[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of air conditioners, and more specifically relates to a grounding structure of a ceiling air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] A ceiling air conditioner is also known as a ceiling air conditioner or a ceiling-mounted or embedded air conditioner. Because ceiling air conditioners save space and are aesthetically pleasing, they are widely used. As the indoor portion of the air conditioning unit, the ceiling air conditioner is connected to the outdoor unit via piping. Due to safety requirements, the indoor portion of the ceiling air conditioner piping needs to be reliably grounded.

These two grounding wires are commonly referred to as the evaporator ground wire and the chassis ground wire. Because the screws on the evaporator side panel used to secure the evaporator ground wire are set vertically, securing the evaporator ground wire is difficult. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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.
[0033] The ceiling unit is also called a ceiling unit or a ceiling-mounted or embedded air conditioner. Since the ceiling unit can save space and is more beautiful, it is widely used. As the indoor part of the air-conditioning unit, the ceiling unit is connected to the outdoor unit through a pipe. Based on safety requirements, the indoor part of the ceiling unit needs to be reliably grounded. The traditional industry practice is to lead two ground wires to the indoor part of the ceiling unit, namely the evaporator ground wire and the chassis ground wire. The evaporator ground wire is led out from the evaporator side panel and connected to the chassis, and the chassis ground wire is led out from the chassis and connected to the electrical box. Since the screws on the evaporator side panel for fixing the evaporator ground wire are set vertically, it is difficult to operate the evaporator ground wire when fixing it. Based on this, the utility model cancels the evaporator ground wire through the grounding continuity design in the ceiling unit, reduces the number of ceiling unit ground wires, and also eliminates the setting of the evaporator ground wire wiring layout, thereby reducing the ceiling unit processing procedures, reducing costs, and improving production efficiency.

Only one grounding wire needs to be led out from the chassis 1 of the overhead crane, so that the overhead crane pipeline can be reliably grounded after eliminating the grounding wire from the evaporator 2 to the chassis 1.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the evaporator 2 is internally provided with multiple evaporation pipelines. An arc-shaped connecting pipeline is installed at each end of the evaporator 2 to connect the two evaporation pipelines, as well as a fluid input pipeline or fluid output pipeline for connecting only one evaporation pipeline.

Each evaporator side panel 3 is provided with an inner hem 32 and an outer hem on its front and back sides, respectively. The inner hem 32 is designed to fit the inside of the evaporator 2, while the outer hem is designed to fit the outside of the evaporator 2.

[0042] It should be understood that there are two evaporator side panels 3 and one windshield 4. Each evaporator side panel 3 is provided with an inner folded edge 32 and an outer folded edge on its front and rear sides, respectively.

The windshield 4 is provided with baffle side folds 41 on its left and right sides, each of which has a groove. The conductive elastic snaps snap into place in the corresponding grooves, achieving a conductive, fixed connection between the evaporator side panel 3 and the windshield 4.
[0043] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the evaporator side panels 3 and the windshield 4 are electrically conductively fixedly connected by welding. This welding connection also ensures ground continuity between the evaporator side panels 3 and the windshield 4. Furthermore, welding requires minimal structural modification to the evaporator side panels 3 and the windshield 4, resulting in greater cost savings.
[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the windshield 4 is electrically connected to the chassis 1 by screws 6. When the windshield 4 and the chassis 1 are fastened together by screws 6, ground continuity between the windshield 4 and the chassis 1 is achieved.
[0045] Preferably, if Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, the windshield 4 is provided with a bottom flange 42 for contacting the inner surface of the chassis 1. The bottom flange 42 is provided with screw holes 5, and the chassis 1 also has screw holes 5. Screws 6 are inserted through the screw holes 5 of the bottom flange 42 and the chassis 1 simultaneously, thereby achieving a conductive and fixed connection between the windshield 4 and the chassis 1 via screw connection.

The evaporator 2 provided by the utility model can adopt a special evaporator structure. The windshield 4 can be designed to match the actual needs. While the two ends of the evaporator 2 are connected through the windshield 4, sufficient installation space for the overhead pipe is guaranteed.
[0050] For a better understanding, let’s combine Figures 1 to 7 A complete description of the skylight machine and its grounding structure provided by the preferred embodiment of the utility model is given below:
[0051] The ceiling machine includes a chassis 1, an evaporator 2 upright on the chassis 1, and an electrical box located above the evaporator 2. Evaporator side panels 3 are installed at both ends of the evaporator 2, and a windshield 4 is provided between the two ends of the evaporator 2. The evaporator side panels 3, the windshield 4 and the chassis 1 are all sheet metal parts.
[0052] The evaporator side plate 3 is fixed to both ends of the evaporator 2. The evaporator side plate 3 is provided with an avoidance hole 31 for the passage of the ceiling machine pipeline. The front and rear sides of the evaporator side plate 3 are respectively provided with an inner folding edge 32 and an outer folding edge. The inner folding edge 32 is used to fit the inner side of the evaporator 2, and the outer folding edge is used to fit the outer side of the evaporator 2. Only the inner folding edge 32 is provided with a screw hole 5.
[0053] The windshield 4 has an irregular, multi-edge structure, with side hems 41 on each side. These hems 41 are designed to mate with the inner hems 32 of the evaporator side panels 3 and have screw holes 5 formed in them. The bottom of the windshield 4 has two spaced-apart bottom hems 42 formed at intervals. These hems 42 mate with the inner surface of the chassis 1 and have screw holes 5 formed in them. The chassis 1 also has screw holes 5 formed in these hems.
[0054] The chassis 1 is provided with a grounding hole 7 for leading out a grounding wire (ie, a chassis ground wire).
[0055] After the overhead unit is assembled, the evaporator side panels 3 and windshield 4 are electrically connected and fixed using screws. Windshield 4 is also electrically connected and fixed to chassis 1 using screws. This creates a grounding continuity structure through the sequential electrically connected evaporator side panels 3, windshield 4, and chassis 1. Only one grounding wire is required for the overhead unit. One end of the grounding wire is fixed to chassis 1, and the other end is connected to the grounding plate on the electrical box. This grounding wire is also called the chassis ground wire, and the engineering ground wire is connected to the grounding plate on this electrical box. The overhead unit piping grounding path is: overhead unit piping → evaporator side panels 3 → windshield 4 → chassis 1 → grounding plate on the electrical box → power ground. This path ensures reliable grounding of the overhead unit piping.
[0056] The utility model can reduce a grounding wire from the evaporator to the chassis in the skylight machine, thereby reducing costs, reducing processing steps, and improving production efficiency.
[0057] 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.
