[0002] As user demand for air conditioners with high airflow and rapid cooling increases, the size of cross-flow fan impellers and the area of ​​air outlets are gradually increasing. The increased area of ​​the air outlet in floor-standing air conditioners can lead to deformation of the casing structure on both sides of the outlet when stored and stacked in warehouses. In related technologies, to reduce product appearance deformation, sheet metal is typically added to the casing on both sides of the outlet to reinforce the body structure. However, installing sheet metal is difficult, reducing air conditioner production efficiency and increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0044] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0045] The air conditioner according to embodiments of the present disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing, an air outlet frame 7, a sliding door, and a support side plate 1.

[0046] The housing includes a front frame (not shown) and a rear frame 5, the front frame having an air outlet. Specifically, the front frame and the rear frame 5 are connected to form the housing of the air conditioner. For example, the air conditioner according to an embodiment of this disclosure is a vertical air conditioner, the front frame and the rear frame 5 are snap-fitted together and connected by screws.

[0047] The air outlet frame 7 is located inside the housing. At least part of the sliding door (not shown in the figure) is located inside the housing, between the face frame and the air outlet frame 7, and the sliding door is used to open and close the air outlet.

[0048] A supporting side plate 1 is disposed within the housing and is connected to the front frame and rear frame 5. Specifically, the supporting side plate 1 is a supporting structure located within the housing that supports the front frame, thereby improving the structural strength of the air conditioner. This allows the air conditioner according to this embodiment to be laid down and stacked in a warehouse (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown, the support side plate 1 can support the face frame to reduce the occurrence of face frame deformation.

[0049] A clearance space for accommodating a sliding door is defined between the support side plate 1 and the air outlet frame 7. At least a portion of the support side plate 1 is spaced apart from the air outlet frame 7 and defines the clearance space, within which the sliding door can move to open and close the air outlet without interfering with other components inside the air conditioner.

[0050] Therefore, the air conditioner structure according to the embodiments of this disclosure has high strength and is not easily deformed.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing is provided with an air duct 6, the air outlet frame 7 and the supporting side plate 1 are located outside the air duct 6, and the air outlet frame 7 is located between the air duct 6 and the air outlet. Specifically, the exhaust air from the air duct 6 is discharged from the air conditioner through the air outlet frame 7 and the air outlet, and the air outlet frame 7 can adjust the exhaust direction of the air duct 6.

[0052] In some embodiments, the support side plate 1 is located on the side of the air outlet in the width direction. This allows the support side plate 1 to support the easily deformable portion of the face frame located on the side of the air outlet in the width direction, thereby reducing the occurrence of face frame deformation.

[0053] In some embodiments, the face frame is snapped into the air outlet frame 7 on the side facing away from the support side plate 1 in the width direction of the air outlet. Specifically, the portions of the face frame located on both sides of the air outlet in its lateral (circumferential) direction are snapped into the support side plate 1 and the air outlet frame 7, respectively. The support side plate 1 and the air outlet frame 7 can be used to support both sides of the air outlet of the face frame, thereby reducing the deformation of both sides of the air outlet of the face frame and facilitating the positioning and installation of the face frame.

[0054] In some embodiments, the support side plate 1 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing grooves to increase the structural strength of the support side plate 1. By providing reinforcing grooves on the support side plate 1, the structural strength of the support side plate 1 is increased, thereby increasing the stability of the support side plate 1 when supporting. As a result, the support side plate 1 is more stable when supporting the face frame, so as to provide effective support for the face frame, reduce the deformation of the face frame, reduce the occurrence of face frame deformation, and ensure the aesthetic appearance of the product.

[0055] In some embodiments, the support side plate 1 has a first plate surface 111 and a second plate surface 112 opposite to each other in its thickness direction. The first plate surface 111 faces away from the air duct 6 and is the outer surface of the support side plate 1, while the second plate surface 112 faces the air duct 6 and is the inner surface of the support side plate 1. Reinforcing grooves are formed on both the first plate surface 111 and the second plate surface 112. That is, multiple reinforcing grooves are formed on both opposing surfaces of the support side plate 1 in its thickness direction, making the support side plate 1 a support structure with concave and convex grooves, thereby further improving the structural strength of the support side plate 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the support side plate 1 is an arc extending laterally along the support side plate 1, that is, at least a portion of the support side plate 1 is an arc plate, thereby improving its structural strength and making the support side plate 1 adaptable to the accommodating space inside the air conditioner. The lateral direction of the support side plate 1 is the circumferential or width direction of the support side plate 1.

[0057] In some embodiments, the support side plate 1 is integrally injection molded. This integral molding facilitates the formation of reinforcing grooves and ensures the structural strength of the support side plate 1. This results in better installation, improved assembly efficiency, and reduced costs.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the supporting side plate 1 includes a front frame connecting plate portion 2, a rear frame connecting plate portion 3, and a plurality of connecting beam portions 4. The front frame connecting plate portion 2 and the rear frame connecting plate portion 3 are spaced apart laterally along the supporting side plate 1, and the connecting beam portions 4 are connected between the front frame connecting plate portion 2 and the rear frame connecting plate portion 3. The plurality of connecting beam portions 4 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1.

[0059] Specifically, the front frame connecting plate 2 and the rear frame connecting plate 3 are connected by multiple connecting beams 4. The front frame connecting plate 2 and the rear frame connecting plate 3 are spaced apart laterally in the support side plate 1 to provide space within the support side plate 1 to avoid other equipment and to reduce the weight of the support side plate 1. For example, the front frame connecting plate 2 is an arc-shaped plate, and the thickness of the front frame connecting plate 2 decreases in the direction away from the rear frame connecting plate 3. The longitudinal direction of the support side plate 1 is vertical, and the multiple connecting beams 4 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The front frame connecting plate 2 and the rear frame connecting plate 3 extend in the vertical direction.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first end of the connecting beam portion 4 is connected to the edge of the front frame connecting plate portion 2. The rear frame connecting plate portion 3 includes multiple segments, and each segment is connected between the second ends of adjacent connecting beam portions 4.

[0061] Specifically, both ends of each rear frame connecting plate 3 are connected to the second end of a connecting beam 4. At least part of the second end of the connecting beam 4 is located on the side of the rear frame connecting plate 3 facing away from the front frame connecting plate 2, so that the second end of the connecting beam 4 becomes a protrusion supporting the side plate 1, thereby facilitating the installation of a connection structure for connecting with other equipment on the second end of the connecting beam 4.

[0062] In some embodiments, the connecting beam portion 4 is provided with reinforcing ribs 43. Specifically, the connecting beam portion 4 includes a beam rod portion 41 and a beam plate portion 42, and the beam plate portion 42 is provided with reinforcing ribs 43. The beam rod portion 41 is provided on at least one side of the beam plate portion 42 in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) of the supporting side plate 1, so as to increase the structural strength of the connecting beam portion 4. The reinforcing ribs 43 can improve the structural strength of the beam plate portion 42, and can form reinforcing grooves on the beam plate portion 42.

[0063] In some embodiments, the side plate 1 of the support plate is provided with a groove 12 on the side adjacent to the air outlet in the lateral direction, and the face frame is provided with a sliding buckle that cooperates with the groove 12. The side plate 1 of the support plate is provided with a buckle 13 on the side away from the air outlet in the lateral direction, and the rear frame 5 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the buckle 13.

[0064] Specifically, the front frame connecting plate 2 is located on the side of the support side plate 1 that is adjacent to the air outlet in the lateral direction, and the rear frame connecting plate 3 is located on the side of the support side plate 1 that is away from the air outlet in the lateral direction. The two sides of the support side plate 1 in the lateral direction are the front frame connecting side that is adjacent to the air outlet and the rear frame connecting side that is away from the air outlet, respectively.

[0065] The face frame connecting plate 2 forms the face frame connecting side, and the face frame connecting plate 2 is provided with a sliding groove 12 that engages with a sliding buckle on the face frame. The second end of the connecting beam 4 and the rear frame connecting plate 3 form the rear frame connecting side, that is, at least one of the second end of the connecting beam 4 and the rear frame connecting plate 3 is provided with a buckle 13 that engages with a slot on the rear frame 5. In other words, the two sides of the support side plate 1 in the lateral direction engage with the face frame and the rear frame 5 respectively, so as to improve the positioning and installation efficiency of the support side plate 1 during the installation of the air conditioner. The lateral direction of the support side plate 1 is the width direction of the support side plate 1, and the lateral direction of the support side plate 1 can be a straight line extension direction or a curved line extension direction.

[0066] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the faceplate connecting plate 2 is spaced apart from the air outlet frame 7 to define clearance space for accommodating a sliding door. That is, at least a portion of the side of the support side plate 1 adjacent to the faceplate is spaced apart from the air outlet frame 7 to facilitate accommodating a sliding door.

[0067] In some embodiments, the slide groove 12 and the latch 13 are located on the first plate surface 111 of the support side plate 1. Specifically, the slide groove 12 is provided on the first plate surface 111 (the side facing away from the air duct 6) of the face frame connecting plate portion 2. Multiple slide grooves 12 are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) of the support side plate 1. Multiple latches on the face frame can extend into the multiple slide grooves 12 one by one, so that the support side plate 1 can be engaged with the face frame through the slide groove 12. The support side plate 1 is engaged with the rear frame 5 through the latch 13. Both the slide groove 12 and the latch 13 are provided on the first plate surface 111 (the outer side surface of the support side plate 1). For example, the rear frame connecting plate portion 3 and / or the connecting beam portion 4 are provided with latches 13, and there can be multiple latches 13.

[0068] In some embodiments, a mounting base 15 is provided on the side of the support side plate 1 that is laterally away from the air outlet. The mounting base 15 is provided with a threaded hole 16 and a limiting hole 14. The rear frame 5 is provided with a limiting post that mates with the limiting hole 14. The mounting base 15 is fixedly connected to the rear frame 5 by screws passing through the threaded hole 16 of the mounting base 15, so that the rear frame 15 and the support side plate 1 are securely connected.

[0069] Specifically, the mounting base 15 is disposed on the first plate surface 111 (the outer surface of the supporting side plate 1). The mounting base 15 is disposed at the second end of the connecting beam portion 4. When the supporting side plate 1 is connected to the rear frame 5, the limiting post of the rear frame 5 can extend into the limiting hole 14 on the mounting base 15 to position the supporting side plate 1. The buckle 13 on the supporting side plate 1 can be engaged in the slot on the rear frame 5 to engage the supporting side plate 1 with the rear frame 5. The supporting side plate 1 can be threadedly connected to the rear frame 5 through the threaded hole 16 on it, thereby making the connection between the supporting side plate 1 and the rear frame 5 secure. For example, the limiting post is a cylinder.

[0070] In some embodiments, the air duct 6 is snapped onto the rear frame 5, thereby facilitating the positioning and installation of the air duct 6 during installation. The rear frame connecting sides of the rear frame 5, the air duct 6, and the support side plate 1 are connected by screws. Specifically, after the air duct 6 is snapped onto the rear frame 5, the support side plate 1 is snapped onto the rear frame 5, and then screws are passed through the rear frame 5, the air duct 6, and the support side plate 1 to fix the rear frame 5, the air duct 6, and the support side plate 1 together, thereby reducing the number of screws and installation steps, and improving installation efficiency and integration.

[0071] In some embodiments, in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) of the supporting side plate 1, the mounting seats 15 of the two outermost connecting beam portions 4 are provided with threaded holes 16 that connect to the rear frame 5. The multiple connecting beam portions 4 located between the two outermost connecting beam portions 4 are intermediate connecting beam portions. The mounting seats 15 of the intermediate connecting beam portions are provided with threaded holes 16 that connect to the rear frame 5. A screw passes through the threaded hole on the mounting seat 15 of the intermediate connecting beam portion and the rear frame 5 and the air duct 6, so that the rear frame 5, the air duct 6, and the supporting side plate 1 are fixed together using the screw. The mounting seat 15 is designed with a reinforcing rib and a clearance structure to avoid the screw passing through the threaded hole 16, which not only enhances the strength of the side plate but also facilitates screw driving and improves production efficiency. For example, the reinforcing rib on the mounting seat 15 is located on the side of the threaded hole 16 or between the threaded hole 16 and the limiting hole 14.

[0072] In some embodiments, an electrical control box bracket 8 is provided inside the housing, and the electrical control box bracket 8 is connected to the bottom of the support side plate 1 and the bottom of the air outlet frame 7. Specifically, the electrical control box bracket 8, the bottom of the support side plate 1, and the bottom of the air outlet frame 7 are connected by screws. The bottom of the face frame connecting plate 2 of the support side plate 1 is provided with screw holes 16, and screws are inserted into the bottom of the electrical control box bracket 8, the bottom of the support side plate 1 (face frame connecting plate 2), and the bottom of the air outlet frame 7, so that the electrical control box bracket 8 is fixed together with the bottom of the support side plate 1 and the bottom of the air outlet frame 7. This allows the electrical control box bracket 8 to support the bottom of the support side plate 1 and the bottom of the air outlet frame 7 during normal use of the air conditioner, and reduces installation steps, improves installation efficiency, and enhances integration.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, a display box bracket 9 is provided inside the housing, and the display box bracket 9 is connected to the top of the support side plate 1 and the top of the air outlet frame 7. Thus, when the air conditioner is in normal use, the control box bracket 8 can support the top of the support side plate 1 and the top of the air outlet frame 7, and can reduce the number of screws and installation steps, improving installation efficiency and integration.

[0074] In some embodiments, the support side plate 1 is provided with threaded holes 16 for connecting to the face frame, so that the face frame and the support side plate 1 are fixedly connected by screws. For example, the face frame is fixedly connected to the top of the support side plate 1 by screws.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the support side plate 1 is provided with a connecting plate portion 114, which is connected to at least one of the front frame and the air outlet frame 7. This allows at least one of the front frame and the air outlet frame 7 to be connected to the support side plate 1, thereby improving the structural strength of the air conditioner. For example, the electrical control box bracket 8 is connected to the connecting plate portion 114 at the top of the support side plate 1 and the top of the air outlet frame 7. As another example, the connecting plate portion 114 at the top of the support side plate 1 is connected to the top of the front frame by screws.

An infrared box 171 is installed inside the housing within the infrared box mounting groove 17, and the infrared box 171 is located between the support side plate 1 and the rear frame 5. Specifically, the first plate surface 111 of the support side plate 1 is provided with an infrared box mounting groove 17 and a wiring groove 18 communicating with the infrared box mounting groove 17. The infrared box mounting groove 17 is located on the connecting beam portion (beam plate portion 42) located on the upper part of the support side plate 1. At least a portion of the wiring groove 18 is located above the infrared box mounting groove 17. The wiring groove 18 is provided with wiring reinforcing ribs, and the upper wiring reinforcing ribs are provided with slots through the wiring reinforcing ribs. The infrared box 171 is installed inside the infrared box mounting groove 17, resulting in a compact structural design and simple installation, thus facilitating the assembly of the infrared box 171.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the rear frame connecting side of the support side plate 1 is provided with a pipe baffle portion 113 for limiting the evaporator pipes. Specifically, the first plate surface 111 of the support side plate 1 is provided with a pipe baffle portion 113 for limiting the evaporator pipes. The pipe baffle portion 113 has a bend to limit the evaporator pipes, thereby preventing the evaporator pipes from interfering with other components after movement, reducing pipe damage, and thus improving the service life of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the support side plate 1 and the pipe baffle portion 113 are designed as a single unit, which can reduce the number of parts and improve assembly efficiency. For example, the pipe baffle portion 113 is provided on the rear frame connecting plate portion 3 and / or connecting beam portion 4 located at the bottom of the support side plate 1.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, reinforcing grooves are provided on at least one of the front frame connecting plate portion 2, the rear frame connecting plate portion 3, and the connecting beam portion 4. That is, reinforcing grooves are provided on one or more of the front frame connecting plate portion 2, the rear frame connecting plate portion 3, and the connecting beam portion 4, thereby improving the structural strength of the supporting side plate 1.

[0079] In some embodiments, both the front frame connecting plate portion 2 and the rear frame connecting plate portion 3 are provided with a plurality of reinforcing grooves. At least a portion of the plurality of reinforcing grooves on each of the front frame connecting plate portion 2 and the rear frame connecting plate portion 3 are alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction of the support side plate 1 and are spaced apart from each other and / or partially overlap in the transverse direction of the support side plate 1. This is to improve the structural strength of the front frame connecting plate portion 2 and the rear frame connecting plate portion 3, thereby facilitating the support of the support side plate 1.

[0080] In some embodiments, the reinforcing grooves include a front frame connecting plate reinforcing groove 21 on the front frame connecting plate portion 2, a rear frame connecting plate reinforcing groove 31 on the rear frame connecting plate portion 3, and a connecting beam reinforcing groove 44 on the connecting beam portion 4. That is, reinforcing grooves are provided on the front frame connecting plate portion 2, the rear frame connecting plate portion 3, and the connecting beam portion 4, and each component of the supporting side plate 1 is provided with a reinforcing groove to further increase the structural strength of the supporting side plate 1. For example, the reinforcing rib 43 is connected to the beam plate portion 42 to form the connecting beam reinforcing groove 44, the beam rod portion 41 has the connecting beam reinforcing groove 44, and the connecting beam reinforcing groove 44 on the beam rod portion 41 and the connecting beam reinforcing groove 44 on the beam plate portion 42 are arranged opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the supporting side plate 1.

[0081] In some embodiments, the reinforcing groove 21 of the face frame connecting plate includes an outer face frame connecting plate reinforcing groove 211 formed on the first plate surface 111 and an inner face frame connecting plate reinforcing groove 212 formed on the second plate surface 112. That is, the face frame connecting plate 2 has face frame connecting plate reinforcing grooves 21 on both surfaces of the supporting side plate 1 in the thickness direction. The outer face frame connecting plate reinforcing grooves 211 and the inner face frame connecting plate reinforcing grooves 212 on the two surfaces of the face frame connecting plate 2 in the thickness direction make the face frame connecting plate 2 a plate body with a concave-convex structure, thereby further improving the structural strength of the face frame connecting plate 2.

[0082] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the reinforcing groove 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate includes a first group 22 away from the rear frame connecting plate 3, a second group 23 adjacent to the rear frame connecting plate 3, and a third group 24 located between the first group 22 and the second group 23 along the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1. That is, the first group 22 (reinforcing groove 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate), the third group 24 (reinforcing groove 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate), and the second group 23 (reinforcing groove 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate) are arranged sequentially along the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1 in the direction adjacent to the rear frame connecting plate 3. The first group 22 is located on the side of the supporting side plate 1. By providing multiple groups of reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate, the arrangement of the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate can be made more uniform and regular.

[0083] The reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate in the first group 22 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1; the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate in the second group 23 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1; and the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate in the third group 24 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1. For example, the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate in the first group 22, the second group 23, and the third group 23 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. As another example, the sliding groove 12 is located between the first group 22 and the second group 23 in the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1.

[0084] In some embodiments, the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate portion in the first group 22 are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1, and the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate portion in the second group 23 are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1. For example, the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate portion in the first group 22 are arranged in a row along the vertical direction, and the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate portion in the second group 23 are arranged in a row along the vertical direction.

[0085] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate in the third group 24 are arranged in multiple rows along the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1, and each row is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1. In two adjacent rows of the third group 24, the reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate in one row and the adjacent reinforcing grooves 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate in the other row are alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1, and are spaced apart from each other or partially overlap in the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1.

[0086] Specifically, the outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 in the third group 24 form multiple rows of reinforcement grooves in the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1, and each row of the multiple rows of reinforcement grooves in the third group 24 includes multiple outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1. The outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 of adjacent pairs in the multiple rows of the third group 24 are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction, so that the outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 can provide space for the inner side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 212 on the second plate surface 112, so that the outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 and the corresponding inner side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 212 are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1, thereby further increasing the structural strength of the frame connecting plate 2. The outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 of adjacent pairs in the multiple rows of the three groups 24 are spaced apart or partially overlapped with each other in the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1. The reinforcing groove 211 of the outer side frame connecting plate in the third group 24 is designed as an interlaced groove structure, which can improve the strength of the supporting side plate 1, enhance the support of the face frame and reduce deformation.

[0087] For example, the three groups 24 include three rows of reinforcing grooves 211 for the outer side frame connecting plate portion. In the three rows of the third group 24, the reinforcing grooves 211 for the outer side frame connecting plate portion of two adjacent pairs are alternately arranged vertically. The middle one in the three rows of the third group 24 partially overlaps with the one adjacent to the rear frame connecting plate portion 3 in the horizontal direction of the supporting side plate 1. The middle one in the three rows of the third group 24 and the one farther away from the rear frame connecting plate portion 3 are spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction of the supporting side plate 1.

[0088] In some embodiments, the opening areas of the individual outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 in the first group 22, the second group 23, and the third group 24 are different from each other. And / or the depth of the individual outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 in the third group 24 and the second group 23 is greater than the depth of the individual outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 in the first group 22. Therefore, by providing different opening areas and depths for the outer side frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 211 in different groups, the structural strength of multiple portions of the face frame connecting plate 2 can be improved.

[0089] For example, the opening area of ​​the single outer side frame connecting plate reinforcing groove 211 in the third group 24 is larger than the opening area of ​​the single outer side frame connecting plate reinforcing groove 211 in the first group 22. The depths of the single outer side frame connecting plate reinforcing groove 211 in the second group 23, the third group 24, and the first group 22 decrease sequentially.

[0090] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the rear frame connecting plate reinforcement groove 31 includes an outer rear frame connecting plate reinforcement groove 32 formed on the first plate surface 111 and an inner rear frame connecting plate reinforcement groove 33 formed on the second plate surface 112. That is, the rear frame connecting plate 3 has rear frame connecting plate reinforcement grooves 31 on both surfaces in the thickness direction of the supporting side plate 1, thereby enabling the rear frame connecting plate 3 to form a concave-convex plate structure to further enhance the structural strength of the rear frame connecting plate 3.

[0091] The reinforcing grooves 32 of the outer rear frame connecting plate are arranged in multiple rows along the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1, and each row is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1. In two adjacent rows, the reinforcing grooves 32 of the outer rear frame connecting plate in one row and the adjacent reinforcing grooves 32 of the outer rear frame connecting plate in the other row are alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1 and are spaced apart from each other or partially overlap in the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1. Specifically, multiple reinforcing grooves 32 of the outer rear frame connecting plate form multiple rows of reinforcing grooves (rear frame connecting plate reinforcing grooves 31) arranged in the transverse direction of the supporting side plate 1 on the first plate surface 111 of the rear frame connecting plate 3, and the reinforcing grooves 32 of the outer rear frame connecting plate in each of these multiple rows (rear frame connecting plate reinforcing grooves 31) are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1. Furthermore, the reinforcing grooves 32 of the outer rear frame connecting plate portion in adjacent rows are arranged alternately in the longitudinal direction to increase the space for the reinforcing grooves 33 of the inner rear frame connecting plate portion located on the second plate surface 112, so that the corresponding reinforcing grooves 33 of the inner rear frame connecting plate portion in the outer rear frame connecting plate portion are arranged alternately in the longitudinal direction of the supporting side plate 1. For example, the reinforcing grooves 32 of the outer rear frame connecting plate portion in adjacent rows are arranged alternately in the vertical direction and are spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction of the supporting side plate 1.

[0092] In some embodiments, the outline of the opening of the reinforcing groove is triangular or quadrilateral, which can reduce the difficulty of setting the reinforcing groove and improve the yield. For example, the outline of the opening of the reinforcing groove 32 of the outer rear frame connecting plate, the reinforcing groove 21 of the front frame connecting plate in the first group 22 and the reinforcing groove 21 of the front frame connecting plate in the second group 23 is triangular, while the outline of the opening of the reinforcing groove 33 of the inner rear frame connecting plate and the reinforcing groove 21 of the front frame connecting plate in the third group 24 is quadrilateral.
