The indoor unit of an air conditioner contains an evaporator for heat exchange, and an evaporator bracket is installed at the end of the evaporator. In related technologies, the evaporator bracket can only fix components such as the evaporator; its structure and function are simple, and its degree of integration is low. Summary of the Invention

[0009] According to the evaporator bracket of the present disclosure, since the fixing part is used for the metal tube of the evaporator to pass through, and both the water guiding part and the fixing part are located on the side of the bracket body away from the evaporator, the condensate water accumulated at the fixing part can be gradually guided towards the lower end of the bracket body through the water guiding part, thereby avoiding the problem of water leakage from the indoor unit of the air conditioner due to disorderly dripping of condensate water.

[0041] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0042] The evaporator bracket, indoor air conditioning unit, and air conditioner of the present disclosure are described below with reference to Figures 1 to 10.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the evaporator bracket 2 of this embodiment includes a bracket body 21, a fixing part 22, a water guiding part 23, and a wiring part 25. The fixing part 22 is provided on the bracket body 21 for passing through the metal tube 11 of the evaporator 1. The water guiding part 23 and the fixing part 22 are both provided on the side of the bracket body 21 away from the evaporator 1. The water guiding part 23 extends toward the lower end of the bracket body 21. The wiring part 25 is provided on the bracket body 21 and is used to fix the wire harness.

[0044] According to the evaporator bracket 2 of the present disclosure, since the fixing part 22 is used to pass through the metal tube 11 of the evaporator 1, and both the water guiding part 23 and the fixing part 22 are located on the side of the bracket body 21 away from the evaporator 1, the condensate water accumulated at the fixing part 22 can be gradually guided towards the lower end of the bracket body 21 through the water guiding part 23, thereby avoiding the problem of disorderly dripping condensate water causing water leakage in the indoor unit of the air conditioner. On the other hand, since the wiring part 25 is located on the bracket body 21 and is used to fix the wiring harness, the problem of the wiring harness swaying relative to the evaporator bracket 2 can be avoided, which helps to reduce electrical safety hazards. Therefore, the evaporator bracket 2 of the present disclosure can fix the evaporator 1 and also has the functions of water guiding and wiring, and its integration level is high.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the water guiding part 23 includes a baffle plate 231. The baffle plate 231 protrudes towards the side of the bracket body 21 away from the evaporator 1, and is located on the outer edge of the bracket body 21, gradually extending towards the lower end of the bracket body 21. It is understood that when the evaporator 1 is operating, condensate will accumulate at the location where the metal pipe 11 passes through the fixing part 22. Since the baffle plate 231 is located on the outer edge of the bracket body 21, the condensate accumulated at the fixing part 22 and the end of the metal pipe 11 can drip onto the baffle plate 231. A drip tray 7 is typically provided below the evaporator bracket 2. The baffle plate 231 can guide the condensate downwards onto the drip tray 7, thereby preventing the air conditioner indoor unit from leaking due to condensate dripping directly downwards.

[0046] Therefore, the evaporator bracket 2 of the present disclosure can guide the condensate generated by the operation of the evaporator 1 through the baffle plate 231, so as to avoid the problem of water leakage of the indoor unit of the air conditioner and improve the user experience.

[0047] In the example disclosed herein, the size of the baffle plate 231 protruding from the support body 21 is larger than the size of the fixing part 22 protruding from the support body 21. It can be understood that the extension length of the baffle plate 231 is longer than the extension length of the fixing part 22, so that when the condensate at the end of the fixing part 22 drips downward, it can also be caught by the baffle plate 231, further improving the water blocking and guiding effect of the evaporator support 2.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1, the end of the metal tube 11 is located inside the fixing part 22. In other words, the end of the metal tube 11 does not extend beyond the end of the fixing part 22. On the one hand, this can prevent the metal tube 11 from being bumped during assembly; on the other hand, the condensate generated on the metal tube 11 can drip entirely onto the bracket body 21 and the baffle plate 231, thereby improving the condensate drainage effect.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the fixing part 22 includes a first fixing part 221 and a second fixing part 222. The structure formed by the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 is V-shaped, with the tip of the V-shape facing downwards. The first fixing part 221 is located on the front side of the second fixing part 222. The baffle plate 231 includes a first baffle plate 2311, which is located on the front side of the first fixing part 221 and extends along the length of the first fixing part 221. It should be noted that the front-rear direction of the evaporator bracket 2 is consistent with the front-rear direction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The front side of the first fixing part 221 is the front side of the evaporator bracket 2.

[0050] Since the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 form a V-shaped structure with the tip pointing downwards, the length direction of the first fixing part 221 gradually slopes downwards from front to back, and the first baffle plate 2311 also gradually slopes downwards from front to back. The first baffle plate 2311 is located on the front side of the first fixing part 221, thereby guiding the condensate dripping from the first fixing part 221.

[0051] In the example disclosed herein, the first baffle plate 2311 protrudes beyond the support body 21 by a larger dimension than the first fixing part 221 protrudes beyond the support body 21. Therefore, when condensate dripping downwards from the end of the first fixing part 221, it can also be caught by the first baffle plate 2311, further improving the water-blocking and flow-guiding effect of the evaporator support 2.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the baffle plate 231 further includes a second baffle plate 2312, which is disposed on the rear side of the second fixing part 222 and extends along the length direction of the second fixing part 222. Since the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 form a V-shaped structure with the tip pointing downwards, the length direction of the second fixing part 222 gradually slopes downwards from rear to front, and the second baffle plate 2312 also gradually slopes downwards from rear to front. In other words, the first baffle plate 2311 and the second baffle plate 2312 together form a V-shaped structure. The second baffle plate 2312 is disposed on the rear side of the second fixing part 222, thereby guiding the condensate dripping from the second fixing part 222.

[0053] In the example disclosed herein, the second baffle plate 2312 protrudes beyond the support body 21 by a larger dimension than the second fixing part 222 protrudes beyond the support body 21. Therefore, when condensate dripping downwards from the end of the second fixing part 222, it can also be caught by the second baffle plate 2312, further improving the water-blocking and flow-guiding effect of the evaporator support 2.

[0054] Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, at least one of the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 includes a water-blocking edge 223 and a plurality of fixing sleeves 224. The plurality of fixing sleeves 224 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and the metal tubes 11 are correspondingly inserted into the fixing sleeves 224. The water-blocking edge 223 protrudes from the side of the support body 21 away from the evaporator 1, and the water-blocking edge 223 is connected to the fixing sleeves 224 sequentially from top to bottom. Since the water-blocking edge 223 is connected to the fixing sleeves 224 sequentially from top to bottom, the water-blocking edge 223 can receive some of the condensate dripping from the fixing sleeves 224, the support body 21, or the metal tubes 11, and can guide the condensate to the water receiving tray 7 below the evaporator support 2, thereby further improving the water guiding effect of the evaporator support 2.

[0055] For example, only one of the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 is a connection structure between the water-blocking edge 223 and the fixing sleeve 224. Or, for another example, both the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 are connection structures between the water-blocking edge 223 and the fixing sleeve 224.

[0056] Specifically, both the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 include two rows of fixing sleeves 224, and each row of fixing sleeves 224 includes multiple fixing sleeves 224 arranged at intervals from top to bottom. Furthermore, each row of fixing sleeves 224 is provided with a corresponding water-blocking edge 223, and the water-blocking edge 223 connects multiple fixing sleeves 224 in series along the direction from top to bottom.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the water guiding part 23 includes a water guiding rib 232. The water guiding rib 232 protrudes towards the side of the support body 21 away from the evaporator 1, and the water guiding rib 232 is inclined and extends downward along the front-back direction of the support body 21. It can be understood that the condensate collected on the outer wall surface of the support body 21 (the wall surface away from the evaporator 1) can be collected downward to the position of the water guiding rib 232. Under the guiding action of the water guiding rib 232, the collected condensate can be guided to the lower end of the evaporator support 2, so that the condensate can fall into the water receiving tray 7. This can greatly reduce the probability of condensate dripping outside the water receiving tray 7 and improve the condensate guiding effect of the evaporator support 2.

[0058] For example, the water guide section 23 can be simply a water guide bar 232. Similarly, the air guide section can be simply a water baffle 231.

[0059] In the example disclosed herein, the water guiding part 23 includes both a water guiding rib 232 and a water baffle 231. It is understood that, with the synergistic action of the water guiding rib 232 and the water baffle 231, the condensate on the fixing part 22 and the bracket body 21 can be guided to the lower end of the evaporator bracket 2, thereby further avoiding the problem of water leakage in the indoor unit of the air conditioner caused by disorderly dripping of condensate.

[0060] Specifically, the water guide 232 is disposed between the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222. The upper end of the water guide 232 is arranged adjacent to the second fixing part 222, and the lower end of the water guide 232 extends toward the tip of the V-shape of the evaporator bracket 2.

[0061] Understandably, the water-guiding ribs 232 primarily guide the condensate on the outer wall of the support body 21, while the baffles 231 (first baffle 2311 and second baffle 2312) primarily guide the condensate generated on the fixing parts 22 (first fixing parts 221 and second fixing parts 222). That is, through the coordinated action of the water-guiding ribs 232 and the baffles 231, the condensate on the fixing parts 22 and the support body 21 can be guided to the lower end of the evaporator support 2. This ensures that the condensate falls precisely into the drip tray 7, thereby significantly reducing the probability of condensate dripping outside the drip tray 7 and improving the condensate guiding effect of the evaporator support 2.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the water guide 232 includes multiple bent segments 2321, with an included angle between adjacent bent segments 2321, and the multiple bent segments 2321 are connected sequentially from top to bottom. By designing the water guide 2 in the above-described structure, the evaporator support 2 of this disclosure can buffer the condensate flowing into the upper side of the water guide, reducing the downward impact force of the condensate and preventing the problem of excessive noise caused by condensate dripping onto the water receiving tray 7.

[0063] In other examples, the water guide bar 232 can also be a curved surface structure with an arc transition, or a straight bar structure that slopes downward in a single direction.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the evaporator support 2 further includes a first protruding edge 241 and a second protruding edge 242. Both the first and second protruding edges 241 are located on the side of the support body 21 facing the evaporator 1. The first protruding edge 241 is annular and is used to cooperate with the impeller 8. The second protruding edge 242 is arranged near the upper end of the support body 21 and is used to cooperate with the air guide frame 6. The first and second protruding edges 241 and 242 are spaced apart to form a drainage gap 243. The inventors of this disclosure have discovered through experimental research that condensate tends to accumulate on the upper side of the second protruding edge 242. By spaced apart the first and second protruding edges 241 and 242, a drainage gap 243 can be formed, allowing the condensate accumulated on the upper side of the second protruding edge 242 to drain into the lower part of the evaporator support 2. This improves the drainage smoothness of the evaporator support 2 and avoids the problem of disorderly dripping of condensate.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, the evaporator bracket 2 further includes a mounting portion 261 for mounting the heater 31. The wiring portion 25 includes a wiring groove 251. Both the wiring groove 251 and the mounting portion 261 are located on the side of the bracket body 21 adjacent to the evaporator 1. At least a portion of the heating wires 32 of the heater 31 are arranged in the wiring groove 251, thereby avoiding the problem of the heating wires 32 swaying relative to the evaporator bracket 2.

[0066] Specifically, as shown in Figures 4 and 9, the indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a heating module 3. The heating module 3 includes a heater 31 and a heating wire 32. The heater 31 and the electronic control module (not shown) are respectively arranged on both sides of the evaporator bracket 2 in the thickness direction. One end of the heating wire 32 is electrically connected to the heater 31 and arranged adjacent to the evaporator bracket 2. The other end of the heating wire 32 is electrically connected to the electronic control module. The heating wire 32 is fixed on the wiring part 25.

[0067] Since one end of the heating wire 32 is electrically connected to the heater 31 and arranged near the evaporator bracket 2, and the other end of the heating wire 32 is electrically connected to the electronic control module, the outlet position of the heater 31 can be closer to the electronic control module, reducing the length of the heating wire 32. Furthermore, since the heating wire 32 is fixed on the wiring section 25, it can be secured to prevent the heating wire 32 from wobbling relative to the evaporator bracket 2. Therefore, the evaporator bracket of this embodiment reduces the length of the heating wire 32 and secures its arrangement, thereby reducing electrical safety hazards and lowering costs.

[0068] Understandably, the outlet of heater 31 is located near the evaporator support 2. Since the electronic control module is located on the other side of the thickness direction of the evaporator support 2, the outlet of heater 31 can be placed closer to the electronic control module, thereby reducing the length of the heating wire 32. Compared with the solution of bypassing the evaporator 1 or the base 4, this disclosure can significantly reduce the length of the heating wire 32.

[0069] For example, the heating wire 32 can cross (bypass) or pass through the evaporator bracket 2 to connect to the electronic control module.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, the wiring section 25 includes a wiring groove 251, which is located on the side of the support body 21 adjacent to the evaporator 1. At least a portion of the heating wires 32 are arranged within the wiring groove 251. This allows the heating wires 32 arranged on the evaporator support 2 to be hidden, preventing interference between the heating wires 32 and other components (e.g., the impeller 8), and reducing the wiring space for the heating wires 32. It should be noted that the extension path of the wiring groove 251 can be designed according to the arrangement path of the heating wires 32, and this disclosure does not specifically limit the shape and length of the wiring groove 251.

[0071] To further improve the reliability of the heating wire 32's fixation, the wiring section 25 also includes a snap fastener (not shown). The snap fastener is located at the opening of the wiring groove 251, and the snap fastener and the wiring groove 251 together define a snap-fit ​​channel, in which the heating wire 32 is snapped into place. This prevents the heating wire 32 from coming out of the wiring groove 251, thus improving the reliability of the heating wire 32's fixation and facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0072] In other examples, the wiring section 25 also includes multiple wire clips arranged sequentially along the extension path of the heating wire 32, which engage with the heating wire 32 to fix the heating wire 32 to the evaporator bracket 2.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, the wiring section 25 further includes a wire outlet hole 252, which is located at one end of the wiring groove 251 away from the mounting section 261. The wire outlet hole 252 penetrates the evaporator bracket 2 along its thickness direction. It is understood that the heating wire 32 passes through the evaporator bracket 2 via the wire outlet hole 252 to connect with the electronic control module. This further shortens the arrangement length of the heating wire 32, and the wire outlet hole 252 can constrain the exit direction and position of the heating wire 32, thereby improving the secure installation of the heating wire 32.

[0074] To avoid air leakage or condensation infiltration at the outlet hole 252, the inner side of the outlet hole 252 can be abutted against the base 4 so that the base 4 blocks the inner side of the outlet hole 252 without affecting the normal conduction between the outlet hole 252 and the wiring channel 251, that is, the heating wire 32 can pass through the outlet hole 252 normally from the wiring channel 251.

[0075] In one example, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, the upper end of the wire outlet hole 252 has a notch 2521, which communicates with the wire outlet hole 252 and gradually widens from bottom to top. The heating wire 32 can be inserted into the wire outlet hole 252 through the notch 2521, thereby facilitating the assembly of the heating wire 32. In addition, since the notch 2521 gradually widens from bottom to top, it can provide guidance for the insertion of the heating wire 32, further improving the assembly efficiency of the heating wire 32.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the wiring section 25 further includes a wiring clip 253. The wiring clip 253 is located on the side of the evaporator bracket 2 facing away from the evaporator 1. The wiring clip 253 has a wire hole 2531, through which the heating wire 32 passes. It is understood that the heating wire 32, which passes through the outlet hole 252, is fixed by the wiring clip 253 before being extended into the electronic control module, in order to avoid the problem of the heating wire 32 wobbling relative to the evaporator bracket 2.

[0077] Specifically, the wiring clip 253 and the outlet hole 252 are arranged at intervals along the front-rear direction of the evaporator bracket 2. The heating wire 32 has a bent section 33, which is located between the outlet hole 252 and the wiring clip 253. The bent section 33 has a U-shaped structure and protrudes towards the lower end of the evaporator bracket 2. Understandably, the bent section 33 of the heating wire 32, constrained by the outlet hole 252 and the wiring clip 253, can closely adhere to the outer wall of the evaporator bracket 2. Because the bent section 33 of the heating wire 32 is U-shaped and protrudes towards the lower end of the evaporator bracket 2, the condensate generated on the evaporator bracket 2 can be guided downwards along the bent section 33, thereby improving the condensate drainage effect. On the other hand, because the heating wire 32 is configured as described above, condensate can be prevented from entering the electrical control module along the extension direction of the heating wire 32, which helps to reduce electrical safety hazards of the electrical control module.

[0078] In one example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the mounting part 261 is a protruding post that protrudes in a direction away from the heater 31. The end of the protruding post facing the heater 31 has a connector 2611. The heater 31 has a connector that is installed within the connector 2611. It is understood that the end of the heater 31 (the connector) is inserted into the connector 2611 on the evaporator bracket 2 to facilitate the installation and removal of the heater 31.

[0079] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7, the fixing part 22 includes a plurality of spaced fixing sleeves 224. The fixing sleeves 224 protrude toward the side of the support body 21 away from the evaporator 1. The fixing sleeves 224 are used to fix the metal tube 11 of the evaporator 1. The side of the evaporator support 2 away from the evaporator 1 is provided with a plurality of spaced support positions. The ends of the plurality of support positions are located in the same plane. The support position includes a first support position 271. At least one fixing sleeve 224 constitutes the first support position 271.

[0080] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the evaporator support 2 has a plurality of spaced support positions on the side of the evaporator 1 facing away from the evaporator 1, and the ends of the plurality of support positions are located in the same plane. Therefore, when the evaporator 1 is placed upright, the evaporator support 2 located at the end of the evaporator 1 can be supported by the plurality of support positions to ensure the stability of the evaporator 1 when it is upright, which is beneficial to the welding operation of the operator.

[0081] Understandably, having the ends of multiple support positions located in the same plane can improve the stability of the evaporator bracket 2 in contact with the ground. For example, there can be two, three, or more support positions.

[0082] Furthermore, since at least one fixing sleeve 224 constitutes the first support position 271, the fixing sleeve 224 can both fix the metal tube 11 of the evaporator 1 and provide auxiliary support for the upright position of the evaporator 1. This improves the integration of the evaporator bracket 2 and saves the arrangement space on the evaporator bracket 2. It is understood that, compared with the solution of setting a separate support position, the evaporator bracket 2 of the present disclosure can utilize the structure of the evaporator bracket 2 itself and does not occupy too much space on the evaporator bracket 2, thereby reducing the obstruction of condensate on the evaporator bracket 2, improving the condensate diversion effect on the evaporator bracket 2, and improving the integration of the evaporator bracket 2.

[0083] For example, the first support position 271 can be formed by only one fixing sleeve 224. Or, multiple fixing sleeves 224 can be used together to form the first support position 271.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the support position includes a second support position 272, and the evaporator bracket 2 also includes a bearing seat 263. The bearing seat 263 supports the end of the impeller 8 and protrudes towards the side of the bracket body 21 away from the evaporator 1 to form the second support position 272. It is understood that a bearing is installed inside the bearing seat 263, and the end of the impeller 8 is rotatably supported within the bearing of the bearing seat 263. The bearing seat 263 serves both to support the impeller 8 and to provide auxiliary support for the upright position of the evaporator 1. Therefore, the structure of the bearing seat 263 of the evaporator bracket 2 can be utilized without excessively occupying space on the evaporator bracket 2, resulting in a simple structural design and ease of manufacturing for the evaporator bracket 2.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7, the support position includes a third support position 273, and the evaporator bracket 2 also includes a baffle plate 231. The baffle plate 231 protrudes towards the side of the bracket body 21 away from the evaporator 1, and is located on the outer edge of the bracket body 21 and gradually extends towards the lower end of the bracket body 21. At least a portion of the baffle plate 231 constitutes the third support position 273. It can be understood that the baffle plate 231 serves two functions: guiding condensate and assisting in supporting the upright position of the evaporator 1. Thus, the structure of the baffle plate 231 of the evaporator bracket 2 can be utilized without occupying too much space on the evaporator bracket 2, making the structural design of the evaporator bracket 2 simple and easy to manufacture.

[0086] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the fixing part 22 includes a first fixing part 221 and a second fixing part 222. The structure formed by the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 is V-shaped, with the tip of the V-shape facing downwards. The first fixing part 221 is located on the front side of the second fixing part 222. Both the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 include multiple fixing sleeves 224. It should be noted that the front-to-back direction of the evaporator bracket 2 is consistent with the front-to-back direction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0087] The water baffle 231 includes a first water baffle 2311 and a second water baffle 2312. The first water baffle 2311 is located on the front side of the first fixing part 221 and extends along the length direction of the first fixing part 221. The second water baffle 2312 is located on the rear side of the second fixing part 222 and extends along the length direction of the second fixing part 222.

[0088] Since the first fixing part 221 and the second fixing part 222 form a V-shaped structure with the tip pointing downwards, the length direction of the first fixing part 221 gradually slopes downwards from front to back, and the first baffle plate 2311 also gradually slopes downwards from front to back. The first baffle plate 2311 is located on the front side of the first fixing part 221, thereby guiding the condensate dripping from the first fixing part 221. The length direction of the second fixing part 222 gradually slopes downwards from back to front, and the second baffle plate 2312 also gradually slopes downwards from back to front. In other words, the first baffle plate 2311 and the second baffle plate 2312 together form a V-shaped structure. The second baffle plate 2312 is located on the rear side of the second fixing part 222, thereby guiding the condensate dripping from the second fixing part 222.

[0089] In some embodiments, at least one of the first baffle plate 2311 and the second baffle plate 2312 constitutes the third support position 273.

[0090] For example, only the first baffle plate 2311 constitutes the third support position 273. Or, only the second baffle plate 2312 constitutes the third support position 273. Or, both the first baffle plate 2311 and the second baffle plate 2312 constitute the third support position 273.

[0091] It is understandable that the first baffle plate 2311 and the second baffle plate 2312 serve two purposes: guiding condensate and assisting in supporting the upright position of the evaporator 1. Therefore, the structure of the baffle plate 231 of the evaporator support 2 can be utilized without excessively occupying space on the evaporator support 2, resulting in a simple structural design and easy manufacturing of the evaporator support 2.

[0092] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the support includes a fourth support 274, and the evaporator bracket 2 further includes a boss 262. The boss 262 is disposed on the top of the bracket body 21 and arranged adjacent to the front side of the bracket body 21. The boss 262 protrudes towards the side of the bracket body 21 away from the evaporator 1 to form the fourth support 274. By adding the fourth support 274, the evaporator bracket 2 of the embodiments of this disclosure can make the support effect of the evaporator bracket 2 more stable than the support effect of three-point support (first support 271, second support 272 and third support 273).

[0093] Specifically, multiple fixing sleeves 224 are arranged sequentially along a preset V-shaped path, with the tip of the V-shape facing downwards. The first support position 271 is located near the lower end of the bracket body 21. This allows the first support position 271, the second support position 272, the third support position 273, and the fourth support position 274 to be roughly distributed at the four corners of the evaporator bracket 2, thereby improving the stability of the evaporator bracket 2 supporting the ground and further avoiding the problem of shaking caused by the pipe welding of the evaporator bracket 2.

[0094] In the examples disclosed herein, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the plurality of fixing sleeves 224 include a first fixing sleeve 2241 and several second fixing sleeves 2242. The protruding dimension of the first fixing sleeve 2241 is larger than the protruding dimension of the second fixing sleeves 2242. The first fixing sleeve 2241 is arranged adjacent to the lower end of the bracket body 21, and the first fixing sleeve 2241 constitutes the first support position 271. It can be understood that only one fixing sleeve 224 (the first fixing sleeve 2241) constitutes the first support position 271. Since the protruding dimensions of the several second fixing sleeves 2242 are smaller than the protruding dimensions of the first fixing sleeve 2241, the space occupied by the evaporator bracket 2 in the length direction of the air conditioner indoor unit can be reduced, which is beneficial to shortening the length dimension of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0095] In order to avoid the protruding structure of the first fixing sleeve 2241, the lower end of the first fixing sleeve 2241 is provided with an avoidance notch 22411. The avoidance notch 22411 is used to avoid the water receiving tray 7, thereby avoiding interference between the first fixing sleeve 2241 and the water receiving tray 7, and reducing the arrangement length of the water receiving tray 7.

[0096] As shown in Figure 10, another embodiment of the air conditioner indoor unit of this disclosure includes: an evaporator 1, an evaporator bracket 2, a frame 5, and a base 4. The end of the evaporator 1 has a metal tube 11. The evaporator bracket 2 is the evaporator bracket 2 of this disclosure. The evaporator bracket 2 is connected to the end of the evaporator 1, and the metal tube 11 passes through the fixing part 22. The frame 5 and the base 4 form an installation cavity. The evaporator 1 and the evaporator bracket 2 are disposed in the installation cavity. The frame 5 is provided with an air inlet 51 and an air outlet 52.

[0097] According to another embodiment of the air conditioner indoor unit of this disclosure, since the fixing part 22 is used to pass through the metal pipe 11 of the evaporator 1, and both the water guiding part 23 and the fixing part 22 are located on the side of the bracket body 21 away from the evaporator 1, the condensate water accumulated at the fixing part 22 can be gradually guided towards the lower end of the bracket body 21 through the water guiding part 23, so as to avoid the problem of water leakage caused by disorderly dripping of condensate water. On the other hand, since the wiring part 25 is located on the bracket body 21 and is used to fix the wire harness, the problem of the wire harness shaking relative to the evaporator bracket 2 can be avoided, which helps to reduce electrical safety hazards. Therefore, the evaporator bracket 2 of the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of this disclosure can not only fix the evaporator 1, but also has the functions of water guiding and wiring, and its integration level is high.

[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 and 10, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a water tray 7, which is disposed in the mounting cavity and located at the lower end of the evaporator bracket 2, and a first support position 271 is disposed at the upper end of the water tray 7. It is understood that, compared with the scheme of disposing the first support position 271 inside the water tray 7, the present disclosure can reduce the arrangement length of the water tray 7.

[0099] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the first fixing sleeve 2241 constitutes the first support position 271. The first fixing sleeve 2241 is arranged near the lower end of the support body 21 and located at the upper end of the water receiving tray 7. The lower end of the first fixing sleeve 2241 is provided with a clearance notch 22411, which is used to avoid interference between the first fixing sleeve 2241 and the water receiving tray 7. One or more second fixing sleeves 2242 may also be provided inside the water receiving tray 7; this disclosure does not limit this.

[0100] As shown in Figure 1, both the fixing part 22 and the water guiding part 23 extend downward toward the water receiving tray 7. As a result, the condensate collected on the first baffle plate 2311, the second baffle plate 2312, the water guiding rib 232, and the bracket body 21 can all be guided into the water receiving tray 7 to avoid the problem of condensate dripping onto the outside of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0101] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the baffle plate 231 (first baffle plate 2311) includes a first rib segment 23111 and a second rib segment 23112 connected together. The first rib segment 23111 is located at the lower end of the second rib segment 23112. The size of the first rib segment 23111 protruding from the fixing part 22 is smaller than the size of the second rib segment 23112 protruding from the fixing part 22. At least a portion of the first rib segment 23111 extends into the water receiving tray 7. It can be understood that the protruding size of the first rib segment 23111 is smaller than the protruding size of the second rib segment 23112. Therefore, when the evaporator bracket 2 is assembled with the water receiving tray 7, interference between the first baffle plate 2311 and the water receiving tray 7 can be avoided.

[0102] On the other hand, since the protrusion of the second rib segment 23112 is smaller, it is not necessary to increase the length of the water tray 7 to complete the assembly of the water tray 7 and the evaporator bracket 2, which is beneficial to reduce the length of the air conditioner.

[0103] In some embodiments, the end of the metal pipe 11 is disposed within the fixing part 22. In the thickness direction of the bracket body 21, the distance between the end of the baffle plate 231 and the end of the metal pipe 11 is A, where 5mm ≤ A ≤ 10mm. For example, the distance A can be 5mm, 7mm, 8mm, or 10mm. The inventors of this disclosure have discovered through experimental research that when the distance between the end of the baffle plate 231 and the end of the metal pipe 11 is within the above-mentioned range, the protruding size of the baffle plate 231 can be reduced while ensuring that all condensate dripping from the metal pipe 11 is diverted, thereby making the structure of the air conditioner indoor unit more compact.

[0104] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10, the air inlet 51 is located on the lower end face of the frame 5, the evaporator 1 protrudes towards the air inlet 51, and the front wall of the frame 5 is open to form an air outlet 52. Since the air inlet 51 is located on the lower end face of the frame 5 and the front wall of the frame 5 is open to form an air outlet 52, the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiments of this disclosure can be installed flush against the ceiling. It is understood that since ambient air does not need to enter the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit from directly above the frame 5, the distance between the air conditioner indoor unit and the ceiling can be greatly reduced or eliminated, thereby improving the utilization rate of indoor space, especially for rooms with low ceilings, effectively reducing or eliminating the feeling of crampedness. Therefore, the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiments of this disclosure has very low requirements for installation space; the installation space only needs to be large enough to accommodate the air conditioner indoor unit, without the need to leave air inlet or outlet space above the air conditioner indoor unit, thus expanding the applicability of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0105] For example, in the projection plane orthogonal to the length direction of the base 4, the cross-section of the evaporator 1 is V-shaped, and the tip of the evaporator 1 is arranged facing the air inlet 51. It can be understood that the airflow entering the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the air inlet 51 below the frame 5 can exchange heat with the V-shaped wall of the evaporator 1, and the airflow after heat exchange can be discharged through the air outlet 52, thereby improving the heat exchange effect of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0106] Another embodiment of the air conditioner disclosed herein includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, wherein the indoor unit is the type disclosed herein, and the indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit. The technical advantages of the air conditioner of this embodiment are the same as those of the evaporator bracket 2 and the indoor unit of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
