Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a water module and heat pump air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, integrated heat pump air conditioners have a relatively compact internal space layout. The water module, as a large component, requires frequent disassembly and maintenance. However, existing water module mounting systems typically only have a base plate for fixing the plate. When the mounting plate is too high, its overall strength is insufficient, necessitating an increase in the base plate's thickness, thus raising material costs. Furthermore, the water pump is encased and fixed beneath the plate heat exchanger; disassembling the pump requires first removing the plate heat exchanger, making pump disassembly and maintenance impossible. Additionally, the connection between the plate heat exchanger and the mounting plate is prone to misalignment due to the displacement of the insulation material, making installation cumbersome.

The water module is easy and firm to assemble. The plate heat exchanger wrapped with cotton is easy and without deviation when fixed to the fixed bracket. The strength after installation is high, and the water pump can be disassembled and maintained separately.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this utility model provides a water module, including a fixed bracket, a plate heat exchanger, a water pump, and a buffer rubber; the fixed bracket includes a positioning mounting part, on which the plate heat exchanger is detachably mounted; connecting side plates extend from the lower ends of the positioning mounting part, and the water pump is detachably disposed between the two connecting side plates and connected to the plate heat exchanger; the buffer rubber engages with the two connecting side plates and is located below the water pump; a fixed mounting plate is provided on the outer side of the positioning mounting part, and the fixed mounting plate is used to fix it in the housing of an air conditioner.

[0029] In related technologies, integrated heat pump air conditioners have a relatively compact internal space layout. The water module, as a large component, requires frequent disassembly and maintenance. However, existing water module fixing sheets are generally only secured by a base plate. When the fixing sheet is too high, its overall strength is insufficient, necessitating an increase in the base plate thickness, thus raising material costs. Furthermore, the water pump is encased and fixed below the plate heat exchanger; disassembling the pump requires first disassembling the plate heat exchanger, making it impossible to disassemble and repair the pump independently. Additionally, the connection between the plate heat exchanger and the fixing sheet is prone to misalignment due to the displacement of the insulation cotton, making installation cumbersome.

[0030] Therefore, this utility model embodiment provides a water module and a heat pump air conditioner. According to the water module and heat pump air conditioner of this utility model embodiment, the water module is easy and firm to assemble, the cotton-wrapped plate heat exchanger is easy and without deviation when fixed to the fixed bracket, the strength after installation is high, and the water pump can be disassembled and maintained separately.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 8; In the first aspect of the embodiment of the present utility model, a water module is provided, which includes a fixed bracket 10, a plate heat exchanger 20, a water pump 30, and a buffer rubber 40; the fixed bracket 10 includes a positioning and mounting portion 11, and the plate heat exchanger 20 is detachably mounted on the positioning and mounting portion 11; two connecting side plates 15 extend respectively from both sides of the lower end of the positioning and mounting portion 11, the water pump 30 is detachably arranged between the two connecting side plates 15, and the water pump 30 is connected to the plate heat exchanger 20; the buffer rubber 40 is engaged and clamped with the two connecting side plates 15, and the buffer rubber 40 is located below the water pump 30; a fixed mounting plate 14 is arranged on the outer side of the positioning and mounting portion 11, and the fixed mounting plate 14 is used for being fixed in the housing of an air conditioner.

[0032] Specifically, the fixed bracket 10 of the embodiment of the present utility model is in a "U" shape, the positioning and mounting portion 11 is a frame structure with one side open, the inside of the frame structure is used for accommodating the plate heat exchanger 20, and a positioning through hole 12 is arranged on the side of the frame structure far away from its opening, a positioning screw 22 is arranged on the plate heat exchanger 20, the positioning screw 22 passes through the positioning through hole 12 and extends out of the outside of the frame structure, and a fixing nut 13 is screwed on the positioning screw 22. In addition, heat insulation cotton 21 is pasted on the periphery and both sides of the plate heat exchanger 20 of the embodiment of the present utility model, and a flow switch 24 is arranged on the water outlet pipe of the plate heat exchanger 20. In this way, when the plate heat exchanger 20 and the fixed bracket 10 are assembled, first, after pasting the heat insulation cotton 21 on the two sides and the periphery of the plate heat exchanger 20 respectively, the plate heat exchanger 20 is placed in the positioning and mounting portion 11 of the fixed bracket 10, and after the positioning screw 22 of the plate heat exchanger 20 passes through the positioning through hole 12 of the frame structure, it is locked on the fixed bracket 10 through the fixing nut 13, thereby realizing the positioning assembly between the plate heat exchanger 20 and the fixed bracket 10, making the connection between the two simple and fast; then the flow switch 24 is installed on the plate heat exchanger 20.

[0033] Among them, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the number of the positioning through holes 12 on the frame structure can be designed to be two or more, and correspondingly, the number of the positioning screws 22 on the plate heat exchanger 20 is also adapted to the number of the positioning through holes 12, so as to make the connection between the plate heat exchanger 20 and the fixed bracket 10 more firm.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the plate heat exchanger 20 is provided with a plate heat exchanger connector 23, and the water pump 30 is provided with a first connector and a second connector on both sides respectively. The first connector is connected to the plate heat exchanger connector 23, and the second connector is connected to a water pipe connector 31. Thus, after the plate heat exchanger 20 is installed on the fixed bracket 10, the water pump 30 is placed between the two connecting side plates 15, and the first connector of the water pump 30 is connected to the plate heat exchanger connector 23 of the plate heat exchanger 20, and the second connector of the water pump 30 is connected to the water pipe connector 31; thereby completing the connection between the water pump 30 and the plate heat exchanger 20.

Each of the two connecting side plates 15 is provided with a locking hole 16, and each side of the buffer rubber 40 is provided with an elastic buckle 41, which engages with the locking holes 16. Thus, when the water pump 30 is connected to the plate heat exchanger 20, the buffer rubber 40 is inserted from below and upwards into the two connecting side plates 15, securing it in place. The top of the buffer rubber 40 supports the bottom of the water pump 30, thereby completing the overall assembly of the water module.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the mounting plate 14 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes. Furthermore, the bottom of each of the two connecting side plates 15 extends outwards with folded edges 17. These folded edges 17 have through holes for pins to pass through, and are used to abut against the housing of the air conditioner. Thus, when the water module assembly of this embodiment is assembled with the air conditioner, the folded edges 17 at the bottom of the two connecting side plates 15 abut against the housing of the air conditioner, and the through holes of the folded edges 17 are positioned and inserted into the pins of the air conditioner housing. The mounting plate 14 is then fixed to the housing of the air conditioner with screws, resulting in a strong and secure connection between the assembled water module assembly and the air conditioner housing.

[0037] Therefore, according to the water module of this utility model embodiment, after the heat insulation cotton 21 is attached to both sides and around the plate heat exchanger 20, the plate heat exchanger 20 is placed in the positioning and mounting part 11 of the fixed bracket 10, and the positioning screw 22 of the plate heat exchanger 20 passes through the positioning through hole 12 of the frame structure and is locked to the fixed bracket 10 by the fixing nut 13, thereby realizing the positioning and assembly between the plate heat exchanger 20 and the fixed bracket 10, making the connection between the two simple and quick; then the flow switch 24 is installed on the plate heat exchanger 20, the water pump 30 is placed between the two connecting side plates 15, and the first connector of the water pump 30 is connected to the plate heat exchanger connector 23 of the plate heat exchanger 20, and the second connector of the water pump 30 is connected to the water pipe connector 31, and then the buffer rubber 4 is... The water pump 30 is inserted from below and upwards from the two connecting side plates 15, so that the buffer rubber 40 is engaged with the two connecting side plates 15. The top of the buffer rubber 40 supports the bottom of the water pump 30, thus completing the overall assembly of the water module. Finally, the fixing bracket 10 is installed on the air conditioner housing. Specifically, the folded edges 17 at the bottom of the two connecting side plates 15 abut against the air conditioner housing, and the insertion holes of the folded edges 17 are engaged with the pins of the air conditioner housing. Then, the fixing mounting plate 14 is fixed to the air conditioner housing with screws, so that the connection between the entire water module and the air conditioner housing is firm and has high strength. In addition, when it is necessary to disassemble the water pump 30, simply loosen the first and second connectors of the water pump 30, and the water pump 30 can be removed separately for repair or replacement.

[0038] A second aspect of this utility model provides a heat pump air conditioner, which includes the water module assembly described in any of the above embodiments. According to this utility model, the connection between the water module assembly and the air conditioner housing is firm and has high strength; furthermore, when it is necessary to disassemble the water pump 30, only the first and second connectors of the water pump 30 need to be loosened to remove the water pump 30 separately for repair or replacement.

[0039] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the water module and heat pump air conditioner of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
