[0002] Heat pump units are typically installed outdoors, necessitating waterproofing of the connection between the side panels and the frame. Existing heat pump side panels are directly fixed to the frame using side panel bolts, leaving the bolt heads exposed and affecting the overall appearance of the heat pump. Furthermore, during use, the side panels vibrate with the frame for extended periods, which can easily generate vibration noise. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a side panel fixing structure of a heat pump, wherein a waterproof structure is provided at the connection portion between the side panel and the frame to prevent moisture from entering the interior of the frame, and a shock-absorbing sticker is provided at the connection portion between the two to reduce the vibration noise between the two; on the other hand, the side panel bolts are provided at the bottom of the frame, and the side panel bolt heads cannot be seen from the side of the frame, and the side panel bolt heads do not affect the overall appearance of the frame.

[0004] The utility model is implemented as follows: a side panel fixing structure of a heat pump is provided, comprising a frame of a heat pump main unit and side panels installed on the side of the frame, wherein folded edges bent toward the inside of the frame are arranged on the four peripheries of the side panels, wherein an inclined edge inclined upward is arranged at the end of the top folded edge located at the top, and a plate limiting edge is arranged at the ends of the side folded edges located on the left and right sides, the plate limiting edges on both sides extend relatively and are parallel to the plane of the side panels, the plate limiting edges abut against the frame limiting edges located on the side frames of the frame, a plurality of bolt through holes are arranged on the bottom folded edge located at the lower part, threaded columns corresponding to the bolt through holes are arranged on the bottom surface of the lower frame of the frame, side panel bolts are installed in the bolt through holes and are threadedly connected with the threaded columns, the bottom folded edge of the side panel is fixed to the bottom surface of the lower frame of the frame by the side panel bolts, and shock-absorbing stickers are respectively adhered to the outer surfaces of the top folded edge, the inclined edge and the plate limiting edge.

[0005] Furthermore, corresponding side panels are installed on the left and right sides of the frame respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, the angle between the top folding edge and the inclined edge is 90° to 150°.

[0007] Furthermore, the top folding edge is integrally connected to the inclined edge, and the side folding edge is integrally connected to the plate limiting edge.

[0008] Furthermore, the shock-absorbing patch is made of cotton or felt.

[0009] Compared to the prior art, the side panel fixing structure of the heat pump of the present invention includes a heat pump mainframe frame and side panels mounted on the sides of the frame. Folding edges that bend inward toward the frame are provided around the four perimeters of the side panels. An inclined edge that tilts upward is provided at the end of the top folding edge located at the top. A frame limiting edge is provided on the side frame of the frame, and the side panel bolts are located on the bottom surface of the lower frame. This not only provides a certain degree of waterproofing at the connection between the side panel and the frame, but also makes the side panel bolt heads invisible from the side of the frame, thus not affecting the overall appearance of the frame. Shock-absorbing stickers are adhered to the outer surfaces of the top folding edge, the inclined edge, and the panel limiting edge, respectively, to reduce vibration noise between the side panel and the frame.

[0016] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0017] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown in FIG, a preferred embodiment of the side plate fixing structure of the heat pump of the present invention comprises a frame 1 of the heat pump main unit and a side plate 2 installed on the side of the frame 1. Figure 2 As shown, corresponding side panels 2, namely the left side panel and the right side panel, are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the frame 1. The left side panel and the right side panel have the same structure.

[0018] The side panels 2 are provided with hems that bend inwardly toward the frame 1. An upwardly inclined edge 22 is provided at the end of the top hem 21 at the top. The inclined edge 22 abuts against the upper frame 11 of the frame 1. Panel limiting edges 24 are provided at the ends of the left and right side hems 23. The panel limiting edges 24 on both sides extend relative to each other and are parallel to the plane of the side panels 2. The panel limiting edges 24 abut against the frame limiting edges 12 located on the side frames of the frame 1.

[0019] A plurality of bolt holes 26 are provided on the bottom folded edge 25 at the lower portion, and threaded columns 14 corresponding to the bolt holes 26 are provided on the bottom surface of the lower frame 13 of the frame 1. Side panel bolts (not shown in the figure) are installed in the bolt holes 26 to form a threaded connection with the threaded columns 14. The bottom folded edge 25 of the side panel 2 is fixed to the bottom surface of the lower frame 13 of the frame 1 by the side panel bolts. Figure 6 As shown, three bolt through holes 26 are provided on the bottom flange 25 .

[0020] Shock-absorbing stickers 27 are attached to the outer surfaces of the top folding edge 21, the inclined edge 22, and the plate-limiting edge 24. In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing stickers are made of cotton or felt and are 3 mm thick. The shock-absorbing stickers 27 prevent vibration-induced collision noise between the side panels 2 and the frame 1, providing a certain degree of noise reduction.

[0021] The angle between the top folded edge 21 and the inclined edge 22 is 90° to 150°. In this embodiment, the angle between the top folded edge 21 and the inclined edge 22 is 100°. The upwardly sloping edge 22 not only prevents moisture from entering the frame from the upper portion of the side panel, providing waterproofing, but also facilitates installation of the side panel 2 on the frame 1.

[0022] When installing the side panel 2, first place the top folded edge 21 and the end of the side panel 2 where the inclined edge 22 is located into the inner cavity of the frame 1. Then rotate the side panel 2, aligning the panel retaining edge 24 with the frame retaining edge 12. The bottom folded edge 25 is installed on the lower frame 13, with the bolt holes 26 aligned with the threaded studs 14. Then, install the side panel bolts to secure the side panel 2 to the frame 1. Because the side panel bolts are located on the bottom surface of the lower frame 13, the bolt heads are not easily visible from the side of the frame 1. Therefore, the side panel bolts do not affect the overall appearance of the frame 1.

[0023] The top folding edge 21 is integrally connected to the inclined edge 22, and the side folding edge 23 is integrally connected to the plate limiting edge 24. In this embodiment, the top folding edge 21, the inclined edge 22, the side folding edge 23, the plate limiting edge 24 and the bottom folding edge 25 are all formed by bending the side panel sheet material multiple times.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
