[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a volute assembly for an air conditioner and an air conditioner. If the user needs to clean and maintain the impeller, the snap-fit ​​part 31 of the second volute part 30 can be disengaged from the snap-fit ​​part 21 of the first volute part 20, so that the second volute part 30 can be removed from the first volute part 20, and then the impeller can be taken out for cleaning and maintenance, making the operation more convenient.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a volute assembly for an air conditioner, comprising: a mounting plate 10, a first volute portion 20, and a second volute portion 30. The mounting plate 10 includes a mounting side; the first volute portion 20 is fixedly mounted on the mounting side, and the first volute portion 20 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion 21; the second volute portion 30 is provided with a snap-fit ​​mating portion 31 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​portion 21; wherein, the snap-fit ​​mating portion 31 can snap onto the snap-fit ​​portion 21 to snap the second volute portion 30 onto the first volute portion 20, and the first volute portion 20 and the second volute portion 30 can surround each other to form a volute cavity 201.

[0044] Specifically, the first volute portion 20 can be fixedly installed to the mounting side by welding or other methods, or it can be directly fixed to the mounting side by integral molding with the mounting plate 10. This strengthens the connection between the first volute portion 20 and the mounting plate 10, preventing the first volute portion 20 from detaching from the mounting plate 10. A snap-fit ​​portion 21 is provided on the side of the first volute portion 20 facing the second volute portion 30, and a snap-fit ​​mating portion 31 is provided on the side of the second volute portion 30 facing the first volute portion 20. The snap-fit ​​mating portion 31 can snap onto the snap-fit ​​portion 21. The second volute portion 30 can be installed on one side of the first volute portion 20 and snapped onto the first volute portion 20, so that the first volute portion 20 and the second volute portion 30 enclose a complete volute cavity 201. The volute cavity 201 can be used to install the wind turbine.

[0045] In this way, when the user needs to clean and maintain the volute and impeller, the snap-fit ​​part 31 can be disengaged from the snap-fit ​​part 21, allowing the second volute part 30 to disengage from the first volute part 20. At this point, the user can remove the second volute part 30 and the impeller for cleaning and maintenance. After cleaning and maintaining the volute and impeller, the impeller can be installed inside the volute cavity 201, and then the second volute part 30 can be installed on one side of the first volute part 20, with the snap-fit ​​part 31 snapping into the snap-fit ​​part 21 to complete the installation of the impeller and volute. This design makes it easier for the user to disassemble and assemble the volute and impeller, thus facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0046] Alternatively, the first volute portion 20 can also be mounted to the mounting plate 10 using fasteners such as bolts or screws. This not only ensures the connection strength between the first volute portion 20 and the mounting plate 10, but also allows the first volute portion 20 to be removed from the mounting plate 10 when needed by the user.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the side wall of the first volute portion 20 is provided with a first buckle to form a snap-fit ​​portion 21; the side wall of the second volute portion 30 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​interface corresponding to the first buckle to form a snap-fit ​​mating portion 31; wherein, the first buckle can pass through and snap into the first snap-fit ​​interface.

[0048] Specifically, one end of the first latch is fixed to the side wall of the first volute portion 20, and the other end of the first latch extends toward the second volute portion 30. A protruding first hook 211 is provided at the end of the first latch near the second volute portion 30. A snap-fit ​​portion 21 is provided on the side wall of the second volute portion 30 corresponding to the first latch. Thus, after the second volute portion 30 is installed on one side of the first volute portion 20, the first latch can pass through the first snap-fit ​​interface, and the first hook 211 of the first latch can snap onto the other side of the first snap-fit ​​interface to snap the second volute portion 30 onto the first volute portion 20.

[0049] Optionally, the first hook 211 has a guide surface on the side facing the first card interface. This allows the guide surface of the first hook 211 to first abut against the side of the first card interface when the second volute 30 is installed onto the first volute 20, causing the first latch to elastically deform and pass through the first card interface. This design makes it easier for the user to install the second volute 30 onto the first volute 20.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the front end and rear end of the first volute 20 are respectively provided with at least one snap-fit ​​portion 21; the front end and rear end of the second volute 30 are respectively provided with at least one snap-fit ​​mating portion 31.

[0051] Specifically, the front end of the first volute portion 20 refers to the side facing away from the mounting plate 10, and the rear end refers to the side close to the mounting plate 10. The volute cavity 201 has air inlets on the sidewalls of the first volute portion 20 and the second volute portion 30. The fact that at least one snap-fit ​​portion 21 is provided at the front and rear ends of the first volute portion 20 means that at least one snap-fit ​​portion 21 is provided on the front side of the air inlet and at least one snap-fit ​​portion 21 is provided on the rear side of the air inlet. Similarly, the front end of the second volute portion 30 refers to the side facing away from the mounting plate 10, and the rear end refers to the side close to the mounting plate 10. The fact that at least one snap-fit ​​mating portion 31 is provided at the front and rear ends of the second volute portion 30 means that at least one snap-fit ​​mating portion 31 is provided on the front side of the air inlet and at least one snap-fit ​​mating portion 31 is provided on the rear side of the air inlet. In this way, the snap-fit ​​part 31 at the front end of the second volute 30 can snap onto the snap-fit ​​part 21 at the front end of the first volute 20, thereby snapping the front end of the second volute 30 onto the first volute 20; the snap-fit ​​part 31 at the rear end of the second volute 30 can snap onto the snap-fit ​​part 21 at the rear end of the first volute 20, thereby snapping the rear end of the second volute 30 onto the first volute 20. This configuration can improve the stability of the second volute 30 snapping onto the first volute 20.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first volute portion 20 is further provided with a first limiting protrusion 22 at the end opposite to the mounting plate 10, and the first limiting protrusion 22 can abut against the outer side of the second volute portion 30.

[0053] Specifically, one end of the first limiting protrusion 22 is connected to the first volute portion 20, and the other end of the first limiting portion extends toward the second volute portion 30 and is inclined away from the first volute portion 20. In this way, after the second volute portion 30 is installed on the first volute portion 20, the first limiting protrusion 22 can abut against the outer wall surface of the second volute portion 30 to limit the second volute portion 30, thereby further improving the stability of the second volute portion 30 being engaged with the first volute portion 20.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the second volute portion 30 is further provided with a second limiting protrusion 33 at the end opposite to the mounting plate 10, and the second limiting protrusion 33 can abut against the outer side of the first volute portion 20; wherein, the first limiting protrusion 22 and the second limiting protrusion 33 are provided in a staggered manner.

[0055] Specifically, one end of the second limiting protrusion 33 is connected to the second volute portion 30, and the other end of the second limiting protrusion extends toward the first volute portion 20 and is inclined away from the second volute portion 30. Thus, after the second volute portion 30 is installed on the first volute portion 20, the second limiting protrusion 33 can abut against the outer wall surface of the first volute portion 20. Simultaneously, the first limiting protrusion 22 and the second limiting protrusion 33 are offset along the length direction of the volute assembly.

[0056] Optionally, the first volute portion 20 is provided with a plurality of first limiting protrusions 22, and the second volute portion 30 is provided with a plurality of second limiting protrusions 33. The plurality of first limiting protrusions 22 and the plurality of second limiting protrusions 33 are staggered and spaced apart.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the volute assembly further includes a connector 40. The connector 40 is mounted on the mounting plate 10, and the connector 40 has an abutting sidewall 42 on the side facing the second volute portion 30; wherein, the end of the second volute portion 30 near the mounting plate 10 is provided with an abutting edge 32, which can abut against the sidewall 42 facing the mounting plate 10.

[0058] Specifically, the connector 40 is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 10 and is located between the first volute portion 20 and the second volute portion 30. The connector 40 extends towards the second volute portion 30 and has an abutment sidewall 42, while the second volute portion 30 extends towards the connector 40 and has an abutment edge 32. The abutment edge 32 is located on the side of the abutment sidewall 42 closest to the mounting plate 10. Thus, when the second volute portion 30 is mounted on the first volute portion 20, the abutment edge 32 abuts against the abutment sidewall 42, thereby cooperating with the first limiting protrusion 22 and the second limiting protrusion 33 to limit the second volute portion 30.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting plate 10 is provided with a second card interface 11; the connector 40 includes a fixing part 401 and an abutting part 402. The fixing part 401 is provided with a second buckle 41, which can be snapped into the second card interface 11; the abutting part 402 extends to one side of the second volute part 30; wherein, an abutting sidewall 42 is provided on the abutting part 402.

[0060] Specifically, a second locking interface 11 is provided at the position corresponding to the connector 40 on the mounting plate 10, and a second latch 41 is provided at the position corresponding to the second locking interface 11 on the fixing part 401 of the connector 40. One end of the second latch 41 is fixed to the connector 40, and the other end of the second latch 41 extends toward the mounting plate 10, and a protruding second hook 411 is provided at the end of the second latch 41 near the mounting plate 10. In this way, the second latch 41 can pass through the second locking interface 11, and the second hook 411 of the second latch 41 can engage with the other side of the second locking interface 11 to engage the connector 40 with the mounting plate 10.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting plate 10 further includes a fastening side relative to the mounting side, and the mounting plate 10 is also provided with an avoidance opening 12 at the position corresponding to the second volute portion 30; wherein, the fixing part 401 is snapped into the fastening side, and the abutting part 402 extends through the avoidance opening 12 to one side of the second volute portion 30.

[0062] Specifically, the mounting plate 10 forms a fastening side opposite to the sidewall of the first volute portion 20 and the second volute portion 30. The fixing part 401 can be engaged with the fastening side of the mounting plate 10 from the other side relative to the first volute portion 20, and the abutment part 402 can extend through the clearance opening 12 to one side of the second volute portion 30.

[0063] In practical applications, the mounting plate 10 is also provided with an air outlet corresponding to the volute cavity 201, and the air outlet can form an avoidance opening 12.

[0064] Optionally, after the connector 40 is snapped onto the mounting plate 10, it can also be fixed to the fastening side by screws or other fasteners.

[0065] In some embodiments, the volute assembly further includes a wind turbine. The wind turbine is mounted in the volute cavity 201; wherein a first volute portion 20 is disposed corresponding to the lower half of the wind turbine, and a second volute portion 30 is disposed corresponding to the upper half of the wind turbine.

[0066] Specifically, the impeller is rotatably housed within the volute cavity 201. The shape and size of the volute cavity 201 of the first volute portion 20 correspond to the lower half of the impeller, and the shape and size of the volute cavity 201 of the second volute portion 30 correspond to the upper half of the impeller. Thus, the first volute portion 20 can cover the lower half of the impeller, and the second volute portion 30 can cover the upper half of the impeller. This arrangement allows the user to easily remove the impeller from the volute cavity 201 by detaching the second volute portion 30 from the first volute portion 20 from above, making it more convenient for the user to assemble and disassemble the impeller.

[0067] Optionally, the mounting plate 10 is provided with a plurality of first volute portions 20, and the volute assembly includes a plurality of second volute portions 30 and a wind turbine. The plurality of second volute portions 30 can be respectively installed on the plurality of first volute portions 20 to form a plurality of volute cavities 201, and the plurality of wind turbines can be respectively installed in the plurality of volute cavities 201.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an air conditioner including: a housing and the above-mentioned volute assembly for the air conditioner, wherein the mounting plate 10 of the volute assembly is fixedly installed on the housing.

[0069] Specifically, the mounting plate 10 can be fixed to the housing by fasteners such as bolts or screws.
