Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of air conditioner technology, and particularly relates to chassis components and air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioner outdoor unit chassis typically have valve plates for mounting and securing valves. In related technologies, an outdoor unit chassis assembly includes a chassis and a valve plate, both with bolt holes, and the chassis and valve plate are fixedly connected by bolts. However, deformation and accumulated tolerances during manufacturing and transportation of the chassis and valve plate make it difficult to ensure bolts penetrate and connect them, resulting in low assembly efficiency of the chassis assembly.

[0003] Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary.

[0004] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides chassis components and air conditioners to solve the problem of low assembly efficiency of chassis components.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a chassis assembly, including a chassis and a valve plate. The chassis has an insertion hole and a first connection hole for bolts to pass through, and the valve plate has a buckle and a second connection hole for bolts to pass through. When the valve plate is assembled with the chassis, the buckle is inserted into the socket, and the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are aligned.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the valve plate has a side edge on the side near the chassis, and the buckle is disposed on the side edge.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the chassis is provided with a side flange, the first connecting hole is opened on the side flange, the valve plate has a drainage portion on the side near the chassis, and the second connecting hole is opened on the drainage portion; When the valve plate is assembled with the chassis, the drainage portion and the side flange together define a drainage channel for liquid to flow into the chassis.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the chassis is recessed with a drainage groove, which communicates with the drainage channel.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the valve plate further includes a valve plate body and a transition portion, wherein the valve plate body, the transition portion and the drainage portion are arranged sequentially, and the transition portion is provided with a guide surface for guiding liquid on the valve plate body to the drainage channel.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the angle between the outer side of the valve plate body and the guide surface is α, and the angle between the guide surface and the outer side of the drainage part is β, where 110°≤α≤130° and 110°≤b≤130°.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the drain portion is provided with a connecting boss, and the second connecting hole is opened on the connecting boss. When the valve plate is assembled with the chassis, the connecting boss is located in the drain channel and abuts against the side flange.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the side surface of the connecting boss includes a first guide surface and a second guide surface connected in sequence, the first guide surface being connected to the top surface of the connecting boss, and the second guide surface being connected to the outer side surface of the drainage portion.

[0025] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application provides a chassis 1 assembly and an air conditioner to solve the problem of low assembly efficiency of the chassis 1 assembly. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a chassis 1 assembly, including a chassis 1 and a valve plate 2. The chassis 1 has an insertion hole 12 and a first connecting hole 14 for bolts to pass through. The valve plate 2 has a buckle 22 and a second connecting hole 26 for bolts to pass through. When the valve plate 2 is assembled with the chassis 1, the buckle 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 12, and the first connecting hole 14 and the second connecting hole 26 are aligned.

[0030] By setting a socket 12 on the chassis 1 and a snap fastener 22 on the valve plate 2, when assembling the chassis 1 and the valve plate 2, the chassis 1 and the valve plate 2 are first assembled by the snap fastener 22 engaging with the socket 12. This allows the core axis of the first connecting hole 14 to coincide with the core axis of the second connecting hole 26, which facilitates workers to quickly insert bolts into the first connecting hole 14 and the second connecting hole 26, thereby improving the assembly speed of the chassis 1 and the valve plate 2 and solving the problem of low assembly efficiency of the chassis 1 assembly.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a side flange 11 is integrally formed at the edge of the chassis 1. The side flange 11 is perpendicular to the chassis 1 and together with the chassis 1 defines a water receiving groove for collecting condensate. The first connecting hole 14 penetrates the side flange 11. The valve plate 2 includes a valve plate body 23, a transition portion 24, a drainage portion 25, and a side edge 21 arranged sequentially. The valve plate body 23 is used to support and fix the external valve body. The transition portion 24 is used to guide the condensate condensed on the valve plate body 23 to the drainage portion 25. The transition portion 24 is inclined relative to the valve plate body 23 and the drainage portion 25. The side edge 21 is perpendicular to the valve plate 2. The buckle 22 is integrally formed on the side edge 21 away from the valve plate 2 to facilitate the insertion and engagement of the buckle 22 with the insertion hole 12.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The chassis 1 is recessed with a drainage groove 13. When the valve plate 2 is assembled with the chassis 1, the drainage part 25 and the side flange 11 together define the drainage channel 3 for liquid to flow into the chassis 1. The drainage groove 13 is connected to the drainage channel 3 so that the condensate on the valve plate body 23 can flow into the drainage channel 3 through the transition part 24, and finally flow into the guide groove from the drainage channel 3, thus preventing the condensate on the valve plate body 23 from dripping out of the chassis 1.

[0033] Please see Figure 3The transition portion 24 is provided with a guide surface 241 for guiding liquid on the valve plate body 23 to the drainage channel 3. The angle between the outer side of the valve plate body 23 and the guide surface 241 is α, and the angle between the guide surface 241 and the outer side of the drainage portion 25 is b, where 110°≤a≤130° and 110°≤b≤130°. In this embodiment, the value of α is 120°, and the value of b is 120°. In some embodiments of this application, the value of α is any one of 110°, 112°, 114°, 116°, 118°, 122°, 124°, 126°, 128°, and 130°, and the value of b is any one of 110°, 112°, 114°, 116°, 118°, 122°, 124°, 126°, 128°, and 130°. By ensuring that 110°≤a≤130° and 110°≤b≤130°, not only can the length of the transition section 24 be reduced, thus preventing the valve plate 2 from becoming too large due to the excessive length of the transition section 24, but the valve plate body 23 can also be allowed to flow smoothly into the drainage channel 3, preventing the condensate on the valve plate body 23 from dripping directly from the valve plate body 23.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 A connecting boss 251 protrudes from the drainage section 25, and a second connecting hole 26 is formed on the connecting boss 251. When the valve plate 2 is assembled with the chassis 1, the connecting boss 251 is located inside the drainage channel 3 and abuts against the side flange 11. The first connecting hole 14 and the second connecting hole 26 are directly opposite each other. The setting of the connecting boss 251 not only helps to improve the structural strength of the drainage section 25, but also facilitates the bolts to pass through the first connecting hole 14 and the second connecting hole 26. The side of the connecting boss 251 includes a first guide surface 253 and a second guide surface 254. The first guide surface 253 connects the second guide surface 254 and the top surface of the connecting boss 251, and the second guide surface 254 connects the first guide surface 253 and the outer side of the drainage section 25. In this embodiment, the first guide surface 253 is a convex arc surface, and the second guide surface 254 is a concave arc surface. The arrangement of the first guide surface 253 and the second guide surface 254 is conducive to guiding the flow of condensate and reducing the accumulation of condensate droplets on the side of the connecting boss 251.

[0035] Please see Figure 5 In addition, a reinforcing boss 252 is also provided on the drainage part 25. In this embodiment, the shape of the reinforcing boss 252 is the same as the shape of the connecting boss 251. The setting of the reinforcing boss 252 is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the drainage part 25, thereby improving the structural strength of the valve plate 2.

[0036] This application also provides an air conditioner, which includes the chassis 1 assembly as described above. Since the air conditioner has the chassis 1 assembly, it has at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the chassis 1 assembly, which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
