Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning unit, specifically a frameless sheet metal edge-sealed air conditioning unit structure. Background Technology
[0002] Air handling units are an important component of air conditioning systems, primarily used to regulate indoor temperature and air circulation to ensure indoor environmental comfort. They receive fresh or return air from the air conditioning system, process it through filtration, heating, cooling, humidification, and dehumidification, and then evenly distribute the processed air into the room, providing stable and comfortable air conditions for the indoor environment.
[0003] In existing technologies, the enclosure structure is usually composed of multiple panels. Directly tightening screws may result in uneven tightening force, making it prone to loosening during use. At the same time, the interlocking design between the panels often lacks effective sealing measures, making the enclosure susceptible to water seepage, air leakage, or corrosion from the external environment, thereby affecting the overall structural strength and service life of the enclosure.
[0004] In summary, this utility model provides a frameless sheet metal edge-sealed air conditioning unit structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A frameless sheet metal edge-wrapped air conditioning unit structure, wherein the unit panel includes an outer panel and an inner panel, the outer panel and the inner panel are interlocked, the unit panel forms a unit body, and the unit body is surrounded by angle steel to form a unit body frame.
[0007] Furthermore, in this utility model, screw holes are provided on the surfaces of both the box panel and the angle steel for locking, and embedded parts are provided inside the box panel corresponding to the screw holes.
[0008] Furthermore, in this utility model, a sealing strip is provided at the locking and pressing joint between the outer plate and the inner plate.
[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the box panels are connected to form a box body, and gap grooves are left in the splicing gaps around its interior.
[0010] Furthermore, in this invention, the joints of the angle steel are provided with corner protectors.
[0011] Beneficial effects: This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This utility model uses box panels to assemble the box body, with angle steel forming the frame to fix the box panels. When the box panels are tightened with screws, the internal embedded parts ensure that the screws can be tightened arbitrarily without loosening. Sealing strips are set at the interlocking and pressing points of the outer and inner panels to make the box body more airtight. After the box panels are connected to form the box body, the gap grooves on the inside are used for applying glue. After the box body is installed, there are angle steel at all splicing points. The screw holes on the angle steel adopt a recessed stamping design, so that the screws are all recessed and do not protrude from the box body, making the appearance more beautiful. The corner wrapping set at the four corners after splicing hides the appearance gaps, making it more aesthetically pleasing. This not only improves the appearance quality of the box body, but also avoids the risk of scratches or damage caused by exposed screws. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Various aspects of this utility model are described in this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate numerous illustrative embodiments. The embodiments of this disclosure are not necessarily defined to include all aspects of this utility model. It should be understood that the various concepts and embodiments described above, as well as those described in more detail below, can be implemented in any of many ways, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed in this utility model are not limited to any particular implementation. Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a frameless sheet metal edge-wrapped air conditioning unit structure. The unit panel 1 includes an outer panel 101 and an inner panel 102. The outer panel 101 and the inner panel 102 are interlocked. The unit panel 1 forms the unit body, and the unit body is surrounded by angle steel 2 to form the unit body frame.
[0024] Both the box panel 1 and the angle steel 2 have screw holes for locking. The box panel 1 has an embedded part 3 inside corresponding to the screw hole, and the embedded part 3 has screw holes for locking.
[0025] A sealing strip 4 is provided at the locking and pressing joint between the outer panel 101 and the inner panel 102.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, multiple panels 1 are used to form the cabinet, and angle steel 2 at the splicing points form a frame to fix the panels 1. This frameless design with the strength of a frame simplifies the structure and improves the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the cabinet, effectively preventing the cabinet from deforming or being damaged by external forces during use. When the panels 1 are tightened with screws, the internal embedded parts 3 allow for arbitrary screw tightening without loosening. The sealing strips 4 set at the interlocking and pressing points of the outer panel 101 and the inner panel 102 make the cabinet more airtight, effectively preventing external impurities such as air, moisture and dust from entering the cabinet, ensuring the cleanliness and working efficiency of the air conditioning unit. At the same time, this sealing design also improves the heat preservation performance of the cabinet and reduces energy loss. The screw holes on the angle steel 2 adopt a recessed stamping design, so that all the screws are recessed and do not protrude from the cabinet, making the appearance more beautiful.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] Reference Figure 3 , 6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0029] In this embodiment, the box panels 1 are connected to form the box body, and gap grooves are left in the splicing gaps around its interior.
[0030] Angle steel 2 has a corner protector 5 at the splice, and the corner protector 5 has screw holes corresponding to angle steel 2.
[0031] like Figure 3 , 6As shown, after the box panels 1 are connected to form the box body, the gap grooves around its interior are used for applying glue. This design not only facilitates the selection of glue according to actual needs during application, but also allows the box body to have a certain amount of expansion and contraction space when the environment changes such as thermal expansion and contraction, thereby avoiding deformation or cracking of the box body due to stress concentration. After the box body is installed, corner protectors 5 are set at the four corners after splicing to hide the appearance gaps. This not only hides the splicing gaps and improves the overall aesthetics of the box body, but also effectively protects the angle steel splicing points from collisions or wear, extending the service life of the box body. The corner protectors 5 can be made of metal or non-metal materials.
[0032] In use, multiple box panels 1 are used to form the box body. Angle steel 2 at the splicing points forms the frame to fix the box panels 1. When the box panels 1 are tightened with screws, the internal embedded parts 3 allow for arbitrary screw tightening without loosening. The gap grooves around the inside are used for applying glue. After splicing, the four corners are fitted with metal or non-metal corner protectors 5 with screws to hide the appearance gaps. The screw holes on the angle steel 2 and corner protectors 5 adopt a recessed stamping design, so that all the screws are recessed and do not protrude from the box body, making the appearance more beautiful. After the box panels 1 are connected to form the box body.
