[0050] The relevant technology uses online monitoring probes to obtain corrosion data of air conditioning components. However, during the testing process, impurities such as condensation or corrosion products can easily appear on the surface of the probe, affecting the measurement results and accuracy of the probe.

[0051] To address this, the present invention proposes a fixture 100 that performs a drainage function to remove impurities such as condensate or corrosion products from the surface of the probe 300, thereby improving the measurement results and accuracy of the probe 300. The structure of the fixture 100 will be described below by way of an embodiment.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the fixture 100 includes a mounting frame 10 and a water guide 20. The mounting frame 10 is provided with a mounting slot 11 for mounting the probe 300; the water guide 20 is located on one side of the mounting frame 10 and below the mounting slot 11. The water guide 20 is provided with a water guide groove 21, and a communicating space is formed between the water guide groove 21 and the mounting slot 11 for collecting and discharging impurities that fall from the surface of the probe 300 under the action of airflow.

[0053] The mounting bracket 10 has a first side 12 and a second side 13 opposite each other in the width direction. The water guide trough 21 has a first water outlet 21a and a second water outlet 21b. The first water outlet 21a is flush with or protrudes from the first side 12, and the second water outlet 21b is flush with or protrudes from the second side 13.

[0054] In this embodiment, the clamp 100 is applied to the air conditioner 1000, and the air conditioner 1000 further comprises an air conditioner body 200, the air conditioner body 200 is provided with an air duct 230, and the air conditioner body 200 is further provided with an evaporator, a condenser 250, a compressor, a throttle valve, a fan, various connecting pipes and other air conditioner components. The probe 300 is fixedly installed in the air duct 230 of the air conditioner body 200 through the clamp 100, so as to monitor the corrosion of each air conditioner component in real time through the probe 300, to obtain the corrosion data of the air conditioner component in real time, and to analyze the process change trend; at the same time, the humidity temperature, SO2, 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, and the airflow will flow through the surface of the probe 300 during the process of passing through the air duct 230, so that the condensed water or corrosion products and other impurities on the surface of the probe 300 can be blown off, the blown-off impurities can be collected and discharged through the water guide groove 21 below, so as to improve the measurement result and precision of the probe 300, so that the probe 300 can accurately analyze the corrosion occurring at each stage of the running cycle 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.

[0055] The probe 300 is an instrument loaded with a data acquisition module and a data transmission module, and has the functions of real-time monitoring and acquisition and online transmission. The probe 300 acquires the corrosion occurring at each stage of the running cycle of the air conditioner components in the air conditioner 1000 through the data acquisition module, for example, can shoot the surface of the air conditioner component to obtain the corrosion occurring at each stage of the running cycle, and then transmits the corrosion to the transmitter for data analysis through the data transmission module.

[0056] The mounting bracket 10 is the overall support structure of the clamp 100, and the water guide 20 and the probe 300 are fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 10 to realize reliable installation of the water guide 20 and the probe 300. Alternatively, the mounting bracket 10 can be plate-shaped, frame-shaped, column-shaped or some other formed structure. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 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 bracket 10 can be arranged opposite to the first side 14 and the second side 15 of the mounting bracket 10; alternatively, the mounting clamping groove 11 can only penetrate the first side 14 of the mounting bracket 10, but not the second side 15 of the mounting bracket 10. The shape of the mounting clamping groove 11 can include but is not limited to a circular shape, a square shape, a hexagonal shape, a triangular shape and the like, and can be adjusted according to the shape of the probe 300.

[0057] The water guide 20 is used to collect and discharge the condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products through the water guide groove 21. Optionally, the water guide 20 can be a plate, a block, a column or some other formed structure as long as the water guide groove 21 can be formed on the water guide 20. In addition, 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.

[0058] 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 frame 10 and the second water outlet end 21b of the water guide groove 21 protrudes from the second side edge 13 of the mounting frame 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 frame 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 frame 10.

[0059] In summary, in the clamp 100 provided by the technical scheme of the present application, the probe 300 is fixedly installed on the mounting clamp groove 11 provided on the mounting frame 10, so as to realize the fixed installation of the probe 300; meanwhile, the water guide 20 is arranged on one side of the mounting frame 10, the water guide 20 is provided with the water guide groove 21 located below the mounting clamp groove 11, and the water guide groove 21 and the mounting clamp groove 11 form a communication space therebetween. 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, so as to blow off the condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300, and the blown-off impurities will be collected and discharged through the water guide groove 21 below, therefore, the clamp 100 provided by the present application can realize the drainage function, so as to discharge the condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300, thereby improving the measurement result and accuracy of the probe 300.

[0060] 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 condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300 can be divided into the first water outlet end 21a and the second water outlet end 21b 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.

[0061] In addition, since the mounting rack 10 is usually provided with not only one probe 300 but at least two probes 300 in the vertical direction of the mounting rack 10, 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 condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products discharged from the first water outlet end 21a cannot flow to the probe 300 below, and the condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products discharged from the second water outlet end 21b cannot flow to the probe 300 below, thereby preventing the probe 300 below from being contaminated and affecting the measurement effect and accuracy of the probe 300 below.

[0062] 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 of the first side surface 14 is defined as L2. It is satisfied that L2>L1.

[0063] In the embodiment, the width L2 of the water guide groove 21 in the direction of 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, avoiding the condensed water or impurities such as corrosion products falling from the surface of the probe 300 to positions outside the water guide groove 21 to contaminate the probe 300 or other components below.

[0064] It should be noted that the mounting rack 10 also has a second side surface 15 opposite to the first side surface 14, and the direction of the first side surface 14 refers to the direction perpendicular to the first side surface 14 and away from the second side surface 15.

[0065] 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 of the first side surface 14 is defined as L2. It is satisfied that 1mm≤L2-L1≤2mm.

[0066] When the width L2 of the water guide groove 21 in the facing direction of 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 such as condensed water or corrosion products falling from the surface of the probe 300 to the water guide groove 21 may splash to a position outside the water guide groove 21, thereby polluting the probe 300 or other components below; when the width L2 of the water guide groove 21 in the facing direction of 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 prone to interfere with other air conditioner components of the air conditioner body 200. Therefore, by making the width L2 of the water guide groove 21 in the facing direction of the first side surface 14 1mm-2mm larger than the width L1 of the probe 300 protruding from the first side surface 14, the impurities can be prevented from splashing to a position outside the water guide groove 21, and interference between the water guide groove 21 and other air conditioner components of the air conditioner body 200 can be avoided.

[0067] 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.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the water guide groove 21 comprises two water outlet sections 211 connected in series, the two water outlet sections 211 are distributed along the width direction of the mounting frame 10, and the ends of the two water outlet sections 211 away from each other are both inclined downward.

[0069] In the embodiment, the ends of the two water outlet sections 211 away from each other are both inclined downward, so that the impurities such as condensed water or corrosion products on the surface of the probe 300 falling to the water guide groove 21 under the action of airflow can be distributed to the two water outlet sections 211, and then flow to the ends of the two water outlet sections 211 away from each other under the action of gravity, thereby facilitating the removal of the impurities such as condensed water and corrosion products, and improving the impurity removal efficiency of the water guide groove 21.

[0070] 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 a, and a satisfies: a≥45°.

[0071] When the angle a between the water outlet section 211 and the horizontal plane is too small, some impurities such as condensed water and corrosion products are prone to stay in the water guide groove 21, therefore, in the embodiment, the angle a between the water outlet section 211 and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 45°, so that the impurities such as condensed water and corrosion products can be smoothly discharged from the water guide groove 21, thereby facilitating the removal of the impurities such as condensed water and corrosion products, and further improving the impurity removal efficiency of the water guide groove 21.

[0072] As some examples, the included angle a 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.

[0073] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In an embodiment of the present application, the water guide groove 21 away from the mounting frame 10 side is provided with a first baffle 30 extending upward, and the first baffle 30 is used for limiting the end face of the probe 300.

[0074] In this way, the design of the first baffle 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 30 can also block the condensed water and corrosion products from splashing to the position outside the water guide groove 21 during the process of falling into the water guide groove 21.

[0075] In actual application, the first baffle 30 can be an integral molding structure with the water guide 20, or can be connected to the water guide 20 by means of bonding, screw connection, clamping and the like. In addition, the first baffle 30 can be a straight plate, an arc-shaped plate, a bent plate or some other shaped baffle structure.

[0076] In actual application, the first baffle 30 can abut against the end face of the probe 300, or can have a gap between the end face of the probe 300.

[0077] Further, in order to make the condensed water and corrosion products and other impurities falling from the surface of the probe 300 fall smoothly into the water guide groove 21, it is preferred that the first baffle 30 has a gap between the end face of the probe 300.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 8 In an embodiment of the present application, the height of the upward extension of the first baffle 30 is defined as H1, and the radius of the probe 300 is R, and H1<1 / 2R is satisfied.

[0079] 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.

[0080] As some examples, the relationship between the height H1 to which the first baffle 30 extends upward 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.

[0081] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting rack 10 further has a second baffle 40 on one side thereof, which is located above the mounting slot 11 and opposite the water guide 20. The second baffle 40 is configured to limit the end face of the probe 300.

[0082] In this way, the second baffle 40 is designed to limit the upper area of the end face of the probe 300, which can further improve the installation reliability of the probe 300.

[0083] 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 to the mounting rack 10, and the first limiting plate is configured to abut against and limit the top of the probe 300. One side of the second limiting plate is connected to the side of the first limiting plate away from the mounting rack 10, and the second limiting plate extends downward. The second limiting plate is configured to abut against and limit the end face of the probe 300.

[0084] In actual applications, the second baffle 40 can be integrally formed with the mounting rack 10, or can be connected to the mounting rack 10 by means of adhesion, screw connection, clamping, or the like.

[0085] Referring to Figure 8 In an embodiment of the present application, the side of the second baffle 40 away from the mounting rack 10 extends downward, and the height to which the second baffle 40 extends downward is defined as H2. The radius of the probe 300 is R, and H2 < 1 / 2R is satisfied.

[0086] When the height H2 to which the second baffle 40 extends downward is too large compared to the radius R of the probe 300, the second baffle 40 is likely to block the test surface of the motor or sensor inside the probe 300. Therefore, by making the height H2 to which the second baffle 40 extends downward less than half of the radius R of the probe 300, the second baffle 40 is effectively prevented from blocking the test surface of the motor or sensor inside the probe 300, so as to ensure the test effect of the probe 300.

[0087] As some examples, the relationship between the height H2 to which the second baffle 40 extends downward 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 so on.

[0088] Referring 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 one end of the probe 300 protruding from the second side 15.

[0089] 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 then the probe 300 can be pushed backward from the end of the probe 300 close to the second side 15, so that one 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. In this way, the limiting buckle 50 can fix and limit the back of the probe 300, thereby further improving the installation reliability of the probe 300.

[0090] 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.

[0091] 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 the probe 300, and the pair of limiting buckles 50 are arranged on opposite sides of the mounting slot 11. Since the probe 300 cannot be clamped between two limiting buckles 50 when the spacing between the pair of limiting buckles 50 is too small, and the two limiting buckles 50 will lose the limiting effect on the probe 300 when the spacing between the pair of limiting buckles 50 is too large, the spacing between the pair of limiting buckles 50 can be 1mm-1.5mm smaller than the outer diameter of the probe 300 in this embodiment, so that the probe 300 cannot be clamped between the two limiting buckles 50, and the limiting buckles 50 do not lose the limiting effect on the probe 300. Specifically, the spacing between the pair of limiting buckles 50 can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, or the like, smaller than the outer diameter of the probe 300.

[0092] Referring to Figures 3 to 5In an embodiment of the present application, the second side surface 15 is further provided with a limiting sleeve 60, the limiting sleeve 60 is arranged around the mounting clamping groove 11, and one end of the probe 300 protruding from the second side surface 15 is arranged in the limiting sleeve 60.

[0093] In this way, when the probe 300 is installed, 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, and then inserted into the mounting clamping groove 11 through the limiting sleeve 60, and then the probe 300 is pushed backward from the end of the probe 300 close to the second side surface 15, so that one end of the probe 300 gradually protrudes 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 matched 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 combined limiting action of the limiting sleeve 60 and the limiting buckle 50.

[0094] In actual application, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting sleeve 60 can include but is not limited to a circular shape, a square shape, a hexagonal shape, a triangular shape and the like, and can be adjusted according to the shape of the probe 300.

[0095] 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 for fixing the clamp 100 in the air duct 230 of the air conditioner 1000.

[0096] In this way, when the probe 300 is fixedly installed on the air conditioner body 200 of the air conditioner 1000 by the clamp 100, the fixed clamping jaw 70 can be clamped and matched with the heat exchange pipe or other components on the air conditioner body 200, so that the probe 300 can be fixedly installed in the air duct 230 of the air conditioner 1000 by the clamp 100, to realize convenient and reliable installation of the clamp 100.

[0097] 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 used for clamping into the heat exchange pipe such as copper pipe or aluminum pipe, and the preferred range is clamping into the heat exchange pipe or other components such as copper pipe or aluminum pipe with a diameter of 5mm or 7mm and a center distance of 14.5mm-21.0mm.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting frame 10 is further provided with a wire pressing groove 80, and the wire pressing groove 80 is used for clamping the connecting wire 500.

[0099] 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 by using the connecting wire 500, and the probe 300 is usually provided with a plurality of connecting wires 500, so the embodiment can beautify the overall wiring of the probe 300 by providing the wire pressing groove 80 on the mounting rack 10 to hold the connecting wire 500 through the wire pressing groove 80.

[0100] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the connecting wire 500 to be clamped into the wire pressing groove 80, the clamping interval of the wire pressing groove 80 can be 1mm-1.5mm smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting wire 500, and can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, etc.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting rack 10 is provided with a plurality of installation clamping grooves 11 which are spaced apart, each installation clamping groove 11 is used to install a probe 300, and each installation clamping groove 11 is provided with a water guide 20 below.

[0102] In this way, the design number of the installation clamping groove 11 and the water guide 20 can be increased or decreased according to the number requirement of the probe 300, so that the clamp 100 can adapt to the installation requirement of different number of probes 300, thereby improving the application range of the clamp 100.

[0103] In actual application, the plurality of installation clamping grooves 11 can be spaced apart along the height direction of the mounting rack 10, or can be spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting rack 10.
