[0003] However, existing sheet metal stamping parts used for outdoor unit housings of energy-saving air conditioners have poor installation adaptability and are prone to loosening after fixing, which cannot meet the precise fixing requirements of different installation scenarios. The fixing structure of existing sheet metal stamping parts is mostly a fixed size design, lacking a multi-dimensional adjustment mechanism. The position of the sliding plate and the fixed base cannot be flexibly adjusted, making it difficult to adapt to the spacing and hole diameter distribution requirements of different installation surfaces. This results in the need for additional drilling or modification during installation, which is cumbersome and easily damages the housing.
[0004] Therefore, a high-strength metal sheet stamping part is needed for the housing of an energy-saving air conditioner outdoor unit. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-strength metal sheet stamping part for the housing of an energy-saving air conditioner outdoor unit, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art of not being able to meet the precise fixing requirements of different installation scenarios. This invention provides a high-strength metal sheet stamping part for the housing of an energy-saving air conditioner outdoor unit that can be freely adjusted in installation position.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A high-strength metal sheet metal stamping part for the housing of an energy-saving air conditioner outdoor unit, comprising: Stamped part body; A sliding groove is formed at the bottom of the stamped part body; At least two sliding plates are slidably disposed on both sides of the sliding groove; A fixing component, the fixing component being mounted on the sliding plate; and An adjustment assembly is installed within the sliding groove.

[0019] 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 some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See Figures 1-6 A high-strength metal sheet metal stamping part for the housing of an energy-saving air conditioner outdoor unit includes a stamping part body 1. A sliding groove 2 is provided at the bottom of the stamping part body 1. At least two sliding plates 3 are arranged facing each other on both sides of the sliding groove 2. The sliding plates 3 are slidably connected to the sliding groove 2. A fixing component 4 is installed on the sliding plate 3. An adjusting component 5 is installed in the sliding groove 2. The adjusting component 5 includes a mounting rod 6. The mounting rod 6 is fixedly arranged at the center of the sliding groove 2. A first sliding groove 7 is provided in the mounting rod 6. A first slider 8 is provided in the first sliding groove 7. The first slider 8 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 7. A first connecting block 9 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the first slider 8. A second connecting block 10 is fixedly arranged on the side of the sliding plate 3. A rotating rod 11 is arranged between the first connecting block 9 and the second connecting block 10. The rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to both the first connecting block 9 and the second connecting block 10. The rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the sliding groove 2.
[0021] The function of the stamped part body 1 is to fit against the bottom of the outdoor unit casing of the air conditioner, providing an installation base for the sliding groove 2, sliding plate 3, adjusting component 5, and fixing component 4, and bearing the weight and vibration generated during the operation of the outdoor unit. The function of the sliding groove 2 is to provide a sliding track for the sliding plate 3, limiting the movement direction of the sliding plate 3, and at the same time providing a closed installation space for the adjusting component 5 to prevent external debris from entering and affecting the adjustment accuracy. The function of the sliding plate 3 is to serve as the installation carrier for the fixing component 4. By moving along the sliding groove 2, it drives the fixing component 4 to change its lateral position, adapting to the distribution of fixing points on different mounting surfaces. The function of the adjusting component 5 is to drive the sliding plate 3 to move through mechanical transmission, realizing precise adjustment of the spacing of the sliding plate 3, meeting the installation requirements of outdoor unit casings of different sizes. The function of the fixing component 4 is to directly contact and fix it to the mounting surface. Through its multi-directional adjustment structure, it adapts to the flatness of the mounting surface and the spacing of the fixing points, ensuring a firm connection between the stamped part and the mounting surface.
[0022] First, refer to Figure 3In this embodiment, a first screw 12 is provided in the first slide groove 7. The first screw 12 is rotatably connected to the first slide groove 7 and is threadedly connected to the first slider 8. The top of the first screw 12 passes through the mounting rod 6 and extends to the outside. A first internal hexagonal hole 13 is provided on the top of the first screw 12. The function of the first screw 12 is to convert rotational motion into linear motion. Through the threaded engagement with the first slider 8, it drives the first slider 8 to slide up and down along the first slide groove 7, thereby driving the sliding plate 3 to move. The function of the first internal hexagonal hole 13 is to provide a force application point for the tool, making it convenient for the operator to use an internal hexagonal tool to rotate the first screw 12. Moreover, the internal hexagonal hole is located on the top of the first screw 12, allowing the operator to operate directly from above the stamping part without disassembling other parts, thus improving the ease of operation. The threads of the first screw 12 and the threads of the first slider 8 are tightly engaged without obvious gaps, ensuring that there is no free rotation or slippage during transmission. At the same time, the self-locking characteristic of the threads is utilized to maintain the position of the first slider 8 after adjustment, preventing vibration from causing the sliding plate 3 to shift.
[0023] Secondly, see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the fixing component 4 includes a second slide groove 14, which is formed on the sliding plate 3. Adjustable sliding blocks 15 are arranged on both sides of the second slide groove 14 facing each other. The adjustable sliding blocks 15 are slidably connected to the second slide groove 14. A fixing base 16 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the adjustable sliding block 15. The fixing base 16 has a fixing hole 17. The function of the second slide groove 14 is to provide a lateral sliding track for the adjustable sliding block 15, limit the movement direction of the adjustable sliding block 15, and ensure that it can only move along the length direction of the sliding plate 3. The function of the adjustable sliding block 15 is to support the fixing base 16. The fixed base 16 changes its lateral position by moving itself, so that the fixing hole 17 can be accurately aligned with the fixing point on the mounting surface. The function of the fixed base 16 is to increase the contact area with the mounting surface, distribute the weight pressure of the outdoor unit, and avoid damage caused by excessive local stress on the mounting surface. There is no obvious gap when its bottom is in contact with the mounting surface, which improves the fixing stability. The function of the fixing hole 17 is to allow fasteners such as bolts and expansion screws to pass through, so as to fix the fixed base 16 to the mounting surface. There are at least two fixing holes 17, which are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the fixed base 16 to ensure that the force is evenly distributed during fixing and to prevent the fixed base 16 from tilting.
[0024] Furthermore, see Figure 2In this embodiment, a bidirectional lead screw 18 is provided in the second slide groove 14. The bidirectional lead screw 18 is rotatably connected to the second slide groove 14. The bidirectional lead screw 18 is threadedly connected to the adjustable sliding block 15. One side of the bidirectional lead screw 18 passes through the sliding plate 3 and extends to the outside. The extended end of the bidirectional lead screw 18 has a second internal hexagonal hole 19. The function of the bidirectional lead screw 18 is to drive the two adjustable sliding blocks 15 to move synchronously. The two ends of its threads rotate in opposite directions. When the lead screw rotates, the two adjustable sliding blocks 15 can slide towards or away from each other at the same time, ensuring that the spacing adjustment of the fixed base 16 is accurate and efficient. The corner hole 19 is used to fit an internal hex tool, allowing the operator to rotate the double-acting screw 18 from the side of the sliding plate 3 without moving the outdoor unit, thus reducing the difficulty of adjustment. The two ends of the double-acting screw 18 are embedded in the end slots of the second slide groove 14. The slots fit tightly with the ends of the screw, restricting the axial movement of the screw and ensuring that the screw can only rotate around its own axis, thereby improving transmission stability. The threads of the double-acting screw 18 and the adjustable sliding block 15 are precisely matched, and there is no jamming during adjustment. Moreover, the self-locking feature of the threads prevents the adjustable sliding block 15 from moving on its own, keeping the spacing of the fixed base 16 stable.
[0025] Also see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the adjustable sliding block 15 includes a second slider 20, which is disposed within a second slide groove 14 and slidably connected to the second slide groove 14. The second slider 20 is threadedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw 18. A sliding frame 21 is provided at the bottom of the second slider 20, which is slidably connected to the second slider 20. The bottom of the sliding frame 21 is fixedly connected to a fixed base 16. The function of the second slider 20 is to receive the power from the bidirectional lead screw 18 and achieve lateral movement through threaded engagement with the bidirectional lead screw 18, thereby driving the sliding frame 21 and the fixed base 16 to move synchronously. The top of the second slider 20 fits against the inner wall of the second slide groove 14, and there is no obvious gap between the two sides and the side wall of the slide groove, ensuring that there is no shaking during sliding and improving the adjustment accuracy. The function of the sliding frame 21 is to realize the height adjustment of the fixed base 16. Its top slides and engages with the bottom of the second slider 20, and can move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby changing the height of the fixed base 16 from the ground. The inner wall of the sliding frame 21 is smooth and fits tightly with the sliding protrusion of the second slider 20, so there is no jamming during sliding. The length of the sliding frame 21 is adapted to the length of the fixed base 16, ensuring that the fixed base 16 is evenly stressed and does not tilt.
[0026] Then, refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 22 is provided at the bottom of the sliding frame 21, and the rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 21. A support plate 23 is fixedly provided on the rotating shaft 22, and the support plate 23 is in contact with the bottom of the second slider 20. One end of the rotating shaft 22 passes through the sliding frame 21 and extends to the outside. A crank handle 24 is fixedly provided at the extended end of the rotating shaft 22. The function of the rotating shaft 22 is to transmit rotational power and drive the support plate 23 to rotate synchronously. Both ends of the shaft 22 are tightly connected to the side wall of the sliding frame 21, and there is no obvious shaking when rotating. The function of the support plate 23 is to change the support height by rotating. Its top is a plane and is flush with the bottom of the second slider 20. The surface is closely fitted, increasing the contact area and improving support stability. The thickness of the support plate 23 is uniform, ensuring consistent support force during rotation and preventing the sliding frame 21 from tilting. The function of the crank handle 24 is to provide the operator with a point of force to facilitate the rotation of the rotating shaft 22. The surface of the handle has no sharp protrusions, making it comfortable to hold. The handle is firmly fixed to the rotating shaft 22, preventing slippage and loosening during rotation. When the rotating shaft 22 rotates, the support plate 23 rotates around the axis. By changing the contact angle between the support plate 23 and the bottom of the second slider 20, the sliding frame 21 is pushed up and down, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the height of the fixed base 16 and meeting the flatness requirements of the mounting surface.
[0027] Next, refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, a mounting bracket 25 is fixedly installed inside the sliding frame 21. A ratchet 26 is provided on the mounting bracket 25, and the ratchet 26 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 25. A mounting ring 27 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 25, and the mounting ring 27 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 22. A ratchet 28 is provided inside the mounting ring 27, and the ratchet 28 is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 27. The ratchet 28 and the ratchet 26 are compatible. The function of the mounting bracket 25 is to fix the ratchet 26, which is U-shaped and whose two ends are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame 21. The connection points are secure, ensuring that the mounting bracket 25 does not shift when the ratchet 26 rotates. The function of the ratchet 26 is to cooperate with the ratchet 28 to achieve one-way locking. Its tooth shape is perfectly matched with the tooth groove of the ratchet 28, and there is no gap when engaged, effectively limiting the reverse rotation of the ratchet 28. The function of the mounting ring 27 is to support the rotating shaft 22 and the ratchet 28. Its inner wall fits tightly against the rotating shaft 22, so there is no jamming when rotating. At the same time, it fixes the position of the ratchet 28, ensuring that the ratchet 28 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 22. The function of the ratchet 28 is to cooperate with the ratchet 26 to lock the position of the rotating shaft 22. When the rotating shaft 22 drives the support plate 23 to adjust to a suitable height, the ratchet 26 engages in the tooth groove of the ratchet 28, preventing the rotating shaft 22 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby locking the height of the fixed base 16 and avoiding height deviation caused by vibration. The connection between the ratchet 26 and the mounting bracket 25 is a rotatable connection. The ratchet 26 can rotate around the pin shaft, and an elastic element is provided between the other end of the ratchet 26 and the mounting bracket 25 to ensure that the ratchet 26 always remains engaged with the ratchet 28 and does not disengage from the tooth groove.
[0028] Additionally, seeFigure 2 In this embodiment, the middle part of the rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 2. Both the first connecting block 9 and the second connecting block 10 have hinge holes. Both ends of the rotating rod 11 pass through these hinge holes, and the rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the first connecting block 9 and the second connecting block 10 through these hinge holes. The hinge holes provide a fulcrum for the rotating rod 11, and their diameter matches the end diameter of the rotating rod 11. The rotating rod 11 does not wobble significantly after passing through the hinge holes, ensuring smooth rotation. The connection point between the middle part of the rotating rod 11 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 2... Located in the middle of the sliding groove 2, the rotating rod 11 is ensured to be evenly stressed and not biased to one side during rotation. The length of the rotating rod 11 is adapted to the width of the sliding groove 2 and the positions of the first connecting block 9 and the second connecting block 10, ensuring that the two ends can push or pull the connecting blocks synchronously during rotation, thus driving the sliding plate 3 to move smoothly. The surface of the rotating rod 11 is smooth, with little friction against the inner wall of the hinge hole, so it can still maintain rotational flexibility after long-term use. Moreover, the material of the rotating rod 11 is the same as that of the sliding plate 3 and the connecting blocks, ensuring mechanical performance matching and preventing breakage or deformation.
[0029] Furthermore, see Figure 6 In this embodiment, the ratchet 26 and the mounting bracket 25 are rotatably connected by a pin. Mounting holes are provided on both sides of the sliding frame 21. The two ends of the rotating shaft 22 pass through the mounting holes and are rotatably connected to the sliding frame 21 through the mounting holes. The pin is used to fix the position of the ratchet 26 so that it can rotate around the pin. The connection between the pin, the mounting bracket 25, and the ratchet 26 is tight and there is no looseness, ensuring that the ratchet 26 does not shift when rotating. The mounting hole is used to provide a mounting channel for the rotating shaft 22. Its diameter is adapted to the diameter of the rotating shaft 22. After the rotating shaft 22 passes through the mounting hole, it fits tightly against the hole wall and there is no obvious shaking when rotating. The mounting holes are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the sliding frame 21 to ensure that the axis of the rotating shaft 22 is horizontal. When rotating, the support plate 23 is subjected to uniform force and does not tilt. There is no obvious gap at the fit between the rotating shaft 22 and the mounting hole, preventing dust and debris from entering the interior of the sliding frame 21 and affecting the fit between the ratchet 26 and the ratchet wheel 28. At the same time, it reduces frictional wear during rotation and extends service life.
[0030] Also see Figure 4In this embodiment, the bottom of the second slider 20 is provided with a sliding protrusion, and the top of the sliding frame 21 is provided with a sliding groove. The sliding protrusion is embedded in the sliding groove, and the sliding protrusion and the sliding groove are slidably connected. The function of the sliding protrusion and the sliding groove is to guide the sliding frame 21 to slide up and down. They are both long strips, and their lengths are adapted to the lengths of the second slider 20 and the sliding frame 21 to ensure that they do not deviate during sliding. The surface of the sliding protrusion is smooth, and there is little friction with the inner wall of the sliding groove, so there is no jamming during sliding. The thickness of the sliding protrusion is uniform, ensuring that the sliding frame 21 is subjected to consistent force. Limiting structures are provided at both ends of the sliding protrusion to prevent the sliding frame 21 from sliding excessively and detaching from the second slider 20, thereby improving the safety of use. The depth of the sliding groove is adapted to the height of the sliding protrusion. After the sliding protrusion is embedded in the groove, there is no obvious loosening, ensuring that the sliding frame 21 moves smoothly and does not wobble from side to side, thereby ensuring that the height adjustment of the fixed base 16 is accurate.
[0031] Then, refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, guide grooves are provided on both inner walls of the sliding groove 2, and guide protrusions are provided on both sides of the sliding plate 3. The guide protrusions are embedded in the guide grooves and are slidably connected to the guide grooves. Limiting blocks are provided at both ends of the sliding groove 2 and are fixedly connected to the stamping body 1. The function of the guide protrusions and guide grooves is to cooperate in restricting the sliding direction of the sliding plate 3, ensuring that the sliding plate 3 can only move along the length direction of the sliding groove 2 and does not shift laterally or tilt. The shape of the guide protrusions is semi-circular, which corresponds to the shape of the guide grooves. The fit is tight and the sliding friction is small, allowing for smooth movement. The length of the guide protrusion matches the length of the sliding plate 3, ensuring that the sliding plate 3 has guiding support throughout its movement and does not wobble. The function of the limiting block is to limit the maximum sliding stroke of the sliding plate 3, preventing the sliding plate 3 from slipping out of the sliding groove 2 due to excessive sliding. The contact surface between the limiting block and the sliding plate 3 is flat and has no sharp protrusions to avoid damage to the sliding plate 3 when it collides. The connection between the limiting block and the stamping body 1 is firm and has no looseness, and can withstand the impact force when the sliding plate 3 collides, ensuring safety in use.
[0032] Finally, see Figure 1In this embodiment, the bottom of the mounting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding groove 2. The bottom of the first sliding groove 7 has a mounting groove, and the bottom of the first screw 12 is embedded in the mounting groove. The first screw 12 is rotatably connected to the first sliding groove 7 through the mounting groove. The first screw 12 and the through hole at the top of the mounting rod 6 fit together without any additional gap. The function of the mounting groove is to provide bottom support for the first screw 12, fix the bottom position of the first screw 12, ensure that the axis of the first screw 12 is perpendicular, and prevent tilting during rotation. The inner wall of the mounting groove is flush with the bottom of the first screw 12. The bottom of rod 12 fits tightly, with no obvious shaking during rotation, improving the rotational stability of the first screw 12. The through hole allows the first screw 12 to pass through the mounting rod 6. Its diameter matches the diameter of the first screw 12 without any obvious gap, preventing dust, rainwater, and other debris from entering the first slide groove 7 and affecting the fit between the first slider 8 and the first screw 12. The top of the first screw 12 extends to a moderate length outside the mounting rod 6, ensuring that the first internal hexagonal hole 13 can be fully exposed, facilitating tool insertion and operation, while avoiding excessive extension that could cause collision damage.
[0033] Example 2 See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the edges of the stamped part body 1 are provided with rounded corners. The radius of the rounded corners is moderate and there are no sharp edges, which avoids scratching the operators during installation. At the same time, it reduces stress concentration and improves the structural strength of the stamped part body 1. The top of the stamped part body 1 is provided with a positioning groove. The shape of the positioning groove is adapted to the positioning protrusion at the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit housing, which facilitates quick positioning of the relative position of the stamped part and the outdoor unit housing and avoids offset during installation. The depth of the positioning groove is shallow and does not affect the structural strength of the stamped part body 1. Moreover, there are at least two positioning grooves, which are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the stamped part body 1 to ensure accurate positioning.
[0034] See Figure 2 In this embodiment, a weight-reducing groove is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate 3. The weight-reducing groove is elongated and extends along the length of the sliding plate 3. It reduces its own weight without affecting the structural strength of the sliding plate 3 and reduces the difficulty of installation. There is at least one weight-reducing groove, which is evenly distributed at the bottom of the sliding plate 3 to ensure that the sliding plate 3 is subjected to uniform force and does not deform. The side of the sliding plate 3 fits tightly with the inner wall of the sliding groove 2 without obvious gaps to prevent shaking during sliding and reduce the entry of external debris into the sliding groove 2, which would affect the smoothness of sliding.
[0035] See Figure 4In this embodiment, the edge of the fixed base 16 is provided with a chamfered structure. The chamfer angle is moderate to avoid sharp edges scratching the mounting surface or operators. The surface of the fixed base 16 is smooth, without protrusions or depressions, to ensure a tight fit with the mounting surface. The inner wall of the fixing hole 17 is smooth and burr-free, making it easy for fasteners to pass through. The edge of the fixing hole 17 is provided with a countersunk groove, so that the head of the fastener can be embedded in the countersunk groove and does not protrude from the surface of the fixed base 16, ensuring that the fixed base 16 fits tightly with the mounting surface.
[0036] See Figure 5 In this embodiment, the surface of the crank handle 24 is provided with anti-slip texture. The texture is horizontal stripes, which increases the friction between the hand and the handle, preventing slippage during rotation. It maintains good grip even in humid environments. The length of the crank handle 24 is moderate and ergonomic, making it easy for the operator to hold and reducing fatigue during long-term operation. The weld between the crank handle 24 and the rotating shaft 22 is free of defects such as incomplete or missing welds, and the weld is firm enough to withstand the torque during rotation without breaking. Working principle: When using this high-strength metal sheet metal stamping part for the outdoor unit housing of an energy-saving air conditioner, first place it in the preset installation position so that the top of the stamping part body 1 fits against the bottom of the outdoor unit housing. The positioning groove on the top of the stamping part body 1 cooperates with the positioning protrusion on the bottom of the outdoor unit housing to quickly position the relative position of the two, ensuring that the stamping part is placed in the center and does not shift.
[0037] Adjust the spacing of the sliding plates 3. The operator holds an internal hexagon tool that matches the first internal hexagon hole 13 and inserts the tool into the first internal hexagon hole 13. According to the lateral dimension requirements of the mounting surface, the operator rotates the tool clockwise, causing the first screw 12 to rotate clockwise. Since the first screw 12 and the first slider 8 are threaded together, and the first slider 8 is restricted from rotating by the first slide groove 7, the rotation of the first screw 12 drives the first slider 8 to slide downward along the first slide groove 7. When the first slider 8 moves downward, it drives the first connecting blocks 9 on both sides to move downward simultaneously. The first connecting blocks 9 push the rotating rod 11 to rotate clockwise around the connection point on the inner wall of the sliding groove 2. The other end of the rotating rod 11 pushes the second connecting block away from the mounting rod 6. 10. The second connecting block 10 drives the sliding plate 3 to slide outward along the sliding groove 2, and the distance between the two sliding plates 3 gradually increases. If it is necessary to reduce the distance, rotate the tool counterclockwise, drive the first screw 12 to rotate counterclockwise, and the first slider 8 slides upward along the first sliding groove 7. The first connecting block 9 pulls the rotating rod 11 to rotate counterclockwise, and the second connecting block 10 drives the sliding plate 3 to slide inward, and the distance gradually decreases. During the adjustment process, observe the movement of the sliding plate 3. With the distribution of the fixed points on the mounting surface as a reference, when the sliding plate 3 moves to the position where the fixing component 4 can cover all the fixed points, stop rotating the tool. The thread self-locking characteristic of the first screw 12 fixes the position of the first slider 8 and keeps the distance between the sliding plates 3 stable.
[0038] After adjusting the lateral spacing of the fixed base 16 and the sliding plate 3, the operator holds an Allen wrench and inserts it into the second Allen hole 19. According to the lateral spacing requirements of the mounting surface fixing point, the operator rotates the wrench clockwise, causing the double-ended screw 18 to rotate clockwise. Since the two threads of the double-ended screw 18 rotate in opposite directions, the two second sliders 20 slide towards each other along the second slide groove 14. The second sliders 20 drive the sliding frame 21 and the fixed base 16 to move towards each other synchronously, and the lateral spacing between the fixed bases 16 gradually decreases. If the spacing needs to be increased, the operator rotates the wrench counterclockwise, causing the double-ended screw 18 to rotate counterclockwise. The two second sliders 20 slide in the opposite direction, and the fixed bases 16 move in the opposite direction synchronously, and the spacing gradually increases. During the adjustment process, the operator observes the alignment of the fixing hole 17 on the fixed base 16 with the mounting surface fixing point. When the fixing hole 17 is completely aligned with the fixing point, the operator stops rotating the wrench. The thread self-locking characteristic of the double-ended screw 18 fixes the position of the second slider 20, keeping the lateral spacing of the fixed base 16 stable.
[0039] Adjusting the height of the fixed base 16: For uneven mounting surfaces, the operator holds the crank handle 24 and rotates it clockwise according to the required height of the fixed base 16. This causes the rotating shaft 22 to rotate clockwise, which in turn rotates the support plate 23. The top of the support plate 23 then contacts the bottom of the second slider 20. As the support plate 23 rotates, its contact position with the second slider 20 gradually moves upward, pushing the sliding frame 21 upward relative to the second slider 20. The fixed base 16 rises synchronously with the sliding frame 21. To lower the height, the operator rotates the handle counterclockwise, causing the rotating shaft 22 to rotate counterclockwise. The support plate 23 rotates counterclockwise, and its contact position with the bottom of the second slider 20 gradually moves downward, causing the sliding frame 21 to rise synchronously. Under the influence of gravity and the pressure of the outdoor unit casing, the fixed base 16 slides downwards, reducing its height. During adjustment, the ratchet 26 remains engaged with the ratchet 28. When the rotating shaft 22 rotates in the forward direction, the ratchet 26 slides on the tooth surface of the ratchet 28, causing the elastic element to deform. After adjusting to the appropriate height, the operator releases the handle, and the rotating shaft 22 tends to rotate in the reverse direction. At this time, the ratchet 26, under the restoring force of the elastic element, engages in the tooth groove of the ratchet 28, restricting the reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 22 and locking the height of the fixed base 16. For cases where the mounting surface is tilted, the height of each fixed base 16 is adjusted separately, and the levelness of the stamped part body 1 is checked with a spirit level until the stamped part body 1 remains level and all fixed bases 16 are tightly fitted to the mounting surface.
[0040] Finally, after all adjustments are completed, the operator inserts the appropriate fixing bolts through the fixing holes 17 on the fixing base 16 and mates them with the pre-set threaded holes or expansion bolts on the mounting surface. Using a wrench, the bolts are tightened evenly to ensure that the fixing base 16 fits tightly against the mounting surface without any looseness. During the tightening process, avoid over-tightening a single bolt to prevent deformation of the fixing base 16. Ensure that the tightening force of all bolts is consistent. After fixing, gently shake the outdoor unit housing of the air conditioner to check for any looseness or displacement. Observe the locking status of each adjustment component 5 to ensure that the ratchet 26 and ratchet 28 are tightly engaged and that the first screw 12 and the double-acting screw 18 are not loose. If there are any problems, fine-tune the corresponding adjustment component 5 until it meets the installation requirements.
[0041] This stamped part can be flexibly adapted to different installation scenarios. On a flat installation surface, after adjusting the spacing of the sliding plate 3 and the lateral spacing of the fixed base 16, all fixed bases 16 are adjusted to the same height to ensure simultaneous contact with the installation surface. The threaded self-locking and ratchet 26 and ratchet 28 provide double protection to prevent loosening during long-term use. On a slightly inclined installation surface, the height of each fixed base 16 is adjusted separately to compensate for the tilt angle, keeping the stamped part body 1 level and preventing increased vibration during outdoor unit operation. On an installation surface with irregular fixing point spacing, the combination of adjusting the spacing of the sliding plate 3 and the lateral spacing of the fixed base 16 ensures that each fixing hole 17 can be accurately aligned with the fixing point without additional drilling or modification, simplifying the installation process. In humid outdoor environments, the surfaces of all components are treated with anti-rust technology, effectively resisting the corrosion of rain and moisture and extending service life.
[0042] All components of this stamped part are made of high-strength metal material consistent with the main body 1 of the stamped part, ensuring that the overall mechanical performance is matched and can withstand the weight load and operating vibration of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner without deformation or breakage. All connecting parts are welded or threaded, ensuring a firm connection without the risk of loosening. The transmission structure of the adjustment component 5 is reasonably designed, the adjustment process is smooth and without jamming, and the operation is convenient. No professional skills are required to complete the installation and adjustment, which greatly improves the installation efficiency and reduces the installation cost.
