Any embodiment described herein as exemplary is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention. In the following description, details are set forth for the purpose of explanation. It will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not shown in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the invention with unnecessary detail. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles disclosed herein.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the main body of the present embodiment is an air conditioner, which includes a casing surrounded by a plurality of outer panels, and a condenser 2 disposed in the casing. Wherein the condenser 2 has a side end portion 21 defining a side profile thereof and a heat exchange tube for flowing a refrigerant medium, the heat exchange tube including a U-shaped bent tube 22 protruding from an end surface of the side end portion 21 to outside the side end portion 21.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3 in detail, in the present embodiment, the housing panel includes a panel body 1, a first limiting portion 11 is formed on the panel body 1, and the first limiting portion 11 includes a first limiting limb 111, a second limiting limb 112 and a third limiting limb 113 connected to each other; referring to fig. 4 and 5, after a portion of the structure of the panel body 1 is cut off, the connection between the condenser 2 and the panel body 1 is schematically illustrated, the first position-limiting limb 111 and the second position-limiting limb 112 are opposite to each other and are used for contacting opposite sides of the side end 21 and clamping the side end 21, and at least one third position-limiting limb 113 is provided for passing through a through hole enclosed by the end surfaces of the bent pipe 22 and the side end 21.

Referring to fig. 3 and 5 again, the first limit limb 111 and the second limit limb 112 jointly define a bayonet matched with the thickness of the side end 21 of the condenser 2, when assembling, an installer firstly moves the condenser 2 and the shell panel to a position to be assembled together, then inserts the upper part of the side end 21 of the condenser 2 into the bayonet, so as to roughly determine the position relationship between the upper part of the condenser 2 and the panel body, further simplify the installation steps, facilitate the assembly, and then connects the part of the panel body 1 below the first limit part 11 and the end plate at the lower half part of the side end 21 of the condenser 2 together by using screws, so as to complete the assembly.

Wherein, because the third spacing limb 113 penetrates in the middle of the through-hole that is enclosed by return bend 22 and side end 21, so in the assembly link, even if panel body 1 and the rest positions of condenser 2 do not carry out fixed connection, panel body 1 is connected with condenser 2 only through first spacing portion 11, when the side end 21 of condenser 2 has appeared along the removal of bayonet socket pull-out direction, third spacing limb 113 also can be spacing with return bend 22 or side end 21 butt, and avoid whole first spacing portion 11 to break away from side end 21 completely, and then effectively promoted the fastness of being connected between panel body 1 and the condenser 2, made things convenient for installer to carry out follow-up equipment.

It should be additionally noted that, in the present embodiment, both installation convenience and installation stability are considered, that is, in the present embodiment, the upper half portion of the side end portion 21 is connected to the panel body 1 through the first limiting portion 11, and the lower half portion of the side end portion 21 is still screwed to the panel body 1 through the end plate. The operator can also make the upper half part and the lower half part of the side end 21 respectively utilize the corresponding first limiting parts 11 to simultaneously establish connection with the panel body 1, which is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

It should be noted that the panel body 1 may be any one side panel of the air conditioner housing, for example, in another embodiment, the panel body 1 is a left side panel, and for example, in another embodiment, the panel body 1 is a right side panel, and the implementer may correspondingly select the panel body according to his or her own needs, which is not limited in the disclosure. Referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the panel body 1 is a front panel of an air conditioner casing, but is not limited thereto. The front panel is the main appearance of the air conditioner and has air outlet and other structure. It is understood that the side end 21 may be a left end or a right end of the condenser 2, and in the present embodiment, the side end 21 is a left end facing the front surface of the front panel corresponding to the panel body 1, and the left end is bent compared to the right end so as to be connected to the front panel.

It is understood that the first position-limiting limb 111, the second position-limiting limb 112 and the third position-limiting limb 113 may be in the form of a sheet as shown in the present embodiment, or may be configured into any shape such as a round bar, and the first position-limiting limb 111, the second position-limiting limb 112 and the third position-limiting limb 113 may be fixedly connected to each other through a connecting member, or the first position-limiting limb 111, the second position-limiting limb 112 and the third position-limiting limb 113 may be integrally formed as shown in the present embodiment. Wherein, integrated into one piece can promote the structure precision of first spacing limb 111, the spacing limb 112 of second and the spacing limb 113 of third and reduce the manufacturing degree of difficulty, conveniently implements large-scale production, and is more specific, in this embodiment, first spacing portion 11 that first spacing limb 111, the spacing limb 112 of second and the spacing limb 113 of third constitute is for the sheet metal construction with panel body 1 integrated into one piece.

It can also be understood that the technical effect of increasing the difficulty of disengaging the first position-limiting part 11 from the side end part 21 can be achieved only when the third position-limiting limb 113 penetrates into the through hole. Meanwhile, the practitioner may also specifically adjust the specific structure of the first limiting portion 11 to improve the connection firmness, for example, in another embodiment, the size of the joint portion of the first limiting limb 111 and the second limiting limb 112 for jointing the two sides of the side end portion 21 in the bayonet insertion and extraction directions is larger than the moving distance from the third limiting limb 113 to the bent tube 22 or the end surface of the side end portion 21, so that when the side end portion 21 moves relative to the first limiting portion 11 to make the third limiting limb 113 abut against the bent tube 22 or the side end portion 21, the first limiting limb 111 and the second limiting limb 112 still hold the side end portion 21. Set up like this and can further promote first spacing portion 11 and break away from in the degree of difficulty of side end 21, and then further promote the fastness of being connected between panel body 1 and the condenser 2, made things convenient for installer to install.

The number of the first position-limiting limb 111, the second position-limiting limb 112 and the third position-limiting limb 113 can be any number, for example, in another embodiment, the number of the first position-limiting limb 111, the second position-limiting limb 112 and the third position-limiting limb 113 is one.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in the present embodiment, the first limiting portion 11 includes three third limiting limbs 113, and it should be additionally noted that, for the solution that there are a plurality of third limiting limbs 113, only a part of the third limiting limbs 113 may pass through the through hole enclosed between the end surface of the end 21 of the condenser 2 and the elbow 22. For example, in the present embodiment, two third position-limiting limbs 113 pass through the through hole enclosed between the end 21 of the condenser 2 and the bent pipe 22, and the other third position-limiting limb 113 passes through the gap between the two adjacent bent pipes 22.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, at least one of the first and second limb restraints 111, 112 is plural, the first and second limb restraints 111, 112 are alternately arranged, and the adjacent first and second limb restraints 111, 112 are staggered. Compared with the scheme that the number of the first limiting limbs 111 and the second limiting limbs 112 is only one and the first limiting limbs 111 and the second limiting limbs 112 are arranged oppositely, the first limiting limbs 111 and the second limiting limbs 112 are arranged alternately and staggered with each other, more stable multi-point clamping can be formed, the connecting coverage of the first limiting part 11 to the side end part 21 can be effectively improved, and the connecting stability is more ideal.

More specifically, in this embodiment, the first position-limiting portion 11 includes a connecting arm, the connecting arm is connected to the panel body 1, and the connecting arm is bent at least once in the extending direction thereof to form the second position-limiting limb 112 and the third position-limiting limb 113. That is to say, in the embodiment, the panel body 1, the second limit limb 112 and the third limit limb 113 are directly connected, and through the above arrangement, the practitioner only needs to bend the connecting arm to form the second limit limb 112 and the third limit limb 113, and the processing is more convenient. In the present embodiment, the third position-limiting limb 113 has an abutting surface 113b for abutting against the end surface of the side end portion 21, and the third position-limiting limb 113 limits the displacement of the entire condenser 2 along the direction perpendicular to the end surface of the side end portion 21 toward the third position-limiting limb 113.

Meanwhile, considering that the third position-limiting limb 113 is always in contact with the elbow 22 after assembly, which is likely to affect the operation of the installer in the installation stage, in order to facilitate the installation of the installer, please refer to fig. 3 and 5, in this embodiment, the third position-limiting limb 113 has at least one recessed area 113a opposite to the elbow 22. The concave area 113a can avoid the elbow 22, so that the installer can conveniently perform operations such as pipe expansion on the elbow 22.

In addition, referring to fig. 1, the bayonet in the first limiting portion 11 of the present embodiment is mainly used for limiting the displacement of the panel and the side end portion 21 in the thickness direction of the condenser 2, that is, only the first limiting portion 11 is provided, and the side end portion 21 can move a certain distance in the up-down direction when the side end portion 21 is clamped between the first limiting limb 111 and the second limiting limb 112. In the embodiment, in order to further realize the spacing between the side end 21 and the panel body 1, the panel body 1 is further formed with a second spacing portion 12, the second spacing portion 12 is formed with a spacing hole 121, the spacing hole 121 is used for inserting the bent tube 22 along the direction in which the bent tube protrudes from the end surface of the side end 21, due to the arrangement of the spacing hole 121, when the side end 21 is clamped between the first spacing limb 111 and the second spacing limb 112, the condenser 2 and the side end 21 are in the preset relative position, and further the operation of aligning the screw hole of the end plate with the screw hole of the panel body 1 is omitted. Note that, the direction in which the bent tube 22 protrudes from the end surface of the side end portion 21 is perpendicular to the end surface of the side end portion 21.

For the above-mentioned limiting hole 121, the implementer may use the following as shown in this embodiment: the limiting hole 121 is slightly larger than the bent pipe 22, that is, a gap is left between the bent pipe 22 and the inner edge of the limiting hole 121, so that an installer can conveniently and finely adjust the position relationship between the condenser 2 and the panel body 1 in the later period, and the processing requirement on the limiting hole 121 is reduced. In another embodiment, the projection of the bent tube 22 and the hole 121 is in a shape corresponding to a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the bent tube 22 is inserted into the hole 121. In this embodiment, when the bent tube 22 is inserted into the position-limiting hole 121, the outer surface of the bent tube 22 is engaged with the inner edge of the position-limiting hole 121, so that the positioning accuracy can be improved, and the operator can select the position according to his/her needs.

In addition, for the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 12, the two portions may be directly connected, but considering that the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 12 respectively realize the limiting in two different directions, if the two portions are directly connected, the structure is complicated, the two portions need to be formed together, and the requirement on the processing technology is high, in detail, if the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 12 are directly connected, after the first limiting portion 11 is formed, the first limiting portion 11 needs to be punched again, which easily causes structural damage to the first limiting portion 11, or affects the structural accuracy of the first limiting portion 11. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first position-limiting portion 11 and the second position-limiting portion 12 are formed on the panel body 1 at a distance from each other. More specifically, the second limiting portion 12 is also a metal plate structure formed on the panel body 1. The first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 12 are arranged in a spaced mode, the structural complexity can be reduced, the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 12 can be formed in the same stage or different stages respectively, and large-scale production is convenient to implement.
