[0023] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This application provides a connector and an air conditioner to solve the problem that bolts are insufficient to meet the installation requirements of various compressor models. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides a connector, including a screw 1 and a bushing 2. The screw 1 is provided with a first connector, and the bushing 2 is provided with a mounting hole 24. A plurality of second connectors are provided on the wall of the mounting hole 24. The screw 1 passes through the mounting hole 24, and the first connector is detachably connected to any of the second connectors.

[0028] By setting a first connector on the screw 1 and multiple second connectors on the bushing 2, and by connecting the first connector with different second connectors, the length of the screw 1 extending out of the bushing 2 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall length of the connector and solving the problem that bolts are difficult to meet the installation requirements of various compressor models.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 The screw 1 includes an integrally formed first fixing part 11 and a second fixing part 12. Both the first fixing part 11 and the second fixing part 12 are cylindrical. The first fixing part 11 and the second fixing part 12 are arranged sequentially. The side of the first fixing part 11 is provided with an external thread. The external thread on the first fixing part 11 facilitates the threaded connection of the external compressor.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 The first connector is fixedly connected to the side of the second fixing part 12. In this embodiment, the first connector includes a fixing block 13 and a positioning pin 14. The fixing block 13 is fixedly connected to the second connecting part, and the positioning pin 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the second connecting part. The positioning pin 14 extends circumferentially along the mounting hole 24.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 The bushing 2 includes a sleeve body 21, an end plate 22, and a sealing plate 23. The end plate 22 is integrally formed at one end of the sleeve body 21, and the sealing plate 23 is integrally formed at the end of the sleeve body 21 away from the end plate 22. A mounting hole 24 is formed on the sleeve body 21 along the length of the sleeve body 21. In this embodiment, the mounting hole 24 is a circular hole, the sleeve body 21 is cylindrical, and both the sealing plate 23 and the end plate 22 are disc-shaped. The sealing plate 23 is used to cover the opening of the mounting hole 24 to reduce the entry of dust, insects, etc. into the interior of the mounting hole 24 and improve the service life of the connector. The sealing plate 23 has a through hole 25 for the screw 1 to extend into the mounting hole 24. The through hole 25 is a circular hole.

[0032] The end plate 22 has multiple snap hooks 28 integrally formed on the side near the sleeve 21. In this embodiment, the number of snap hooks 28 is set to three, and the three snap hooks 28 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the mounting hole 24. The snap hooks 28 are used to engage with the snap holes on the chassis, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​between the connector and the chassis. In addition, by snapping the connector to the chassis, the assembly process of the chassis and the connector is simplified, and the production efficiency of the chassis is improved.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 The second connector is fixedly connected to the wall of the mounting hole 24. In this embodiment, the second connector includes multiple sets of connecting blocks 26. In this embodiment, three sets of connecting blocks 26 are provided, and the three sets of connecting blocks 26 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the axial direction of the mounting hole 24. Each set of connecting blocks 26 includes two connecting blocks 26, and the two connecting blocks 26 in the same set are symmetrically arranged. Each connecting block 26 is provided with a connecting hole 27, which passes through the corresponding connecting block 26 along the circumference of the mounting hole 24.

[0034] By rotating the screw 1, the fixed pin can be inserted into the positioning hole, and the positioning pin 14 engages with the positioning hole, thus fixing the screw 1 and the bushing 2. A space is formed between the two connecting blocks 26 in the same group, allowing the first connecting member to move axially along the mounting hole 24. By rotating the first connecting member between the two connecting blocks 26 and then controlling the screw 1 to extend or retract from the mounting hole 24, the position of the screw 1 relative to the bushing 2 can be controlled, thereby controlling the overall length of the connecting member.

[0035] This application also provides an air conditioner that includes the connector described above. Since the air conditioner has the aforementioned connector, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the connector, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0036] 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 in other embodiments.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
