Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning units, and more specifically, to a splicing structure for foamed panels, an air conditioning unit, and an air conditioning housing. Background Technology
[0002] A modular air handling unit is an air handling device assembled from various air handling functional sections, suitable for air conditioning systems with a resistance greater than 100Pa. The air handling unit's housing is assembled from foam panels; when one side of the housing is large, it is formed by splicing two or more foam panels together.
[0003] The existing splicing method usually involves splicing two adjacent panels to form a concave trapezoidal gap at the splicing point. This gap needs to be covered with connecting profiles, reinforcing supports, insulation materials, connecting cover plates, and fasteners to form the panel splicing structure.
[0004] This panel splicing structure requires a variety of materials, a large quantity of materials, and has high material costs. Its complex structure makes production and assembly difficult, the process intricate, and labor costs high. This panel splicing structure requires inserting a connecting profile at the joint of two adjacent foam panels to connect them. Then, reinforcing supports are installed on the connecting profile and fixed to both the connecting profile and the foam panel profile with screws. A layer of insulation material is then placed over the reinforcing supports, and a connecting cover plate with the added insulation material is placed on top and fixed to the foam panel with screws, thus completing the splicing of the two panels.
[0005] If one side of the air conditioner casing is formed by three or more foam panels, the splicing process between two foam panels must be repeated. This splicing process is complex, consumes a lot of production time, and has high labor costs. Furthermore, the splicing structure consists of layers of connecting profiles, reinforcing supports, insulation materials, and connecting cover plates, creating multiple sealing surfaces. Each sealing surface affects the sealing performance, making it prone to failure and leading to air leakage and cold air leakage in the air conditioner casing.
[0006] In summary, how to reduce the complexity of the splicing structure of foamed panels while improving the sealing performance at the splicing points is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0038] Another core aspect of this utility model is to provide an air conditioning unit, including the aforementioned air conditioning housing.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 .
[0040] The splicing structure for foamed panels provided by this utility model includes two panel frames 11 respectively disposed on two adjacent foamed panels 1 and attached to each other, a cavity 12 is formed between the two panel frames 11, a panel connector 2 is inserted into the cavity 12, and a fixing structure 3 is provided between the panel connector 2 and the two panel frames 11 to make the panel connector 2 and the two panel frames 11 tightly connected.
[0041] Specifically, two panel frames 11 are fitted together and formed with a cavity 12. Each panel frame 11 has a concave structure for forming the cavity 12. First, one side of the panel connector 2 is inserted into the concave structure of one of the panel frames 11, and then the other panel frame 11 is installed on the other side of the panel connector 2. The two panel frames 11 and the panel connector 2 are fixed by the fixing structure 3, thereby forming the splicing structure for foamed panels provided in this application. This splicing structure for foamed panels is convenient to produce, has a simple production process, reduces production time, and effectively reduces labor costs. It should be noted that since the two adjacent panel frames 11 are fitted together except for the cavity 12, the sealing surface generated by this splicing structure is only one point, thus achieving effective sealing and good overall sealing performance, effectively preventing air leakage and cold leakage from the air conditioning unit.
[0042] The aforementioned foamed panel splicing structure uses two interlocking panel frames 11 to form a cavity 12. Panel connectors 2 are inserted into the cavity 12 and secured by a fixing structure 3, thus forming the foamed panel splicing structure. This foamed panel splicing structure is convenient to produce, has a simple manufacturing process, reduces production time, effectively lowers labor costs, and after splicing, only one sealing surface is formed, providing effective sealing and good overall sealing performance, effectively preventing air leakage and cold air leakage from the air conditioning unit.
[0043] The splicing structure for foamed panels provided by this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0044] In one specific implementation, reference is made to... Figures 2 to 4 Each panel frame 11 includes a first contact edge 111, a second contact edge 113, and a groove edge 112 connecting the first contact edge 111 and the second contact edge 113. Two adjacent first contact edges 111 and two adjacent second contact edges 113 are tightly fitted together, and two adjacent groove edges 112 are connected and formed into a cavity 12.
[0045] It should be noted that the panel frame 11 is spliced from an outer metal profile and an inner plastic profile. The first contact edge 111 and the groove edge 112 are outer metal profiles, and the second contact edge 113 is an inner plastic profile.
[0046] Specifically, the panel frame 11 is spliced together from an outer metal profile and an inner plastic profile to form a concave structure and thus form a cavity 12. The outer metal profile includes, but is not limited to, aluminum profiles, and the inner plastic profile includes, but is not limited to, PVC. In the production process, the amount of aluminum profiles and PVC materials used is small, which can effectively reduce material costs.
[0047] Based on any of the above embodiments, a sealant layer is applied between the panel connector 2 and the inner wall of the cavity 12 that it fits with.
[0048] Specifically, during the installation of the panel connector 2, one side of the panel connector 2 is first inserted into the concave structure of one of the panel frame 11. A sealant layer can be applied between the panel connector 2 and the panel frame 11 (or other structures that can achieve sealing and fixing can be used) to further seal and fix the panel connector 2. Then, the other panel frame 11 is installed on the other side of the panel connector 2, and the two panel frames 11 and the panel connector 2 are fixed by the fixing structure 3, which further improves the stability during the splicing process.
[0049] Based on any of the above embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The panel connector 2 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and each corner of the panel connector 2 is chamfered.
[0050] Specifically, designing the cross-sectional shape of panel connector 2 as a chamfered rectangle facilitates production and installation. During production, one side of panel connector 2 is inserted into the recessed groove of one panel frame 11 and fixed. Then, the recessed groove of another panel frame 11 is installed on the other side of panel connector 2. This panel connector profile is easy to install and convenient for production. It is foreseeable that, to further improve the ease of production and installation, the cross-sectional shape of panel connector 2 may include, but is not limited to, a chamfered rectangle.
[0051] In a specific embodiment provided in this application, the fixing structure 3 includes a fixing bolt 31 that passes through the chamber 12, and the fixing bolt 31 passes through the panel connector 2 and is threadedly connected to the panel connector 2.
[0052] Specifically, the fixing bolts 31 can be self-tapping screws, which are sequentially inserted into the panel frame 11, the cavity 12, and the panel connector 2 to fix the panel frame 11 and the panel connector 2. The fixing screws 31 are located on the inner side of the foam panel 1 to ensure the aesthetic smoothness of the air conditioner housing exterior. In other embodiments, the fixing bolts 31 can be other fasteners, similar to a snap-fit structure with a locking block or slot, to fix the panel frame 11 and the panel connector 2.
[0053] Furthermore, a limit slot is provided on the side of the panel frame 11 near the chamber 12, and the fixing bolt 31 is inserted into the limit slot.
[0054] Specifically, the fixing bolt 31 is inserted into the limiting slot to prevent the fixing bolt 31 from loosening on the panel frame 11, thereby further improving the stability of the splicing structure after splicing.
[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 .
[0056] The air conditioner housing provided by this utility model is composed of a first panel 4 and a second panel 5 spliced together on two adjacent sides. The second panel 5 is composed of multiple foam panels 1 spliced together, and the splicing structure between two adjacent foam panels 1 is the splicing structure for foam panels described above.
[0057] Specifically, both the first panel 4 and the second panel 5 are six-sided foam panels. At least one side of the air conditioner housing is made up of two or more foam panels, namely the second panel 5 mentioned above. The first panel 4 is the short side of the air conditioner housing, which is composed of one foam panel. It should also be noted that in some air conditioner housings, all four sides may be long sides, so they must all be made up of two or more foam panels.
[0058] The aforementioned air conditioning unit adopts the splicing structure of the aforementioned foamed panels, which makes production and operation convenient, the production process simple, reduces production time, effectively reduces labor costs, and has good overall sealing performance, effectively preventing air leakage, cold leakage and other phenomena.
[0059] Based on any of the above embodiments, the overlapping surface between adjacent first panel 4 and second panel 5 is a slope 6, and a sealing strip is provided between the slope of the first panel 4 and the slope of the second panel 5.
[0060] Specifically, the overlapping surface between adjacent first panel 4 and second panel 5 is a bevel 6, minimizing the gap between them. A sealing strip is also provided on the bevel 6 of the first panel 4 and second panel 5; this sealing strip includes, but is not limited to, sealing strips made of EPDM and PVC (both commonly used sealing materials). As the adjacent first panel 4 and second panel 5 are spliced and fixed, the sealing strip on the overlapping surface of the adjacent panels is forcibly compressed, achieving a sealing effect. To further optimize the above technical solution, multiple sharp corners are provided on the bevel 6, forming a sawtooth-like interlocking structure. This better compresses the sealing strip, achieving multi-line sealing and providing excellent sealing performance.
[0061] This utility model also provides an air conditioning unit, which is equipped with the air conditioning box provided in any of the above specific embodiments, thereby having the advantages of convenient production operation, simple production process, reduced production time, effective reduction of labor costs, and good overall sealing performance, effectively preventing air leakage, cold leakage and other phenomena.
[0062] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0063] The splicing structure for foamed panels, the air conditioning unit, and the air conditioning unit provided by this utility model have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
