[0002] With the emergence of new economies, new industries, and new demands, as well as the continuous development of industrial modernization, air conditioning has been widely used. Currently, most industrial or commercial air-cooled chiller (heat pump) units are generally installed on the top floor. The noise emitted by the air conditioning system during operation can affect the surrounding environment, especially when the area of ​​use is near residential areas, which can have a significant impact on people's lives. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a unit structure that combines aesthetics and noise reduction in order to solve the above problems.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A unit structure that combines aesthetics and noise reduction includes a support mechanism for installation and support, a water pan guard plate assembly and a coil side guard plate assembly for auxiliary noise reduction of the compressor. The coil assembly is installed on the top inner side of the support mechanism, and the water pan guard plate assembly is disposed between the bottom of the coil assembly and the support mechanism. The water pan guard plate assembly has inlet and outlet water side guard plate assemblies installed on both sides of the lower end of the water pan guard plate assembly, and the coil side guard plate assembly is installed on the front and rear end faces of the lower end of the water pan guard plate assembly.

[0006] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a welded base assembly, columns, a short middle beam, and a long middle beam. The welded base assembly is located at the bottom and has a rectangular structure. The columns are vertically installed at the four corners of the welded base assembly. The short middle beam is located at the upper end of the inlet / outlet side guard plate assembly and connects the front and rear columns. The long middle beam is located at the upper end of the coil side guard plate assembly and connects the columns on both sides laterally. There are two coil side guard plate assemblies at the front and rear ends, and a lower middle column is provided between the two coil side guard plate assemblies.

[0007] Preferably, the short middle beam and the long middle beam are both fixedly connected to the column by screws, the column is fixedly connected to the welding base assembly by screws, and the lower middle column is fixedly connected to the welding base assembly and the long middle beam by screws.

[0008] Preferably, the water tray guard plate assembly is connected to the short middle beam, the long middle beam, and the coil assembly by screws. The water tray guard plate assembly includes a water tray guard plate, water tray guard plate sound-absorbing cotton, and water tray guard plate support sheet metal. The water tray guard plate has a flat plate structure. The water tray guard plate support sheet metal is located at the center of the end face of the water tray guard plate. The water tray guard plate sound-absorbing cotton is laid flat on the end face of the water tray guard plate.

[0009] Preferably, the coil side guard plate assembly is connected to the welding base assembly, the column, the long central beam, and the lower central column by screws. The coil side guard plate assembly includes a coil side guard plate, and the concave surface of the coil side guard plate is connected with coil side guard plate sound-absorbing cotton.

[0010] Preferably, the sound-absorbing cotton on the coil side guard plate and the sound-absorbing cotton on the water tray guard plate both have a corrugated, uneven shape.

[0011] Preferably, the structure of the inlet / outlet side guard plate assembly is the same as that of the coil side guard plate assembly. The inlet / outlet side guard plate assembly has through holes for installing inlet / outlet pipes. An electrical box assembly is provided on one side of the inlet / outlet side guard plate assembly. The electrical box assembly is fastened to the welding base assembly, the short middle beam, and the column by screw connection.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects are as follows:

[0013] When the equipment is working, the air conditioning compressor and fan will make a lot of noise. The sheet metal insulation of the water pan guard plate assembly, the coil side guard plate assembly, the inlet and outlet water side guard plate assembly, and the electrical box, as well as the setting of sound-absorbing cotton, allow the compressor noise to be gradually absorbed by the relatively enclosed sound-absorbing cotton during the transmission process. At the same time, it is gradually weakened by the reflection of the corrugated concave and convex shape of the sound-absorbing cotton, which can reduce the generation of noise and achieve the aesthetic and noise reduction effects of the modular air-cooled chiller unit.

[0023] In this embodiment, the support mechanism includes a welded base assembly 1, a column 2, a short middle beam 3, and a long middle beam 4. The welded base assembly 1 is located at the bottom and has a rectangular structure. The column 2 is vertically installed at the four corners of the welded base assembly 1. The short middle beam 3 is located at the upper end of the inlet / outlet side guard plate assembly 10 and connects the front and rear columns 2. The long middle beam 4 is located at the upper end of the coil side guard plate assembly 9 and connects the columns 2 on both sides laterally. There are two coil side guard plate assemblies 9 at the front and rear ends, and a lower middle column 8 is provided between the two coil side guard plate assemblies 9.

[0024] In this embodiment, the short middle beam 3 and the long middle beam 4 are both fixedly connected to the column 2 by screws, the column 2 is fixedly connected to the welding base assembly 1 by screws, and the lower middle column 8 is fixedly connected to the welding base assembly 1 and the long middle beam 4 by screws.

[0025] In this embodiment, the water tray guard plate assembly 6 is connected to the short middle beam 3, the long middle beam 4, and the coil assembly 5 by screws. The water tray guard plate assembly 6 includes a water tray guard plate 61, a water tray guard plate sound-absorbing cotton 62, and a water tray guard plate support sheet metal 63. The water tray guard plate 61 is a flat plate structure. The water tray guard plate support sheet metal 63 is located at the center of the end face of the water tray guard plate 61. The water tray guard plate sound-absorbing cotton 62 is laid flat on the end face of the water tray guard plate 61.

[0026] In this embodiment, the coil side guard plate assembly 9 is connected to the welding base assembly 1, column 2, long middle beam 4, and lower middle column 8 by screws.

The water pan guard assembly 6, coil side guard assembly 9, and inlet / outlet water side guard assembly 10 are installed at the bottom of the compressor. After the compressor starts and generates noise and vibration inside the coil assembly 5, the vibration is initially absorbed and filtered by the water pan guard assembly 6. The vibration is then eliminated and filtered by the sound-absorbing cotton 62 on the water pan guard assembly. At this point, the sound-absorbing cotton 62 eliminates the transverse waves of the vibration. As the vibration continues to propagate downwards, it passes through the sound-absorbing cotton 92 on the coil side guard assembly 9 and the inlet / outlet water side guard assembly 10, thus eliminating the longitudinal waves of the vibration. This eliminates the vibration source of the noise. Furthermore, the wavy, textured cotton reflects the vibration waves, resulting in secondary elimination and improved noise source vibration treatment.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
