[0022] Please see Figure 1 This utility model embodiment provides an air conditioner that is easy to install. The air conditioner is mounted on a cabinet 2 of a server rack. The air conditioner has a mounting surface 1 that faces the server rack. The mounting surface 1 is provided with at least two hook structures 11. The cabinet 2 is provided with a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure that are spaced apart along the axial direction. At least one hook structure 11 is connected to the first positioning structure, and at least one other hook structure 11 is connected to the second positioning structure, so that the mounting surface 1 and the cabinet 2 are connected by screws.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, at least two hook structures 11 are provided on the mounting surface 1 of the air conditioner, and a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure are correspondingly provided on the cabinet body 2 of the server rack. By connecting the hook structures 11 to the first and second positioning structures, the air conditioner and the server rack can be initially positioned, eliminating the need for multiple people to hold the air conditioner up, and the air conditioner and the server rack can be connected with screws. Furthermore, the first and second positioning structures are arranged axially at intervals, which allows for a more balanced interaction force between the air conditioner and the server rack during initial positioning, thereby improving positioning and enhancing the connection stability between the air conditioner and the server rack.

[0024] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first positioning structure includes a positioning hole 21 formed in the cabinet 2; the mounting surface 1 is provided with a hook structure 11 corresponding to the positioning hole 21; the hook structure 11 is hooked onto the positioning hole 21. Specifically, the hook structure 11 with the positioning hole 21 can be a conventional hook-shaped structure, and by hooking the hook structure 11 onto the positioning hole 21, the initial positioning of the air conditioner and the cabinet can be achieved.

[0025] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the lateral extension length of the positioning hole 21 is a first preset value, and the mounting surface 1 is provided with at least two hook structures 11 arranged laterally at intervals; wherein, in the lateral direction, the hook structure 11 located at one end abuts against one side wall of the positioning hole 21, and the hook structure 11 located at the other end abuts against the other side wall of the positioning hole 21; the lateral direction and the axial direction are orthogonal.

[0026] Specifically, the positioning hole 21 has two side walls along the lateral direction, and the distance between the two side walls is a first preset value. The mounting surface 1 can be provided with multiple hook structures 11 arranged laterally at intervals at the positions corresponding to the positioning holes 21, and all hook structures 11 are hooked onto the positioning holes 21. Specifically, in the lateral direction from one end to the other, the first hook structure 11 abuts against one side wall of the positioning hole 21, and the last hook structure 11 abuts against the other side wall of the positioning hole 21. This allows for relative fixation of the air conditioner and the cabinet in the lateral direction. Simply hooking the hook structure 11 onto the positioning hole 21 aligns the air conditioner and the cabinet, enabling screw connection.

[0027] Understandably, the number of hook structures 11 between the first and last hook structures 11 in the horizontal direction is not specifically limited and can be adaptively adjusted according to the air conditioner's strength and weight. Increasing the number of hook structures 11 can improve the connection stability between the air conditioner and the cabinet.

[0028] In other embodiments, the lateral extension length of the positioning hole 21 is not limited, so that after the hook structure 11 is connected to the positioning hole 21, the position of the cabinet 2 relative to the mounting surface 1 can be adjusted laterally before screw connection.

[0029] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second positioning structure includes a first abutment surface 22 formed on the cabinet 2 and facing away from the mounting surface 1, and a second abutment surface 23 located on the top side of the first abutment surface 22 and orthogonal to the first abutment surface 22; the hook structure 11 includes a fixing part that is assembled and connected to the mounting surface 1, a first abutment part extending from the fixing part toward the cabinet 2, and a second abutment part extending axially from the side of the first abutment part away from the fixing part; the first abutment part abuts against the second abutment surface 23, and the second abutment part abuts against the first abutment surface 22.

[0030] Specifically, the cabinet 2 has a large opening. The second abutment surface 23 may include the bottom surface of the opening, and the first abutment surface 22 may be a side of the cabinet 2 perpendicular to the bottom edge and facing away from the mounting surface 1. The hook may include a fixing part detachably connected to the mounting surface 1, a first abutment part corresponding to the bottom edge of the opening, and a second abutment part corresponding to the side of the bottom edge of the opening. By abutting the first abutment part and the second abutment surface 23, and abutting the second abutment part and the first abutment surface 22, the hook structure 11 and the second positioning structure can be connected, and the initial positioning of the air conditioner and the cabinet can be achieved.

[0031] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second abutting surface 23 has two protrusions 231 protruding along the axial direction, and the distance between the two protrusions 231 along the lateral direction is a second preset value; the mounting surface 1 is provided with at least two hook structures 11 arranged at intervals along the lateral direction, wherein, along the lateral direction, the hook structure 11 located at one end abuts against one of the protrusions 231, and the hook structure 11 located at the other end abuts against the other protrusion 231; the lateral direction and the axial direction are orthogonal.

[0032] Specifically, two protrusions 231 can protrude upwards from the bottom edge of the opening of the cabinet 2, and the horizontal spacing between the two protrusions 231 is a second preset value. The mounting surface 1 can be provided with multiple hook structures 11 arranged horizontally at intervals at positions corresponding to the second positioning structure, and all hook structures 11 abut against the second positioning structure. Specifically, in the horizontal direction from one end to the other, the first hook structure 11 abuts against one of the protrusions 231, and the last hook structure 11 abuts against the other protrusion 231. This allows for relative fixation of the air conditioner and the cabinet in the horizontal direction. Simply connecting the hook structure 11 between the two protrusions 231 allows for alignment of the air conditioner and the cabinet, enabling screw connection.

[0033] Understandably, the number of hook structures 11 between the first and last hook structures 11 in the horizontal direction is not specifically limited and can be adaptively adjusted according to the air conditioner's strength and weight. Increasing the number of hook structures 11 can improve the connection stability between the air conditioner and the cabinet.

[0034] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first positioning structure or the second positioning structure is located in the middle of the air conditioner.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, the positioning hole 21 is located in the middle of the cabinet 2, and the first abutment surface 22 and the second abutment surface 23 can be located at the bottom of the cabinet 2, so that the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure are arranged axially spaced apart. In some embodiments, the positioning hole 21 can also be located at the bottom of the cabinet 2, and the first abutment surface 22 and the second abutment surface 23 can be located in the middle of the cabinet 2. In addition, by setting the first positioning structure or the second positioning structure in the middle or lower part of the cabinet 2, the positioning and connection of the air conditioner and the cabinet 2 can be facilitated.

[0036] Understandably, in other embodiments, the positioning hole 21 can also be set in the middle of the cabinet 2, and the first abutment surface 22 and the second abutment surface 23 can be located at the top of the cabinet 2, which can also realize the positioning connection of the air conditioner and the cabinet 2. This is not limited here.

[0037] In addition, in some embodiments, positioning structures can be provided at both the top and bottom of the cabinet 2, which can also realize the positioning connection between the air conditioner and the cabinet 2. This is not limited here.

[0038] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting surface 1 has a through hole 12, and a screw 24 is connected to the cabinet 2. The screw 24 extends through the through hole 12 to the side of the mounting surface 1 away from the cabinet 2, and a nut is threadedly connected to the screw 24.

[0039] Specifically, preliminary positioning can be achieved by connecting at least one hook structure 11 to the first positioning structure and at least one hook structure 11 to the second positioning structure. Furthermore, after connection, in some implementations, the screws 24 on the cabinet 2 are directly aligned with the through holes 12 on the mounting surface 1, at which point the nuts can be tightened directly. In other implementations, the position of the cabinet 2 relative to the mounting surface 1 needs to be adjusted laterally so that the screws 24 are aligned with the through holes 12 on the mounting surface 1 before the nuts are tightened.

[0040] In addition, screw 24 can be integrally injection molded with cabinet 2, so that screw 24 can always be connected to cabinet 2 and avoid screw 24 being lost during installation.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a first side shell 3 orthogonal to the mounting surface 1, two second side shells 4 orthogonal to the mounting surface 1 and orthogonal to the first side shell 3, and a third side shell opposite to the mounting surface 1; the two second side shells 4 are opposite to each other; the first side shell 3 is provided with a first flange 5 to each of the two second side shells 4, and the third side shell is provided with a second flange 6 to each of the two second side shells 4; the first flange 5 is attached to the outer side of the corresponding second side shell 4, and the second flange 6 is attached to the outer side of the corresponding second side shell 4.

[0042] Specifically, the air conditioner can be a square body composed of multiple side shells. For example, if mounting surface 1 is the back, then the third side shell is the front, the second side shell 4 are the two side shells, and the first side shell 3 is the top surface. From the top surface to the two side shells, two orthogonal first flanges 5 can be provided on each of the two edges of the first side shell 3. The first flanges 5 can be integrally formed with the first side shell 3, so that the first flanges 5 fit and cover part of the outer side of the second side shell 4. In this way, the connection gap between the first side shell 3 and the second side shell 4 can be covered by the first flanges 5, thereby preventing dust, liquids, etc., from entering the air conditioner from the connection between the first side shell 3 and the second side shell 4, and protecting the internal structural equipment of the air conditioner. Similarly, from the front to the side, two orthogonal second flanges 6 can be provided on the two edges of the third side shell. The second flanges 6 can be integrally formed with the third side shell, so that the second flanges 6 fit and cover part of the outer side of the second side shell 4. In this way, the connection gap between the third side shell and the second side shell 4 can be covered by the second flanges 6, thereby preventing dust, liquids, etc. from entering the air conditioner from the connection between the third side shell and the second side shell 4, and protecting the internal structural equipment of the air conditioner.

[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second side shell 4 and both third side shells are provided with heat dissipation vents 7.

[0044] Specifically, the air conditioner contains equipment such as a compressor and a motor, which generates heat inside the air conditioner. By setting up a heat dissipation vent 7, the heat from the internal equipment of the air conditioner can be transferred to the outside, thereby reducing the temperature inside the air conditioner.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the air conditioner also includes a reinforcing plate 8, which is detachably connected to the third side shell and the two second side shells 4, and the reinforcing plate 8 can cover the heat dissipation air outlet 7.

[0046] Specifically, in practical applications, after connecting the air conditioner and the cabinet, one or two side shells of the air conditioner may be blocked by other equipment inside the cabinet. At this time, the heat dissipation vent 7 opened on the side shell will lose its heat dissipation and ventilation effect, and dust or liquid may enter the air conditioner from the heat dissipation vent 7. Therefore, a reinforcing plate 8 can be installed on the side shell to block the heat dissipation vent 7. In this way, the structural strength of the air conditioner can be improved, and the reinforcing plate 8 can also prevent dust or liquid from entering the air conditioner.

[0047] For example, in practical applications, after connecting the air conditioner and the cabinet, one of the second side shells 4 of the air conditioner is blocked by other equipment inside the cabinet. At this time, the heat dissipation and ventilation effect of the heat dissipation vent 7 of the second side shell 4 is very poor, and dust or liquid may enter the air conditioner from the heat dissipation vent 7 of the second side shell 4. Therefore, the reinforcing plate 8 can be assembled and connected to the second side shell 4 so that the heat dissipation vent 7 of the second side shell 4 is covered by the reinforcing plate 8. In this way, the structural strength of the air conditioner can be improved, and the reinforcing plate 8 can also prevent dust or liquid from entering the air conditioner from the heat dissipation vent 7 of the second side shell 4.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the air conditioner may include only one reinforcing plate 8. In some implementations, the reinforcing plate 8 can be mounted on any one of the side shells, blocking the heat dissipation vent 7 of any one side shell. In some implementations, a connecting structure can be provided on the side shell at a position away from the heat dissipation vent 7, so that the reinforcing plate 8 is connected to the heat dissipation vent 7 through the connecting structure. In this way, after the air conditioner and the cabinet are connected, the mounting position of the reinforcing plate 8 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, thereby preventing the reinforcing plate 8 from being lost.

[0049] In other possible implementations, the reinforcing plate 8 may not be assembled with the side shell first, but may be an additional component, which can also improve the structural strength of the air conditioner and prevent dust or liquid from entering the air conditioner.

[0050] In some embodiments, the air conditioner may include multiple reinforcing plates 8. Similarly, the reinforcing plates 8 may be assembled with the side shell or may be additionally attached, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0052] The above is a description of the technical solution provided by this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the idea of ​​the embodiments of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
