[0027] To further understand the present invention, embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with examples. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of the present invention, and not for limiting the present invention.

[0028] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a sealing structure for the opening of the outer casing of a nuclear-grade air conditioning unit, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a metal cylinder 1, a first metal sheet 2, a second metal sheet 3, a third metal sheet 4, and an air conditioning unit casing 5;

[0029] The air conditioning unit casing 5 has a round hole, through which the metal cylinder 1 passes;

[0030] The outer end of the metal cylinder 1 is flush with the outer surface of the air conditioning unit housing 5, and the opening at its inner end protrudes from the inner surface of the air conditioning unit housing 5.

[0031] The outer diameter of the metal cylinder 1 is preferably 30-40 mm.

[0032] The first metal sheet 2 has a central hole and is fitted onto the metal cylinder 1. The contact surfaces of the metal cylinder 1 and the first metal sheet 2 are welded together.

[0033] The first metal sheet 2 is sealed to the inner surface of the air conditioning unit casing 5;

[0034] The second metal sheet 3 has a round hole in the center, and the second metal sheet 3 is sealed to the outer surface of the air conditioning unit housing 5;

[0035] The third metal sheet 4 covers the circular hole in the center of the second metal sheet 3 and is sealed to the second metal sheet 3.

[0036] The following is a detailed description of the opening and sealing structure of the outer casing of a nuclear-grade air conditioning unit.

[0037] The metal cylinder 1 passes through the circular hole opened on the air conditioner unit housing 5. During installation, it is inserted from the inner surface of the air conditioner unit housing 3 towards the outer surface until the metal cylinder 1 contacts the outer surface of the air conditioner unit housing 5.

[0038] The outer end of the metal cylinder 1 is flush with the outer surface of the air conditioning unit housing 5, and the opening at its inner end protrudes from the inner surface of the air conditioning unit housing 5.

[0039] The opening at the inner end of the metal cylinder 1 is higher than the inner surface of the air conditioning unit outer shell 5, which can prevent the insulation material in the interlayer of the air conditioning unit outer shell from being blown into the factory.

[0040] To ensure a tight seal, there is no gap between the metal cylinder 1 and the inner wall of the circular hole in the air conditioning unit housing 5, ensuring close contact.

[0041] The first metal sheet 2 has a central hole and is fitted onto the metal cylinder 1. The contact surfaces of the metal cylinder 1 and the first metal sheet 2 are welded together.

[0042] The first metal sheet 2 is sealed to the inner surface of the air conditioning unit housing 5; specifically, the first metal sheet is connected to the inner surface of the air conditioning unit housing 5 by rivets 9, and a first sealing gasket 6 is provided between the first metal sheet 2 and the inner surface of the air conditioning unit housing 5.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the rivets 9 are evenly distributed along the outer edge of the first metal sheet 2. Preferably, there are 8 to 12 rivets 9.

[0049] The second metal sheet 3 can be of various shapes, preferably square. The second metal sheet 3 provides a fixing point for the third metal sheet 4, preventing the third metal sheet 4 from frequently opening and closing and damaging the air conditioning unit casing 5.

[0050] The third metal sheet 4 covers the circular hole in the center of the second metal sheet 3 and is sealed to the second metal sheet 3.

[0051] Specifically, the third metal sheet 4 and the second metal sheet 3 are connected by bolts, and a third sealing gasket 8 is provided between the third metal sheet 4 and the second metal sheet 3.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the bolts 10 are evenly distributed on a circumference.

[0053] The bolts 10 are preferably provided in numbers of 6 to 10.

[0054] Whenever it is necessary to measure the internal parameters of the air conditioning unit, simply remove the third metal plate 4, and insert the measuring instrument probe through the inside of the metal cylinder 1 to measure the parameters from the outside of the unit.

[0055] After the parameters are measured, the third metal sheet 4 can be reinstalled onto the second metal sheet 4. However, the third sealing gasket 8 between the two needs to be replaced in time to ensure the airtightness of the air conditioning unit and ventilation system.

[0056] The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention.
