It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated

[0026] As shown in the drawings, in one aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a sensor mounting seat 1 for mounting a liquid level sensor 2 provided with a rotating connecting shaft 21, so that the liquid level sensor 2 can be stably adjusted in rotation, and the structural safety of the liquid level sensor 2 during rotation is ensured. Figs. 1 to 3

[0027] The sensor mounting seat 1 is provided with a rotating shaft clamping portion 11 and an assembly through hole 12, and the assembly through hole 12 and the rotating shaft clamping portion 11 are arranged adjacent to each other. The rotating shaft clamping portion 11 is used for rotating connection with the rotating connecting shaft 21 of the liquid level sensor 2, so that the liquid level sensor 2 can be rotatably mounted on the sensor mounting seat 1. When the rotating connecting shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft clamping portion 11, the liquid level sensor 2 can be rotatably arranged in the assembly through hole 12 around the axis of the rotating shaft clamping portion 11.

[0028] In this way, when the liquid level sensor 2 is adjusted in rotation, the hole wall of the assembly through hole 12 can constrain and limit the rotation stroke of the liquid level sensor 2, so as to avoid excessive rotation of the liquid level sensor 2 and violent shaking, and further avoid structural damage of the liquid level sensor 2 due to violent shaking, so as to ensure the structural safety of the liquid level sensor 2 during rotation. When the sensor mounting seat 1 is applied to an air duct machine, the air duct machine can be switched between horizontal installation and vertical installation.

[0029] ​In some embodiments, the sensor mounting base 1 can include a first mounting plate 13 and a second mounting plate 14 connected to each other, the first mounting plate 13 and the second mounting plate 14 being perpendicular or inclined. The rotating shaft clamping portion 11 is arranged at the connecting portion of the first mounting plate 13 and the second mounting plate 14, so that the rotating connecting shaft 21 can be rotatably connected at the connecting portion of the first mounting plate 13 and the second mounting plate 14. The assembly through hole 12 extends from the first mounting plate 13 to the second mounting plate 14, that is, a part of the assembly through hole 12 is arranged on the first mounting plate 13, and another part of the assembly through hole 12 is arranged on the second mounting plate 14. In this way, the liquid level sensor 2 can rotate between the area of the first mounting plate 13 and the area of the second mounting plate 14 in the assembly through hole 12. When the sensor mounting base 1 is applied to the ducted air conditioner, if the ducted air conditioner is installed horizontally, the liquid level sensor 2 can be kept in the area of the first mounting plate 13 in the assembly through hole 12, meeting the liquid level detection needs of the ducted air conditioner in the horizontal installation posture; if the ducted air conditioner is installed vertically, the liquid level sensor 2 can be kept in the area of the second mounting plate 14 in the assembly through hole 12, meeting the liquid level detection needs of the ducted air conditioner in the vertical installation posture.

[0030] In some embodiments, the sensor mounting base 1 can further be provided with a first wire clamping portion 15. The first wire clamping portion 15 and the rotating shaft clamping portion 11 are arranged on the same side surface of the sensor mounting base 1, and the first wire clamping portion 15 is located on the side of the rotating shaft clamping portion 11 away from the assembly through hole 12. When the liquid level sensor 2 is provided with a signal line 22, the first wire clamping portion 15 can be used to clamp and fix the signal line 22, so that the signal line 22 can be better routed on the liquid level sensor 2.

[0031] In some examples, the sensor mounting base 1 can further be provided with a second wire clamping portion 16, and the second wire clamping portion 16 can also be used to clamp and fix the signal line 22. The first wire clamping portion 15 and the second wire clamping portion 16 can be sequentially and spaced apart along the rotation direction of the liquid level sensor 2, and the second wire clamping portion 16 is located at the edge of the sensor mounting base 1 along the rotation direction of the liquid level sensor 2. In this way, the signal line 22 can be routed through the first wire clamping portion 15 and then extended out of the sensor mounting base 1 from the second wire clamping portion 16, so that the signal line 22 can be better routed on the liquid level sensor 2 and extended outward.

[0032] For example, the second wire clamping portion 16 can be protrudingly formed on the side surface of the sensor mounting base 1 away from the rotating shaft clamping portion 11, and the second wire clamping portion 16 is provided with a wire passing port 161. In this way, the signal line 22 can be extended from the first wire clamping portion 15 to the second wire clamping portion 16, and then passed out from the side surface of the sensor mounting base 1 provided with the rotating shaft clamping portion 11 to the other side surface of the sensor mounting base 1, and then extended out of the sensor mounting base 1 from the wire passing port 161, so that the signal line 22 can be better routed on the liquid level sensor 2 and extended outward.

[0033] Exemplarily, the second wire clamping portion 16 can include an abutting fold 162. The abutting fold 162 is located on the sensor mounting seat 1 at an end edge along the axial direction of the rotating shaft clamping portion 11, and the wire passing hole 161 is formed at an end of the second wire clamping portion 16 away from the abutting fold 162. Here, when the sensor mounting seat 1 and the fixing plate are fixedly connected, the abutting fold 162 can abut and support the fixing plate. At the same time, since the wire passing hole 161 and the abutting fold 162 are located at opposite ends of the second wire clamping portion 16, the signal line 22 can be led out of the sensor mounting seat 1 in a direction away from the abutting fold 162, and the abutting fold 162 can be used to block and protect the signal line 22 arranged on the second wire clamping portion 16, so as to avoid the signal line 22 from being scratched and damaged when the sensor mounting seat 1 and the fixing plate abut and are installed.

[0034] In some embodiments, the sensor mounting seat 1 can be provided with a plurality of rotating shaft clamping portions 11, and the plurality of rotating shaft clamping portions 11 can be arranged on opposite sides of the assembly through hole 12. In this way, the plurality of rotating shaft clamping portions 11 can be rotationally connected to the liquid level sensor 2 on opposite sides of the assembly through hole 12, and can stably and balancedly support the liquid level sensor 2, thereby improving the reliability of the rotational connection between the liquid level sensor 2 and the sensor mounting seat 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, the sensor mounting seat 1 can also be provided with a fixed connection portion 17. The fixed connection portion 17 is located on the sensor mounting seat 1 at an end along the axial direction of the rotating shaft clamping portion 11, and is used to fixedly connect with the fixing plate. The type of the fixed connection portion 17 can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, a threaded hole, a pin hole, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0036] In some examples, the sensor mounting seat 1 can also be provided with a plurality of fixed connection portions 17, and the plurality of fixed connection portions 17 can be arranged in sequence and at intervals along the rotating direction of the liquid level sensor 2. In this way, the plurality of fixed connection portions 17 are all located on the sensor mounting seat 1 at an end along the axial direction of the rotating shaft clamping portion 11; and the sensor mounting seat 1 can be connected to the fixing plate in multiple points through the plurality of fixed connection portions 17, so that the sensor mounting seat 1 can be reliably mounted on the fixing plate.

[0037] On the other hand, the embodiments of the present application provide a ducted air conditioner, which includes the sensor mounting seat 1 provided by any of the above embodiments. The ducted air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present application has the above-mentioned sensor mounting seat 1, which can stably adjust the rotation of the liquid level sensor 2 and ensure the structural safety of the liquid level sensor 2 during rotation.

[0038] The sensor mounting seat and the ducted air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application are described in detail above, and the principle and implementation mode of the present application are described by applying specific examples. The above embodiment description is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed, and the above description should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
