Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, and specifically relates to an air conditioner evaporator guard plate. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner evaporator cover is a protective device installed inside the indoor unit of an air conditioner, covering the surface of the evaporator. Its main function is to prevent external dust and debris from entering the evaporator. It is usually made of plastic or metal and designed with appropriate ventilation holes to ensure air circulation. However, in actual use, existing evaporator covers have some problems, the most common being dust accumulation. Due to its location near the air inlet, a large amount of dust inevitably accumulates at the ventilation holes after long-term operation. If not cleaned in time, this dust may enter the evaporator through the gaps, affecting the cooling effect. The conventional solution is to clean and check the fixing condition regularly. For the dust accumulation problem, the cover can be removed for a more thorough cleaning. However, this method has certain drawbacks. Frequent disassembly and reassembly of the cover can easily lead to a loose connection between the cover and the evaporator, and maintenance requires professional operation, increasing the difficulty of maintenance. Therefore, a new structure is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner evaporator guard plate to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an air conditioner evaporator guard plate, comprising: an air conditioner body and a guard plate assembly, wherein the air conditioner body is equipped with a guard plate assembly for protecting the evaporator, and the guard plate assembly includes a dustproof plate for installation on the inner side of the guard plate assembly;

[0005] The protective plate assembly is provided with a mounting groove on the left and right sides of the rear side, and the dustproof plate is provided with a mounting strip on the left and right sides for sliding installation with the mounting groove. The dustproof plate has several sets of ventilation holes on the front side.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the air conditioner body has a top cover installed on the front, an evaporator is provided inside the air conditioner body, a fixing plate is provided at the bottom of the protective plate assembly, mounting holes are provided on the left and right sides of the front of the fixing plate, and the fixing plate is installed and fixed to the lower front of the evaporator by two sets of bolts.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing plate and the protective plate assembly are an integral structure. The protective plate assembly has several sets of ventilation holes equidistantly opened on the front side, and the ventilation holes are opposite to the air inlet at the bottom of the air conditioner body.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the protective plate assembly is a curved structure that matches the external shape of the evaporator. The protective plate assembly has two sets of mounting grooves vertically arranged on the left and right sides of its back. The mounting grooves are non-through structures below and at the bottom of the mounting grooves. This design prevents the mounting grooves and mounting strips from being over-installed, which could cause the positions of ventilation hole one and ventilation hole two to be misaligned, resulting in poor air circulation.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a rubber pad is glued to the back of each mounting groove. The rubber pad is made of flexible rubber and its back is attached to the left and right edges of the evaporator. The shape of the protective plate assembly matches the shape of the front of the evaporator. Therefore, when the protective plate assembly is pressed against the front of the evaporator, the back of the rubber pad on its left and right sides is attached to and in contact with the left and right edges of the front of the evaporator, respectively. Thus, the friction between the rubber pad and the edge of the front of the evaporator can increase the installation stability of the protective plate assembly.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting slide and the dustproof plate are an integral structure. The dustproof plate is made of polyethylene. The length, width, and thickness of the mounting slide match the length, width, and depth of the mounting groove. Two sets of quick-release handles are provided on the top left and right sides of the dustproof plate. The dustproof plate is made of polyethylene, so it has a certain degree of flexibility, which makes it easy to install the dustproof plate into the inside of the arc-shaped protective plate assembly and easy to pull out the dustproof plate through the two sets of removal handles, thereby facilitating maintenance and cleaning.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the first ventilation hole and the second ventilation hole are exactly the same in size and number, and the positions of the first ventilation hole and the second ventilation hole are opposite to each other.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a dustproof mesh is glued inside the second ventilation hole, and the specifications of the dustproof mesh match the specifications of the second ventilation hole.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting up a protective plate assembly, the protective plate assembly includes a dustproof plate installed between two sets of mounting slides. The fixing plate below the protective plate assembly is installed below the evaporator by two sets of bolts, thereby installing the protective plate assembly on the front side of the evaporator. The back of the rubber soft pads glued to the back of the two sets of mounting slides are in contact with the left and right edges of the front of the evaporator. When the air conditioner is working, air enters the air conditioner from the air inlet. At this time, the air first passes through the protective plate assembly, and then passes through several sets of ventilation holes one opened in the protective plate assembly and then through several sets of ventilation holes two opened in the dustproof plate. The dustproof mesh glued inside the ventilation holes two filters the dust and impurities in the air, thereby preventing dust and impurities from entering the evaporator and greatly improving the dustproof efficiency of the protective plate assembly.

[0014] 2. By incorporating mounting grooves, mounting strips, and quick-release handles, the dust cover assembly requires maintenance after prolonged use. First, open the top cover to expose the air conditioner unit. Then, fasten the quick-release handles on the top left and right sides of the dust cover and lift it upwards. The mounting strips on the left and right sides of the dust cover will slide upwards from the mounting grooves on the back of the dust cover assembly, allowing the dust cover to be pulled out. The dust filter inside the second ventilation hole can then be cleaned. Therefore, the final result is that maintenance can be completed by removing the dust cover alone, without disassembling the entire dust cover assembly, greatly reducing the difficulty of maintenance and improving efficiency.

[0023] 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 one aspect of the present utility model, and not all aspects. 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 An air conditioner evaporator guard plate includes: an air conditioner body 100 and a guard plate assembly 200. The air conditioner body 100 is equipped with a guard plate assembly 200 for protecting the evaporator. The guard plate assembly 200 includes a dustproof plate 250 for installation on the inner side of the guard plate assembly 200.

[0025] The protective plate assembly 200 has a mounting groove 230 on the left and right sides of the rear side, and the dustproof plate 250 has a mounting strip 260 on the left and right sides for sliding installation with the mounting groove 230. The dustproof plate 250 has several sets of ventilation holes 270 on the front side.

[0026] The air conditioner body 100 has a top cover 110 installed on the front. The air conditioner body 100 has an evaporator inside. The bottom of the protective plate assembly 200 has a fixing plate 220. The fixing plate 220 has mounting holes 221 on the left and right sides of the front. The fixing plate 220 is fixed to the lower front of the evaporator by two sets of bolts.

[0027] The fixing plate 220 and the protective plate assembly 200 are integrated into one structure. The protective plate assembly 200 has several sets of ventilation holes 210 equidistantly opened on the front side. The ventilation holes 210 are opposite to the air inlet at the bottom of the air conditioner body 100.

[0028] The protective plate assembly 200 is a curved structure that matches the external shape of the evaporator. The protective plate assembly 200 has two sets of mounting grooves 230 vertically arranged on the left and right sides of the back. The bottom of the mounting groove 230 is a non-through structure. The design of the mounting groove 230 having a non-through structure at the bottom can prevent the mounting groove 230 and the mounting strip 260 from being over-installed, which would cause the position of the first ventilation hole 210 to be misaligned with the position of the second ventilation hole 270, resulting in poor air circulation.

[0029] Each mounting slide 230 has a rubber pad 240 glued to its back. The rubber pad 240 is made of flexible rubber and its back is attached to the left and right edges of the evaporator. The shape of the guard plate assembly 200 matches the shape of the front of the evaporator. Therefore, when the guard plate assembly 200 is placed on the front of the evaporator, the back of the rubber pads 240 on its left and right sides is attached to and in contact with the left and right edges of the front of the evaporator. Thus, the friction between the rubber pads 240 and the edges of the front of the evaporator increases the installation stability of the guard plate assembly 200.

[0030] The mounting strip 260 and the dustproof plate 250 are integrated into one structure. The dustproof plate 250 is made of polyethylene. The length, width, and thickness of the mounting strip 260 match the length, width, and depth of the mounting groove 230. Two sets of quick-release handles 280 are provided on the top left and right sides of the dustproof plate 250. The dustproof plate 250 is made of polyethylene, so it has a certain degree of flexibility, which makes it easy to install the dustproof plate 250 into the inside of the arc-shaped protective plate assembly 200, and easy to pull out the dustproof plate 250 through the two sets of removal handles, thus facilitating maintenance and cleaning.

[0031] Ventilation hole 1 210 and ventilation hole 2 270 are exactly the same in specifications and number, and the positions of ventilation hole 1 210 and ventilation hole 2 270 are opposite to each other.

[0032] Ventilation hole 270 has a dustproof mesh 271 bonded inside, and the specifications of the dustproof mesh 271 match those of ventilation hole 270.

[0033] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In actual use, the fixing plate 220 at the bottom of the protective plate assembly 200 has through mounting holes 221 on the left and right sides of the front. The fixing plate 220 is installed under the evaporator by two sets of bolts, thereby installing the protective plate assembly 200 on the front of the evaporator. Since the shape of the protective plate assembly 200 matches the shape of the front of the evaporator, when the protective plate assembly 200 is installed on the front of the evaporator, the back of the rubber pad 240 on the back of the mounting groove 230 on the left and right sides of the back of the protective plate assembly 200 is in contact with the edges of the left and right sides of the front of the evaporator. Therefore, there is a gap between the protective plate assembly 200 and the front of the evaporator, which facilitates the air circulation. Moreover, the rubber pad 240 is made of flexible rubber. After it is in contact with the left and right edges of the evaporator, there is friction between the two, which ensures the stability of the protective plate assembly 200.

[0034] A dustproof plate 250 is installed inside the protective plate assembly 200. The mounting grooves 230 on the left and right sides of the dustproof plate 250 are located inside the mounting grooves 230 on the left and right sides of the back of the protective plate assembly 200. Several sets of ventilation holes 270 are provided through the front of the dustproof plate 250. The positions of the ventilation holes 270 are opposite to the positions of several sets of ventilation holes 210 on the front of the protective plate assembly 200. The ventilation holes 210 are opposite to the air inlet at the bottom of the air conditioner body 100. A dustproof mesh 271 is glued inside the ventilation holes 270, which can adsorb and filter dust in the air. When the air conditioner body 100 is working, it draws in indoor air through the air inlet. After the air enters the air conditioner body 100, it first passes through several sets of ventilation holes 210, and then continues to pass through several sets of ventilation holes 270. It is filtered by the dustproof mesh 271 inside the ventilation holes 270, so that the dust in the air is adsorbed on the dustproof mesh 271. Therefore, the dustproof efficiency of the protective plate assembly 200 is greatly improved.

[0035] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 After prolonged use, dust will accumulate inside the ventilation holes 210 and on the surface of the protective panel assembly 200. Therefore, the protective panel assembly 200 needs to be maintained and cleaned. First, open the top cover 110 to expose the interior of the air conditioner body 100. Then, locate the protective panel assembly 200. After locating the protective panel assembly 200, quick-release handles 280 are provided on the top left and right sides of the dustproof plate 250 installed inside the protective panel assembly 200. Hold the two quick-release handles 280 with your fingers and pull the dustproof plate 250 upward. Since the dustproof plate 250 is made of polyethylene, it has a certain degree of flexibility, allowing the mounting strips 260 on the left and right sides of the dustproof plate 250 to slide upward from the two mounting grooves 230 and disengage, thereby removing the entire dustproof plate 250.

[0036] It is important to note that the several sets of ventilation holes 210 on the front of the protective plate assembly 200 have a dustproof effect. Therefore, after air enters the ventilation hole 210, most of the dust will be absorbed and filtered by the dust filter 271 inside the ventilation hole 270. A small amount of dust will remain inside the ventilation hole 210 and on the outer surface of the protective plate assembly 200. After removing the dustproof plate 250, the dust filter 271 inside the ventilation hole 270 can be cleaned and maintained. Then, use a cleaning wet wipe to wipe away the dust on the outer surface of the protective plate assembly 200, and use a soft brush to brush away the small amount of dust inside the ventilation hole 210. The final effect is to greatly improve maintenance efficiency and the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the dustproof plate 250.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
