Detailed Embodiments

[0029] The present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the following embodiments.

[0030] By Figures 1 to 5It can be known that a frost-proof sensor bracket described in this embodiment includes a mounting base 2; the mounting base 2 is provided with a mounting tube 21; an installation cavity is provided in the mounting tube 21; one end of the mounting base 2 is provided with a first clamping plate 61; the other end of the mounting base 2 is provided with a clamping assembly; the first clamping plate 61 and the clamping assembly are used to clamp the refrigerant pipe 11.

[0031] After the first clamping plate 61 and the clamping assembly respectively clamp the refrigerant pipe 11, the axial direction of the mounting tube 21 is inclined with respect to the axial direction of the refrigerant pipe 11.

[0032] Specifically, when the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment is in use, first, the sensor is installed in the installation cavity of the mounting tube 21, and then the first clamping plate 61 and the clamping assembly are respectively clamped on the refrigerant pipe 11. After the first clamping plate 61 and the clamping assembly respectively clamp the refrigerant pipe 11, the axial direction of the mounting tube 21 is inclined downward with respect to the axial direction of the refrigerant pipe 11, so that the condensed water formed by the heat dissipation fins 12 or rainwater outdoors can flow down quickly along the outer wall of the mounting tube 21, effectively preventing the condensed water from accumulating on the surface of the mounting tube 21; secondly, the mounting tube 21 can be set in a frustum shape, so as to enhance the inclination between the top surface of the mounting tube 21 and the axial direction of the refrigerant pipe 11, and further prevent the condensed water from accumulating on the surface of the mounting tube 21.

[0033] A frost-proof sensor bracket described in this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a first assembly plate 3 provided at the other end of the mounting base 2; a second clamping plate 62 is provided on the side of the first assembly plate 3 away from the mounting base 2; the first clamping plate 61 and the second clamping plate 62 cooperate to clamp the refrigerant pipe 11.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first clamping plate 61 and the second clamping plate 62 are jointly clamped on the refrigerant pipe 11, so that the overall structure is stable and reliable.

[0035] A frost-proof sensor bracket described in this embodiment, the mounting tube 21 is provided on the first assembly plate 3; the axial direction of the mounting tube 21 is perpendicular to the plane where the first assembly plate 3 is located; a first inclination angle a1 is provided between the plane where the first clamping plate 61 is located and the plane where the first assembly plate 3 is located.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, through the above settings, during installation, since the plane where the first clamping plate 61 is located needs to be perpendicular to the axial direction of the refrigerant pipe 11, and there is a first inclination angle a1 between the plane where the first clamping plate 61 is located and the plane where the first assembly plate 3 is located, the plane where the first assembly plate 3 is located cannot be perpendicular to the axial direction of the refrigerant pipe 11. Additionally, since the axial direction of the installation pipe 21 is perpendicular to the plane where the first assembly plate 3 is located, through the above settings, the axial direction of the installation pipe 21 can be inclined relative to the axial direction of the refrigerant pipe 11, and the inclination angle is the same as the angle of the first inclination angle a1.

[0037] For the anti-freezing sensor bracket described in this embodiment, a second assembly plate 4 is provided between the first assembly plate 3 and the second clamping plate 62; one end of the first assembly plate 3 is connected to the other end of the mounting base 2; a flexible plate 7 is provided between the other end of the first assembly plate 3 and one end of the second assembly plate 4; after the second assembly plate 4 is flipped through the flexible plate 7, the plane where the second assembly plate 4 is located is parallel to the plane where the first assembly plate 3 is located; a baffle plate 5 is provided between the other end of the second assembly plate 4 and the second clamping plate 62; the baffle plate 5 is used to abut against the heat dissipation fins 12.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, by providing the first assembly plate 3, the flexible plate 7, and the second assembly plate 4, the second assembly plate 4 can be flipped at the flexible plate 7, so as to cooperate with the first assembly plate 3 to fix the sensor in the installation cavity.

[0039] In addition, after the second assembly plate 4 is flipped, the baffle plate 5 abuts against the heat dissipation fins 12, thereby effectively preventing the first clamping plate 61 and the second clamping plate 62 from rotating along the circumferential direction of the refrigerant pipe 11.

[0040] For the anti-freezing sensor bracket described in this embodiment, the plane where the baffle plate 5 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the second assembly plate 4 is located; there is a second inclination angle a2 between the plane where the second clamping plate 62 is located and the plane where the second assembly plate 4 is located. For the anti-freezing sensor bracket described in this embodiment, the angles of the first inclination angle a1 and the second inclination angle a2 are both 1 - 10 degrees. In this case, the condensed water formed by the heat dissipation fins 12 or the rainwater outdoors can flow down quickly along the outer wall of the installation pipe 21; at the same time, in this case, the anti-freezing sensor bracket can also be stably installed on the refrigerant pipe 11.

[0041] In addition, when the angle is greater than 10 degrees, the height difference formed by the first clamping plate 61 and the second clamping plate 62 will become larger, and if the difference is too large, they cannot be clamped on the same refrigerant pipe 11; when the angle is less than 1 degree, the difference will be too small to form an effective inclination.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, a second inclination angle a2 is provided between the plane where the second clamping plate 62 is located and the plane where the second assembly plate 4 is located, and the angle of the first inclination angle a1 is the same as that of the second inclination angle a2; since the plane where the second assembly plate 4 is located is parallel to the plane where the first assembly plate 3 is located, the angle of the first inclination angle a1 is the same as that of the second inclination angle a2, that is, the plane where the first clamping plate 61 is located can be parallel to the plane where the second clamping plate 62 is located, so that the first clamping plate 61 and the second clamping plate 62 can be stably fixed on the refrigerant pipe 11.

[0043] For the anti-freezing sensor bracket described in this embodiment, the first clamping plate 61 is provided with a first clamping groove 63; the second clamping plate 62 is provided with a second clamping groove 64; the first clamping groove 63 abuts against the top of the refrigerant pipe 11; the second clamping groove 64 abuts against the bottom of the refrigerant pipe 11.

[0044] Specifically, when a first inclination angle a1 is formed between the plane where the first clamping plate 61 is located and the plane where the first assembly plate 3 is located, and a second inclination angle a2 is formed between the plane where the second clamping plate 62 is located and the plane where the second assembly plate 4 is located, the entire anti-freezing sensor bracket is inclined, and after the second assembly plate 4 is flipped, the height of the second clamping groove 64 is higher than that of the first clamping groove 63, so that the first clamping groove 63 abuts against the top of the refrigerant pipe 11; the second clamping groove 64 abuts against the bottom of the refrigerant pipe 11. Through the above clamping method with height difference, compared with the traditional horizontal clamping method, the sensor bracket can be clamped on the refrigerant pipe 11 more effectively.

[0045] For the anti-freezing sensor bracket described in this embodiment, an inclined slope 24 is provided between the top of the mounting pipe 21 and the mounting seat 2. Through the above setting, the condensation water can flow down faster, and at the same time, it can prevent rainwater and the like from remaining and accumulating at the folded edge connection of the surfaces.

[0046] For the anti-freezing sensor bracket described in this embodiment, the first assembly plate 3 is provided with a mounting hole 31 communicating with one end of the mounting cavity; an installation component for fixing the sensor is provided between the first assembly plate 3 and the second assembly plate 4; the installation component includes a connection hole 41 penetrating through the second assembly plate 4, an elastic connection strip 42 arranged in the connection hole 41, and a fixing strip 32 arranged on the first assembly plate 3; after the second assembly plate 4 is flipped through the flexible plate 7, the connection hole 41 communicates with the mounting hole 31, the fixing strip 32 protrudes into the connection hole 41, and the fixing strip 32 and the elastic connection strip 42 are oppositely arranged at both ends of the mounting hole 31;

[0047] Specifically, when installing the sensor in the mounting cavity, first place the sensor from the mounting hole 31 of the first assembly plate 3 into the mounting cavity, and then flip the second assembly plate 4 at the flexible plate 7 so that the end of the sensor is passed through the connecting hole 41 and clamped between the fixing strip 32 and the elastic connecting strip 42, thereby completing the installation of the sensor.

[0048] The mounting assembly also includes a first fixing hole 33 provided on the first assembly plate 3 and a second fixing hole 44 provided on the second assembly plate 4; after the second assembly plate 4 is flipped over by the flexible plate 7, the first fixing hole 33 and the second fixing hole 44 are arranged opposite each other; wherein, a clamping block can be provided at the position of the first fixing hole 33 or the second fixing hole 44, so that the first assembly plate 3 and the second assembly plate 4 are fixed; or after the first fixing hole 33 and the second fixing hole 44 are arranged opposite each other, the first fixing hole 33 and the second fixing hole 44 can be fixed by fixing parts such as screws or cable ties, so that the first assembly plate 3 and the second assembly plate 4 are fixed.

[0049] The second assembly plate 4 is provided with a clearance hole 43; the elastic connecting strip 42 is movably arranged between the clearance hole 43 and the connecting hole 41. Through the above arrangement, sufficient space can be provided for the deformation of the elastic connecting strip 42, so that it can adapt to sensors of different sizes.

[0050] In this embodiment of the antifreeze sensor bracket, the mounting tube 21 is provided with a vent hole 22 at the other end of the mounting cavity; a stopper 23 is provided within the vent hole 22. The provision of the vent hole 22 enhances the ventilation performance of the mounting tube 21 and improves the accuracy of sensor measurements. Furthermore, the stopper 23 prevents the sensor from falling through the vent hole 22.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
