For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application first discloses a protective structure for a heat pump heater, which is used to collect impurities carried in the air to prevent these debris from accumulating on the top of the outdoor unit 1, ensure the cleanliness of the surface of the outdoor unit 1, and prevent debris from corroding the surface of the machine body or falling into the inside of the machine to cause damage to the machine.

[0030] The protective structure of the heat pump heating machine includes a box body 2 and a collecting mechanism. The top of the box body 2 is opened, and the box body 2 is used to be installed on the top of the outdoor unit 1; the collecting mechanism includes a collecting box 3 and a supporting platform 4, the collecting box 3 is suspended in the box body 2, the side walls of the collecting box 3 are in contact with the side walls of the inner cavity of the box body 2, and the collecting box 3 can slide relative to the box body 2; the collecting box 3 is used to collect debris that falls into the box body 2; the supporting platform 4 is arranged on one side of the bottom of the box body 2, and the supporting platform 4 is used to carry the collecting box 3; a connecting port 5 for the collecting box 3 to pass through is opened on one side of the box body 2 corresponding to the supporting platform 4, and the collecting box 3 moves to the supporting platform 4 through the connecting port 5 after reaching a preset weight.

[0031] During use, the protective structure is installed on the top of the heat pump heater, and debris falling from the air, such as fallen leaves, branches, and bird droppings, will fall into the collection box 3 through the top opening of the box body 2, preventing these debris from accumulating on the top of the outdoor unit 1, ensuring the surface of the outdoor unit 1 is clean, and preventing debris from corroding the surface of the body or falling into the inside of the machine to cause damage to the machine. As the amount of debris in the collection box 3 increases, the weight of the collection box 3 gradually increases. When the collection box 3 reaches a preset weight, the collection box 3 falls off from the box body 2 and moves to the support platform 4 through the connecting port 5, so that the garbage collected in the collection box 3 can be cleaned in time.

[0032] In one embodiment, the tops of the opposite pair of side walls of the collection box 3 are provided with flanges 6, which are formed by folding the side walls of the collection box 3. The collection box 3 can be a paper box or a plastic box, and the flanges 6 can be turned relative to the collection box 3 through the folds. The opposite pair of side walls of the box body 2 are provided with a clamping groove 7 for the flanges 6 to pass through, and the clamping groove 7 is connected to the internal space of the box body 2. When placing the collection box 3, the flanges 6 of the collection box 3 are inserted into the clamping groove 7. Since there is friction between the flanges 6 and the box body 2 through the clamping groove 7, the friction is greater than the gravity when the collection box 3 does not collect debris, so that the collection box 3 is suspended in the box body 2; when the collection box 3 collects debris and reaches a preset weight, the collection box 3 falls and moves to the support platform 4 through the connecting port 5. It can be understood that the preset weight recorded in this application is the weight of the collection box 3 when its gravity is greater than the friction between the flanges 6 and the box body 2 after collecting debris.

[0033] In one embodiment, the inner height of the top of the box body 2 is set lower than the outer height, so that the debris falling on the top of the box body 2 can automatically fall into the collection box 3.

[0034] In one embodiment, a slope 8 is provided at the bottom of the box body 2, and the slope 8 is connected to the support platform 4 through the connecting port 5, and the height of one end of the slope 8 close to the support platform 4 is lower than the height of the other end. By providing the slope 8, the collection box 3 can automatically slide onto the support platform 4 under the action of gravity after falling onto the slope 8.

[0035] In one embodiment, the upper surface of the support platform 4 is recessed with a limiting groove 9 adapted to the collection box 3, and one side of the limiting groove 9 is opened and connected to the lower end of the slope 8 through the connecting port 5. The limiting groove 9 limits the collection box 3, so that the collection box 3 will not fall off the support platform 4 when it falls onto the support platform 4, thereby ensuring safety.

[0036] In one embodiment, the heat pump heating machine protection structure also includes a guiding and shielding mechanism 10, which is used to shield the supporting platform 4 or the box body 2. When it is raining or snowing, the guiding and shielding mechanism 10 shields the box body 2 so that rain and snow will not fall into the collection box 3; when it is not raining or snowing, the guiding and shielding mechanism 10 shields the supporting platform 4 so that debris will not easily fall onto the supporting platform 4.

[0037] Specifically, the guide shielding mechanism 10 includes a mounting frame 101, a shielding plate 102, and a driving member 103. The mounting frame 101 is fixedly mounted on a side of the box body 2 where the connecting port 5 is provided, and the top of the mounting frame 101 is higher than the top of the box body 2; the shielding plate 102 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame 101, the shielding plate 102 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 101, and the shielding plate 102 is arranged higher than the top of the box body 2; the driving member 103 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame 101, the driving member 103 is transmission-connected to the shielding plate 102 and drives the shielding plate 102 to rotate, and the driving member 103 is preferably a motor. The shielding plate 102 has a first position and a second position. When the driving member 103 drives the shielding plate 102 to rotate to the first position, the shielding plate 102 shields the top of the box body 2; when the driving member 103 drives the shielding plate 102 to rotate to the second position, the shielding plate 102 shields the supporting platform 4.

[0038] In one embodiment, a plurality of guide grooves 11 are arranged at intervals on one side of the shielding plate 102 facing the box body 2. The plurality of guide grooves 11 are arranged side by side at equal intervals. The extending direction of the guide grooves 11 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the shielding plate 102. The guide grooves 11 penetrate the opposite sides of the shielding plate 102. By providing the guide grooves 11, when debris falls onto the shielding plate 102, the debris will slide along the guide grooves 11 into the collection box 3.

[0039] In one embodiment, the heat pump heating machine protection structure further includes a first support frame 12, which is installed on the side of the box body 2 where the connecting port 5 is provided, and the upper part of the first support frame 12 is inclined. When the shielding plate 102 rotates to the second position, the shielding plate 102 abuts against the first support frame 12. When the driving member 103 is powered off, the first support frame 12 supports the shielding plate 102, so that the shielding plate 102 can be maintained in the second position.

[0040] In one embodiment, the heat pump heating machine protection structure further includes a second support frame 13, which is installed on the side wall of the box body 2, and the second support frame 13 is arranged opposite to the first support frame 12, and the top of the second support frame 13 is higher than the top of the box body 2. When the shielding plate 102 rotates to the first position, the shielding plate 102 abuts against the second support frame 13. When the driving member 103 is powered off, the second support frame 13 supports the shielding plate 102, so that the shielding plate 102 can be maintained in the first position.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application also discloses a heat pump heater, including an outdoor unit 1 and a heat pump heater protection structure provided in the above embodiment, wherein a box body 2 of the heat pump heater protection structure is installed on the top of the outdoor unit 1 to protect the outdoor unit 1 and collect debris falling from the air so that the debris will not accumulate on the top of the outdoor unit 1, thereby preventing the debris from corroding the surface of the machine body or falling into the inside of the machine and causing damage to the machine.

[0042] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the outdoor unit 1 is also provided with an inclined support frame 14, which is located below the supporting platform 4. The upper end of the inclined support frame 14 is connected to the lower surface of the supporting platform 4. The inclined support frame 14 supports the supporting platform 4, making the connection between the supporting platform 4 and the box body 2 more stable, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the heat pump heating machine.
