[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a throttling component 10, which is installed in an air conditioner. The throttling component 10 includes a first connecting pipe 200, a throttling element 100, and a connecting plate 400. The first connecting pipe 200 is installed in the air conditioner, and the throttling element 100 is connected to one end of the first connecting pipe 200. The connecting plate 400 has a hanging part 410 with an opening facing a first direction. The connecting plate 400 is hung in the air conditioner through the hanging part 410. The connecting plate 400 also has a receiving groove 420 with an opening facing a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are opposite directions. The throttling element 100 is hung in the receiving groove 420. The hanging part 410 and the receiving groove 420 are both arranged along the length direction of the connecting plate 400.

[0031] It should be noted that the throttling device 100 is generally an expansion valve or an electronic expansion valve; the first connecting pipe 200 is a refrigerant delivery pipe connected to the throttling device 100; the connecting plate 400 is generally a rubber block or a block structure made of other elastic materials, such as silicone.

[0032] It is understandable that the throttling component 10 supports the throttling component 100 by hanging the connecting plate 400 in the air conditioner and hanging the throttling component 100 on the connecting plate 400, thereby preventing the throttling component 100 from sinking due to vibration.

[0033] Furthermore, when the connecting plate 400 is made of an elastic material such as a rubber block or a silicone block, it can buffer the impact of the vibration of the throttling device 100 on the connection stability between the air conditioner and the connecting plate 400.

[0034] In some embodiments, the mounting part 410 is also a groove-shaped structure, and both it and the receiving groove 420 penetrate the connecting plate 400 along the thickness direction of the connecting plate 400.

[0035] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 400 is arranged along the height direction of the air conditioner, and the hanging part 410 and the receiving groove 420 are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 400.

[0036] It should be noted that the connecting plate 400 is set along the height direction of the air conditioner, that is, the length direction of the connecting plate 400 is parallel or nearly parallel to the height direction of the air conditioner, that is, the connecting plate 400 is inclined or perpendicular to the bottom wall of the air conditioner; wherein, the aforementioned hanging part 410 and receiving groove 420 are respectively set on both sides of the connecting plate 400, and the two sides mean both sides along the width direction of the connecting plate 400.

[0037] It is understandable that placing the mounting part 410 and the receiving groove 420 on opposite sides of the connecting plate 400 facilitates the connection of the connecting plate 400 with two different components.

[0038] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 400 is arranged perpendicularly to the bottom wall of the air conditioner, and the angle between the throttling device 100 and the bottom wall of the air conditioner is greater than or equal to 0° and less than 45°.

[0039] It should be noted that since the connecting plate 400 is set perpendicular to the bottom wall, and the angle between the throttling device 100 and the bottom wall of the air conditioner is greater than or equal to 0° and less than 45°, the throttling device 100 is set horizontally or tilted to the horizontal, so that the throttling device 100 is set horizontally on the connecting plate 400. The connecting plate 400 is perpendicular to the bottom wall of the air conditioner, so the connecting plate 400 can support the throttling device 100 set on it and prevent it from sinking.

[0040] For example, the angle between the throttling device 100 and the bottom wall of the air conditioner is 0°, thereby making the throttling device 100 parallel to the bottom wall, so that the connecting plate 400 provides overall support for the electronic expansion valve and prevents it from sinking.

[0041] Understandably, in order to prevent the throttling device 100 from vibrating and sinking or sliding down, the angle between the throttling device 100 and the bottom wall is limited to less than 45°, thereby making the throttling device 100 biased towards the horizontal direction and avoiding the angle exceeding 45° and biased towards the vertical direction, thus reducing the risk of sinking.

[0042] It should be noted that the bottom wall of the aforementioned air conditioner is generally the bottom wall of the outdoor unit, but it can also be the bottom wall of the integrated unit or the indoor unit.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first connecting pipe 200 includes a first pipe section 210 and a second pipe section 220 connected in sequence. The second pipe section 220 is arranged perpendicularly to the bottom wall of the air conditioner. The first pipe section 210 and the second pipe section 220 have an angle between them, which is greater than 45° and less than or equal to 90°. The throttling device 100 is connected to one end of the first pipe section 210.

[0044] It should be noted that when the angle between the first pipe section 210 and the second pipe section 220 is 90°, the angle between the throttling device 100 and the bottom wall is 0°, thus it is set in a horizontal direction; when the angle between the first pipe section 210 and the second pipe section 220 is greater than 45° and less than or equal to 90°, the angle between the throttling device 100 and the bottom wall is greater than or equal to 0° and less than 45°.

[0045] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is provided with a plurality of support parts, which are spaced apart from each other along the height direction of the air conditioner; the connecting plate 400 is provided with a plurality of hanging parts 410, which are spaced apart from each other along the length direction of the connecting plate 400, and each hanging part 410 is hung on a support part.

[0046] It should be noted that multiple support parts can be directly installed on the side wall of the air conditioner (such as on the side wall of the outdoor unit), or they can be installed on components in the air conditioner, such as on the heat exchanger or compressor, and the connecting plate 400 can be supported by other components.

[0047] In some embodiments, the throttling assembly 10 further includes a low-pressure valve pipe 300, which includes a main pipe 310 and a plurality of branch pipes 320. The plurality of branch pipes 320 are spaced apart from each other along the length of the main pipe 310 and communicate with the main pipe 310. Each attachment 410 is attached to a branch pipe 320.

[0048] Among them, branch pipe 320 is the support part, and low-pressure valve pipe 300 is connected to the outlet of heat exchanger or compressor, and is supported by connecting plate 400.

[0049] In some embodiments, the throttling assembly 10 further includes a flow divider 500, a plurality of first connecting pipes 200 and a plurality of throttling elements 100, wherein the first connecting pipes 200 are all connected to the flow divider 500, and each throttling element 100 is correspondingly connected to one of the first connecting pipes 200; the connecting plate 400 has a plurality of receiving grooves 420, the plurality of receiving grooves 420 are spaced apart from each other along the length direction of the connecting plate 400, and each throttling element 100 is hung in one receiving groove 420.

[0050] It should be noted that the refrigerant can be diverted into multiple first connecting pipes 200 by the distributor 500, or the refrigerant in multiple first connecting pipes 200 can be merged by the distributor 500; when multiple throttling elements 100 are all set on the connecting plate 400, the multiple throttling elements 100 are set at intervals to ensure the vibration buffering effect of the connecting plate 400.

[0051] It is understandable that by connecting multiple throttling elements 100 and multiple receiving grooves 420 to each other, the throttling on the first connecting pipe 200 and the connecting plate 400 have multiple connection points, thereby improving the connection stability between the two and preventing them from separating due to vibration.

[0052] In some embodiments, the throttling element 100 is snapped into the receiving groove 420.

[0053] For example, the width of the throttling element 100 is the same as or slightly larger than the width of the receiving groove 420, so that the two can be engaged to ensure the connection stability between the throttling element 100 and the connecting plate 400.

[0054] In some embodiments, the throttling assembly 10 further includes a fastener for fastening the connecting plate 400 and the throttling assembly 100.

[0055] It should be noted that the binding components are generally flexible components such as cable ties, ropes, and straps. By binding the throttling component 100 to the connecting plate 400, the connection stability between the connecting plate 400 and the throttling component 100 is further improved.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 400 is provided with a fixing hole 430, and the fixing hole 430 is connected to the throttling element 100 by a strap, thereby improving the connection stability between the throttling element 100 and the connecting plate 400.

[0057] In some embodiments, a limiting portion is sleeved on the throttling member 100, and the limiting portion abuts against the side of the connecting plate 400 away from the first connecting pipe 200, thereby locking part of the throttling member 100 to one side of the connecting plate 400 and preventing the throttling member 100 from disengaging.

[0058] It should be noted that the limiting part and the throttling element 100 are connected by either a threaded connection or a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0059] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an outdoor unit, which includes the above-mentioned throttling component 10. Since the outdoor unit includes the above-mentioned throttling component 10, that is, includes some or all of the above-mentioned throttling component 10 embodiments, the air conditioner has the beneficial effects of some or all of the above-mentioned throttling component 10 embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an air conditioner that includes the above-mentioned throttling component 10. Since the air conditioner has the above-mentioned throttling component 10, that is, includes some or all of the above-mentioned throttling component 10 embodiments, the corresponding air conditioner has the beneficial effects of some or all of the above-mentioned throttling component 10 embodiments.

[0061] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings under the application concept of the present utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
