Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner accessories technology, and in particular to a plastic panel structure for an air conditioner main unit that can prevent shrinkage. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioner, is a device that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow of the air in a building or structure. It generally includes several major parts such as cold / heat source equipment, cold / heat medium distribution system, terminal devices, and other auxiliary equipment. The main components include a refrigeration unit, water pump, fan, and piping system. The terminal devices are responsible for using the distributed cold or heat to specifically process the air conditioner and make the air parameters of the target environment meet certain requirements. Air conditioners need to be cleaned after a period of use. In order to effectively protect the front end of the air conditioner, a plastic panel needs to be installed on the front of the air conditioner unit.

[0003] To fix the plastic panel to the main unit, screw protrusions are usually required to extend from the panel. To ensure strength, the root wall thickness of the screw protrusion is often relatively thick. However, due to uneven cooling and uneven shrinkage of the plastic in the mold cavity, shrinkage marks are easily generated on the panel surface, causing appearance problems. Moreover, air conditioner panels are usually installed with screws, which is inconvenient for quick installation and disassembly. Therefore, we propose an air conditioner main unit plastic panel structure that can prevent shrinkage marks to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plastic panel structure for an air conditioner main unit that can prevent shrinkage, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An air conditioner main unit plastic panel structure that can prevent shrinkage includes: a panel body, an arc-shaped connecting part integrally formed at each of the four top corners of the panel body, a cylindrical connecting part integrally formed at the other end of the arc-shaped connecting part, a plurality of positioning grooves provided at the top of the cylindrical connecting part, and a connecting mechanism provided at each of the four top corners of the panel body.

[0007] The connecting mechanism includes: an external hexagonal nut, a threaded post, a positioning plate, and a positioning claw. The positioning claw is movably inserted into the corresponding positioning groove. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the positioning claw. A hexagonal plate is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod. The hexagonal plate is slidably installed inside the threaded post. The threaded post passes through the interior of the cylindrical connecting part. The positioning plate is fixedly installed at one end of the threaded post.

[0008] Preferably, the other end of the threaded column is provided with a hexagonal groove, the hexagonal plate is slidably installed in the hexagonal groove, a compression spring is fixedly installed on the top of the hexagonal plate, the other end of the compression spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hexagonal groove, the top of the positioning piece is provided with multiple sliding holes, and the positioning claw is slidably installed in the sliding holes.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning piece is movably abutted against the top of the cylindrical connecting part, a hexagonal groove is provided on the inner wall of the top of the cylindrical connecting part, the external hexagonal nut is movably inserted into the hexagonal groove, a through hole is provided on the inner wall of the top of the hexagonal groove, and the threaded post passes through the through hole.

[0010] Preferably, the panel body has round holes at the top four corners, the round holes are located directly below the corresponding cylindrical connecting parts, and the front and rear ends of the panel body are integrally formed with bent parts.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the panel body is provided with a stepped hole, and a dustproof net is provided inside the stepped hole.

[0012] Preferably, the dustproof net is fixedly installed in the stepped hole by bolts.

[0013] In this utility model, an air conditioner main unit plastic panel structure that can prevent shrinkage is described. By inserting an external hexagonal wrench adapted to the hexagonal groove into the hexagonal groove and pushing the hexagonal plate upward, the compression spring is squeezed. The positioning claw is pushed to move by the connecting rod, so that the positioning claw disengages from the positioning groove, releasing the lock on the rotation of the threaded column. Then, the pushing force of the external hexagonal wrench is maintained and its rotation is controlled to 90°, thereby driving the positioning plate and the threaded column to rotate. Then, the panel body is placed in the air conditioner main unit installation position. Then, the external hexagonal wrench is rotated in the opposite direction to drive the positioning plate to reset. The panel body is installed and fixed by the abutment between the positioning plate and the inside of the air conditioner main unit.

[0014] In this utility model, the air conditioner host plastic panel structure that can prevent shrinkage is provided with bolts that allow the dustproof net to be installed inside the panel body, and the bolts can be easily unscrewed to disassemble and clean the dustproof net.

[0015] This utility model has a reasonable structural design. The arc-shaped connecting part and the cylindrical connecting part are designed so that the cylindrical connecting part can avoid direct contact with the panel body while maintaining the connection strength, thereby reducing the possibility of shrinkage. The connecting mechanism facilitates quick installation and disassembly of the panel. Attached Figure Description
