[0010] In one embodiment, the chassis body is further provided with a second protrusion and a third protrusion, the second protrusion and the third protrusion being disposed on adjacent sides of the chassis body, and the second protrusion and the third protrusion being configured as mounting bases for mounting the condenser of an air conditioner.

[0011] In one embodiment, the chassis body is further provided with a fourth protrusion configured as a mounting bracket for mounting the compressor of an air conditioner.

[0012] In one embodiment, the bottom of the chassis body is further provided with feet;

[0013] The chassis body also has a fifth protrusion, which corresponds to the position of the foot.

[0014] In one embodiment, the chassis body, the first protrusion, the fourth protrusion, and the water-blocking structure together define the first sub-slot, and the chassis body, the first protrusion, the fifth protrusion, and the water-blocking structure together define the second sub-slot.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first sub-slot includes a first flow section, a second flow section, and a first confluence section. The first flow section and the second flow section are both connected to the first confluence section. The chassis body, the first connecting portion, and the water-blocking body jointly define the first flow section. The chassis body and a portion of the fourth protrusion jointly define the second flow section. The chassis body, the second connecting portion, the first protrusion, and a portion of the fourth protrusion jointly define the first confluence section.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second sub-slot includes a third flow section, a fourth flow section, and a second confluence section. The third flow section and the fourth flow section are both connected to the second confluence section. The chassis body, the first connecting portion, and a portion of the fifth protrusion jointly define the third flow section. The chassis body, the water-blocking body, the second connecting portion, and the first protrusion jointly define the fourth flow section. The chassis body, the first protrusion, and a portion of the fifth protrusion jointly define the second confluence section.

[0017] In one embodiment, the chassis body, the first protrusion, the second protrusion, the third protrusion, and the fifth protrusion together define a third sub-slot, and the chassis body, the first protrusion, and the fourth protrusion together define a fourth sub-slot.

[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0042] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0043] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0044] The chassis structure of existing air conditioner outdoor units often has drainage holes. Although it has a certain drainage performance, the unreasonable design of the chassis water channel leads to a lot of water accumulation in the chassis, resulting in poor drainage. In cold regions, the drainage may even freeze. The water accumulated in the chassis cannot be discharged in time, which can easily cause the chassis to rust.

[0045] In order to ensure that the water discharged through the drain hole can be discharged in a concentrated manner, the chassis structure generally only has one drain hole. Since there is usually a raised structure in the middle of the chassis for the motor bracket to be installed, the drain hole is usually located on one side of the raised structure. As a result, the water path from the other side of the raised structure to the drain hole will be very long. The longer the path, the smaller the slope of the bottom of the water path relative to the horizontal plane will be, which will lead to the aforementioned problem of poor drainage. If the water cannot be discharged for a long time, it will accelerate the corrosion of the chassis.

[0046] This utility model proposes a chassis 1, which is applied to an air conditioner 2. For example, the chassis 1 is used as the base of the outdoor unit 20 of the air conditioner 2, or the chassis 1 is used as the base of a portable air conditioner 2. No further limitations are made in this regard.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 6In one embodiment of the present invention, the chassis 1 includes a chassis body 10 and a water-blocking structure 13. The chassis body 10 is constructed with a water receiving groove 10a, a first protrusion 11, and a drain outlet 12 communicating with the water receiving groove 10a. The water receiving groove 10a has a first side wall 10b and a second side wall 10c that are opposite each other along a first direction. The first protrusion 11 is disposed in the water receiving groove 10a, and the drain outlet 12 is located between the first protrusion 11 and the first side wall 10b. The water-blocking structure 13 is disposed in the water receiving groove 10a and is located between the first protrusion 11 and the second side wall 10c. The water-blocking structure 13 connects the first protrusion 11 and the second side wall 10c to divide the water receiving groove 10a into a first sub-groove 10a1 and a second sub-groove 10a2.

[0048] The chassis body 10 in this utility model can be integrally stamped or die-cast from a single plate. During the die-casting process, the chassis body 10 is constructed with a water receiving groove 10a, a first protrusion 11, and a drain outlet 12 communicating with the water receiving groove 10a. The drain outlet 12 is arranged through the thickness direction of the chassis body 10. Of course, the chassis 1 can also be assembled from a base plate and multiple side plates. The multiple side plates are arranged along the periphery of the base plate and cooperate with the base plate to form the aforementioned water receiving groove 10a. The first protrusion 11 and the drain outlet 12 are formed from the base plate by stamping or die-casting. The forming method of the chassis 1 is not limited in much. The first protrusion 11 is disposed within the water receiving groove 10a, which has a first sidewall 10b and a second sidewall 10c along a first direction, referring to the width direction of the chassis 1. The water receiving groove 10a also has a third and a fourth sidewall along a second direction, referring to the length direction of the base plate. In this embodiment, the drain outlet 12 is disposed on the chassis body 10, located between the first protrusion 11 and the first sidewall 10b. To enable the portion of the water receiving groove 10a located between the second protrusion 14 and the second sidewall 10c to quickly guide condensate water to the drain outlet 12, in this embodiment, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, a water-blocking structure 13 is provided between the first protrusion 11 and the second sidewall 10c. One end of the water-blocking structure 13 is connected to the first protrusion 11 and the other end is connected to the second sidewall 10c, so as to divide the original water receiving tank 10a into a first sub-tank 10a1 and a second sub-tank 10a2, so that the condensate dripping into the first sub-tank 10a1 and the second sub-tank 10a2 can be guided to the drain outlet 12 along the shortest route for discharge.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that the water-blocking structure 13 can be an independent component installed between the first protrusion 11 and the second side wall 10c by disassembly and assembly, or it can be integrally stamped or die-cast by the chassis body 10. No further restrictions are imposed on this.

[0050] By setting the water-blocking structure 13, the water receiving trough 10a, which originally had an unreasonable path and a long distance to the drain outlet 12, can be divided into a first sub-trough 10a1 and a second sub-trough 10a2. This allows condensate to flow quickly to the drain outlet 12 through the first sub-trough 10a1 and the second sub-trough 10a2, which have a shorter distance to the drain outlet 12. Furthermore, since one end of the water-blocking structure 13 is connected to the first protrusion 11 and the other end is connected to the second side wall 10c, the design of the water-blocking structure 13 can also effectively improve the structural strength of the chassis 1, thereby making the chassis 1 itself more robust.

[0051] In one embodiment, the bottom of the first sub-trough 10a1 is inclined from the end away from the drain outlet 12 to the direction of extension toward the drain outlet 12; and / or, the bottom of the second sub-trough 10a2 is inclined from the end away from the drain outlet 12 to the direction of extension toward the drain outlet 12. In order to allow condensate dripping onto the first sub-trough 10a1 and the second sub-trough 10a2 to flow quickly through the first sub-trough 10a1 and the second sub-trough 10a2 to the drain outlet 12 and then discharge from the chassis 1 through the drain outlet 12, in this embodiment, exemplarily, as shown... Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the bottom of the first sub-trough 10a1 is inclined from the end furthest from the drain outlet 12 to the direction of extension towards the drain outlet 12. That is, the bottom of the first sub-trough 10a1 is inclined along the flow direction of condensate from the starting end of the first sub-trough 10a1 to the drain outlet 12. This arrangement improves the smoothness of condensate flow within the first sub-trough 10a1 and more effectively prevents water accumulation. It is worth noting that the starting end refers to the end furthest from the drain outlet 12; the number of such ends can be one or more, without much limitation. In another embodiment, the bottom of the second sub-trough 10a2 is also inclined from the end furthest from the drain outlet 12 to the direction of extension towards the drain outlet 12. That is, the bottom of the second sub-trough 10a2 is also inclined, and the inclination of the bottom of the second sub-trough 10a2 can be similar to that of the bottom of the first sub-trough 10a1. In other embodiments, the bottom of the first sub-slot 10a1 and the bottom of the second sub-slot 10a2 are both inclined, with the inclination extending from the end furthest from the drain outlet 12 to the drain outlet 12. That is, the drain outlet 12 is at the lowest point on the chassis body 10, and the end of the first sub-slot 10a1 and the second sub-slot 10a2 furthest from the drain outlet 12 is at the highest point in the slot. The bottom of the first sub-slot 10a1 and the second sub-slot 10a2 is inclined from the highest point to the lowest point, which allows the condensate to flow more smoothly and be discharged more quickly through the drain outlet 12.

[0052] In one embodiment, the water-blocking structure 13 includes a water-blocking main body 131 extending along a second direction and a first connecting portion 132 and a second connecting portion 133 disposed on both sides of the water-blocking main body 131. Both the first connecting portion 132 and the second connecting portion 133 extend along the first direction, and the first and second directions intersect. To further enhance the effect of the water-blocking structure 13 in increasing the strength of the chassis 1, for example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the water-blocking structure 13 includes a water-blocking main body 131 extending along a second direction, and a first connecting portion 132 and a second connecting portion 133 disposed on both sides of the water-blocking main body 131 and extending along a first direction, so that the water-blocking structure 13 is generally in the shape of an inverted Z. The first direction and the second direction are the same as those referred to in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail. In this embodiment, the water-blocking structure 13 is connected to the second side wall 10c through the first connecting portion 132 and connected to the first protrusion 11 through the second connecting portion 133. With this arrangement, not only can the first protrusion 11 be connected to the second side wall 10c of the chassis body 10, but the arrangement of the water-blocking main body 131 can also strengthen the structural strength of the chassis 1 in the length direction, thereby improving the structural strength of the chassis 1 in both the width and length directions.

[0053] In one embodiment, the chassis body 10 further comprises a second protrusion 14 and a third protrusion 15, which are disposed on adjacent sides of the chassis body 10. The second protrusion 14 and the third protrusion 15 are configured as mounting bases 212 for mounting the condenser of the air conditioner 2. To enable the chassis body 10 to be installed with other external devices, for example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the chassis body 10 is also constructed with a second protrusion 14 and a third protrusion 15, wherein the second protrusion 14 and the third protrusion 15 are respectively provided on adjacent sides of the chassis body 10, that is, the first sidewall 10b and the third sidewall or the fourth sidewall mentioned in the above embodiment. This arrangement can strengthen the structural strength of the side of the chassis body 10, and the second protrusion 14 and the third protrusion 15 work together to serve as the condenser for the air conditioner 2. This arrangement not only facilitates the installation of the condenser of the air conditioner 2, but also improves the structural strength of the side of the chassis 1.

[0054] In one embodiment, the chassis body 10 is further provided with a fourth protrusion 16, which is configured as a mounting base 212 for mounting the compressor of the air conditioner 2. Similarly, to enable the chassis body 10 to accommodate devices other than the aforementioned condenser, as shown in example 2, in this embodiment, the chassis body 10 is provided with a fourth protrusion 16, which is disposed on the opposite side of the third protrusion 15 in the above embodiment. Assuming the third protrusion 15 is disposed on the third sidewall, then the fourth protrusion 16 is disposed on the fourth sidewall. The fourth protrusion 16 is mainly used for compressor mounting; of course, the fourth protrusion 16 also serves to strengthen the structural strength of the chassis 1.

[0055] In one embodiment, the bottom of the chassis body 10 is further provided with feet 18; the chassis 1 has a fifth protrusion 17 on its upper body, the fifth protrusion 17 corresponding to the position of the feet 18. To enable the chassis 1 to be stably mounted on the supporting surface, four feet 18 are also provided around the chassis 1. For further improvement of the structural stability of the chassis 1, exemplarily, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a fifth protrusion 17 is also constructed on the chassis body 10. As long as the fifth protrusion 17 corresponds to the position of one of the four feet 18, the structural strength of the chassis 1 relative to the foot 18 can be improved.

[0056] In one embodiment, the chassis body 10, the first protrusion 11, the fourth protrusion 16, and the water-blocking structure 13 together define a first sub-groove 10a1, and the chassis body 10, the first protrusion 11, the fifth protrusion 17, and the water-blocking structure 13 together define a second sub-groove 10a2. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first sub-slot 10a1 is defined by the chassis body 10 (slot bottom), the first protrusion 11, the fourth protrusion 16, and the water-blocking structure 13, while the second sub-slot 10a2 is defined by the chassis body 10 (slot bottom), the first protrusion 11, the fifth protrusion 17, and the water-blocking structure 13. Alternatively, if the fifth protrusion 17 is not provided, the second sub-slot 10a2 may be defined by the chassis body 10 (slot bottom), the first protrusion 11, the third protrusion 15, the second protrusion 14, and the water-blocking structure 13. No further limitations are imposed on this.

[0057] In one embodiment, the first sub-sink 10a1 includes a first flow section 10a11, a second flow section 10a12, and a first confluence section 10a13. Both the first flow section 10a11 and the second flow section 10a12 are connected to the first confluence section 10a13. The chassis body 10, the first connecting portion 132, and the water-blocking body 131 jointly define the first flow section 10a11. The chassis body 10 and a portion of the fourth protrusion 16 jointly define the second flow section 10a12. The chassis body 10, the second connecting portion 133, the first protrusion 11, and a portion of the fourth protrusion 16 jointly define the first confluence section 10a13. To ensure the flow efficiency of condensate water in the first sub-sink 10a1, for example, as shown... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first sub-slot 10a1 includes a first flow section 10a11, a second flow section 10a12, and a first confluence section 10a13. The first flow section 10a11 is defined by the chassis body 10, the first connecting part 132, and the water-blocking body 131. The second flow section 10a12 is defined by the chassis body 10 and a portion of the fourth protrusion 16. The first confluence section is defined by the chassis body 10, the second connecting part 133, the first protrusion 11, and a portion of the fourth protrusion 16. This configuration allows the first sub-slot 10a1 to have a first flow section 10a11 and a second flow section 10a12, which are equivalent to two branches. Since both the first flow section 10a11 and the second flow section 10a12 are connected to the first confluence section 10a13, and since the first confluence section 10a13 is the longest, the first flow section 10a11 and the second flow section 10a12 can collect condensate from different locations and then flow into the first confluence section 10a13. When the two streams of condensate converge, the flow power is increased, so that the condensate can flow to the drain outlet 12 more quickly after the increased power.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second sub-slot 10a2 includes a third flow section 10a21, a fourth flow section 10a22, and a second confluence section 10a23. The third flow section 10a21 and the fourth flow section 10a22 are both connected to the second confluence section 10a23. The chassis body 10, the first connecting part 132, and a portion of the fifth protrusion 17 jointly define the third flow section 10a21. The chassis body 10, the water-blocking body 131, the second connecting part 133, and the first protrusion 11 jointly define the fourth flow section 10a22. The chassis body 10, the first protrusion 11, and a portion of the fifth protrusion 17 jointly define the second confluence section 10a23. To ensure that the second sub-slot 10a2 has the same function as the first sub-slot 10a1, in this embodiment, the second sub-slot 10a2 also includes a third flow section 10a21, a fourth flow section 10a22, and a second confluence section 10a23. The third flow section 10a21 is defined by the chassis body 10, the first connecting part 132, and a portion of the fifth protrusion 17. The fourth flow section 10a22 is defined by the chassis body 10, the water-blocking body 131, the second connecting part 133, and the first protrusion 11. The second confluence section 10a23 is defined by the chassis body 10, the first protrusion 11, and a portion of the fifth protrusion 17. In this embodiment, the second sub-slot 10a2 is configured in this way to increase the area of ​​the second sub-slot 10a2 that receives condensate water and to improve the effect of condensate water flowing in the second confluence section 10a23, which has the longest path. Further details will not be provided here.

[0059] In one embodiment, the chassis body 10, the first protrusion 11, the second protrusion 14, the third protrusion 15, and the fifth protrusion 17 together define a third sub-groove 10a3, and the chassis body 10, the first protrusion 11, and the fourth protrusion 16 together define a fourth sub-groove 10a4. The first sub-groove 10a1 and the fourth sub-groove 10a4 are connected, and the second sub-groove 10a2 and the third sub-groove 10a3 are connected. Similarly, to increase the area of ​​the chassis 1 that can collect condensate, for example, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the chassis 1 also has a third sub-slot 10a3 and a fourth sub-slot 10a4. The third sub-slot 10a3 is defined by the chassis body 10, the first protrusion 11, the second protrusion 14, the third protrusion 15, and the fifth protrusion 17. The fourth sub-slot 10a4 is defined by the chassis body 10, the first protrusion 11, and the fourth protrusion 16. The first sub-slot 10a1 is connected to the fourth sub-slot 10a4 through the first confluence section 10a13, and the second sub-slot 10a2 is connected to the third sub-slot 10a3 through the second confluence section 10a23. This arrangement can improve the chassis 1's ability to collect condensate.

[0060] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner 2, which includes an outdoor unit 20 and a chassis 1 as described in the above embodiments. The specific structure of the chassis 1 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner 2 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 described in detail here. Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the chassis 1 is located at the bottom of the outdoor unit 20 of the air conditioner. In other words, the chassis 1 is the base of the outdoor unit 20 of the air conditioner.

[0061] In one embodiment, the outdoor unit 20 of the air conditioner has a motor bracket 21, which is detachably mounted on the first protrusion 11 and the water-blocking structure 13. To enable the motor bracket 21 to be more stably mounted on the chassis 1, for example, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the motor bracket 21 is detachably mounted on the first protrusion 11, and part of the motor bracket 21 is supported on the water-blocking structure 13. This arrangement allows the motor bracket 21 to achieve a more stable support effect when mounted on the chassis 1.

[0062] In one embodiment, the water-blocking structure 13 protrudes from the chassis body 10 at a height of H1, and the first protrusion 11 protrudes from the chassis body 10 at a height of H2, where H1 < H2. To facilitate the installation of the motor bracket 21 on the chassis 1, for example, as shown... Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the water-blocking structure 13 is lower than the first protrusion 11, that is, the water-blocking structure 13 is located on the side wall of the first protrusion 11 and does not protrude from the top surface of the first protrusion 11. This arrangement allows the motor bracket 21 to be easily installed. It is worth mentioning that the height of the water-blocking structure 13 can be 3-5mm lower than the first protrusion 11, and no further limitations are imposed on this.

[0063] In one embodiment, the motor bracket 21 includes a bracket body 211 and a mounting base 212. The mounting base 212 includes a base body 2121 and a flange 2122. The base body 2121 is provided with a positioning part 2123, and the flange 2122 is provided with a notch 2124. The first protrusion 11 is provided with a positioning hole 111 corresponding to the positioning part 2123, and the notch 2124 is fitted onto the water-blocking structure 13. To enable the motor bracket 21 to be installed on both the first protrusion 11 and the water-blocking structure 13 simultaneously, for example, Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in this embodiment, the motor bracket 21 includes a bracket body 211 for mounting the motor and a mounting seat 212 for mounting on the first protrusion 11 and the water-blocking structure 13. It is understood that the bracket body 211 and the mounting seat 212 can be an integral structure or separate structures; no further limitations are imposed on this. The mounting seat 212 includes a seat body 2121 and a flange 2122, wherein the seat body 2121 is fitted against the top surface of the first protrusion 11, and the flange 2122 abuts against the side wall of the first protrusion 11. It is understood that the flange 2122 can be formed by stamping the seat body 2121. In order to ensure that the base 2121 can be stably installed on the first protrusion 11, in this embodiment, the base 2121 is provided with a positioning part 2123, and the first protrusion 11 is provided with a positioning hole 111 corresponding to the positioning. When the mounting base 212 is installed on the first protrusion 11 and the water-blocking structure 13, the positioning part 2123 is inserted into the positioning hole 111. It is worth mentioning that the positioning part 2123 can be a protrusion formed by stamping or die casting of the base 2121, or it can be a protrusion installed on the base 2121 later. No further restrictions are imposed on this. To enable the folded edge 2122 to support the water-blocking structure 13, in this embodiment, the folded edge 2122 has a notch 2124 at the position corresponding to the water-blocking structure 13. When the mounting base 212 is installed on the first protrusion 11 and the water-blocking structure 13, the folded edge 2122 is supported on the water-blocking structure 13 through the notch 2124. With this arrangement, the water-blocking structure 13 can serve as a guide installation structure when the motor bracket 21 is installed. In this way, the screw hole on the folded edge 2122 of the mounting base 212 can be aligned with the mating hole on the first protrusion 11 corresponding to the screw hole, which facilitates the later fastening of the two by fasteners through the screw hole and the mating hole. In addition, the water-blocking structure 13 can also provide auxiliary support for the notch 2124 of the folded edge 2122, so that the motor bracket 21 can be more stably mounted on the chassis 1.

[0064] In one embodiment, the notch 2124 is further provided with a flange 2125, which is configured as a support member supported on the water-blocking structure 13. Further, as... Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a flange 2125 is also provided at the notch 2124 of the folded edge 2122. The flange 2125 can strengthen the contact area between the folded edge 2122 and the water-blocking structure 13, thereby improving the connection between the mounting base 212 and the water-blocking structure 13, so that the mounting base 212 can use the water-blocking structure 13 as an auxiliary support base, thereby further improving the connection effect between the motor bracket 21 and the chassis 1.
