[0002] In existing technologies, during the manufacturing process of ceiling-mounted water pumps, inspection holes are typically provided on the water pump mounting plate to test the functionality of the water level switch before assembly. After testing, the inspection hole is manually sealed with a separate cover. However, existing covers are usually fixed in place for one time and cannot be removed later, which is detrimental to product maintenance and after-sales testing. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water pump installation component and its ceiling-mounted unit, in order to solve the problem that in existing technologies, the detection cover plate used for detecting water level switches on the ceiling-mounted unit is usually fixed once and cannot be disassembled later, which is not conducive to product maintenance and after-sales testing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A water pump mounting assembly, installed on a ceiling-mounted unit, includes:

[0006] The pump housing has a mounting cavity for mounting the pump body and an inspection hole for visually inspecting the water level switch.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a water pump mounting assembly for installation on a ceiling-mounted machine, including a water pump housing 1, a cover plate 2, and a snap-fit ​​assembly; the water pump housing 1 forms a mounting cavity 101 for mounting the water pump body and an inspection hole 102 for visually inspecting the water level switch; the cover plate 2 is rotatably disposed at the inspection hole 102 to open or close the inspection hole 102; the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a first snap-fit ​​part disposed on one side edge of the cover plate 2 and a second snap-fit ​​part disposed in the mounting cavity 101, the first snap-fit ​​part snapping into the second snap-fit ​​part to lock the cover plate 2 and the inspection hole 102 on opposite sides; wherein, the rotation angle between the cover plate 2 and the inspection hole 102 is 0-90°.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, the operator can directly visually inspect or functionally test the water level switch on the water pump through the inspection hole 102 by opening the cover plate 2, without disassembling the entire water pump housing 1, thus improving inspection efficiency. After the inspection is completed, the operator can rotate the cover plate 2 to the closed position, covering the inspection hole 102, and fix the cover plate 2 in place through the snap-fit ​​engagement of the first and second snap-fit ​​parts. If maintenance or re-inspection of the water level switch is required, the operator only needs to rotate and open the cover plate 2 to re-enter the inspection hole 102 for inspection or operation, which is very convenient.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2-3 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, the first snap-fit ​​part includes a snap-fit ​​3, and the second snap-fit ​​part includes a snap-fit ​​plate 4. The snap-fit ​​3 extends toward the inspection hole 102 and snaps into the snap-fit ​​plate 4. When it is necessary to close the inspection hole 102, the snap-fit ​​3 will undergo elastic or tough deformation due to the squeezing of the inner wall of the inspection hole 102 during the insertion process, and shrink inward. Until the snap-fit ​​3 passes through the inspection hole 102 and aligns with the position of the snap-fit ​​plate 4, it returns to its original shape and snaps into the snap-fit ​​plate 4, thereby realizing the quick installation and stable fixation of the cover plate 2.

[0039] And, as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first latching part further includes a protrusion 21 surrounding the cover plate 2, and the buckle 3 is disposed on the protrusion 21. The second latching part further includes a groove 5 for concealing the protrusion 21. The groove 5 ensures that the cover plate 2 remains flush with the outer surface of the water pump housing 1 when closed, improving aesthetics and protective effect. Simultaneously, the side of the cover plate 2 opposite to the buckle 3 has a recess 22, which is slightly lower than the outer surface of the cover plate 2. By providing the recess 22, operators can easily apply force by placing their fingers against the recess 22 when installing or opening the cover plate 2, thereby achieving the opening or closing operation of the cover plate 2.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​part includes two snap fasteners 3, which are symmetrically arranged on the protrusion 21 of the cover plate 2. By setting two snap fasteners 3, a more uniform snap-fit ​​force distribution can be achieved, improving snap-fit ​​stability and preventing the cover plate 2 from shaking or loosening due to unilateral force, thereby further improving the tightness and reliability of the fit between the cover plate 2 and the water pump housing 1.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1-5As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the pump housing 1 includes a mounting plate 11 and a side panel 12 formed around the periphery of the mounting plate 11. The inspection hole 102 is provided on the side panel 12. In this embodiment, the side panel 12 is a semi-enclosed structure; however, in other embodiments, a ring-shaped enclosed structure may also be used. A semi-enclosed structure is preferred, as it facilitates the installation and disassembly of the pump body and improves the overall fixation between the pump housing 1 and the ceiling-mounted unit, thus enhancing structural stability and ease of installation.

[0042] Based on the above solutions, such as Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a positioning structure 6, which is used to achieve pre-positioning with the ceiling machine and support the water pump housing 1. The positioning structure 6 allows for quick alignment and assembly with the mating structure inside the ceiling machine, improving installation accuracy and preventing offset or misalignment. Of course, in another embodiment, the mounting plate 11 and / or the surrounding plate may also be provided with positioning structures 6 to further improve installation accuracy.

[0043] It is understandable that the positioning mechanism can be a combination of positioning pin and positioning hole or insertion plate and slot, or it can be replaced by a structure of card block and card hole, or a structure of card hook and card slot, or a magnetic attraction structure. There are no specific limitations here, as long as it can meet the pre-positioning requirements and ensure a certain sealing performance.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 111 for mounting the water pump body; the side panel 12 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 121 for mounting on the ceiling machine, and a drain pipe 13 for connecting to the water outlet of the water pump body. Since the drain pipe 13 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump body and connects the inner and outer spaces of the water pump housing 1, when the water pump body draws water from the water receiving tray, the water flows from the water receiving tray into the water pump body and is pumped out of the water pump housing 1 by the pumping action of the water pump body. The fixing holes 111 and mounting holes 121 are used for fasteners to pass through to fix the water pump body and the ceiling machine, respectively, and the fasteners can be screws, bolts, or rivets. Of course, in another embodiment, the side panel 12 and the ceiling machine can also be fixedly connected in other ways, such as by an adhesive layer or a welded layer connection.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drain pipe 13 can be installed on the side panel 12 as an independent component, or the drain pipe 13 can be integrally formed on the side panel 12. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the drain pipe 13 and the water pump housing 1 are integrally formed. Thus, the integrally formed structure not only ensures the structural and performance stability of the drain pipe 13 and the water pump housing 1, but also facilitates molding and manufacturing, and eliminates unnecessary assembly parts and connection processes, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the drain pipe 13 and the water pump housing 1, and ensuring the reliability of the connection between the drain pipe 13 and the water pump housing 1. Furthermore, the integrally formed structure has higher overall strength and stability, is more convenient to assemble, and has a longer service life.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the drain pipe 13 has a connecting portion 131 located inside the pump housing 1, and the pump body and the drain pipe 13 are connected by a connecting pipe. Specifically, the connecting pipe is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 131, thereby connecting the outlet of the pump body and the drain pipe 13. It can be understood that since the drain pipe 13 is located outside the pump housing 1, while the pump body is located inside the pump housing 1, the installation of the connecting pipe is relatively difficult. Therefore, by providing the connecting portion 131, which extends into the interior of the pump housing 1, installation is facilitated.
