Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of duct air conditioning technology, and in particular to a support structure and the duct air conditioning unit thereof. Background Technology
[0002] Ductless air conditioning units are widely used in commercial buildings, public facilities, and residential areas. They deliver treated air to different areas through duct systems to achieve centralized control of temperature and humidity. Compared with traditional split-type air conditioners, ductless air conditioning units have advantages such as uniform air distribution, space saving, and easy integration with building decoration design, and have occupied an important position in central air conditioning systems in recent years.
[0003] In the assembly of air and liquid pipes for ducted air conditioners, such as Figure 3 As shown, the ports of gas and liquid pipes are generally supported by brackets, and the pipes are tightened by wrenches. However, when the wrench torque is too large, the brackets are easily deformed, which can cause serious deformation of the internal pipelines of the unit, making the unit unable to operate normally. At present, the structural strength of the brackets is improved by increasing the thickness of the bracket plates, but this undoubtedly increases the cost and cannot be widely used. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a support structure and its duct machine, which solves the problem that the support is prone to deformation when the internal pipes of the duct machine are tightened in the existing technology.
[0005] On the one hand, according to the embodiments of this utility model, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A support structure for installing air and liquid tubing includes a support body, with both ends of the support body bent to form a mounting surface and two support surfaces. The mounting surface has two mounting grooves for engaging the air and liquid tubing. Both the mounting surface and the two support surfaces have outwardly protruding support rib grooves, which are arranged along the length of the support body.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0008] In this design, the support rib groove protrudes along the length of the support body to form a three-dimensional reinforcement structure, which changes the original cross-sectional shape of the support body and significantly improves the bending stiffness and torsional resistance of the support. The support rib groove can be directly stamped without increasing the material thickness, achieving both lightweight and high strength, and effectively preventing support deformation caused by excessive wrench torque.
[0009] Preferably, the two sides of the support surface are bent outward to form the first bent edge.
[0010] Preferably, the two sides of the mounting surface are bent inward to form a second bent edge.
[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the second bent edge abut against the inner sides of the two support surfaces respectively.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting groove is provided with a reinforcing wall, which is arranged along the edge of the mounting groove.
[0013] Preferably, the mounting surface has mounting holes for screws to pass through, for connecting air pipes and liquid pipes.
[0014] Preferably, the mounting surface is provided with a support protrusion, which is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole.
[0015] Preferably, the end of the support surface away from the mounting surface is provided with a mounting edge, and the mounting edge is provided with a mounting hole.
[0016] Preferably, the cross-section of the support groove is rectangular.
[0017] On the other hand, according to the embodiments of this utility model, the present utility model also adopts the following technical solutions:

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the traditional support structure is relatively simple. When the air tube 7 or liquid tube 8 installed on the support structure is tightened and adjusted by wrench under thin material, the traditional support structure is prone to twisting and deformation under force. In order to solve this problem, this utility model embodiment proposes a support structure for installing air tube 7 and liquid tube 8, including a support body 1. The two ends of the support body 1 are bent to form a mounting surface 101 and two support surfaces 102. The mounting surface 101 has two mounting grooves 4 for engaging the air tube 7 and liquid tube 8. The mounting surface 101 and the two support surfaces 102 are provided with outwardly protruding support rib grooves 2, which are arranged along the length direction of the support body 1.
[0026] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the original support structure remains unchanged, consisting of a mounting surface 101 parallel to the side of the duct unit and two support surfaces 102 located on either side of the mounting surface 101. The mounting surface 101 faces the air pipe 7 and the liquid pipe 8, with the ends of the air pipe 7 and the liquid pipe 8 installed in the mounting groove 4 of the mounting surface 101. The ends of the support surfaces 102 are then fixedly installed against one side of the duct unit. The support rib groove 2 penetrates the mounting surface 101 and the two support surfaces 102, and is arranged parallel to the side of the support body 1 along its length. The support rib groove 2 can be formed by direct stamping during the processing of the mounting surface 101, and the cross-section of the support rib groove 2 is rectangular, which facilitates stamping processing. The support rib groove 2 forms a three-dimensional reinforced structure for the entire support body 1, changing the original cross-sectional shape of the support body 1 and significantly improving the bending stiffness and torsional resistance of the support body 1. It does not require increasing the material thickness, achieving both lightweight and high strength, and effectively preventing deformation of the support body 1 due to excessive wrench torque.
[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two sides of the support surface 102 are bent outward to form the first bent edge 5. When processing the support surface 102, the two sides of the support surface 102 can be bent, which not only increases the shape stability of the material itself, but also effectively disperses the external force applied to the bracket and reduces the phenomenon of local stress concentration. Similarly, the two sides of the mounting surface 101 are bent inward to form the second bent edge 6. The second bent edge 6 improves the structural rigidity and deformation resistance of the mounting surface 101 itself by bending inward, effectively resists the lateral stress caused by the tightening torque of the wrench, and prevents the mounting surface 101 from bending or twisting when under force. With the cooperation of the first bent edge 5 and the second bent edge 6, the load-bearing capacity of the mounting surface 101 and the support surface 102 can be significantly improved without significantly increasing the amount of material used.
[0028] Moreover, the two ends of the second bent edge 6 abut against the inner sides of the two support surfaces 102 respectively. The second bent edge 6 forms an abutment relationship with the inner sides of the two support surfaces 102 through its two ends, which is equivalent to establishing a structural connection relationship between the mounting surface 101 and the support surface 102. The mounting surface 101 and the support surface 102 can work together when subjected to force, so as to transfer the load on the mounting surface 101 to the two support surfaces 102 more evenly, and avoid deformation or fracture caused by local stress concentration.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting groove 4 is provided with a reinforcing wall 402, which is arranged along the edge of the mounting groove 4. The reinforcing wall 402 can significantly improve the local rigidity of the mounting groove 4 area and can provide additional support structure, increasing the contact area between the gas pipe 7 and the liquid pipe 8, thereby fixing the pipes more firmly.
[0030] Secondly, both the air tube 7 and the liquid tube 8 generally have ear plates. The mounting surface 101 has mounting holes 401 for screws to pass through, used to connect the air tube 7 and the liquid tube 8. Aligning the holes on the ear plates with the mounting holes 401 completes the fixed connection between the air tube 7, the liquid tube 8 and the bracket body 1. The mounting surface 101 is provided with a support protrusion 403, which is coaxially arranged with the mounting holes 401. The support protrusion 403 is also formed by stamping, which effectively strengthens the key stress points and forms a multi-layered, multi-directional reinforced stress system.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support surface 102 has an installation edge 3 at the end away from the mounting surface 101, and the installation edge 3 has an installation hole 301. When fixing the bracket body 1, the installation edge 3 is abutted against the side of the air duct machine, and the screw is inserted through the installation hole 301 to fix it to the air duct machine, which facilitates the initial assembly and the subsequent disassembly and maintenance.
[0032] This utility model embodiment also proposes a duct air conditioner, including the above-mentioned support structure. The specific structure of the support structure is as described in the above embodiment. Since this duct air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
[0033] 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.
