[0030] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0031] The accompanying drawings are referred to in the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application. Figures 1 to 4 The shell assembly and the air conditioner of the embodiments of the present application are described.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shell assembly of the embodiments of the present application comprises a shell 1 and a sound-absorbing plate 3. The lower wall surface of the shell 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, the upper side of the shell 1 is provided with an air outlet 12, the inner wall of the shell 1 comprises a first wall surface 13 and a second wall surface 14, the first wall surface 13 and the second wall surface 14 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the heat exchanger 4, at least one of the first wall surface 13 and the second wall surface 14 and the wall surface of the heat exchanger 4 form an air inlet air duct 2, the sound-absorbing plate 3 is arranged in the air inlet air duct 2, the sound-absorbing plate 3 is connected with at least one of the first wall surface 13 and the second wall surface 14, and a plurality of sound-absorbing holes 31 are arranged on the sound-absorbing plate 3.

[0033] For example, the sound-absorbing plate 3 can be arranged only on the first wall surface 13. Alternatively, the sound-absorbing plate 3 is arranged only on the second wall surface 14. For another example, the sound-absorbing plate 3 is arranged on both the first wall surface 13 and the second wall surface 14.

[0034] It should be noted that the up-down, front-back and left-right directions of the shell 1 are consistent with the up-down, front-back and left-right directions of the air conditioner after installation.

[0035] According to the shell assembly of the embodiments of the present application, since the sound-absorbing plate 3 is arranged in the air inlet air duct 2 and connected with at least one of the first wall surface 13 and the second wall surface 14, when the air outside is sucked into the air inlet air duct 2 through the air inlet 11, the airflow will impact the inner wall of the air inlet air duct 2 at this time, and the plurality of sound-absorbing holes 31 on the sound-absorbing plate 3 can absorb the noise generated by the airflow impacting the first wall surface 13 and / or the second wall surface 14, thereby reducing the noise generated by the airflow impacting the inner wall of the air inlet air duct 2 when the air conditioner is in the air inlet state. Therefore, the shell assembly of the embodiments of the present application can reduce the noise in the air inlet state, which is beneficial to improve the user experience.

[0036] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sound-absorbing plate 3 and the inner wall of the shell 1 define a sound-absorbing cavity 32, and the sound-absorbing holes 31 are in communication with the sound-absorbing cavity 32. It can be understood that the sound-absorbing holes 31 and the sound-absorbing cavity 32 can constitute a resistive sound-absorbing structure, whereby the airflow passing through the sound-absorbing plate 3 can be absorbed by the resistive sound-absorbing structure composed of the sound-absorbing holes 31 and the sound-absorbing cavity 32, so as to reduce the noise generated by the airflow impacting the inner wall of the air inlet air duct 2.

[0037] In another example, the sound absorption plate 3 is provided with a sound absorption cavity 32, and the sound absorption hole 31 is in communication with the sound absorption cavity 32. The sound absorption hole 31 and the sound absorption cavity 32 can constitute a resistive sound absorption structure, so that the airflow passing through the sound absorption plate 3 can be absorbed by the resistive sound absorption structure composed of the sound absorption hole 31 and the sound absorption cavity 32, so as to reduce the noise generated by the airflow impacting the inner wall of the air inlet duct 2.

[0038] It can be understood that the sound absorption cavity 32 can be formed by the sound absorption plate 3 and the inner wall of the shell 1 being arranged in a spaced manner. Alternatively, the sound absorption plate 3 is internally hollow to constitute the sound absorption cavity 32, which is not limited by the utility model.

[0039] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the air inlet duct 2 includes a first air duct 21 and a second air duct 22, the first wall surface 13 is located on the front side of the shell 1 and surrounds the front wall surface of the heat exchanger 4 to form the first air duct 21, and the second wall surface 14 is located on the rear side of the shell 1 and surrounds the rear wall surface of the heat exchanger 4 to form the second air duct 22. In the same horizontal direction, the width of the first air duct 21 in the front-rear direction is greater than the width of the second air duct 22 in the front-rear direction, and the sound absorption plate 3 is arranged on the first wall surface 13.

[0040] It can be understood that the sound absorption plate 3 is arranged on the wider side of the first air duct 21 and the second air duct 22. In other words, in the same horizontal plane, the size of the first air duct 21 in the front-rear direction is greater than the size of the second air duct 22 in the front-rear direction, the width of the air duct surrounded by the first wall surface 13 and the heat exchanger 4 is greater, and the sound absorption plate 3 is arranged on the first wall surface 13, that is, the sound absorption plate 3 is arranged on the inner side of the front panel 15 of the shell 1.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , since the air inlet duct 2 surrounded by the front panel 15 and the heat exchanger 4 is large, the airflow sucked into the air inlet duct 2 by the air inlet 11 will impact the front wall surface of the shell 1, which will cause the position of the front panel 15 to easily produce noise. The sound absorption plate 3 can absorb the noise generated by the airflow impacting the front wall surface of the shell 1, thereby improving the mute effect of the air conditioner during use and improving the user experience.

[0042] The sound absorption plate 3 and the first wall surface 13 define a sound absorption cavity 32, and the sound absorption hole 31 is in communication with the sound absorption cavity 32, so as to further reduce the noise generated by the airflow impacting the front wall surface of the shell 1, and the noise reduction effect is good.

[0043] In another example, the air inlet duct 2 comprises a first air duct 21 and a second air duct 22, the first wall surface 13 is located on the front side of the shell 1 and surrounds the first air duct 21 with the front wall surface of the heat exchanger 4, and the second wall surface 14 is located on the rear side of the shell 1 and surrounds the second air duct 22 with the rear wall surface of the heat exchanger 4. In the same horizontal direction, the width of the second air duct 22 in the front-rear direction is greater than the width of the first air duct 21 in the front-rear direction, and the sound-absorbing panel 3 is arranged on the second wall surface 14.

[0044] It can be understood that the sound-absorbing panel 3 is arranged on the wider side of the first air duct 21 and the second air duct 22. In other words, in the same horizontal plane, the size of the second air duct 22 in the front-rear direction is greater than the size of the first air duct 21 in the front-rear direction, the width of the air duct surrounded by the second wall surface 14 and the heat exchanger 4 is greater, and the sound-absorbing panel 3 is arranged on the second wall surface 14, that is, the sound-absorbing panel 3 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the base 16 of the shell 1.

[0045] Since the air inlet duct 2 surrounded by the base 16 and the heat exchanger 4 is larger, the airflow sucked into the air inlet duct 2 by the air inlet 11 will impact the rear wall surface of the shell 1, which will cause the position of the base 16 to easily produce noise, and the sound-absorbing panel 3 can absorb the noise generated by the airflow impacting the rear wall surface of the shell 1, thereby improving the mute effect of the air conditioner during use and improving the user experience.

[0046] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 The height difference between the lower edge of the sound-absorbing panel 3 and the air inlet 11 is a, and the height difference between the upper edge of the sound-absorbing panel 3 and the air inlet 11 is b, wherein 35mm≤a≤150mm and 60mm≤b≤220mm.

[0047] For example, a can be 35mm, 50mm, 70mm, 90mm, 110mm, 130mm, or 150mm, and b can be 60mm, 80mm, 100mm, 130mm, 160mm, 190mm, or 220mm. It should be noted that when a and b meet the above parameter ranges, they also need to meet the condition that b is greater than a, that is, the upper edge of the sound-absorbing panel 3 is higher than the lower edge of the sound-absorbing panel 3.

[0048] The inventors of the present application have found through experimental research that when the sound-absorbing panel 3 meets the above arrangement parameters, the sound-absorbing panel 3 can absorb most of the noise generated by airflow impacting the wall surface, can significantly reduce the noise generated by the air conditioner during operation, and has good use effect.

[0049] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1As shown in the drawings, the distance between the upper edge of the sound-absorbing plate 3 and the lower edge of the sound-absorbing plate 3 is L1, the air outlet 12 is arranged on the front wall surface of the shell 1, and the distance between the lower edge of the air outlet 12 and the lower edge of the shell 1 is L2, wherein 0.2≤L1 / L2≤0.8. For example, L1 / L2 can be 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, or 0.8. In this way, it can not only ensure that the sound-absorbing plate 3 absorbs sound of most of the airflow impacting the front panel 15, but also reduce the occupation of the space in the shell 1, so that the position arrangement of the sound-absorbing plate 3 is more reasonable.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the sound-absorbing plate 3 is arranged on the first wall surface 13, and the sound-absorbing plate 3 and the first wall surface 13 define a sound-absorbing cavity 32. The thickness of the sound-absorbing plate 3 is e, and the size of the sound-absorbing cavity 32 along the thickness direction of the sound-absorbing plate 3 is f, wherein 1.5mm≤e≤5mm and 2mm≤f≤20mm. It can be understood that the thickness of the sound-absorbing plate 3 is the axial length of the suction hole.

[0051] For example, e can be 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and f can be 2mm, 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, or 20mm. When the sound-absorbing plate 3 and the sound-absorbing cavity 32 are arranged with the above parameters, the sound-absorbing structure composed of the sound-absorbing plate 3 and the sound-absorbing cavity 32 can have good sound-absorbing effect in the working frequency range of the air conditioner.

[0052] Specifically, as Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the hole diameter of the sound-absorbing hole 31 is c, wherein 1mm≤c≤6mm. The distance between two adjacent sound-absorbing holes 31 is d, wherein 2mm≤d≤8mm. For example, c can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, or 6mm, and d can be 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, or 8mm, so that the structure design of the sound-absorbing plate 3 is more reasonable, and the sound-absorbing effect is better.

[0053] In some embodiments, the sound-absorbing plate 3 is detachably connected with the shell 1, so that the sound-absorbing plate 3 and the shell 1 can be manufactured separately and then assembled together, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the air conditioner, and the sound-absorbing plate 3 and the shell 1 can be made of different materials.

[0054] For example, the sound-absorbing plate 3 and the shell 1 can be assembled by clamping, inserting, or threaded connection, and the present application does not limit this.

[0055] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sound absorption plate 3 is multiple, multiple sound absorption plate 3 along the length direction of the shell 1 sequentially arranged, every two adjacent sound absorption plate 3 between the support rib 17, support rib 17 along the up and down direction of the shell 1 extension. Thus can not affect the normal processing and manufacturing of the shell 1, namely ensure the structural strength of the shell 1, can improve the sound absorption effect of air conditioner.

[0057] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the utility model, since the sound absorption plate 3 is arranged in the air inlet air duct 2, and the sound absorption plate 3 is connected with at least one of the first wall 13 and the second wall 14, when the air outside is sucked into the air inlet air duct 2 through the air inlet 11, at this time, the airflow will impact the inner wall of the air inlet air duct 2, and the plurality of sound absorption holes 31 on the sound absorption plate 3 can absorb the noise generated by the airflow impacting the first wall 13 and / or the second wall 14, thereby reducing the noise generated by the airflow impacting the inner wall of the air inlet air duct 2 when the air conditioner is in the air inlet mode. Therefore, the air conditioner of the embodiment of the utility model can reduce the noise in the air inlet mode, which is beneficial to improve the user experience.

[0058] As Figure 1 shown, the air inlet 11 is arranged on the lower wall of the shell 1, and the air outlet 12 is arranged on the front panel 15 of the shell 11 and adjacent to the upper side of the shell 1, that is, the air conditioner adopts the form of lower air inlet and upper air outlet, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner.

[0059] For example, as Figure 1 shown, the heat exchanger 4 can be V-shaped, and the tip of the V-shaped heat exchanger 4 faces the air inlet 11. For another example, the heat exchanger 4 can be a straight plate type, and the straight plate type heat exchanger 4 is arranged in the shell 1 in an inclined manner.

[0060] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the air conditioner further comprises a water pan 5, and the water pan 5 is arranged in the shell 1 and located at the lower edge of the heat exchanger 4 to receive the condensed water dripping from the wall surface of the heat exchanger 4.
