[0046] Figure 1This is a first schematic structural diagram of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 7 This utility model provides a heat exchanger for an air conditioner. The heat exchanger includes a heat exchange section 100, a first tube sheet 200, a second tube sheet 300, and a third tube sheet 400.

[0047] The heat exchange section 100 has heat exchange tubes 110.

[0048] The first tube sheet 200 is arranged vertically and is located at one end of the heat exchange section 100.

[0049] The second tube sheet 300 is arranged vertically and is located at the other end of the heat exchange section 100.

[0050] The third tube sheet 400 is arranged vertically on the heat exchange section 100 and is located between the first tube sheet 200 and the second tube sheet 300.

[0051] In this embodiment, a first tube sheet 200 and a second tube sheet 300 are vertically arranged at both ends of the heat exchange section 100 to fix the ends of the heat exchange tubes 110 and form a basic support frame. A third tube sheet 400, also vertically arranged, is provided on the heat exchange section 100 located between the first tube sheet 200 and the second tube sheet 300, with at least a portion of the heat exchange tubes 110 passing through the third tube sheet 400. This allows the third tube sheet 400 to also fix the heat exchange section 100, effectively reducing the risk of deformation in the middle of the heat exchange tubes 110 and making the heat exchanger more securely fixed. This further improves the structural rigidity and vibration resistance of the entire heat exchanger, preventing collisions during transportation caused by insecure fixing, which could lead to fin collapse, copper tube damage, or refrigerant leakage.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the heat exchange tubes 110 are arranged in at least two layers along the horizontal direction.

[0053] The third tube sheet 400 is installed on the partial layer heat exchange tube 110.

[0054] In this embodiment, the heat exchange tubes 110 are arranged in at least two layers along the horizontal direction to form a multi-layer heat exchange structure to increase the heat exchange area. The third tube sheet 400 is not connected to each layer of heat exchange tubes 110, so as to ensure the structural strength of easily deformable parts while taking into account material saving and structural lightweighting, thus achieving a balance between cost and performance.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, at least two layers of heat exchange tubes 110 include a first layer of heat exchange tubes 111 and a second layer of heat exchange tubes 112.

[0056] The heat exchange section 100 is curved, so that one side surface of the heat exchange section 100 is a concave surface and the other side surface is a convex surface, and the first layer heat exchange tube 111 is located inside the second layer heat exchange tube 112.

[0057] The third tube sheet 400 is installed on at least the first layer of heat exchange tubes 111.

[0058] In this embodiment, each heat exchange tube 110 is bent, making the entire heat exchange section 100 curved. With the heat exchange section 100 in a curved shape, the inner first-layer heat exchange tube 111, due to its smaller radius of curvature, experiences greater compressive stress and is more prone to deformation. The third tube sheet 400 is configured to connect at least to the inner first-layer heat exchange tube 111, effectively improving the rigidity of the heat exchange section 100 and extending its service life.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat exchange section 100 includes: a first plate-shaped section 120, a second plate-shaped section 130, and a curved section 140.

[0060] The first plate-shaped portion 120 is arranged vertically, and the first tube plate 200 is disposed at one end of the first plate-shaped portion 120.

[0061] The second plate-shaped portion 130 is arranged vertically, and the second tube plate 300 is arranged at the other end of the second plate-shaped portion 130.

[0062] The curved portion 140 connects the first plate-shaped portion 120 and the second plate-shaped portion 130.

[0063] The third tube sheet 400 is disposed on the bend 140.

[0064] The ratio between the distance L1 between the third tube sheet 400 and the first tube sheet 200 and the distance L2 between the third tube sheet 400 and the second tube sheet 300 is 0.6 to 0.8.

[0065] In this embodiment, the heat exchange section 100 is designed to match the shape of the air duct in the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Its cross-sectional shape is typically asymmetrical, and the first plate-shaped portion 120 or the second plate-shaped portion 130 connected to the end of the bend 140 near the air inlet is relatively short. The ratio between the distance L1 between the third tube plate 400 and the first tube plate 200 and the distance L2 between the third tube plate 400 and the second tube plate 300 is between 0.6 and 0.8, allowing the third tube plate 400 to be positioned near the center of the bend 140. This further enhances the structural stability of the heat exchange section 100 and reduces deformation of the heat exchange section 100 under pressure or vibration.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the ratio between the distance H1 that the first plate-shaped portion 120 extends in the horizontal direction and the distance H2 that the second plate-shaped portion 130 extends in the horizontal direction is 0.45 to 0.7.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 120 is connected to one end of the curved portion 140 near the air inlet. When the ratio between the horizontal extension distance H1 of the first plate-shaped portion 120 and the horizontal extension distance H2 of the second plate-shaped portion 130 is less than 0.45, the first plate-shaped portion 120 is too short, which may result in insufficient structural rigidity and poor airflow guidance, affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. When the ratio is greater than 0.7, the lengths of the two plate-shaped portions are close, losing the advantage of adapting to specific installation spaces using an asymmetrical structure. By controlling the ratio between 0.45 and 0.7, a compact layout of the overall heat exchanger shape is successfully achieved while ensuring sufficient structural stability and effective guiding length for the first plate-shaped portion 120.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the curved portion 140 includes a first arc-shaped portion 141 and a second arc-shaped portion 142 that are connected to each other. The first arc-shaped portion 141 and the second arc-shaped portion 142 are coaxial and have the same radius.

[0069] The first arc-shaped portion 141 is connected to the first plate-shaped portion 120.

[0070] The second arc-shaped portion 142 is connected to the second plate-shaped portion 130.

[0071] The third tube sheet 400 is disposed at the connection between the first arc-shaped portion 141 and the second arc-shaped portion 142.

[0072] The ratio between the degree measure A1 of the central angle of the first arc portion 141 and the degree measure A2 of the central angle of the second arc portion 142 is 1 to 1.1.

[0073] In this embodiment, the third tube sheet 400 is disposed at the connection between the first arc-shaped portion 141 and the second arc-shaped portion 142. The ratio between the degree A1 of the central angle of the first arc-shaped portion 141 and the degree A2 of the central angle of the second arc-shaped portion 142 is limited to between 1 and 1.1, meaning that the curvature of the first arc-shaped portion 141 and the second arc-shaped portion 142 is almost identical. The approximately symmetrical structural design of the first arc-shaped portion 141 and the second arc-shaped portion 142 makes the internal stress distribution generated by bending more uniform, thereby improving the structural stability of the heat exchange section 100. Furthermore, the slightly larger design of the second arc-shaped portion 142 allows the third tube sheet 400 to be slightly closer to the second tube sheet 300, making the third tube sheet 400 closer to the centerline between the first tube sheet 200 and the second tube sheet 300. At the same time, it also allows for slight deviations during assembly, simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0074] Preferably, the ratio between the distance L1 between the third tube sheet 400 and the first tube sheet 200 and the distance L2 between the third tube sheet 400 and the second tube sheet 300 is 0.71.

[0075] Preferably, the ratio between the distance H1 that the first plate-shaped portion 120 extends in the horizontal direction and the distance H2 that the second plate-shaped portion 130 extends in the horizontal direction is 0.56.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a first connecting plate 410 is horizontally arranged at the upper end of the third tube sheet 400, and a second connecting plate 420 is horizontally arranged at the lower end. The first connecting plate 410 and the second connecting plate 420 are located on the same side of the third tube sheet 400.

[0077] In this embodiment, a first connecting plate 410 and a second connecting plate 420 extend horizontally from the upper and lower ends of the third tube plate 400, respectively, and these two connecting plates are located on the same side of the third tube plate 400, so that the third tube plate 400 can be conveniently fixedly connected to the bracket 500 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the connecting plates.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the second tube sheet 300 is provided with a hanging hole 310 and a third connecting plate 320. The third connecting plate 320 is horizontally arranged and located above the hanging hole 310. This allows the heat exchanger to be not only installed by limiting its position through the hanging hole 310 at the upper end of the second tube sheet 300, but also to be directly fixed to the bracket 500 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the threaded connection of the third connecting plate 320. This makes the positioning of the heat exchanger more stable and reliable, and also effectively reduces the displacement caused by its own weight or operating vibration.

[0079] This utility model embodiment provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a bracket 500 and a heat exchanger as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0080] The bracket 500 has an upper end 510, a lower end 520, and a connecting portion 530 that connects the upper end 510 and the lower end 520.

[0081] The heat exchanger is mounted on the support 500, and the upper end of the third tube sheet 400 is connected to the upper end 510. The lower end 520 supports the lower end of the third tube sheet 400.

[0082] In this embodiment, a first tube sheet 200 and a second tube sheet 300 are vertically arranged at both ends of the heat exchange section 100 to fix the ends of the heat exchange tubes 110 and form a basic support frame. A third tube sheet 400, also vertically arranged, is provided on the heat exchange section 100 located between the first tube sheet 200 and the second tube sheet 300, with at least a portion of the heat exchange tubes 110 passing through the third tube sheet 400. This allows the third tube sheet 400 to also fix the heat exchange section 100, effectively reducing the risk of deformation in the middle of the heat exchange tubes 110 and making the heat exchanger more securely fixed. This further improves the structural rigidity and vibration resistance of the entire heat exchanger, preventing collisions during transportation caused by insecure fixing, which could lead to fin collapse, copper tube damage, or refrigerant leakage.

[0083] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the lower end 520 defines a water receiving trough 521, and a support platform 522 is provided inside the water receiving trough 521.

[0084] The second connecting plate 420, which is connected to the lower end of the third tube sheet 400, is mounted on the support platform 522 and is fixedly connected to the support platform 522.

[0085] In this embodiment, the water collection tank 521 can be used to collect condensate generated on the surface of the heat exchanger. A support platform 522 is provided inside the water collection tank 521, and the second connecting plate 420 is disposed on the support platform 522 and fixedly connected to the support platform 522 by means of screws, clips, or welding, etc., to ensure the stability of the heat exchanger components and effectively prevent excessive shaking of the heat exchanger. In this embodiment, the drainage function and structural support function are both achieved by a single component, without the need for additional special support structures, making the internal structure of the air conditioner indoor unit more compact.

[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end portion 510 has a first abutting portion and the lower end portion 520 has a second abutting portion.

[0087] The upper side of the first tube sheet 200 near the third tube sheet 400 contacts the first abutment, and the lower side of the first tube sheet 200 near the third tube sheet 400 contacts the second abutment.

[0088] In this embodiment, the length of the first tube sheet 200 is greater than the length of the heat exchange section 100, and both ends of the first tube sheet 200 extend beyond the heat exchange section 100. The portions extending beyond the heat exchange section 100 abut against the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion, respectively. The heat exchanger is fixed by the surface of the first tube sheet 200 abutting against the surfaces of the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion, i.e., contact between planes. The fixed position has a large area, making the fixation reliable and ensuring a more secure fixation of the heat exchanger. This avoids collisions between the heat exchanger and the indoor unit of the air conditioner, reducing the risk of damage to the heat exchanger.

[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end 510 has a third abutting portion and the lower end 520 has a fourth abutting portion.

[0090] The upper side of the second tube sheet 300 near the third tube sheet 400 contacts the third abutment, and the lower side of the second tube sheet 300 near the third tube sheet 400 contacts the fourth abutment.

[0091] In this embodiment, the length of the second tube sheet 300 is greater than the length of the heat exchange section 100, and both ends of the first tube sheet 200 extend beyond the heat exchange section 100, with the portions extending beyond the heat exchange section 100 abutting against the third and fourth abutting portions, respectively. Both sides of the heat exchanger are fixedly connected to the support 500 by plane-to-plane abutment, further making the fixation of the heat exchanger more secure.

[0092] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the third abutment portion is a partial surface area of ​​the bracket 500. A protrusion 511 is provided on the third abutment portion, and the protrusion 511 is inserted into the hanging hole 310 on the second tube plate 300. The third connecting plate 320 on the second tube plate 300 is fixedly connected to the upper end 510.

[0093] In this embodiment, a protrusion 511 is provided on the third abutment portion, and a hanging hole 310 is provided on the second tube sheet 300. When the second tube sheet 300 contacts and abuts against the third abutment portion, the protrusion 511 on the third abutment portion is inserted into the hanging hole 310 on the second tube sheet 300. The protrusion 511 and the hanging hole 310 serve a positioning function, making it more convenient to install the heat exchanger, avoiding misalignment during heat exchanger installation, and facilitating the installation of the heat exchanger.

[0094] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lower end 520 supports the lower ends of the first tube sheet 200 and the second tube sheet 300.

[0095] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first tube sheet 200 and the second tube sheet 300 are fixedly connected to the connecting part 530, which further enhances the overall structural rigidity of the heat exchanger.

[0096] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
