Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner accessories technology, specifically to an easy-to-install air conditioner indoor and outdoor unit electrical control box. Background Technology

[0002] The air conditioning control box is a key component of the air conditioning system. It is responsible for controlling the operation of the air conditioner and regulating the temperature. Its working principle is to sense the air temperature through a temperature sensor and transmit the temperature information to the control unit. The built-in control algorithm calculates the cooling and heating capacity that needs to be adjusted based on the sensed temperature and the user's target temperature. The control unit controls the working status of key equipment such as the air conditioner compressor, fan, and valves, and adjusts the refrigerant flow and air volume to achieve the set temperature.

[0003] Air conditioner control boxes typically have self-diagnostic capabilities, shutting down the unit and reporting relevant fault codes in various ways when a malfunction occurs. When a fault occurs, technicians remove the control box for troubleshooting and repair. However, in practical applications, to improve the structural strength of internal air conditioner components, the control box is usually mounted on the rear panel using a complex structure requiring multiple bolts. This complicates the disassembly and reassembly for fault repair, thus indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve the aforementioned technical problem that the electrical control box is usually installed on the rear panel through a complex structure, which brings inconvenience to the fault repair of the electrical control box. It provides an easy-to-install electrical control box for air conditioning indoor and outdoor units.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: an easy-to-install air conditioner indoor and outdoor unit electrical control box, including a base, side plates, and a frame; the side plates are provided in two sets, symmetrically fixedly installed on the front and back of the frame; the side plates are all heat dissipation plates, and the sides of the side plates that are far apart from each other are provided with heat dissipation fins.

[0006] An installation structure is provided between the frame and the base. The installation structure includes a rectangular frame on the base. The rectangular frame has fixing ears on its front side and near both ends. Each fixing ear has a through hole, and a slide rod is slidably installed in each through hole. Each slide rod has a lever at one end opposite to the other. Each slide rod has an extension arm at one end away from the other. Each extension arm has a spring between it and the fixing ear, located outside the slide rod. Each side of the extension arm has a limiting plate. Each side of the rectangular frame has a slot 1 that can accommodate the limiting plate. Each side of the frame has a slot 2 that corresponds to slot 1.

[0007] Furthermore, the longitudinal section of the frame is an inverted U-shape.

[0008] Furthermore, a wire groove is provided on one side of the frame, and several arc-shaped grooves are provided at the upper and lower ends of the wire groove, and a wire is moved within the arc-shaped groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the base is provided with a number of heat dissipation holes; the base is provided with a number of assembly holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the opposing sides of the toggle blocks are provided with anti-slip textures; the rear side of each toggle block is provided with a limiting slider, and the front of the rectangular frame is provided with a limiting groove that can slide and connect with the limiting slider.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0012] The integrated electrical control box is divided into three parts. The base can be installed with the rear panel and other internal air conditioning components by bolts, while the base is connected to other components by plug-in connection. This allows for quick disassembly when a fault occurs and disassembly and repair are required, without the need to remove multiple bolts.

[0013] Since the base itself does not need to be disassembled, the electrical control box removed during maintenance does not have a base, directly exposing the internal circuit boards and other components, which makes troubleshooting and maintenance work easier.

[0014] The side panel is designed as a heat-conducting plate and is equipped with heat dissipation fins to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electrical control box during operation and reduce the possibility of malfunctions due to high temperature. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1 An easy-to-install air conditioner indoor and outdoor unit electrical control box includes a base 1, a side plate 2, and a frame 3; the integrated electrical control box is disassembled into three parts, so that the base 1 becomes part of the installation structure, reducing the number of parts and the overall volume, and also allowing the internal components of the electrical control box to be directly exposed after disassembly, without the need for further disassembly of the outer shell.

[0022] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 2 The base 1 has several heat dissipation holes 8 to facilitate heat dissipation of internal components; the base 1 also has several mounting holes 9 to facilitate the fixed installation of the base 1.

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 4 The longitudinal section of frame 3 is inverted U-shaped; there are two sets of side plates 2, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on the front and back of frame 3; all side plates 2 are heat dissipation plates, and heat dissipation fins 4 are provided on the sides of side plates 2 that are far apart from each other; to improve the overall heat dissipation capacity of the electrical control box and reduce the possibility of failure due to high temperature.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , 4 The frame 3 has a wire groove 5 on one side. The upper and lower ends of the wire groove 5 are provided with several arc-shaped grooves 6. The wire 7 is moved in the arc-shaped grooves 6 to provide a path for the wire 7 to pass through. The arc-shaped grooves 6 can limit and separate the wire 7 to prevent them from getting tangled and difficult to distinguish.

[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1-4 An installation structure is provided between the frame 3 and the base 1. The installation structure includes a rectangular frame 10 on the base 1. The rectangular frame 10 has fixing ears 11 on its front and near both ends. Each fixing ear 11 has a through hole 12. Each through hole 12 has a sliding rod 13. Each sliding rod 13 has a lever 14 at one end opposite to the other. Each sliding rod 13 has an extension arm 15 at one end away from the other. Each extension arm 15 has a spring 16 between it and the fixing ear 11 and outside the sliding rod 13. Each side of the extension arm 15 has a limiting plate 17. Each side of the rectangular frame 10 has a slot 18 that can accommodate the limiting plate 17. Each side of the frame 3 has a slot 2 19 that corresponds to the slot 18. When the limiting plate 17 is inserted into the slot 18 and the slot 2 19, the frame 3 is limited and installed.

[0026] The opposing sides of the lever 14 are provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the lever and the hand during sliding, making it less likely to slip off; the rear side of the lever 14 is provided with a limiting slider 20, and the front of the rectangular frame 10 is provided with a limiting groove 21 that can slide and connect with the limiting slider 20, which can limit the lever 14 to move along a fixed route and prevent it from getting stuck.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Under normal use, the limiting plate 17 is located in the corresponding slot 18 and slot 2 19, thereby limiting the frame 3 and fixing it on the base 1. The base 1 is then fixed to the rear panel or other specified installation position. When a malfunction occurs and disassembly and repair are required, push the two levers 14 in the opposite direction, stretch the spring 16, and the extension arm 15 will drive the limiting plate 17 to move in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the restriction on slot 2 19 and allowing the frame 3 to be removed. At this time, the frame 3 is in a state without the base, and internal components can be directly repaired. During installation, repeat the above steps to reinsert the limiting plate 17 into slot 2 19.
