Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to an air conditioning unit. Background Art

[0002] The antifreeze switch, also known as the antifreeze alarm, is an important device used to warn the unit when the temperature enters a dangerous range in the freezing season or to directly and automatically control the start and stop of the unit, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. It is mainly composed of a controller and a sensor, and is usually installed on the leeward side of the surface cooler.

[0003] The existing antifreeze switch component controller is usually installed and fixed in the following way: select an appropriate position on the leeward side of the surface cooler, and then use a marker to mark the installation and fixing point. Use a drill to pre-drill a fixing hole with a diameter of 3mm~5mm inside the unit. Pass the sensor copper tube of the antifreeze switch through the round hole and extend it into the box; use the accessory self-tapping screws to fix the controller on the installation plane.

[0004] However, the following problems are likely to occur when using the above installation steps: On the one hand, if the marking position is wrong during fixing, the controller cannot be installed normally, and it is necessary to re-mark the position and drill holes before fixing. In addition, when the hole position is close to the cooler position, the sensor copper tube will contact the cooler end plate sheet metal when it is arranged on the leeward side. The micro-vibration generated during the transportation of the unit or when the unit is running will increase the risk of the sensor copper tube wearing and leaking, causing the sensor to fail to work properly.

[0005] On the other hand, when the sensor copper tube is passed into the unit, since the fixing hole is drilled on site, burrs are easily generated on the edge of the hole, and there is a risk of scratches when the sensor copper tube is inserted. In addition, in order to reduce the air leakage rate of the unit, the hole needs to be sealed after the sensor is installed, usually by applying sealant. This method is difficult to operate during subsequent disassembly and replacement, and it also increases the possibility of damage to the sensor copper tube.

In addition, the utility model provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art may be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0053] This embodiment discloses an air conditioning unit, such as an air conditioning unit, a cabinet unit, a ceiling air conditioning unit, a ceiling jet unit, etc. When the air conditioning unit is used in cold areas, the air conditioning unit is equipped with an antifreeze switch.

[0054] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 The air conditioning unit includes a housing 100, a mounting cavity is formed in the housing 100, and components such as a surface cooler 200, a fan, and a water receiving pan are arranged in the mounting cavity. The surface cooler 200 is used to exchange heat with the gas flowing through it. The fan is used to drive the gas circulation. The water receiving pan is used to receive the condensed water dripping from the surface cooler 200. Figure 2 Components such as the fan are omitted in order to illustrate the installation structure on the surface cooler 200.

[0055] The antifreeze switch is also called an antifreeze alarm. The antifreeze switch is installed on the surface cooler 200 and is used to control the switch of the circuit according to the temperature of the surface cooler 200. In other words, the antifreeze switch is used to warn the unit temperature to enter a dangerous range in the freezing season or to directly and automatically control the start and stop of the unit, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0056] The antifreeze switch is mainly composed of a controller 300 and a sensor 600. The sensor 600 is usually installed on the leeward side of the air conditioner condenser 200. The sensor 600 is used to detect the temperature of the heat exchanger tube of the condenser 200. The sensor 600 uploads the detected reaching temperature information to the controller 300, and the controller 300 then uploads the temperature information to the control system of the air conditioner unit.

[0057] The working principle of the antifreeze switch is: the capillary tube of the sensor 600 is filled with refrigerant. Since the capillary tube of the sensor 600 is in contact with the heat exchange tube of the surface cooler 200, heat exchange occurs between the two, causing the temperature of the capillary tube of the sensor 600 to change. The pressure generated by thermal expansion and contraction pushes the spring in the controller 300, driving the normally open and normally closed contacts to switch.

[0058] In this application, the air conditioning unit includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and the air conditioning unit performs the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation to cool or heat the indoor space.

[0059] The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0060] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator can achieve a cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant to exchange heat with the material to be cooled. In the entire cycle, the air conditioner can adjust the temperature of the indoor space.

[0061] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner refers to a portion of a refrigeration cycle including a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve may be provided in the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.

[0062] The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger function as a condenser or an evaporator. When the indoor heat exchanger functions as a condenser, the air conditioner functions as a heater in a heating mode, and when the indoor heat exchanger functions as an evaporator, the air conditioner functions as a cooler in a cooling mode.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 In the outdoor unit shown, the controller is arranged on the outside of the outdoor unit housing. The present application focuses on improving the fixing structure of the controller on the housing, which can not only realize the convenient fixing of the controller, but also reduce the impact on the sensor.

[0064] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioning unit also includes:

[0065] A first fixing member 400 is disposed on the side wall 110 of the housing 100 ; the first fixing member 400 is fixedly connected to the controller 300 ;

[0066] The second fixing member 500 is plugged into the side wall 110 of the housing 100 , and the capillary of the sensor 600 passes through the second fixing member 500 and is connected to the controller 300 .

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the first fixing member 400 is used to connect the controller 300 and the housing 100 to prevent the controller 300 from being unable to adjust its installation position at will when the controller 300 is directly installed on the housing 100.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first fixing member 400 includes a mounting plate 410 and a first contact member 420 and a second contact member 430 symmetrically arranged; the first contact member 420 and the second contact member 430 are respectively fixed on both sides of the mounting plate 410; the first contact member 420 and the second contact member 430 are in contact with and fixedly connected to the side wall 110.

[0069] The mounting plate 410 is provided with a plurality of mounting portions 411 for fixing the controller 300 .

[0070] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the mounting portion 411 may be a through hole opened on the mounting plate 410 .

[0071] The mounting portion 411 can be used to fix the controller 300 on the mounting plate 410 by cooperating with fixing parts such as screws.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of limiting portions 412 are further provided on the mounting plate 410 ; the plurality of limiting portions 412 form a positioning space, and during the installation process, the controller 300 is embedded in the positioning space.

[0073] The limiting portion 412 may be a structure that is bent upward relative to the plane of the mounting plate 410 . The limiting portion 412 may be in contact with the housing of the controller 300 to limit its displacement on the mounting plate 410 .

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, there are four limiting portions 412 , which are distributed on both sides and the bottom of the controller 300 , and can better support and assist in fixing the controller 300 during the installation process.

[0075] Two of the limiting portions 412 are located at two sides of the controller 300 , respectively, and the other two limiting portions 412 are located at the bottom of the controller 300 .

[0076] The setting of the limiting portion 412 can better position the controller 300 on the mounting plate 410 , thereby improving the installation efficiency of the controller 300 .

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first contact member 420 and the second contact member 430 are structures respectively bent at two sides of the mounting plate 410 toward the side wall 110 .

[0078] That is, the first contact member 420 and the second contact member 430 are directly fixedly connected to the side wall 110 of the housing 100. The first contact member 420 and the second contact member 430 are arranged as a bent structure, which can effectively increase the gap between the mounting plate 410 and the side wall 110 of the housing 100, thereby providing installation space for the second fixing member 500.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the first contact member 420 includes a first supporting portion 421 and a first fitting portion 422 ; the second contact member 430 includes a second supporting portion 431 and a second fitting portion 432 ; and a gap is formed between the first fitting portion 422 and the second fitting portion 432 and the mounting plate 410 .

[0080] The first contact member 420 and the second contact member 430 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged. The first contact member 420 is taken as an example.

[0081] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first support portion 421 is a structure in which the edge of the mounting plate 410 is bent inwardly, and the width of the first support portion 421 determines the width of the gap. The gap is set to provide installation space for the second fixing member 500.

[0082] The first supporting portion 421 may be disposed perpendicular to a plane direction of the mounting plate 410 .

[0083] The first fitting portion 422 is fixedly connected to the first supporting portion 421 , and the two may be an integrally formed structure.

[0084] The first fitting portion 422 is used to fit and fix with the side wall 110 of the housing 100. The first fitting portion 422 can be arranged parallel to the mounting plate 410.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to connect the first fixing member 400 to the side wall 110, a first connecting hole 423 is provided on the first fitting portion 422, and the first fixing member 400 can be installed on the side wall 110 by using fixing members such as screws in cooperation with the first connecting hole 423.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, a second connection hole 413 coaxial with the first connection hole 423 is opened at a corresponding position of the mounting plate 410, and screws and other fixing parts are directly connected to the side wall 110 through the second connection hole 413 on the mounting plate 410 and the first connection hole 423 on the first fitting portion 422 in sequence.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the first connecting holes 423 for fixing the first fixing member 400 is four, and the first fitting parts 422 and the second fitting parts 432 are respectively provided with two, and the position of the second connecting hole 413 corresponding to the second connecting hole 413 on the mounting plate 410 is for the top corner, which can effectively improve the fixing strength of the first fixing member 400 and solve the problem that the first fixing member 400 is not firmly fixed.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Fig.10 As shown, the second fixing member 500 includes a connecting tube 510 and a connecting plate 520, wherein the connecting plate 520 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting tube 510; the connecting plate 520 is fixed on the side wall 110 of the shell 100; the connecting tube 510 passes through the side wall 110 of the shell 100 and extends into the installation cavity; the capillary passes through the inner cavity of the connecting tube 510.

[0089] The connection disk 520 is fixed at either end of the connection pipe 510 . The connection pipe 510 is divided into a first branch pipe portion 511 and a second branch pipe portion 512 with the connection disk 520 as a boundary.

[0090] As mentioned Fig.10 Taking the second fixing member 500 as an example, the length of the second branch pipe portion 512 is greater than the length of the first branch pipe portion 511. The first straight pipe portion and the connecting plate 520 are both located outside the installation cavity, that is, outside the side wall 110 of the housing 100; the second branch pipe portion 512 is located inside the installation cavity, and the capillary of the sensor 600 passes through the port 513 of the second branch pipe portion 512, and then passes through the port 513 of the first straight pipe portion to the controller 300.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner diameter of the port 513 of the second branch portion 512 gradually decreases in a direction away from the connecting plate 520 so as to better fit the outer diameter of the capillary tube, thereby reducing the air leakage rate of the unit.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, a sealing member for sealing the capillary tube and the port 513 is provided at the port 513 of the connecting tube 510 close to the sensor 600 .

[0093] As mentioned Fig.10 Taking the second fixing member 500 shown as an example, a seal is arranged at the port 513 of the second branch pipe portion 512, i.e., the pressure taking port. The seal can be made of sealing tape. The sealing tape wraps the pressure taking port and the capillary tube to seal, thereby reducing the air leakage rate of the unit and solving the problem of subsequent disassembly difficulties.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the connection plate 520 is provided with symmetrical fixing holes, which are used to cooperate with fixing members such as screws to install the second fixing member 500 on the side wall 110.

[0101] The avoidance hole 414 is in the shape of a long hole. During the installation process, the capillary of the sensor 600 passes through the connecting tube 510 and reaches the controller 300 through the avoidance hole 414. The setting of the long hole shape can adjust the problem of the center of the connecting tube 510 and the controller 300 not being concentric, thereby improving the fault tolerance space.
