[0052] The realization of the objectives, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the following part will further describe the embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0055] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and subsequent associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0057] At present, a vibration reduction component is installed in the indoor unit of the HVAC equipment and fixed to the bottom of the compressor. The vibration reduction component is used to consume the vibration energy of the compressor when the compressor is running, reduce the transmission of the compressor vibration to the chassis and other structural parts of the indoor unit, play a role in vibration reduction and noise reduction, and reduce the noise during the operation of the outdoor unit.

[0058] However, in the prior art, screw parts and other connectors are usually used to connect the chassis structure, the vibration damping assembly and the compressor. For example, after the screw parts are fixed through the chassis structure and the vibration damping parts of the vibration damping assembly are passed through, they are threadedly connected to the compressor. However, the compressor is too heavy. Even with this connection method, during the transportation of the outdoor unit, due to uneven road conditions, especially in long-distance transportation or poor road conditions, the compressor located in the outdoor unit will still shake, and the shaking amplitude is large, which will cause the pipe connected to the compressor to easily disconnect from the compressor, and then the pipe may fall and be damaged.

[0059] To address the above issues, please refer to Figure 1. An embodiment of the present application proposes a heating and ventilation equipment. In this embodiment, the heating and ventilation equipment includes an air conditioner, a multi-split unit, a heat pump, or other equipment for heating or cooling. Optionally, the heating and ventilation equipment may include an indoor unit (not shown) and an outdoor unit 100. The indoor unit and the outdoor unit 100 are connected to form a refrigerant cycle, and the combined operation plays a role in regulating the indoor environment. During actual transportation, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 100 are generally packaged separately for transportation.

[0060] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , specifically, the outdoor unit 100 includes a chassis structure 10 , a compressor 30 , a vibration reduction assembly 50 , a fixing assembly 60 and a silent cover 70 .

[0061] The chassis structure 10 is rectangular in shape and serves as the foundation for the weight of the entire outdoor unit 100. The chassis structure 10 can be a sheet metal component, which offers both strength and lightweight advantages. Of course, the chassis structure 10 can also be other metal components besides sheet metal, and this embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 2 , in some structural forms, the outer edge of the chassis structure 10 is provided with a chassis flange 13 . Specifically, the chassis structure 10 may include a chassis body 11 and a chassis flange 13 connected to the outer edge of the chassis body 11 . The chassis body 11 is used to support HVAC equipment components. The chassis flange 13 may be bent and formed at the outer edge of the chassis body 11 and formed integrally with the chassis body 11 , thereby ensuring a more secure connection and reducing assembly steps. Of course, the chassis body 11 and chassis flange 13 may also be separate structures and secured together by gluing, threading, or other methods, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0063] 2 to 4 , the compressor 30 includes a base 31 and a body 33 mounted on the base 31. The base 31 and the bottom of the body 33 may be fixed by welding or the like to ensure the stability of the connection between the base 31 and the body 33.

[0064] Please continue to refer to Figures 2 to 4. The vibration reduction assembly 50 can be connected between the disk body 11 of the chassis structure 10 and the base 31 of the compressor 30. The vibration reduction assembly 50 can consume the vibration energy of the compressor 30, thereby reducing the transmission of the vibration of the compressor 30 to the disk body 11 of the chassis structure 10, thereby playing a role in vibration reduction and noise reduction, and reducing the noise of the outdoor unit 100 during operation.

[0065] The vibration damping assembly 50 includes a mounting plate 53 and a vibration damping structure 57. The vibration damping structure 57 may include multiple first vibration damping members 51 and multiple second vibration damping members 55. Both the first vibration damping members 51 and the second vibration damping members 55 may be made of rubber material so as to be able to undergo elastic deformation to play a role in buffering and vibration reduction.

[0066] In one structural form, the vibration-damping structure 57 is connected between the mounting plate 53 and the compressor 30, that is, multiple first vibration-damping members 51 are arranged at intervals, and the mounting plate 53 is connected to the base 31 of the compressor 30 via the multiple first vibration-damping members 51. In another structural form, the vibration-damping structure 57 is connected between the mounting plate 53 and the chassis structure 10, that is, multiple second vibration-damping members 55 are arranged at intervals, and the mounting plate 53 is connected to the disk body 11 of the chassis structure 10 via the multiple second vibration-damping members 55. It should be noted that the present application can also be a combination of the above two structural forms, which can achieve a secondary vibration-damping effect, further reducing the noise caused by the compressor body 33 of the compressor 30 and further improving the user experience. This application is not limited to this.

[0067] The fixing assembly 60 is used to fix the compressor 30 on the chassis structure 10, wherein the fixing assembly 60 includes a connector 61 and a support member 63. The connector 61 can be roughly Z-shaped, and the connector 61 can be a metal plate to have a strong structural strength. Of course, the connector 61 can also be a plastic plate, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. The connector 61 connects the disk body 11 of the chassis structure 10 and the chassis of the compressor 30 to limit the shaking of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10 at least in the horizontal direction. For example, the connector 61 can limit the shaking of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10 in the horizontal direction, or the connector 61 can limit the shaking of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10 in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction. It should be noted that the connection form of the connector 61 connecting the chassis structure 10 and the compressor 30 can be a direct connection or an indirect connection. For example, the connector 61 is directly connected to the mounting plate 53 to achieve an indirect connection with the compressor 30 through the mounting plate 53. In this way, the connector 61 can limit the degree of shaking of the compressor 30 through the mounting plate 53. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0068] The support member 63 can be arranged in an elongated strip and can be a metal plate with strong structural strength to provide good support. The support member 63 is disposed between the base 31 of the compressor 30 and the mounting plate 53 to limit the vibration of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10, at least in the vertical direction. For example, the support member 63 can limit the vibration of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10 in the vertical direction, or the connector 61 can limit the vibration of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10 in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0069] The soundproof cover 70 can be square and made of a metal material with good sound insulation, such as lead, steel, or aluminum. The soundproof cover 70 is mounted on the chassis body 11 of the chassis structure 10 and covers the compressor 30, the vibration reduction assembly 50, and the fixing assembly 60. This effectively reduces the noise generated by the compressor 30.

[0070] The embodiment of the present application is provided with a connector 61 and a support member 63, and the chassis structure 10 and the compressor 30 are connected by the connector 61, and the support member 63 is provided between the compressor 30 and the mounting plate 53, so that the outdoor unit 100 of the present application has at least the following technical effects:

[0071] First, the connection member 61 can limit the vibration of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10 in at least the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the vibration of the compressor 30 during transportation, reducing the possibility of separation between the pipe and the compressor 30, and ensuring the stability of the outdoor unit 100 during transportation. Secondly, based on the connection member 61, the support member 63 is added to support the bottom of the compressor 30 to provide support for multiple positions of the compressor 30 as a whole, thereby limiting the compressor 30 as a whole in at least the vertical direction, thereby preventing excessive vibration between the compressor 30 and the chassis structure 10 in at least the vertical direction. In summary, the connection member 61 and the support member 63 can jointly limit the relative vibration of the compressor 30 and the chassis structure 10 in at least the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, respectively, and the support member 63 can provide a more uniform support effect on the compressor 30, thereby making the compressor 30 more evenly stressed, thereby reducing the vibration of the compressor 30 as a whole, and significantly reducing the possibility of separation between the pipe and the compressor 30.

[0072] Referring to Figures 3 and 4 , in some embodiments, connector 61 is located on one side of support member 63, meaning that connector 61 and support member 63 are arranged horizontally side by side. Connector 61 blocks support member 63 in the direction in which it would otherwise separate from between mounting plate 53 and compressor 30. This ensures the stability of support member 63's position below compressor 30, preventing it from separating from mounting plate 53 and compressor 30 during transportation or use.

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 and 4. In some structural forms, the connecting member 61 includes a first connecting portion 611, a stop portion 613 and a second connecting portion 615 connected in sequence. The first connecting portion 611, the stop portion 613 and the second connecting portion 615 cooperate to form a Z shape.

[0074] The first connection portion 611 is connected to the base 31 of the compressor 30. The disk body 11 has an upper surface 111, and the second connection portion 615 is connected to the upper surface 111 of the chassis structure 10. Compared to the connection between the second connection portion 615 and the chassis flange 13, the disk body 11 connected by the second connection portion 615 in this embodiment of the application has greater strength, resulting in a more secure connection, further limiting the relative shaking between the chassis structure 10 and the compressor 30. In other embodiments, the second connection portion 615 can also be connected to the chassis flange 13 of the chassis structure 10, and this embodiment of the application is not limited to this.

[0075] Among them, the support member 63 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 53, and the stop portion 613 stops the support member 63 in the direction in which the support member 63 is disengaged from the mounting plate 53 and the compressor 30. In this way, during the actual disassembly and assembly process, the staff can push or pull out the support member 63 to slide the support member 63 to the desired installation position, or pull the support member 63 out to a position that is disengaged from the compressor 30, which is convenient to operate and improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. Moreover, when the support member 63 and the connecting member 61 are located on the same side, the staff can disassemble and assemble the support member 63 and the connecting member 61 when they are on the same side without having to change positions, which is convenient to operate. Of course, the support member 63 can also be connected to the mounting plate 53 by a fixed connection such as a threaded connection, an adhesive connection or a snap connection, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0076] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 , the support member 63 further includes a support portion 631 and a stopper 633. The support portion 631 is disposed between the base 31 of the compressor 30 and the mounting plate 53 and is slidably connected to the mounting plate 53. The stopper 633 is connected to the side of the support portion 631 that faces the stopper 613 of the connector 61. It is understood that the stopper 613 can stop the stopper 633 in the direction in which the support member 63 is disengaged from the mounting plate 53 and the compressor 30, thereby providing a stopper and limiter.

[0077] The stopper 613 of the connector 61 is detachably connected to the limiting portion 633. Compared to the stopper 613 abutting against the limiting portion 633, the detachable connection not only enables the stopper 613 to abut against the limiting portion 633, but also increases the connection between the stopper 613 and the limiting portion 633, further enhancing the stopping effect. Furthermore, the detachable connection facilitates assembly and disassembly by the operator, improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0078] Specifically, the stopper 613 and the limiting portion 633 may include but are not limited to the following structures:

[0079] In the first structural form, the stop part 613 and the limiting part 633 are threadedly connected. Specifically, the stop part 613 is provided with a first threaded hole, and the limiting part 633 is provided with a second threaded hole. A threaded fixing part is sequentially passed through the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole to realize the threaded connection between the stop part 613 and the limiting part 633. In this way, the connection between the stop part 613 and the limiting part 633 is more stable through the threaded connection.

[0080] In the second form, the stop portion 613 and the limiting portion 633 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection. Specifically, the stop portion 613 is provided with one of the snap-fit ​​and the slot, and the limiting portion 633 is provided with the other of the snap-fit ​​and the slot. The snap-fit ​​connection between the stop portion 613 and the limiting portion 633 is achieved by elastically deforming the snap-fit ​​and snapping into the slot. In this way, the stop portion 613 and the limiting portion 633 have a certain connection strength through the snap-fit ​​connection. At the same time, the elastic deformation of the snap-fit ​​itself and the cooperation with the slot make the operation more convenient during the assembly and disassembly process.

[0081] In the third form, the stop portion 613 is provided with an avoidance opening for the limiting portion 633 to pass through, and is provided with a turn buckle, and the limiting portion 633 can be passed through the avoidance opening. In this way, after the limiting portion 633 is passed through the avoidance opening, the turn buckle can be buckled with the limiting portion 633 to limit the movement of the limiting portion 633 relative to the stop portion 613. In this way, under the setting of the turn buckle, the structure of the stop portion 613 and the limiting portion 633 is simple and easy to operate.

[0082] It should be noted that, among at least the above three structural forms, the indoor unit of the present application can adopt any one structural form, or a combination of two or more structural forms, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the silent cover 70 includes a cover body 71 and a cover plate 73. The cover body 71 is provided with an installation window. The cover body 71 is installed on the chassis structure 10 and covers the compressor 30, the vibration reduction assembly 50 and the fixing assembly 60. The cover plate 73 is detachably connected to the cover body 71 and seals the installation window.

[0084] In the state where the cover plate 73 is removed from the cover body 71, the connector 61 and the support member 63 are both removed through the installation window. In this way, when the staff transports the indoor unit to the user's specific installation environment, they can remove the cover plate 73 from the installation window. Since the connector 61 and the support member 63 are both exposed through the installation window, the staff can also remove the connector 61 and the support member 63 at the same time, which is convenient for operation and improves efficiency. Compared with the related art, a plurality of connectors 61 are set at intervals to improve the overall vibration limiting effect of the compressor 30. The staff needs to remove the connector 61 at different positions. For example, the silent cover 70 needs to be removed as a whole before the multiple connectors 61 can be removed. Finally, the silent cover 70 can be reinstalled. However, the form of the present application only requires the removal of the cover plate 73, and there is no need to remove the cover body 71, which greatly facilitates the staff to disassemble the fixed component 60 and is very convenient to operate.

[0085] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7. In some embodiments, a slide rail 635 is provided on the support portion 631. For example, a flange can be punched out during the manufacturing process of the support member 63. The flange is the slide rail 635, and the slide rail 635 is in the shape of an elongated strip. A slide groove 53a is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 53 facing the support portion 631. For example, an elongated groove can be punched out on the surface of the mounting portion. In this way, the slide rail 635 cooperates with the slide groove 53a to achieve a sliding connection, and the structure is further simplified. In addition, the slide rail 635 can include two spaced-apart sub-slide rails, which can reduce the consumables of the support portion 631 and reduce the overall weight of the support portion 631.

[0086] In other embodiments, the support portion 631 is provided with a slot 53a, which is in the shape of an elongated strip. The surface of the mounting plate 53 facing the support portion 631 is provided with a slide rail 635, which is in the shape of an elongated strip. Thus, the slide rail 635 cooperates with the slot 53a to achieve a sliding connection, and the structure is further simplified.

[0087] Based on the above two embodiments, the number of slide rails 635 can be set to two, and the number of slide grooves 53a can also be set to two accordingly, and one slide rail 635 is correspondingly slidably connected in one slide groove 53a, so as to improve the stability of the sliding connection and ensure the overall stability of the support member 63, thereby improving the support and stability effect of the base 31 of the compressor 30.

[0088] Referring to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the mounting plate 53 is connected to the base 31 of the compressor 30 via a plurality of first vibration dampers 51. A relief groove 631a is formed on the support portion 631 of the support member 63. The relief groove 631a is configured to accommodate at least one of the plurality of first vibration dampers 51. This ensures that the first vibration dampers 51 do not interfere with the sliding insertion of the support portion 631, while providing a vibration-damping effect on the compressor 30.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7. Further, the avoidance groove 631a may include a first avoidance groove 631b and a second avoidance groove 631c that are connected. The first avoidance groove 631b extends along the length direction of the support member 63, so that during the sliding process of the support member 63, the support portion 631 is prevented from interfering with the first vibration damping member 51 or the amount of interference is reduced.

[0090] The second avoidance groove 631c can be formed by a recessed groove sidewall of the first avoidance groove 631b. It is understood that the support member 63 slides relative to the mounting plate 53 to have an initial position and an end position. In the initial position, the end of the support portion 631 of the support member 63 is located at the notch of the slide groove 53a. In the end position, the end of the support portion 631 of the support member 63 abuts the bottom wall of the slide groove 53a. The notch of the second avoidance groove 631c is arranged opposite to the first vibration damper 51 in the width direction of the support member 63. The second avoidance groove 631c is configured to allow the first vibration damper 51 to pass through. In this way, the second avoidance groove 631c can avoid the first vibration damper 51 in the width direction of the support member 63, thereby preventing interference with the support portion 631 when the first vibration damper 51 deforms along the width direction of the support member 63.

[0091] Then, when the support member 63 is located between the initial position and the end position, the groove wall of the first avoidance groove 631b can limit the first vibration damping member 51 in the horizontal direction, so that the support member 63 can also limit the shaking of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10 in the horizontal direction.

[0092] In some structural forms, a handle position is further provided on the support portion 631. In this way, the staff can apply external force to the support portion 631 through the handle position to drive the support member 63 to slide relative to the mounting plate 53, which is convenient for the staff to operate and improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0093] In some embodiments, the thickness of the support member 63 is greater than or equal to the vertical distance between the mounting plate 53 and the base 31 of the compressor 30. Thus, when the support member 63 is slid onto the mounting plate 53 and the compressor 30 is mounted on the mounting plate 53, the weight of the compressor body 33 causes the base 31 to press against the first vibration damper 51, compressing the first vibration damper 51. This allows the support portion 631 of the support member 63 to support the base 31 of the compressor 30. It should be noted that the vertical distance between the mounting plate 53 and the base 31 of the compressor 30 refers to the distance between the mounting plate 53 and the base 31 of the compressor 30 when the support member 63 is not positioned between the base 31 of the compressor 30 and the mounting plate 53 and the compressor 30 is not compressing the first vibration damper 51. It should be noted that the thickness of the support member 63 referred to herein refers to the thickness of the support member 63 in the height direction of the outdoor unit 100 when the support member 63 is positioned between the compressor 30 and the mounting plate 53.

[0094] To enhance the overall support provided by the support member 63 to the compressor 30, as shown in FIG4 , in some embodiments, the projection of the center of mass of the compressor body 33 on the mounting plate 53 is positioned within the projection of the support member 63 on the mounting plate 53. With this arrangement, while the connector 61 is attached to the exterior of the compressor body 33, the support member 63 can provide overall support for the compressor body 33. Consequently, the combination of the connector 61 and the support member 63 can enhance the overall sway control effect on the compressor 30.

[0095] On this basis, in one example, the length of the support member 63 is greater than the projected length of the base 31 on the mounting plate 53. In this way, the end of the support member 63 facing away from the connecting member 61 is arranged beyond the base 31, so that the support member 63 can support the base 31 of the compressor 30 at all positions along its length, thereby further improving the effect of the support member 63 on limiting the relative shaking between the compressor 30 and the chassis structure 10 in the vertical direction.

[0096] In another example, the length of the support member 63 is equal to the projected length of the base 31 on the mounting plate 53. In this way, the end of the support member 63 facing away from the connecting member 61 will extend beyond the projected end of the base 31 on the mounting plate 53 and be flush. As a result, the support member 63 can support the base 31 of the compressor 30 at all positions along its length, thereby further improving the effect of the support member 63 in limiting the relative shaking between the compressor 30 and the chassis structure 10 in the vertical direction.

[0097] Referring to Figures 8 and 9 , in some embodiments, the first connection portion 611 defines a relief notch 611a that accommodates at least a portion of the base 31. The inner wall of the relief notch 611a engages the outer surface of the base 31 within the relief notch 611a, thereby limiting the horizontal movement of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10. It is understood that the inner wall of the relief notch 611a can engage the outer surface of the base 31, thereby achieving horizontal positioning of the first connection portion 611 against the base 31. This ensures connection stability while simplifying installation operations.

[0098] Please continue to refer to Figures 8 to 9. Further, the base 31 includes a base 311 and a plurality of connecting pins 313. The base 311 supports the body 33, the support member 63 is arranged between the base 311 and the mounting plate 53, and the plurality of connecting pins 313 are connected to the base 311 at intervals along the circumference of the base 311.

[0099] The avoidance gap 611a is used to accommodate one of the connecting legs 313. The connecting leg 313 includes a first step surface 3131 and a second step surface 3133 connected to each other. The first step surface 3131 faces upward in the vertical direction, and the second step surface 3133 is located below the first step surface 3131 and is oriented in the horizontal direction.

[0100] The inner wall of the avoidance notch 611a contacts the first stepped surface 3131 of the connecting leg 313 within the avoidance notch 611a, thereby limiting vertical movement of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10. Furthermore, the lower surface of the first connecting portion 611 contacts the second stepped surface 3133 of the connecting leg 313 within the avoidance notch 611a, thereby limiting horizontal movement of the compressor 30 relative to the chassis structure 10. In this way, the first connecting portion 611 not only limits relative movement between the compressor 30 and the chassis structure 10 in the horizontal direction, but also limits relative movement between the compressor 30 and the chassis structure 10 in the horizontal direction, thereby achieving better overall sway control.

[0101] Please refer to Figures 8 to 9. In some structural forms, the first connecting part 611, the stop part 613 and the second connecting part 615 are all constructed as a plate structure, and the three are an integrated structure. In this way, the connection firmness of the three can be further improved, so that the overall structural strength of the connecting member 61 is stronger. Of course, in other structural forms, the three can also be split structures and fixed by gluing, clamping, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0102] In some embodiments, the connector 61 further includes a reinforcement portion 617, which is connected to the end of the second connector 615 facing away from the stop portion 613 and is positioned against the chassis flange 13 (as shown in FIG4 ). In this way, the reinforcement portion 617 can improve the overall strength of the connector 61, thereby ensuring that the connector 61 has the effect of limiting sway.

[0103] Furthermore, the reinforcing portion 617 can be constructed as a plate structure and integrated with the first connecting portion 611, the stopper portion 613 and the second connecting portion 615. In this way, the strength of the connecting member 61 can be further improved and the number of assembly steps can be reduced.
