Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building equipment platform technology, specifically a concealed cabinet structure for building air conditioning outdoor units. Background Technology

[0002] Building equipment platforms are dedicated areas on the exterior of buildings for housing equipment, primarily air conditioning units. In existing buildings, to maintain a uniform and aesthetically pleasing exterior, air conditioning unit platforms are often designed as concealed closets. This involves installing louvers in front of the platform to cover the air conditioning units behind it. This prevents the different brands, sizes, and colors of air conditioning units installed by each household from being directly visible from the outside of the building, and avoids situations where some platforms house air conditioning units while others are not, thus achieving a unified look.

[0003] However, while this louvered concealed closet design achieves an aesthetically pleasing effect, it is quite inconvenient for air conditioning use. The louvers are angled downwards, and since both hot air from the air conditioner's outdoor unit and the outdoor environment tend to rise due to their lower density, the downward-sloping louvers increase airflow resistance, hindering ventilation and reducing performance. Furthermore, the increased temperature of the outdoor unit leads to increased workload and energy consumption. Additionally, the existing louvers are made of thin sheet metal with hinged joints, resulting in very low structural strength. In windy weather, they not only generate significant noise but also frequently fall off, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, this design has several shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a concealed cabinet structure for building air conditioner outdoor units, which solves the problems of existing concealed cabinet structures for building air conditioner outdoor units affecting air conditioning performance, increasing energy consumption, and posing safety hazards.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A concealed cabinet structure for building air conditioner outdoor units includes an equipment platform set between an exterior wall and a side wall. The equipment platform is provided with concrete pads for placing and fixing the air conditioner outdoor unit. At the bottom of the equipment platform, corresponding to the position of the air conditioner outdoor unit below, an arc-shaped air guide pipe with a horizontal front end and a downward curved rear end is fixed.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a concealed cabinet structure for building air conditioner outdoor units, including an equipment platform 3 set between the outer wall 1 and the side wall 2, and concrete pads 5 for placing and fixing air conditioner outdoor units 4 are provided on the equipment platform 3. The concrete pads 5 are arranged horizontally, and each equipment platform 3 has two concrete pads 5 arranged symmetrically front and back.

[0026] A concrete water-retaining slope 10 is poured between the upper surface of the equipment platform 3 and the outer wall 1. An L-shaped drainage pipe 11 is also installed under the equipment platform 3. The drainage pipe 11 is installed longitudinally, and the vertical part of the rear end of the drainage pipe 11 is embedded in the equipment platform 3, while the front end of the horizontal part extends to the front of the louvered fence 7.

[0027] At the bottom of the equipment platform 3, corresponding to the position of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4 below, there is a curved air guide duct 6 with a horizontal front end and a downward curved rear end. A louvered grille 7 is also installed on the equipment platform 3 at the position of the curved air guide duct 6 and the front of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4. The front end of the curved air guide duct 6 is close to the back of the louvered grille 7 and the rear end is located on the back of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4.

[0028] The louvered fence 7 includes two symmetrically arranged vertical outer frame plates 701. Horizontal louvered plates 702 are fixed at equal intervals along the vertical direction between the two outer frame plates 701. A vertical fixing plate 703 is fixed between the top of the louvered plate 702 and the outer frame plate 701. The outer frame plate 701, louvered plate 702 and fixing plate 703 of the louvered fence 7 are all steel plates and are welded into a fixed structure. The distance between the top of the louvered fence 7 and the lower surface of the equipment platform 3 is greater than the depth of the slot formed by the card plate 9 and the embedded plate 8.

[0029] An embedded plate 8 is pre-embedded on the equipment platform 3, running vertically through the back of the outer frame plate 701. An L-shaped card plate 9 is fixed on the front of the embedded plate 8, which is in contact with the upper surface of the equipment platform 3. The lower end of the louvered fence 7 is movably engaged in the slot formed by the card plate 9 and the embedded plate 8. The upper end of the louvered fence 7 is fixed to the embedded plate 8 and the fixing plate 703 by bolts and nuts.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] To remove the louvered grille 7, disassemble the bolts and nuts between the fixing plate 703 and the embedded plate 8, and move it upwards to separate it from the slot formed by the clamping plate 9 and the embedded plate 8. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4. To install the louvered grille 7, insert its lower part into the slot formed by the clamping plate 9 and the embedded plate 8, and lock it in place using the bolts and nuts between the fixing plate 703 and the embedded plate 8. The outer frame plate 701, louvered plate 702, and fixing plate 703 of the louvered grille 7 are all made of steel plates and welded into a single fixed structure. They are fixed and installed using bolts and nuts. The structure itself has high strength, is firmly installed, and is not easy to fall off. The horizontally set louvered plate 702 of the louvered grille 7 facilitates the air outlet of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4, and the arc-shaped air guide duct 6 facilitates the air inlet of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4. It also increases the distance between the air inlet and outlet positions, reduces mutual interference, improves the air inlet and outlet effect of the air conditioner outdoor unit 4, facilitates ventilation and heat dissipation, improves the air conditioning working effect, and reduces energy consumption.

[0032] The outdoor unit 4 of the air conditioner is designed to be rainproof when it leaves the factory. Rainwater falling from between the horizontal louvers 702 onto the outdoor unit 4 will not affect its normal operation. Moreover, the horizontal louvers 702 can block the view of the indoor outdoor unit 4 from the height of similar floors, and can also achieve the same concealment effect from the upward and downward tilt angle of normal pedestrians.
