TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to heat pump unit technical field, concretely relates to an improvement of heat pump indoor unit structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] For air source heat pump products, most products consider space utilization, especially heat pump indoor units, which need to be laid out with many functional components and indoor water pipe assembly structures.
[0003] The indoor water pipe in the indoor water pipe assembly inside the existing heat pump indoor unit and the functional elements such as circulating pumps or filtering components connected above it adopt conventional nut and threaded connection, and the sealing effect is achieved by tightening the middle gasket through hex nuts and threads.
[0004] The above connection method requires a wrench to tighten the nut during production assembly and after-sales maintenance and disassembly of the pipeline, therefore, a larger nut tightening operation space needs to be reserved between the pipelines, resulting in a larger volume of the entire heat pump indoor unit and a larger occupied space.
[0005] In addition, since the internal space of the heat pump indoor unit is already very small, the reserved operation space is also limited, resulting in a very small left and right rotation angle of the wrench, which cannot normally clamp the nut to tighten the nut, causing many inconveniences for production and maintenance.
[0006] At the same time, this threaded fitting method requires that the external pipeline be completely disassembled before the internal components of the indoor water pipe assembly can be repaired, resulting in increased maintenance costs.
[0007] The surrounding components are mostly pipeline components, and it is difficult for the wrench to operate, and there is also a problem of uncontrolled torque size, which may cause the gasket to be skewed and cause water leakage, resulting in poor sealing effect. INVENTION CONTENTS

In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, a heat pump indoor unit is proposed, referring to Figure 10 As shown, the heat pump indoor unit is connected with the heat pump outdoor unit 920 and the water tank 910 to form a heat pump unit.
[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the heat pump indoor unit comprises a box body 100, which forms an accommodation space inside the box body 100, and the box body 100 constitutes the shell of the entire heat pump indoor unit, for realizing the accommodation of components in the heat pump indoor unit.
[0090] An indoor pipe assembly is arranged inside the box body 100, which comprises an indoor water pipe and functional elements connected to the indoor water pipe.
[0091] A control box is further arranged inside the box body 100, for controlling related electrical devices.
[0092] The heat pump outdoor unit comprises a compressor and a plate heat exchanger, and the water tank 910 is internally provided with a heat exchange coil 911.
[0093] The plate heat exchanger of the heat pump outdoor unit has a refrigerant-side heat exchange pipe and a water-side heat exchange pipe.
[0094] The refrigerant-side heat exchange pipe flows with refrigerant, and the water-side heat exchange pipe flows with water.
[0095] When connected, the water-side heat exchange pipe of the plate heat exchanger of the outdoor unit is connected with the heat exchange coil 911 in the water tank 910 through a connecting pipe assembly 930, wherein part of the connecting pipes in the connecting pipe assembly are arranged inside the box body 100 of the heat pump indoor unit to form an indoor pipe assembly, and the remaining part forms an outdoor connecting pipe.
[0096] The indoor pipe assembly for connecting the plate heat exchanger and the heat exchange coil 911 of the water tank 910 is also correspondingly arranged with functional elements above it. If it is directly arranged outside and connected with the pipe, it is arranged outside. Not only is the pipe connection miscellaneous and chaotic, but also the aesthetic appearance is poor, and the service life of the functional elements will be affected due to long-term exposure to the outside.
[0097] The connecting plate heat exchanger and the part of the connecting pipe of the water tank 910 and the corresponding built-in functional element are arranged inside the box body 100 of the heat pump indoor unit, the integrated arrangement of the functional element and the pipeline is realized, the occupied space of the connecting pipe assembly is reduced, and the problem of poor appearance and easy damage caused by the external pipeline connection of the functional element is avoided.
[0098] When the heat pump unit starts to operate, the water flow circulates between the heat exchange coil 911, the indoor pipe assembly and the plate heat exchanger, and when the water flow flows to the plate heat exchanger side, the water flow can exchange heat with the refrigerant in the refrigerant side heat exchange pipe to change the temperature of the water flow.
[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 10 , the water tank 910 is provided with a domestic water inlet pipe and a domestic water outlet pipe, which are in communication with the internal space of the water tank 910. The water flow after heat exchange with the plate heat exchanger exchanges heat with the water in the water tank 910 when flowing to the heat exchange coil 911, thereby achieving the effect of heating the water in the water tank 910. The user can obtain domestic water of appropriate temperature through the domestic water outlet pipe.
[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, the heat pump indoor unit comprises a sealing and locking assembly, referring to Figures 2-4 , the sealing and locking assembly is arranged at the joint position of the indoor water pipe and the functional element, and is used for connecting and sealing the joint position of the indoor water pipe and the functional element.
[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4 , 9 , the sealing and locking assembly comprises a first joint piece 300 and a second joint piece 400 matched with the first joint piece 300.
[0102] The first joint piece 300 is assembled on the indoor water pipe for integration with the indoor water pipe, and the second joint piece 400 is assembled on the functional element for integration with the functional element.
[0103] When matched, the first joint piece 300 and the second joint piece 400 are inserted and matched, and after the first joint piece 300 and the second joint piece 400 are inserted and fixed, the connection between the functional element and the indoor water pipe is realized.
[0104] The second joint piece 400 and the first joint piece 300 can be quickly installed and fixed between them by means of insertion and matching.
[0105] When inserted, the first joint piece 300 can be inserted inside the second joint piece 400, or the second joint piece 400 can be inserted inside the first joint piece 300, as long as insertion and fixation can be achieved.
[0106] During insertion, the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 can be inserted vertically along the height of the housing 100, or horizontally along the width of the housing 100.
[0107] A sealing component 500 is provided at the mating point of the first connector 300 and the second connector 400. The sealing component 500 can be used to seal the mating position of the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 to achieve a sealed connection between the two and avoid water leakage.
[0108] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 , 9 As shown, the sealing and locking assembly includes a locking component 600, which is engaged with the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 to keep the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 locked.
[0109] The heat pump indoor unit in the above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0110] By using a plug-in connection to connect the functional components and indoor water pipes, installation or disassembly can be achieved by simply moving the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 a short distance relative to each other during production, maintenance, or installation. This eliminates the need to reserve a large operating space for the installation or disassembly of the indoor water pipes. Compared with the nut connection method, which requires a rotation operating space, this reduces the reserved space. No large space needs to be reserved between adjacent indoor pipes, allowing for a more compact layout between indoor pipe assemblies. The entire indoor pipe assembly occupies less space, which in turn reduces the volume of the housing 100 used to house the indoor pipe assembly. This achieves a miniaturized design for the heat pump indoor unit and reduces the overall size of the heat pump indoor unit.
[0111] Furthermore, during installation, simply insert the first connector 300 and the second connector 400, and then lock the clamping component 600 into the joint position of the first and second connectors to achieve fixation. During disassembly, apply manual force to the clamping component 600 to separate it from the first connector 300 and the second connector 400, and then move the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 relative to each other to separate them. Both installation and disassembly can be performed without special tools, making it convenient and easy to operate.
[0112] Meanwhile, after the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 are inserted and fixed, the sealing component 500 located at the mating position of the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 can achieve a good sealing effect at the mating position of the two, and the sealing component 500 will not have the problem of poor sealing effect due to improper twisting operation.
[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4 、 9 a first cavity and a first insertion portion for inserting the indoor water pipe are formed inside the joint body portion 310, and the first insertion portion 320 is in communication with the first cavity.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4 、 9 the first joint piece 300 includes a first stop portion 330 formed at the end of the first insertion portion 320, which is used for stopping and limiting the indoor water pipe.
[0117] The first stop portion is a first limiting platform formed at the end of the second insertion cavity, which is used for limiting the insertion position of the indoor water pipe, so that the indoor water pipe can be quickly inserted into place.
[0118] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4 、 9 the first joint piece 300 includes a joint body portion 310, the second joint piece 400 is formed with a second insertion portion 410 for inserting the joint body portion 310, and a second stop portion 420 is formed at the end of the second insertion portion 410 for stopping and limiting the joint body portion 310.
[0119] The second insertion portion 410 is a second insertion cavity formed in the second joint piece 400, and when connected, the joint body portion 310 is inserted into the second insertion cavity to realize the insertion connection of the first joint piece 300 and the second joint piece 400.
[0120] The second stop portion 420 is a second limiting platform formed at the end of the second insertion cavity, which is used for limiting the insertion position of the joint body portion 310, so that the first joint piece 300 and the second joint piece 400 can be quickly inserted into place.
[0121] The air conditioner in the above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0122] The second insertion portion 410 on the second joint piece 400 can realize the insertion cooperation with the first joint piece 300, and the second stop portion 420 thereon limits the first joint piece 300, which can ensure that the first joint piece 300 is quickly inserted into place.
[0123] In some embodiments of the present application, a second cavity is formed inside the second joint piece 400, the second cavity extending from one end of the second joint piece 400 to the second insertion portion 410, and the second cavity and the second insertion portion 410 being in communication.
[0124] In some embodiments of the present application, a connecting portion 430 is arranged on the second joint piece 400, the outer diameter of the connecting portion 430 gradually increasing in a direction away from the first insertion portion 320, an insertion opening is arranged on the functional element, and the second joint piece 400 is clamped into the insertion opening through the connecting section to achieve connection with the functional element.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 , 9 a first limiting portion 340 is formed on the outside of the joint body portion 310, and a second limiting portion 440 is formed on one end of the second insertion portion 410 of the second joint piece 400.
[0126] The first limiting portion 340 is a first limiting protrusion formed on the joint body portion 310 close to the first insertion portion 320, and the first limiting protrusion is arranged along the circumference of the joint body portion 310.

[0128] The second limiting portion 440 is a second limiting protrusion formed on the end of the second joint piece 400, and the second limiting protrusion is arranged along the circumference of the second joint piece 400.
[0129] The second limiting protrusion can be a second annular limiting protrusion, or a second limiting block, and the second limiting block can be arranged in one or more, and arranged at a certain interval along the circumference of the second joint piece 400.
[0130] When the first joint piece 300 and the second joint piece 400 are inserted in place, the second limiting portion 440 abuts against the first limiting portion 340.

[0161] The water receiving component 700 is a water receiving tray, which forms a water receiving cavity inside, and is made of sheet metal and locked and fixed on the inner wall of the box body 100.
[0162] When the indoor water pipe has water flow circulating therein, because there is a temperature difference between the water temperature inside the indoor water pipe and the water temperature outside, condensed water may be formed on the indoor water pipe. The water receiving component 700 arranged at the bottom of the box body 100 can receive the condensed water on the indoor water pipe, so as to avoid the condensed water from dropping into the user's home.
[0163] In some embodiments of the present application, the indoor water pipe has a joint section arranged at the bottom position of the box body 100 for facilitating connection with the external pipeline.

[0170] The outer diameter of the necked portion 821 formed above the buffer positioning member 820 is smaller than the outer diameter of the cylindrical body, so that when the buffer positioning member 820 is clamped in the bayonet portion 811, the upper segment and the lower segment of the cylindrical body are respectively limited in position at the top and bottom positions of the fixed component 810.
[0171] By wrapping the buffer positioning member 820 on the joint segment, instead of clamping and matching the indoor water pipe with the bayonet portion 811, the problem that the indoor water pipe is directly matched with the bayonet portion 811 and is damaged is avoided.
[0172] The buffer positioning member 820 is clamped and matched with the bayonet portion 811, so that the positioning and fixing of the indoor water pipe are realized.
[0173] The buffer positioning member 820 is clamped in the bayonet portion 811 through the necked portion 821. When the condensed water slides along the indoor water pipe, the condensed water will flow to the fixed component 810 along the part of the buffer positioning member 820 above the bayonet portion 811, so that the condensed water is guided.
[0174] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixed component 810 comprises a first fixed component and a second fixed component, and the first fixed component and the second fixed component are matched and connected.
[0175] The bayonet portion 811 comprises a first bayonet formed on the first fixed component and a second bayonet formed on the second fixed component, and the first bayonet and the second bayonet are matched and connected to form the bayonet portion 811.
[0176] By setting the fixed component 810 in the form of the first fixed component and the second fixed component matched and connected, the first fixed component and the second fixed component can be clamped on the buffer positioning member from both sides during assembly, so that the installation and fixing of the buffer positioning member 820 are facilitated.
[0177] In some embodiments of the present application, the indoor pipe assembly comprises a plurality of joint segments, and the plurality of joint segments are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the fixed component 810.

Correspondingly, a plurality of bayonet portions 811 are arranged on the fixed component 810, and the plurality of joint segments are clamped in the plurality of bayonet portions 811 through the plurality of buffer positioning members 820, so that the plurality of joint segments are fixed.
[0178] In some embodiments of the present application, two joint segments are arranged on the first indoor water pipe 210, and two joint segments are arranged on the second indoor water pipe 220. The two joint segments of the first indoor water pipe 210 can be respectively clamped in the two clamping portions 811 at the two ends of the fixed portion 810, and the two joint segments of the second indoor water pipe 220 are clamped in the two clamping portions 811 at the middle position.
