Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a fan hoisting device and an air conditioning unit. Background Technology
[0002] Fans regulate airflow and are therefore widely used in air conditioning units. Driven by cost considerations, most existing air conditioning units have reduced their overall size. However, fans, being high-risk components, are often placed in confined spaces, leading to significant drawbacks in later maintenance and installation. Therefore, finding ways to simplify and facilitate fan maintenance and installation within limited space has become a key research focus.
[0003] Existing air conditioning units typically use fan mounting structures for fan maintenance and installation. However, the existing fan mounting structures are not well-designed and cannot effectively solve the problems of difficult fan maintenance and installation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a fan hoisting device and an air conditioning unit to improve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] The embodiments of the present invention achieve the above objectives through the following technical solutions.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a wind turbine hoisting device, which includes a hanger support and a guide slide member, the guide slide member being assembled on the hanger support. The hanger includes a wind turbine mounting frame and a guide slide fitting connected to each other, the wind turbine mounting frame being located below the guide slide fitting, and the guide slide fitting being opposite to the guide slide member. A locking member can selectively lock or release the hanger and the hanger support; when the locking member locks the hanger and the hanger support, the hanger and the hanger support are relatively fixed; when the locking member releases the hanger and the hanger support, the guide slide fitting is slidably engaged with the guide slide member.
[0007] In some embodiments, the guide slide is rotatably mounted on the hanger support, and when the locking member releases the hanger from the hanger support, the guide slide mating part and the guide slide are in point contact or line contact.
[0008] In some embodiments, the guide slide includes a ball seat and a ball, the ball seat being assembled to the hanger support, and the ball being rotatably embedded in the ball seat; when the locking member releases the hanger from the hanger support, the guide slide mating member contacts the ball.
[0009] In some embodiments, the guide slide includes a support shaft and a bearing. The support shaft is mounted on the hanger support, and the inner ring of the bearing is fitted onto the support shaft. When the locking member releases the hanger from the hanger support, the guide slide contacts the outer ring of the bearing.
[0010] In some embodiments, the guide slide is located below the guide slide mating part. When the locking part locks the hanger and the hanger support, the guide slide and the guide slide mating part are spaced apart. When the locking part releases the hanger and the hanger support, the guide slide and the guide slide mating part come into contact.
[0011] In some embodiments, the guide slide is provided with a guide slide groove, and the guide slide mating part is partially embedded in the guide slide groove, with the guide slide mating part and the guide slide being in surface contact.
[0012] In some embodiments, the guide slide is fitted onto the inner side of the hanger support, and the guide slide groove faces the side of the guide slide fitting.
[0013] In some embodiments, the guide slide is fitted onto the inner bottom surface of the hanger support, and the guide slide groove faces the bottom surface of the guide slide fitting.
[0014] In some embodiments, the wind turbine hoisting device further includes a limiting member, which is assembled on the hanger support and is located on the path of the sliding guide member relative to the hanger support.
[0015] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioning unit, which includes the aforementioned fan hoisting device and a fan, with the fan mounted on a fan mounting frame.
[0016] The fan mounting device and air conditioning unit provided by this invention offer a fan mounting frame that provides some protection for the fan. Since the fan mounting frame is located below the guide sliding fitting, the center of gravity of the fan is lowered, helping to prevent the fan from tipping over when the hanger slides. Furthermore, the locking mechanism can selectively lock or release the hanger and hanger support. When the locking mechanism locks the hanger and hanger support, they are relatively fixed, thus preventing the hanger from detaching from the hanger support. When the locking mechanism releases the hanger and hanger support, the guide sliding fitting engages with the hanger, allowing the hanger to slide on the hanger support via the guide sliding fitting, facilitating the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the fan.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Please see Figure 1This invention provides an air conditioning unit 10, which can provide cooling to a computer room, helping to maintain a suitable temperature environment in the computer room. The air conditioning unit 10 includes a fan mounting device 11 and a fan 12. The fan 12 is installed on the fan mounting device 11. The fan 12 can regulate airflow and can be used as an exhaust fan or an intake fan. The fan 12 helps to ensure smooth airflow within the air conditioning unit 10.
[0031] There can be multiple fans 12, which can be arranged roughly along the length (X) and width (Y) of the air conditioning unit 10. In this way, multiple fans 12 help ensure the efficient operation of the air conditioning unit 10. Furthermore, when one of the fans 12 fails, the air conditioning unit 10 can still maintain normal operation using the remaining fans 12.
[0032] "Multiple" refers to two or more. For example, the number of fans 12 can be two, three, four or other numbers, depending on the situation.
[0033] It should be noted that the length direction X and the width direction Y can be set roughly perpendicularly, with the length direction X being the direction of the long side of the air conditioning unit 10 and the width direction Y being the direction of the short side of the air conditioning unit 10.
[0034] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the wind turbine hoisting device 11 includes a hanger support 111 and a hanger 112. The hanger 112 is installed on the hanger support 111. The hanger support 111 can provide certain support for the hanger 112, which helps to ensure the stability of the hanger 112.
[0035] In this embodiment, the fan 12 is mounted on the hanger 112, and the number of hangers 112 can be adjusted according to the number of fans 12. The top wall of the hanger 112 is provided with a through hole 1121. When the fan 12 is used as an air intake fan, air can enter the hanger 112 through the through hole 1121 to ensure the normal operation of the fan 12. When the fan 12 is mounted on the hanger 112, the fan 12 is opposite to the through hole 1121, which helps to ensure the high efficiency of air intake for the air conditioning unit 10.
[0036] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the fan hoisting device 11 may further include a ventilation housing 113, and the hanger support 111 may serve as the structure of the ventilation housing 113. Specifically, the ventilation housing 113 includes a housing body 1131 and a hanger support 111. The housing body 1131 is located above the hanger support 111. The housing body 1131 and the hanger support 111 can be integrated into a single unit through an integral molding process, which facilitates the manufacturing of the fan hoisting device 11.
[0037] The main body 1131 is provided with a vent 1132, through which outdoor air can enter the air conditioning unit 10. The main body 1131 is also provided with an air guide vent 1133, which is connected to the vent 1132 and is opposite to the through hole 1121. When the hanger 112 is installed on the hanger support 111, the air guide vent 1133 is opposite to the through hole 1121, and air can enter the main body 1131 from the vent 1132, enter the through hole 1121 opposite to the air guide vent 1133, and finally enter the fan 12 to maintain the normal operation of the fan 12.
[0038] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the hanger 112 includes a fan mounting frame 1121 and a guide sliding fitting 1122 connected to each other. The fan 12 is installed in the fan mounting frame 1121, so the fan mounting frame 1121 can provide a certain degree of protection for the fan 12.
[0039] The fan hoisting device 11 also includes a guide slide 114, which is mounted on the hanger support 111 and is opposite to the guide slide mating part 1122. The guide slide 114 allows the hanger 112 to slide on the hanger support 111, and the guide slide mating part 1122 can slide on the hanger support 111 through the guide slide 114. The fan mounting frame 1121 is located below the guide slide mating part 1122, which lowers the center of gravity of the fan 12 and helps prevent the fan 12 from tipping over when the hanger 112 slides. When the guide slide mating part 1122 slides on the hanger support 111 through the guide slide 114, the fan mounting frame 1121 and the fan 12 slide synchronously on the hanger support 111. This helps the hanger 112 move to a suitable position relative to the hanger support 111, facilitating the user's disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the fan 12. The number of guide slides 114 can be multiple. Multiple guide slides 114 can be respectively set on both sides of the width direction Y of the hanger support 111 and arranged along the length direction X of the hanger support 111. This helps to ensure the smooth sliding of the hanger 112 on the hanger support 111.
[0040] In this embodiment, the wind turbine hoisting device 11 further includes a locking member 115, which can selectively lock or release the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111. When the locking member 115 locks the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111 (e.g. Figure 5 As shown), the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111 are fixed relative to each other, which helps to prevent the hanger 112 from becoming loose from the hanger support 111. When the locking member 115 releases the hanger 112 from the hanger support 111 (as shown), Figure 6As shown, the guide sliding engagement 1122 and the guide sliding engagement 114 are slidably engaged, so that the hanger 112 can slide on the hanger support 111 through the guide sliding engagement 1122, which helps the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the fan 12.
[0041] The locking element 115 can be a bolt, screw, threaded rod, stud, or similar structure. Both the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111 have mounting holes, and the locking element 115 can be installed into these holes, thus fixing the hanger 112 and hanger support 111 relatively. In other embodiments, the locking element 115 can be a pin, tapered pin, elastic pin, shaft, or other structure.
[0042] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the guide slide 114 includes a ball seat 1141 and a ball 1142. The ball seat 1141 is assembled on the hanger support 111, and the ball 1142 is rotatably embedded in the ball seat 1141. When the locking member 115 releases the hanger 112 from the hanger support 111, the guide slide mating part 1122 contacts the ball 1142. At this time, the contact between the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 can be considered as point contact. Since the ball 1142 is rotatably embedded in the ball seat 1141, when the guide slide mating part 1122 contacts the ball 1142, the installer can push and pull the guide slide mating part 1122 to make the hanger 112 slide on the ball 1142. Thus, the mating method between the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 is simple, which is convenient for the installer and also convenient for manufacturing.
[0043] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the guide slide 114 includes a support shaft 1143 and a bearing 1144. The support shaft 1143 is mounted on the hanger support 111, and the inner ring of the bearing 1144 is fitted onto the support shaft 1143. When the locking member 15 releases the hanger 112 from the hanger support 111, the guide slide mating part 1122 contacts the outer ring of the bearing 1144. At this time, the contact between the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 can be considered as line contact. The bearing 1144 can roll relative to the support shaft 1143. When the guide slide mating part 1122 contacts the outer ring of the bearing 1144, the installer can push and pull the guide slide mating part 1122 to make the hanger 112 slide on the outer ring of the bearing 1144. Thus, the mating method between the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 is simple, which is convenient for installers and also convenient for manufacturing.
[0044] In this embodiment, the guide slide 114 is located below the guide slide mating part 1122. When the locking part 115 locks the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, the guide slide 114 and the guide slide mating part 1122 are spaced apart. This helps to reduce the contact wear between the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114, so that the guide slide 114 does not have to bear the pressure of the guide slide mating part 1122 for a long time, thereby increasing the service life of the guide slide 114. When the locking part 115 releases the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, the guide slide 114 comes into contact with the guide slide mating part 1122, so that the hanger 112 can move relative to the hanger support 111 to a suitable position.
[0045] In this embodiment, the wind turbine hoisting device 11 may further include a vibration damping pad 117, which is disposed between the guide slide 114 and the hanger support 111, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. The vibration damping pad 117 helps to reduce the abnormal noise caused by the resonance of the fan 12 during high-speed operation, and can also achieve a buffering effect to a certain extent.
[0046] In this embodiment, the guide slide 115 is rotatably mounted on the hanger support 112. When the locking part 115 releases the hanger 112 from the hanger support 111, the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 are in point contact or line contact, so as to reduce the friction between the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114.
[0047] In some embodiments, besides using the aforementioned ball 1142, bearing 1144, etc., to achieve sliding between the guide slide member 114 and the guide slide mating member 1122, other methods can also be used. For example, the guide slide member 114 and the guide slide mating member 1122 can also achieve sliding using a guide rail. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the guide slide 114 is provided with a guide slide groove 1145, which can extend approximately along the length direction X of the air conditioning unit 10, thus helping to ensure that the guide slide groove 1145 has sufficient sliding stroke. The guide slide mating part 1122 is partially embedded in the guide slide groove 1145, and the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 are in surface contact.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 9As shown, the guide slide 114 is fitted onto the inner side 1111 of the hanger support 111, and the guide slide groove 1145 faces the side of the guide slide mating part 1122. When the locking part 115 locks the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111 are relatively fixed; when the locking part 115 releases the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 slide together, and the guide slide mating part 1122 can slide relative to the guide slide groove 1145. The installer can push and pull the guide slide mating part 1122 to make the hanger 112 slide in the guide slide groove 1145. Thus, the mating method of the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 is simple, which is convenient for the installer and also convenient for manufacturing.
[0049] For example, such as Figure 10 As shown, the guide slide 114 is assembled on the inner bottom surface 1112 of the hanger support 111, and the guide slide groove 1145 faces the bottom surface of the guide slide mating part 1122. When the locking part 115 locks the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111 are relatively fixed; when the locking part 115 releases the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 slide together, and the guide slide mating part 1122 can slide relative to the guide slide groove 1145. The installer can push and pull the guide slide mating part 1122 to make the hanger 112 slide in the guide slide groove 1145. Thus, the mating method of the guide slide mating part 1122 and the guide slide 114 is simple, which is convenient for the installer and also convenient for manufacturing.
[0050] Please refer to the previous document. Figure 3 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the fan hoisting device 11 further includes a limiting member 116, which limits the sliding of the guide sliding member 1122, helping to prevent the guide sliding member 1122 from sliding out of the fan hoisting device 11. The limiting member 116 is assembled on the hanger support 111, and the limiting member 116 is located on the sliding path of the guide sliding member 1122 relative to the hanger support 111. The limiting member 116 can also play a positioning role. When the hanger 112 is installed on the hanger support 111, the guide sliding member 1122 can slide towards the position of the limiting member 116. When the guide sliding member 1122 abuts against the limiting member 116, the guide sliding member 1122 stops sliding. At this time, the air inlet 1121 of the hanger 112 is opposite to the air guide port 1133 of the ventilation housing 113. The hanger 112 and the hanger support 111 can be locked by the locking member 115. Thus, the limiting component 116 can limit the sliding mating component 1122 and also position the sliding mating component 1122, thereby facilitating the installation of the fan 12 by the installer.
[0051] In this embodiment, the air conditioning unit 10 may further include a ladder 13, a maintenance platform 14, and an inspection door 15, with the maintenance platform 14 located between the ladder 13 and the inspection door 15, such as... Figure 1 As shown. There are multiple access doors 15, which can be arranged sequentially along the width Y direction of the air conditioning unit 10. When the fan needs to be disassembled, installed, or repaired, the installer can enter the maintenance platform 14 through the ladder 13, open the corresponding access door 15 according to the actual situation, then remove the locking piece 115 installed on the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, slide the hanger 112 through the guide sliding fitting 1122, and finally remove the fan 12 from the fan mounting frame 1121.
[0052] It should be noted that the air conditioning unit 10 also includes components such as an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, and a throttling device. The compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator can be connected in sequence through pipes to form a refrigerant circuit for cooling, and the refrigerant can circulate in this circuit.
[0053] In summary, the fan hoisting device 11 and air conditioning unit 10 provided by the present invention, the fan mounting frame 1121 of the hanger 112 can provide a certain protection for the fan 12. Since the fan mounting frame 1121 is located below the guide sliding mating part 1122, the center of gravity of the fan 12 can be lowered, which helps to prevent the fan 12 from tipping over when the hanger 112 slides. In addition, the locking member 115 can selectively lock or release the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111. When the locking member 115 locks the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111 are relatively fixed, which helps to prevent the hanger 112 from coming loose from the hanger support 111. When the locking member 115 releases the hanger 112 and the hanger support 111, the guide sliding engagement 1122 and the guide sliding engagement 114 slide together, so that the hanger 112 can slide on the hanger support 111 through the guide sliding engagement 1122, which helps the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the fan 12.
