange assembly 120, only a single hanging plate 22 can be removed to expose a single mounting opening 23. Specifically, the second housing 121 is angled laterally so that the higher end of the second housing 121 is first inserted through the installation port 23. Then the second housing 121 is pushed laterally so that the lower end of the second housing 121 is inserted through the installation port 23, so that the second heat exchange component 120 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20.

[0109] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the lateral dimension of the first housing 111 is much larger than the size of the mounting port 23, a larger volume first heat exchanger 112 can be installed, enhancing the heat exchange effect. In this case, the keel can be directly cut during installation, allowing multiple mounting ports 23 to be interconnected, thereby enabling the installation of the first heat exchange component 110.

[0110] Reference Figure 1 The specific dimensions of the second housing 121 are described below. In some embodiments, the lateral length B2 of the second housing 121 satisfies: 500mm ≤ B2 ≤ 600mm. For example, B2 can be 500mm, 515mm, 534mm, 548mm, 560mm, 580mm, or 600mm, etc. In this solution, the lateral length of the second housing 121 is smaller than the size of the mounting opening 23, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the second heat exchange assembly 120.

[0111] Reference Figure 1In other embodiments, the lateral width B2 of the second housing 121 satisfies: 600mm ≤ B2 ≤ 631mm. For example, B2 can be 600mm, 610mm, 615mm, 620mm, or 631mm, etc. In this solution, the lateral dimension of the second housing 121 is larger than the size of the mounting opening 23, meaning the second heat exchanger 122 can be configured with a larger volume, enhancing the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that even when the lateral dimension of the second housing 121 is larger than the size of the mounting opening 23, when installing the second heat exchange assembly 120, only a single hanging plate 22 can be removed to expose a single mounting opening 23. Specifically, the second housing 121 is angled laterally so that the higher end of the second housing 121 is first inserted through the installation port 23. Then the second housing 121 is pushed laterally so that the lower end of the second housing 121 is inserted through the installation port 23, so that the second heat exchange component 120 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20.

[0112] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the lateral dimension of the second housing 121 is much larger than the size of the mounting port 23, a larger volume second heat exchanger 122 can be installed, enhancing the heat exchange effect. In this case, the keel can be directly cut during installation, allowing multiple mounting ports 23 to be interconnected, thereby enabling the installation of the first heat exchange component 110.

[0113] Reference Figure 1 The specific configuration of the connecting component 130 is described below. In some embodiments, the length L of the connecting component 130 satisfies: L≤3000mm. For example, L can be 3000mm, 2950mm, 2700mm, 2500mm, 2000mm, 1500mm, or 1000mm, etc. By adopting the above-mentioned length configuration of the connecting component 130 in this solution, multiple relative installation positions can be provided between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120, thereby meeting various installation requirements in various installation scenarios.

[0114] Reference Figure 4 The specific connection configuration between the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120 is described below. In some embodiments, the first heat exchange assembly 110 has a first connecting portion 114 on one side along the lateral direction. (Refer to...) Figure 4 In terms of orientation, the first heat exchange assembly 110 has a first connecting portion 114 on its left side along the left-right direction. The second heat exchange assembly 120 has a second connecting portion 124 on one side along the right-right direction. (See reference) Figure 4 In terms of orientation, the second heat exchange component 120 has a second connecting part 124 on the right side along the left-right direction. One end of the connecting component 130 can be connected to the first connecting part 114, and the other end can be connected to the second connecting part 124, thereby realizing the connection between the first connecting component 130 and the second connecting component 130.

[0115] Specifically, the distance between the first connecting part 114 and the bottom wall of the first heat exchange component 110 is M1, and the distance between the second connecting part 124 and the bottom wall of the second heat exchange component 120 is M2. M1 satisfies: M1 ≥ 40 mm. For example, M1 can be 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, or 70 mm, etc. M2 satisfies: M2 ≥ 40 mm. For example, M2 can be 40 mm, 44 mm, 47 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm, or 70 mm, etc.

[0116] The first connecting part 114, the second connecting part 124, and the connecting component 130 of this solution meet the above dimensions. That is, when installing the air conditioner 100, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can be installed first, and then the connecting component 130 can be connected to the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 respectively. This can effectively improve the assembly efficiency, avoid the disconnection between the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 and the connecting component 130 during the assembly process, and ensure the reliability of the air conditioner 100 assembly.

[0117] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The specific connection configuration between the first housing 111 and the second housing 121 is described below. In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes a fixing assembly 150, which includes a first fixing member 151 and a second fixing member 152. The first fixing member 151 is used to fix the first housing 111, and the second fixing member 152 is used to fix the second housing 121. Specifically, one end of the first fixing member 151 can be connected to the ceiling 30, and the other end can be connected to the first housing 111. One end of the second fixing member 152 can be connected to the ceiling 30, and the other end can be connected to the second housing 121. Further, both the first fixing member 151 and the second fixing member 152 can be screws, which can be threaded to the ceiling 30. The first fixing member 151 and the second fixing member 152 of this solution can ensure the reliability of the assembly connection between the first heat exchange assembly 110 and the second heat exchange assembly 120.

[0118] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the first housing 111 and the second housing 121 can be partially overlapped with the keel, which can effectively improve the stability of the assembly of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 respectively.

[0119] In some embodiments, the second heat exchange component 120 can use a novel hybrid refrigerant system, which is environmentally friendly and has a small cooling and heating system size. In other embodiments, the second heat exchange component 120 can be combined with different types of first heat exchange components 110 and panel components 140 to form various types of air conditioners 100, offering great compatibility and expansion potential. For example, the second heat exchange component 120 can be combined with existing split-type air conditioner's embedded indoor unit (first heat exchange component 110), ceiling-mounted indoor unit, rectangular panel, embedded panel, etc., providing a wide range of choices, variations, and strong applicability, making it easier to meet users' personalized customization needs. In other embodiments, the second heat exchange component 120 can meet the large cooling capacity requirement of 1.5 horsepower (i.e., rated cooling capacity of 3500W). If the cooling capacity is reduced, the overall size can be further reduced, or a conventional refrigerant can be used.

[0120] Reference Figure 7 The second aspect of this utility model provides an air conditioner installation mechanism 10, which includes the air conditioner 100 described in the above embodiment and a ceiling 20. A connecting component 130 can connect a first heat exchange component 110 and a second heat exchange component 120 respectively. The first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 can be connected to the ceiling 30 respectively.

[0121] Reference Figures 7 to 9 The specific setup of the suspended ceiling 20 is described below. The suspended ceiling 20 is connected to and located below the ceiling 30, which can be the floor slab at the top of the room. It should be noted that the suspended ceiling 20 includes a fixed bracket 21 and multiple hanging panels 22. The fixed bracket 21 defines multiple mounting openings 23, and each hanging panel 22 can be connected to the fixed bracket 21, and each hanging panel 22 can correspondingly cover each mounting opening 23. Furthermore, the fixed bracket 21 can be composed of multiple keel pieces arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0122] The air conditioner installation mechanism 10 of this solution can improve the applicable scenarios of the air conditioner 100 (for example, the air conditioner 100 can be installed in scenarios such as kitchens where there is no reserved installation structure for the air conditioner 100 outdoors). On the other hand, since the installer does not need to set up a safety rope to go outdoors to install the second heat exchange component 120, the installation difficulty of the second heat exchange component 120 is also reduced. Furthermore, in this solution, the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 of the air conditioner 100 can be installed separately. In specific installation, the first heat exchange component 110 can be installed first, and then the second heat exchange component 120 can be installed. The connecting component 130 connects the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120. During this installation process, when the size of the mounting opening 23 of the fixing bracket 21 in the ceiling 20 is small, it is easier to install the air conditioner 100, and the size requirements of the mounting opening 23 are lower. Furthermore, since the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 are suitable for being arranged at intervals, the arrangement position of the second heat exchange component 120 is not limited by the position of the first heat exchange component 110. The second heat exchange component 120 can be arranged according to the position of the exhaust vent connecting the building to the outside. The arrangement of the second heat exchange component 120 is more flexible, which reduces the installation difficulty of the pipe components that are connected to the second heat exchange component 120 and the exhaust vent respectively.

[0123] Reference Figures 8 to 14 The specific installation configuration of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 is described below. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 In terms of orientation, the first heat exchange component 110 can be inserted into the mounting opening 23 from below the fixed bracket 21, and the first heat exchange component 110 is placed within the space between the fixed bracket 21 and the ceiling 30. The second heat exchange component 120 can also be inserted into the mounting opening 23 from below the fixed bracket 21, and the second heat exchange component 120 is placed within the space between the fixed bracket 21 and the ceiling 30. In this solution, the installation of the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 is convenient and quick, and can achieve concealed installation, which can improve the user's appearance. There is no need to reserve a space for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner 100, and there is no need to install an external air conditioner unit.

[0124] Reference Figure 12The following describes the installation process of the first heat exchange component 110, the second heat exchange component 120, and the connecting component 130 relative to the fixed bracket 21. In some embodiments, the fixed bracket 21 defines a first mounting port 23a and a second mounting port 23b. The first heat exchange component 110 can be positioned above the first mounting port 23a, and the second heat exchange component 120 can be positioned above the second mounting port 23b. The connecting component 130 can be positioned between the fixed bracket 21 and the ceiling 30. Therefore, the first heat exchange component 110, the second heat exchange component 120, and the connecting component 130 of this solution can all be installed concealed, improving the user's aesthetics.

[0125] Reference Figure 9 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 The specific relative positions of the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b are described below. (Refer to...) Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b are arranged adjacent to each other laterally, that is, the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b are separated by only a single keel, and the distance between the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b is small. (Refer to...) Figure 13 In some embodiments, the fixed bracket 21 also has a third mounting port 23c, which is located between the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b, meaning the distance between the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b is relatively large. In other embodiments, the fixed bracket 21 also has a third mounting port 23c and a fourth mounting port 23, which can be arranged adjacent to each other, and both the third mounting port 23c and the fourth mounting port 23 are located between the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b. The specific relative positions of the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b can be determined according to the actual situation. In this solution, the first mounting port 23a and the second mounting port 23b have multiple relative positions, meaning the first heat exchange component 110 and the second heat exchange component 120 have multiple installation positions. They can be fixed in a suitable position according to the layout of the user's room ceiling, meaning there are many installation options, which can meet the various installation needs of various installation scenarios and adapt to the user's personalized customization needs.

[0126] Reference Figures 8 to 14The specific installation configuration of the first heat exchange component 110 at the first mounting port 23a is described below. In some embodiments, for ease of description and understanding, the first mounting port 23a is set to form a first projection on the horizontal plane, and the first heat exchange component 110 forms a second projection on the horizontal plane. The second projection is located within the first projection, meaning the projected area of ​​the second projection is smaller than the projected area of ​​the first projection. In other words, the vertical cross-sectional dimension of the first heat exchange component 110 is smaller than the opening size of the first mounting port 23a. That is, the first heat exchange component 110 can be directly installed vertically through the first mounting port 23a, ensuring efficient installation and removal of the first heat exchange component 110.

[0127] The specific installation configuration of the first heat exchange component 110 at the first mounting port 23a is described below. In some embodiments, the first heat exchange component 110 may abut against the upper end of the fixed bracket 21 or be spaced apart from the upper end of the fixed bracket 21. For ease of description and understanding, the first mounting port 23a is set to form a first projection on the horizontal plane, and the first heat exchange component 110 forms a second projection on the horizontal plane. The first projection is located within the second projection, or the second projection partially overlaps with the first projection, meaning the projected area of ​​the second projection is larger than the projected area of ​​the first projection. In other words, the vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the first heat exchange component 110 is larger than the opening size of the first mounting port 23a. That is, the first heat exchanger 112 can be configured with a larger volume, which can enhance the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0128] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the lateral dimension of the first housing 111 is larger than the dimension of the first mounting opening 23a, only a single hanging plate 22 can be removed to expose a single first mounting opening 23a when installing the first heat exchange component 110. Specifically, the first housing 111 is angled laterally so that the higher end of the first housing 111 passes through the first mounting opening 23a first, then the first housing 111 is pushed laterally so that the lower end of the first housing 111 passes through the first mounting opening 23a, allowing the first heat exchange component 110 to be installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20. In other embodiments, when the lateral dimension of the first housing 111 is much larger than the dimension of the first mounting opening 23a, a larger volume first heat exchanger 112 can be installed, enhancing the heat exchange effect. In this case, the keel can be directly cut during installation, allowing multiple first mounting openings 23a to be interconnected, thereby enabling the installation of the first heat exchange component 110.

[0129] Reference Figures 8 to 14The specific installation configuration of the second heat exchange component 120 at the second mounting port 23b is described below. In some embodiments, for ease of description and understanding, the second mounting port 23b is configured to form a third projection on the horizontal plane, and the second heat exchange component 120 is configured to form a fourth projection on the horizontal plane. The fourth projection is located within the third projection, meaning the projected area of ​​the fourth projection is smaller than the projected area of ​​the third projection. In other words, the vertical cross-sectional dimension of the second heat exchange component 120 is smaller than the opening size of the second mounting port 23b. That is, the second heat exchange component 120 can be directly installed vertically through the second mounting port 23b, ensuring efficient installation and removal of the second heat exchange component 120.

[0130] The specific installation configuration of the second heat exchange component 120 at the second mounting port 23b is described below. In some embodiments, the second heat exchange component 120 may abut against the upper end of the fixed bracket 21 or be spaced apart from the upper end of the fixed bracket 21. For ease of description and understanding, the second mounting port 23b is configured to form a third projection on the horizontal plane, and the second heat exchange component 120 is configured to form a fourth projection on the horizontal plane. The fourth projection is located within the third projection, or the third projection and the fourth projection partially overlap, meaning the projected area of ​​the third projection is larger than the projected area of ​​the fourth projection. In other words, the vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the second heat exchange component 120 is larger than the opening size of the second mounting port 23b. That is, the second heat exchanger 122 can be configured with a larger volume, which can enhance the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0131] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the lateral dimension of the second housing 121 is larger than the dimension of the second mounting opening 23b, only a single hanging plate 22 can be removed to expose a single second mounting opening 23b when installing the first heat exchange component 110. Specifically, the second housing 121 is angled laterally, so that the higher end of the second housing 121 passes through the second mounting opening 23b first, then the second housing 121 is pushed laterally, and then the lower end of the second housing 121 passes through the second mounting opening 23b, so that the first heat exchange component 110 is installed between the ceiling 30 and the suspended ceiling 20. In other embodiments, when the lateral dimension of the second housing 121 is much larger than the dimension of the second mounting opening 23b, a larger volume first heat exchanger 112 can be installed, enhancing the heat exchange effect. In this case, the keel can be directly cut during installation, so that multiple second mounting openings 23b can be interconnected, thereby realizing the installation of the second heat exchange component 120.
