[0037] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] See Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides an air conditioner outdoor unit 1, which includes a partition 20 and a support frame 30. The partition 20 is disposed on the base 22 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1, and a heat exchanger 10 is disposed on the partition 20. The support frame 30 is installed on the partition 20. The support frame 30 includes a support part 32 that cooperates with the lower side of the heat exchanger 10 to support the heat exchanger 10. By installing the support frame 30 on the partition 20, the installation point of the support frame 30 is closer to the heat exchanger 10, which improves the stability when installing the heat exchanger 10.
[0039] Preferably, before the heat exchanger 10 is placed on the support 32, the heat exchanger 10 is first initially installed on the partition plate 20 with bolts. The partition plate 20 is provided with fixing holes 24. The bolts are engaged with the fixing holes 24 to successfully install the heat exchanger 10, thereby further improving the firmness.
[0040] Furthermore, the support frame 30 is located on the partition plate 20 and faces the compressor 50. The compressor 50 is located below the heat exchanger 10. This layout design makes the space distribution more reasonable and makes more effective use of space.
[0041] For example, the partition 20 divides the outdoor unit 1 of the air conditioner into a compressor chamber and a fan chamber, and the connection end of the heat exchanger 10 to the support frame 30 is located in the compressor chamber.
[0042] Preferably, the heat exchanger 10 can be a plate heat exchanger 10 or other types of heat exchangers 10.
[0043] Preferably, the support frame 30 further includes a first side plate 31, which is connected to the support part 32 and is disposed on the side of the heat exchanger 10; wherein, the first side plate 31 is located on the side adjacent to the support part 32 and the partition plate 20 respectively; by the first side plate 31 disposed on one side of the heat exchanger 10, the heat exchanger 10 can be further supported when the outdoor unit 1 of the air conditioner is in an inclined state, thereby further improving the stability of the heat exchanger 10 during installation.
[0044] Furthermore, the outdoor unit 1 of the air conditioner also includes a mounting bracket 40, which is disposed on the heat exchanger 10; wherein, one end of the mounting bracket 40 is connected to the first side plate 31, the other end of the mounting bracket 40 is connected to the partition plate 20, and the side of the heat exchanger 10 away from the partition plate 20 abuts against the mounting bracket 40; the mounting bracket 40, the support bracket 30 and the partition plate 20 enclose a receiving cavity for installing the heat exchanger 10.
[0045] The partition plate 20, support frame 30 and fixing frame 40 work together to form a stable receiving cavity, which effectively fixes the heat exchanger 10 on the partition plate 20, providing multi-directional support for the heat exchanger 10 and further improving the stability of the heat exchanger 10.
[0046] Furthermore, in this application, the fixing frame 40 is shaped like a U-shaped plate. The two ends of the U-shaped plate are connected to the partition plate 20 and the first side plate 31, and the hollow part inside the U-shaped plate, together with the support frame 30 and the partition plate 20, forms a receiving cavity for accommodating the heat exchanger 10.
[0047] Specifically, the fixed frame 40 includes a connecting plate 41, a limiting plate 42, and a second side plate 43. The two connecting plates 41 are respectively located at both ends of the fixed frame 40 and are respectively connected to the first side plate 31 and the partition plate 20. The limiting plate 42 is located on the fixed frame 40 and connected between the two connecting plates 41, and the limiting plate 42 abuts against the heat exchanger 10. The second side plate 43 is located on the side of the heat exchanger 10 away from the first side plate 31 and is connected between the limiting plate 42 and the connecting plate 41.
[0048] The fixed frame 40 achieves a reliable connection with the support frame 30 and the partition plate 20 through the design of the connecting plate 41, the limiting plate 42 and the second side plate 43. At the same time, the limiting plate 42 and the second side plate 43 further constrain the lateral movement of the heat exchanger 10, enhance the fixing effect of the fixed frame 40 on the heat exchanger 10, and improve the compactness and stability of the structure.
[0049] Preferably, each connecting plate 41 has at least two screw holes to improve the stability of the mounting bracket 40.
[0050] Furthermore, the first side plate 31 is provided with a connecting part 33, which is connected to the connecting plate 41 on the side of the fixing frame 40 near the first side plate 31. The connecting part 33 protrudes from the first side plate 31 so that when the connecting part 33 and the connecting plate 41 are engaged, a reserved space is left for the heat exchanger 10.
[0051] Preferably, the connecting part 33 is provided with a screw hole that mates with the connecting plate 41, so that the connecting part 33 and the connecting plate 41 can be connected by bolts.
[0052] Furthermore, the limiting plate 42 is provided with a first positioning hole 421, and the heat exchanger 10 is provided with a positioning pin 11 that cooperates with the first positioning hole 421 on the side near the limiting plate 42, so as to restrict the movement of the heat exchanger 10 relative to the limiting plate 42.
[0053] The precise positioning and fixing of the heat exchanger 10 and the limiting plate 42 are achieved through the cooperation of the first positioning hole 421 and the positioning pin 11, so that the heat exchanger 10 has multiple points of support during installation, further improving the limiting accuracy of the fixing bracket 40 and the long-term stability of the heat exchanger 10.
[0054] Preferably, at least two first positioning holes 421 and positioning pins 11 are provided so that the heat exchanger 10 will not rotate relative to the limiting plate 42, thereby further increasing the stability of the heat exchanger 10 during installation.
[0055] Preferably, the connecting plate 41 is screwed to the partition plate 20 and the first side plate 31 respectively. The screwed connection makes it less likely for the connecting plate 41 to fall off when connected to the partition plate 20 and the first side plate 31 respectively, thus improving the stability of the heat exchanger 10 during installation.
[0056] Furthermore, the partition 20 is provided with a positioning part 21 for welding, and the support frame 30 is installed on the positioning part 21 and fixedly connected to the partition 20 by welding. By setting the positioning part 21 on the partition 20 and using welding connection, the support frame 30 and the partition 20 are firmly connected, the overall rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the support frame 30 are improved, and the setting of the positioning part 21 facilitates the precise installation of the support frame 30, reduces assembly errors, and improves production efficiency and structural consistency.
[0057] Preferably, the positioning part 21 is provided with multiple welding points so that the support frame 30 can be welded more securely to the partition plate 20.
[0058] In addition, a plurality of water pipes 60 are provided on one side of the heat exchanger 10, and a water pipe 60 fixing bracket is provided at the end of the water pipe 60 away from the heat exchanger 10. The water pipe 60 fixing bracket is provided with a plurality of second positioning holes 62 that cooperate with the water pipe 60; wherein, the first spacing between the plurality of second positioning holes 62 matches the second spacing between the plurality of water pipes 60.
[0059] The design of the water pipe 60 fixing bracket and the second positioning hole 62 enables the water pipe 60 to be effectively fixed and supported, preventing the water pipe 60 from bending or falling off due to vibration or external force, ensuring the stability of the connection between the heat exchanger 10 and the water pipe 60 and the normal operation of the heat exchange system. At the same time, the matching spacing design fixes the spacing between the water pipes 60, preventing the pipes from deforming.
[0060] Furthermore, there may be two water pipes 60, including an outlet pipe and an inlet pipe, which are respectively connected to the upper and lower sides of the heat exchanger 10. The limiting plate 42 of the fixing frame 40 passes through the two water pipes 60 to avoid the fixing frame 40 affecting the layout of the water pipes 60.
[0061] Preferably, the water pipe support 61 is a long strip plate and is arranged parallel to the heat exchanger 10; in this application, the second positioning hole 62 can also be provided in two places, and is respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the water pipe support 61.
[0062] Preferably, the outer side of the water pipe bracket 61 is also provided with a detachable right side plate 23, which is installed on the base 22 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1; wherein, the heat exchanger 10 is located in the installation space formed by the right side plate 23, the base 22 and the partition 20.
[0063] The installation space formed by the right side plate 23 and the partition plate 20 further protects the heat exchanger 10 and the water pipe bracket 61 from external interference. At the same time, the detachable design of the right side plate 23 facilitates the installation, maintenance and replacement of the heat exchanger 10, improving the practicality and maintenance convenience of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1.
[0064] Specifically, the water pipe bracket 61 is detachably installed on the right side plate 23 by bolts. When the staff performs maintenance, the whole machine can be inspected without removing the mounting screws of the water pipe 60, which not only improves maintenance efficiency, but also prevents the water pipe 60 from deforming during the maintenance process.
[0065] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit 1 as described in any of the above examples.
[0066] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto.
