Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water receiving trays, in particular to a heat pump base. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning units can drip during operation due to condensation on piping, insufficient refrigerant, or clogged outdoor drainage pipes. Besides air conditioning units, many other units and equipment involved in heat exchange processes like condensation and compression refrigeration can also produce water droplets.

[0003] In order to prevent water droplets from splashing onto adjacent equipment during their fall, or from flowing onto the ground and causing problems such as infiltration and slipperiness, many units will use a water tray to collect dripping water. The water tray is installed under the unit and is usually fixed to the unit's mounting bracket by welding. This welding installation method is not convenient for on-site operations and is generally assembled before leaving the factory. The welded water tray and mounting bracket are connected as one, which is not convenient for transportation. Some water trays use screws as fasteners and are detachably connected to the mounting bracket. Although this solves the problem of disassembly and transportation, since the unit is installed on top of the mounting bracket, the unit needs to be dismantled before the water tray can be disassembled. The water tray is not convenient for disassembly and assembly during use, and it is difficult to clean the inside. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a heat pump base, which is used to support a host 100 and receive liquid dripping from the host 100. The host 100 includes but is not limited to an air conditioner outdoor unit or other equipment that generates water droplets during operation.

[0037] The heat pump base includes a water tray 2 and two spaced-apart mounting brackets 1. The mounting brackets 1 have a connection at the top for connecting to the main unit 100, and a mounting portion below the connection. The two mounting portions support the ends of the water tray 2, aligning the tray with the bottom of the main unit 100. The tray is used to collect liquid dripping from the main unit 100. One side of the mounting bracket 1 has an inlet 11, through which the water tray 2 can be moved to the mounting portion and removably connected to the mounting bracket 1. The removable connection between the water tray 2 and the mounting bracket 1 facilitates transport of the separate trays 2 and mounting bracket 1, and allows for convenient on-site assembly after transport. Moreover, the water receiving tray 2 is located below the main unit 100, and there is no contact between the water receiving tray 2 and the main unit 100. When the heat pump base needs to be cleaned after long-term use, the water receiving tray 2 can be disconnected from the mounting bracket 1 and removed through the entrance and exit 11 on the side of the heat pump base. After cleaning, it can be moved to the mounting part through the entrance and exit 11 and then installed on the mounting bracket 1. There is no need to disassemble or move the main unit 100, and the cleaning efficiency is high.

[0038] Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 includes a supporting cross bar 13 and two oppositely arranged supporting vertical bars 12. The supporting cross bar 13 is mounted on the top of the two supporting vertical bars 12 to form an entrance and exit 11. The connecting part is detachably connected to the upper side of the supporting cross bar 13, and the mounting part is arranged on the side of the supporting vertical bars 12. The water receiving tray 2 can be moved horizontally to the mounting part through the entrance and exit 11.

[0039] To simplify the structure, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a portion of the support rod 12 is punched out and flipped toward one side to form a bent boss 14. The two bent bosses 14 are arranged opposite each other and have a support plane 141 to form a mounting portion. In this way, a total of four bent bosses 14 are formed on the two mounting brackets 1 to support the four sides of the water receiving tray 2.

[0040] The heat pump base also includes mounting bolts 3, which are screwed into threaded holes formed in the support crossbars 13. The mounting bolts 3 are positioned above the bent bosses 14 to press-fit the water tray 2. This press-fit structure eliminates the need for perforating the water tray 2, simplifying the structure and making assembly and disassembly steps simpler. Specifically, the heat pump base is provided with four mounting bolts 3, which are located around the water tray 2 and correspond one-to-one to the four bent bosses 14. The mounting bolts 3 press-fit the edge 21 of the water tray 2, effectively pressing the entire circumference of the water tray 2 to prevent the water tray 2 from shaking.

[0041] In order to increase the structural stability of the mounting bracket 1, the mounting bracket 1 also includes a support base 15. The support base 15 and the support cross bar 13 are arranged opposite to each other, and the end of the support upright 12 away from the support cross bar 13 can be detachably connected to the support base 15 to form a stable frame structure.

[0042] The support base 15 is provided with a mounting slot 151 extending along the length of the support crossbar 13. A bent flange 121 is formed at the end of the support upright 12 away from the support crossbar 13. The adjusting bolt 7 passes through the bent flange 121 and is screwed into the mounting slot 151, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the support upright 12 and the support base 15. The length of the support base 15 is greater than that of the support crossbar 13, allowing the two support uprights 12 to move along the mounting slot 151. When the position of the main unit 100 needs to be adjusted, the support upright 12 is simply moved along the mounting slot 151, making adjustment more convenient. Furthermore, the water tray 2 mounted on the mounting bracket 1 also moves accordingly, always located below the main unit 100 to ensure water collection performance.

[0043] To ensure the structural stability of the mounting bracket 1, the heat pump base further includes a fixed crossbeam 16, the ends of which are connected to the two mounting brackets 1. In one embodiment, two fixed crossbeams 16 are provided, and the two fixed crossbeams 16 are arranged opposite each other and located on either side of the support crossbar 13, respectively, so that the frame structure formed by the mounting bracket 1 is relatively stable.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, to facilitate installation of the main unit 100 on the mounting bracket 1, the connection portion includes a plurality of fastening bolts 6, each of which is detachably connected to the plurality of legs of the main unit 100. In one embodiment, the fastening bolts 6 pass through the legs of the main unit 100 and are threadedly connected to the support crossbar 13. The mounting bolts 3 are disposed on the outer periphery of the fastening bolts 6 to avoid the main unit 100, so that the main unit 100 does not cover the mounting bolts 3. This prevents the main unit 100 from interfering with the installation and removal of the mounting bolts 3, and the main unit 100 does not interfere with the removal of the water tray 2.

[0045] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with an adjustment slot 17. The fastening bolt 6 passes through the support foot of the main unit 100 and is threaded into the adjustment slot 17. The adjustment slot 17 extends horizontally. For example, an adjustment slot 17 is provided at each end of the support crossbar 13, forming a total of four adjustment slots 17 between the two mounting brackets 1 to support the four corners of the main unit 100. Because the adjustment slots 17 extend horizontally, the fastening bolt 6 can move relative to the length of the adjustment slot 17. Adjusting the position of two fastening bolts 6 on the same mounting bracket 1 changes the distance between them, thus accommodating the installation requirements of main units 100 of different sizes and models.

[0046] The heat pump base also includes a first shock absorber 4, which is disposed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 1. The first shock absorber 4 can be a rubber foot, which prevents the heat pump base from sliding and reduces vibration transmitted from the main unit 100 to the ground or the equipment below through the mounting bracket 1.

[0047] In one embodiment, the heat pump base further includes a second shock absorber 5 , which is disposed on top of the mounting bracket 1 to abut the main unit 100 . Positioned between the main unit 100 and the mounting bracket 1 , the second shock absorber 5 directly reduces vibrations imparted by the main unit 100 to the mounting bracket 1 , preventing the main unit 100 from loosening on the mounting bracket 1 . The second shock absorber 5 can be a rubber pad with anti-slip grooves. The second shock absorber 5 can be positioned around the fastening bolt 6 .

[0048] In order to improve the water collection effect, the water collection tray 2 includes at least one inclined guide surface 22, such as Figure 6 As shown, the guiding slope 22 extends from the bottom to the top of the water receiving tray 2 and tilts outward, and the guiding slope 22 can guide the liquid to converge toward the bottom.

[0049] The bottom of the water receiving tray 2 is provided with an optional connected water guide port 23; the liquid gathered at the bottom can be discharged at one time through the water guide port 23, so as to avoid the liquid in the water receiving tray 2 from overflowing.

[0050] Since the contact area of the water receiving tray 2 is large, it is easy to deform when it contains a lot of liquid. Therefore, the water receiving tray 2 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 24 to increase the structural strength of the water receiving tray 2 and prevent the water receiving tray 2 from deforming. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the reinforcing ribs 24. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing ribs 24 may be strip-shaped protrusions formed by stamping.

[0051] In the specific contents of the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, the various technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory manner. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the above-mentioned technical features are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The specific contents of the above-mentioned specific embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention. Although the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the appended claims.
