[0035] An electric heater is typically installed between the indoor heat exchanger and the indoor fan of an air conditioner. The installation angle of this electric heater has a significant impact on the air conditioner's heating efficiency, condensation phenomenon, noise level, airflow distribution, and airflow field. In condensation tests, water easily accumulates on the surface of the electric heater. This water may be blown to the outside of the air conditioner by the airflow, affecting the user experience.

[0036] In related technologies, electric heaters are fixedly installed inside the casing of the indoor unit of an air conditioner using screws. However, the fixed installation method of electric heaters in these technologies makes it difficult to adjust their angle during experiments, limiting researchers' ability to conduct in-depth studies on the relationship between the electric heater angle and parameters such as condensation, airflow, and noise.

[0037] This application provides a heating component and an air conditioner, allowing researchers to flexibly adjust the installation angle of the heating component as needed during testing.

[0038] In one aspect, this application provides a heating assembly.

[0039] The heating assembly provided in this application is suitable for installation on a target device, which includes a first support plate 14 and a second support plate 15.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating assembly provided in this application includes a heating element 100, a first connecting bracket 200, a second connecting bracket 300, and a rotating assembly 400.

[0041] The heating element 100 has a polygonal cross-section along its radial direction. Here, the heating element 100 is not cylindrical, so that by rotating the heating element 100, the installation angle of the heating element 100 can be changed, thereby changing its influence on parameters such as airflow, condensation and noise. If the heating element 100 were cylindrical, then rotating the heating element 100 would not change the installation angle of the heating element 100.

[0042] The first connecting bracket 200 and the second connecting bracket 300 are disposed at both ends of the heating element 100 along the axial direction. The first connecting bracket 200 is used to rotatably connect with the first support plate 14.

[0043] The rotating assembly 400 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 15 and is connected to the second connecting bracket 300. The rotating assembly 400 can drive the heating element 100 to rotate around its axis.

[0044] With the above technical solution adopted, the heating element 100 of the heating assembly provided in this application is rotatably connected to the first support plate 14 via the first connecting bracket 200. Simultaneously, the rotating component 400 is rotatably mounted on the second support plate 15. The second connecting bracket 300, through its connection with the rotating component 400, further achieves a rotatable connection with the second support plate 15. This design allows the heating assembly to be flexibly and rotatably mounted inside the target device. Furthermore, the radial cross-section of the heating element 100 is polygonal, allowing researchers to flexibly adjust the installation angle of the heating element 100 as needed during testing. This facilitates in-depth research into the relationship between the installation angle of the heating element 100 and parameters such as condensation, airflow, and noise, contributing to optimized air conditioning performance and improved experimental accuracy.

[0045] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the second support plate 15 is provided with a second connecting hole 10, and the connection end of the second connecting bracket 300 and the rotating component 400 is provided with a first fixing hole 301. The rotating component 400 includes a main body 401 and a fastener 403. The main body 401 is adapted to be rotatably embedded in the second connecting hole 10, and the main body 401 is provided with a second fixing hole 402. The fastener 403 can pass through the second fixing hole 402 and the first fixing hole 301 in sequence to fix the main body 401 and the second connecting bracket 300.

[0046] By rotatably embedding the main body 401 of the rotating assembly 400 into the second connecting hole 10 of the second support plate 15, the heating assembly can rotate around its axis. This design allows researchers to flexibly adjust the installation angle of the electric heater, thereby studying the effects of different installation angles on parameters such as condensation, airflow, and noise. The main body 401 of the rotating assembly 400 is fixedly connected to the second connecting bracket 300 by fasteners 403, which pass through the second fixing hole 402 and the first fixing hole 301 in sequence, ensuring a stable connection between the main body 401 and the second connecting bracket 300.

[0047] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 2As shown, the main body 401 of the rotating assembly 400 includes a circumferential surface 4011 for contacting the second connecting hole 10, and the circumferential surface 4011 is provided with a plurality of ball bearing holes 4012. A circumferential groove 11 is provided on the wall of the second connecting hole 10 of the second support plate 15. The rotating assembly 400 also includes a plurality of balls 404, each correspondingly disposed in one of the ball bearing holes 4012. When the rotating assembly 400 is assembled to the second support plate 15, the balls 404 contact the bottom of the circumferential groove 11. It can be understood that a portion of the ball bearing 404 is embedded in the ball bearing hole 4012, and another portion is exposed outside the ball bearing hole 4012, with the exposed portion contacting the bottom of the circumferential groove 11.

[0048] By providing multiple ball bearing holes 4012 on the circumferential surface 4011 of the main body 401 and installing balls 404 in the ball bearing holes 4012, the balls 404 contact the bottom of the circumferential groove 11 of the second connecting hole 10, forming a rolling friction structure. This design significantly reduces the frictional resistance between the rotating component 400 and the second connecting hole 10 during rotation, making the rotation of the heating component smoother and more efficient, which is beneficial to improving the convenience and accuracy of experimental operations. In addition, the balls 404 are located in the circumferential groove 11 and contact the bottom of the circumferential groove 11, which ensures the stability of the rotating component 400 during rotation, preventing the main body 401 from shifting, shaking, or slipping during rotation. This allows the experimenter to more accurately control the angle of the electric heater, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of experimental data.

[0049] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, an operating handle 4013 is provided on the side of the main body 401 away from the heating element 100. The operating handle 4013 is perpendicular to the main body 401 and extends in a direction away from the main body 401.

[0050] By setting the operating handle 4013, the experimenter can be provided with a clear point of force application. The experimenter can rotate the heating element 100 by grasping the operating handle 4013.

[0051] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the main body 401 is provided with two second fixing holes 402, and the operating handle 4013 is disposed between the two second fixing holes 402. The two second fixing holes 402 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operating handle 4013 to form a mechanically balanced structure, which can ensure that the force is evenly distributed when tightening and prevent stress concentration on one side from causing deformation of the main body 401.

[0052] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5As shown, a pointer is provided at one end of the operating handle 4013, and scale lines are provided along the periphery of the second fixing hole 402. The experimenter can accurately obtain the installation angle of the heating element 100 using the pointer and scale lines, facilitating experimental operation.

[0053] Optionally, the scale lines are set on the second support plate 15.

[0054] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a groove 4014 is provided on the side of the main body 401 away from the heating element 100, and a second fixing hole 402 is provided at the bottom of the groove 4014. The enclosure structure of the groove 4014 forms a natural protection against accidental contact, which can prevent the experimenter from accidentally touching the fastener 403 and causing the fastener 403 to loosen when adjusting the angle.

[0055] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 As shown, a limiting plate 405 is provided on the side of the rotating component 400 near the second connecting bracket 300. When the heating component is installed, the inner wall surface of the limiting plate 405 abuts against a portion of the outer wall surface of the second connecting bracket 300. The limiting plate 405 can limit and position, facilitating the positioning and connection between the second connecting bracket 300 and the rotating component 400.

[0056] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the first support plate 14 is provided with a first connecting hole 12, and the end of the first connecting bracket 200 away from the heating element 100 is provided with a rotating shaft 201, which is adapted to be inserted into the first connecting hole 12. The insertion of the rotating shaft into the first connecting hole 12 enables a rotatable connection between the first connecting bracket 200 and the first support plate 14.

[0057] Secondly, this application provides an air conditioner.

[0058] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner provided in this application includes an air conditioner housing, an indoor heat exchanger 13, an indoor fan, and the aforementioned heating components.

[0059] The indoor heat exchanger 13 is located inside the air conditioner casing.

[0060] The indoor fan is located on one side of the indoor heat exchanger 13.

[0061] The heating element is located between the indoor heat exchanger 13 and the indoor fan.

[0062] Based on the aforementioned heating assembly, the heating element 100 of the air conditioner provided in this application is rotatably connected to the first support plate 14 via the first connecting bracket 200. Simultaneously, the rotating component 400 is rotatably mounted on the second support plate 15. The second connecting bracket 300, through its connection with the rotating component 400, further achieves a rotatable connection with the second support plate 15. This design allows the heating assembly to be flexibly and rotatably mounted inside the air conditioner. Furthermore, the radial cross-section of the heating element 100 is polygonal, allowing researchers to flexibly adjust the installation angle of the heating element 100 as needed during testing. This facilitates in-depth research into the relationship between the installation angle of the heating element 100 and parameters such as condensation, airflow, and noise, contributing to optimized air conditioning performance and improved experimental accuracy.

[0063] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a first support plate 14 and a second support plate 15 disposed at both ends of the indoor heat exchanger 13, and the two ends of the heating assembly are rotatably disposed on the first support plate 14 and the second support plate 15. The first support plate 14 and the second support plate 15 facilitate support of the heating assembly.
