[0029] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0030] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the appendix. Figure 1 The orientations or positional relationships shown are for the purpose of facilitating and simplifying the description of this application, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0032] The touchscreen of the multi-unit outdoor unit for refrigerant pumps serves as the equipment's display panel, undertaking core functions such as precise control of system temperature and humidity, real-time detection and intelligent alarm, and comprehensive system monitoring. This ensures that the temperature and humidity in the data center remain stable within a suitable range, thereby achieving efficient and precise control and operation of the air conditioning system.

[0033] Currently available multi-split outdoor unit air conditioners with refrigerant pumps are often designed with touchscreens located on the front of the electrical control box or on other sheet metal parts of the unit, due to the overall layout and installation location of the outdoor unit at the construction site. Furthermore, the touchscreens are not movable.

[0034] On the one hand, touchscreens are usually placed on the front of the main control box and near the lower half of the unit. This means that maintenance personnel need to bend over and squat for long periods of time when performing routine inspections, parameter adjustments, or troubleshooting, which greatly increases their physical burden. Especially when dealing with a large number of outdoor units in a large data center, frequently repeating such actions can easily lead to physical fatigue and reduce work efficiency.

[0035] On the other hand, existing touchscreens are fixed installations and cannot be flexibly moved according to maintenance scenarios. When the outdoor unit is installed in a narrow space, corner, or when there are obstacles around it, maintenance personnel may find it difficult to find a suitable viewing and operating angle. They may not be able to clearly see the information displayed on the screen, and it is inconvenient to operate the touchscreen accurately. Sometimes they may even have to strain to turn to the side or lean out to barely interact with it. There is also a risk of collision and injury if they are not careful, which seriously hinders the smooth progress of maintenance work and has an adverse effect on the timely handling of air conditioning system problems.

[0036] Therefore, this application proposes a door panel assembly that supports touchscreen flip-up adjustment and can be removed to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] On the one hand, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a door panel assembly, which includes a first door panel 1 and a touch module 2.

[0039] The first door panel 1 is provided with a rectangular mounting slot 11 for accommodating the touch module 2.

[0040] The touch module 2 includes a support frame 21, a touch screen 22, and a device board 23; the shape of the support frame 21 is the same as that of the rectangular mounting groove 11, and it is fixedly connected to the rectangular mounting groove 11.

[0041] The support frame 21 includes two support side plates 211 arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction. The top of each of the two support side plates 211 is provided with a rotating pin 2111. The two rotating pins 2111 are coaxial and arranged along the horizontal direction. The touch screen 22 is fixedly connected to the device plate 23. The top of the device plate 23 is provided with two rotating hooks 231. Each rotating hook 231 corresponds to a rotating pin 2111, and the rotating hooks 231 and rotating pins 2111 are movably connected.

[0042] In this embodiment, the touch screen 22 is installed in the rectangular mounting groove 11 of the first door panel 1 via the device plate 23 and the support frame 21. The device plate 23 and the support frame 21 are movably connected by the rotating pin 2111 and the rotating hook 231. The device plate 23 can drive the touch screen 22 to rotate upward around the support frame 21 and the first door panel 1.

[0043] Moreover, since the rotating pin 2111 and the rotating hook 231 are in a simple hanging relationship, the rotating hook 231 can be removed from the rotating pin 2111 when the device plate 23 is lifted. Thus, the device plate 23 and the touch screen 22 can be removed from the support frame 21 and the first door panel 1. This can meet the operator's needs for operating the touch screen 22 under various working conditions and reduce the limitations of the fixed position of the touch screen 22 and the influence of the on-site environment on the operation.

[0044] For example, the rotating hook 231 includes a U-shaped groove with the opening facing outwards.

[0045] In some possible implementations, the door panel assembly includes a head-up control state, a top-down control state, and a separate control state.

[0046] Among them, the head-up control state is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the touch screen 22 is fixedly arranged in the rectangular mounting slot 11, and the touch screen 22 is oriented horizontally, allowing the staff to observe and operate the touch screen 22 from a level view.

[0047] Top-down control mode Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the touch screen 22 is flipped up at this time, and the touch screen 22 is facing diagonally upward, allowing the staff to observe and operate the touch screen 22 from a top-down perspective.

[0048] Separate control state as Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the rotating hook 231 and the rotating pin 2111 disengage, the touch screen 22 separates from the first door panel 1, and the touch screen 22 can be held in the hand of the staff for observation and operation.

[0049] In some possible implementations, there is a reserved gap between the top of the device plate 23 and the top of the support frame 21, which can provide lifting space for the device plate 23 to facilitate the removal of the rotating hook 231 from the rotating pin 2111.

[0050] Combination Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the support frame 21 includes a rectangular frame 213, a limiting skirt 212, and two support side plates 211. The shape of the rectangular frame 213 corresponds to the shape of the rectangular mounting groove 11 and is fitted into it. The limiting skirt 212 is connected to the outer edge of the rectangular frame 213 and abuts against and fits against the first door panel 1 surrounding the rectangular mounting groove 11. The two support side plates 211 are located on the horizontal sides of the rectangular frame 213, and each support side plate 211 is provided with a rotating pin 2111. Exemplarily, the support frame 21 is welded to the first door panel 1.

[0051] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the device plate 23 includes a first handle structure 232 and a second handle structure 233, the first handle structure 232 being located at the bottom of the device plate 23 and the second handle structure 233 being located at the top of the device plate 23.

[0052] With the above arrangement, the first handle structure 232 is located at the bottom of the device plate 23, allowing the operator to easily flip the device plate 23 and its touch screen 22 upwards around the rotating pin 2111 to switch to a top-down control mode. The second handle structure 233 is located at the top of the device plate 23, allowing the operator to easily lift the device plate 23 and its touch screen 22 upwards as a whole, causing the rotating hook 231 to disengage from the rotating pin 2111, thus allowing the touch module to switch to a detached control mode.

[0053] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the device plate 23 is a sheet metal part, and at least one of the rotating hook 231, the first handle structure 232 and the second handle structure 233 is a folded edge structure.

[0054] In this embodiment, the device plate 23 is a sheet metal structural component, which is simple to design and process, lightweight, and easy to install and disassemble.

[0055] For example, the rotating hook 231, the first handle structure 232 and the second handle structure 233 are all folded edge structures, which are integrally formed on the edge of the device plate 23 using a folding edge process.

[0056] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the device plate 23 includes two device side plates 234 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and each of the two device side plates 234 is provided with a non-removable screw 2341.

[0057] The two support side plates 211 are respectively provided with first screw holes 2112, and the first screw holes 2112 and the corresponding captive screws 2341 are threaded together so that the device side plate 234 is fitted and connected to the support side plate 211.

[0058] With the above arrangement, when it is not necessary to flip the touch screen 22 upward or remove it, the two device side plates 234 of the device plate 23 are locked to the two support side plates 211 of the support frame 21 by using the threaded connection between the non-detachable screw 2341 and the first screw hole 2112.

[0059] In some possible implementations, the captive screw 2341 is, literally, a screw that is loose but will not fall out. It is also called a captive screw, spring screw, or non-detachable screw. Exemplarily, the captive screw 2341 is press-fitted or rivetized onto the device side plate 234.

[0060] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the touch module 2 further includes a spiral cable 24, which is located in the rectangular mounting groove 11 and electrically connected to the touch screen 22.

[0061] With the above arrangement, in the separated operation state, the touch screen 22 can be connected by the spiral cable 24, which can support a larger separation distance of the touch screen 22.

[0062] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the door panel assembly further includes a cable storage box 3, which is connected to the inner side of the first door panel 1. The top of the cable storage box 3 is open, and the opening of the cable storage box 3 is connected to the bottom of the rectangular mounting groove 11. The spiral cable 24 is stored in the cable storage box 3.

[0063] With the above arrangement, the spiral cable 24 can be stored in the cable storage box 3, making the appearance of the door panel assembly neater and reducing the risk of cable wear.

[0064] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the door panel assembly further includes a second door panel 4. The second door panel 4 is located on the outer side of the first door panel 1 and is movably connected to the first door panel 1. The second door panel 4 can cover the closing touch module 2.

[0065] With the above arrangement, the second door panel 4 can cover and close the rectangular mounting slot 11, providing external protection for the touch module 2. When touch operation is required on the touch screen 22, the second door panel 4 needs to be opened first, and then closed after the touch operation is completed.

[0066] In some possible implementations, the door panel assembly also includes a non-operational state, in which the second door panel 4 closes the rectangular mounting slot 11, providing external protection for the touch module 2.

[0067] In some possible implementations, the area of ​​the second door panel 4 is larger than the area of ​​the rectangular mounting groove 11, and there is a sealing structure between the outer side of the second door panel 4 and the outer side of the first door panel 1, so as to ensure the sealing effect of the touch module 2 and prevent rainwater and other substances from seeping in.

[0068] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the second door panel 4 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the first door panel 1 on one side along the horizontal direction. The second door panel 4 is provided with a rotating latch 41 on one side along the horizontal direction, and the outer side of the first door panel 1 is provided with a fixed latch 12. The position of the fixed latch 12 corresponds to the position of the rotating latch 41. The rotating latch 41 and the fixed latch 12 are engaged to lock the position of the second door panel 4.

[0069] With the above arrangement, the second door panel 4 can be rotated open or locked in place.

[0070] For example, the rotary lock fastener 41 is rotatably connected to the second door panel 4. The outer side of the second door panel 4 has a specially shaped drive groove. A drive key of the corresponding shape can be inserted into the drive groove to drive the rotary lock fastener 41 to rotate, thereby locking or unlocking the rotary lock fastener 41 and the fixed lock fastener 12.

[0071] For example, the second door panel 4 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the first door panel 1 via a rotating hinge 42. The number of rotating hinges 42 can be one, two, three, etc., and this application does not limit this.

[0072] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner side of the first door panel 1 is provided with a folder 13, which is used to place equipment data so that operators can understand the electrical equipment information in a timely manner.

[0073] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first door panel 1 is provided with a pivot structure 14 on one side along the horizontal direction and a door lock assembly 15 on the other side along the horizontal direction, so that the first door panel 1 can be rotated to open or locked to close.

[0074] The number of rotating shaft structures 14 can be one, two, three, etc., and this application does not limit this.
