Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air-conditioning accessories, and in particular to an integrated air-conditioning valve seat assembly. Background Art

[0002] In order to achieve the heat exchange function, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner will be equipped with multiple valve body structures for controlling the flow direction and flow rate of the coolant. In order to prevent the pipes connected to the valve body from being subjected to additional stress, the valve body is usually fixed to the shell of the outdoor unit or the internal mounting frame. However, the existing mounting frames for configuring the air conditioner valve body are mostly thin metal plates. If the pipes connected to the valve body are subjected to tension, the metal plates may be deformed, destroying the flatness of the surface packaging of the air conditioner shell. Of course, the metal plate can be thickened to improve its ability to resist deformation, but this will undoubtedly increase the weight of the outdoor equipment. Summary of the invention

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the configuration platform includes a flat plate, and the sides of the flat plate are provided with inclined plates, and the inclined plates and the flat plate together form a quadrangular pyramid shape, which is beneficial for dispersing the force to the inclined plates which are no longer in the same plane when the valve body is subjected to force, thereby suppressing the deformation of the flat plate.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the flat plate has an inner countersunk ring punched from one end surface to the other end surface, and the through hole is located in the center of the inner countersunk ring and penetrates the two end surfaces of the inner countersunk ring for bolts and other connecting parts parallel to the mounting side of the external casing to pass through to achieve a fastened connection.

[0007] As a preference, the two outer connecting plates are respectively connected to the edges of the two inclined plates on opposite sides, and the two outer connecting plates are parallel to the flat plate and directly fit with the outer side surface of the air conditioner outer unit casing.

[0008] Preferably, each of the outer connecting plates has a transverse countersunk ring formed by stamping one end surface toward the other end surface near the two ends, and the outer connecting hole is located in the center of the transverse countersunk ring and passes through the two end surfaces of the transverse countersunk ring for the connecting parts perpendicular to the external machine housing to pass through.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the outer connecting plate is further provided with a load-reducing groove, and the load-reducing groove is located between the two transverse sinking rings. Under the premise of ensuring structural stability, it reduces consumables, lowers dead weight, and achieves lightweight.

[0010] As a preference, the two inner connecting plates are respectively connected to the edges of the two inclined plates on the other opposite side, and the two inner connecting plates are perpendicular to the flat plate; a clearance groove is formed between the two outer connecting plates and the inclined plates, and the inner connecting plates are located in the clearance groove. In fact, the inner connecting plates are originally located in the clearance groove.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, each of the inner connecting plates has a longitudinal countersunk ring punched from one end face to the other end face, and the inner connecting hole is located at the center of the longitudinal countersunk ring and passes through the two end faces of the longitudinal countersunk ring; the inner connecting plate is also provided with a positioning groove passing through the two end faces, which plays a pre-positioning role and can improve the assembly accuracy.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0013] (1) A three-dimensional structure is formed by stamping, cutting and bending a metal plate, and connected to the outer housing in different directions in the vertical and horizontal directions, so that effective force distribution is achieved, so that the air-conditioning valve made of thinner metal materials has higher structural stability. When the air-conditioning valve body is subjected to a large force, the upper limit of the force to which it can deform is effectively improved;

[0014] (2) The design has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and is light in weight. Although the installation process is more complicated, the cost of use and maintenance is lower because it is not easy to deform and can maintain the flatness of the air conditioner outdoor unit housing for a long time, so it almost does not need to be replaced.

[0025] like Figure 1-5The integrated air conditioning valve seat assembly shown in the figure includes a configuration platform 1 for installing the air conditioning valve. The configuration platform 1 is provided with a through hole 104 for the connection end of the air conditioning valve to pass through, usually from the outside of the air conditioning outdoor unit to the inside. The specific structure of the configuration platform 1 includes a rectangular flat plate 101, and the sides of the flat plate 101 are provided with inclined plates 102. Each inclined plate 102 has a certain angle relative to the flat plate 101, and the inclined plates 102 and the flat plate 101 together form a quadrangular pyramid shape. Usually, the entire configuration platform 1 is stamped into a It is in the shape of a regular quadrangular pyramid. When the configuration platform 1 is installed, the end with the larger end face will face the shell of the air-conditioning outdoor unit. The flat plate 101 has an inner sink ring 103 punched from one end face to the other end face, which is used to fit with the shell of the air-conditioning valve to improve the connection stability. Usually, it is punched in the direction close to the air-conditioning outdoor unit shell. The through hole 104 is located in the center of the inner sink ring 103, and the axes of the two are colinear. The through hole 104 passes through the two end faces of the inner sink ring 103 for the air-conditioning valve body connecting end to pass through to achieve fixed installation.

[0026] The configuration platform 1 has an outer connecting plate 2 on an opposite side, and the two outer connecting plates 2 are symmetrical structures. The outer connecting plates 2 are parallel to the configuration platform 1. In fact, the two outer connecting plates 2 are respectively connected to the edges of the two inclined plates 102 on the opposite sides. The two outer connecting plates 2 are parallel to the flat plate 101 and are still relatively inclined to the inclined plates 102. Outer connecting holes 203 are opened on the outer connecting plates 2. In fact, each outer connecting plate 2 has a transverse sink ring 202 formed by stamping one end surface to the other end surface near the two ends. The outer connecting hole 203 is located in the center of the transverse sink ring 202, and the axes of the two are in line, and the outer connecting hole 203 passes through The two vertical end faces of the transverse countersunk ring 202 are used for bolts and other connecting parts to pass through, and tightening is achieved in a direction perpendicular to the outer side of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The outer connecting plate 2 is also provided with a load-reducing groove 201. Under the premise of ensuring the structural strength of the outer connecting plate 2 itself, consumables and weight are reduced to achieve lightweight. The load-reducing groove 201 is located between the two transverse countersunk rings 202, so that the material symmetry of the outer connecting plate 2 will be better, and the center of gravity is located in the central position. In fact, the outer surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit casing also has a protruding structure with a similar shape to the load-reducing groove 201, which can fit with the load-reducing groove 201, thereby dispersing the shear stress on the connecting parts passing through the outer connecting hole 203.

[0027] The configuration platform 1 has an inner connecting plate 3 on the other opposite side, which is used to connect with the internal structure of the air conditioner outer shell. The inner connecting plate 3 is perpendicular to the configuration platform 1, that is, the two inner connecting plates 3 are respectively connected to the edges of the two inclined plates 102 on the other opposite sides, that is, the two inner connecting plates 3 are perpendicular to the flat plate 101, and there is also a certain angle between the two inner connecting plates 3 and the inclined plates 102. A clearance groove 304 is formed between the two outer connecting plates 2 and the inclined plates 102, and the inner connecting plates 3 are just located in the clearance groove 304. In fact, the two inner connecting plates 3 and the two outer connecting plates 2 are integrated, but the clearance groove 304 and the inner connecting plates 3 are formed by cutting and bending. The inner connecting plates 3 are all provided with inner connecting holes 303. In fact, each inner connecting plate 3 has a longitudinal The sinker ring 302 and the inner connecting hole 303 are located in the center of the longitudinal sinker ring 302, and the axes of the two are colinear, and the inner connecting hole 303 passes through the two horizontal end surfaces of the longitudinal sinker ring 302, so that bolts and other connecting parts can pass through and fasten the inner connecting plate 3 and the horizontal connecting structure inside the shell in a direction parallel to the outer side surface of the air-conditioning outer shell together, thereby suppressing the entire air-conditioning valve seat from moving along the outer side surface of the air-conditioning outer shell. In order to improve the installation accuracy of the entire air-conditioning valve seat, a positioning groove 301 passing through the two end surfaces is also provided on the inner connecting plate 3, which plays a role of pre-positioning during installation on the one hand; on the other hand, the inside of the air-conditioning outer shell also has a protruding structure that fits with the positioning groove 301, which can disperse the shear stress on the connecting parts passing through the inner connecting hole 303, thereby improving the structural stability of the air-conditioning valve seat after installation.

[0028] Installation method: The air conditioning valve seat is installed on the outer side of the air conditioning outer shell, usually installed longitudinally. Before installation, first connect the required valve body with the through hole 104 of the configuration table 1, then make the inner connecting plates 3 close to each other and insert them into the through grooves opened in the air conditioning outer shell, so that the positioning grooves 301 on the inner connecting plates 3 fit with the raised structure inside the outer shell to achieve pre-positioning, then use bolts to pass through the outer connecting holes 203 of the outer connecting plates 2 to fix the outer connecting plates 2 to the outer shell, and finally use bolts to pass through the inner connecting holes 303 of the inner connecting plates 3 to fasten the inner connecting plates 3 to the internal fixed structure of the outer shell to achieve installation.
