Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heat pump air conditioner accessories, specifically to a temperature sensor fixing clip structure. Background Technology
[0002] The temperature sensor is a crucial component in a heat pump air conditioner. It senses the temperature inside the coils or within the room and transmits the signal to the control center. By processing and controlling the temperature sensor signal, the heat pump system can precisely regulate the indoor temperature, providing a comfortable environment. To secure the temperature sensor, a mounting bracket is typically installed on its side, usually on the evaporator fins. Figure 6 As shown, in the prior art, the fixed bracket includes a bracket body 01 and a receiving part 02 for mounting the temperature sensor. The receiving part 02 is hollowed out. As a result, in extreme weather conditions, the hollowed-out part is prone to frost and ice formation, which affects the accuracy of the temperature sensor. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example
[0029] This embodiment provides a temperature sensor fixing clip structure, including a fixing clip body 1 and a positioning bracket 2 disposed on the side of the fixing clip body 1. The fixing clip body 1 has a receiving cavity 4 for placing a temperature sensor 3 inside. The receiving cavity 4 is surrounded by a wrapping plate 5 to prevent rainwater from entering the receiving cavity 4 and contacting the temperature sensor 3.
[0030] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, compared with the prior art, the fixing clip structure in this embodiment consists of a positioning bracket 2 and a fixing clip body 1. The fixing clip body 1 consists of a receiving cavity 4 and a wrapping plate 5. The wrapping plate 5 can wrap the top and sides of the receiving cavity 4, so that rain and snow will not accumulate on the outside of the temperature sensor 3 in extreme outdoor environments, thereby avoiding affecting the accuracy of the temperature sensor 3 during use.
[0031] Based on the above embodiments: the part of the wrapping plate 5 opposite to the evaporator fins 30 is provided with a plurality of air inlet grooves 6, and the bottom of the wrapping plate 5 is provided with an exhaust groove 7 for discharging the gas entering from the air inlet grooves 6 to the outside.
[0032] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, during the operation of the heat pump air conditioner, gas is discharged from the evaporator fins 30. This gas enters the receiving cavity 4 from the inlet slot and then is discharged outward from the exhaust slot 7. The temperature sensor 3 can accurately sense the real-time temperature through the temperature of the discharged gas, thereby controlling the heat pump air conditioner to adjust the temperature.
[0033] Based on the above embodiments: the wrapping plate 5 includes a top plate 51 disposed on the top of the temperature sensor 3 and a first side plate 52 and a second side plate 53 disposed at both ends of the top plate 51. The top plate 51, the first side plate 52 and the second side plate 53 are arranged to form a "[" shaped structure. The second side plate 53 is located on the side that contacts the evaporator fins 30. The air inlet groove 6 is disposed on the second side plate 53.
[0034] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown, the enclosure plate 5 includes a top plate 51, a first side plate 52, and a second side plate 53 arranged in a "[" shape. The second side plate 53 is opposite to the evaporator fins 30. The airflow inside the heat pump air conditioner is blown out from the evaporator fins 30, passes through the receiving cavity 4, and is then discharged outward from the exhaust slot 7 at the bottom (at this time, the temperature sensor 3 can sense the temperature of the blown air). By opening multiple air inlet slots 6 on the second side plate 53, the temperature sensor 3 can sense the temperature of the airflow blown out from the heat pump air conditioner. The arrangement of the first side plate 52 and the top plate 51 can protect the top and side positions of the temperature sensor 3 from rain and snow erosion.
[0035] Based on the above embodiments: the exhaust groove 7 is located below the temperature sensor 3, and a guide plate 8 is provided on the first side plate 52 facing away from the top plate 51, and the height of the guide plate 8 is ≥1.5mm.
[0036] The specific improvement is as follows: by setting the deflector plate 8, when rain and snow slide down from the top plate 51 and the first side plate 52, they will drip down along the deflector plate 8, thereby preventing rain and snow from accumulating at the exhaust chute 7.
[0037] Based on the above embodiments: a positioning frame 41 for fixing the temperature sensor 3 is provided in the receiving cavity 4.
[0038] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning bracket 41 is used to fix the body of the heat pump air conditioner sheet metal side plate, thereby effectively positioning and fixing the position of the clamping body 1.
[0039] Based on the above embodiments: the top plate 51 is provided with an inclined surface 9 for guiding rainwater to slide down the first side plate 52.
[0040] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, by setting the inclined surface 9 on the first side plate 52, rain and snow on the first side plate 52 can be guided to slide down along the inclined surface 9, thereby avoiding the accumulation of rain and snow on the inclined surface 9.
[0041] Based on the above embodiments: the positioning bracket 2 is provided with a through hole 21 for fastening nails to pass through in order to fix the positioning bracket 2.
[0042] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, in order to effectively fix the positioning bracket 2 and the fixing clamp body 1, a through hole 21 is provided on the positioning bracket 2 for the fastening nail to pass through.
[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
