Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and particularly to outdoor air conditioning units and air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner consists of an outdoor unit (referred to as the outdoor unit) and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit via refrigerant pipes, allowing the refrigerant to circulate between the outdoor and indoor units.

[0003] The outdoor unit of an air conditioner includes a housing assembly with a fan chamber and a compressor chamber, separated by a partition. The compressor chamber houses the compressor, valve assembly, electrical components, etc. The valve assembly includes valves and valve mounting plates. The valve mounting plates are used to install the valves, which are used to connect to refrigerant pipes. The electrical components include electronic control devices, terminals, and terminal mounting plates. The terminal mounting plates are used to install terminals, which are connected to the electronic control devices via cables.

[0004] In related technologies, the valve mounting plate and the terminal mounting plate are arranged separately, and the two are located in different areas of the compressor cavity. This not only leads to high structural complexity of the outdoor unit, but also makes the installation and maintenance of valve components and electrical components more inconvenient, and results in higher cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this application provides an outdoor air conditioning unit and an air conditioner, which can solve the technical problems existing in the related technologies.

[0006] Specifically, the following technical solutions are included: On one hand, an outdoor unit for an air conditioner is provided, the outdoor unit for an air conditioner includes a housing assembly, the housing assembly includes a compressor cavity and a fan cavity separated by a partition, the compressor cavity contains a compressor, valves, terminals, electrical control devices and an integrated mounting plate; The integrated mounting plate is located between the compressor and the electronic control device, and the plate surface of the integrated mounting plate faces the first front panel of the housing assembly. The two sides of the integrated mounting plate are respectively connected to the first side panel and the middle partition of the housing assembly. The first front panel is the panel of the housing assembly for covering the front opening of the compressor cavity, and the first side panel is the side panel of the housing assembly away from the fan cavity. The valve and the terminal are respectively installed to different areas of the surface of the integrated mounting plate facing the first front panel. The terminal is also electrically connected to the electronic control device via a cable, and the valve is also connected to a refrigerant pipeline.

[0007] The outdoor unit provided in this application embodiment features an integrated mounting plate that combines a terminal mounting plate and a valve mounting plate. This allows for the simultaneous installation of terminals and valves in different areas, reducing the number of components, simplifying the structure of the outdoor unit, and minimizing material input and assembly steps, thereby reducing costs. Furthermore, the integrated mounting plate faces the first front panel of the housing assembly, with valves and terminals mounted on the surface of the integrated mounting plate facing the first front panel. This allows for simultaneous exposure of valves and terminals by opening the first front panel of the housing assembly, facilitating simultaneous electrical wiring and valve operation in that area, thus improving the ease of installation and maintenance of related components and increasing operational efficiency.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the integrated mounting plate includes a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion distributed along a first direction, wherein the first direction is the distribution direction of the partition plate and the first side plate; the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are used to install the valve and the terminal, thereby facilitating the partitioned installation of the valve and the terminal.

[0009] In some possible implementations, a bend is provided between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion.

[0010] The first and second mounting sections are connected by a bending section, allowing them to bend relative to each other. This design maximizes the use of the internal space of the frame (especially when the internal space is irregular), enabling terminals and valves to be rationally distributed within a limited space. This avoids space waste caused by unreasonable component layout, reducing the overall size of the outdoor unit and making its structure more compact. Furthermore, it allows for more precise design of the terminal and valve mounting areas on the integrated mounting plate, improving installation efficiency.

[0011] To accommodate the bending arrangement of the integrated mounting plate, one option is that the first mounting part is arranged at an angle relative to the first front panel, and the second mounting part is arranged parallel to the first front panel.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the terminal includes a high-voltage terminal and a low-voltage terminal, the high-voltage terminal being mounted to the first mounting portion, and the low-voltage terminal and the valve being connected to the second mounting portion.

[0013] High-voltage terminals generate strong electromagnetic radiation and voltage fluctuations during operation, while low-voltage terminals transmit sensitive signals with low voltage and small current. By installing high-voltage and low-voltage terminals in separate mounting locations, and increasing the physical distance between them through bending, electromagnetic interference between high-voltage and low-voltage signals can be significantly reduced, preventing signal distortion in low-voltage signals. This also helps to reduce potential electrical safety hazards.

[0014] In addition, the low-voltage terminals include terminals for controlling valves. By connecting both the low-voltage terminals and the valves to the second mounting part, it is also beneficial to shorten the control signal path and improve the valve response speed.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the integrated mounting plate has a first ear plate and a second ear plate on each side; one of the first ear plate and the second ear plate is connected to the first side plate, and the other is connected to the middle partition plate.

[0016] By further arranging the first and second ear plates to connect the integrated mounting plate with the housing assembly, at least the following advantages are achieved: strengthening the connection between the integrated mounting plate and the frame, improving the overall structural stability; simplifying the assembly process, reducing installation difficulty and the risk of incorrect installation; adapting to the internal space of the frame, optimizing the overall layout rationality; and facilitating later maintenance and component replacement.

[0017] In some possible implementations, both the first ear plate and the second ear plate are bent, one of the first ear plate and the second ear plate is detachably connected to the inner wall of the first side plate facing the compressor cavity, and the other is detachably connected to the inner wall of the middle partition plate facing the compressor cavity.

[0018] The above solution achieves two advantages: First, the connection between the integrated mounting plate and the housing assembly is located on the inner wall of the compressor cavity, preventing the installation of the integrated mounting plate from interfering with the installation of the first front panel. Second, the integrated mounting plate is detachably connected to the first side panel and the central partition, which improves maintenance efficiency and reduces operating costs.

[0019] In some possible implementations, the integrated mounting plate has a positioning structure by which the valve is positioned.

[0020] Based on the positioning structure, valve installation accuracy is ensured, while the assembly process is simplified and work efficiency is improved.

[0021] In some possible implementations, the positioning structure is a positioning groove with an opening formed at one end of the integrated mounting plate near the compressor; The valve has connecting lugs on both sides, which are connected to the plates on both sides of the positioning structure of the integrated mounting plate via fasteners. This method has the advantages of convenient assembly and disassembly, and strong connection reliability.

[0022] In some possible implementations, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a cable clamping plate connected to the integrated mounting plate for clamping cables.

[0023] The cable clamp can effectively press the cable, making the cable more securely fixed on the integrated mounting plate. This prevents the cable from becoming loose due to shaking or pulling, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical connection and facilitating the normal operation of the refrigeration cycle device.

[0024] In some possible implementations, the housing assembly further includes a second front panel for covering the front opening of the fan cavity, the second front panel being fixedly connected to the central partition; The first front panel covers the connection position between the second front panel and the middle partition, and / or, the two sides of the first front panel are respectively inserted and connected to the second front panel and the first side panel.

[0025] The first front panel covers the connection between the second front panel and the middle partition. The first front panel, the second front panel and the middle partition are connected by a plug-in joint. The plug-in structure can be hidden inside the first front panel, so that the first front panel can be installed without exposed bolts, making the positive electrode shape more neat and beautiful.

[0026] On the other hand, an air conditioner is provided, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit as described above, wherein the outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit via the refrigerant pipe. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] An air conditioner consists of an outdoor unit (referred to as the outdoor unit) and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit via refrigerant pipes, allowing the refrigerant to circulate between the outdoor and indoor units.

[0035] An outdoor unit for an air conditioner includes a housing assembly having a fan chamber and a compressor chamber, which are separated by a partition.

[0036] Specifically, the housing assembly of the air conditioner outdoor unit includes a top cover, a bottom plate, and a first front panel, a second front panel, a back panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel located between the top cover and the bottom plate. The first and second side panels are located on the left and right sides of the housing assembly, respectively. The first and second front panels are spaced apart along the left-right direction of the housing assembly. The first front panel covers the compressor cavity (commonly referred to as the small panel), and the second front panel covers the fan cavity (commonly referred to as the large panel). The back panel is spaced apart from the first and second front panels along the front-rear direction of the housing assembly.

[0037] The compressor chamber contains a compressor, valve assembly, electrical components, etc. The valve assembly includes valves and valve mounting plates. The valve mounting plates are used to install valves, and valves are used to connect to refrigerant pipes. The electrical components include electronic control devices, terminals, and terminal mounting plates. The terminal mounting plates are used to install terminals, and the terminals are connected to the electronic control devices via cables.

[0038] Currently, the valve mounting plate and terminal mounting plate are arranged separately, located in different areas of the compressor cavity. For example, the valve mounting plate is located in the front area of ​​the compressor cavity, while the terminal mounting plate is located in the side area of ​​the compressor cavity away from the fan cavity. This not only leads to high structural complexity of the outdoor unit, but also makes the installation and maintenance of valve components and electrical components inconvenient (for example, when operating the valve, the corresponding front panel needs to be opened, and when wiring the electrical components, the corresponding side panel needs to be opened), resulting in high cost.

[0039] In view of the technical problems involved in the related technologies, the first aspect of the present application provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, which uses an improved integrated mounting plate 600 to integrate the valve mounting plate and the terminal mounting plate in one piece to solve the technical problems existing in the related technologies.

[0040] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes a housing assembly 100, which includes a compressor chamber 101 and a fan chamber 102 separated by a partition 11. The compressor chamber 101 contains a compressor 200, a valve 300, a terminal 400, an electronic control device 500, and an integrated mounting plate 600.

[0041] The integrated mounting plate 600 is located between the compressor 200 and the electronic control device 500, and the plate surface of the integrated mounting plate 600 faces the first front panel 12 of the housing assembly 100. The two sides of the integrated mounting plate 600 are respectively connected to the first side plate 13 and the middle partition 11 of the housing assembly 100.

[0042] The first front panel 12 is a panel of the housing assembly 100 that covers the front opening of the compressor cavity 101, and the first side panel 13 is a side panel of the housing assembly 100 away from the fan cavity 102. The valve 300 and terminal 400 are respectively mounted to different areas of the integrated mounting plate 600 facing the first front panel 12. The terminal 400 is also electrically connected to the electronic control device 500 via a cable, and the valve 300 is also connected to a refrigerant pipe.

[0043] The outdoor unit provided in this application embodiment integrates a terminal mounting plate 600 and a valve mounting plate, allowing for the simultaneous installation of terminals 400 and valves 300 in different areas. This not only reduces the number of installation components and simplifies the structure of the outdoor unit, but also reduces material input and assembly processes, thereby lowering costs. Furthermore, the integrated mounting plate 600 is positioned facing the first front panel 12 of the housing assembly 100, with the valves 300 and terminals 400 respectively mounted on the surface of the integrated mounting plate 600 facing the first front panel 12. Thus, by opening the first front panel 12 of the housing assembly 100, both the valves 300 and terminals 400 can be exposed simultaneously, facilitating simultaneous electrical wiring and valve operation in that area, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of installation and maintenance of related components.

[0044] In some examples, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 - Appendix Figure 6As shown, the integrated mounting plate 600 includes a first mounting portion 601 and a second mounting portion 603, which are distributed along a first direction, wherein the first direction is the distribution direction of the central partition 11 and the first side plate 13. The first mounting portion 601 and the second mounting portion 603 are used to mount the valve 300 and the terminal 400. This facilitates the partitioned installation of the valve 300 and the terminal 400 on the integrated mounting plate 600.

[0045] Further details are attached. Figure 3 - Appendix Figure 6 As shown, a bend 602 is provided between the first mounting portion 601 and the second mounting portion 603, that is, the first mounting portion 601, the bend 602 and the second mounting portion 603 are connected sequentially along the first direction.

[0046] The bending part 602 is bent and can be bent once or multiple times. Furthermore, the bending method can be a straight bend or a curved bend.

[0047] The first mounting section 601 and the second mounting section 603 are connected by a bending section 602, allowing them to be bent relative to each other. On one hand, this makes full use of the internal space of the frame (especially when the internal space is irregular), enabling the terminals 400 and valves 300 to be rationally distributed within a limited space, avoiding space waste caused by unreasonable component layout, and helping to reduce the overall size of the outdoor unit, making its structure more compact. On the other hand, it also allows for more precise design of the mounting areas for the terminals 400 and valves 300 on the integrated mounting plate 600, improving installation efficiency.

[0048] Both the first mounting part 601 and the second mounting part 603 can be designed as flat plates, or as plates with a certain degree of curvature, bending, or deformation, depending on the internal space of the compressor cavity 101.

[0049] The included angle between the first mounting part 601 and the second mounting part 603 can be greater than 90° and less than 180°, thereby ensuring a relatively flat mounting surface.

[0050] Furthermore, one of the first mounting portion 601 and the second mounting portion 603 may be arranged parallel to the first front panel 12, while the other may be arranged at an angle relative to the first front panel 12. For example, the first mounting portion 601 may be arranged at an angle relative to the first front panel 12, and the second mounting portion 603 may be arranged parallel to the first front panel 12.

[0051] The first mounting part 601 and the second mounting part 603 are used to mount the valve 300 and the terminal 400, wherein the valve 300 is mounted to at least a portion of the terminal 400 to different mounting parts.

[0052] In some examples, as shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, terminal 400 includes high-voltage terminal 400a and low-voltage terminal 400b. High-voltage terminal 400a is installed to the first mounting part 601, and low-voltage terminal 400b and valve 300 are installed to the second mounting part 603.

[0053] When the high-voltage terminal 400a is in operation, it generates strong electromagnetic radiation and voltage fluctuations, while the low-voltage terminal 400b transmits sensitive signals with low voltage and small current. By installing the high-voltage terminal 400a and the low-voltage terminal 400b in two different mounting locations, and increasing the physical distance between them through the bending part 602, electromagnetic interference between the high-voltage and low-voltage signals can be significantly reduced, avoiding distortion of the low-voltage signal. This also helps to reduce potential electrical safety hazards.

[0054] In addition, the low-voltage terminal 400b contains a terminal 400 for controlling the valve 300. By connecting both the low-voltage terminal 400b and the valve 300 to the second mounting part 603, it is also beneficial to shorten the control signal path and improve the response speed of the valve 300.

[0055] In some examples, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 - Appendix Figure 6 As shown, the integrated mounting plate 600 has a first ear plate 604 and a second ear plate 605 on both sides; one of the first ear plate 604 and the second ear plate 605 is connected to the first side plate 13, and the other is connected to the middle partition plate 11.

[0056] By further arranging the first ear plate 604 and the second ear plate 605, the connection between the integrated mounting plate 600 and the housing assembly 100 is realized, which has at least the following advantages: strengthening the connection strength between the integrated mounting plate 600 and the frame, improving the overall structural stability; simplifying the assembly process, reducing the installation difficulty and the risk of incorrect installation; adapting to the internal space of the frame, optimizing the overall layout rationality; and facilitating later maintenance and component replacement.

[0057] At least one of the first ear plate 604 and the second ear plate 605 can be a straight plate structure or a bent plate structure, depending on the actual needs. See some examples. Figure 5 Both the first ear plate 604 and the second ear plate 605 are bent. One of the first ear plate 604 and the second ear plate 605 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the first side plate 13 facing the compressor cavity 101, and the other is detachably connected to the inner wall of the middle partition plate 11 facing the compressor cavity 101.

[0058] Through the above solution, on the one hand, the connection between the integrated mounting plate 600 and the housing assembly 100 is located on the inner wall of the compressor cavity 101, which can avoid the installation of the integrated mounting plate 600 interfering with the installation of the first front panel 12. On the other hand, the integrated mounting plate 600 is detachably connected to the first side plate 13 and the middle partition 11, which facilitates improved maintenance efficiency and reduced operating costs.

[0059] Some applicable detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, screw connections, snap-fit ​​connections, welding connections, and adhesive connections. In some examples, one of the first ear plate 604 and the second ear plate 605 is screwed to the first side plate 13, and the other is screwed to the middle partition plate 11.

[0060] Screw connections not only offer the advantages of high connection strength and stability, but also adapt to the vibration environment of outdoor units, avoiding a reduction in lifespan due to vibration stress.

[0061] It should be noted that the first ear plate 604 and the second ear plate 605 can be arranged separately from the integrated mounting plate 600, that is, the two are connected to the integrated mounting plate 600 through an additional connection process.

[0062] The first ear plate 604 and the second ear plate 605 can also be manufactured with the integrated mounting plate 600 using an integral molding process, which results in a more reliable mounting plate structure and simplifies the operation process.

[0063] In this embodiment, the terminal 400, valve 300, etc., can be installed onto the integrated mounting plate 600 via a detachable connection method, such as a screw connection. For the valve 300, due to its relatively heavy weight, to improve installation efficiency, in this embodiment, as shown in the attached... Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the integrated mounting plate 600 has a positioning structure 606, and the valve 300 is positioned by the positioning structure 606.

[0064] Based on the positioning structure 606, the installation accuracy of valve 300 is guaranteed, while the assembly process is simplified and the operation efficiency is improved.

[0065] For example, the positioning structure 606 is a positioning groove with an opening formed at the end (i.e., the lower end) of the integrated mounting plate 600 facing the compressor 200. The shape of the positioning groove is adapted to the position to be positioned of the valve 300. For example, the position to be positioned of the valve 300 can be its cylindrical shell, and the valve 300 can enter the positioning groove through the opening, thereby achieving effective positioning of the valve 300 in the first direction based on the positioning groove.

[0066] See Figure 4The valve 300 has connecting lugs 301 on both sides. After the valve 300 is positioned, the connecting lugs 301 on both sides of the valve 300 are fixedly connected to the plates of the integrated mounting plate 600 located on both sides of the positioning structure 606 by fasteners such as screws and anchors. This method has the advantages of convenient assembly and disassembly and strong connection reliability.

[0067] In some examples, for any of the aforementioned air conditioner outdoor units, as shown in the attached... Figure 4 As shown, the outdoor unit also includes a cable clamping plate 700, which is connected to the integrated mounting plate 600 for clamping cables.

[0068] The wire clamp 700 can effectively press the cable, making the cable more securely fixed on the integrated mounting plate 600. This prevents the cable from becoming loose due to shaking or pulling, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical connection and facilitating the normal operation of the refrigeration cycle device.

[0069] The wire clamp 700 can be detachably connected to the integrated mounting plate 600, for example, by using screws, to facilitate disassembly and maintenance.

[0070] Furthermore, both the wire clamp 700 and the high-voltage terminal 400a are connected to the first mounting part 601. This is because the cable connected to the high-voltage terminal 400a has the characteristics of high voltage, large current and thick wire diameter. By setting the wire clamp 700 and the high-voltage terminal 400a together in the first mounting part 601, the high-voltage cable can be fixed nearby and centrally managed, reducing safety hazards.

[0071] When the pressure plate 700 and the high-voltage terminal 400a are both connected to the first mounting part 601, and the valve 300 and the low-voltage terminal 400b are both connected to the second mounting part 603, the high-voltage terminal 400a and the low-voltage terminal 400b can be located on the side of the integrated mounting plate 600 away from the panel, and the valve 300 and the pressure plate 700 can be located on the side of the integrated mounting plate 600 closer to the panel.

[0072] For any of the aforementioned outdoor air conditioning units, in some examples, such as those shown in the attached document... Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the housing assembly 100 also includes a second front panel 14, which covers the front opening of the fan cavity 102. The second front panel 14 is fixedly connected to the middle partition 11. The first front panel 12 covers the connection position between the second front panel 14 and the middle partition 11, and / or, the two sides of the first front panel 12 are respectively inserted and connected to the second front panel 14 and the first side panel 13.

[0073] For example, a slot is provided at the connection position between the second front panel 14 and the first side panel 13, and a plug that matches the slot is provided at the corresponding position of the first front panel 12.

[0074] The first front panel 12 covers the connection between the second front panel 14 and the middle partition 11. The first front panel 12, the second front panel 14 and the middle partition 11 are connected by a plug-in joint. The plug-in structure can be hidden inside the first front panel 12, so that the first front panel 12 is installed without exposed bolts, making the positive electrode shape more neat and beautiful.

[0075] In summary, the air conditioner outdoor unit provided in this embodiment reduces the number of independent mounting plates by using an integrated mounting plate 600, thus saving space in the compressor chamber 101 and optimizing the internal layout of the outdoor unit. Furthermore, the terminals 400 and valves 300 are both located on the surface of the integrated mounting plate 600 facing the first front panel 12, concentrating electrical operation and valve 300 operation in the same area, improving installation and maintenance efficiency. In addition, the above solutions also help reduce the number of parts and assembly steps, thereby achieving cost reduction.

[0076] A second aspect of this application provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, as provided in the first aspect of this application, wherein the outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit via a refrigerant pipe.

[0077] The air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has all the advantages brought by the outdoor unit described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] The above description is only for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of this application, and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
