Abstract
Description
Technical Field

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The present invention will be further described with reference to the following embodiments.
[0030] Depend on Figures 2 to 4 It can be seen that the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment includes a mounting base 2; the mounting base 2 is provided with a mounting tube 21; the mounting tube 21 is provided with a mounting cavity; one end of the mounting base 2 is provided with a first clamping plate 3; the other end of the mounting base 2 is provided with a clamping assembly;
[0031] The first clamping plate 3 and the clamping assembly are used to clamp the refrigerant pipe 11;
[0032] The first clamping plate 3 and / or the clamping assembly is provided with a stop block 31 for abutting against the heat dissipation fin 12 .
[0033] Specifically, when using the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the sensor is first installed in the mounting cavity of the mounting tube 21, and then clamped on the refrigerant tube 11 by the first clamping plate 3 and the clamping assembly respectively, and then abutted against the heat dissipation fin 12 through the stop block 31, thereby effectively preventing the first clamping plate 3 and the clamping assembly from rotating along the circumference of the refrigerant tube 11.
[0034] In the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes an assembly plate 4 provided at the other end of the mounting base 2; a flexible plate 5 is provided on the side of the assembly plate 4 away from the mounting base 2; and a second clamping plate 6 is provided on the side of the flexible plate 5 away from the assembly plate 4.
[0035] The first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 6 cooperate to clamp the refrigerant tube 11;
[0036] The blocking block 31 is provided on the first clamping plate 3 and / or the second clamping plate 6 .
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, by providing the assembly plate 4 , the flexible plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 , the second clamping plate 6 can be flipped at the flexible plate 5 , thereby cooperating with the assembly plate 4 to fix the sensor in the installation cavity.
[0038] In addition, after flipping, the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 6 are respectively clamped on the refrigerant tube 11, and then abutted against the heat dissipation fins 12 through the stop block 31, thereby effectively preventing the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 6 from rotating along the circumference of the refrigerant tube 11.
[0039] In the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the retaining block 31 is disposed on a side of the first clamping plate 3 that is adjacent to the second clamping plate 6 and / or on a side of the second clamping plate 6 that is adjacent to the first clamping plate 3. The upper and lower ends of the first clamping plate 3 and / or the upper and lower ends of the second clamping plate 6 respectively abut against the heat dissipation fins 12 via the retaining blocks 31. This arrangement effectively prevents the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 6 from rotating along the circumference of the refrigerant tube 11.
[0040] Among them, the number of the stop blocks 31 can be two, which are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the first clamping plate 3 and / or at the upper and lower ends of the second clamping plate 6, so that the upper and lower limits can prevent circumferential rotation, wherein the stop block 31 can be a cantilever column that does not contact the mounting seat 2; it can also be a square piece that contacts the mounting seat 2, so that the first clamping plate 3 will not shake left and right, thereby improving the clamping stability.
[0041] In addition, the number of the blocking block 31 can be one, which is a vertical step structure formed on the first clamping plate 3 and / or the second clamping plate 6 .
[0042] In the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the first clamping plate 3 is disposed on one side of the mounting base 2; the mounting tube 21 and the assembly plate 4 are both disposed on the other side of the mounting base 2. This arrangement allows the mounting tube 21 to be positioned away from the refrigerant tube 11 and the heat dissipation fins 12, preventing condensed water from entering the mounting cavity.
[0043] In the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the retaining block 31 is connected to the mounting base 2. The above arrangement can effectively enhance the strength of the retaining block 31.
[0044] In the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the assembly plate 4 is provided with a mounting hole 41 extending through it and communicating with one end of the mounting cavity; a mounting assembly for securing the sensor is provided between the assembly plate 4 and the second clamping plate 6. In the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a connecting hole 61 extending through the second clamping plate 6, an elastic connecting strip 62 provided in the connecting hole 61, and a fixing strip 42 provided on the assembly plate 4; after the second clamping plate 6 is flipped over by the flexible plate 5, the connecting hole 61 is connected to the mounting hole 41, and the fixing strip 42 protrudes into the connecting hole 61. The fixing strip 42 and the elastic connecting strip 62 are located opposite each other at both ends of the mounting hole 41.
[0045] Specifically, before installing the sensor in the installation cavity, Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the state shown, the first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting base 2, and the second clamping plate 6 and the assembly plate 4 are arranged on the same side of the mounting base 2; first, the sensor is placed into the mounting cavity from the mounting hole 41 of the assembly plate 4, and then the second clamping plate 6 is turned over at the flexible plate 5, so as to form the following Figure 4 In the state shown, the end of the sensor is inserted into the connecting hole 61 and clamped between the fixing strip 42 and the elastic connecting strip 62, thereby completing the installation of the sensor.
[0046] The sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment further comprises a first fixing hole 43 provided on the assembly plate 4 and a second fixing hole 64 provided on the second clamping plate 6; after the second clamping plate 6 is flipped over by the flexible plate 5, the first fixing hole 43 and the second fixing hole 64 are arranged opposite each other.
[0047] Among them, a clamping block can be set at the position of the first fixing hole 43 or the second fixing hole 64, so that the assembly plate 4 and the second clamping plate 6 are fixed; or after the first fixing hole 43 and the second fixing hole 64 are set opposite each other, the first fixing hole 43 and the second fixing hole 64 can be fixed by fixing parts such as screws or cable ties, so that the assembly plate 4 and the second clamping plate 6 are fixed.
[0048] In the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the second clamping plate 6 is provided with a clearance hole 63; the elastic connecting strip 62 is movably disposed between the clearance hole 63 and the connecting hole 61. This arrangement provides sufficient space for the elastic connecting strip 62 to deform, thereby adapting to sensors of different sizes.
[0049] In the sensor mounting bracket described in this embodiment, the mounting tube 21 has a vent hole 22 at the other end of the mounting cavity; a stopper 23 is provided within the vent hole 22. The vent hole 22 enhances the ventilation performance of the mounting tube 21 and improves the accuracy of sensor measurements. The stopper 23 also prevents the sensor from falling through the vent hole 22.
[0050] 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.
