The box body comprises a middle partition plate. The middle partition plate is arranged in the box body and separates the box body into a first space and a second space. The middle partition plate comprises a first limiting structure. The first space and the second space are isolated at the position of the first limiting structure. The multiple functional components comprise a heat exchanger and a compressor. The heat exchanger is arranged in the first space. The compressor is arranged in the second space and connected with the heat exchanger pipeline. The electric control assembly is positioned on the middle partition plate through the first limiting structure and connected with the middle partition plate in a detachable manner. In the application, the first space and the second space are isolated at the position of the first limiting structure on the middle partition plate, that is, the first space and the second space are not communicated with each other at the position of the first limiting structure.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system technology, and more particularly to an outdoor unit and HVAC equipment. Background Technology

[0002] This section provides only background information relevant to this disclosure and is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] The outdoor unit of HVAC equipment includes a housing, multiple functional components, and electrical control components. The partition inside the housing divides the housing into a first space and a second space. Some of the multiple functional components are located in the first space and do not require waterproofing, while others are located in the second space and require waterproofing.

[0004] The electronic control component is installed on the partition plate, which has a positioning hole. The positioning protrusion of the electronic control component is inserted into the positioning hole to achieve positioning of the electronic control component during installation. However, the position of the positioning hole is prone to water leakage from the first space to the second space, which increases the safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to at least solve the problem of water leakage occurring at the positioning location of the partition plate in the electronic control component. This purpose is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A first aspect of this application provides an outdoor unit for HVAC equipment, said outdoor unit comprising:

[0007] The box body includes a middle partition, which is disposed inside the box body and divides the box body into a first space and a second space. The middle partition includes a first limiting structure, at the position of the first limiting structure, the first space and the second space are isolated from each other.

[0008] The system includes multiple functional components, including a heat exchanger and a compressor. The heat exchanger is disposed in the first space, and the compressor is disposed in the second space and connected to the heat exchanger via piping.

[0009] An electronic control component is positioned on the partition plate by the first limiting structure and is detachably connected to the partition plate.

[0010] In the outdoor unit of this application, a first limiting structure is provided on the partition plate. This first limiting structure limits the electrical control components, thereby improving their installation accuracy. Simultaneously, limiting the electrical control components also reduces the number of fasteners required between the electrical control components and the partition plate. On the partition plate, at the location of the first limiting structure, the first space and the second space are isolated, meaning they are not connected. This reduces the possibility of water leakage from the first space to the second space from the location of the first limiting structure, thus lowering the safety risks of the outdoor unit.

[0011] In addition, the outdoor unit according to this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic control component includes:

[0013] The mounting plate is disposed on the side of the partition plate facing the second space. The mounting plate is positioned on the partition plate by the first limiting structure and is detachably connected to the partition plate.

[0014] An electronic control device is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting plate includes a second limiting structure, which engages with the first limiting structure in a concave-convex fit.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the first limiting structure is a protrusion formed on the partition plate, the protrusion protruding toward one side of the second space, and the second limiting structure is a slot structure formed on the mounting plate, the slot structure being sleeved on at least a portion of the outer periphery of the protrusion structure.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the partition plate is provided with at least one first mating structure, and the mounting plate is provided with a second mating structure in the same number as the first mating structure. The second mating structure and the second limiting structure are spaced apart and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first mating structure. The second mating structure and the first mating structure are mated together. The first mating structure limits the second mating structure in at least a first direction. The first direction is the arrangement direction of the partition plate and the mounting plate.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the first mating structure is a mounting structure formed on the partition plate, and the second mating structure is a hook structure formed on the mounting plate. Along the second direction, the hook structure is mounted on the mounting structure, and along the first direction, the mounting structure limits the hook structure. The second direction is consistent with the height direction of the box.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the partition plate is provided with a first mounting port, the mounting plate closes the first mounting port, the mounting plate is provided with a second mounting port, and the electronic control device includes a heat sink, which extends through the second mounting port and is disposed in the first space.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic control device further includes:

[0021] The housing is connected to the mounting plate, and the heat sink is thermally connected to the housing.

[0022] At least one electronic control component is disposed within the housing and is capable of exchanging heat with the heat sink through the housing.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic control device further includes a seal that is circumferentially arranged around the second mounting port and seals the junction between the housing and the mounting plate.

[0024] A second aspect of this application provides a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the HVAC system comprising:

[0025] Outdoor unit, wherein the outdoor unit is an outdoor unit as described above;

[0026] The indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit and forms a refrigerant circulation path.

[0027] In the outdoor unit of the HVAC equipment of this application, a first limiting structure is provided on the partition plate. This first limiting structure limits the electrical control components, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the components. Simultaneously, limiting the electrical control components also reduces the number of fasteners required between the components and the partition plate. On the partition plate, at the location of the first limiting structure, a first space and a second space are isolated, meaning they are not interconnected. This reduces the possibility of water leakage at the location of the first limiting structure and the possibility of water leakage from the first space to the second space, thus lowering the safety hazards of the outdoor unit.

[0028] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this application. In order to better understand the technical means of this application and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, the following are specific embodiments of this application.

[0060] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0061] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not construed as requiring them to be performed in a particular order described or illustrated unless the order of performance is explicitly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0062] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments.

[0063] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "over," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, an outdoor unit 100 for HVAC equipment is proposed, the outdoor unit 100 including a housing 10, an electrical control assembly 30 and a plurality of functional components 20.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the box 10 has an internal accommodating space. The box 10 includes a central partition 11, which is disposed within the accommodating space of the box 10 and divides the accommodating space of the box 10 into two spaces, namely a first space 12 and a second space 13. A first limiting structure 112 is provided on the central partition 11, wherein the central partition 11 is located at the position of the first limiting structure 112, and the second space 13 is isolated from the first space 12, that is, the first space 12 and the second space 13 cannot be connected at the position of the first limiting structure 112.

[0066] The HVAC equipment used in the outdoor unit 100 also includes an indoor unit, which is connected to the outdoor unit 100 and forms a refrigerant circulation path. The functional component 20 specifically refers to a component that drives the refrigerant or performs refrigerant state conversion (the functional component 20 can be an electrically powered component or a non-electrically powered component). Multiple functional components 20 are connected in series in the refrigerant circulation path. When multiple functional components 20 are in operation, they can drive the flow of refrigerant and the conversion of refrigerant state, thereby meeting the operational requirements of the HVAC equipment.

[0067] Among the multiple functional components 20, there is a compressor 22 and a heat exchanger. The first space 12 is a space that can be connected to the outside (the outside airflow can enter the first space 12, and the airflow in the first space 12 can also be discharged to the outside). The heat exchanger is installed in the first space 12, and the first space 12 is used to house the heat exchanger. The first space 12 is connected to the outside, and the refrigerant can exchange heat with the outside air through the heat exchanger to regulate the temperature of the refrigerant. The second space 13 is a relatively closed space. The compressor 22 is installed in the second space 13 and is connected to the heat exchanger through a pipeline. The second space 13 is used to house the compressor 22. The operation of the compressor 22 drives the refrigerant and changes its state.

[0068] The electronic control component 30 is mounted on the partition plate 11, and the connection between the electronic control component 30 and the partition plate 11 is detachable. The first limiting structure 112 on the partition plate 11 cooperates with the electronic control component 30 to limit its position.

[0069] In the outdoor unit 100 of this application, a first limiting structure 112 is provided on the partition plate 11. The first limiting structure 112 is used to limit the electronic control component 30, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the electronic control component 30. At the same time, the first limiting structure 112 also reduces the number of fasteners between the electronic control component 30 and the partition plate 11. On the partition plate 11, at the position of the first limiting structure 112, the first space 12 and the second space 13 are isolated, that is, the first space 12 and the second space 13 are not connected to each other at the position of the first limiting structure 112. This reduces the possibility of water leakage from the first space 12 to the second space 13 from the position of the first limiting structure 112, thereby reducing the safety hazards of the outdoor unit 100.

[0070] It should be noted that, in addition to the positional relationship between the first limiting structure 112 and the partition plate 11, the electronic control component 30 and the partition plate 11 also have other connection positions. The connection methods at these other connection positions include, but are not limited to, snap-fit, connector connection, or a combination of snap-fit ​​and connector connection.

[0071] In addition, in this application, the heat exchanger includes a heat exchange body and a fan 21. The heat exchange body is connected to the compressor 22 through a pipeline. The heat exchange body is a heat exchange structure formed by pipelines and multiple fins. The fan 21 is located on one side of the heat exchange body. The operation of the fan 21 can increase the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchange body and the air, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger for the refrigerant.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the electronic control assembly 30 includes a mounting plate 31 and an electronic control device. The electronic control device is mounted on the mounting plate 31. The mounting plate 31 is detachably connected to the partition plate 11 and is located on the side of the partition plate 11 facing the second space 13.

[0073] Specifically, the electrical control device is configured as a two-part structure consisting of a mounting plate 31 and the electrical control device itself. This improves the ease of processing and effectively reduces manufacturing costs.

[0074] In this application, the electronic control device is a device used to control the operation of the outdoor unit 100, such as the electronic control device controlling the operation of the compressor 22.

[0075] It should be understood that the shape of the mounting plate 31 is adapted to the shape of the partition plate 11 facing the second space 13, so that the mounting plate 31 and the partition plate 11 can be in surface contact, resulting in a large contact area between the mounting plate 31 and the partition plate 11, thereby improving the fixing strength and the stability of the structure.

[0076] It should be noted that the connection methods between the mounting plate 31 and the partition plate 11 include, but are not limited to, snap-fit, connector connection, or a combination of snap-fit ​​and connector connection.

[0077] For example, there are multiple mating positions between the mounting plate 31 and the partition plate 11. One of the mating positions is achieved by the first mating structure 113, while other mating positions are fixed by snap-fit ​​(e.g., hooks) and the other mating positions are fixed by connectors (e.g., screws).

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a second limiting structure 311 is provided on the mounting plate 31 of the electronic control component 30. The first limiting structure 112 of the partition plate 11 and the second limiting structure 311 are in concave-convex cooperation so that the mounting plate 31 is positioned on the partition plate 11.

[0079] Specifically, a second mating structure 312 is provided on the mounting plate 31, and the first limiting structure 112 and the second limiting structure 311 are mated by a concave-convex mating method. This mating method has a simple structure and can effectively isolate the first space 12 and the second space 13 at the position of the first limiting structure 112, thereby reducing the possibility of water leakage at the position of the first limiting structure 112.

[0080] It should be understood that one of the first limiting structure 112 and the second limiting structure 311 is a protruding structure and the other is a recessed structure.

[0081] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a first limiting structure 112 is provided on the partition plate 11. The first limiting structure 112 is configured as a protrusion formed on the partition plate 11. The protrusion is formed on the partition plate 11 and protrudes to one side of the second space 13. A second limiting structure 311 is provided on the mounting plate 31. The second limiting structure 311 is configured as a slot structure formed on the mounting plate 31. When the first limiting structure 112 and the second limiting structure 311 cooperate, the second limiting structure 311, which is a slot structure, is sleeved on the outside of the first limiting structure 112, which is a protrusion structure, and the slot structure covers at least part of the outer periphery of the protrusion structure.

[0082] Specifically, the first limiting structure 112 is set as a protruding structure, and the second limiting structure 311 is set as a slot structure. During the assembly process, the slot can be directly fitted onto the outside of the protruding structure. This simplifies the structure and improves the convenience of the assembly process, thereby improving the efficiency of assembly.

[0083] It should be noted that the partition plate 11 can be a metal part or a non-metal part. The first limiting structure 112, which is a raised structure, can be integrally formed with the partition plate 11, or it can be formed on the partition plate 11 through post-processing. For example, the partition plate 11 is a metal plate, and the raised structure is formed on the partition plate 11 by stamping (the plate surface of the partition plate 11 opposite to the raised structure is a recessed structure). This can improve the convenience of processing and improve the processing efficiency.

[0084] The mounting plate 31 can be made of metal or non-metal. The second limiting structure 311, which is a slot structure, can be integrally formed with the mounting plate 31 or formed on the mounting plate 31 through post-processing. For example, the mounting plate 31 is a metal plate, and a slot structure is formed on the mounting plate 31 by stamping (the slot can be a hole-like structure opened on the surface of the mounting plate 31 or a U-shaped opening structure opened at the end of the mounting plate 31). This can improve the convenience of processing and increase the processing efficiency.

[0085] Furthermore, in this application, the cross-section of the protruding structure (the plane perpendicular to the first direction Y, where the first direction Y is the arrangement direction of the mounting plate 31 and the partition plate 11) can be circular, elliptical, or polygonal, etc. The inner contour shape of the slot structure is adapted to the shape of the protruding structure, thus effectively realizing the cooperation between the first limiting structure 112 and the second limiting structure 311.

[0086] For example, the cross-section of the protruding structure is non-circular, and the slot structure is a U-shaped opening at the end of the mounting plate 31. When the slot structure is fitted onto the outer periphery of the protruding structure, it covers part of the outer periphery. By making the cross-section of the protruding structure non-circular, the mounting plate 31 can be limited in a plane parallel to it, thus reducing the rotation of the mounting plate 31 relative to the partition plate 11. Furthermore, when the mounting plate 31 is installed, it moves towards the partition plate 11 along the first direction Y, allowing the slot structure to fit over the outer shell of the protruding structure. This effectively improves assembly efficiency.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 3 to 6 ,as well as Figures 9 to 11As shown, a first mating structure 113 is provided on the partition plate 11, and the number of the first mating structures 113 is at least one. A second mating structure 312 is provided on the mounting plate 31, and the number of the second mating structures 312 is the same as the number of the first mating structures 113. The first mating structures 113 and the second mating structures 312 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0088] On the partition plate 11, the first mating structure 113 and the first limiting structure 112 are arranged at intervals, and on the mounting plate 31, the second mating structure 312 and the second limiting structure 311 are arranged at intervals.

[0089] When the mounting plate 31 is assembled on the partition plate 11, the first mating structure 113 limits the mounting plate 31 at least in the first direction Y through the second mating structure 312. The first limiting structure 112 and the second limiting structure 311 are in a concave-convex fit. The first limiting structure 112 limits the mounting plate 31 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction Y through the second limiting structure 311. In this way, the mounting plate 31 can be limited in multiple directions, thereby improving the limiting effect of the mounting plate 31 and effectively improving the installation accuracy of the mounting plate 31.

[0090] It should be noted that the mating method between the first mating structure 113 and the second mating structure 312 can be snap-fit ​​or connected by a connector (such as a screw).

[0091] In addition, the number of the first mating structures 113 can be one, two, three, four, five, etc.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 3 to 6 ,as well as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, a first mating structure 113 is provided on the partition plate 11, and the first mating structure 113 is configured as a mounting structure. A second mating structure 312 is provided on the mounting plate 31, and the second mating structure 312 is configured as a hook structure. The hook structure is mounted on the mounting structure, and the mounting structure can limit the hook structure along the first direction Y.

[0093] Specifically, the mounting structure can be formed on the top of the partition plate 11, or it can be an opening structure formed on the partition plate 11. The hook structure can be set on the top of the mounting plate 31, or it can be set on the surface of the mounting plate 31.

[0094] In this application, the mounting structure is formed on the top of the partition plate 11, and the hook structure is set on the top of the mounting plate 31. The hook structure is formed by bending the top of the mounting plate 31. When assembling the mounting plate 31, the hook is first hung on the bearing structure along the second direction X (the second direction X is the height direction of the box 10). After the hook is in place, the second limiting structure 311, which is a slot structure, is then fitted onto the first limiting structure 112, which is a protrusion structure. Finally, the mounting plate 31 and the partition plate 11 are fixed by connectors or the like.

[0095] In addition, a flange is provided on the top of the partition plate 11. The flange forms a hanging structure. By setting the flange, the contact area with the hook can be increased, thereby improving the structural strength and structural stability of the mating position.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 2 to 7 ,as well as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, a first mounting port 111 is provided on the partition plate 11, and a second mounting port 313 is provided on the mounting plate 31. When the mounting plate 31 is fixed on the partition plate 11, the mounting plate 31 closes the first mounting port 111, and the second mounting port 313 is located inside the first mounting port 111.

[0097] The electronic control device includes a heat sink 33, which extends through the second mounting port 313 and is disposed inside the first space 12. This arrangement allows the heat sink 33 to be heated by the airflow within the first space 12, thereby reducing the risk of high-temperature failures in the electronic control device.

[0098] It should be noted that, along the second direction X, the first limiting structure 112 and the first mating structure 113 are located on opposite sides of the first mounting port 111, and the first limiting structure 112 is located below the first mating structure 113.

[0099] Along the second direction X, the second limiting structure 311 and the second mating structure 312 are located on opposite sides of the second mounting port 313, and the second limiting structure 311 is located below the second mating structure 312.

[0100] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the electronic control device also includes a housing 34 and an electronic control component 35. There is at least one electronic control component 35. The housing 34 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 31, and the fixing method can be adhesive, snap-fit, or connected via connectors (such as screws). The electronic control component 35 is disposed inside the housing 34, and the heat sink 33 can exchange heat with the electronic control component 35 through the housing 34.

[0101] By setting up the housing 34, the electronic control component 35 can be protected, reducing the exposure of the electronic control component 35 and thus reducing the adverse effects of the external environment on the electronic control component 35.

[0102] It should be noted that the housing 34 can be a metal component or a non-metallic component. The accompanying drawings of this application only show a portion of the structure of the housing 34.

[0103] The number of electronic control components 35 can be one, two, three, four, five, etc. The electronic control components 35 are electrically connected to the power devices inside the outdoor unit 100, and the electronic control components 35 control the operation of the power devices. For example, the electronic control components 35 can be components such as control circuit boards.

[0104] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the electronic control device also includes a sealing element 32 arranged circumferentially around the second mounting port 313, which seals the joint position between the mounting plate 31 and the housing 34.

[0105] By setting the sealing element 32, the joint between the mounting plate 31 and the box 34 can be sealed, thereby reducing the amount of water vapor in the first space 12 entering the second space 13 through the second mounting port 313, thereby further reducing the failure rate of the functional components 20 in the second space 13 and also reducing the safety hazards of the outdoor unit 100.

[0106] It should be pointed out that, as Figure 7 As shown, the sealing element 32 can be a sealant or a sealing ring, etc. For example, the sealing element 32 is a sealing ring, and an embedding groove 341 is provided on the side of the housing 34 facing the mounting plate 31. The sealing ring is embedded in the embedding groove 341, and part of the sealing ring protrudes from the embedding groove 341. After the housing 34 and the mounting plate 31 are assembled in place, the sealing ring is sandwiched between the mounting plate 31 and the housing 34, thus achieving a seal.

[0107] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown, when the housing 34 and the mounting plate 31 are connected by screws, a through hole 321 is provided on the sealing ring to allow the screws to pass through, thereby reducing the possibility of water leakage at the screw location.

[0108] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the second aspect of this application proposes a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) device, which includes an outdoor unit 100 and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit 100 is an outdoor unit 100 as described above, and the indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit 100 to form a refrigerant circulation path.

[0109] In the outdoor unit 100 of the HVAC equipment of this application, a first limiting structure 112 is provided on the partition 11. The first limiting structure 112 is used to limit the electrical control component 30, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the electrical control component 30. At the same time, the first limiting structure 112 also reduces the number of fasteners between the electrical control component 30 and the partition 11. On the partition 11, at the position of the first limiting structure 112, the first space 12 and the second space 13 are isolated, that is, the first space 12 and the second space 13 are not connected to each other at the position of the first limiting structure 112. This reduces the possibility of water leakage at the position of the first limiting structure 112 and the possibility of water leakage from the first space 12 to the second space 13, thereby reducing the safety hazards of the outdoor unit 100.

[0110] In this application, the aforementioned HVAC equipment can be a household air conditioner, etc. The structure of other parts of this HVAC equipment can be found in existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
