[0032] In this application, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described as "exemplary" in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] This application provides a heat exchanger fixing assembly, such as... Figures 1-12As shown, the heat exchanger fixing assembly includes two first fixing seats 100 and two second fixing seats 200. The two first fixing seats 100 are adapted to be fixed to both ends of the air conditioner housing 400 along a first direction X. Each first fixing seat 100 includes a first main body 110 and a first support 120. The first main body 110 is used to connect with the air conditioner housing 400, and the first support 120 is disposed at one end of the first main body 110 along a second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X. The two second fixing seats 200 are adapted to be fixed to both ends of the air conditioner housing 400 along a first direction X. The second fixing base 200 is fixed to both ends of the heat exchanger 300 along the first direction X and cooperates with the two first fixing bases 100 one by one. The second fixing base 200 includes a second main body 210 and a second support 220. The second support 220 is disposed at one end of the second main body 210 along the second direction Y. The second main body 210 is used to connect with the first main body 110 to make the heat exchanger 300 reach the upper limit in the first direction X, and the second support 220 is used to connect with the first support 120 to make the heat exchanger 300 reach the upper limit in the second direction Y.

[0034] The heat exchanger fixing assembly provided in this application embodiment connects the first main body portion 110 of two first fixing seats 100 to the second main body portion 210 of two second fixing seats 200 to limit the heat exchanger 300 in the first direction X, and connects the first support portion 120 of two first fixing seats 100 to the second support portion 220 of two second fixing seats 200 to limit the heat exchanger 300 in the second direction Y. This can reduce the risk of displacement of the air conditioner heat exchanger 300 during transportation, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioning unit during transportation.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first main body 110 includes a first plate 111 and two second plates 112. The two second plates 112 are respectively connected to both ends of the first plate 111 along the first direction X, and the two second plates 112 are arranged opposite to each other. A first support 120 is disposed on the first plate 111, and one of the second plates 112 is used to abut against the second main body 210 to limit the heat exchanger 300 in the first direction X. It can be understood that by configuring the first main body 110 with the above structure, the structure of the first main body 110 can be strengthened and it is not easy to deform.

[0036] Optionally, each of the two second plates 112 has a mounting flange 113 formed along its edge, which is used to connect with the air conditioner housing 400. By providing mounting flanges 113 along the edges of the two second plates 112, the first main body 110 can be easily aligned and installed with the air conditioner housing 400, and the mounting flanges 113 can also strengthen the structure of the first main body 110, making it less prone to deformation.

[0037] Optionally, to fix the first mounting base 100 to the air conditioner housing 400, the mounting flange 113 is provided with a first mounting hole 101. The first mounting hole 101 is used to connect to the air conditioner housing 400 through a first fastener, that is, the first mounting base 100 can be fixed to the main air conditioner housing 400 by the first fastener passing through the first mounting hole 101. For example, the first fastener can be a screw, which is sequentially inserted into the first mounting hole 101 of the mounting flange 113 and the air conditioner housing 400 to connect the mounting flange 113 and the air conditioner housing 400, thereby fixing the first mounting base 100 to the air conditioner housing 400.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first support portion 120 of the first fixing base 100 is provided with a second mounting hole 102, and the second support portion 220 of the second fixing base 200 is provided with a third mounting hole 201. The third mounting hole 201 is used to connect with the second mounting hole 102 via a second fastener. By providing the second mounting hole 102 and the third mounting hole 201 on the first support portion 120 and the second support portion 220 respectively, the first support portion 120 and the second support portion 220 can be connected by the second fastener passing through the second mounting hole 102 and the third mounting hole 201.

[0039] For example, the second fastener may be a screw, which passes sequentially through the third mounting hole 201 and the second mounting hole 102 to connect the first support portion 120 and the second support portion 220. Alternatively, the second fastener may include a bolt and a nut, with the bolt shank passing sequentially through the third mounting hole 201 and the second mounting hole 102, and the nut located on the side of the first support portion 120 opposite to the second support portion 220 and threadedly engaged with the bolt shank to connect the first support portion 120 and the second support portion 220.

[0040] Optionally, the third mounting hole 201 is an oblong hole. It is understood that the oblong hole has the advantage of self-adaptive assembly position. On the one hand, the oblong structure of the oblong hole allows the second fastener to move a certain distance along the length of the oblong hole to compensate for manufacturing errors or assembly deviations and avoid deformation caused by forced assembly. On the other hand, the oblong hole can achieve quick alignment with the second mounting hole 102, thereby simplifying the positioning process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0041] Optional, combined Figure 1 As shown, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first support portion 120 is inclinedly disposed on the first main body portion 110, and the second support portion 220 is inclinedly disposed on the second main body portion 210, with the inclination angle of the second support portion 220 being the same as that of the first support portion 120. By inclining both the first support portion 120 and the second support portion 220, the second mounting hole 102 and the second mounting hole 220 can be directly aligned with the tool used to install the second fastener, thereby facilitating the installation of the second fastener by the assembly personnel during the actual assembly process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first reinforcing fold 211 is formed on the edge of the second main body 210. It can be understood that by providing the first reinforcing fold 211 on the edge of the second main body 210, on the one hand, the structure of the second main body 210 can be strengthened, thereby effectively preventing the second main body 210 from deforming; on the other hand, when there are traces near the second main body 210, the situation of the edge of the second main body 210 being cut off can be avoided.

[0043] Optionally, a second reinforcing flange 221 is formed on the edge of the second support portion 220. It is understood that by providing a second reinforcing flange 221 on the edge of the second support portion 220, the structure of the second support portion 220 can be strengthened, thereby effectively preventing deformation of the second support portion 220; on the other hand, when there are traces near the second support portion 220, the edge of the second support portion 220 can be prevented from being cut off.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the second fixing base 200 also includes a mounting portion 230, and the mounting portion 230 and the second support portion 220 are respectively disposed at both ends of the second main body portion 210 along the second direction Y, for example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting portion 230 and the second support portion 220 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the second main body portion 210. The mounting portion 230 is provided with a locking hole 202 and a fourth mounting hole 203. The locking hole 202 is used to engage with the buckle 310 on the heat exchanger 300, and the fourth mounting hole 203 is used to connect with the heat exchanger 300 through a third fastener. By providing a locking hole 202 on the mounting portion 230 to engage with the buckle 310 on the heat exchanger 300, the mounting portion 230 can be positioned for installation, so that the mounting portion 230 is initially fixed on the heat exchanger 300. Thus, the operator can easily use the third fastener to further fix the mounting portion 230 on the heat exchanger 300, improving the installation convenience of the second fixing seat 200 on the heat exchanger 300.

[0045] Optionally, the end plate 320 of the heat exchanger 300 is provided with a fifth mounting hole, which is used to connect with the fourth mounting hole 203 via a third fastener. For example, the third fastener can be a screw, which passes sequentially through the fourth mounting hole 203 on the mounting portion 230 and the fifth mounting hole on the end plate 320 of the heat exchanger 300 to connect the mounting portion 230 and the end plate 320 of the heat exchanger 300, thereby fixing the second fixing seat 200 to the heat exchanger 300. Alternatively, the third fastener can include a bolt and a nut, with the bolt shank passing sequentially through the fourth mounting hole 203 on the mounting portion 230 and the fifth mounting hole on the end plate 320 of the heat exchanger 300, and the nut located on the side of the end plate 320 away from the mounting portion 230 and threadedly engaged with the bolt shank, to connect the mounting portion 230 and the end plate 320 of the heat exchanger 300, thereby fixing the second fixing seat 200 to the heat exchanger 300.

[0046] This application also provides an air conditioner, such as... Figures 5-12 As shown, the air conditioner includes a housing 400, a heat exchanger 300, and a heat exchanger fixing assembly. The specific structure of the heat exchanger fixing assembly is as described in the above embodiment. The housing 400 includes a bottom wall 410 and a side wall 420. The heat exchanger 300 is located inside the housing 400 and is supported on the bottom wall 410 by a support frame 500, which is fixedly connected to the housing 400. Two first fixing seats 100 of the heat exchanger fixing assembly are respectively fixed to both ends of the side wall 420 along the first direction X, and two second fixing seats 200 of the heat exchanger fixing assembly are respectively fixed to both ends of the heat exchanger 300 along the first direction X. The two second fixing seats 200 and the two first fixing seats 100 are correspondingly fitted together.

[0047] Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] Specifically, the heat exchanger 300 has end plates 320 at both ends along the first direction X, and two second fixing seats 200 are respectively fixed to the end plates 320 at both ends; the heat exchanger 300 has support frames 500 at both ends along the first direction X, and the two support frames 500 are respectively fixedly connected to the end plates 320 at both ends to support the heat exchanger 300. The support frames 500 can be fixedly connected to the casing 400 by welding or screw connection.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the first direction X can be the length direction of the housing 400, and the second direction Y can be the height direction of the housing 400.

[0050] The assembly process of the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, firstly, two first fixing seats 100 are respectively fixed to both ends of the side wall 420 of the housing 400 along the first direction X, and two second fixing seats 200 are respectively fixed to both ends of the heat exchanger 300 along the first direction X, as follows. Figure 10 As shown; next, place the heat exchanger 300 with the two second fixing seats 200 installed inside the casing 400, ensuring that the two second fixing seats 200 correspond one-to-one with the two first fixing seats 100; as shown Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second main body portion 210 of the second fixing seat 200 is then abutted against the first main body portion 110 of the first fixing seat 100 to limit the heat exchanger 300 in the first direction X, and the second support portion 220 of the second fixing seat 200 is connected to the first support portion 120 of the first fixing seat 100 to limit the heat exchanger 300 in the second direction Y.
