Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioner bracket structure technology, specifically to a bracket structure for an air conditioner evaporator that can be flexibly adjusted. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner evaporator is a type of evaporator. The function of an air conditioner evaporator is to utilize the fact that liquid low-temperature refrigerant is easily evaporated under low pressure, turning into vapor and absorbing heat from the medium being cooled to achieve the purpose of cooling. Depending on the type of medium being cooled, evaporators can be divided into evaporators that cool liquid refrigerants and evaporators that cool air. Evaporators that cool liquid refrigerants are used to cool liquid refrigerants such as water, brine, or ethylene glycol aqueous solution. Commonly used types include horizontal evaporators, vertical tube evaporators, and spiral tube evaporators. Evaporators that cool air have cooling coils and air coolers. Air conditioner evaporators are installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner using brackets.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. By setting up a long slide groove, a locking interface, a movable bent rod, a limiting block, a squeezing soft sheet, a locking round block, a locking round hole, a fixed bent rod, an arc-shaped end, a fixed arc-shaped block, and a limiting groove, the air conditioner evaporator is placed in the placement groove for installation.

Next, the locking round block and rubber block are inserted into the locking round hole. The squeezing soft sheet contacts the air conditioner evaporator to limit the external position of the evaporator. The fixed bent rod is rotated downwards, and the arc-shaped end is locked into the limiting groove of the fixed arc-shaped block, so that the outer arc block contacts the outside of the air conditioner evaporator. Because the movable bent rod is flexible and easy to fix, it can keep the air conditioner evaporator stable, reduce vibration during operation, and thus reduce the impact of noise on users. Pull the rubber block at the bottom of the movable bent rod outwards, and then slide the movable bent rod down along the long slide groove. Pull the arc-shaped end out of the limiting groove and rotate the fixed bent rod upwards to open the placement groove, making subsequent maintenance more convenient.

[0022] 2. By setting up a support bend plate, a limiting arc plate, a mounting groove, a diversion ramp, a limiting hole, a connecting plate, a drain pipe, a drain cut, a collection groove, and a guide arc plate, condensate flows to the middle of the mounting groove and the surface of the connecting plate. Part of it flows through the diversion ramp to the collection grooves on both sides and finally flows into the drain pipe. Part of it flows from the drain cut into the drain pipe and finally flows to the outside from the second end plate. This facilitates the drainage of condensate to the outside, reduces the accumulation of condensate, and improves the air conditioning performance. Attached Figure Description

[0041] like Figure 6-8 As shown, a support component 6 is installed inside the main body 1 of the bracket;

[0042] The support assembly 6 includes a support bend plate 601, a limiting arc plate 602, a mounting groove 603, a mounting strip 604, a diversion ramp 605, a limiting hole 606, a connecting plate 607, a drainage pipe 608, a drainage cut 609, a gathering groove 610, and a guide arc plate 611.

[0043] Several support plates 601 are embedded inside the main body 1. A limiting arc plate 602 is installed at the bottom end of the support plate 601. An installation groove 603 is opened on the inner side of the support plate 601. Several installation strips 604 are installed inside the installation groove 603. A diversion ramp 605 is installed at the bottom of the installation groove 603. Limiting holes 606 are opened at both ends of the bottom of the support plate 601. Connecting plates 607 are installed on both sides of the support plate 601. A drain pipe 608 is embedded inside the limiting hole 606.

The top of the drainage cut 609 is horizontally aligned with the top of the connecting plate 607 to facilitate drainage. Several gathering grooves 610 are equidistantly opened on the top of the drainage pipe 608. The top of the gathering grooves 610 is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 603. The top of the middle part of the diversion ramp 605 protrudes upward to facilitate the drainage of condensate to the position of the drainage pipe 608. A guide arc plate 611 is installed on the side of the limiting arc plate 602 corresponding to the position of the connecting plate 607. One end of the limiting arc plate 602 is connected to the inner side of the bracket body 1, and one end face of the guide arc plate 611 is connected to the outer side of the drainage pipe 608 to facilitate the installation of the guide arc plate 611.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of the present invention: The air conditioner evaporator is installed inside the placement slot 4 of the bracket body 1. The bottom of the air conditioner evaporator is in contact with the support bending plate 601, and the top of the support bending plate 601 is in contact with the extrusion soft sheet 505 and the outer arc block 516.

[0045] When installing the air conditioner evaporator, pull the arc-shaped end 515 of the fixed bending rod 513 out of the limiting groove 519, rotate the fixed bending rod 513 upward to open the placement groove 4, place the air conditioner evaporator inside the support bending plate 601 inside the placement groove 4 for installation, then insert the limiting block 504 at the end of the moving bending rod 503 into the snap-in interface 502, slide it along the long slide groove 501 to the appropriate position, and then insert the snap-in round block 506 and rubber block 507 at the bottom into the snap-in round hole 510 so that the extrusion soft sheet 505 contacts the air conditioner evaporator to limit the outside of the air conditioner evaporator;

[0046] Then, the fixed bending rod 513 is rotated downwards, and the arc-shaped end 515 is engaged in the limiting groove 519 of the fixed arc block 518, so that the outer arc block 516 contacts the outside of the air conditioner evaporator. The air conditioner evaporator is limited by the moving bending rod 503 and the fixed bending rod 513. The moving bending rod 503 can slide along the long slide groove 501 to adjust the position of the moving bending rod 503, thereby adjusting the fixed position of the air conditioner evaporator, which can keep the air conditioner evaporator stable, reduce vibration during operation, and reduce the impact of noise on users.

[0047] Furthermore, during subsequent maintenance, the rubber block 507 at the bottom of the movable bending rod 503 can be quickly pulled outward, and then the movable bending rod 503 can be removed by sliding along the long slide groove 501. Then, the arc-shaped end 515 can be pulled out from the limiting groove 519, and the fixed bending rod 513 can be rotated upward to open the placement groove 4, making subsequent maintenance more convenient.

[0048] The condensate produced during the use of the air conditioner evaporator flows downward along the top of the guide arc plate 611 and the support bend plate 601, and then flows to the middle of the mounting groove 603 and the surface of the connecting plate 607. The condensate in the mounting groove 603 flows through the diversion ramp 605 to the collection grooves 610 on both sides and finally flows into the drain pipe 608. The condensate on the surface of the connecting plate 607 flows from the drain cut 609 into the drain pipe 608, and finally flows to the outside from the second end plate 3. This facilitates the drainage of condensate to the outside, reduces the accumulation of condensate, and improves the air conditioner's performance.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
