Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic air conditioning technology, specifically a photovoltaic air conditioner with an energy storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic air conditioning is an air conditioning system driven by solar energy. It converts solar energy into electrical energy through photovoltaic panels to directly drive the air conditioner, thereby achieving zero electricity cost operation. Its core lies in photovoltaic direct drive frequency conversion technology and maximum power point tracking technology (MPPT). These technologies enable solar panels to directly provide power to the air conditioner, eliminating the intermediate step of inverter and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0003] In order to store the excess electricity converted by photovoltaic air conditioners, some existing photovoltaic air conditioners will install additional batteries on the outdoor unit for energy storage. However, the installation process of batteries is relatively complicated. When maintaining or replacing batteries, tools need to be used for a long time on the exterior wall, which is risky. Moreover, there is a risk that tools and parts may fall out of one's hands. For higher floors, if tools or parts fall out of one's hands, it will cause serious damage to objects or people below.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a photovoltaic air conditioner with an energy storage device, including an outdoor unit 1, a photovoltaic panel 2 and a battery 3 mounted on the outdoor unit 1, an upper bracket 4, a lower bracket 5 and a support frame 6. The upper bracket 4 and the lower bracket 5 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 16. The support frame 6 is mounted on the inner wall of the upper bracket 4 through a connecting structure. The outdoor unit 1 is placed on the surface of the lower bracket 5, the support frame 6 is placed on top of the outdoor unit, the battery 3 is placed inside the support frame 6, and the photovoltaic panel 2 is installed obliquely on the side of the support frame 6. The photovoltaic panel 2 is electrically connected to both the outdoor unit and the battery 3. The connecting structure includes a through hole 7, a guide rod 8 and a connecting seat 9. The through hole 7 is located on the surface of the upper bracket 4. One end of the connecting seat 9 is fixedly mounted on the side of the support frame 6. The guide rod 8 is horizontally slidably connected to the other end of the connecting seat 9 through an elastic structure. One end of the guide rod 8 extends into the interior of the through hole 7 to achieve the connection between the connecting seat 9 and the upper bracket 4.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 The battery 3 can store the excess electrical energy converted by the photovoltaic panel 2. The battery 3 is placed inside the support frame 6, which is directly connected to the upper bracket 4 through a connecting structure. When installing or removing the battery 3, only the support frame 6 and the upper bracket 4 need to be installed or removed.

[0024] Specifically, the upper bracket 4 includes a first back plate 41 and an upper support arm 42. The upper support arm 42 is vertically fixedly installed on the surface of the first back plate 41. The first back plate 41 is connected to the lower bracket 5 through a connecting plate 16. A through hole 7 is provided on the surface of the upper support arm 42. The lower bracket 5 includes a second back plate 51, a lower support arm 52, and a reinforcing plate 53. The lower support arm 52 is vertically fixedly connected to the surface of the second back plate 51. The reinforcing plate 53 is obliquely fixedly installed between the second back plate 51 and the lower support arm 52. The bottom of the connecting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the surface of the second back plate 51. The outdoor unit 1 of the air conditioner is placed on top of the two lower support arms 52.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 The first back plate 41 connects the two upper support arms 42, and the second back plate 51 connects the two lower support arms 52. Both the two upper support arms 42 and the two lower support arms 52 are provided with ear seats, which can be directly installed on the wall surface of the exterior wall. The inclined reinforcing plate 53 can increase the support strength of the lower support arms 52 for the air conditioner outdoor unit 1, so that the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 can be placed stably.

[0026] It should be noted that, in actual use, multiple baffles need to be vertically installed on the surface of the lower support arm 52 to prevent the outdoor unit 1 of the air conditioner from falling off the surface of the lower support arm 52.

[0027] Specifically, the elastic structure includes a spring 10, a slide groove 11, and a traction block 12. The slide groove 11 is disposed on the surface of the connecting seat 9. The spring 10 is fixedly connected between the guide rod 8 and the connecting seat 9. The traction block 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod 8 and slidably connected inside the slide groove 11.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 and 4 By pressing the traction block 12, it can drive the guide rod 8 to move horizontally inside the connecting seat 9. When the guide rod 8 moves towards the connecting seat 9, it can compress the spring 10 to store energy. When the traction block 12 reaches the end of the slide groove 11, the spring 10 reaches its maximum energy value. Then, the support frame 6 and the internal battery 3 are placed on the top of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 through the connecting seat 9. At this time, the traction block 12 is released, and the traction block 12 can be reset inside the slide groove 11 under the elastic force of the spring 10. This allows the traction block 12 to drive one end of the guide rod 8 into the through hole 7, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting seat 9 and the upper support arm 42.

[0029] The bottom of the support frame 6 is vertically fixedly connected to the support leg 13, which is placed on the top of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1. An L-shaped limit seat 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1, and the L-shaped limit seat 14 fits against the side of the support leg 13.

[0030] Please see Figure 5The L-shaped limiting seat 14 can guide the support frame 6 when it is placed on the top of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1, so that the guide rod 8 can move vertically down from the top of the through hole 7 until one end of the guide rod 8 is aligned with the through hole 7.

[0031] A rotating seat 15 is fixedly installed on the back of the photovoltaic panel 2, and the rotating seat 15 is hinged to the side of the support frame 6.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 The photovoltaic panel 2 and the support frame 6 are connected by hinged rotating seat 15 to facilitate adjustment of the installation angle of photovoltaic panel 2. The rotating seat 15 and the support frame 6 can be hinged by bolts, and one end of the bolt is locked by a nut, thereby locking the angle of the tilted photovoltaic panel 2.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
