[0034] The compressor plays a crucial role in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit, compressing and driving the refrigerant, and it generates noise during operation. Currently, to reduce compressor noise, a compressor cover is typically installed on the outside of the compressor. Most commonly used compressor covers are one-piece structures, which can be cumbersome to disassemble and reassemble in some situations, such as during compressor maintenance.

[0035] This utility model proposes an air conditioner.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner includes a housing assembly 100, a compressor cover 200, and a compressor 300 disposed within the compressor cover 200. The housing assembly 100 includes a first housing portion 110 and a second housing portion 120 that are separately connected. The compressor cover 200 includes at least two cover portions that are separately connected. At least one cover portion is fixed to the second housing portion 120, and when the second housing portion 120 is connected to the first housing portion 110, the cover portion fixed to the second housing portion 120 can move with the second housing portion 120 and connect to the other cover portion.

[0037] It is understandable that the compressor 300 will generate vibration and noise during operation. The compressor cover 200 is placed outside the compressor 300. The compressor cover 200 can reduce the outward transmission of the compressor system noise and reflect the noise as much as possible inside the compressor cover 200. The compressor cover 200 is made of dense and thick materials to increase the sound insulation and noise reduction of low and medium frequencies, so as to block and seal the noise in the internal space for repeated absorption, thus isolating it from the surrounding air.

[0038] Understandably, the compressor cover 200 is disposed on at least two separately connected cover sections, which, when connected, can enclose a receiving cavity in which the compressor 300 is located. Thus, compared to the prior art where the compressor cover 200 is a single, integral structure, this invention uses a separate structure for the compressor cover 200, thereby improving the efficiency of air conditioner assembly and disassembly; allowing for the removal of parts of the cover at any time to observe the operation of the components inside the compressor cover 200, facilitating inspection and maintenance; furthermore, the separate cover sections can be spliced ​​together to install components such as the compressor 300 inside the compressor cover 200, thus contributing to the miniaturization, lightweighting, and cost reduction of the compressor cover 200.

[0039] At least one cover is fixed to the second shell portion 120. When the second shell portion 120 is connected to the first shell portion 110, the cover fixed to the second shell portion 120 can move with the second shell portion 120 and connect to the other cover. In one embodiment, one of the at least two covers is fixedly mounted on the second shell portion 120, and the other cover is fixedly mounted on the first shell portion 110. Thus, when the second shell portion 120 is connected to the first shell portion 110, the two covers also connect to enclose a receiving cavity. In another embodiment, one of the at least two covers is fixedly mounted on the second shell, and the other cover is fixedly mounted on a structure other than the shell assembly 100, such as a bracket. This also ensures that when the second shell portion 120 is connected to the first shell portion 110, the two covers also connect to enclose a receiving cavity.

[0040] In this way, at least one cover is fixed to the second shell 120. When the shell assembly 100 is assembled and the second shell 120 is connected to the first shell 110, the cover fixed to the second shell 120 moves and connects with the other cover, thereby enclosing a receiving cavity for housing the compressor 300 by at least two covers. Thus, by fixing at least one cover to the second shell 120, at least two covers are assembled at the same time as the shell assembly 100 is assembled, forming a relatively regular and relatively closed soundproof receiving cavity. This eliminates the need for additional assembly of the compressor cover 200, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and disassembly efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first shell portion 110 is configured as a chassis 111, and the second shell portion 120 includes a duct shell 121 connected to the chassis 111; at least two cover portions include a first side cover portion 210 fixed to the duct shell 121, and when the duct shell 121 is fixed to the chassis 111, the first side cover portion 210 is fixed relative to the chassis 111.

[0042] Understandably, in one embodiment, the first housing portion 110 is defined as the chassis 111, and the second housing portion 120 includes an air duct housing 121, which is separately connected to the chassis 111. One of the at least two housing portions is configured as a first side housing portion 210, which is fixedly mounted on the air duct housing 121. The other housing portion of the at least two housing portions may be fixed to the chassis 111 or to other structures, without limitation. In one embodiment, when the other housing portion is fixed to the chassis 111, it may be configured as a buffer pad between the compressor 300 and the chassis 111. Understandably, the buffer pad is made of an elastic element and is used for mounting the compressor 300. Thus, the provision of an elastic element helps to reduce the transmission of vibration of the compressor 300 to the outside. In one embodiment, the buffer pad is configured as rubber. However, this design is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the buffer pad may also be made of silicone or the like. Meanwhile, the buffer pad between the chassis 111 and the compressor 300 helps to prevent the generation of collision vibration noise between the compressor cover 200 and the chassis 111.

[0043] Thus, when the duct housing 121 is installed onto the chassis 111, the first side cover 210 moves along with the duct housing 121, simultaneously connecting with the other cover. At this time, the duct housing 121 is fixed relative to the chassis 111, and correspondingly, the first side cover 210 on the duct housing 121 is also fixed relative to the chassis 111. This ensures that the first side cover 210 is simultaneously fixed during the installation of the duct housing 121 onto the chassis 111.

[0044] However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the second housing 120 may also include a return air plate between the air duct housing 121 and the compressor 300, and the first side cover 210 is installed on the side of the return air plate facing the compressor 300.

[0045] In an embodiment of this utility model, the air duct shell 121 is provided with a wire clip 1211, and the first side cover 210 is provided with a clearance groove 211, and the wire clip 1211 contacts the groove wall of the clearance groove 211.

[0046] Understandably, air conditioners have internal wiring harnesses for electrical connections and signal transmission. The duct housing 121 has wire clips 1211 for organizing the wiring harness, making its routing more efficient. In one embodiment, the wire clips 1211 are located on the side of the duct housing 121 near the first side cover 210. Correspondingly, the first side cover 210 has a clearance groove 211 to provide clearance for the wire clips 1211; simultaneously, the clearance groove 211 also provides positioning for the installation of the first side cover 210. In one embodiment, the wire clips 1211 contact the groove wall of the clearance groove 211, allowing the wire clips 1211 to bear part of the weight of the first side cover 210 in the vertical direction, thus providing support for the first side cover 210.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the housing assembly 100 further includes a third housing portion 130 that is separately connected to the second housing portion 120. At least one cover portion is fixed to the third housing portion 130, and when the third housing portion 130 is connected to the second housing portion 120, the cover portion fixed to the third housing portion 130 can follow the movement of the third housing portion 130 and connect to another cover portion.

[0048] Understandably, in one embodiment, the housing assembly 100 further includes a third housing portion 130, which is separately connected to the second housing portion 120. A cover portion is also fixedly mounted on the third housing portion 130. Simultaneously, a cover portion is also fixedly mounted on the second housing portion 120. Thus, in one embodiment, when the third housing portion 130 is connected to the second housing portion 120, the cover portion on the third housing portion 130 is simultaneously connected to the cover portion on the second housing portion 120. In another embodiment, when the third housing portion 130 is connected to the second housing portion 120, the cover portion on the third housing portion 130 can be connected to a cover portion fixed to another structure. Thus, through the connection of the third housing portion 130 and the second housing portion 120, the connection of the two cover portions is simultaneously achieved, thereby saving the time required for additional connection between the cover portions.

[0049] In an embodiment of this utility model, the third housing portion 130 is configured as an electrical control box 131, which is connected to the upper end of the air duct housing 121; at least two covers also include a top cover portion 220 fixed to the bottom of the electrical control box 131, and when the electrical control box 131 is fixed to the air duct housing 121, the top cover portion 220 is connected to the first side cover portion 210.

[0050] Understandably, in the solution shown in the figures of this utility model, the third housing portion 130 is configured as an electrical control box 131, and a top cover portion 220 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the electrical control box 131. Thus, when the electrical control box 131 is connected and fixed to the air duct housing 121, the top cover portion 220 is connected to the first side cover portion 210. Through the connection between the electrical control box 131 and the air duct housing 121, the connection between the top cover portion 220 and the first side cover portion 210 is simultaneously realized, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0051] However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the third housing 130 may also be other structural components located above the compressor 300, which is not limited here.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second shell portion 120 includes a front panel 122 and a rear panel 123 respectively connected to the chassis 111; at least two cover portions also include a second side cover portion 230 fixed to the inside of the front panel 122 and a third side cover portion 240 fixed to the inside of the rear panel 123. When the front panel 122 is fixed to the chassis 111, the second side cover portion 230 is connected to the first side cover portion 210 and the top cover portion 220. When the rear panel 123 is fixed to the chassis 111, the third side cover portion 240 is connected to the first side cover portion 210 and the top cover portion 220.

[0053] Understandably, the second housing 120 also includes a front panel 122 and a rear panel 123. In the air conditioner, the front panel 122 and the rear panel 123 form the outer casing of the air conditioner, and are respectively connected to the chassis 111. A second side cover 230 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the front panel 122, and a third side cover 240 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rear panel 123. Thus, when the front panel 122 is connected to the chassis 111, the second side cover 230 on the front panel 122 is connected to the first side cover 210 on the duct housing 121, and at the same time, the second side cover 230 on the front panel 122 is also connected to the top cover 220 on the electrical control box 131, thereby realizing the connection between the first side cover 210, the second side cover 230, and the top cover 220. When the rear panel 123 is connected to the chassis 111, the third side cover 240 on the rear panel 123 is connected to the first side cover 210 on the air duct housing 121. At the same time, the third side cover 240 on the rear panel 123 is also connected to the top cover 220 on the electrical control box 131, thereby realizing the connection between the first side cover 210, the third side cover 240 and the top cover 220.

[0054] In an embodiment of this utility model, the front panel 122 includes a first plate body 1221 and a first bent portion 1222 connected by bending; the rear panel 123 includes a second plate body 1231 and a second bent portion 1232 connected by bending; the first bent portion 1222 and the second bent portion 1232 are spliced ​​together; the second side cover 230 includes a first main cover plate 231 corresponding to the first plate body 1221 and a first bent cover plate 232 corresponding to the first bent portion 1222; the third side cover 240 includes a second main cover plate 241 corresponding to the second plate body 1231 and a second bent cover plate 242 corresponding to the second bent portion 1232; the first bent cover plate 232 and the second bent cover plate 242 are spliced ​​together and are opposite to the first side cover 210.

[0055] Understandably, both the front panel 122 and the rear panel 123 are bent. The front panel 122 includes a first plate body 1221 and a first bent portion 1222 connected by bending. A first main cover plate 231 is fixed to the inner side of the first plate body 1221, and a first bent cover plate 232 is fixed to the inner side of the first bent portion 1222. Similarly, the rear panel 123 includes a second plate body 1231 and a second bent portion 1232 connected by bending. A second main cover plate 241 is fixed to the inner side of the second plate body 1231, and a second bent cover plate 242 is fixed to the inner side of the second bent portion 1232. Thus, after the front panel 122 and the rear panel 123 are both mounted on the chassis 111, the first plate body 1221 and the second plate body 1231 are arranged opposite each other, and the first bent portion 1222 and the second bent portion 1232 are connected. Correspondingly, the first main cover plate 231 on the inner side of the front panel 122 and the second main cover plate 241 on the inner side of the rear panel 123 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first bent cover plate 232 on the inner side of the front panel 122 and the second bent cover plate 242 on the inner side of the rear panel 123 are connected. Among them, the first main cover plate 231 and the second main cover plate 241 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first bent cover plate 232 and the second bent cover plate 242 are arranged opposite to the first side cover 210 after being spliced ​​together.

[0056] Thus, by bending the front panel 122 and the rear panel 123, the second side cover 230 and the third side cover 240 are also bent, so that the compressor cover 200 can be arranged in three directions using only the second side cover 230 and the third side cover 240, thereby improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the compressor cover 200.

[0057] Thus, in the air conditioner, the housing assembly 100 includes a chassis 111, a duct housing 121, an electrical control box 131, a front panel 122, and a rear panel 123. The compressor cover 200 includes a first side cover 210, a second side cover 230, a third side cover 240, and a top cover 220. The first side cover 210 is fixedly installed on the duct housing 121, the second side cover 230 is fixedly installed on the front panel 122, the third side cover 240 is fixedly installed on the rear panel 123, and the top cover 220 is fixedly installed on the electrical control box 131. When assembling the housing assembly 100, the duct housing 121 is first installed onto the chassis 111, then the electrical control box 131 is installed onto the duct housing 121, and finally the front panel 122 and rear panel 123 are installed onto the chassis 111. Thus, with the assembly of the housing assembly 100, the first side cover 210, the top cover 220, the second side cover 230, and the third side cover 240 are also connected, thereby enclosing a receiving cavity for housing the compressor 300. This eliminates the need for additional assembly operations on the compressor cover 200, thereby improving the efficiency of air conditioner assembly and disassembly.

[0058] In embodiments of this utility model, the cover portion and the second shell portion 120 are fixed by a screw fastening structure or an adhesive structure.

[0059] Understandably, in one embodiment, both the cover and the second shell 120 are provided with screw holes, or one of them is provided with a screw hole and the other with a screw post, and the connecting screw passes through the screw hole or screw post to connect the cover and the second shell together. In another embodiment, the cover and the second shell 120 are bonded together with adhesive, double-sided tape, or 3M adhesive. Here, the connection method between the cover and the second shell 120 is not limited.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the cover includes a cover body and a sound insulation layer stacked on top of each other, the cover body being fixed to the housing assembly 100; or, the cover includes a sound insulation layer fixed to the housing assembly 100.

[0061] Understandably, in one embodiment, the cover includes a cover body and a sound insulation layer stacked together, with the sound insulation layer located inside the cover body. The cover body is generally made of metal; specifically, the material of the cover body can be a damping steel plate, a vibration-damping composite steel plate, a hot-dip galvanized steel plate, an aluminum plate, a stainless steel plate, etc., or an integral structure in which damping materials (such as anti-vibration adhesive, asphalt, rubber, etc.) are coated onto a sheet metal structure.

[0062] The sound insulation layer is used to encase the compressor 300. It can be fixed to the enclosure body using various methods such as adhesive, double-sided tape, 3M adhesive, rivet nuts, fastening straps, and screws. The sound insulation layer is made of a soft, porous, highly sound-absorbing material. When sound waves enter the pores, they cause fiber vibration, converting sound energy into heat energy through adhesion and friction, thus being absorbed and dissipated. More specifically, the sound insulation layer can be at least one or more of the following composite materials: PP / PET two-component sound insulation cotton, glass fiber cotton, non-woven fiber cotton, needle-punched felt cotton, polyester fiber cotton, rock wool, slag wool, rubber / PVC, fiber cotton / needle-punched felt, etc. (i.e., sound-absorbing cotton material coated on rubber or PVC).

[0063] PP refers to polypropylene, and PET refers to polyethylene terephthalate. PP / PET bicomponent sound insulation cotton is a composite material, usually made of a blend of PP and PET fibers. It combines the properties of PP and PET, possessing good elasticity and durability, and is used for sound absorption and insulation. PVC refers to polyvinyl chloride, a polymer formed by the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) under the action of initiators such as peroxides and azo compounds, or under the influence of light and heat, according to a free radical polymerization mechanism.

[0064] In one embodiment, the cover includes a sound-insulating layer fixed to the housing assembly 100. That is, in this embodiment, the cover does not have a cover body and is made of a non-metallic material. It is understood that in this invention, the compressor cover 200 is fixedly mounted on the housing assembly 100. In this case, the housing assembly 100 can provide support for the compressor cover 200, while also preventing an excessively thick compressor cover 200 from being difficult to install onto the housing assembly 100 and from affecting the internal layout space of the housing.

[0065] The sound insulation layer can be configured as a composite material of sound insulation foam, sound insulation cotton, sound insulation pads, sound insulation cotton and rubber, or a composite material of sound insulation cotton and PVC. More specifically, considering that some covers are only partially fixed to the housing assembly 100, such as the top cover 220 being only partially fixed to the electrical control box 131, the sound insulation layer can use a material structure with high hardness and resistance to deformation, such as rubber sound insulation pads, mineral wool, mineral wool board, polyurethane foam, polyurethane phenolic foam, polyester fiber board, glass wool board, polystyrene board, etc., and the sound insulation layer is pre-formed during processing, with the formed shape matching the shape of the housing assembly 100. Of course, the sound insulation layer can also be composed of soft materials, such as pure sound-absorbing cotton: PP / PET two-component sound insulation cotton, glass fiber cotton, non-woven fiber cotton, needle-punched felt cotton, polyester fiber cotton, rock wool, slag wool, etc. Alternatively, the sound insulation layer can also be a composite material of soft sound-absorbing cotton and rubber / PVC, that is, the sound-absorbing cotton material is coated on rubber or PVC. No restrictions are placed on the material of the sound insulation layer.

[0066] In one embodiment, the air conditioner further includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and a flexible connection assembly. The flexible connection assembly connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. This air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner that facilitates individual installation by the user. It uses flexible refrigerant pipes to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. Thus, when the user installs the equipment themselves, they only need to fix the indoor and outdoor units separately, without needing to assemble refrigerant pipes or add refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and enabling individual installation.

[0067] In one embodiment, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is mounted on the mounting medium via a mounting bracket, and the compressor 300 of the air conditioner is located in the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
