Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of air conditioner production and warehousing, and in particular to a lightweight air conditioner outdoor unit chassis buffer rack. Background Technology

[0002] The outdoor unit of an air conditioner is an important component of the air conditioning system, primarily responsible for heat dissipation and compressor operation. During the production process of the outdoor unit, it is necessary to move the manufactured units.

[0003] With the rapid development of the air conditioning industry, the demand for the production and transportation of air conditioner outdoor unit casings is increasing. Traditional transportation and storage methods often involve simple stacking or the use of ordinary shelves. These methods are prone to collisions and bumps between sheet metal parts during transportation, affecting product quality and appearance. Transporting the air conditioner outdoor unit casings one by one would reduce both transportation and production efficiency.

[0004] Currently, the industry has limited protective measures for sheet metal parts, and there is an urgent need for a technical means to effectively reduce damage to sheet metal parts during transportation and storage. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the transportation efficiency of air conditioner outdoor unit enclosures and reduce the possibility of damage during transportation, this application provides a lightweight air conditioner outdoor unit enclosure buffer rack.

[0006] The lightweight air conditioner outdoor unit chassis buffer rack provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A lightweight air conditioner outdoor unit chassis buffer rack includes a placement rack and a support rack. The placement rack includes a placement base frame and a support vertical frame. The placement base frame is horizontally arranged, and the support vertical frame is vertically arranged on the top surface of the placement base frame. Several support racks are arranged parallel to each other on opposite sides of the support vertical frame. Each support rack includes several parallel support rods, one end of which is connected to the support vertical frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, before transporting the unit enclosures, each enclosure is placed on several support frames. After the enclosures are placed, the entire placement frame is moved, enabling the joint transport of multiple enclosures. Through the cooperation of the placement frames and support frames, multiple air conditioner outdoor unit enclosures can be transported in a single trip, which improves the transportation efficiency of air conditioner outdoor unit enclosures and reduces the possibility of damage during transportation.

[0009] Optionally, the support frame is inclined, and the height of the side of the support frame connected to the support column is lower than the height of the side of the support frame away from the support column.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the side of the support frame away from the supporting vertical frame extends upward at an angle. When the chassis is placed on the support frame, one side of the chassis abuts against the supporting vertical frame, reducing the possibility of the chassis falling off the support frame during transportation.

[0011] Optionally, the support frame is provided with a limiting component, which includes a limiting block and an elastic element. A receiving groove is formed on the top surface of the support rod at the end away from the supporting vertical frame. One end of the limiting block is slidably disposed in the receiving groove. The elastic element is disposed in the receiving groove and is connected to both the inner bottom wall of the receiving groove and the limiting block. In its natural state, one end of the limiting block extends out of the receiving groove under the action of the elastic element.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when placing the chassis on the support frame, the limiting block is pressed down, and the chassis is placed on the support frame. Under the action of the elastic element, the limiting block pops out of the receiving groove, thereby limiting one side of the chassis and further reducing the possibility of the chassis falling off the support frame during transportation.

[0013] Optionally, the support rod has a horizontally extending through-hole along its width, the length direction of the through-hole is perpendicular to the length direction of the support rod, the through-hole is connected to the receiving groove, the support frame is provided with a connecting rod, the connecting rod passes through several of the support rods through several of the through-holes, the connecting rod is simultaneously connected to several of the limiting blocks, the connecting rod is slidably connected to the through-hole, the top of the limiting block on the side away from the support frame is provided with a pushing slope, and the cross-section of the limiting block decreases from bottom to top.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rod connects several limiting blocks on the same support frame through a connecting opening. When the chassis needs to be removed, pressing down on the connecting rod causes the limiting blocks to retract into the receiving slot under the action of the connecting rod. The design of the pushing ramp ensures that the pushing ramp of the limiting blocks can contact the chassis when the chassis is placed, and move into the receiving slot as the chassis is pushed, facilitating the placement of the chassis.

[0015] Optionally, a cushioning pad is provided on the top surface of the support rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the buffer pad reduces the possibility of damage to the chassis surface during placement and transportation.

[0017] Optionally, the supporting frame includes supporting sleeve rods, supporting slide rods, and supporting cross rods. Several pairs of supporting sleeve rods are arranged vertically and parallel to each other. A supporting cross rod is horizontally connected between each pair of supporting sleeve rods. One side of the support frame is arranged corresponding to the supporting cross rod. The bottom pair of supporting sleeve rods is connected to the placement base frame. A supporting slide rod is arranged between each pair of adjacent supporting sleeve rods in the vertical direction. The two ends of the supporting slide rod are slidably connected to the two adjacent supporting sleeve rods. A locking element for fixing the supporting slide rod is provided on the supporting sleeve rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the spacing between two adjacent support frames can be adjusted by adjusting the relative positions of the support sleeve rod and the support slide rod, which facilitates the placement and transportation of chassis of different thicknesses by the buffer rack.

[0019] Optionally, the limiting assembly further includes a sliding rod and a side baffle. A sliding hole is provided on one side of the support sleeve rod, and the position of the sliding hole corresponds to that of the support crossbar. One end of the sliding rod is connected to the side baffle. The sliding rod is slidably disposed in the sliding hole. An adjusting component for adjusting the position of the sliding rod is provided in the support crossbar.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the side baffles are set on both sides opposite to each other in the width direction of the supporting frame, protecting both ends of the chassis and further reducing the possibility of the chassis falling off the support frame. The position of the sliding rod can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment mechanism, allowing the side baffles to be adapted to chassis of different lengths.

[0021] Optionally, a number of self-locking casters are provided on the bottom surface of the base frame.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the self-locking casters facilitate the movement and transportation of the buffer rack.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. By using the placement rack and support rack in combination, multiple air conditioner outdoor unit boxes can be transported in a single trip, which improves the transportation efficiency of air conditioner outdoor unit boxes and reduces the possibility of damage during transportation.

[0025] 2. The setting of the limit components reduces the possibility of the chassis falling off the support frame during transportation;

[0026] 3. The self-locking casters facilitate the movement and transportation of the buffer rack. Attached Figure Description

The supporting crossbars 23 are hollow. The two lowest supporting sleeve rods 21 are connected to the base frame 1. A supporting slide rod 22 is slidably arranged between each pair of adjacent supporting sleeve rods 21. Each end of the supporting sleeve rod 21 has an adjusting oblong hole 211 along its length, and each end of the supporting slide rod 22 has a connecting screw 24. The two connecting screws 24 on the same supporting slide rod 22 correspond one-to-one with the adjusting oblong holes 211 on two adjacent supporting sleeve rods 21 and are slidably connected. One end of the connecting screw 24 extends out of the supporting sleeve rod 21, and the end of the connecting screw 24 is threadedly connected to a locking bolt 25 for locking the supporting sleeve rod 21.

[0036] Reference Figure 3-5 A plurality of support brackets on the supporting vertical frame 2 are correspondingly arranged with a plurality of supporting horizontal bars 23. The support brackets include a plurality of parallel supporting rods 4, one end of which is connected to the supporting horizontal bar 23, and the other end extends upward at an angle. A buffer pad 6 is provided on the top surface of the supporting rod 4. A limiting component 5 is provided on the support bracket. The limiting component 5 includes a limiting block 51, an elastic element, a connecting rod 53, a side baffle 54, a sliding rod 55, a rotating block 56, a rotating rod 57, an adjusting screw 58, and an adjusting sleeve 59. A receiving groove 41 is provided on the top surface of the supporting rod 4 away from the supporting vertical frame 2, and the bottom end of the limiting block 51 is slidably disposed in the receiving groove 41. An elastic element is disposed in the receiving groove 41. In this embodiment, the elastic element used is a limiting spring 52. One end of the limiting spring 52 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the receiving groove 41, and the other end is connected to the bottom end of the limiting block 51. In its natural state, the end of the limiting block 51 extends downward out of the receiving groove 41 under the action of the limiting spring 52. A pushing slope 511 is provided on the side of the limiting block 51 that extends out of the receiving groove 41 away from the supporting vertical frame 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A supporting rod 4 has a horizontally penetrating sliding hole 42 along its width direction, which is connected to a receiving groove 41. A connecting rod 53 passes through several supporting rods 4 via the sliding hole 42 and is connected to several limiting blocks 51. The connecting rod 53 is slidably connected to the sliding hole 42. One side of the side baffle 54 is connected to a sliding rod 55. A rotating rod 57 is rotatably disposed within the sliding rod 55 along its length direction. One end of the rotating rod 57 extends out of the side baffle 54 and is connected to a rotating block 56.
