Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceiling machine technology, specifically to a water pump assembly and a ceiling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ceiling-mounted air conditioners (also known as ceiling units or ceiling-mounted air conditioners) are a type of embedded air conditioning unit that is usually installed inside the ceiling. They regulate the temperature of the space through a four-way or one-way air outlet design.

[0003] When the ceiling-mounted air conditioner is working, the air undergoes heat exchange near the heat exchange tubes and condenses to form liquid water. Therefore, a condensate tray is installed below the heat exchange tubes of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner to collect the condensate. In addition, the ceiling-mounted air conditioner is also equipped with a water level switch and a water pump. The water level switch is used to detect the water level in the condensate tray and can control the water pump through an electrical signal to extract and discharge the condensate from the condensate tray, thereby preventing the ceiling-mounted air conditioner from leaking due to excessive condensate in the condensate tray.

[0004] However, there are two ways to install the water pump in existing ceiling-mounted air conditioners. One way is to install it between the outer casing of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner and the heat exchange pipe, and above the water tray. This makes it very cumbersome and time-consuming to disassemble and replace the water pump later. The other way is to install the water pump outside the casing of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner. Although the water pump is easier to disassemble in this way, the external water pump not only affects the appearance of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner, but also increases the overall size of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner, making the installation space required by the ceiling-mounted air conditioner larger. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water pump assembly and ceiling machine to solve the problem of technical defects in the disassembly and assembly of the water pump of the ceiling machine in the existing technology.

[0014] Preferably, one of the installation sections has a drainage hole at its upper part, and the drainage nozzle freely passes through the drainage hole. The drainage nozzle is fixedly connected to the corresponding installation section through a fixing plate fixedly sleeved on it. The fixing plate is located on the side of the installation section near the sinking platform.

[0015] Preferably, each of the mounting sections has a buckle fixedly installed on the upper part of the side near the fixing frame.

[0016] Preferably, a wire-passing hole is provided at the bottom of one of the mounting sections, and a number of pipe-passing grooves are provided at vertical intervals on the side wall of the mounting section away from the other mounting section.

[0017] Preferably, the side wall of the settling platform away from the water pump body is fully covered with flocking.

[0018] Preferably, the sidewalls of the fixing frame are provided with reinforcing ribs along their circumference and at their top.

[0019] This utility model also provides a ceiling machine, including the aforementioned water pump assembly.

[0020] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be partly apparent from the following description, and partly understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of this invention. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives and functions of this utility model clearer and easier to understand, the utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a water pump assembly, including: a water pump body 4; and an installation mechanism, which includes a vertically arranged mounting plate 1 and a fixing frame 2 horizontally fixedly installed in the middle of the mounting plate 1. A drain nozzle 5 is horizontally provided through the upper part of the mounting plate 1, the water pump body 4 is fixedly installed in the lower part of the fixing frame 2, and the drain nozzle 5 is connected to the water outlet end of the water pump body 4 through a drain hose 51.

[0029] The water pump body 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 2. Then, the drain hose 51 is connected between the drain nozzle 5 and the water outlet end of the water pump body 4. Then, the mounting plate 1 is connected to the ceiling machine. The operation is simple and convenient. By connecting the mounting plate 1 to the ceiling machine, the direct connection between the water pump body 4 and the ceiling machine is avoided. This solves the problem that the water pump body 4 is inconvenient to disassemble when installed inside the ceiling machine. At the same time, it also solves the problem that the water pump body 4 is not aesthetically pleasing and increases the installation space when installed outside the ceiling machine.

[0030] like Figure 1-2As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment of the water pump assembly, the portion of the mounting plate 1 located below the fixing frame 2 protrudes away from the water pump body 4 to form a recessed platform 3, so as to provide installation space for the water pump body 4. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the recessed platform 3 is arc-shaped, but not limited to an arc shape, as long as the shape of the cross-section of the recessed platform 3 can provide installation space for the water pump body 4; and a handle plate 31 is fixedly installed on the edge of the platform 3 along its circumference, and a plurality of water passage holes 32 are spaced apart on the handle plate 31 along its length direction. The platform arrangement near the recessed platform 3 includes a handle plate 31, which makes it easy for operators to grab and operate when assembling and disassembling the entire mounting plate 1 from the ceiling machine. The water passage hole 32 allows the condensed dew collected on the recessed platform 3 to be discharged in a timely manner. The side wall of the recessed platform 3 away from the water pump body 4 is fully covered with flocking 33. The flocking 33 can absorb the dew drained from the water passage hole 32. Since the total amount of condensed dew collected on the recessed platform 3 is very small, it will not produce a large amount of water accumulation. Therefore, the amount of water drained from the water passage hole 32 will also be very small. Thus, the flocking 33 can completely absorb this dew.

[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the water pump assembly includes a mounting plate 1 comprising two fixedly connected mounting sections arranged at an obtuse angle, a recessed platform 3 located within the included angle of the two mounting sections, and a fixing frame 2 and a recessed platform 3 both located at the connection point of the two mounting sections.

[0032] One of the installation sections has a drainage hole 12 at its upper part, and the drainage nozzle 5 freely passes through the drainage hole 12. The drainage nozzle 5 is fixedly connected to the corresponding installation section by screws through a fixing plate 52 fixedly sleeved on it. The fixing plate 52 is located on the side of the installation section close to the sink plate 3.

[0033] Each of the aforementioned installation sections has a clip 11 fixedly installed on the upper part of the side near the fixing frame 2.

[0034] One of the installation sections has a wire hole 13 at its bottom, and several pipe grooves 14 are spaced vertically on the side wall of the installation section away from the other installation section.

[0035] like Figure 1-2 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, in the water pump assembly, the side wall of the fixing frame 2 is provided with reinforcing ribs 21 along its circumference and its upper part; this can improve the strength of the fixing frame 2 and ensure the stability of the water pump body 4 during installation.

[0036] like Figure 3-5As shown, this utility model also provides a ceiling-mounted machine, including the aforementioned water pump assembly and a housing 6. When installing the water pump assembly, the water pump body 4 is placed inside the housing 6, and the water outlet end of the drain nozzle 5 is located outside the housing 6. Then, the buckles 11 on the two mounting sections are engaged with the two locking holes on the housing 6 one by one. At the same time, several through-holes 14 are assembled with the corresponding positions of the housing 6 to form several through-holes. Finally, the two mounting sections of the mounting plate 1 are fixed to the housing 6 with screws, thereby completing the installation of the water pump assembly.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, the water pump body 4 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the fixing frame 2, and then the drain nozzle 5 is freely inserted through the drain hole 12, so that the fixing plate 52 abuts against the corresponding installation section, and the fixing plate 52 is fixed to the installation section by screws. Then, the drain nozzle 5 is connected to the water outlet end of the water pump through the drain hose 51, thus completing the overall assembly of the water pump assembly. When installing the water pump assembly, the water pump body 4 is placed inside the housing 6 of the ceiling machine, and the water outlet end of the drain nozzle 5 is located outside the housing 6. Then, the buckles 11 on the two installation sections are matched one-to-one with the two buckle holes on the housing 6, and at the same time, the several through-holes 14 are assembled with the corresponding positions of the housing 6 to form several through-holes. Finally, the two installation sections of the mounting plate 1 are fixed to the housing 6 by screws, thus completing the installation of the water pump assembly.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
