[0024] Example 1
[0025] Regarding the problem 1 that needs to be solved above: the existing protective devices of the condensing unit cannot effectively resist external impacts, which makes the internal condensing unit easily damaged.
[0026] The solution is as follows: A protective structure for the outdoor unit of a condensing chiller includes a device body 1. The device body 1 includes a base 2, an outdoor unit 3, a protective frame 4, a protective fence 5, a protective top cover 6, and a protective canopy 7. The outdoor unit 3 and the protective frame 4 are both installed on top of the base 2. The protective frame 4 is arranged in a set and is symmetrically distributed. The protective fence 5 is installed on the protective frame 4. The protective top cover 6 is installed on top of the set of protective frames 4. The protective canopy 7 is installed on top of the protective top cover 6. The protective frame 4 includes a first support frame 8, a second support frame 9, and a connecting arm 10. The first support frame 8, the second support frame 9, and the connecting arm 10 are smoothly transitioned and integrally formed. The first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 are symmetrically distributed laterally. The connecting arm 10 is located on the first support frame 8. Between the support frame 8 and the second support frame 9, both the first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 have an arc-shaped structure. The first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 are provided with mounting feet 11 at the top and bottom. The mounting feet 11 are provided with fitting pads 12. The mounting feet 11 have locking holes 13 on their surfaces. The first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 are provided with a set of symmetrically distributed mounting holes 14 on their surfaces. In use, the mounting feet 11 at the bottom of the first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 are attached to the base 2, while the mounting feet 11 at the top of the first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 are attached to the protective top cover 6, thereby connecting the outer frame 4. The entire protective outer frame 4 has an I-shaped structure, which provides strong support and impact resistance. After being subjected to external impact, it can effectively protect the external unit 3.
[0027] The protective fence 5 includes a first connecting piece 15, a second connecting piece 16, and a protective net 17. The first connecting piece 15 and the second connecting piece 16 are distributed in a horizontally symmetrical manner. The protective net 17 is installed between the first connecting piece 15 and the second connecting piece 16. Both the first connecting piece 15 and the second connecting piece 16 have an arc-shaped structure. The surfaces of the first connecting piece 15 and the second connecting piece 16 are provided with a set of symmetrically distributed mounting holes 14. When installing the protective fence 5, the first connecting piece 15 is attached to the first support frame 8, and the second connecting piece 16 is attached to the second support frame 9. Then, screws are inserted into the mounting holes 14 to install the protective fence 5 on the protective outer frame 4.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Regarding the second problem to be solved above: the existing waterproof canopy of the condensing unit cannot effectively achieve the purpose of drainage, which makes it easy for rainwater to seep in and affect the safety of the condensing unit.
[0030] The solution is as follows: The protective rain shelter 7 includes a heat-insulating canopy 18, a waterproof and UV-protective canopy 19, and connecting columns 20. The protective rain shelter 7 is located at the bottom of the waterproof and UV-protective canopy 19. The heat-insulating canopy 18 and the waterproof and UV-protective canopy 19 are connected by the connecting columns 20. Both the heat-insulating canopy 18 and the waterproof and UV-protective canopy 19 have triangular structures. Drainage boards 21 are provided at both ends of the waterproof and UV-protective canopy 19, and water-blocking plates 22 are provided at the outer ends of the drainage boards 21. A water-guiding plate 23 is provided on the outer side of the top of the waterproof and UV-protective canopy 19. For drainage, rainwater falls into the waterproof and UV-protective canopy 19 inside the protective rain shelter 7, and then flows into the drainage boards 21 on both sides, and is then discharged through the drainage boards 21. The water-guiding plate 23 can guide the water to the drainage boards 21. Through the heat-insulating canopy 18 at the bottom, rainwater leakage can be effectively prevented, and heat insulation can also be achieved.
[0031] Working principle: During operation, the mounting feet 11 at the bottom of the first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 are attached to the base 2, while the mounting feet 11 at the top of the first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 are attached to the protective top cover 6, thereby connecting the outer frame 4. The entire protective outer frame 4 has an I-shaped structure, which provides strong support and impact resistance. After being subjected to external impact, it can effectively protect the external unit 3. When installing the protective fence 5, the first connecting piece 15 is attached to the first support frame 8, and the second connecting piece 16 is attached to the second support frame 9. Then, screws are inserted into the mounting holes 14 to install the protective fence 5 on the protective outer frame 4.
