Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air source water heater accessories, specifically an installation structure for an air source heat pump water heater. Background Technology

[0002] An air source heat pump water heater is a device that uses air energy as a heat source to produce hot water through the principle of a heat pump. The compressor compresses low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant vapor into high-pressure hot steam, which flows through copper pipes wrapped around the outside of the water tank, transferring heat to the water inside the tank and heating the water. Modern air source heat pump water heaters usually have intelligent control functions, which can set the water temperature according to user needs and automatically adjust the operating status.

[0003] Air source heat pump water heaters widely used in the market require sufficient air circulation to absorb heat during operation. Therefore, the external air source unit needs to be installed at a high position to ensure sufficient air circulation around the unit and improve the working efficiency of the heat pump. However, in actual installation, due to the large overall weight of the air source unit, once it is placed on the fixed bracket, it is difficult to adjust its position if it deviates during the installation of the duct. The adjustment is quite difficult. To address this issue, we propose an air source heat pump water heater installation structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for an air source heat pump water heater to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an air source heat pump water heater installation structure applied to the housing of an air source unit. The front end of the air source unit housing has a hot water outlet and a cold water inlet. A mounting base plate is provided below the air source unit housing. Two sets of guide grooves are opened at the top of the mounting base plate. Two sets of guide rails are fixed at the bottom of the air source unit housing. Both sets of guide rails can be inserted into the two sets of guide grooves on the mounting base plate. A fixing sleeve is installed on the upper front side of the mounting base plate. A threaded sleeve is fixed on the fixing sleeve. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve. A top plate is rotatably connected to the rear end of the threaded rod. A throttle is fixed to the front end of the threaded rod. A mounting base is fixed to the outer wall of the front end of the air source unit housing. The top plate can be fixedly connected to the mounting base with screws. An interface protection kit is provided on the right side of the mounting base plate.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the interface protection kit includes a sliding sleeve fixed to the outer right wall of the mounting base plate, a slider slidably connected inside the sliding sleeve, an insulation sleeve fixed to the top of the slider, and two sets of through slots opened at the front end of the insulation sleeve. A widened groove is opened in the middle of the two sets of through slots, and a movable sealing component is provided in the middle of the front end of the insulation sleeve.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the movable sealing assembly includes a guide rod disposed in the middle of the front end of the insulation sleeve, two sets of guide blocks slidably connected to the outside of the guide rod, sealing side plates fixed to the outside of the two sets of guide blocks, and a return spring wound around the outside of the guide rod. A push plate is fixed to the front end of each of the two sets of sealing side plates.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, mounting plates are fixedly installed at all four corners of the mounting base, and each mounting plate has a strip groove.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the outer wall of the throttle is provided with multiple sets of anti-slip grooves at equal intervals along the throttle axis.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the size of the widened groove corresponds to the size of the connecting sleeve connected to the outside of the hot water outlet and the cold water inlet.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the two ends of the guide rod are respectively connected to the outer wall of one end of the two sets of guide blocks, and the two sets of guide blocks are elastically connected to each other through the guide rod.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, both sets of sealing side plates have sealing sleeves glued to their rear outer walls.

[0013] This utility model provides an installation structure for an air source heat pump water heater, which has the following advantages:

[0014] I. This utility model features an installation base plate at the bottom of the air source unit housing, allowing the housing to be mounted on a bracket. When the position of the housing needs adjustment, a threaded rod on the installation base plate can be rotated, allowing the threaded rod to precisely adjust the lateral position of the housing. This ensures accurate positioning of the housing, guaranteeing stability during installation and enabling quick adjustment. It effectively reduces the difficulty of adjusting the housing and improves the ease of installation.

[0015] II. This utility model features movable insulation sleeves installed at the hot water outlet and cold water inlet sides.

[0029] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of the installation structure of an air source heat pump water heater according to this utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in this embodiment, an air source heat pump water heater installation structure is applied to an air source unit housing 1. The front end of the air source unit housing 1 is provided with a hot water outlet 2 and a cold water inlet 3. A mounting base plate 4 is provided below the air source unit housing 1. Two sets of guide grooves 6 are opened at the top of the mounting base plate 4. Two sets of guide rails 7 are fixed at the bottom of the air source unit housing 1. Both sets of guide rails 7 can be inserted into the two sets of guide grooves 6 on the mounting base plate 4. A fixing sleeve 8 is installed on the upper front side of the mounting base plate 4. A threaded sleeve 9 is fixed on the fixing sleeve 8. The threaded sleeve 9 is internally threaded to a threaded rod 10. The rear end of the threaded rod 10 is rotatably connected to a top plate 11. The front end of the threaded rod 10 is fixed to a handle 12. Multiple anti-slip grooves are evenly spaced along the axis of the handle 12 on the outer wall of the handle 12. This design can effectively increase the friction between the handle 12 and the user's hand, making it easier for the user to grip and twist the handle 12 effectively. The front outer wall of the air source unit housing 1 is fixed to a mounting base 13. The top plate 11 can be fixedly connected to the mounting base 13 with screws. An interface protection kit is provided on the right side of the mounting base 4.

[0031] By installing a mounting base plate 4 at the bottom of the air source unit housing 1, the air source unit housing 1 can be mounted on the bracket by driving the mounting base plate 4. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the air source unit housing 1, the threaded rod 10 on the mounting base plate 4 can be rotated, so that the threaded rod 10 can drive the air source unit housing 1 to make precise lateral position adjustment under the action of the thread, and can accurately position the air source unit housing 1. This not only ensures the stability of the air source unit housing 1 during installation, but also allows for quick adjustment of the position of the air source unit housing 1, effectively reducing the difficulty of adjusting the air source unit housing 1 and improving the convenience of installation.

[0032] In other embodiments, the interface protection kit includes a sliding sleeve 14 fixed to the outer right side of the mounting base plate 4, a slider 15 slidably connected inside the sliding sleeve 14, an insulation sleeve 16 fixed to the top of the slider 15, and two sets of through slots 17 opened at the front end of the insulation sleeve 16. A widened slot 18 is opened in the middle of both sets of through slots 17, and a movable sealing component is provided in the middle of the front end of the insulation sleeve 16.

[0033] By installing movable insulation sleeves 16 on the sides of hot water outlet 2 and cold water inlet 3, when the external pipes of hot water outlet 2 and cold water inlet 3 are connected, the insulation sleeves 16 can be pushed to allow the slider 15 to move back and forth along the inside of the sliding sleeve 14, and the two sets of through grooves 17 on the insulation sleeves 16 can be moved to the outside of the connection between hot water outlet 2 and cold water inlet 3, thus forming a protective barrier for the outside of the connection between hot water outlet 2 and cold water inlet 3. This effectively prevents external contact with the connection between hot water outlet 2 and cold water inlet 3, which could lead to loosening and damage, thereby ensuring that the equipment can operate normally for a long time.

[0034] In other embodiments, the movable sealing assembly includes a guide rod 19 disposed at the middle of the front end of the insulation sleeve 16, two sets of guide blocks 20 slidably connected to the outside of the guide rod 19, sealing side plates 21 fixed to the outside of the two sets of guide blocks 20, and a return spring 23 wound around the outside of the guide rod 19. The two ends of the guide rod 19 are respectively connected to the outer wall of the opposite end of the two sets of guide blocks 20. The two sets of guide blocks 20 are elastically connected to each other through the guide rod 19, so that the guide rod 19 can continuously apply opposite forces to the two sets of guide blocks 20, so that the two sets of guide blocks 20 can drive the sealing side plates 21 to move quickly to the front opening of the two sets of through grooves 17 on the insulation sleeve 16. Push plates 22 are fixed to the front ends of the two sets of sealing side plates 21.

[0035] By installing two sets of vertically movable sealing side plates 21 at the middle of the front end of the insulation sleeve 16, when the insulation sleeve 16 moves to the outside of the hot water outlet 2 and the cold water inlet 3, and the pipes connected to the outside of the hot water outlet 2 and the cold water inlet 3 are placed into the through groove 17 on the insulation sleeve 16, the return spring 23 outside the guide rod 19 can release its elastic force to push the two sets of guide blocks 20 to move in opposite directions, so that the sealing side plates 21 on the two sets of guide blocks 20 can quickly move to the openings at the front end of the two sets of through grooves 17 on the insulation sleeve 16, so that the two sets of sealing side plates 21 can seal the openings of the two sets of through grooves 17, thereby effectively preventing external objects from entering the inside of the through grooves 17 from the openings, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the through grooves 17, and thus facilitating the later maintenance of the connection between the hot water outlet 2 and the cold water inlet 3.

[0036] In other embodiments, mounting plates 5 are fixedly installed at all four corners of the mounting base plate 4, and each mounting plate 5 has a strip groove.

[0037] This design allows the four sets of mounting plates 5 on the mounting base plate 4 to be quickly installed on the bracket using bolts, and the bolts in the slots allow for quick adjustment of the mounting position of the mounting base plate 4.

[0038] In other embodiments, the size of the widened groove 18 corresponds to the size of the connecting sleeve connected to the outside of the hot water outlet 2 and the cold water inlet 3;

[0039] With this design, when external pipes are installed outside the hot water outlet 2 and cold water inlet 3 via connecting sleeves, it is ensured that the widened groove 18 inside the through groove 17 can be smoothly moved to the connecting sleeves outside the hot water outlet 2 and cold water inlet 3.

[0040] In other embodiments, sealing sleeves are glued to the outer rear end of both sets of sealing side plates 21.

[0041] This design effectively reduces the gap between the sealing side plate 21 and the opening at the front end of the through groove 17, allowing the sealing side plate 21 to effectively seal the opening at the front end of the through groove 17.

[0042] This utility model provides an installation structure for an air source heat pump water heater, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0043] During installation, the mounting base plate 4 is first installed on the bracket, and then the air source unit housing 1 is lifted so that the two sets of guide rails 7 at the bottom of the air source unit housing 1 are inserted into the two sets of guide grooves 6 on the mounting base plate 4. The top plate 11 and the mounting seat 13 on the outside of the air source unit housing 1 are then fixed with bolts. When fine-tuning the position of the air source unit housing 1 is required, the handle 12 is turned to rotate the threaded rod 10 inside the threaded sleeve 9, allowing the threaded rod 10 to adjust the position of the air source unit housing 1. Then, the external pipes are connected to the hot water outlet 2 and the cold water inlet 3, and the insulation sleeve 16 is then installed. The two sets of sealing side plates 21 are pushed in opposite directions, causing the guide blocks 20 on them to move in opposite directions along the guide rod 19. The return spring 23 outside the guide rod 19 contracts and stores force. When the two sets of sealing side plates 21 are completely away from the opening of the through groove 17, the insulation sleeve 16 can be pushed, causing the insulation sleeve 16 to move the two sets of through grooves 17 to the outside of the pipe connected to the hot water outlet 2 and the cold water inlet 3. Then the pushing force on the two sets of sealing side plates 21 is released, and the return spring 23 releases its elastic force to push the two sets of guide blocks 20 to move in opposite directions, so that the two sets of sealing side plates 21 can seal the openings of the two sets of through grooves 17 on the insulation sleeve 16. The installation operation is now complete.

[0044] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
