Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioning unit partition mounting and positioning structure. Background Technology

[0002] In an integrated air conditioner, the internal space of the casing is divided into two chambers by a partition. One chamber houses the compressor, condenser, and outdoor fan, while the other chamber houses the evaporator and indoor fan. The bottom plate and one of the side panels of the casing are connected to the partition by multiple bolts, and the two ends of the evaporator are fixed to the side panels via end panels. During the partition assembly process, because the bolt connections between the partition and the bottom plate, and between the partition and the side panel, are not on the same plane, after all the bolts between the partition and the bottom plate are tightened, the bolt positions between the partition and the side panel are prone to significant misalignment. This makes subsequent bolt connections between the partition and the side panel difficult, ultimately affecting assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes an air conditioner casing partition installation and positioning structure, which can facilitate partition assembly and improve partition assembly efficiency.

[0004] An air conditioner casing partition mounting and positioning structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a casing, a partition, and an evaporator. The casing includes a base plate and two opposing first side panels, with the opposite ends of the base plate connected to the lower ends of the two first side panels respectively. The partition is located between the two first side panels, and a second positioning part is provided at the lower end of the partition. The partition has an overlapping part, and a downward-opening positioning groove is provided at the lower end of the overlapping part. The evaporator is located between the partition and one of the first side panels, and one end of the evaporator has a first end panel, which is adjacent to... The first side panel of the first end panel is fixedly connected. The lower end of the first end panel protrudes in the direction away from the evaporator and is provided with a first positioning part. The first positioning part protrudes upward and is provided with a limiting part. The first positioning part is embedded in the positioning groove. The limiting part cooperates with the first end panel to clamp and position the lower end of the overlapping part. The upper end of the overlapping part is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first end panel by a first threaded fastener so that the overlapping part fits with the first end panel. The second positioning part fits with the base plate and is fixedly connected by a second threaded fastener.

[0005] The air conditioner casing partition installation and positioning structure according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: The air conditioner casing partition installation and positioning structure provided by this utility model replaces the fixed connection between the partition and one of the first side panels in the prior art with the fixed connection between the partition and the first end panel on the evaporator, thereby avoiding the addition of additional connecting parts. At the same time, by providing a first positioning part and a limiting part on the first end panel, opening a positioning groove in the overlapping part of the partition, and providing a second positioning part at the lower end of the partition, the side wall between the first positioning part and the positioning groove can be utilized during the assembly of the partition. The three-dimensional positioning of the partition is achieved through the fit between the limiting part and the upper side wall of the positioning groove, and the fit between the second positioning part and the bottom plate. This avoids misalignment between the partition and the bottom plate or between the partition and the first end panel when the threaded fasteners are connected to the partition and the bottom plate or the first end panel. This allows for quick connection of the partition with other components, making partition assembly more convenient and improving assembly efficiency. In addition, after the partition assembly is completed, the gap between the overlap of the first end panel and the partition can be tightened to achieve a tight fit between the first end panel and the partition.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the limiting part facing the first end panel has a first vertical abutment surface and a first clearance surface. The first clearance surface is located above the first vertical abutment surface and connected to the first vertical abutment surface. The first clearance surface is set as an inclined surface or an arc surface. The first vertical abutment surface abuts against the upper side wall of the positioning groove.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the upper sidewall of the positioning groove protrudes toward the limiting part to form an elastic abutment part, and the elastic abutment part abuts against the limiting part.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the opposite side walls of the positioning groove each have a second vertical abutting surface and a second clearance surface. The second vertical abutting surface abuts against and fits against the first positioning part. The second vertical abutting surface is located above the second clearance surface. The second clearance surface is located at the opening position of the positioning groove. The second clearance surface is set as an inclined surface or an arc surface.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lower surface of the second positioning part is flush with the lower end surface of the partition, and the lower end surface of the partition is in contact with the bottom plate.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the evaporator has a second end panel at the end opposite to the first end panel, and the second end panel is fixedly connected to the first side panel near the first end panel.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, both the first end panel and the second end panel are provided with folded edges, and the folded edges are attached to the corresponding first side panels and connected by bolts.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the partition further includes a positioning plate integrally connected with the overlapping portion. The positioning plate is located on one side of the evaporator in the width direction, and the first end panel and the overlapping portion are located on one side of the evaporator in the length direction. There is an installation space for installing a fan between the positioning plate and the evaporator. The bottom plate has an air outlet hole below the fan installation space for connecting with the air outlet of the fan. The positioning plate is used to fit and abut against the fan.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3According to an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner casing partition mounting and positioning structure includes a casing 100, a partition 200, and an evaporator 300. The casing 100 includes a base plate 110 and two opposing first side panels 120. The two opposite ends of the base plate 110 are connected to the lower ends of the two first side panels 120 respectively. The partition 200 is located between the two first side panels 120. A second positioning part 220 is provided at the lower end of the partition 200. The partition 200 has an overlapping part 230, and a downward-opening positioning groove 231 is provided at the lower end of the overlapping part 230. The evaporator 300 is located between the partition 200 and one of the first side panels 120. One end of the evaporator 300 has a first end panel 310. One end panel 310 is fixedly connected to a first side panel 120 near the first end panel 310. The lower end of the first end panel 310 protrudes in the direction away from the evaporator 300 and is provided with a first positioning part 311. The first positioning part 311 protrudes upward and is provided with a limiting part 312. The first positioning part 311 is embedded in the positioning groove 231. The limiting part 312 and the first end panel 310 cooperate to clamp the lower end of the positioning overlap part 230. The upper end of the overlap part 230 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first end panel 310 by a first threaded fastener so that the overlap part 230 fits against the first end panel 310. The second positioning part 220 fits against the base plate 110 and is fixedly connected by a second threaded fastener.

[0027] The air conditioner housing partition mounting and positioning structure provided by this utility model replaces the fixed connection between the partition 200 and one of the first side panels 120 in the prior art with a fixed connection between the partition 200 and the first end panel 310 on the evaporator 300, thereby avoiding the addition of additional connecting parts. Simultaneously, by providing a first positioning part 311 and a limiting part 312 on the first end panel 310, opening a positioning groove 231 in the overlapping part 230 of the partition 200, and providing a second positioning part 220 at the lower end of the partition 200, the assembly of the partition 200 can utilize the fit between the first positioning part 311 and the side wall of the positioning groove 231, the fit between the limiting part 312 and the upper side wall of the positioning groove 231, and the second positioning part 220. The cooperation between the positioning part 220 and the base plate 110 enables three-dimensional positioning of the partition 200, thereby avoiding misalignment between the partition 200 and the base plate 110 or between the partition 200 and the first end panel 310 when the threaded fastener connection between the partition 200 and the base plate 110 and the first end panel 310 is completed. This allows for quick completion of the threaded fastener connection between the partition 200 and other components, facilitating the assembly of the partition 200, improving the assembly efficiency of the partition 200, and saving time and labor. In addition, after the assembly of the partition 200 is completed, the gap between the overlap part 230 of the first end panel 310 and the partition 200 can be tightened to achieve a tight fit between the first end panel 310 and the partition 200.

[0028] It should be noted that, compared with the prior art where the partition 200 is fixedly connected to one of the first side panels 120, the first end panel 310 on the evaporator 300 effectively replaces part of the function of the partition 200, thereby reducing the area of ​​the partition 200, reducing material consumption, and lowering costs.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the limiting part 312 facing the first end panel 310 has a first vertical abutment surface 3121 and a first clearance surface 3122. The first clearance surface 3122 is located above the first vertical abutment surface 3121 and is connected to the first vertical abutment surface 3121. The first clearance surface 3122 is configured as a slope or an arc surface. The first vertical abutment surface 3121 abuts against the upper sidewall of the positioning groove 231. With the above configuration, the gap between the limiting part 312 and the first end panel 310 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, thereby facilitating the insertion of the upper sidewall of the positioning groove 231 between the first vertical abutment surface 3121 and the first end panel 310.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the upper sidewall of the positioning groove 231 protrudes towards the limiting part 312 to form an elastic abutment part 232. The elastic abutment part 232 abuts against the limiting part 312 so that the lower end of the overlapping part 230 is tightly fitted with the first end panel 310. In specific implementation, a clearance groove is provided between the elastic abutment part 232 and the opposite side walls of the positioning groove 231, so that the overlapping part 230 will not affect the opposite side walls of the positioning groove 231 when it is stamped to form the elastic abutment part 232.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the opposite side walls of the positioning groove 231 each have a second vertical abutment surface 2311 and a second clearance surface 2312. The second vertical abutment surface 2311 abuts against and fits against the first positioning part 311. The second vertical abutment surface 2311 is located above the second clearance surface 2312, and the second clearance surface 2312 is located at the opening of the positioning groove 231. The second clearance surface 2312 is set as an inclined surface or an arc surface. With the above configuration, the positioning groove 231 is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top, thereby facilitating the insertion of the first positioning part 311 into the positioning groove 231. At the same time, positioning can be achieved by the mutual abutment between the second vertical abutment surface 2311 and the side wall of the positioning groove 231.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lower surface of the second positioning part 220 is flush with the lower end surface of the partition 200, and the lower end surface of the partition 200 is in contact with the base plate 110. Thus, during the assembly of the partition 200, the second positioning part 220 and the base plate 110 can be used for positioning, and after the threaded fastener connection between the second positioning part 220 and the base plate 110 is completed, the lower end of the partition 200 can be driven to fit against the base plate 110.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the evaporator 300 has a second end panel 320 at the end opposite to the first end panel 310, and the second end panel 320 is fixedly connected to the first side panel 120 near the first end panel 310. Thus, both opposite ends of the evaporator 300 are fixed to the corresponding first side panel 120, preventing the evaporator 300 from shaking.

[0034] In the specific assembly process, after the evaporator 300 is fixedly installed onto the corresponding first side panel 120, the partition 200 is then assembled.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, both the first end panel 310 and the second end panel 320 are provided with folded edges 313. The folded edges 313 are attached to the corresponding first side panel 120 and connected by bolts. Thus, by providing the folded edges 313, the first end panel 310 and the second end panel 320 can be easily fixed to the corresponding first side panel 120 by bolts.

[0036] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the first end panel 310 and the second end panel 320 can also be fixed to the corresponding first side panel 120 by ultrasonic welding.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the partition 200 further includes a positioning plate 210 integrally connected with the overlapping portion 230. The positioning plate 210 is located on one side of the evaporator 300 in the width direction, and the first end panel 310 and the overlapping portion 230 are located on one side of the evaporator 300 in the length direction. There is an installation space 400 between the positioning plate 210 and the evaporator 300 for installing the fan 500. The bottom plate 110 has an air outlet hole below the installation space 400 for connecting with the air outlet of the fan 500. The positioning plate 210 is used to fit and abut against the fan 500. With the above arrangement, the partition 200 can be used to position and support the fan 500, reducing the vibration generated during the operation of the fan 500, thereby reducing the operating noise of the fan 500.

[0038] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
