[0003] Existing fan coil unit packaging structures include separate protective structures for the water collection tray, and additional protective structures for the ends of the fan coil unit. This makes the packaging structure complex and requires a lot of material. In particular, the length of the water collection tray or the height of the manifold fixing plate needs to be adjusted according to customer requirements. This necessitates multi-specification designs for the packaging structure to meet the needs of fan coil unit packaging under different conditions, resulting in extremely high development and design costs and mold component costs. Utility Model Content

[0035] Existing fan coil unit packaging structures include separate protective structures for the water collection tray, and additional protective structures for the fan coil unit ends. This makes the packaging structure complex and requires more materials. In particular, the length of the water collection tray or the height of the manifold fixing plate needs to be adjusted according to customer requirements, necessitating multi-specification packaging designs to meet different packaging needs, resulting in extremely high development and design costs and mold component costs. Therefore, this application provides a method... Figures 1 to 4The packaging structure shown is used to protect the end of a fan coil unit. The fan coil unit includes a manifold fixing plate 101 and a water receiving tray 102. The packaging structure includes: a body, on which a support platform 11 for supporting the manifold fixing plate 101 and a protective groove 12 for placing the water receiving tray 102 are formed; an abutment structure 13 is provided on the support platform 11, the abutment structure 13 is located at the end of the fan coil unit, and the abutment structure 13 abuts against the manifold fixing plate 101; the water receiving tray 102 is located at the end wall 103 of the end of the fan coil unit, and the protective groove 12 has a first contact surface 121 that abuts against the end wall 103; the size of the abutment structure 13 is adjustable so that the abutment structure 13 abuts against the manifold fixing plate 101 while the end wall 103 abuts against the first contact surface 121. An adjustable abutment structure 13 is used to abut the water distribution head fixing plate 101. By adjusting the size of the abutment structure 13, reliable abutment of the water distribution head fixing plate 101 is ensured, while the protective groove 12 abuts and protects the water receiving tray 102. This allows the packaging structure to adapt to different sizes of water distribution head fixing plates 101 and water receiving trays 102, avoiding the problem of excessive cost caused by redesign in the prior art. Moreover, the support platform 11 and the protective groove 12 are formed on the body at the same time, which can reduce the number of parts of the packaging structure while ensuring reliable connection with the water receiving tray 102. There is no need to redesign the pad protection, and the packaging process is convenient, fast, efficient and low cost.

[0036] Specifically, the abutting structure 13 has at least two abutting positions, and the distances between all abutting positions and the first contact surface 121 are unequal. The water distribution head fixing plate 101 can abut with any one of the abutting positions. Utilizing the abutting positions not only achieves reliable abutting protection for the water distribution head fixing plate 101, but also allows for simultaneous abutting protection of both the water distribution head fixing plate 101 and the water receiving tray 102 by using different abutting positions according to the size of the water receiving tray 102 protruding from the water distribution head fixing plate 101. This avoids the problem of excessive costs caused by redesigning existing technologies. Furthermore, the simultaneous formation of a support platform 11 and a protective groove 12 on the main body reduces the number of components in the packaging structure while ensuring reliable connection to the water receiving tray 102. It eliminates the need for redesigning the protective pad, making the packaging process convenient, fast, efficient, and low-cost.

[0037] All the aforementioned abutment positions are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the water distribution head fixing plate 101, and a quick-release structure is provided between two adjacent abutment positions. When using the packaging structure, the unnecessary abutment positions can be removed as needed, so that the appropriate abutment position abuts against the water distribution head fixing plate 101. The quick-release structure allows for easy adjustment of the abutment structure 13, effectively improving the packaging efficiency of the packaging structure.

[0038] As one implementation, the abutment structure 13 is provided with an easy-open groove 131, which constitutes the quick-release structure. The easy-open groove 131 allows the user to quickly adjust the size of the abutment structure 13 by prying it off, thereby quickly exposing the appropriate abutment position on the abutment structure 13 for abutment and fixation with the water distribution head fixing plate 101, further improving the packaging effect of the packaging structure.

[0039] The number of the easy-break grooves 131 is at least two, and all the easy-break grooves 131 are arranged side by side in the direction away from the water distribution head fixing plate 101. The abutting structure 13 can be broken along any one of the easy-break grooves 131 to form an abutting position, so that multiple abutting positions can be formed on the abutting structure 13, further improving the versatility of the packaging structure.

[0040] The bottom surface of the abutment structure 13 is disposed on the support platform 11, ensuring that the position of the abutment structure 13 is relatively fixed, thereby ensuring that the abutment structure 13 can reliably abut and support the water distribution head fixing plate 101. The bottom surface of the abutment structure 13 has an easy-break groove 131 recessed into the interior of the abutment structure 13, which reduces the connection strength between the bottom surface and the support platform 11 while ensuring the structural strength of the abutment structure 13, and facilitates the adjustment of the abutment structure 13. Preferably, the depth of the easy-break groove 131 located on the bottom surface ranges from 6mm to 12mm. When the depth of the easy-open groove 131 on the bottom surface is too small, it is inconvenient for the user to operate on the easy-open groove 131, which increases the difficulty of adjusting the abutment structure 13. When the depth of the easy-open groove 131 on the bottom surface is too large, the connection strength between the abutment structure 13 and the support platform 11 cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, only when the depth of the easy-open groove 131 on the bottom surface is between 6mm and 12mm can the connection strength between the abutment structure 13 and the support platform 11 be guaranteed and the difficulty of adjusting the abutment structure 13 be reduced.

[0041] Since the abutment structure 13 utilizes its length to support the manifold head fixing plate 101, to further reduce the difficulty of adjusting the abutment structure 13, its bottom surface is positioned on the support platform 11. The abutment structure 13 also has a side surface adjacent to the bottom surface, which is recessed into the interior of the abutment structure 13 to form the easy-break groove 131. This side surface is the side of the abutment structure 13 in its width direction. The easy-break groove 131 on the side surface further reduces the difficulty of adjusting the abutment structure 13 and facilitates the user's operation when removing the abutment structure 13. Preferably, the depth of the easy-break groove 131 on the side surface ranges from 3mm to 6mm. When the depth of the easy-open groove 131 on the side is too small, it is inconvenient for the user to operate the easy-open groove 131, which increases the difficulty of adjusting the abutment structure 13. When the depth of the easy-open groove 131 on the side is too large, the connection strength between the abutment structure 13 and the support platform 11 cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, only when the depth of the easy-open groove 131 on the side is between 3mm and 6mm can the connection strength between the abutment structure 13 and the support platform 11 be guaranteed and the difficulty of adjusting the abutment structure 13 be reduced.

[0042] The water receiving tray 102 also has a side wall 104. The protective groove 12 has a second contact surface 122 for supporting the side wall 104. The second contact surface 122 and the first contact surface 121 share a first common edge. In the width direction of the water receiving tray 102, the dimension of the first common edge is 38% to 41% of the width of the water receiving tray 102. This design ensures the buffer strength protection of the water receiving tray 102 while minimizing costs, eliminating the need for a full-wrap design of the water receiving tray 102. In particular, when a drain pipe is provided on the end wall 103 of the water receiving tray 102, the height of the first contact surface 121 can avoid interference with the drain pipe, while also ensuring reliable protection of the drain pipe, further improving the protection effect on the fan coil unit. The second contact surface 122 and the side wall 104 can have an angle, with the angle ranging from 0° to 2°, which is within an acceptable tolerance range. Preferably, the second contact surface 122 and the side wall 104 are parallel to each other.

[0043] The water receiving tray 102 also has a bottom wall 105, and the protective groove 12 also has a third contact surface 123 for supporting the bottom wall 105. The third contact surface 123 is parallel to the bottom wall 105, and a gap of 1mm to 2mm is reserved between the third contact surface 123 and the bottom wall 105 to avoid assembly difficulties due to interference. The first contact surface 121, the second contact surface 122, and the third contact surface 123 work together to protect the ends of the water receiving tray 102, especially the corners of the ends, thereby ensuring the protective effect of the water receiving tray 102.

[0044] The thickness of the body ranges from 12mm to 18mm. A thickness within this range ensures reliable protection of the fan coil unit's ends. Preferably, material-saving design can be implemented without compromising strength, reducing the weight of the packaging structure and further lowering costs.

[0045] A packaging assembly for a fan coil unit includes the aforementioned packaging structure.

[0046] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
