Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides the following technical solution: a universal air conditioner radiator end plate adaptable to different specifications, including a lower end plate 1, a U-shaped groove 2 formed at the top of the longitudinal end of the lower end plate 1, a plug block 3 inserted into the surface of the U-shaped groove 2, an upper end plate 4 connected to the top surface of the plug block 3, a side block 5 connected to the lower edge surface of the longitudinal end of the upper end plate 4, a screw 6 threadedly connected to the top of a fixing block 7, the surface of the fixing block 7 connected to the surface of the lower end plate 1, and a rubber pad 8 inserted into the inner wall surface of the lower end plate 1, with a horizontal end of the rubber pad 8... A slot 9 is opened on the side surface, and a plug plate 10 is inserted into the surface of the slot 9. The other side surface of the plug plate 10 is connected to the surface of the adjustment plate 11. A spring 12 is connected to the other side surface of the adjustment plate 11. The other side surface of the spring 12 is connected to the fixed plate 13. The bottom of the fixed plate 13 is connected to the transverse end surface of the inner wall of the lower end plate 1. A guide rod 14 is connected to the surface of the fixed plate 13. The surface of the guide rod 14 is movably inserted into the surface of the adjustment plate 11. The inner wall of the rubber pad 8 abuts against the surface of the radiator body 15. The rubber pad 8 is inserted into the inner wall of the upper end plate 4.

[0025] Preferably, the insert 3 has a "U" shaped structure, and the shape and size of the insert 3 are adapted to the U-shaped groove 2.

[0026] In practical use, the insert block 3 is inserted into the U-shaped groove 2 to fix and adjust the connection distance between the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 4.

[0027] Preferably, the side block 5, the screw 6, and the fixing block 7 form a threaded connection structure.

[0028] In practical use, the screw 6 passes through the side block 5 and is threaded onto the fixing block 7, thereby fixing and adjusting the position of the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 4.

[0029] Preferably, a rectangular groove is formed on the inner wall of the rubber pad 8, and the shape and size of the rectangular groove are adapted to the corners of the radiator body 15.

[0030] In practical use, the rubber pads 8 that abut against the four corner surfaces of the radiator body 15 and between the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 4 buffer the connection between the two, avoiding damage to the rigid connection caused by vibration and mutual friction.

[0031] Preferably, the surface of the adjusting plate 11 has two sets of circular through slots that are mirrored, and the shape and size of the circular through slots are adapted to the guide rod 14.

[0032] In practical use, the guide rod 14 is movably inserted into the surface of the adjusting plate 11, thereby guiding and limiting the position of the adjusting plate 11 when it moves elastically on both sides of the fixed plate 13 by the spring 12, so as to prevent it from tilting.

[0033] Preferably, the two sets of insert plates 10, adjusting plates 11, springs 12 and guide rods 14 are located on both sides of the fixed plate 13.

[0034] In actual use, hold the adjusting plates 11 that are movably connected to both sides of the fixed plate 13 with both hands and clamp them in the direction of the fixed plate 13 to close them. Then, insert the insert plate 10 connected to the surface of the adjusting plate 11 into the slot 9, thereby fixing the position of the rubber pad 8 with the insert plate 10.

[0035] Preferably, two sets of rubber pads 8 are mirror-distributed at the upper and lower ends of the radiator body 15.

[0036] In practical use, two sets of rubber pads 8 are fixed on the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 4 respectively, so that the rubber pads 8 abut against the corners of both ends of the surface of the radiator body 15, thereby providing buffer protection for the connection between it and the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 4.

[0037] Working principle: When installing the radiator body 15 on different models of air conditioners, the circular through slot on the surface of the lower end plate 1 facilitates the insertion of the rubber pad 8. Simultaneously, both hands pull the adjusting plates 11, which are movably connected to both sides of the fixing plate 13, clamping them towards the fixing plate 13. This allows the insert plate 10 connected to the surface of the adjusting plate 11 to be inserted into the slot 9, thus fixing the position of the rubber pad 8. After the insert plate 10 is inserted into the slot 9, the hands are released from the adjusting plate 11, allowing it to spring back into the slot 9 via the connected spring 12 and the guide rod 14, thus fixing the position of the rubber pad 8 on the inner wall of the lower end plate 1. The above operation is repeated, using the cooperation of the fixing plate 13 and the adjusting plate 11 on the inner wall of the upper end plate 4 to fix the two sets of rubber pads 8 to the inner wall of the upper end plate 4. Then, the radiator body 15, which needs to be fixed, is inserted into the rubber pad 8 fixed on the inner wall of the lower end plate 1, thus temporarily fixing the radiator. With the radiator body 15 positioned at the top of the lower end plate 1, the upper end plate 4 is removed, and its bottom insert 3 is inserted into the U-shaped groove 2. The insert 3 is then slid downwards within the U-shaped groove 2 until the rubber pad 8 on the inner wall of the upper end plate 4 abuts against the top of the radiator body 15. The screw 6 is then threaded through the side block 5 and connected to the fixing block 7, thus fixing the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 4, which have been adjusted in position. This structure allows for the fixing of radiator bodies 15 of different heights by adjusting the distance between the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 4 during installation. Furthermore, when there are slight differences in the width of the radiator body 15, the elasticity of the rubber pad 8 allows radiator bodies 15 of different widths to be clamped and fixed. Additionally, the rubber pad 8, which abuts against the four corner surfaces of the radiator body 15 and between the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 4, buffers the connection between the two, preventing damage to the rigid connection caused by vibration and mutual friction.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
