Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning packaging technology, and in particular to a packaging structure for a horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the new energy industry, horizontal liquid-cooled air conditioners for energy storage can effectively control the temperature of energy storage batteries in power grid-side energy storage power stations, distributed energy storage systems, and other power energy storage fields, thereby improving the charging and discharging efficiency and cycle life of energy storage systems and ensuring the stable operation of power systems. In the process of moving from the manufacturing stage to the market end, the packaging structure plays a crucial role in ensuring product integrity and facilitating transportation and storage.
[0003] Traditional packaging and shipping methods for horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioners often involve using custom-made bases to support the equipment. Specifically, this involves custom-molding a base specifically to match the bottom contour and dimensions of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner, creating a precisely fitted positioning cavity. However, mold manufacturing costs are high, especially for small-batch production of special-specification horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioners. The cost of the mold, when spread across a single unit, significantly increases the cost of the packaging base. Furthermore, if the bottom structure of the air conditioner changes slightly due to design optimizations or functional improvements, the original mold may become obsolete, requiring a significant investment in creating a new mold, further increasing operating costs and production management complexity.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new packaging structure that can both stabilize and fix horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioners, ensure transportation safety, and reduce costs.
[0005] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a packaging structure for a horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner, which aims to ensure the packaging is sturdy and reduce costs.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A packaging structure for a horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner is disclosed. The horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner has ear plates on its side, and mounting holes are provided on the ear plates. The packaging structure includes a wooden base supporting the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner, corner protectors provided on each corner of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner, and an outer cover covering the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner and the corner protectors. The horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner is placed on the top surface of the wooden base, and self-tapping screws are driven into the wooden base from top to bottom through the mounting holes, so that the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner is fixed on the wooden base.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the top surface of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner is covered with foam board.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the corner protector is a pearl cotton corner protector, which appears L-shaped when viewed from above.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the wooden base includes a rectangular lower plate, pads disposed at the four corners of the lower plate, a middle pad extending laterally in the middle of the lower plate, and an upper plate disposed on the pads and the middle pad.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the outer cover is a paper cover and is bound to the wooden base by packaging straps.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The packaging structure of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner provided by this utility model abandons the traditional method of customizing and creating a base positioning cavity specifically for the bottom contour and size of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner. It eliminates the need to bear the high cost of mold making. With the cooperation of the mounting holes on the air conditioner's own ear plate structure, self-tapping screws, and wooden base, the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner can be reliably fixed, making it less prone to displacement or collision damage due to external forces such as bumps and shaking during transportation.

[0018] This utility model provides a packaging structure for a horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] The horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 is equipped with ear plates 11 on its sides, and the ear plates 11 have mounting holes. During actual use and installation, the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 is fixed to the installation platform by bolts passing through the mounting holes and connecting to the threaded holes on the installation platform.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a packaging structure for a horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1. The horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 has an ear plate 11 on its side, and the ear plate 11 has a mounting hole. The packaging structure includes a wooden base 2 supporting the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1, corner protectors 3 set on each corner of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1, and an outer cover 4 covering the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 and the corner protectors 3. The horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 is placed on the top surface of the wooden base 2, and self-tapping screws 5 pass through the mounting holes from top to bottom and are driven into the wooden base 2, so that the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 is fixed on the wooden base 2.
[0021] During packaging and assembly, the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 is first placed horizontally on top of the wooden base 2, positioning the ear plates 11 for easy access. Next, self-tapping screws 5 are inserted from top to bottom through pre-drilled mounting holes in the ear plates 11. Utilizing the self-tapping screws' ability to penetrate the wooden base 2, the screws gradually tighten, securing the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 firmly to the base. Then, corner protectors 3 are installed on each corner of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 to protect and cushion the edges. Finally, the outer cover 4 completely encloses the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 and the corner protectors 3, forming a complete packaging structure that ensures the safety and integrity of the product during transportation, storage, and other circulation stages.
[0022] The packaging structure of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 provided by this utility model abandons the traditional method of customizing and creating a base positioning cavity based on the bottom contour and size of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1. It eliminates the need to bear the high cost of mold making. With the cooperation of the mounting holes on the air conditioner's own ear plate 11 structure, self-tapping screws 5, and wooden base 2, the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 can be reliably fixed, making it less likely to be displaced or damaged by collisions due to external forces such as bumps and shaking during transportation. With the protection of the corners by the corner protectors 3 and the overall wrapping of the outer cover 4, the integrity of the product is fully guaranteed in the circulation links such as transportation and storage.
[0023] Furthermore, the top surface of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 is covered with foam board 6. During transportation and handling, vibration, bumps, and collisions are unavoidable. Foam board 6 is lightweight and elastic, possessing excellent cushioning performance. It can effectively absorb and disperse external impacts, preventing damage to the air conditioner's outer casing or displacement or damage to internal precision components due to accidental collisions or road bumps. This effectively ensures the integrity and functionality of the equipment, minimizes transportation risks, and ensures that the product can be put into normal use upon arrival at its destination. Especially during warehousing, stacking, loading, and unloading, without protection, the top surface of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 is easily exposed to other hard objects, resulting in scratches and abrasions that affect the product's appearance. Foam board 6, as a soft and relatively thick protective layer, can prevent direct friction with external objects, maintaining the air conditioner's clean and intact appearance and ensuring the product's aesthetics.
[0024] Specifically, the corner protector 3 is a pearl cotton corner protector 3. Pearl cotton is lightweight, soft, and elastic, and has excellent cushioning and shock absorption capabilities. During the transportation and handling of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1, whether it encounters slight bumps and vibrations or more severe collisions and drops, the L-shaped pearl cotton corner protector 3 can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, greatly reducing the direct impact of external forces on the corners of the air conditioner, and avoiding damage such as dents, deformation, paint peeling, or even cracks at the corners due to impact, thus effectively ensuring the integrity of the product's appearance and the stability of its internal structure.
[0025] From a top-down view, the corner protectors 3 are L-shaped. They fit the rectangular structure of the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1, allowing them to fit snugly against each corner, providing all-around, seamless protection.
[0026] Furthermore, the wooden base 2 includes a rectangular lower plate 21, pads 22 disposed at the four corners of the lower plate 21, a horizontally extending central pad 23 disposed in the middle of the lower plate 21, and an upper plate 24 disposed on the pads 22 and the central pad 23. The pads 22 at the four corners and the horizontally extending central pad 23 work together to support the upper plate 24 and the horizontal energy storage liquid-cooled air conditioner 1 placed on it. The pads 22 are distributed at the four corners, providing stable fulcrums and effectively distributing the weight of the equipment, preventing the base from collapsing or tilting under heavy pressure; the central pad 23 strengthens the support in the central area, copes with the possible concentrated weight distribution in the middle of the air conditioner, avoids deformation of the wooden base 2 due to long-term load, ensures the overall structure is stable and reliable, provides a solid foundation for the entire process of equipment transportation and storage, and ensures the product's stable and safe posture.
[0027] Preferably, the outer cover 4 is a paper cover and is bound to the wooden base 2 by packaging straps. This binding method ensures that the paper cover fits tightly against the product and the corner protectors 3, effectively preventing loss of protective effect due to loosening or displacement of the paper cover during transportation and handling, maintaining the overall stability and sealing of the packaging, and protecting the internal product from external dust, moisture, and other adverse factors.
[0028] It is understood that a portion of the packaging strap will pass through the gap between the upper plate 24 and the lower plate 21, so that packaging can be achieved without lifting the wooden base 2.
