Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a piping fixing structure and a split portable air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional split-type portable air conditioners have indoor and outdoor units, and the piping connecting the indoor and outdoor units has always been difficult to install, condensate from the piping can easily flow outside the machine, and poor fixing can cause the whole machine to vibrate excessively. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the technical problems of difficulty in fixing the condenser pipe and the condensate flowing outside the machine in the prior art of split portable air conditioners, this application proposes a piping fixing structure and a split portable air conditioner, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] This utility model provides a piping fixing structure, including: a fixing rubber, which is attached to the body panel of an air conditioner, and a vertical pipe clamping groove is formed on the fixing rubber for connecting the refrigerant pipe assembly of the air conditioner. An open guide notch is formed near the body panel of the pipe clamping groove; and a connecting bracket, which includes an envelope section and connecting ears disposed at both ends of the envelope section. The connecting bracket presses the fixing rubber onto the body panel through the envelope section and connects the fixing rubber to the body panel through the connecting ears.

[0006] Furthermore, the portion of the top of the fixing rubber near the tube groove is lowered, forming a barrier around the top of the fixing rubber to collect condensate on the outer wall of the refrigerant pipe assembly and introduce it into the guide notch.

[0007] Furthermore, one side of the fixed rubber-bonded machine body panel is free of the aforementioned barrier.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide notch has a wider outer channel and a narrower inner channel.

[0009] Furthermore, a concave ring is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing rubber, which is engaged by the envelope segment.

[0010] Furthermore, positioning protrusions are formed on two opposing surfaces of the fixing rubber adjacent to the machine body panel, and correspondingly, positioning grooves that cooperate with the positioning protrusions are formed on the connecting bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, a wire-locking groove is formed on the side of the fixing rubber away from the machine body panel.

[0012] Furthermore, the fuselage panels are made up of one or two parts pieced together.

[0013] Another aspect of this utility model provides a split portable air conditioner, including an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit and / or the outdoor unit are equipped with the above-mentioned piping fixing structure. The bottom of the indoor unit and / or the outdoor unit where the piping fixing structure is located is equipped with a water receiving tray to receive condensate falling from the refrigerant pipe assembly. After the condensate enters the interior of the water receiving tray, it is pumped out of the unit by a water pump.

[0014] Furthermore, the vertical refrigerant pipe assembly passes through the piping fixing structure and then bends into the body of the indoor unit and / or outdoor unit. The bend of the refrigerant pipe assembly forms the lowest water drop point of the refrigerant pipe assembly. The water receiving base has a water inlet groove formed at the position opposite to the lowest water drop point of the refrigerant pipe assembly. The water inlet groove is connected to the interior of the water receiving base. At the same time, water-blocking ribs are formed on the outer periphery of the water inlet groove.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the technical effects that this utility model can achieve are as follows:

[0016] The piping fixing structure of this utility model has a fixing rubber fixed to the air conditioner body panel by a connecting bracket. The fixing rubber has a vertical pipe clamping groove to connect to the air conditioner refrigerant pipe assembly. The refrigerant pipe assembly enters the pipe clamping groove from the guide notch and is clamped by the fixing rubber, thereby fixing the refrigerant pipe assembly to the air conditioner body. At the same time, the condensate generated on the outer wall of the refrigerant pipe assembly, especially the condensate generated above the fixing rubber, can flow down along the refrigerant pipe assembly with the help of the guide notch, preventing the condensate from flowing turbulently at the top of the fixing rubber and falling outside the unit.

[0017] The piping fixing structure of this utility model features a partial downward design on the inner side of the top of the fixing rubber, which forms a barrier around the top of the fixing rubber. The downward area within the barrier can temporarily store water, ensuring that the condensate on the outer wall of the refrigerant pipe assembly above the fixing rubber will not flow erratically and can only flow down the refrigerant pipe assembly from the guide notch.

[0018] In this invention, the condensate on the outer wall of the refrigerant pipe assembly flows downwards along the pipe body and falls freely at the lowest point of the pipe body into a water inlet channel that is connected to the interior of the water receiving base. Furthermore, water-blocking ribs are formed on the outer periphery of the water inlet channel to prevent condensate from flowing turbulently and to ensure that the condensate flows into the interior of the water receiving base from the water inlet channel, preventing condensate from flowing outside the unit and affecting the user experience.

[0028] 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. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a piping fixing structure, including a fixing rubber 1 and a connecting bracket 2. The fixing rubber 1 is attached to the body panel 3 of the air conditioner. A vertical pipe clamping groove 11 is formed on the fixing rubber 1 to connect to the refrigerant pipe assembly 4 of the air conditioner. The refrigerant pipe assembly 4 includes an outlet pipe 41 and an inlet pipe 42. An open guide notch 12 is formed near the body panel 3 in the pipe clamping groove 11. The connecting bracket 2 includes an envelope section 21 and connecting ears 22 disposed at both ends of the envelope section 21. The connecting bracket 2 presses the fixing rubber 1 onto the body panel 3 through the envelope section 21 and connects the fixing rubber 1 to the body panel 3 through the connecting ears 22. Specifically, the connecting ears 22 are screwed onto the body panel 3.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the fixing rubber 1 near the tube groove 11 is lowered, so that the outer periphery of the top of the fixing rubber 1 forms a barrier 13, so as to collect the condensate on the outer wall of the refrigerant pipe assembly 4 and introduce it into the guide notch 12.

[0031] Furthermore, there is no barrier 13 on one side of the fixed rubber 1 that is attached to the machine body panel 3.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide notch 12 has a wider outer channel and a narrower inner channel, and a chamfer 17 can also be provided at the guide notch 12 to better facilitate production and installation and improve production efficiency.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a concave ring 14 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing rubber 1, which is inserted into the envelope segment 21, to ensure the relative fixed relationship between the fixing rubber 1 and the connecting bracket 2.

[0034] Furthermore, positioning protrusions 15 are formed on the two opposing surfaces of the fixing rubber 1 and the machine body panel 3. Correspondingly, positioning grooves 23 that mate with the positioning protrusions 15 are formed on the connecting bracket 2. The positioning protrusions 15 fit perfectly into the positioning grooves 23 of the connecting bracket 2. This design structure can prevent the connecting bracket 2 from falling off the fixing rubber 1 when it is fixed, thus affecting production operations.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a wire-locking groove 16 is formed on the side of the fixing rubber 1 away from the machine body panel 3. The wire-locking groove 16 can prevent the wire harness from being not fixed, which would affect the installation and fixation of the connecting bracket 2, so as to facilitate production installation and improve production efficiency.

[0036] In the embodiments of this utility model, the body panel 3 is composed of one or two parts spliced ​​together. The body panel 3 can be made of plastic or sheet metal, and the specific quantity and material are not limited.

[0037] Another aspect of this utility model provides a split portable air conditioner, including an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit and / or the outdoor unit are equipped with the above-mentioned piping fixing structure. The bottom of the indoor unit and / or the outdoor unit where the piping fixing structure is located is equipped with a water receiving tray 5 to receive condensate falling from the refrigerant pipe group 4. After the condensate enters the interior of the water receiving tray 5, it is pumped out of the unit by a water pump.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the vertical refrigerant pipe assembly 4 passes through the piping fixing structure and then bends into the body of the indoor unit and / or outdoor unit. The bend of the refrigerant pipe assembly 4 forms the lowest water drop point of the refrigerant pipe assembly 4. A water inlet trough 51 is formed at the position opposite to the lowest water drop point of the refrigerant pipe assembly 4. The water inlet trough 51 is connected to the interior of the water inlet trough 5. At the same time, a water baffle rib 52 is formed on the outer periphery of the water inlet trough 51.

[0039] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
