[0011] Furthermore, the heat exchange structure is plate-shaped, and the heat exchange assembly also includes multiple partitions, which are spaced apart along the length or width of the heat exchange structure to divide the heat exchange cavity into multiple heat exchange channels.

[0012] Furthermore, the heat exchange structure is plate-shaped, and the evaporator also includes: at least two fin assemblies, respectively arranged on opposite sides of the heat exchange structure; wherein each fin assembly includes multiple fin structures, and the multiple fin structures are spaced apart along the width or length direction of the heat exchange structure.

[0013] Furthermore, there are at least two evaporators, which are spaced apart at the opening of the receiving cavity along a first preset direction.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] To address the issue of poor suspension safety of existing indoor wall-mounted air conditioning units, this application provides an air conditioner.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the air conditioner includes a housing 10, an evaporator 20, and a suspension structure 50. The housing 10 includes a base plate 11, side plates 12, and a top cover 13. The side plates 12 surround the base plate 11, and the top cover 13 is located at the end of the side plates 12 away from the base plate 11. The top cover 13, at least a portion of the side plates 12, and the base plate 11 form a receiving cavity 14. The evaporator 20 includes a heat exchange tube assembly and a manifold 21 connected in communication. Both ends of the manifold 21 are respectively attached to and connected to the top cover 13 and the base plate 11 for support between them. One end of the suspension structure 50 is connected to the surface to be suspended, and the other end is connected to the outer surface of the manifold 21.

[0032] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, the air conditioner casing 10 includes a bottom plate 11, side plates 12, and a top cover 13. The side plates 12 surround the bottom plate 11, and the top cover 13 is disposed at the end of the side plates 12 away from the bottom plate 11. The top cover 13, at least a portion of the side plates 12, and the bottom plate 11 surround each other to form a receiving cavity 14. The evaporator 20 includes a heat exchange tube assembly and a manifold 21 connected in communication. Both ends of the manifold 21 are respectively attached to and connected to the top cover 13 and the bottom plate 11 to be supported between the top cover 13 and the bottom plate 11. One end of the suspension structure 50 is connected to the surface to be suspended, and the other end of the suspension structure 50 is connected to the outer surface of the manifold 21. In this way, the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit is installed at the corner of the wall through the hanging structure 50. The evaporator 20 is directly connected to the top cover 13 and bottom plate 11 of the casing 10 through the manifold 21, and is also directly connected to the hanging structure 50 through the manifold 21. There is no need for additional sheet metal structure to connect and support the unit to the casing 10, which reduces the space occupied by the evaporator 20 inside the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit, reduces the weight and volume of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit, realizes the miniaturization and lightweight design of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit, and avoids the reduction of the hanging safety of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit due to excessive weight. This improves the hanging safety of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit and solves the problem of poor hanging safety of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit in the prior art.

[0033] In this embodiment, the surface to be hung is a wall.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the manifold 21 has a communicating cavity 211, and at least two heat exchange tube assemblies are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the manifold 21. The extension directions of at least two heat exchange components 22 are arranged at an angle. The air conditioner also includes an inlet pipe 30 and an outlet pipe 40. Each heat exchange component 22 has at least one heat exchange cavity 2211 for containing refrigerant. Each heat exchange cavity 2211 is connected to the communicating cavity 211. One heat exchange cavity 2211 is connected to the inlet pipe 30, and the other heat exchange cavity 2211 is connected to the outlet pipe 40. In this way, two heat exchange components 22 are mounted on the manifold 21. One heat exchange chamber 2211 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 30, and the other heat exchange chamber 2211 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 40. This allows the refrigerant to flow through the heat exchange chamber 2211 of one heat exchange component 22 to the connecting chamber 211, and then through the connecting chamber 211 to the heat exchange chamber 2211 of the other heat exchange component 22. After that, it flows back through the connecting chamber 211 to the other heat exchange chamber 2211 and then out through the liquid outlet pipe 40. This ensures that the refrigerant can flow smoothly between the heat exchange components 22 and the manifold, guaranteeing both the smooth flow of the refrigerant and the reliability of the heat exchange components 22. Furthermore, the two heat exchange components 22 extend at an angle, forming a "V" shape. This allows the evaporator 20 to adjust its shape and position according to the shape of the casing 10 or the corner of the wall, making the installation of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioning unit more convenient and simpler.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the liquid collecting pipe is tubular, and the heat exchange assembly 22 is cuboid. The length direction of the heat exchange assembly 22 is perpendicular to the length direction of the liquid collecting pipe and is consistent with the extension direction of the heat exchange assembly 22.

[0036] In this embodiment, two heat exchange components 22 are provided.

[0037] It should be noted that the number of heat exchange components 22 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to the working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the number of heat exchange components 22 can be three, four, six, seven or more.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the evaporator 20 also includes at least two liquid collecting structures 23, which are arranged one-to-one with at least two heat exchange components 22. Each liquid collecting structure 23 is located at the end of the corresponding heat exchange component 22 away from the manifold 21. Each liquid collecting structure 23 has a liquid collecting chamber 231, which is connected to the heat exchange chamber 2211 of the corresponding heat exchange component 22. One liquid collecting chamber 231 is connected to the inlet pipe 30, and the other liquid collecting chamber 231 is connected to the outlet pipe 40. In this way, the liquid collecting structure 23 is located at the end of the heat exchange component 22 away from the manifold 21 and is connected to the inlet pipe 30 and the outlet pipe 40 to contain the refrigerant at the other end of the heat exchange component 22, ensuring the smooth flow of the refrigerant and thus ensuring the heat exchange reliability of the heat exchange component 22.

[0039] In this embodiment, two liquid collection structures 23 are provided.

[0040] It should be noted that the number of liquid collection structures 23 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the number of liquid collection structures 23 can be three, four, six, seven, or more.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the liquid collection structure 23 is tubular, and the heat exchange assembly 22 includes a heat exchange structure 221, which has a heat exchange cavity 2211. Multiple heat exchange structures 221 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the liquid collection structure 23. Both ends of the heat exchange cavity 2211 of each heat exchange structure 221 are connected to the connecting cavity 211 and the liquid collection cavity 231, respectively. This arrangement of multiple heat exchange structures 221 allows the refrigerant in the liquid collection cavity 231 and the connecting cavity 211 to circulate through the heat exchange cavities 2211, dispersing the refrigerant within these cavities to exchange heat with the outside air. This increases the contact area between the refrigerant structure and the outside air, and also increases the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange assembly 22, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and effect of the heat exchange assembly 22, and ultimately enhancing the cooling effect of the air conditioner.

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, the evaporator 20 also includes a plurality of first partition structures 24 and a plurality of second partition structures. The plurality of first partition structures 24 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the liquid collection structure 23 within the liquid collection chamber 231 to divide the liquid collection chamber 231 into a plurality of sub-liquid collection chambers 231. At least two sub-liquid collection chambers 231 of the liquid collection structure 23 are staggered along the axial direction of the liquid collection structure 23. The plurality of second partition structures are spaced apart along the axial direction of the liquid collection structure 23 within the communicating chamber 211 to divide the communicating chamber 211 into a plurality of sub-communicating chambers 211. Adjacent second partition structures are respectively arranged corresponding to the first partition structures 24 within at least two liquid collection chambers 231 to allow the refrigerant to flow in reverse order. In this way, multiple first partition structures 24 can divide the liquid collection chamber 231 into multiple sub-liquid collection chambers 231, so that the refrigerant is blocked by the first partition structures 24 within the sub-liquid collection chambers 231; multiple second partition structures can divide the connecting chamber 211 into multiple sub-connecting chambers 211, so that the refrigerant is blocked by the second partition structures within the sub-connecting chambers 211. At the same time, the sub-liquid collection chambers 231 of the two liquid collection structures 23 are staggered, and the second partition structures are correspondingly set with the first partition structures 24, so that the sub-connecting chambers 211 can communicate with the sub-liquid collection chambers 231 of the two liquid collection structures 23 through multiple heat exchange chambers 2211, and can also cooperate with the first partition structure 24 in one of the liquid collection chambers 231 to guide the refrigerant to flow in a different direction, thereby realizing the circulation of the refrigerant in the two heat exchange components 22, the two liquid collection structures 23 and the manifold 21, and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigerant.

[0043] In this embodiment, the multiple sub-liquid chambers 231 are not connected to each other, and the multiple sub-connecting chambers 211 are not connected to each other, so that the refrigerant can flow in opposite directions between the two heat exchange components 22.

[0044] In this embodiment, the plurality of second partition structures include a plurality of first partition plates and a plurality of second partition plates, which are staggered along the axial direction of the liquid collection structure 23. Specifically, the plurality of first partition plates are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of first partition structures 24 within one of the liquid collection chambers 231, and the plurality of second partition plates are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of first partition structures 24 within another of the liquid collection chambers 231.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the axial direction of the liquid collection structure 23 is aligned with the height direction of the air conditioner. Along the height direction of the air conditioner, both the inlet pipe 30 and the outlet pipe 40 are connected to the same liquid collection structure 23. The inlet pipe 30 and the outlet pipe 40 are located at the top and bottom ends of the liquid collection structure 23, respectively, and are connected to their corresponding sub-liquid collection chambers 231. In this way, the inlet pipe 30 and the outlet pipe 40 can also come into contact with the gripping equipment during the air conditioner's production process, allowing the gripping equipment to directly grip the inlet pipe 30 or the outlet pipe 40, avoiding damage to the evaporator 20, ensuring the production quality and efficiency of the evaporator 20, and improving the production efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0046] Specifically, both the inlet pipe 30 and the outlet pipe 40 are welded to the liquid collection structure 23 to improve sealing.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchange structure 221 is plate-shaped, and the heat exchange assembly 22 also includes multiple partitions 222. These partitions 222 are spaced apart along the length or width of the heat exchange structure 221 to divide the heat exchange cavity 2211 into multiple heat exchange channels. In this way, the partitions 222 further divide the heat exchange cavity 2211 into multiple heat exchange channels, allowing the refrigerant medium within the heat exchange cavity 2211 to be further separated, thereby increasing the heat exchange area of ​​the refrigerant medium, improving the heat exchange efficiency and effect of the heat exchange assembly 22, and further enhancing the cooling effect of the air conditioner.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchange structure 221 is plate-shaped, and the evaporator 20 also includes at least two fin assemblies 25, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the heat exchange structure 221. Each fin assembly 25 includes multiple fin structures 251, which are spaced apart along the width or length direction of the heat exchange structure 221. This dense arrangement of fin structures 251 can disturb the airflow, increasing the contact area between the heat exchange structure 221 and the flowing air, thereby increasing the contact area between the refrigerant and the air, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange structure 221, and thus significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency and effect of the evaporator 20.

[0049] In this embodiment, multiple fin structures 251 are spaced apart along the length of the heat exchange structure 221.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, there are at least two evaporators 20, which are spaced apart at the opening of the receiving cavity 14 along a first preset direction. The end of the suspension structure 50 connected to the manifold 21 is a connecting end, and there are at least two connecting ends, each corresponding to one of the at least two evaporators 20. This spaced arrangement of the two evaporators 20 at the opening of the receiving cavity 14 increases the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner, enabling it to meet high cooling efficiency requirements and improving its cooling effect. Simultaneously, the suspension structure 50 connects to the two evaporators 20, increasing the connection area between the suspension structure 50 and the casing 10, balancing the force exerted by the suspension structure 50 on the evaporators 20, and ensuring the suspension stability and safety of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioning unit.

[0051] In this embodiment, two evaporators 20 are provided.

[0052] It should be noted that the number of evaporators 20 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to the operating conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the number of evaporators 20 can be three, four, six, seven, or more.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the suspension structure 50 includes at least two interconnected suspension members 51, with the extension directions of the at least two suspension members 51 arranged at an angle, and the ends of the at least two suspension members 51 furthest from each other forming a connection end. An air inlet space 52 is formed around the at least two suspension members 51 and at least a portion of the evaporator 20, with the at least portion of the evaporator 20 located outside the air inlet space 52 and forming an air inlet structure for air intake into the receiving cavity 14. Thus, the connection end formed by the ends of the two suspension members 51 ensures the reliability of the connection between the suspension structure 50 and the evaporator 20. Simultaneously, the angled arrangement of the two suspension members 51, together with the housing 10 and the evaporator 20, forms a stable triangular or similar triangular structure, ensuring the suspension reliability and stability of the suspension structure 50, and improving the suspension stability and safety of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioning unit. Furthermore, a portion of the evaporator 20 contacts air through the air flowing into the air inlet space 52, while another portion of the evaporator 20 directly contacts the outside air, increasing its contact area with the air and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator 20.

[0054] In this embodiment, two suspension members 51 are provided.

[0055] It should be noted that the number of suspension components 51 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the number of suspension components 51 can be three, four, six, seven, or more.

[0056] like Figure 3As shown, the arrows indicate the direction of airflow.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the evaporator 20 is located at the opening of the receiving cavity 14. The top cover 13 and the bottom plate 11 of the shell 10 are arranged in an arc-shaped manner along their length, and the first preset direction is consistent with the length direction of the top cover 13 and the bottom plate 11.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, at least two hanging members 51 are plate-shaped, each including a first plate segment 511 and a second plate segment 512 connected to each other. The first plate segment 511 is connected to the surface to be hung, and the second plate segment 512 is connected to the manifold 21. The first plate segment 511 and the second plate segment 512 are set at an angle. Thus, the hanging member 51 connects to the wall via the first plate segment 511 and to the evaporator 20 via the second plate segment 512. Simultaneously, the angled design between the first plate segment 511 and the second plate segment 512 allows the hanging structure 50 to better adapt to the spatial geometry between the wall and the evaporator 20, achieving a better force transmission path. It also facilitates wall-mounted installation, reduces the overall protruding thickness, and improves the aesthetics of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioning unit.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first plate segments 511 of the two suspension members 51 are connected to each other.

[0060] Optionally, the suspension 51 is connected to the manifold 21 by screws.

[0061] Optionally, the suspension component 51 is connected to the manifold component 21 by welding.

[0062] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0063] The air conditioner casing includes a base plate, side plates, and a top cover. The side plates surround the base plate, and the top cover is located at the end of the side plates away from the base plate. The top cover, at least part of the side plates, and the base plate surround each other to form a receiving cavity. The evaporator includes a heat exchange assembly and a manifold connected in communication. Both ends of the manifold are respectively attached to and connected to the top cover and the base plate to be supported between the top cover and the base plate. One end of the suspension structure is connected to the surface to be suspended, and the other end of the suspension structure is connected to the outer surface of the manifold. In this way, the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit is installed in the corner of the wall through a hanging structure. The evaporator is directly connected to the top cover and bottom plate of the casing through a manifold, and is also directly connected to the hanging structure through the manifold. There is no need for additional sheet metal structures to connect and support the casing, which reduces the space occupied by the evaporator inside the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit, and reduces the weight and volume of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit. This achieves the miniaturization and lightweight design of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit, and also avoids the reduction in hanging safety of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit due to excessive weight. This improves the hanging safety of the indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit and solves the problem of poor hanging safety of the existing indoor wall-mounted air conditioner unit.
