Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fixing jigs, in particular to an adjustable fin condenser clamp structure and an air conditioner. Background Technique

[0002] A condenser is provided in an air conditioner, and the condenser includes fins. Since the fins will be bent at 90° before being put on the line, there is stress, which will cause a gap in the middle of the condenser. In order to prevent abnormal noise from occurring during the operation of the unit, a clamp is needed to restrain and clamp the fin core to eliminate the gap between them, thereby avoiding the generation of noise.

[0003] The prior art such as Chinese Patent: CN208025694U and Figure 1 as shown, both disclose a condenser clamp. The clamp includes two opposite vertical panels for fixing both sides of the condenser, and also includes a horizontal connecting plate connecting the two vertical panels. However, the relative positions between the two vertical panels are fixed in both solutions. In practice, there are often two-row condensers and three-row condensers in air conditioners. The thicknesses of the two types of condensers are different, so that the clamps in the prior art cannot be compatible with both, and an additional set of molds needs to be invested in production practice, increasing the investment in fixed costs. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To overcome the problem that the existing condenser clamp structure cannot be compatible with two-row condensers and three-row condensers, the utility model provides an adjustable fin condenser clamp structure and an air conditioner.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0006] The adjustable fin condenser clamp structure includes a first vertical panel, a second vertical panel and a horizontal connecting plate. The first vertical panel and the second vertical panel are arranged opposite to each other. The horizontal connecting plate is connected to the upper ends of the first vertical panel and the second vertical panel. At least two first bending parts are arranged below the horizontal connecting plate. The first bending parts are perpendicular to the first vertical panel and the horizontal connecting plate. Sliding grooves are arranged on the two first bending parts, and the extending direction of the sliding grooves is perpendicular to the direction of the first vertical panel. Sliding parts are fixedly arranged on both sides of the second vertical panel. The second vertical panel can slide in the sliding grooves through the sliding parts, so that the distance between the second vertical panel and the first vertical panel can be adjusted. A limiting part is also provided to limit the sliding of the second vertical panel along the sliding grooves.

[0007] In the present application, by providing a first bending portion below the horizontal connecting plate, further, a sliding groove is provided on the first bending portion for the second vertical panel to slide, so as to adjust the distance between the second vertical panel and the first vertical panel, enabling the clamp structure to be used for two-row condensers and three-row condensers. Further, a limiting member is also provided to limit the sliding of the second vertical panel, so that it can be stably fixed in a suitable position, achieving a good limiting effect.

[0008] In some embodiments, the two sides of the second vertical panel are bent away from the first vertical panel to form a second bending portion, and the second bending portion is in contact with the first bending portion.

By the abutment of the two second bending portions on both sides and the first bending portion, a good limiting effect can be achieved, facilitating the control of the sliding of the second vertical panel.

[0010] In some embodiments, threaded posts are provided on at least one side of the second vertical panel. The threaded posts are fixedly connected to the second bending portion. One end of the threaded post away from the second bending portion is provided with threads for locking by a nut. One end of the threaded post close to the second bending portion serves as a sliding portion, and one end of the threaded post away from the second bending portion and the nut serve as limiting members.

[0011] In this embodiment, based on the aforementioned second bending portion, it is preferable to use threaded posts and nuts as limiting members, which is simple and convenient to implement; and both ends of the threaded post serve the two functions of a sliding portion and a limiting member. Obviously, threads may not be provided at the end of the threaded post serving as a sliding portion.

[0012] In some embodiments, the limiting member further includes a bushing, two rows of limiting walls and three rows of limiting walls provided on the first bending portion. The bushing is sleeved on the threaded post; the inner wall of the bushing is D-shaped, and the threaded post is correspondingly arranged so that the bushing and the threaded post do not rotate relative to each other; the outer wall of the bushing is also D-shaped. When the bushing and the threaded post are adapted, the outer wall of the bushing can be in surface contact with the two rows of limiting walls or the three rows of limiting walls.

[0013] In this embodiment, by providing two rows of limiting walls and three rows of limiting walls on the first bending portion, it helps with positioning and achieves a limiting effect, facilitating the stable fixing of the second bending portion in a suitable position. Specifically, the two rows of limiting walls and the three rows of limiting walls are used in combination with the aforementioned bushing and threaded post.

[0014] In some embodiments, a threaded post is provided on one side of the sliding portion of the second vertical panel, and a limiting round handle is provided on the other side. The limiting round handle is connected to the second bending portion, and the connection area between the limiting round handle and the second bending portion serves as a sliding portion.

[0015] In this embodiment, one side uses a threaded post as the movable part, and the other side is provided with a limiting round handle. On the one hand, it can have a limiting effect, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the sliding adjustment of the second bending part.

[0016] In some embodiments, a fillet is provided at the entrance of the chute.

[0017] In this embodiment, by providing a fillet at the entrance of the chute, it is convenient for the introduction of the second vertical panel.

[0018] In some embodiments, a lower bending away from the first vertical panel is provided at the lower end of the second vertical panel.

[0019] In this embodiment, by providing the lower bending, it is convenient for the overall installation of the hoop from top to bottom, and it can avoid the phenomenon of fin reverse during the assembly process, which affects the heat exchange effect of the condenser.

[0020] The present utility model also provides an air conditioner, which includes the adjustable fin condenser hoop structure in any of the above embodiments.

Detailed implementation mode

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0036] The prior art is as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The existing clamp structure 3 is used for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner 1. The existing hoop structure 3 includes a first vertical panel 5 and a second vertical panel 6 arranged oppositely. The upper ends of the first vertical panel 5 and the second vertical panel 6 are connected by a horizontal connecting plate 4. The distance between the first vertical panel 5 and the second vertical panel 6 is adapted to the thickness of the condenser 2. The left side of the horizontal connecting plate 4 is also bent downward to form a mounting panel 7, so that the existing clamp structure 3 can be integrally installed and fixed on the motor bracket.

[0037] As shown in Figures 3 - 7 it specifically shows an adjustable fin condenser clamp structure 8 and an outdoor unit of an air conditioner 1 including the same.

[0038] The adjustable fin condenser clamp structure 8 includes a first vertical panel 5, a second vertical panel 6 and a horizontal connecting plate 4. The first vertical panel 5 and the second vertical panel 6 are arranged opposite to each other. The horizontal connecting plate 4 is connected to the upper ends of the first vertical panel 5 and the second vertical panel 6. At least two first bending portions 9 are arranged below the horizontal connecting plate 4. The first bending portions 9 are arranged perpendicular to the first vertical panel 5 and the horizontal connecting plate 4. Slide grooves 10 are arranged on the two first bending portions 9. The extension direction of the slide groove 10 is perpendicular to the direction of the first vertical panel 5. Sliding portions are fixed on both sides of the second vertical panel 6. The second vertical panel 6 can slide in the slide groove 10 through the sliding portion, so that the distance between the second vertical panel 6 and the first vertical panel 5 can be adjusted. A limiter is also provided for limiting the sliding of the second vertical panel 6 along the slide groove 10.

[0039] In the present application, by providing a first bending portion 9 below the horizontal connecting plate 4, and further, providing a slide groove 10 on the first bending portion 9 for the second vertical panel 6 to slide, the distance between the second vertical panel 6 and the first vertical panel 5 can be adjusted, so that the clamp structure can be used for two rows of condensers 2 and three rows of condensers 2. Furthermore, a limiting member is provided to limit the sliding of the second vertical panel 6 so that it can be stably fixed in a suitable position, achieving a good limiting effect.

[0040] In this embodiment, both sides of the second vertical panel 6 are bent away from the first vertical panel 5 to form the second bent portion 19, and the second bent portion 19 is in contact with the first bent portion 9. The second vertical panel 6 is bent to form the second bent portion 19, and the abutment of the second bent portion 19 and the first bent portion 9 on both sides can achieve a good limiting effect, which is convenient for controlling the sliding of the second vertical panel 6.

[0041] Depend on Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a top bend 20 is provided on the top of the second vertical panel 6 to enhance the structural strength, and a clearance hole is provided above the horizontal connecting plate 4, so that the top bend 20 can move when the second vertical panel 6 slides. In this solution, the clearance hole is also a process hole in the process of forming the first bend 9. Preferably, in this embodiment, the top surface of the top bend 20 is matched with the horizontal connecting plate 4, so that it is convenient to control the second vertical panel 6 to move vertically downward.

[0042] The aforementioned limiting member is used to fix and limit the second vertical panel 6 at a fixed position, that is, for the purpose of this application, to fix and limit the second vertical panel 6 at a position suitable for two-row condensers and three-row condensers. The limiting member obviously has a variety of structures and positions, such as common detachable forms such as snapping or bolting at an effective position.

[0043] In this embodiment, threaded posts 11 are provided on at least one side of the second vertical panel 6. The threaded posts 11 are fixedly connected to the second bending portion 19. One end of the threaded post 11 away from the second bending portion 19 is provided with threads for locking by a nut 12. One end of the threaded post 11 close to the second bending portion 19 serves as a sliding portion, and the end of the threaded post 11 away from the second bending portion 19 and the nut 12 serve as a limiting member.

[0044] Based on the aforementioned second bending portion 19, it is preferable to use the threaded post 11 and the nut 12 as the limiting members, which is simple and convenient to implement; and both ends of the threaded post 11 serve both as the sliding portion and the limiting member. Obviously, the end of the threaded post 11 serving as the sliding portion, that is, the end of the threaded post 11 close to the second bending portion 19, may not be provided with threads. Obviously, both sides of the sliding portion can be implemented as the threaded post 11.

[0045] In this embodiment, the limiting member further includes a bushing 16, two rows of limiting walls 13 and three rows of limiting walls 14 provided on the first bending portion 9. The bushing 16 is sleeved on the threaded post 11; the inner wall of the bushing 16 is D-shaped, and the threaded post 11 is correspondingly arranged so that the bushing 16 and the threaded post 11 do not rotate relative to each other; the outer wall of the bushing 16 is also D-shaped. When the bushing 16 and the threaded post 11 are adapted, the outer wall of the bushing 16 can achieve surface contact with the two rows of limiting walls 13 or the three rows of limiting walls 14. By providing the two rows of limiting walls 13 and the three rows of limiting walls 14 on the first bending portion 9, it helps with positioning and has a limiting effect, facilitating the stable fixing of the second bending portion 19 in a proper position. Specifically, the two rows of limiting walls 13 and the three rows of limiting walls 14 are used in combination with the aforementioned bushing 16 and threaded post 11.

[0046] The two rows of limiting walls 13 here mean that when the bushing 16 abuts against the two rows of limiting walls 13, the distance between the first vertical panel 5 and the second vertical panel 6 is adapted to the thickness of the two rows of condensers 2; similarly, the three rows of limiting walls 14 mean that when the bushing 16 abuts against the three rows of limiting walls, the distance between the first vertical panel 5 and the second vertical panel 6 is adapted to the thickness of the three rows of condensers 2. Obviously, when the two rows of limiting walls 13 are working, the bushing 16 is between the two rows of limiting walls 13 and the first vertical panel 5, so that the two rows of limiting walls 13 limit the movement direction of the second vertical panel 6 away from the first vertical panel 5; when the three rows of limiting walls 14 are working, the bushing 16 is between the three rows of limiting walls 14 and the first vertical panel 5, so that the three rows of limiting walls 14 limit the movement direction of the second vertical panel 6 away from the first vertical panel 5.

[0047] In this embodiment, a threaded post 11 is provided on one side of the sliding portion of the second vertical panel 6, and a limiting round handle 18 is provided on the other side. The limiting round handle 18 is connected to the second bending portion 19, and the connection area between the limiting round handle 18 and the second bending portion 19 serves as the sliding portion. One side uses the threaded post 11 as the movable portion, and the limiting round handle 18 is provided on the other side. On the one hand, it can have a limiting effect, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the sliding adjustment of the second bending portion 19.

[0048] In this embodiment, the horizontal connecting plate 4 and the first vertical panel 5 are integrally provided, and the second vertical panel 6 is separately provided from the former, so as to facilitate the processing and combination of each component.

[0049] In this embodiment, a fillet 15 is provided at the entrance of the chute 10 to facilitate the introduction of the second vertical panel 6.

[0050] In this embodiment, a lower bending 17 away from the lower end of the first vertical panel 5 is provided at the lower end of the second vertical panel 6. By providing the lower bending 17, it is convenient for the overall installation of the hoop from top to bottom, and it can avoid the phenomenon of fin reverse bending during the assembly process, which affects the heat exchange effect of the condenser 2.

[0051] In this embodiment, the side of the horizontal connecting plate 4 away from the first vertical panel 5 is bent downward to form a mounting panel 7. Obviously, the first bending portion 9 is located between the mounting panel 7 and the first vertical panel 5. The addition of the mounting panel 7 facilitates the fixation of the overall clamp. In practice, it is mounted and fixed to the motor bracket.

[0052] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
