Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically to a condenser fixing structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In air conditioning systems, the condenser plays a crucial role in condensing high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a liquid state. To improve heat dissipation efficiency, current air conditioners typically employ a multi-row condenser structure. However, multi-row condensers are susceptible to vibration and impact during transportation and operation, which can lead to their separation. This, in turn, can cause problems such as loosening of the internal structure, obstruction of refrigerant circulation, and decreased heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, ensuring the stability of the condenser is of paramount importance.

[0003] Currently, the condenser fixing structure commonly used in air conditioning equipment mostly adopts a clamping block design, which clamps multiple rows of condensers to achieve effective fixation. However, traditional clamping blocks usually only have clamping function in some directions. In practical applications, such as when facing bumps or impacts, the clamping blocks are prone to loosening, displacement, or even falling off. This causes the spacing between the heat exchange tubes of the condenser to increase, severely weakening the contact effect with the heat dissipation fins. This not only reduces heat exchange efficiency but also causes drawbacks such as poor refrigerant flow, increased noise, and increased energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a condenser fixing structure and air conditioner to solve the technical problem that the traditional clamps are easy to fall off, resulting in poor condenser stability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a condenser fixing structure, applied to a condenser, the condenser including several end plates and heat dissipation fins, the condenser fixing structure including: a clamping block and a limiting component connected to the clamping block; the clamping block includes a clamping seat and two clamping pieces, the two clamping pieces being symmetrically arranged at both ends of the clamping seat; the limiting component is disposed between the two clamping pieces for clamping the condenser.

[0007] In one embodiment, the limiting component includes at least one tongue connected to the clamp, the tongue engaging with the gap of the heat dissipation fins.

[0008] In one embodiment, the tongue extends from the center of the clamp towards the two clamp pieces.

[0009] In one embodiment, the number of the tongues is several, and there are gaps between adjacent tongues.

[0010] In one embodiment, a plurality of the said tongues are arranged in parallel and linearly on the clamp.

[0011] In one embodiment, the limiting component includes a limiting piece connected to the clamping piece, the limiting piece having a slot that engages with the end plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, the limiting piece is disposed perpendicular to the clamping piece, and the limiting piece extends from one of the clamping pieces toward the other clamping piece.

[0013] In one embodiment, the end of the limiting piece away from the slot is provided with a connecting portion, the connecting portion is arranged perpendicularly to the limiting piece, and the end of the connecting portion away from the limiting piece is connected to the clamping piece.

[0014] In one embodiment, the end plate has a protruding snap-fit ​​portion, which is perpendicular to the end plate. The snap-fit ​​portion has a fastening groove, and the snap-fit ​​groove engages with the fastening groove.

[0015] Secondly, this utility model provides an air conditioner, which includes the aforementioned condenser fixing structure.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: By setting a limiting component, this utility model realizes the snap-fit ​​connection between the clamp and the condenser, which significantly improves the connection stability between the clamp and the condenser. This allows the clamp to effectively resist vibration and impact during the transportation and operation of the air conditioner, preventing separation from the condenser and thus ensuring the stability of the condenser. It further reduces the risk of the heat exchange tube spacing increasing and greatly enhances the contact effect between the heat exchange tube and the heat dissipation fins, thereby significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the stable condenser fixing structure avoids the problem of poor refrigerant flow caused by condenser deformation, reduces operating noise, reduces energy consumption, and improves the overall performance and reliability of the air conditioning equipment.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] See Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a condenser fixing structure 1, applied to a condenser 2. The condenser 2 includes several end plates 21 and heat dissipation fins 22. It can be understood that the condenser 2 also includes several rows of heat exchange tubes 23. The end plates 21 are used to support and fix one row of heat exchange tubes 23, and the heat exchange fins are used to cover and connect the heat exchange tubes 23. More specifically, the condenser fixing structure 1 of this embodiment is used to fix multiple rows of heat exchange tubes 23, preventing the heat exchange tubes 23 from loosening and thus reducing the contact effect between the heat exchange tubes 23 and the heat dissipation fins 22.

[0035] Specifically, the condenser fixing structure 1 of this embodiment includes: a clamping block 11 and a limiting component 12 connected to the clamping block 11; the clamping block 11 includes a clamping seat 111 and two clamping pieces 112, the two clamping pieces 112 being symmetrically arranged at both ends of the clamping seat 111; the limiting component 12 is disposed between the two clamping pieces 112 and is used to clamp the condenser 2.

[0036] In practice, the condenser 2 is arranged in a complete manner, such as by overlapping several rows of heat exchange tubes 23 in the first direction; then the clamping block 11 is clamped onto the condenser 2 in the direction of the arrangement of the several rows of heat exchange tubes 23, so that the clamping plate 112 is in close contact with the outer wall of the condenser 2, and the several rows of heat exchange tubes 23 are fixed to each other under the action of the clamping block 11. At the same time, during the process of clamping the condenser 2 by the clamping block 11, it is ensured that the limiting component 12 is engaged with the designated area of ​​the condenser 2 to realize the connection between the clamping block 11 and the condenser 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the condenser fixing structure 1, by setting the limiting component 12, realizes the snap-fit ​​between the clamp 11 and the condenser 2, which significantly improves the connection stability between the clamp 11 and the condenser 2. This allows the clamp 11 to effectively resist vibration and impact during the transportation and operation of the air conditioner, avoiding separation from the condenser 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the condenser 2. It further reduces the risk of the heat exchange tube 23 spacing becoming larger, greatly enhances the contact effect between the heat exchange tube 23 and the heat dissipation fins 22, and thus significantly improves the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the stable condenser fixing structure 1 avoids the problem of poor refrigerant flow caused by the deformation of the condenser 2, reduces operating noise, reduces energy consumption, and improves the overall performance and reliability of the air conditioning equipment.

[0038] Specifically, the clamping block 11 is made of an elastic material. The elastic material possesses excellent deformation recovery capabilities. During air conditioner transportation and operation, the elastic clamping block 11 can buffer external forces through its own deformation, preventing the condenser 2 from becoming loose or damaged due to rigid collisions. Furthermore, the continuous and stable elastic clamping force of the clamping block 11 ensures a tight connection between the clamping block 11 and the condenser 2, reducing changes in the spacing of the heat exchange tubes 23 caused by loosening, maintaining good contact between the heat dissipation fins 22 and the heat exchange tubes 23, thereby ensuring heat exchange efficiency, reducing the probability of problems such as poor refrigerant flow and increased noise, and extending the service life of the condenser 2 and the air conditioning equipment. In this embodiment, the clamping block 11 can be made of highly elastic materials such as elastic metal sheets, rubber, or silicone. Highly elastic materials can provide a large rebound force when compressed, thereby increasing the clamping force on the condenser 2. The uniform clamping force of highly elastic materials can reduce damage to the surface of the condenser 2, adapting to different specifications of condensers 2 and improving the practicality of the condenser fixing structure 1.

[0039] Preferably, the limiting component 12 and the clamping block 11 are integrally formed. This integral forming eliminates assembly gaps and weak points in the connection between the two from a manufacturing process perspective. Furthermore, the integral forming process creates a complete and continuous structure for the limiting component 12 and the clamping block 11, which, compared to a separate assembly structure, can better transmit stress and prevent the limiting component 12 from detaching from the clamping block 11 due to external forces, thus improving the service life of the condenser fixing structure 1. In addition, integral forming reduces the defect rate during production, improves product consistency and reliability, and helps to enhance the overall quality and market competitiveness of air conditioning equipment.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] See Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment discloses a condenser fixing structure 1. Based on the condenser fixing structure 1 of Embodiment 1, the limiting component 12 of the condenser fixing structure 1 of this embodiment includes: at least one tongue 121; the tongue 121 is connected to the clamp 111, and the tongue 121 engages with the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22. It can be understood that the heat dissipation fins 22 typically include a plurality of fins, and there are gaps between the fins to form gaps in the heat dissipation fins 22. The gaps in the heat dissipation fins 22 can increase the heat exchange area of ​​the heat dissipation fins 22 and improve the heat dissipation effect of the condenser 2. The tongue 121 is set on the clamp 111, and the structural features of the heat dissipation fins 22 are fully utilized so that the tongue 121 can be inserted into the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22. No additional modification to the condenser 2 is required, which reduces the design cost and installation complexity. Furthermore, the tongue 121, through mechanical limiting, forms a stable connection between the clamp 11 and the condenser 2 in the horizontal direction. When subjected to external force, the friction and clamping force generated by the tongue 121 embedded in the gap can effectively prevent the condenser 2 from moving relative to the clamp 11, so that the two form a stable whole.

[0042] The condenser fixing structure 1 of this embodiment significantly improves the mutual fixing efficiency between the clamp 11 and the condenser 2 by setting the latch 121 and utilizing the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22, effectively solving the problem of easy loosening of the traditional condenser fixing structure 1 when facing vibration and impact. During the bumpy transport or vibration of the air conditioner, the tight engagement between the latch 121 and the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22 can prevent the condenser 2 from undergoing horizontal displacement, avoid the deterioration of the contact between the heat exchange tube 23 and the heat dissipation fins 22, and ensure that the heat exchange process is stable and efficient. In addition, this fixing method reduces the risk of internal structural wear caused by the loosening of the condenser 2, reduces the possibility of refrigerant circulation obstruction, thereby reducing equipment noise, reducing energy consumption, improving the reliability and service life of the air conditioning system, and also ensuring that the condenser 2 can fully perform its function of increasing the heat exchange area and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0043] Specifically, the tongue 121 extends from the center of the clamp 111 towards the two clamping plates 112. It can be understood that the multiple rows of heat exchange tubes 23 are arranged along the width direction of the condenser 2, and the heat dissipation fins 22 are typically arranged neatly along the length direction of the condenser 2, causing the extension direction of the gaps between adjacent fins to be parallel to the width direction of the condenser 2. For example, if the multiple rows of heat exchange tubes are arranged in a first direction, and several fins of the heat dissipation fins 22 are arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, then the clamping plates 112 are distributed in the first direction and clamp the outer side of the heat dissipation fins 22, and the gaps in the heat dissipation fins 22 are parallel to the first direction. The tongue 121 extends in the same direction as the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22, which can better match the direction of the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22, so that the tongue 121 can be smoothly inserted into the gap. The tongue 121 extending to both sides of the clamp 112 can provide more uniform support and limit in the width direction of the condenser 2. More specifically, when the clamp 11 clamps the condenser 2, the tongue 121 inserts into the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22 and can also apply force to the condenser 2 in multiple directions at the same time. More specifically, the clamp 112 restricts the displacement of the condenser 2 in the first direction, and the tongue 121 restricts the displacement of the condenser 2 in the second direction, preventing the condenser 2 from moving or shaking laterally in the clamp 11, improving the stability of the entire condenser fixing structure 1, and ensuring that the condenser 2 can be kept in the correct position during the transportation and operation of the air conditioner, reducing the problems of reduced heat exchange efficiency, poor refrigerant flow, increased noise, and increased energy consumption caused by displacement.

[0044] Specifically, there are several tongues 121. Setting multiple tongues 121 can increase the number of engagement points between the clamping block 11 and the condenser 2, disperse the fixing pressure, improve the overall fixing strength and stability, greatly enhance the fixing ability of the clamping block 11 to the condenser 2, and also enhance the limiting ability of the condenser 2 to the clamping block 11. This allows the clamping block 11 to better resist vibrations and impacts from all directions, prevent the clamping block 11 from separating from the condenser 2, and also prevent the internal structure of the condenser 2 from loosening.

[0045] Specifically, there is a gap between adjacent tongues 121. The gap between adjacent tongues 121 can prevent the tongues 121 from being too dense, which would make installation difficult. It can also adapt to the structural characteristics of the gaps in the heat dissipation fins 22 while ensuring the snap-fit ​​effect, so that each tongue 121 can accurately snap-fit ​​into the gap and give full play to the snap-fit ​​function.

[0046] More specifically, the gap between adjacent tongues 121 is proportional to the width of the heat dissipation fins 22. The size of the gap between adjacent tongues 121 is set according to a certain proportion based on the width of the heat dissipation fins 22, ensuring that the tongues 121 can accurately fit the distribution structure of the heat dissipation fins 22. This allows the gap between the tongues 121 and the fin width to match, so that the tongues 121 can fit precisely into the gaps of the heat dissipation fins 22. This ensures that each tongue 121 can be tightly engaged with the gaps of the heat dissipation fins 22, while avoiding situations where the gap is too large, causing the tongues 121 to fail to fully perform their limiting function, or the gap is too small, causing the tongues 121 to interfere with each other and be difficult to install. This ensures that the tongues 121 and the heat dissipation fins 22 form a tight and stable mating structure, enhancing the mutual fixing efficiency between the clamp 11 and the condenser 2.

[0047] Specifically, several tongues 121 are parallel and linearly distributed on the clamp 111. This parallel and linear distribution of the tongues 121 ensures that the clamping force is evenly applied to the heat dissipation fins 22 of the condenser 2, avoiding excessive or insufficient localized force. This guarantees that the fixing force of the clamp 11 on the condenser 2 is evenly distributed on the same horizontal line, ensuring balanced force on each tongue 121 and fully utilizing the clamping function of each tongue 121 to form a stable fixing system. It also improves the service life of the heat dissipation fins 22 and the condenser fixing structure 1. Furthermore, the uniform force distribution effectively prevents deformation of the condenser 2 due to uneven force, ensuring uniform contact between the heat exchange tube 23 and the heat dissipation fins 22. It also significantly reduces the risk of refrigerant circulation being obstructed due to deformation of the heat exchange tube 23 and the condenser 2, improving the stability and efficiency of heat exchange.

[0048] Specifically, the shape of the tongue 121 is adapted to the shape of the heat dissipation fins 22. For example, when the fins of the heat dissipation fins 22 are wavy, the tongue 121 is designed to match the wavy shape, so that the tongue 121 can be inserted into the gap of the wavy heat dissipation fins 22 and can also fit tightly against the concave and convex contours of the wavy fins. After being inserted into the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22, the wavy contact surface can increase the friction and locking force, forming a more stable locking effect. If the heat dissipation fins 22 are flat, the tongue 121 is flat, ensuring that the tongue 121 can be smoothly inserted into the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22. After insertion, the flat contact surface between the tongue 121 and the fins can evenly distribute the fixing pressure, ensuring the stability of the fixing. The shape of the tongue 121 maximizes the use of the structural features of the heat dissipation fins 22, enhancing the fit and fixation effect between the tongue 121 and the heat dissipation fins 22, and significantly improving the fixation reliability between the clamp 11 and the condenser 2. During the transportation and operation of the air conditioner, the tight fit between the tongue 121 and the heat dissipation fins 22 effectively resists vibrations and impacts from all directions, preventing the condenser 2 from shifting or loosening, and avoiding poor contact between the heat exchange tube 23 and the heat dissipation fins 22 due to relative movement, thereby ensuring stable heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the tight fit between the tongue 121 and the heat dissipation fins 22 reduces wear caused by insecure fixation, lowers the risk of refrigerant circulation obstruction, reduces equipment operating noise, and thus improves the overall performance and service life of the air conditioning equipment.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] See Figure 4-8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a condenser fixing structure 1. Based on the condenser fixing structure 1 of Embodiment 1, the limiting component 12 of the condenser fixing structure 1 of this embodiment includes: a limiting piece 122; the limiting piece 122 is connected to the clamping piece 112, and the limiting piece 122 is provided with a slot 1221, which engages with the end plate 21.

[0051] In this embodiment, the condenser fixing structure 1 uses the end plate 21 as a fixing support point. The clamping block 11 is fixedly connected to the condenser 2 through the snap-fit ​​engagement of the slot 1221 with the end plate 21. The end plate 21 itself is used to support and fix the heat exchange tube 23. The snap-fit ​​engagement of the slot 1221 with the end plate 21 can transfer the fixing force of the clamping block 11 to the end plate 21, and then act on the entire condenser 2 structure, forming a multi-dimensional condenser 2 fixing system.

[0052] Specifically, the limiting piece 122 is set perpendicular to the clamping piece 112, and the limiting piece 122 extends from one clamping piece 112 to another. The limiting piece 122 is connected to the clamping piece 112, which can make full use of the support structure of the clamping piece 112 and effectively transfer the clamping force to the entire clamping block 11, thereby enhancing the fixing effect. The limiting piece 122 extends from one clamping piece 112 to another, so that the limiting piece 122 can span the width direction of the condenser 2, which helps to increase the effective contact area between the limiting piece 122 and the end plate 21 and increase the firmness of the clamping.

[0053] Specifically, the end of the limiting piece 122 furthest from the slot 1221 has a connecting portion 1222, which is perpendicular to the limiting piece 122. The end of the connecting portion 1222 furthest from the limiting piece 122 is connected to the clamping piece 112. More specifically, the connecting portion 1222 is formed by bending the limiting piece 122. The connecting portion 1222 provides an additional support structure for the limiting piece 122. By connecting with the clamping piece 112, the force on the limiting piece 122 is distributed to the clamping piece 112, enhancing the structural strength and stability of the limiting piece 122. Furthermore, the connecting portion 1222 increases the distance between the clamping piece 112 and the limiting piece 122, providing sufficient space for the snap-fit ​​operation between the limiting piece 122 and the end plate 21, avoiding interference from the clamping piece 112 in the snap-fit ​​process. This allows installers to more conveniently and accurately snap-fit ​​the slot 1221 and the end plate 21, improving assembly efficiency.

[0054] Specifically, the end plate 21 has a protruding snap-fit ​​portion 211, which is perpendicular to the end plate 21. The snap-fit ​​portion 211 has a fastening groove 2111, and the snap-fit ​​groove 2111 engages with the snap-fit ​​groove 1221. The perpendicularly arranged snap-fit ​​portion 211 increases the contact area and snap-fit ​​force with the snap-fit ​​groove 1221. The design of the fastening groove 2111 further improves the tightness and stability of the snap-fit, making the fixation between the clamping block 11 and the condenser 2 more secure. This allows the clamping block 11 and the condenser 2 to be structurally and tightly joined together through the interlocking of the snap-fit ​​groove 1221 and the fastening groove 2111.

[0055] Specifically, the lower end of the locking groove 2111 is narrower than the upper end. This design allows for greater space for the insertion of the limiting piece 122, reducing the difficulty of the locking mechanism and ensuring smooth entry of the limiting piece 122 into the locking groove 2111. The narrower lower end, after the limiting piece 122 is inserted, provides a tight seal through dimensional constraints. This structural locking action restricts the left and right movement of the limiting piece 122 within the locking groove 2111, preventing the condenser fixing structure 1 from loosening. This ensures a stable connection between the clamping block 11 and the end plate 21 of the condenser 2. The stable connection between the clamping block 11 and the condenser 2 further ensures the relative position stability of the heat exchange tube 23 and the heat dissipation fins 22, maintaining good heat exchange efficiency and reducing problems such as poor refrigerant circulation and increased equipment noise caused by loose connections. This improves the stability and service life of the air conditioning equipment.

[0056] Specifically, the height of the end of the limiting piece 122 furthest from the connecting portion 1222 is less than the height of the end closest to the connecting portion 1222, and a transition surface is provided between the two ends of the limiting piece 122. The design of the lower end of the limiting piece 122 can serve as a guide end during snap-fitting, reducing the difficulty of inserting into the snap-fit ​​groove 2111 of the end plate 21, making it easier to align and insert the limiting piece 122; the higher end is connected to the connecting portion 1222, increasing the contact area with the connecting portion 1222, thereby increasing the connection and support stability of the limiting piece 122; the setting of the transition surface eliminates the sharp edges at the height change point, reduces stress concentration, and allows the force to be transmitted more evenly along the transition surface when the limiting piece 122 is under force, avoiding breakage of the limiting piece 122 at the height change point due to stress concentration.

[0057] Preferably, the width of the connecting portion 1222 is smaller than the distance between the bend of the heat exchange tube 23 and the end plate 21. Designing the width of the connecting portion 1222 to be smaller than the distance between the bend of the heat exchange tube 23 and the end plate 21 allows the limiting piece 122 to pass through the space between the heat exchange tube 23 and the end plate 21, achieving a snap-fit ​​fixation with the end plate 21. The size design of the connecting portion 1222 utilizes the position of the heat exchange tube 23 to physically restrict the limiting piece 122. After the limiting piece 122 passes between the heat exchange tube 23 and the end plate 21, the bend of the heat exchange tube 23 can prevent the limiting piece 122 from detaching from the condenser 2. This prevents the limiting piece 122 from easily detaching from the end plate 21 of the condenser 2 when subjected to external force, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the limiting piece 122 and the condenser 2 and further improving the fixing effect of the clamp 11 on the condenser 2. During equipment transportation or operation, the limiting effect of the heat exchange tube 23 on the limiting plate 122 makes the connection between the clamp 11 and the condenser 2 more stable. Even in complex vibration environments, the limiting plate 122 is difficult to detach from the end plate 21 of the condenser 2, effectively preventing the clamp 11 or the condenser 2 from loosening or shifting.

[0058] In specific implementation, after ensuring the condenser 2 is arranged, the limiting piece 122 of the condenser fixing structure 1 of this embodiment is first inserted between the bend of the heat exchange tube 23 and the outer wall of the end plate 21, and the limiting piece 122 is extended into the fastening groove 2111. At the same time, the clamping block 11 is clamped at the end of the condenser 2 near the end plate 21. After ensuring that the clamping piece 112 is clamped in place, the slot 1221 is pressed down to engage with the bottom wall of the fastening groove 2111, so as to complete the engagement between the limiting piece 122 and the end plate 21. The clamping piece 112 and the limiting piece 122 cooperate with each other to ensure the stability of the condenser 2 in all directions. More specifically, the clamping piece 112 restricts the displacement of the condenser 2 in the first direction, and the limiting piece 122 restricts the displacement of the condenser 2 in the second direction, which further improves the heat exchange effect of the condenser 2 and further reduces the failure rate of other components inside the air conditioner.

[0059] Example 4

[0060] See Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a condenser fixing structure 1. Based on the condenser fixing structure 1 of Embodiments 2 and 3, that is, the limiting structure in the condenser fixing structure 1 of this embodiment, it includes a tongue 121 and a limiting piece 122, and the end plate 21 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 211 and a fastening groove 2111 that cooperate with the snap-fit ​​groove 1221 on the limiting part.

[0061] The condenser fixing structure 1 of this embodiment combines the tongue 121 structure of Embodiment 2 with the limiting piece 122 structure of Embodiment 3, forming a more comprehensive and stable limiting structure. In practical applications, the tongue 121 can be tightly engaged with the gap of the heat dissipation fins 22, and the limiting piece 122 engages with the snap-fit ​​groove 2111 of the end plate 21 through the slot 1221, forming a double engaging structure, which enhances the stability of the connection between the clamp 11 and the condenser 2. The two limiting methods complement each other and greatly improve the fixing effect of the clamp 11 on the condenser 2 and the condenser 2 on the clamp 11.

[0062] Example 5

[0063] See Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment discloses an air conditioner, which includes a condenser fixing structure 1 as described in Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3, or Embodiment 4.

[0064] The air conditioner in this embodiment features a simple and stable condenser fixing structure 1, which ensures the internal structure remains stable during transportation and operation, preventing damage. Simultaneously, it improves the stability of the condenser 2, reducing problems such as poor refrigerant flow and increased noise caused by a loose condenser 2. This lowers energy consumption, making the air conditioner more energy-efficient and quieter, improving product quality and performance, enhancing its market competitiveness, and providing users with a more stable, efficient, and comfortable experience, thus meeting market demand for high-quality air conditioners. Furthermore, the simple assembly steps of the condenser fixing structure 1 reduce assembly difficulty and error rates during air conditioner production, helping to shorten the overall production cycle, lower production costs, and make the air conditioner more price-competitive in the market.
