When the heat exchanger in the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in different operation modes, different heat exchange treatments are carried out on air, and if refrigeration is carried out, the heat exchanger in the indoor unit is used as an evaporator; in heating, the heat exchanger inside the indoor unit serves as a condenser, and based on that the heat exchanger itself can serve as both an evaporator and a condenser, the evaporator is taken as an example in the embodiment of the present invention, and the proposed evaporator end plate structure 100 is used for installing the evaporator 200.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, 2, and 4, the evaporator end plate structure 100 includes an end plate body 110, a first support portion 120, and a second support portion 130; the end plate body 110 is disposed at one end of the evaporator 200; the first supporting portion 120 is disposed on a side of the end plate body 110 away from the evaporator 200, and protrudes out of the end plate body 110; the second supporting portion 130 is disposed on a side of the end plate body 110 away from the evaporator 200, and protrudes out of the end plate body 110; the second support portion 130 is spaced apart from the first support portion 120.
It will be appreciated that the evaporator end plate structure 100 serves to fixedly mount the evaporator 200, and the evaporator 200 is assembled with the evaporator end plate structure 100 to form an evaporator assembly so as to be transported and produced as a single structure, while the evaporator end plate structure 100 serves to support and bear force during transportation or production to prevent damage due to contact between the evaporator 200 and other surrounding structures.
In this embodiment, the evaporator 200 is installed on the end plate body 110 in the evaporator end plate structure 100, and the end plate body 110 is located at one end of the evaporator 200, so that the end of the evaporator assembly provided with the end plate body 110 can be placed on a transportation table or a workbench in the transportation or production process, so as to support the evaporator 200. A first supporting part 120 and a second supporting part 130 are arranged on one side of the end plate body 110 far away from the evaporator 200, the first supporting part 120 and the second supporting part 130 are both arranged on the end plate body 110 and protrude out of the end plate body 110, so that when the evaporator assembly is in a transportation or production process, the first supporting part 120 and the second supporting part 130 are directly contacted with a transportation table or a working table, contact stress positions of the evaporator assembly and the transportation table or the working table are increased, and supporting positions of the evaporator assembly are increased; meanwhile, the first supporting part 120 and the second supporting part 130 are arranged at intervals, so that different supporting positions of the evaporator assembly are arranged at intervals, and the effect of enhancing the stability of the evaporator assembly through multi-point supporting is achieved.
It should be noted that the evaporator end plate structure 100 may be disposed at two opposite ends of the evaporator 200 in the length direction, or may be disposed at only one end of the evaporator 200 in the length direction, so that the evaporator end plate structure 100 can be placed on a transportation platform or a workbench downward during transportation or production of the evaporator assembly, so as to locate the evaporator 200 at a middle position, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the evaporator assembly from being skewed and touching the surrounding structure to damage the evaporator 200, and enhancing the safety of the evaporator assembly during transportation or production.

When the structure is a separate structure, the first supporting portion 120 and the second supporting portion 130 may be formed separately and then fixedly mounted to the end plate body 110 by means of bonding, snap-fit connection, or screw connection, so as to support the structure. It should be noted that the first supporting part 120 and the second supporting part 130 are not necessarily the same structure, and are not necessarily the same connection manner as the end plate body 110, and the specific shape and structure and connection structure with the end plate body 110 may be determined according to the structural layout or functional condition of the interior of the air conditioning indoor unit, and are not limited specifically herein. Optionally, when the evaporator assembly works in the air conditioner indoor unit, other structures such as a fan and the like can be further arranged in the indoor unit, and at this time, the first supporting part 120 can be provided with the mounting groove 121 for mounting related parts such as a motor and the like, so that the first supporting part 120 can have a function of mounting related parts such as a motor and the like, and the stability of the evaporator assembly in the transportation or production process can be enhanced. Of course, the mounting groove 121 may be provided on the second supporting portion 130, or the second supporting portion 130 may be a reinforcing structure or the like that enhances the strength of the end plate body 120.
It can be understood that the first supporting portion 120 and the second supporting portion 130 are disposed at an interval, may be disposed opposite to each other, and may also be disposed at an included angle. The first and second supporting parts 120 and 130 may be in point contact, surface contact, or line contact with the transport table or the work table.

In the evaporator end plate structure 100 of the technical scheme of the invention, the evaporator 200 is fixedly installed through the end plate body 110, the first supporting part 120 and the second supporting part 130 are arranged on one side of the end plate body 110 far away from the evaporator 200 to play a role of supporting the evaporator assembly in the transportation or production process, the first supporting part 120 and the second supporting part 130 are arranged at intervals, the supporting positions of the evaporator assembly are increased and are arranged at intervals, so that the effect of enhancing the stability of the evaporator assembly is achieved through the support at different positions, the evaporator assembly is more stable in the production or transportation process, the evaporator is prevented from being damaged due to the deflection of the evaporator assembly, and the safety of the evaporator assembly in the production or transportation process is improved.
In order to further improve the smoothness of the evaporator assembly during transportation or production, referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, in an embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the end of the first supporting portion 120 away from the end plate body 110 and the end plate body 110 is defined as H1, and the distance between the end of the second supporting portion 130 away from the end plate body 110 and the end plate body 110 is defined as H2, which satisfies the following requirements: H1-H2-H10 mm.
It can be understood that the first and second supports 120 and 130 function to support the evaporator assembly, and the end of the first support 120 away from the end plate body 110 and the end of the second support 130 away from the end plate body 110 are contact portions with a transportation table or a work table during transportation or production, and the contact portions may be one point or integrated by a plurality of points, so that the smaller the difference between the distance H1 between the end of the first support 120 and the end plate body 110 and the distance H2 between the end of the second support 130 and the end plate body 110, the smaller the inclination angle of the evaporator assembly, thereby making the evaporator assembly more stable when placed on the transportation table or the work table; or in the air conditioner, the smaller the difference between the distance H1 between the end of the first support 120 and the end plate body 110 and the distance H2 between the end of the second support 130 and the end plate body 110, the more stably the evaporator is fixed. In this embodiment, the distance H1 between the end of the first supporting portion 120 and the end plate body 110 and the distance H2 between the end of the second supporting portion 130 and the end plate body 110 satisfy | H1-H2 ≦ 10 mm. In practical applications, the distance difference | H1-H2 | may be 0, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm or 10 mm. It should be noted that the end of the first supporting portion 120 and the end of the second supporting portion 130 in this embodiment are preferably flush with each other, but the distance between the two may be subject to error in the actual manufacturing and molding process, and the error may be controlled within 10mm to ensure the balance of the evaporator assembly.
In an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 4, the end plate body 110 includes a plate body 111 and a surrounding edge 112; the plate body 111 is used for mounting the evaporator 200, and the first supporting part 120 is arranged on the plate body 111; the surrounding edge 112 is surrounded on the periphery of the plate body 111, and the second supporting portion 120 is disposed on the surrounding edge 112.
It is understood that the plate body 111 serves to mount and fix the evaporator 200, and the skirt 112 is provided at the periphery of the plate body 111 to serve to reinforce the plate body 111 or to block condensed water. The first supporting portion 120 is disposed on the plate body 111, and the second supporting portion 130 is disposed on the surrounding edge 112, so that the first supporting portion 120 and the second supporting portion 130 are spaced apart from each other, thereby increasing the stability of the evaporator assembly. Alternatively, the first support portion 120 may be disposed at a side portion of the plate body 111 or a middle portion of the plate body 111, and the second support portion 130 may be disposed at a position of the peripheral edge 112 opposite to the first support portion 120, or at an adjacent position, and the specific positions of the two may be determined according to actual circumstances.
Optionally, the plate body 111 has a first side edge (not shown) and other side edges except the first side edge; the first supporting portion 120 is disposed on a first side of the plate 111; the surrounding edge 112 is disposed on the other side of the plate 111. It can be understood that, in the embodiment, the first supporting portion 120 is disposed on a side portion of the plate body 111, and the second supporting portion 130 is disposed on the other side portion of the plate body 111, so that a distance between the first supporting portion 120 and the second supporting portion 130 is increased, thereby increasing a distance between the supporting positions, preventing the evaporator assembly from tilting, and making the evaporator assembly more stable on a transportation table or a workbench.
In practical applications, the specific structure of the second supporting portion 120 provided on the peripheral edge 112 may be determined according to practical situations, such as full coverage or partial coverage along the extending direction of the peripheral edge 112. When the second supporting portion 120 covers the whole along the extending direction of the surrounding edge 112, the supporting area of the second supporting portion 120 is increased, and the supporting function of the evaporator assembly is more stable; when the second supporting portion 120 partially covers the surrounding edge 112, the second supporting portion 120 may be a multi-position interval support or a single-position support, which can reduce the difficulty of forming the evaporator end plate structure 100.
Alternatively, the second supporting portion 120 may be an extension of the surrounding edge 112 in a direction away from the plate body 111, which simplifies the structure and the process of the forming process.

In the practical application process, in order to adapt to the internal space layout of the air-conditioning indoor unit and consider the heat exchange effect, the evaporator 200 can be set into a double-folding, triple-folding, quadruple-folding or quintuplet structure and the like, and the evaporator 200 is arranged at intervals through a plurality of mounting holes 101 in the embodiment so as to adapt to the installation of the evaporators 200 with different model structures, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the evaporator assembly.
Optionally, the mounting hole 101 is in a strip-shaped hole structure, and the hole wall shape of the mounting hole 101 may be adapted to the outer wall shape of the U-shaped tube 210, so that the waste of space is reduced while the U-shaped tube 210 is mounted.
Specifically, the plate body 111 is provided with a snap 113 at the mounting hole 101. In the actual installation process, the buckle 113 has certain plasticity, when the U-shaped pipe 210 of the evaporator 200 passes through the installation hole 101, the buckle 113 opens outwards and deforms to give way, and after the U-shaped pipe 210 completely passes through the installation hole 101, the buckle 113 rebounds to buckle the U-shaped pipe 210, so that the evaporator 200 is fixedly installed on the plate body 111.
In an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 7, the evaporator end plate structure 100 further includes a water collection tank 140, the water collection tank 140 includes two tank sidewalls 140a disposed opposite to each other and a tank bottom wall 140b connecting the two tank sidewalls 140a, and the two tank sidewalls 140a are respectively connected to the first supporting portion 120 and the surrounding edge 112.
