[0002] In the existing technology, there are many models of fan coil units depending on the cooling capacity. In addition, there are different static pressures, resulting in dozens of fan coil unit models. This makes it difficult for companies to manage product range, warehousing and sales. At the customer end, incorrect selection may lead to the purchased unit not meeting the user's needs, resulting in returns and replacements, which brings unnecessary trouble to both companies and users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the first objective of this invention is to provide a terminal block installation structure that integrates the terminal blocks into the electrical control box, transforming the original four-position terminal block into a five-position structure, representing ultra-high wind speed, high wind speed, medium wind speed, low wind speed, and neutral wire. This merges the ultra-high wind speed and high wind speed settings, reducing product models, improving product versatility, lowering management difficulty, significantly reducing replacement and maintenance costs, and providing customers with greater flexibility in their choices. The second objective of this invention is to provide a static pressure variable fan coil unit with the aforementioned terminal block installation structure. When connected to the ultra-high wind speed setting, the static pressure is 30Pa; when connected to the high wind speed setting, the static pressure is 12Pa, thus achieving adjustable static pressure.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A terminal block mounting structure includes an electrical control box and terminal blocks installed inside the electrical control box. The terminal block is a five-position terminal block, comprising a base with reinforcing blocks formed on both sides of its upper end. Multiple partition blocks are spaced between the reinforcing blocks, and wiring ports are formed between the reinforcing blocks, partition blocks, and adjacent partition blocks. These wiring ports include at least an ultra-high wind power connection port, a high wind power connection port, a medium wind power connection port, a low wind power connection port, and a neutral wire connection port. The medium wind power connection port and the low wind power connection port are connected to two live wires of the fan coil unit. The neutral wire connection port is connected to one neutral wire of the fan coil unit. One of the ultra-high wind power connection port and the high wind power connection port is selected to connect to one live wire of the fan coil unit. Connection holes are provided on both sides of the upper end of the base, and screws are screwed into the connection holes to fix the five-position terminal block inside the electrical control box.

[0006] Preferably, the outer end of the reinforcing block is recessed inward to form an arc surface, and the connecting hole is correspondingly disposed on the side of the arc surface and extends close to the arc surface.

[0007] Preferably, the electrical control box includes an electrical control box body and an electrical control box cover installed on the electrical control box body. The five-position terminal block is fixedly installed on the electrical control box body. A connecting plate is provided on one side of the electrical control box body, and the connecting plate is provided with a plurality of fixing holes for fixing and cooperating with the fan coil unit.

[0008] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the electrical control box body are provided with flanges, and the flanges are provided with limiting holes. The upper and lower ends of the electrical control box cover are provided with mating plates that abut against the inner side of the flanges, and the mating plates are provided with limiting protrusions that mate with the limiting holes.

[0012] A static pressure variable fan coil unit, characterized in that it includes a wiring terminal mounting structure as described in any one of the above-mentioned methods.

[0013] The present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The main principle of this solution is to install the wiring terminals inside the electrical control box and change the four-position wiring terminal to a five-position wiring terminal, adding a fan speed setting with ultra-high, high, medium, low, and neutral wire terminals. In the customer's home, depending on the ceiling type, they can choose whether high static pressure is required. If 30Pa static pressure is needed, the highest setting is connected to the other end of the ultra-high speed interface of the five-position terminal, and the other three wires are connected to the other ends of the medium, low, and neutral wire interfaces respectively. If no high static pressure is required, the highest setting is connected to the other end of the high speed interface of the five-position terminal, and the other three wires are connected to the other ends of the medium, low, and neutral wire interfaces respectively. Finally, the electrical control box is mounted on the fan coil unit through the mounting holes, thus achieving adjustable static pressure for the fan coil unit. This solution replaces the unit's three-speed AC motor with a four-speed motor. The process route of this unit is consistent with the traditional three-speed unit, with a simple structure. Combining the 12Pa and 30Pa units reduces product models, simplifies company management, significantly reduces replacement and maintenance costs, and provides customers with greater flexibility.

Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 2-8The diagram illustrates a terminal block installation structure, including an electrical control box and terminal blocks installed within the control box. The terminal blocks are five-position terminal blocks 1, each comprising a base 2. Reinforcing blocks 3 are formed on both sides of the upper end of the base 2. Multiple partition blocks 4 are spaced apart between the reinforcing blocks 3. Connection ports 5 are formed between the reinforcing blocks 3, partition blocks 4, and adjacent partition blocks 4. These connection ports 5 include at least a high-wind connection port, a high-wind connection port, a medium-wind connection port, a low-wind connection port, and a neutral connection port. The medium-wind and low-wind connection ports are connected to the two live wires of the fan coil unit. The neutral connection port is connected to one neutral wire of the fan coil unit. One of the high-wind and high-wind connection ports is selected to connect to one live wire of the fan coil unit. Connection holes 6 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the base 2.

If 30Pa static pressure is required, the highest setting is connected to the other end of the ultra-high wind interface of the five-position terminal, and the other three wires are connected to the other ends of the medium wind, low wind, and neutral wire interfaces, respectively. If there is no high static pressure requirement, the highest setting is connected to the other end of the high wind interface of the five-position terminal, and the other three wires are connected to the other ends of the medium wind, low wind, and neutral wire interfaces, respectively. This solution has a simple structure, can combine 12Pa and 30Pa units, reduce product models, reduce management difficulty, greatly reduce replacement and maintenance costs, and provide customers with greater flexibility.

[0036] Furthermore, the outer end of the reinforcing block 3 is recessed inward to form an arc surface 7, and the connecting hole 6 is correspondingly disposed on the side of the arc surface 7 and extends close to the arc surface 7.

[0037] Furthermore, the electrical control box includes an electrical control box body 8 and an electrical control box cover 9 mounted on the electrical control box body 8. The five-position terminal block 1 is fixedly mounted on the electrical control box body 8. A connecting plate 10 is provided on one side of the electrical control box body 8, and the connecting plate 10 has several fixing holes 11 for fixedly engaging with the fan coil unit 100. In this technical solution, the electrical control box body is fixedly connected to the fan coil unit through the connecting holes on the connecting plate. It should be noted that in this case, other internal components of the electrical control box body are omitted, and only the terminal blocks are shown.

The upper and lower ends of the electrical control box cover 9 are provided with mating plates 14 that abut against the inner side of the flanges 12, and the mating plates 14 are provided with limiting protrusions 15 that cooperate with the limiting holes 13. In this technical solution, the cooperation of the limiting holes and limiting protrusions can prevent the electrical control box body from wobbling left and right, and improve the assembly stability of the two.

[0039] Furthermore, the flange 12 and the mating plate 14 are respectively provided with screw holes 16. In this technical solution, screws are screwed into the screw holes to further fix the electrical control box body and the electrical control box cover, thereby improving stability.

[0040] Furthermore, the upper mating plate 14 is provided with several fan wire through holes 17. In this technical solution, the fan wire through holes are used to allow multiple fan wires in the fan coil unit to pass through and connect to the terminal blocks.
