[0029] The related art obtains corrosion data of air conditioner components by using an online monitoring probe. However, the surface of the probe is prone to have condensate water or impurities such as corrosion products during the test process, which affects the measurement results and accuracy of the probe.

[0030] Therefore, the present application provides a clamp 100 for realizing a drainage function, so as to remove the condensate water or impurities such as corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300, thereby improving the measurement results and accuracy of the probe 300. The structure of the clamp 100 will be described below in the form of an embodiment.

[0031] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 8 The clamp 100 includes a mounting frame 10 and a water guide 20. The mounting frame 10 is provided with a mounting clamping groove 11 for mounting the probe 300. The water guide 20 is arranged on one side of the mounting frame 10 and below the mounting clamping groove 11. The water guide 20 is provided with a water guide groove 21, and the water guide groove 21 and the mounting clamping groove 11 form a communication space for collecting and discharging the impurities falling from the surface of the probe 300 under the action of air flow.

[0032] The mounting frame 10 has opposite first and second side edges 12 and 13 in the width direction. The water guide groove 21 has a first water outlet end 21a and a second water outlet end 21b. The first water outlet end 21a is flush with or protrudes from the first side edge 12. The second water outlet end 21b is flush with or protrudes from the second side edge 13.

[0033] In this embodiment, the clamp 100 is applied to an air conditioner 1000. The air conditioner 1000 further includes an air conditioner body 200. The air conditioner body 200 is provided with an air duct 230. The air conditioner body 200 is further provided with an evaporator, a condenser 250, a compressor, a throttle valve, a fan, various connecting pipelines and other air conditioner components. The probe 300 is fixedly mounted in the air duct 230 of the air conditioner body 200 by the clamp 100. The corrosion conditions of each air conditioner component are monitored in real time by the probe 300 online. The corrosion data of the air conditioner components are obtained in real time, and the process change trend is analyzed. At the same time, the humidity temperature, SO2 and CO2 concentration and other environmental information of the running environment of the air conditioner 1000 can be captured in real time, and the influence and mechanism of action on the corrosion performance are analyzed. At the same time, the external air can flow through the air duct 230 under the action of the fan. The air flow passes through the surface of the probe 300 during the process of passing through the air duct 230. The condensate water or impurities such as corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300 can be blown off. The blown-off impurities are collected and discharged by the water guide groove 21 below, thereby improving the measurement results and accuracy of the probe 300. The probe 300 can accurately analyze the corrosion conditions occurring at each stage of the running period of the air conditioner 1000, so as to design a corrosion scheme according to the corrosion law, realize the maximum application of the corrosion performance, and improve the product competitiveness.

[0034] The probe 300 is an instrument equipped with a data acquisition module and a data transmission module, and has real-time monitoring and acquisition and online transmission functions. The probe 300 acquires the corrosion conditions of the air conditioner components in the air conditioner 1000 at various stages of the running cycle through the data acquisition module, for example, can shoot the surface of the air conditioner components to obtain the corrosion conditions at various stages of the running cycle, and then transmits the corrosion conditions to the transmitter for data analysis through the data transmission module.

[0035] The mounting rack 10 is the overall support structure of the clamp 100, and the water guide 20, the probe 300 and other structures are fixedly installed on the mounting rack 10 to realize reliable installation of the water guide 20 and the probe 300. Optionally, the mounting rack 10 can be plate-shaped, frame-shaped, column-shaped or some other formed structure. Moreover, the mounting rack 10 can be fixedly installed in the air duct 230 of the air conditioner body 200 in a clamping, screw connection or threaded connection manner. The mounting clamping groove 11 provided on the mounting rack 10 can be arranged opposite to the first side 14 and the second side 15 of the mounting rack 10; or the mounting clamping groove 11 can only pass through the first side 14 of the mounting rack 10 and not pass through the second side 15 of the mounting rack 10. The shape of the mounting clamping groove 11 can include but is not limited to a circle, a square, a hexagon, a triangle and other geometric shapes, and can be adjusted according to the shape of the probe 300.

[0036] The water guide 20 is used to collect and discharge condensate water or impurities such as corrosion products through the water guide groove 21. Optionally, the water guide 20 can be plate-shaped, block-shaped, column-shaped or some other formed structure, as long as the water guide groove 21 can be formed on the water guide 20. Moreover, the shape of the water guide groove 21 formed on the water guide 20 can be a rectangular groove, an arc-shaped groove, a strip-shaped groove or some other formed groove.

[0037] In some embodiments, since when the first water outlet end 21a of the water guide groove 21 protrudes from the first side edge 12 of the mounting rack 10 and the second water outlet end 21b of the water guide groove 21 protrudes from the second side edge 13 of the mounting rack 10, the first water outlet end 21a and the second water outlet end 21b of the water guide groove 21 are prone to interfere with other air conditioner components of the air conditioner body 200, therefore, the first water outlet end 21a of the water guide groove 21 can be arranged flush with the first side edge 12 of the mounting rack 10, and the second water outlet end 21b of the water guide groove 21 can be arranged flush with the second side edge 13 of the mounting rack 10.

[0038] In summary, the clamp 100 provided in the technical scheme of the present application is fixedly installed with the probe 300 on the mounting rack 10 through the installation clamping groove 11, and the water guide 20 is arranged on one side of the mounting rack 10, the water guide 20 is provided with the water guide groove 21 below the installation clamping groove 11, and the water guide groove 21 and the installation clamping groove 11 form a communication space. When the clamp 100 is applied to the air conditioner 1000, the probe 300 can be fixed in the air duct 230 of the air conditioner 1000 through the clamp 100, and the airflow passing through the air duct 230 will flow through the surface of the probe 300 to blow off the condensate water or corrosion products and other impurities on the surface of the probe 300, and the blown-off impurities will be collected and discharged through the water guide groove 21 below, so that the clamp 100 provided in the present scheme can realize the drainage function, so as to discharge the condensate water or corrosion products and other impurities on the surface of the probe 300, thereby improving the measurement result and accuracy of the probe 300.

[0039] In addition, in the present embodiment, the water guide groove 21 is designed with the first water outlet end 21a and the second water outlet end 21b, so that the condensate water or corrosion products and other impurities on the surface of the probe 300 can be divided into the first water outlet end 21a and the second water outlet end 21b after falling into the water guide groove 21 under the action of the airflow, and then discharged outward from the first water outlet end 21a and the second water outlet end 21b, thereby improving the impurity discharge efficiency of the water guide groove 21.

[0040] In addition, since the mounting rack 10 usually has not only one probe 300 installed thereon, but usually has at least two probes 300 installed in the vertical direction of the mounting rack 10, in the present embodiment, the first water outlet end 21a is flush with or protrudes from the first side edge 12 of the mounting rack 10, and the second water outlet end 21b is flush with or protrudes from the second side edge 13 of the mounting rack 10, so that the condensate water or corrosion products and other impurities discharged from the first water outlet end 21a will not flow to the probe 300 below, and the condensate water or corrosion products and other impurities discharged from the second water outlet end 21b will also not flow to the probe 300 below, thereby preventing the pollution of the probe 300 below and affecting the measurement effect and accuracy of the probe 300 below.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting rack 10 has a first side surface 14, the probe 300 protrudes from the first side surface 14, and the water guide 20 is arranged on the first side surface 14; the width of the probe 300 protruding from the first side surface 14 is defined as L1, and the width of the water guide groove 21 in the direction facing the first side surface 14 is defined as L2, and L2>L1 is satisfied.

[0042] In the embodiment, the width L2 of the water guide groove 21 in the direction facing the first side surface 14 is greater than the width L1 of the probe 300 protruding from the first side surface 14, so that the condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products falling from the surface of the probe 300 can fall into the water guide groove 21 below, and the condensed water or impurities falling from the surface of the probe 300 can not fall to a position outside the water guide groove 21 to pollute the probe 300 or other components below.

[0043] It should be noted that the mounting rack 10 is defined to further have a second side surface 15 arranged opposite to the first side surface 14, and the direction facing the first side surface 14 refers to a direction perpendicular to the first side surface 14 and away from the second side surface 15.

[0044] Further, the width of the probe 300 protruding from the first side surface 14 is defined as L1, and the width of the water guide groove 21 in the direction facing the first side surface 14 is defined as L2, and the following condition is satisfied: 1mm≤L2-L1≤2mm.

[0045] When the width L2 of the water guide groove 21 in the direction facing the first side surface 14 is too small than the width L1 of the probe 300 protruding from the first side surface 14, some impurities may splash to a position outside the water guide groove 21 in the process of the condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products falling from the surface of the probe 300 to pollute the probe 300 or other components below. When the width L2 of the water guide groove 21 in the direction facing the first side surface 14 is too large than the width L1 of the probe 300 protruding from the first side surface 14, the water guide groove 21 is likely to interfere with other air conditioner components of the air conditioner body 200. Therefore, in the embodiment, the width L2 of the water guide groove 21 in the direction facing the first side surface 14 is greater than the width L1 of the probe 300 protruding from the first side surface 14 by 1mm-2mm, so that the impurities can not splash to a position outside the water guide groove 21, and the water guide groove 21 can not interfere with other air conditioner components of the air conditioner body 200.

[0046] As some examples, the range of L2-L1 can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2mm, etc.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the water guide groove 21 includes two water outlet sections 211 connected in communication, the two water outlet sections 211 are distributed along the width direction of the mounting rack 10, and the ends of the two water outlet sections 211 away from each other are both arranged downwardly inclined.

[0048] In the embodiment, the two water outlet sections 211 are inclined downward at the ends far away from each other. The condensate water and the impurities such as corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300 fall into the water guide groove 21 under the action of the airflow, and then are shunted to the two water outlet sections 211. Then, under the action of gravity, the impurities flow to the ends of the two water outlet sections 211 far away from each other, so that the condensate water and the impurities such as corrosion products are beneficial to be discharged, and the efficiency of discharging the impurities of the water guide groove 21 can be improved.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, an angle between the water outlet section 211 and the horizontal plane is defined as α, and α≥45° is satisfied.

[0050] When the angle α between the water outlet section 211 and the horizontal plane is too small, part of the condensate water and the impurities such as corrosion products are prone to stay in the water guide groove 21. Therefore, in the embodiment, the angle α between the water outlet section 211 and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 45°, so that the condensate water and the impurities such as corrosion products can be smoothly discharged from the water guide groove 21, which is more beneficial to discharge the condensate water and the impurities such as corrosion products, and the efficiency of discharging the impurities of the water guide groove 21 can be further improved.

[0051] As some examples, the angle α between the water outlet section 211 and the horizontal plane can be 45°, 46°, 47°, 48°, 49°, 50°, 52°, 55°, 57°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, and the like.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In an embodiment of the present application, a first baffle plate 30 extending upward is arranged on the side of the water guide groove 21 far away from the mounting frame 10, and the first baffle plate 30 is used for limiting the end face of the probe 300.

[0053] In this way, the design of the first baffle plate 30 can limit the area below the end face of the probe 300, so as to improve the installation reliability of the probe 300. In addition, the first baffle plate 30 can also block the condensate water and the corrosion products from splashing to the position outside the water guide groove 21 during the process of falling into the water guide groove 21.

[0054] In actual application, the first baffle plate 30 can be integrally formed with the water guide 20, or the first baffle plate 30 can be connected to the water guide 20 by bonding, screw connection, clamping, or the like. In addition, the first baffle plate 30 can be a straight plate, an arc-shaped plate, a bent plate, or some other shaped baffle plate structure.

[0055] In actual application, the first baffle plate 30 can abut against the end face of the probe 300, or there can be a gap between the first baffle plate 30 and the end face of the probe 300.

[0056] Further, in order to make the condensed water and impurities such as corrosion products falling from the surface of the probe 300 fall smoothly into the water guide groove 21, it is preferable to have a gap between the first baffle 30 and the end face of the probe 300.

[0057] Referring to Figure 8 In an embodiment of the present application, the height H1 of the upward extension of the first baffle 30 is defined, and the radius R of the probe 300 is defined, and it is satisfied that H1 < 1 / 2R.

[0058] Since when the height H1 of the upward extension of the first baffle 30 is too large than the radius R of the probe 300, the first baffle 30 is easy to block the test surface of the motor or sensor in the probe 300, therefore, by making the height H1 of the upward extension of the first baffle 30 less than half of the radius R of the probe 300, the first baffle 30 can effectively avoid blocking the test surface of the motor or sensor in the probe 300, so as to ensure the test effect of the probe 300.

[0059] As some examples, the relationship between the height H1 of the upward extension of the first baffle 30 and the radius R of the probe 300 can be H1 = 1 / 3R, H1 = 1 / 4R, H1 = 1 / 5R, H1 = 1 / 6R, H1 = 1 / 7R, H1 = 1 / 8R, H1 = 1 / 9R, H1 = 1 / 10R, H1 = 1 / 11R, H1 = 1 / 12R, and the like.

[0060] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting rack 10 further has a second baffle 40, the second baffle 40 is located above the mounting clamping groove 11 and is arranged opposite to the water guide 20, and the second baffle 40 is used for limiting the end face of the probe 300.

[0061] In this way, the design of the second baffle 40 can limit the upper area of the end face of the probe 300, and the installation reliability of the probe 300 can be further improved.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second baffle 40 can include a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate arranged at an angle, one side of the first limiting plate is connected with the mounting rack 10, the first limiting plate is used for abutting and limiting the top of the probe 300, and one side of the second limiting plate is connected with the side of the first limiting plate away from the mounting rack 10 and is arranged and extended downward, and the second limiting plate is used for abutting and limiting the end face of the probe 300.

[0063] In actual application, the second baffle 40 can be an integral molding structure with the mounting rack 10, or can be connected to the mounting rack 10 by means of bonding, screw connection, clamping and the like.

[0064] Referring to Figure 8In an embodiment of the present application, the second baffle plate 40 extends downward from the side of the mounting frame 10 away from the mounting bracket 10, and the height of the downward extension of the second baffle plate 40 is H2, and the radius of the probe 300 is R, and H2 < 1 / 2R is satisfied.

[0065] When the height H2 of the downward extension of the second baffle plate 40 is too large compared with the radius R of the probe 300, the second baffle plate 40 is likely to block the testing surface of the motor or sensor in the probe 300. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the height H2 of the downward extension of the second baffle plate 40 is less than half of the radius R of the probe 300, so that the second baffle plate 40 is effectively prevented from blocking the testing surface of the motor or sensor in the probe 300, and the testing effect of the probe 300 is ensured.

[0066] As some examples, the relationship between the height H2 of the downward extension of the second baffle plate 40 and the radius R of the probe 300 can be H2 = 1 / 3R, H2 = 1 / 4R, H2 = 1 / 5R, H2 = 1 / 6R, H2 = 1 / 7R, H2 = 1 / 8R, H2 = 1 / 9R, H2 = 1 / 10R, H2 = 1 / 11R, H2 = 1 / 12R, and the like.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting slot 11 extends through the first side 14 and the second side 15 of the mounting frame 10, the two ends of the probe 300 protrude from the first side 14 and the second side 15 respectively, the water guide 20 is arranged on the first side 14, and the second side 15 is provided with a limiting buckle 50 for clamping the end of the probe 300 protruding from the second side 15.

[0068] In this way, when the probe 300 is installed, one end of the probe 300 can be inserted into the mounting slot 11 from the side of the mounting slot 11 close to the second side 15 and past the limiting buckle 50, and then the probe 300 can be pushed backward from the end of the probe 300 close to the second side 15, so that the end of the probe 300 gradually protrudes from the first side 14 of the mounting frame 10, until the end of the probe 300 protruding from the second side 15 is clamped with the limiting buckle 50 on the second side 15, and the limiting buckle 50 can be used to fix and limit the back of the probe 300, so that the installation reliability of the probe 300 is further improved.

[0069] In actual application, one limiting buckle 50 can be used to clamp the probe 300, or two or more limiting buckles 50 can be used to clamp the probe 300.

[0070] In some embodiments, in order to improve the clamping and limiting effect of the probe 300, a pair of limiting buckles 50 can be used to clamp and cooperate with the probe 300, and the pair of limiting buckles 50 are arranged on opposite sides of the mounting clamping groove 11. Since when the distance between the pair of limiting buckles 50 is too small, the probe 300 cannot be clamped between the two limiting buckles 50; and when the distance between the pair of limiting buckles 50 is too large, the two limiting buckles 50 will lose the limiting effect on the probe 300; therefore, in the present embodiment, the distance between the pair of limiting buckles 50 can be 1mm-1.5mm smaller than the outer diameter of the probe 300, so that the probe 300 cannot be clamped between the two limiting buckles 50 can be effectively avoided, and at the same time, the limiting buckles 50 lose the limiting effect on the probe 300. Specifically, the distance between the pair of limiting buckles 50 can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4m, 1.5mm, etc. smaller than the outer diameter of the probe 300.

[0072] In this way, when installing the probe 300, one end of the probe 300 can be passed through the limiting buckle 50 from the side of the mounting clamping groove 11 close to the second side surface 15, then inserted into the mounting clamping groove 11 through the limiting sleeve 60, and then pushed backward from the end of the probe 300 close to the second side surface 15 to make one end of the probe 300 gradually protrude from the first side surface 14 of the mounting frame 10, until the end of the probe 300 protruding from the second side surface 15 is clamped and cooperated with the limiting buckle 50 on the second side surface 15, so that the installation reliability of the probe 300 can be further improved under the common limiting action of the limiting sleeve 60 and the limiting buckle 50.

[0073] In actual application, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting sleeve 60 can include but is not limited to circular, square, hexagonal, triangular and other geometric shapes, which can be adjusted according to the shape of the probe 300.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting frame 10 is further provided with a fixed clamping jaw 70, and the fixed clamping jaw 70 is used to fix the clamp 100 in the air conditioner 1000.

[0076] In actual application, the number of the fixed clamping jaw 70 can be one, two or more. Moreover, the shape and size of the fixed clamping jaw 70 can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the heat exchange pipe or other components matched therewith. In some embodiments, the fixed clamping jaw 70 is preferably clamped into the heat exchange pipe such as a copper pipe or an aluminum pipe. The preferred range is that the fixed clamping jaw 70 is clamped into the heat exchange pipe or other components with a diameter of 5 mm or 7 mm and a center distance of 14.5 mm to 21.0 mm.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting bracket 10 is further provided with a wire pressing groove 80 for clamping the connecting wire 500.

[0078] Since the probe 300 is installed in the air duct 230 of the air conditioner 1000 through the clamp 100, the probe 300 needs to be connected with the transmitter 400 or the controller inside the air conditioner body 200 through the connecting wire 500, and the probe 300 is usually provided with a plurality of probes, so that there are a plurality of connecting wires 500. Therefore, in this embodiment, the wire pressing groove 80 is arranged on the mounting bracket 10 to clamp the connecting wire 500 through the wire pressing groove 80, so as to beautify the overall wiring of the probe 300.

Since the air conditioner 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, it has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described here.

[0084] The air conditioner body 200 is provided with an air duct 230, the two ends of the air duct 230 being an air inlet 210 and an air outlet 220 respectively; the clamp 100 is arranged in the air duct 230; and the probe 300 is arranged in the mounting slot 11 of the clamp 100, and the detection port of the probe 300 faces the air conditioner component of the air conditioner body 200, so as to monitor the corrosion condition of the air conditioner component of the air conditioner body 200.

[0085] It can be understood that, in the embodiment, the probe 300 is fixed in the air duct 230 of the air conditioner body 200 by the clamp 100. The airflow flows through the surface of the probe 300 in the process of passing through the air duct 230, so as to blow off the impurities such as condensed water or corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300. The blown-off impurities are collected and discharged by the water guide groove 21 below. Therefore, the clamp 100 provided in the scheme can realize the drainage function, so as to discharge the impurities such as condensed water or corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300, thereby improving the measurement result and precision of the probe 300.

[0086] In actual application, the probe 300 can be installed at the air inlet 210 of the air duct 230 by the clamp 100, or can be installed at the air outlet 220 of the air duct 230, or can be installed at a position between the air inlet 210 and the air outlet 220 of the air duct 230. The specific installation position can be determined according to the position of the air conditioner component to be monitored by the probe 300. For example, when the air conditioner component to be monitored by the probe 300 is located close to the air inlet 210, the probe 300 is installed at the air inlet 210 of the air duct 230 by the clamp 100; when the air conditioner component to be monitored by the probe 300 is located close to the air outlet 220, the probe 300 is installed at the air outlet 220 of the air duct 230 by the clamp 100; and when the air conditioner component to be monitored by the probe 300 is located between the air inlet 210 and the air outlet 220, the probe 300 is installed at a position between the air inlet 210 and the air outlet 220 of the air duct 230 by the clamp 100.
