[0015] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description of the present invention is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided solely to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.
[0016] See attached Figure 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, a tube bundle fixing plate for an air conditioner is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the air conditioner's water tray to position the inlet and outlet pipe assemblies and power cords from the circular hole in the water tray to the bottom, preventing displacement, interference with metal parts, and wear during transportation and operation. Specifically, the fixing plate 1 comprises a fixing plate 1, two pipe clamps 4, and a wiring harness clamp 5. The fixing plate 1 is a vertically extending sheet-like structure. The top of the fixing plate 1 is integrally bent toward its inner surface to form an upward folding plate 2. The upward folding plate 2 is folded 90° relative to the fixing plate 1 to a horizontal position. The upward folding plate 2 is used to connect to the bottom of the water tray and is equipped with at least one rivet nut (preferably, in this embodiment, three rivet nuts are arranged horizontally). Multiple screws are inserted through the rivet nuts to secure the upward folding plate 2 to the water tray. The rivet nut design offers advantages such as single-sided riveting and thin-wall riveting.
[0017] In this embodiment, one end of the fixed plate 1 is integrally bent toward its inner surface to form a side flap 3. That is, the side flap 3 is folded 90° relative to the fixed plate 1, while still extending vertically. Furthermore, a wiring harness clamp 5 is removably secured to the outer surface of the side flap 3, so that the wiring harness clamp 5 and the side flap 3 form a vertical wiring harness channel. The wiring harness clamp 5 secures the power cord in the wiring harness channel, preventing it from shifting and preventing the power cord from interfering with metal parts during product transportation and operation, causing wear and tear and potentially causing accidents.
[0018] In this embodiment, each pipe clamp 4 is detachably fixed on the outer surface of the fixed plate body 1 so that each pipe clamp 4 and the fixed plate body 1 form a vertically penetrating pipe passage. The pipe clamps 4 are used to fix the inlet pipe and outlet pipe passing through the water receiving tray in the pipe passage to prevent them from being displaced, thereby preventing the inlet pipe and outlet pipe from interfering with metal parts during product transportation and operation, causing wear and causing accidents.
[0019] In this embodiment, the wire harness clamp 5 and the pipe clamp 4 each include a semicircular portion and two connecting ears integrally formed at both ends of the arcuate portion. Each connecting ear has a screw hole. The screw holes in each connecting ear are aligned one by one with the screw holes pre-formed in the fixed plate 1 and the side flap 3. Pre-set screws are then inserted through the aligned screw holes to connect them. This allows the wire harness clamp 5 to be connected to the side flap 3, and the pipe clamp 4 to be connected to the fixed plate 1, respectively. This approach significantly reduces assembly difficulty and effectively improves assembly efficiency.
[0020] In this embodiment, the other end of the fixed plate 1 is bent toward its inner surface to form a connecting folded plate 6. The top of the connecting folded plate 6 is welded to the end of the upward folded plate 2. The connecting folded plate 6 is also arranged to extend vertically. The connecting folded plate 6 is used to enhance the overall strength.
[0021] In this embodiment, the fixed plate body 1, the upward folding plate 2 and the side folding plates 3 are arranged vertically with respect to each other.
[0022] In summary, the tube bundle fixing plate of this embodiment has the following characteristics:
[0023] 1. Compact structure: Through the integrated bending process, the fixed plate 1, the upward folding plate 2, the side folding plate 3, the connecting folding plate 6, the pipe clamp 4 and the wire harness clamp 5 can be closely matched to form a compact whole.
[0024] 2. Easy installation: The flip-up plate 2 is connected to the bottom of the water tray by rivet nuts and screws, and the wire harness clamp 5 and pipe clamp 4 are connected to the fixed plate body 1 by screws. These designs simplify the installation process and improve installation efficiency.
[0025] 3. Anti-wear design: The setting of the upward folding plate 2, the side folding plate 3 and the connecting folding plate 6 can effectively protect the inlet and outlet pipe components and the power cord, avoiding wear and tear on metal parts during transportation and operation.
[0026] 4. Detachability: The pipe clamp 4 and the harness clamp 5 are designed to be detachable, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement, and also facilitates the universality of different models of air conditioners.
[0027] 5. Screw connection: The screw connection method is not only easy to assemble, but also can be quickly disassembled and reassembled when maintenance or replacement of parts is required.
[0028] 6. Improved strength: The welding of the connecting folding plate 6 and the upward folding plate 2, as well as the compact design of the overall structure, enhance the mechanical strength and stability of the fixed plate.
[0029] 7. High efficiency and stability: The one-piece structure and simple assembly method ensure the high efficiency and stability of the fixing plate in the air conditioner, reducing the failure rate.
[0030] 8. Cost-effectiveness: The one-piece bending forming processing method reduces production costs and improves the cost-effectiveness of the product.
[0031] In summary, the tube bundle fixing plate of this embodiment is designed with practicality, safety, economy, and ease of assembly in mind, and is an efficient, stable, and reliable tube bundle fixing solution suitable for air conditioners.
