Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a sliding panel roller support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, floor-standing air conditioners with rectangular air outlets whose vertical dimensions are much larger than their horizontal dimensions, and which feature fully enclosed damper panels that rotate and open inside the unit, are popular with consumers due to their clean appearance and ability to completely seal the air outlet when the unit is off. For this type of product, the stability of the damper panel's movement after long-term use and its consistent fit after shutdown are particularly important. In these air conditioners, the damper panel is made of plastic and is only connected to the rest of the unit's support structure at both ends via cantilever arms. When the unit is placed vertically in use, the upper cantilever arm provides the main support. Without other auxiliary support, the upper cantilever arm is prone to deformation, causing the entire panel to sag, resulting in poor damper panel fit, or even preventing it from opening properly due to severe sagging.

[0003] Generally, using rollers to support the upper part of the damper panel provides good support. Currently, the main method for assembling and fixing rollers involves designing a separate, high-strength bracket component with an open end. The roller is placed on the mounting shaft, then assembled into the mating structure of the damper panel, and finally the bracket is fixed to the damper structure. The damper panel's mounting structure blocks the open end of the mounting shaft on the bracket, preventing the roller from falling off during storage, transportation, and use. However, this method is prone to roller detachment before the bracket and roller assembly is fixed to the damper panel, which can affect the assembly process. If multiple rollers are used, the assembly difficulty increases further. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1-8 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a sliding panel roller support structure is proposed, including a damper panel 1 and a damper body. The damper panel 1 is provided with a plurality of roller assemblies that slide in cooperation with the damper body. The roller assembly includes a mounting groove structure provided in the damper panel 1. A support is snapped into the mounting groove structure, and a roller 3 is rotatably connected in the support. The support includes a U-shaped plate 2. The roller 3 is rotatably disposed inside the U-shaped plate 2, and the outer wall of the roller 3 extends beyond the open end of the U-shaped plate 2. The mounting groove structure includes a rectangular through hole 9 opened in the damper panel 1. The size of the rectangular through hole 9 is adapted to the cross-sectional size of the U-shaped plate 2. The four edges of the rectangular through hole 9 are provided with limiting walls 11 perpendicular to the damper panel 1. The outer wall of the U-shaped plate 2 slides in cooperation with the limiting walls 11. The outer wall of the U-shaped plate 2 is provided with a limiting component for fixing the U-shaped plate 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, there are 3 sets of roller assemblies, and the 3 sets are arranged circumferentially at intervals along the rotation center of the damper panel 1 to ensure the support function of the damper panel 1.

[0029] First, it should be stated that by setting multiple roller assemblies on the damper panel 1, the connection and support stability of the damper panel 1 is improved. The U-shaped plate 2 is stably inserted into the rectangular through hole 9, and the U-shaped plate 2 is positioned and fixed by the limiting wall 11 and the limiting assembly. The installation is convenient and the structure is highly stable. The roller 3 is rotatably set in the U-shaped plate 2, which improves the stability of the roller 3 installation structure and provides a protective effect for the roller 3.

[0030] Specifically, the U-shaped plate 2 is made of an elastic material, and the limiting component includes two sets of locking blocks disposed on the outer wall edges of both sides of the U-shaped plate 2. Each of the two open ends of the U-shaped plate 2 is provided with a limiting plate 4. A clamping gap 6 is provided between the locking block and the limiting plate 4 on the same side. The damper panel 1 on the periphery of the rectangular through hole 9 is clamped in the clamping gap 6. During installation, the U-shaped plate 2 is squeezed to make it penetrate into the rectangular through hole 9. When the clamping gap 6 corresponds to the position of the damper panel 1 on the periphery of the rectangular through hole 9, the applied force on the U-shaped plate 2 is released, so that the clamping gap 6 is stably engaged with the damper panel 1 on the periphery of the rectangular through hole 9. At this time, the limiting wall 11 stably achieves limiting contact with the outer wall of the U-shaped plate, thereby improving stability.

[0031] The set of clamping blocks on the same side of the U-shaped plate 2 includes two opposing limiting blocks 5. The gap between the two limiting blocks 5 on the same side is the same as the length of the limiting wall 11. The outer wall of the U-shaped plate 2 between the two limiting blocks 5 on the same side slides into the limiting wall 11. That is, the two limiting blocks 5 on both sides of the limiting wall 11 and at corresponding positions are in limiting contact, ensuring that the U-shaped plate 2 will not arbitrarily shift in horizontal position. Together with the clamping gap 6 and the clamping and fixing structure of the damper panel 1, the U-shaped plate 2 is stably limited in all directions, ensuring the stability after installation.

[0032] To further facilitate the installation of the U-shaped plate 2, the aforementioned locking block is provided with an inclined surface 10 for abutting against the aforementioned damper panel 1. During installation, there is no need to apply a deformation force to the U-shaped plate 2. The U-shaped plate 2 is directly pushed into the rectangular through hole 9. As the damper panel 1 and the inclined surface 10 on the periphery of the rectangular through hole 9 gradually abut against each other, the U-shaped plate 2 deforms. After the damper panel 1 has completely slid past the position of the damper panel 1, the damper panel 1 is directly locked into the clamping gap 6. The U-shaped plate 2 loses the abutting force and returns to its original shape, achieving a stable locking structure. Moreover, when disassembly is required, a force is applied to the U-shaped plate 2, causing the abutting block to move inward and pass through the rectangular through hole 9, thereby realizing the removal and disassembly of the U-shaped plate 2.

[0033] The roller 3 is provided with a circular hole 8 coaxially at its center. The inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped plate 2 are provided with cylindrical protrusions 7 that slide in cooperation with the circular hole 8. When the roller 3 is installed, the U-shaped plate 2 is deformed by external force, and the internal size of the U-shaped plate 2 increases, so that the roller 3 can be inserted into the U-shaped plate 2. This allows the cylindrical protrusions 7 to stably cooperate with the circular hole 8, realizing a stable rotational installation structure for the roller 3. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0034] In summary, this utility model proposes a sliding panel roller support structure, including a damper panel 1 and a damper body. The damper panel 1 is provided with a plurality of roller assemblies that slide in cooperation with the damper body. Each roller assembly includes a mounting groove structure disposed in the damper panel 1, a support is snapped into the mounting groove structure, and a roller 3 is rotatably connected in the support. The outer wall of the roller 3 abuts against the damper panel 1. The support includes a U-shaped plate 2, and the roller 3 is rotatably disposed inside the U-shaped plate 2, with the outer wall of the roller 3 extending beyond the plate. The U-shaped plate 2 has an open end; the mounting groove structure includes a rectangular through hole 9 in the damper panel 1, the size of which is adapted to the cross-sectional size of the U-shaped plate 2. The four edges of the rectangular through hole 9 are provided with limiting walls 11 perpendicular to the damper panel 1. The outer wall of the U-shaped plate 2 slides against the limiting walls 11. The outer wall of the U-shaped plate 2 is provided with limiting components for fixing the U-shaped plate 2. The roller 3 mounting structure proposed in this invention is small in size, can be installed in a small space, and has a low unit cost. Each roller assembly consists of one roller 3 and one support. There are no special requirements for the distance between the roller assembly and the damper rotation center. The specific position and number of roller assemblies mounted on the damper are only limited by the space available at the corresponding position on the damper, and the number can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. The two side walls of the open end of the U-shaped plate 2 of the roller assembly are basically the same width as the rectangular through hole 9 on the damper panel 1, which can prevent the roller 3 support from springing open and causing the roller 3 to shake or fall off.
