Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner side panel, an installation method and a hanging machine having the same. Background Art

[0002] With the development of social economy, air conditioning has become an important part of people's office and life. Traditional light commercial dual-purpose air conditioners can be installed in two ways: seated and suspended. Therefore, their structure is different from that of conventional air conditioner indoor units. The left and right side panels of conventional air conditioner indoor units are mostly produced in an integrated manner with the middle frame of the air conditioner, while dual-purpose air conditioners usually do not have a middle frame structure. The supporting role of the left and right side panels is more important. To ensure their stability, the left and right side panels are mostly fixed to the base with screws. Since the left and right side panels are thinner panels, they are not easy to position when installed with the base, and the screw holes are mostly concentrated at the bottom or edge of the left and right side panels, which are easy to deform when fixed. The deformation causes more screw holes to be difficult to align during installation, affecting the installation efficiency of the side panels, and then affecting the production efficiency of the seated air conditioner. Summary of the invention

[0003] The problem solved by the present invention is that in the prior art, the installation of the side panels of the crane is slow and the production efficiency is low.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air-conditioning side panel, an installation method and a base crane having the same. A side panel folding edge for installation guidance is set on the side panel, and a limiting portion is set at the lower part of the side panel. The limiting portion cooperates with the limiting portion on the base folding edge to limit, thereby realizing rapid guiding and limiting of the side panel during installation, greatly improving the installation speed of the side panel and the production efficiency of the base crane.

[0005] The air conditioner side panel disclosed in the present invention comprises a side panel body, on which a side panel folding edge is arranged, and the side panel folding edge is fixedly connected to a back panel and is used for positioning and guiding when the air conditioner side panel is installed.

[0006] The inner side described in the present invention is the side facing the inside of the air conditioner main body in the traditional sense, and the outer side described in the present invention is the side facing the outside of the air conditioner main body in the traditional sense. The air conditioner side panel described in the present invention, through the side panel folding edge set at the rear end of the side panel main body, the side panel folding edge can be quickly connected with the air conditioner back panel when the side panel is installed, and form a positioning. The guiding and positioning function of the side panel folding edge and the air conditioner back panel is utilized to achieve rapid positioning and guiding of the air conditioner side panel during installation.

[0007] Furthermore, the side panel folding edge is arranged at the rear end of the side panel body, and the side panel folding edge is bent toward the inner side of the air conditioner side panel.

[0008] The tail end is the end of the air-conditioning side panel close to the back panel, and the head end is the end of the air-conditioning side panel away from the back panel. The side panel folded edge is bent toward the inside of the air-conditioning side panel, which is more conducive to its positioning and limiting with the back panel.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting portion is provided on the side plate body, and the limiting portion is used for being fixedly connected to the base.

[0010] This setting is achieved by arranging a limiting part on the side panel body and a limiting part on the base. The cooperation of the two can realize the rapid limiting of the air-conditioning side panel. At the same time, the connection between the limiting part and the limiting part can prevent the deformation of the air-conditioning side panel during tightening, which is conducive to the rapid tightening of the air-conditioning side panel, shortens the installation time of the air-conditioning side panel, and improves production efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, a wiring hole is provided on the side panel body, and the wiring hole is arranged at a position close to the tail end, and the wiring hole is used for routing the air conditioner through pipes.

[0012] In the installation environment of the crane, the wiring can be routed through the back panel wire holes in some cases, and in some cases the wiring needs to be routed through the air-conditioning side end cover. The wiring holes are set to cooperate with the wiring of the air-conditioning side end cover. They are set on the side panel body near the tail end to make them closer to the wire holes on the back panel, which is conducive to the use of one of the routing methods.

[0013] Furthermore, a fixing portion is also provided on the side plate body, and the fixing portion is used for fixing and supporting the water guide plate of the air conditioner evaporator.

[0014] Due to the dual-purpose performance of the crane, water guide plates need to be set at both ends of the evaporator in the air-conditioning body to facilitate the drainage of condensed water when the crane is in a suspended state. Since the wind inside the crane first enters the cross-flow fan blades and then passes through the evaporator for heat exchange and is finally discharged through the air guide assembly, the evaporator of the crane is often set near the head end inside the air-conditioning body. Therefore, the fixing portion can be set near the head end of the side panel body.

[0015] Furthermore, the fixing portion includes a support plate arranged on the inner side of the side plate body, the support plate is used to fix the water receiving pan sealing bracket, and / or the support plate is used to fix and support the air conditioner evaporator water guide plate.

[0016] The fixing portion may further include a through hole, and the support plate may be formed by bending the plate at the through hole toward the inner side of the side plate body, and the support plate may be used to fit and fix the air conditioner water receiving pan sealing support plate and / or fix and support the air conditioner evaporator water guide plate.

[0017] Furthermore, a shaft sleeve mounting hole is provided on the side plate body, the shaft sleeve mounting hole is arranged at a position close to the head end, and the shaft sleeve mounting hole is used to set the air-conditioning air guide motor.

[0018] Since the wind passing through the evaporator is directly discharged through the air guide assembly, the air guide assembly is arranged near the head end, and the shaft sleeve mounting hole can arrange the air-conditioning air guide motor on the outside of the side panel body, thereby making full use of the space between the air-conditioning side panel and the air-conditioning side end cover.

[0019] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a method for installing an air conditioner side panel, wherein the air conditioner side panel is installed on an air conditioner main body and comprises the air conditioner side panel as described above, and the installation steps are as follows:

[0020] ST1: Preliminary positioning of the air conditioner side panel;

[0021] Bring the side panel of the air conditioner close to the main body of the air conditioner, and adjust the side panel folded edge to connect and position with the back panel;

[0022] ST2: Slide the air conditioner side panel to the installation position;

[0023] The installation position refers to the position where the air conditioner side panel only needs to be fixed to complete the installation. The air conditioner side panel is moved downward by using the guiding effect of the side panel folding edge and the back panel until the lower end of the air conditioner side panel abuts against the base, at which time the head end of the air conditioner side panel is limited by the top cover plate on the air conditioner body;

[0024] ST3: Fasten the air conditioner side panel;

[0025] The air conditioner side panel is matched and fastened with the top cover panel, the base and the back panel to complete the installation.

[0026] This installation method can make full use of the side panel folding edge on the air-conditioning side panel to realize the rapid positioning of the air-conditioning side panel and the back panel, and then utilize the limiting part on the air-conditioning side panel and the limiting part on the base folding edge to cooperate with the limiting part and the top cover plate limiting, which is conducive to the rapid positioning of the fastening part and prevents the deformation of the air-conditioning side panel during fastening, thereby realizing the rapid assembly of the air-conditioning side panel.

[0027] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a crane, which includes an air-conditioning main body, and at least one end of the air-conditioning main body is provided with the air-conditioning side panel as described above.

[0028] The advantages of the seat crane and the above-mentioned air-conditioning side panel over the prior art are the same, which will not be repeated here.

[0029] Furthermore, a top cover plate is provided on the air conditioner main body, and the top cover plate is used for fixing and limiting the front end of the air conditioner side panel.

[0030] Since there is no middle frame structure in the crane, the air-conditioning side panels are mainly used to increase the supporting strength of the crane, so the supporting strength of the air-conditioning side panels is more important. The top cover plate is used to limit and fix the head end of the side end cover, which can effectively enhance the connection strength of the air-conditioning side panels.

[0031] Furthermore, a base is provided at the lower part of the air conditioner body, a base fold is provided on the base, a limiting portion is provided on the base fold, and the limiting portion is fixedly connected to the side panel body.

[0032] The limiting part is fixedly connected to the side panel body to achieve the limiting of the air conditioner side panel and improve the assembly speed of the seat crane.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner side panel and the base hoist thereof described in the present invention have the following advantages: the present invention adds a side panel folding edge at the rear end of the air conditioner side panel, and cooperates with the back panel to achieve rapid positioning and guiding during the installation process. At the same time, through the matching limiting setting of the limiting part on the side panel body and the limiting part on the base folding edge, as well as the limiting setting of the top cover plate, the side panel body is quickly limited, the fixing device is quickly aligned, and the deformation of the air conditioner side panel during the fixing process is prevented, which is beneficial to the rapid fixing and installation of the air conditioner side panel and greatly improves the production efficiency of the base hoist. The air conditioner side panel has a simple structure and is easy to install and operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
