It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the embodiments.

It is to be noted that all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs, unless otherwise indicated.

In the present invention, the orientation words used, such as "up and down", are generally referred to in the directions shown in the drawings, or in the vertical, vertical or gravity directions, without being otherwise described. Similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left and right" are generally for the left and right as shown in the drawing; "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside of the contour of each component, but the above orientation Words are not intended to limit the invention.

In order to solve the problem that the motor assembly of the air conditioner in the prior art is difficult to disassemble, the present application provides an air conditioner.

As shown in FIG. 1, the air conditioner of the present invention comprises a base 10, a motor assembly 20 and a side plate 50. The motor assembly 20 is disposed on the base 10, and the side plate 50 is located at one end of the air conditioner when the side plate 50 is removed. After that, the motor assembly 20 can be directly removed. That is to say, in the disassembly direction of the motor assembly 20, no other components are provided. When the side panel 50 is removed, no other components may interfere with the disassembly of the motor assembly, thereby causing the worker to disassemble and repair the motor assembly. It is easier and simpler, which reduces the workload of the staff and brings great convenience to the after-sales maintenance and inspection of the air conditioner.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the air conditioner of this embodiment, the disassembly direction of the motor unit 20 is axially detached from one side of the motor unit 20. In this way, the worker can remove the motor assembly 20 from the air conditioner along the axial direction of the motor assembly 20, so that the worker can disassemble or install the motor assembly 20 more easily, and does not move with other structures in the air conditioner. put one's oar in.

Taking the wall-hanging machine as an example, usually, the electrical box 30 is disposed beside the motor assembly 20, which causes the disassembly of the motor assembly 20 if the electrical box 30 is disposed at an unreasonable position. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the electrical box 30 at a position to avoid the disassembly direction of the motor assembly 20.

In the air conditioner of the embodiment, the position of the motor assembly 20 and the electrical box 30 on the air conditioner is re-arranged, and the installation position of the electrical box 30 is not in the disassembly direction of the motor assembly 20, and the electrical box 30 and the motor assembly 20 are Each maintenance and disassembly does not interfere with each other.
