[0059] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 24, the present application proposes an air conditioner, which is a device for adjusting and controlling the temperature, humidity, flow rate, etc. of environmental air in a building or a closed space by artificial means.
[0060] The air conditioner can be an all-in-one air conditioner or a split air conditioner. The all-in-one air conditioner includes a window air conditioner, and the split air conditioner includes a split wall-mounted air conditioner, a split floor-standing air conditioner, etc. The split air conditioner includes an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit, and the split air conditioner connects an indoor-side heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit and an outdoor-side heat exchanger of the air conditioner outdoor unit using a flexible connecting member and injects refrigerant into a refrigerant circuit before shipment. In this way, when a user installs the device by himself / herself, it is only necessary to fix the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit, respectively, without assembling a refrigerant pipe and injecting refrigerant, thereby reducing installation difficulty and realizing personal installation by the user. The flexible connecting member includes a refrigerant hose, and / or an electric wire, and / or a drain hose.
[0061] The air conditioner has an air conditioner cabinet 100. The air conditioner cabinet 100 has a receiving cavity, and the air conditioner cabinet 100 comprises a chassis 200 and a back panel 300 which together surround the receiving cavity. At present, the chassis 200 and the back panel 300 lack effective positioning, which affects the assembly efficiency of the chassis 200 and the back panel 300.
[0062] To this end, the air conditioner cabinet 100 is also provided. Without loss of generality, the air conditioner is a split-type air conditioner, and the air conditioner indoor unit and / or the air conditioner outdoor unit are described by using the air conditioner cabinet 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the air conditioner cabinet 100 is an air conditioner cabinet 100 of an air conditioner outdoor unit. The structure in FIG. 1 is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. For ease of description, the air conditioner cabinet 100 of the air conditioner outdoor unit is described below.
[0063] The air conditioner cabinet 100 comprises the chassis 200 and the back panel 300. The back panel 300 comprises two first side walls 210 extending in the front-rear direction, and the two first side walls 210 are arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction, that is, one first side wall 210 is a left side wall of the air conditioner cabinet 100, and the other first side wall 210 is a right side wall of the air conditioner cabinet 100. The first side wall 210 comprises a hanging section 211 and a first positioning section 212 connected in the front-rear direction, and the first positioning section 212 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 213. As shown in FIG. 9, the first positioning section 212 is arranged in front of the hanging section 211. The structure shown in FIG. 9 is merely exemplary, and in some alternative embodiments, the hanging section 211 can also be arranged in front of the first positioning section 212.
[0064] In addition, the back panel 300 comprises a back plate 310 and two first side plates 320 respectively connected to the back plate 310, and one first side plate 320 corresponds to one first side wall 210. As shown in FIG. 3, the two first side plates 320 of the back panel 300 extend forward from the back plate 310 and are in a half-enclosing shape. The first side plate 320 is provided with a hanging portion 340 which is hung on the hanging section 211, and the hanging portion 340 cooperates with the hanging section 211 to realize the positioning of the back panel 300 and the chassis 200 in the up-down direction and the left-right direction. The hanging portion 340 abuts against the first positioning protrusion 213 in the front-rear direction, so as to realize the positioning of the back panel 300 and the chassis 200 in the front-rear direction. In this way, the back panel 300 and the chassis 200 are positioned in three directions, which is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency of the back panel 300 and the chassis 200.
[0065] In an embodiment, an assembler can hang the hanging portion 340 of the back panel 300 on the hanging section 211, and then move the back panel 300 in the front-rear direction to make the hanging portion 340 abut against the first positioning protrusion 213 in the front-rear direction. In this way, the positioning and assembly of the back panel 300 and the chassis 200 are completed. This process is simple and convenient, which is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency of the back panel 300 and the chassis 200.
[0066] As shown in FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the first positioning section 212 is bent to form a first positioning protrusion 213. In this way, the thickness of the first positioning section 212 can be uniform, which on one hand saves the material needed to manufacture the chassis 200, and on the other hand makes the chassis 200 lighter, facilitating the handling of the air conditioner cabinet 100. In some alternative embodiments, the first positioning protrusion 213 is arranged on the inner side or the outer side of the first positioning section 212.
[0067] As shown in FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the first positioning section 212 is bent towards the inside of the chassis 200. In this way, the space inside the chassis 200 is fully utilized, so that the chassis 200 does not increase the floor area due to the first positioning section 212, and the structure of the air conditioner cabinet 100 is more compact, facilitating the miniaturization of the air conditioner cabinet 100. In some alternative embodiments, the first positioning section 212 is bent towards the outside of the chassis 200, so that there is enough installation space for the components carried by the chassis 200.
[0068] As shown in FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the hanging section 211 is arranged in front of the first positioning section 212, and the hanging portion 340 abuts against the first positioning protrusion 213 in the rear direction. In some alternative embodiments, the hanging section 211 is arranged behind the first positioning section 212, and the hanging portion 340 abuts against the first positioning protrusion 213 in the front direction.
[0069] As shown in FIGS. 15 and 17, in an embodiment, the air conditioner cabinet 100 further comprises a front panel 400 provided with a second positioning protrusion 411, and the chassis 200 further comprises a front side wall 220 connecting the two first side walls 210, the front side wall 220 being provided with a positioning gap 221, and the second positioning protrusion 411 is adapted to be clamped with the positioning gap 221. In this way, the positioning and assembly of the front panel 400 and the chassis 200 in the up-down direction and the left-right direction are achieved. In addition, the front side wall 220 and the front panel 400 abut against each other in the front-rear direction. In this way, the positioning and assembly of the front panel 400 and the chassis 200 in the front-rear direction are achieved. In this way, the front panel 400 and the chassis 200 are positioned in three directions, which facilitates the assembly efficiency of the front panel 400 and the chassis 200.
[0070] As shown in FIG. 17, in an embodiment, the distance between the left and right sides of the second positioning protrusion 411 gradually decreases in the downward direction, and the distance between the left and right sides of the positioning gap 221 gradually decreases in the downward direction. In this way, the second positioning protrusion 411 is easier to enter the positioning gap 221 in the up-down direction, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the front panel 400 and the chassis 200. It should be noted that the present application does not limit the assembly process of the air conditioner cabinet 100, and the assembler can also make the second positioning protrusion 411 enter the positioning gap 221 in the front-rear direction. In some alternative embodiments, the distance between the left and right sides of the second positioning protrusion 411 does not change in the downward direction, and the distance between the left and right sides of the positioning gap 221 does not change in the downward direction.
[0071] As shown in FIG. 17, in an embodiment, the second positioning protrusion 411 has a bottom wall connected to the left and right sides of the positioning protrusion, the normal direction of the bottom wall is the up-down direction, and the bottom wall cooperates with the positioning gap 221. In this way, on the one hand, the second positioning protrusion 411 is not too sharp, and on the other hand, the rear panel 300 and the chassis 200 have higher positioning accuracy in the up-down direction. Since the positioning gap 221 cooperates with the second positioning protrusion 411, the positioning gap 221 is also adjusted adaptively, which will not be described in detail here. In some alternative embodiments, the lower edges of the left and right sides of the second positioning protrusion 411 are connected.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 17, in an embodiment, the second positioning protrusion 411 at least partially protrudes from the positioning gap 221 in the front-rear direction. In this way, it is convenient for the second positioning protrusion 411 to cooperate with the positioning gap 221 during the assembly of the air conditioner cabinet 100.
[0073] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 17, in an embodiment, the second positioning protrusion 411 is provided with a plurality of second positioning protrusions 411, the plurality of second positioning protrusions 411 are arranged in the left-right direction, the positioning gap 221 is provided with a plurality of positioning gaps 221, the plurality of positioning gaps 221 are arranged in the left-right direction, and one second positioning protrusion 411 corresponds to one positioning gap 221.
[0074] As shown in FIGS. 15 and 20, in an embodiment, the front panel 400 includes a front plate 410 provided with a second positioning protrusion 411 and two second side plates 420 respectively connected to the front plate 410. A second side plate 420 corresponds to a first side wall 210, and the two second side plates 420 of the front panel 400 extend from the front plate 410 towards the back, forming a half-enclosing structure. A second side plate 420 corresponds to a first side plate 320, and the first side plate 320 and the second side plate 420 are connected to form a side plate of the air conditioner cabinet 100. The front panel 400 and the rear panel 300 are connected to form a side wall panel 500 of the air conditioner cabinet 100, and the side wall panel 500 has two ports in the up-down direction, one of which is provided with a top cover 600, and the other is provided with a bottom plate 200. The side wall panel 500 is formed by connecting the front panel 400 and the rear panel 300, so that the side wall panel 500 has fewer components to assemble, which is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner cabinet 100.
[0075] In an embodiment, the front side wall 220 of the bottom plate 200 is provided with a positioning gap 221, and the front plate 410 is provided with a second positioning protrusion 411 that is adapted to be clamped with the positioning gap 221. This makes the assembly process of the positioning gap 221 and the second positioning protrusion 411 more easily observed by the assembler, and the assembler's line of sight is not blocked by the second side plate 420, so that the assembly process of the front panel 400 and the bottom plate 200 is easier, which is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency of the front panel 400 and the bottom plate 200.
[0076] As shown in FIG. 21, in an embodiment, the first side plate 320 is provided with a positioning channel 330 extending in the front-back direction, and the second side plate 420 is provided with a third positioning protrusion 430, and a positioning channel 330 cooperates with a third positioning protrusion 430. The third positioning protrusion 430 extends in the front-back direction. When assembling the front panel 400 and the rear panel 300, the third positioning protrusion 430 can be inserted into the positioning channel 330, which is very simple. The positioning channel 330 is provided with an upper side wall and a lower side wall that abut against the third positioning protrusion 430. In this way, the positioning of the front panel 400 and the rear panel 300 in the up-down direction is achieved. In some alternative embodiments, the second side plate 420 can be provided with a positioning channel 330 extending in the front-back direction, and the first side plate 320 can be provided with a third positioning protrusion 430, and a positioning channel 330 cooperates with a third positioning protrusion 430.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 21, in an embodiment, in the rearward direction, the positioning channel 330 comprises a guiding section 332 and a second positioning section 331 connected with the guiding section 332, the guiding section 332 is gradually expanded forward from the second positioning section 331, and the second positioning section 331 is adapted to be inserted into the third positioning protrusion 430. It should be noted that the guiding section 332 is gradually expanded forward from the second positioning section 331, which means that the distance between the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the guiding section 332 gradually increases in the forward direction. In this way, the second positioning protrusion 411 is facilitated to enter the guiding section 332 and is adapted to be inserted into the second positioning section 331 through the guiding section 332.
[0078] As shown in FIG. 21, in an embodiment, the first side plate 320 and the second side plate 420 are connected through the first clamping structure 710. In this way, the first side plate 320 and the second side plate 420 are stably connected.

During the process of inserting the second positioning protrusion 411 into the positioning channel 330, the first clamping portion 720 and the second clamping portion 730 are moved close to each other in the front-rear direction until the first clamping portion 720 and the second clamping portion 730 are clamped, that is, the clamping of the first clamping portion 720 and the second clamping portion 730 is completed during the process of inserting the second positioning protrusion 411 into the positioning channel 330, which is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner case 100. The structure shown in FIG. 21 is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. In some alternative embodiments, the first clamping portion 720 can be arranged on the first side plate 320, and the second clamping portion 730 is arranged on the second side plate 420; or, the first side plate 320 and the second side plate 420 are connected through screws.
[0079] As shown in FIG. 20, in an embodiment, the front panel 400 and the rear panel 300 are connected to form a side panel 500, and the side panel 500 is described above and will not be repeated here. The air conditioner cabinet 100 further comprises a top cover 600, and the top cover 600 and the side panel 500 are connected through a second clamping structure 740. In this way, the top cover 600 and the side panel 500 are stably connected. As shown in FIG. 23, the front panel 400 and the side panel are respectively connected to the top cover 600 through the second clamping structure 740. In this way, the top cover 600 and the front panel 400 are stably connected, and the top cover 600 and the rear panel 300 are stably connected. In addition, the second clamping structure 740 comprises a third clamping part 750 and a fourth clamping part 760 provided with a second clamping hole, the third clamping part 750 is clamped in the second clamping hole, the third clamping part 750 is arranged on the top cover 600, and the fourth clamping part 760 is arranged on the side panel 500. It should be pointed out that the structure of FIG. 23 is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. In some alternative embodiments, the third clamping part 750 is arranged on the side panel 500, and the fourth clamping part 760 is arranged on the top cover 600; or, the side panel 500 and the top cover 600 are connected through insertion or screws.
[0080] In an embodiment, a plurality of second clamping structures 740 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the side panel 500. In this way, the stability of the connection between the top cover 600 and the side panel 500 is further improved.
[0081] In an embodiment, the inner circumferential surface of the side panel 500 abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the top cover 600, that is, the side panel 500 is sleeved on the top cover 600. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the outer circumferential surface of the side panel 500 abuts against the inner circumferential surface of the top cover 600, that is, the top cover 600 is sleeved on the side panel 500.
[0082] In an embodiment, the material of the top cover 600 is configured as PP material. The PP material refers to polypropylene material. In this way, the top cover 600 is lightened. In some alternative embodiments, the material of the top cover 600 is configured as metal.
[0083] When the material of the top cover 600 is configured as PP material, the top cover 600 is easy to deform, and the connection of the side panel 500 through the second clamping structure 740 can inhibit the deformation of the top cover 600.
