Abstract

A fluid pump assembly includes a fluid pump and a fixation shell accommodating the fluid pump. The fluid pump includes a pipe connection structure at an end portion of the fluid pump and a first positioning structure. The fixation shell has a closed end and an open end opposite to the closed end, and includes a second positioning structure engaged with the first positioning structure to position the pipe connection structure to correspond to the open end of the fixation shell.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .- 17 . (canceled) 
     
     
         18 . A fluid pump assembly comprising:
 a fluid pump including:
 a pipe connection structure at an end portion of the fluid pump; and 
 a first positioning structure; and 
   a fixation shell accommodating the fluid pump;   wherein:
 the fixation shell has a closed end and an open end opposite to the closed end; and 
 the fixation shell includes a second positioning structure engaged with the first positioning structure to position the pipe connection structure to correspond to the open end of the fixation shell. 
   
     
     
         19 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 18 , wherein:
 a cross section of the end portion of the fluid pump is constructed in a non-circular shape and has at least one corner; and   the end portion of the fluid pump is formed as the first positioning structure.   
     
     
         20 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 19 , wherein:
 the second positioning structure is formed as a positioning groove; and   the second positioning structure is shaped to match the first positioning structure.   
     
     
         21 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 18 , wherein:
 the fixation shell includes a first shell and a second shell that are opposite to each other in a radial direction of the fluid pump;   an accommodation space is formed between the first shell and the second shell, the accommodation space being configured to accommodate the fluid pump; and   the second positioning structure is formed at the first shell and/or the second shell.   
     
     
         22 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 21 , wherein:
 the accommodation space is formed between a first surface of the first shell and a second surface of the second shell; and   a wiring clip is provided on the first surface and/or the second surface.   
     
     
         23 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 21 , wherein the first shell and the second shell are fit with each other by a positioning assembly. 
     
     
         24 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 21 , wherein the first shell and the second shell are fixedly connected to each other by a threaded connector. 
     
     
         25 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 18 , wherein the fixation shell is provided with a support rib configured to support the fluid pump. 
     
     
         26 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 18 , further comprising:
 a buffer member arranged around the fluid pump and accommodated in the fixation shell.   
     
     
         27 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 18 , wherein the fixation shell has a heat dissipation region. 
     
     
         28 . The fluid pump assembly according to  claim 27 , wherein:
 the heat dissipation region is formed by a heat dissipation grille; and   a distance between adjacent grille bars of the heat dissipation grille is smaller than or equal to 6 mm.   
     
     
         29 . A window air conditioner comprising:
 an indoor unit including a fluid pump assembly, the fluid pump assembly includes:
 a fluid pump including:
 a pipe connection structure at an end portion of the fluid pump; and 
 a first positioning structure; and 
 
 a fixation shell accommodating the fluid pump; 
 wherein:
 the fixation shell has a closed end and an open end opposite to the closed end; and 
 the fixation shell includes a second positioning structure engaged with the first positioning structure to position the pipe connection structure to correspond to the open end of the fixation shell; and 
 
   an outdoor unit.   
     
     
         30 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 29 , wherein:
 the indoor unit further includes:
 a heat exchanger; and 
 a base including a first side plate and a second side plate that are located at two sides of the heat exchanger, respectively, and configured to support the heat exchanger, 
   the first side plate having a through hole;   the fixation shell is mounted at the base;   the open end of the fixation shell is arranged facing towards the first side plate; and   the pipe connection structure of the fluid pump passes through the through hole.   
     
     
         31 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 30 , wherein:
 the base is provided with a first guide structure; and   the fixation shell includes a second guide structure engaged with the first guide structure to guide the fixation shell to be mounted relative to the base in a direction from the second side plate to the first side plate.   
     
     
         32 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 31 , wherein:
 the first guide structure is formed as a guide plate;   the second guide structure is formed as a guide groove engaged with the guide plate; and   the guide plate includes a first plate member and a second plate member sequentially arranged in a direction from the first side plate to the second side plate, the second plate member extending obliquely towards a center of the base relative to the first plate member.   
     
     
         33 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 32 , wherein the guide plate further includes a stop member located at a side of the first plate member facing away from the second plate member, the stop member being configured to prevent the guide groove from disengaging from the guide plate from the side of the guide plate at which the stop member is arranged. 
     
     
         34 . The window air conditioner according to  claim 30 , wherein:
 the base is further provided with at least two fixation structures; and   the base is connected to the fixation shell by the at least two fixation structures.
