Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the layout of components in the active module of the existing back panel door air conditioner is unreasonable, which causes the back panel door to be too thick, resulting in a limited opening angle of the back panel door, making it inconvenient for operators to perform maintenance operations. In addition, when maintaining the fan power module and fan on the active module, it is necessary to first cut off the power, causing the air conditioner to stop before maintenance operations can be performed, resulting in complicated maintenance operation procedures and affecting maintenance efficiency. An active module device for the air conditioner is provided.

[0004] The utility model solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solution: an active module device of an air conditioner is installed in the back panel door of the air conditioner, comprising an active module, a plurality of system power modules arranged on the active module, a plurality of fan power modules rotatably connected to the active module, and a plurality of fans detachable from the active module via fan terminals;

[0005] The system power module includes a power supply bracket mounted on the active module and a system power supply tiltedly mounted on the active module via the power supply bracket. The back panel door has an inclined surface adapted to the tilt angle of the system power supply to increase the back panel door's opening angle. The fan power module is rotatably connected to the active module via a rotating structure and is detachably connected to the rotating structure to enable non-stop maintenance of the fan power module. The inclined surface on the back panel door effectively allows adjacent back panel doors to open at a maximum angle of 110°, effectively resolving the issue of inconvenience for operators due to the limited opening angle of the back panel door. Furthermore, it enables non-stop maintenance of the fan and fan power module, and implements dual power switching between the system power module and the fan power module, ensuring that the fan always operates without shutting down.

[0006] Furthermore, the system power module is tiltedly mounted on the active module, the power supply bracket is tiltedly mounted on the active module, and the system power supply is tiltedly mounted on the active module via the power supply bracket. By tilting the system power module on the active module using the power supply bracket, a higher-power power module can be installed. Furthermore, by providing an inclined surface on the back panel door that matches the tilt angle of the power supply bracket, a maximum opening angle of 110° can be achieved between adjacent back panel doors, thereby effectively resolving the problem of inconvenience for operators in performing maintenance operations due to the limited opening angle of the back panel door.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating structure includes a rotating bracket for accommodating the fan power module and a damping hinge arranged between the bottom of the rotating bracket and the active module. The rotating bracket drives the fan power module to rotate and connect with the active module through the damping hinge, which can effectively realize the operation of rotating the fan power module relative to the active module, thereby improving the convenience of users in disassembling the fan power module from the rotating bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of locking brackets are provided on the rotating bracket, and a first captive screw is provided on the locking bracket. The rotating bracket is fixedly connected to the active module through the first captive screw. This can improve the user's convenience in releasing the locking state between the rotating bracket and the active module while ensuring the stability of the fixed connection between the rotating bracket and the active module through the first captive screw.

[0009] Furthermore, a gold finger is provided at the bottom of the fan power module, and the fan power module is fixed to the rotating bracket through the gold finger, which can effectively improve the convenience of the user in installing the fan power module in the rotating bracket or removing the fan power module from the rotating bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, several groups of the fans are vertically arranged on the active module, and several groups of the fan power modules are arranged on both sides of the active module, that is, a layout method of the fans on the active module is provided to suit different usage scenarios.

[0011] Furthermore, several groups of the fans are spaced apart on the active modules, and several groups of the fan power modules are respectively arranged between adjacent active modules, thereby providing another layout of the fans on the active modules to suit different usage scenarios.

[0012] Furthermore, the fan terminal is detachably connected to the active module via a detachable structure, comprising a detachable bracket and a second captive screw for securing the detachable bracket to the active module. This ensures the stability of the detachable bracket's fixed connection to the active module via the second captive screw while also making it easier for the user to release the locking state between the detachable bracket and the active module, thereby improving the convenience of removing the fan terminal from the active module.

[0013] Furthermore, the fan terminal includes a first terminal and a second terminal that are plugged into each other, and the disassembly bracket is provided with a slot for plugging the first terminal and the second terminal into each other, thereby improving the convenience for the user to install the first terminal and the second terminal in the disassembly bracket and the positioning accuracy.

[0014] Furthermore, several groups of the fan terminals correspond one-to-one to the fans. By removing the fan terminals from the active module through the disassembly structure, the corresponding fans can be removed from the active module, thereby realizing maintenance of the fans without stopping the fans, and realizing the dual power switching function of the system power module and the fan power module, ensuring that the fans do not stop at all times.

[0015] Furthermore, the active module device of the air conditioner also includes a rotary joint coaxially arranged with the door panel hinge of the back panel door, and the rotary joint is connected to a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe, thereby preventing the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe from rotating as the back panel door opens, reducing the dragging and pulling on the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe when the door is opened, and causing failure.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of 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.

[0037] See also Figure 1-11 , is an active module device 100 of an air conditioner provided by the utility model. The active module device 100 of the air conditioner is installed in the back panel door of the air conditioner, including an active module 10, multiple groups of system power modules 20 arranged on the active module 10, multiple groups of fan power modules 30 rotatably connected to the active module 10, and multiple groups of fans 50 detachable from the active module 10 through fan terminals 40; the system power module 20 includes a power supply bracket 21 arranged on the active module 10 and a system power supply 22 tiltedly arranged on the active module 10 through the power supply bracket 21. The back panel door has an inclined surface 61 to increase the opening angle of the back panel door. The fan power module 30 is rotatably connected to the active module 10 through a rotating structure 31 and is detachably connected to the rotating structure 31 to achieve non-stop maintenance of the fan power module 30.

[0038] The active module device 100 of the air conditioner provided by the present invention can effectively enable the maximum opening angle of 110° between adjacent back panel doors 60 by tilting the system power module 20 on the active module 10 using the power bracket 21, and setting an inclined surface 61 on the back panel door that is adapted to the tilt angle of the system power 22, thereby effectively solving the problem that the opening angle of the back panel door 60 is limited, which makes it inconvenient for operators to perform maintenance operations; in addition, by using the rotating structure 31 to rotate the fan power module 30 relative to the active module 10 by a certain angle, the fan power module 30 is removed from the rotating structure 31, and the operation of removing the fan power module 30 with one hand can be realized, and by removing the fan terminal 40 from the active module 10, the corresponding damaged fan 50 can be removed from the active module 10, thereby realizing the operation of maintaining the fan 50 and the fan power module 30 without stopping, and realizing the dual power switching function of the system power module 20 and the fan power module 30, always ensuring that the fan 50 does not stop.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the system power module 20 is tilted on the active module 10, the power supply bracket 21 is tilted on the active module 10, and the system power supply 22 is tilted on the active module 10 via the power supply bracket 21. By tilting the system power module 20 on the active module 10 using the power supply bracket 21, a higher-power power module can be installed. Furthermore, by providing an inclined surface 61 on the back panel door 60 that matches the tilt angle of the power supply bracket 21, adjacent back panel doors 60 can be opened at a maximum angle of 110°, effectively resolving the problem of inconvenience for operators in performing maintenance operations due to the limited opening angle of the back panel door 60.

[0040] like Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the rotating structure 31 includes a rotating bracket 311 for accommodating the fan power module 30 and a damping hinge 312 disposed between the bottom of the rotating bracket 311 and the active module 10. The rotating bracket 311 drives the fan power module 30 to rotate and connect with the active module 10 via the damping hinge 312. The rotating bracket 311 is also provided with multiple locking brackets 32, each equipped with a first captive screw 321. The rotating bracket 311 is fixedly connected to the active module 10 via the first captive screw 321. A gold finger 33 is provided at the bottom of the fan power module 30, which is locked and fixed to the rotating bracket 311 via the gold finger 33.

[0041] During use, after the user determines that the fan power module 30 is damaged through the user interaction interface set on the air conditioner, the user first tightens the captive screw on the locking bracket 32 ​​to release the locking state between the rotating bracket 311 and the active module 10, and then pushes and pulls the rotating bracket 311 backward so that the rotating bracket 311 drives the fan power module 30 to rotate to a suitable position relative to the active module 10 under the action of the damping hinge 312. Finally, the gold finger 33 of the fan power module 30 is removed from the rotating bracket 311 and the fan power module 30 is pulled upward, thereby completing the operation of removing the fan power module 30 from the active module 10, thereby realizing the operation of maintaining the fan power module 30 without stopping the machine and removing the fan power module 30 with one hand, thereby improving the safety of the operator in maintaining the fan power module 30 while improving the convenience of operation.

[0042] Furthermore, by inserting and securing the maintained fan power module 30 into the rotating bracket 311 via the gold fingers 33 at the bottom, and then pushing the rotating bracket 311 inward, the rotating bracket 311, under the action of the damping hinge 312, drives the fan power module 30 to be inserted into the mounting slot of the active module 10. The captive screw on the locking bracket 32 ​​is then tightened, locking the captive screw into the active module 10, thereby achieving the operation of securing the maintained fan power module 30 to the active module 10 using the rotating bracket 311. Furthermore, by utilizing the damping hinge 312 to rotationally connect the rotating bracket 311 to the active module 10, the impact during the rotation process can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the safety of the operator during operation.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment provided by the present invention, multiple sets of fans 50 are vertically arranged on the active module 10, and multiple sets of fan power modules 30 are arranged on both sides of the active module 10. In this embodiment, the system power module 20 is tilted on the active module 10 using the power supply bracket 21, and an inclined surface 61 is provided on the back panel door to match the tilt angle of the system power supply 22. This effectively allows adjacent back panel doors 60 to open at a maximum angle of 110°, effectively resolving the problem of inconvenience for operators in performing maintenance operations due to the limited opening angle of the back panel doors 60.

[0044] Furthermore, by arranging multiple sets of fan terminals 40 and fan power modules 30 side by side on either side of the active module 10, the space within the active module 10 is effectively utilized, maximizing the number of sets of fans 50 and fan terminals 40 installed on the active module 10, thereby ensuring effective heat dissipation. Furthermore, by arranging multiple sets of system power modules 20 and fan power modules 30, maintenance of the fan power modules 30 and system power modules 20 can be performed without downtime, and dual power switching is implemented, ensuring that the fan 50 always operates without downtime. Furthermore, the human-machine interface ensures the ease of use of the active module device 100 of the air conditioner.

[0045] like Figure 9As shown, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, multiple sets of fans 50 are spaced apart on the active module 10, and multiple sets of fan power modules 30 are respectively disposed between adjacent active modules 10. In this embodiment, the system power module 20 is tilted on the active module 10 using the power supply bracket 21, and an inclined surface 61 is provided on the back panel door to match the tilt angle of the system power supply 22. This effectively allows the maximum opening angle of 110° between adjacent back panel doors 60, thereby effectively resolving the problem of inconvenience for operators in performing maintenance operations due to the limited opening angle of the back panel door 60. By spacing out multiple sets of fans 50 on the active module 10 and disposing multiple sets of fan power modules 30 between adjacent active modules 10, the space within the active module 10 is equally utilized, and the number of fans 50 and fan terminals 40 disposed on the active module 10 is maximized, thereby ensuring effective heat dissipation. A variety of layout options are provided to meet the user's design needs under different site conditions.

[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, the fan terminals 40 are detachably connected to the active module 10 via a disassembly structure 43. The disassembly structure 43 includes a disassembly bracket 431 and a second captive screw 432 for securing the disassembly bracket 431 to the active module 10. Multiple sets of fan terminals 40 correspond one-to-one to the fans 50. By removing the fan terminals 40 from the active module 10 via the disassembly structure 43, the corresponding fans 50 can be removed from the active module 10. After a damaged fan 50 is identified through a user interface provided on the air conditioner, the second captive screw 432 on the disassembly bracket 431 of the fan terminal 40 corresponding to the damaged fan 50 is first tightened to engage the locking state between the fan terminal 40 and the active module 10. The fan terminal 40 is then removed from the active module 10, and the corresponding damaged fan 50 is removed. This allows for non-stop maintenance of the fans 50 and enables dual power switching between the system power module 20 and the fan power module 30, ensuring that the fans 50 always operate without shutting down.

[0047] Furthermore, after placing the maintained fan 50 into the active module 10, the second captive screw 432 on the corresponding fan terminal 40's disassembly bracket 431 is tightened into the active module 10, thereby electrically connecting the fan 50 to the active module 10. The fan terminal 40 includes a first terminal 41 and a second terminal 42 that are mated together. The disassembly bracket 431 is provided with a slot for mating the first and second terminals 41 and 42. By utilizing the slot to matingly insert the first and second terminals 41 and 42 into the disassembly bracket 431, the positioning accuracy of the first and second terminals 41 and 42 within the disassembly bracket 431 is effectively improved, thereby enhancing the convenience of installing the fan terminal 40.

[0048] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in the embodiment provided by the present invention, the active module device 100 of the air conditioner further includes a rotary joint 70 coaxially arranged with the door panel hinge 62 of the back panel door 60. The rotary joint 70 is connected to a water inlet pipe 71 and a water outlet pipe 72 to prevent the water inlet pipe 71 and the water outlet pipe 72 from rotating as the back panel door 60 is opened and rotated. By connecting the water inlet pipe 71 and the water outlet pipe 72 with the rotary joint 70 and locating the rotary joint 70 and the door panel hinge 62 on the same axis, it is effectively ensured that when the back panel door 60 is rotated, the water inlet pipe 71 and the water outlet pipe 72 are in a fixed state, thereby effectively preventing the pipes from moving with the rotation of the door, thereby preventing the water inlet pipe 71 and the water outlet pipe 72 from rotating with the opening and closing of the back panel door 60, which would cause the water inlet pipe 71 and the water outlet pipe 72 to be subjected to torsion and tension, resulting in failure.

[0049] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are 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.
