[0011] In some possible implementations, the housing has a groove; The housing assembly further includes a connector that passes through the bottom of the groove and connects to the second side portion, which is fitted to the outer shell.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the air conditioner further includes an evaporator, which is placed at an angle within the air outlet duct and located on the side of the support plate away from the air inlet duct. The support plate is located on the third side near the evaporator, opposite to the evaporator and parallel to the surface of the evaporator, and has a first gap with the evaporator.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] With the development of technology, ducted air conditioners have gradually been widely used.

[0028] In ducted air conditioners, multiple fan assemblies are often installed to increase the air intake and exhaust volume.

[0029] However, in the air outlet duct of a ducted air conditioner, the air flowing out of the outlets of multiple fan components will interfere with each other, thus generating turbulence, causing the casing of the ducted air conditioner to vibrate significantly, which in turn increases the noise generated by the ducted air conditioner.

[0030] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides an air conditioner. For example... Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner includes a housing assembly 1, multiple fan assemblies 2, and at least one support plate 3. The housing assembly 1 has an air inlet channel 101 and an air outlet channel 102 inside. The multiple fan assemblies 2 are spaced apart within the air inlet channel 101, and the air outlets 201 of the multiple fan assemblies 2 face the air outlet channel 102. At least one support plate 3 is arranged within the air outlet channel 102 and connected to the housing assembly 1; a support plate 3 is provided between the air outlets 201 of two adjacent fan assemblies 2.

[0031] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, by setting the support plate 3 between the air outlets 201 of two adjacent fan components 2, the air flowing out of the air outlets 201 of each fan component 2 can be blocked in the air outlet channel 102, so as to avoid the air flowing out of the air outlets 201 of multiple fan components 2 interfering with each other and generating turbulence in the air outlet channel 102, thereby reducing the vibration of the air conditioner housing component 1 and thus reducing the noise generated by the air conditioner.

[0032] Optionally, the air conditioner provided in this embodiment is a ducted air conditioner.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner also includes an evaporator 4, which is placed at an angle in the air outlet duct 102 and is located on the side of the support plate 3 away from the air inlet duct 101.

[0034] The refrigerant passage inside the evaporator 4 can be connected to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. When the air flowing out of the air outlet 201 of the multiple fan components 2 enters the ventilation passage, it will flow through the evaporator 4 and exchange heat with the refrigerant inside the evaporator 4, thereby heating or cooling the air flowing out.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 1 includes an outer shell 11 and a partition 12. An air inlet channel 101 and an air outlet channel 102 are formed within the outer shell 11. The partition 12 is located between the air inlet channel 101 and the air outlet channel 102 and is connected to the outer shell 11. The partition 12 has multiple connecting ports 121, which are connected one-to-one with the air outlets 201 of multiple fan assemblies 2. A support plate 3 is connected to both the outer shell 11 and the partition 12.

[0036] The air outlet duct 102 will form a large cavity inside the housing 11. If the part of the housing 11 located outside the ventilation duct is not restrained, this part of the housing 11 is prone to large deformation when subjected to external force (such as stepping or squeezing), thereby affecting the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0037] In this embodiment, the support plate 3 is connected to the outer shell 11 and the middle partition 12 respectively, which can constrain the part of the outer shell 11 located outside the ventilation channel to support the part of the outer shell 11, thereby reducing the possibility of large deformation of the part of the outer shell 11 when subjected to external force.

[0038] Optionally, the fan assembly 2 includes a volute and an impeller. The air outlet 201 of the fan assembly 2 is the air outlet 201 of the volute. The volute is connected to the middle partition 12. The air outlet 201 is opposite to the connecting port 121, so that the volute of each fan assembly 2 can discharge air through each connecting port 121.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the partition plate 12 has a first positioning part 1201 on the side near the air outlet duct 102, and the support plate 3 has a second positioning part 301 on the first side 3a near the partition plate 12 that is adapted to the first positioning part 1201.

[0040] Thus, when assembling the support plate 3 and the partition plate 12, the support plate 3 can be positioned by the cooperation of the first positioning part 1201 and the second positioning part 301, so as to ensure that the support plate 3 can be installed in the corresponding position, thereby improving the convenience of installation of the support plate 3.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the first positioning part 1201 and the second positioning part 301 is a positioning protrusion, and the other of the first positioning part 1201 and the second positioning part 301 is a positioning hole.

[0042] In this way, the positioning of the support plate 3 and the middle partition plate 12 can be achieved through a relatively simple structure, thereby reducing the cost of positioning the support plate 3.

[0043] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first side 3a of the support plate 3 near the partition 12 has a first flange structure 31, which is connected to the partition 12. The second side 3b of the support plate 3 adjacent to the first side 3a has a second flange structure 32, which is connected to the outer shell 11.

[0044] Thus, the first flange structure 31 enables the first side 3a of the support plate 3 to fit with the middle partition 12, and the second flange structure 32 enables the second side 3b of the support plate 3 to fit with the outer shell 11, thereby reducing the possibility of the support plate 3 tilting and making the support plate 3 more stably connected with the middle partition 12 and the outer shell 11.

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second positioning part 301 can be disposed on the first flange structure 31, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the second positioning part 301. In addition, the first flange structure 31 is also provided with a first connecting hole 302, which is used for bolts to pass through, so as to realize the connection between the first flange structure 31 and the support plate 3.

[0046] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second flange structure 32 is also provided with a second connecting hole 303, which is used for bolts to pass through in order to connect the second flange structure 32 with the outer shell 11.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first flange structure 31 protrudes toward the first surface of the support plate 3, and the second flange structure 32 protrudes toward the second surface of the support plate 3, with the second surface opposite to the first surface.

[0048] Thus, since the first flange structure 31 and the second flange structure 32 protrude toward different surfaces of the support plate 3 respectively, the first flange structure 31 and the second flange structure 32 can form a constraint on each other, thereby improving the torsional resistance of the support plate 3 and reducing the possibility of deformation of the support plate 3.

[0049] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 11 has a groove 111, and the housing assembly 1 further includes a connector that passes through the bottom of the groove 111 and is connected to a second side portion 3b, which fits against the housing 11.

[0050] Thus, the groove 111 can conceal the connector (such as the nut of a screw) between the outer casing 11 and the second side 3b, thereby improving the aesthetics of the outer casing 11.

[0051] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second side 3b of the support plate 3 is bent at the groove 111 to fit into part of the groove 111 in the housing 11.

[0052] Optionally, the housing assembly 1 also includes a rubber pad that fills the groove 111 to further improve the aesthetics of the housing assembly 1.

[0053] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the third side 3c of the support plate 3 near the evaporator 4 is opposite to the evaporator 4, parallel to the surface of the evaporator 4, and has a first gap with the evaporator 4.

[0054] Since the support plate 3 needs to play a supporting role, the structural strength of the support plate 3 is often large. If the evaporator 4 is in contact with the support plate 3, the support plate 3 is prone to collision with the evaporator 4 when the support plate 3 is subjected to external force, which will cause damage to the evaporator 4. The first gap between the third side 3c of the support plate 3 near the evaporator 4 and the evaporator 4 can reduce the possibility of the support plate 3 colliding with the evaporator 4, thereby reducing the possibility of the support plate 3 causing damage to the evaporator 4.

[0055] The phrase "the third side 3c has a first gap with the evaporator 4" means that there is a certain distance between the third side 3c and the evaporator 4, but this distance is small, forming a gap.

[0056] In some embodiments, the width of the first gap is 5mm to 10mm.

[0057] If the width of the first gap is less than 5mm, the first gap is too small, and the support plate 3 may collide with the evaporator 4 during the transportation or use of the air conditioner.

[0058] If the width of the first gap is greater than 10mm, the first gap is too large, and the air flowing out of the air outlet 201 of the multiple fan components 2 may generate turbulence between the support plate 3 and the evaporator 4, thereby causing noise.

[0059] Thus, by setting the width of the first gap to 5mm~10mm, the possibility of collision between the support plate 3 and the evaporator 4 can be reduced, while the possibility of turbulence in the air flowing out of the air outlets 201 of the multiple fan components 2 can also be reduced.

[0060] Optionally, the width of the first gap can be, for example, but not limited to, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm or 10mm, and the embodiments disclosed herein do not limit this.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner also includes an elastic pad 5, which is located between the third side 3c of the support plate 3 and the evaporator 4.

[0062] In this way, by setting an elastic pad 5 between the third side 3c and the evaporator 4, the first gap can be blocked, thereby reducing the possibility of turbulence in the air flowing out of the air outlet 201 of the multiple fan components 2 in the air outlet channel 102. Furthermore, since the elastic pad 5 is elastic, when the third side 3c of the support plate 3 approaches the evaporator 4 under the action of external force, the elastic pad 5 can form a buffer, thereby reducing the possibility of the evaporator 4 being bumped.

[0063] Optionally, the elastic pad 5 can be, for example, but not limited to, a sponge pad or a foam pad.

[0064] Combination Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one support plate 3 includes a first support plate 3001. The evaporator 4 includes a connected evaporator body 41 and a connecting assembly 42, the connecting assembly 42 being connected to the housing assembly 1, and the end of the connecting assembly 42 having a mating portion 421 extending toward the air inlet channel 101, the mating portion 421 being used to abut against the first support plate 3001.

[0065] Thus, during the installation of the evaporator 4, the first support plate 3001 can support the evaporator 4 to facilitate its installation. Furthermore, during the transportation of the air conditioner, the first support plate 3001 can limit the mating part 421, thereby preventing the evaporator 4 from colliding with the housing assembly 1 if it moves, thus reducing the possibility of damage to the evaporator 4.

[0066] Combination Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the connecting assembly 42 includes an end plate 422 and a crossbeam 423. The end plate 422 is located at the end of the evaporator body 41. The end plate 422 is connected to the shell assembly 1 and the crossbeam 423 respectively. The evaporator body 41 is connected to the crossbeam 423. The mating part 421 is provided on the end plate 422.

[0067] Before the air conditioner is installed, the connecting component 42 and the evaporator body 41 are pre-assembled to form the evaporator 4. During the installation of the air conditioner, the evaporator 4 is connected to the housing component 1.

[0068] Optionally, the mating part 71 is a hanging lug, and there is a second gap between the mating part 71 and the first support plate 3001. The second gap can prevent the mating part 71 from interfering with the first support plate 3001 during assembly, so as to facilitate the assembly of the air conditioner.

[0069] The phrase "there is a second gap between the mating part 71 and the first support plate 3001" means that there is a certain distance between the first support plate 3001 and the mating part 71, but this distance is small, forming a gap. Optionally, the width of the second gap can be 0.5mm to 2mm.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a water tray 6 having an inclined portion 61, which is inclinedly arranged inside the air outlet duct 102. The fourth side portion 3d of the support plate 3 near the inclined portion 61 is in contact with the inclined portion 61, and the fourth side portion 3d is adjacent to the third side portion 3c.

[0071] The inclined portion 61 of the drip tray 6 prevents condensate from accumulating on the side of the drip tray 6 near the ventilation channel, facilitating the collection and drainage of condensate. By placing the fourth side 3d of the support plate 3 near the inclined portion 61 in contact with the inclined portion 61, the drip tray 6 provides support for the support plate 3, thereby improving the stability of the support plate 3 in supporting the outer casing 11. Furthermore, since the fourth side 3d is in contact with the inclined portion 61, gaps between the fourth side 3d and the inclined portion 61 are avoided, preventing turbulence in the air flowing from the outlets 201 of the multiple fan assemblies 2 at the location between the fourth side 3d and the inclined portion 61, thus reducing the noise of the air conditioner.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one of the third side portion 3c and the fourth side portion 3d of the support plate 3 has an overlapping edge structure.

[0073] The overlapping edge structure on the third side 3c can passivate the third side 3c, thereby reducing the possibility of the third side 3c scratching the evaporator 4. Furthermore, when an elastic pad 5 is provided between the third side 3c and the evaporator 4, the connection between the elastic pad 5 and the third side 3c can be strengthened, making it more stable between the third side 3c and the evaporator 4.

[0074] The overlapping edge structure provided on the fourth side 3d enables the fourth side 3d to abut against the inclined part 61 more stably and reduces the possibility of the fourth side 3d scratching the inclined part 61.

[0075] Furthermore, by providing overlapping edge structures on the third side 3c and the fourth side 3d of the support plate 3, the structural strength of the third side 3c and the fourth side 3d can be improved, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the support plate 3.

[0076] Optionally, the support plate 3 is a sheet metal structure, and the overlapping edge structure is a bent edge of the sheet metal structure.

[0077] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the surface of the support plate 3 has a plurality of convex structures 33, which are arranged at intervals.

[0078] In this way, multiple protrusions can be used to increase constraints on the surface of the support plate 3, thereby improving the structural strength of the support plate 3 and reducing the possibility of bending of the support plate 3.

[0079] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple fan assemblies 2 are spaced apart along a first direction, and each fan assembly 2 has a support plate 3 on both sides of its air outlet 201 in the first direction.

[0080] In this way, the housing assembly 1 can be supported at various parts within the air outlet duct 102, thereby constraining multiple parts of the housing assembly 1 located outside the ventilation duct and providing support for multiple parts of the housing assembly 1, thereby reducing the possibility of the housing assembly 1 undergoing large deformation when subjected to external forces.

[0081] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the embodiments disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this disclosure are indicated by the appended claims.

[0082] It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
