[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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] See Figures 1-7To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this utility model provides an air conditioner back cover with reinforcing ribs to solve the aforementioned technical problems. The technical solution is as follows:
[0026] An air conditioner back cover with reinforcing ribs includes: a back cover body 210;
[0027] The back cover body 210 has first mounting holes 240 at its four corners; the inner side of the back cover body 210 has an arc-shaped flip-hole positioning edge 241 around the first mounting holes 240.
[0028] The inner side of the rear cover body 210 is provided with mounting bases on two side positions; the mounting base includes a fixing block 211; and two studs 212 are welded and fixed to the fixing block 211 at intervals.
[0029] The mounting base is equipped with an elastic limiting member 250; the elastic limiting member 250 includes a mounting plate 251 and an elastic sheet 252 integrally formed with the mounting plate 251; the connection angle between the elastic sheet 252 and the mounting plate 251 is an obtuse angle.
[0030] The mounting plate 251 has two second mounting holes spaced apart to mate with the studs 212; the mounting plate 251 is inserted into the studs 212 of the fixing block 211 through the second mounting holes; the studs 212 are connected to nuts 213 to fix the elastic limiting member 250 to the mounting base.
[0031] It should be noted that the processing method of the flip-hole positioning edge 241 can be to weld it directly to the back cover body 210 by welding. A more preferred method is that when the air conditioner back cover 200 is formed by sheet metal process, the back cover body 210 is directly stamped by the punching pin on the stamping die. The material around the flip-hole positioning edge 241 will be pushed out by the punching pin to form a flip edge, i.e., the flip-hole positioning edge.
[0032] The present invention provides a method for installing an air conditioner back cover with reinforcing ribs as follows:
[0033] (1) The operator holds the air conditioner back cover 100 and places it close to the back of the air conditioner housing 100 so that the four corner positioning edges 241 on the back cover body 210 are inserted into the corresponding screw holes on the air conditioner housing 100 to form a preliminary position limit.
[0034] (2) At the same time, during the positioning operation of the operation of the flip hole positioning edge 241, the elastic sheet 252 of the elastic limiting member 250 is bent inward (due to the obtuse angle structure, the bending direction points to the inner wall of the air conditioning box) and inserted into the air conditioning box.
[0035] (3) The elastic sheet 252 generates a restoring force due to elastic deformation, adheres tightly to the inner wall of the box and applies clamping force, "elastically locks" the cover plate to the box, and completes the positioning operation before the air conditioner back cover 100 is assembled.
[0036] (4) Finally, insert and tighten the screw in the first mounting hole 240 to lock the air conditioner back cover 100 onto the air conditioner housing 100.
[0037] In this embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing rib grooves 220 are provided at intervals along the length direction of the back cover body 210 on the outer side of the back cover body 210.
[0038] In this embodiment, a protrusion 230 is provided on the outer side of the back cover body 210 along the length direction of the back cover body 210 between adjacent reinforcing rib grooves 220.
[0039] It should be noted that the air conditioner back cover 100 has a large area and is prone to deformation during installation, which may cause resonance during the operation of the air conditioning unit. Therefore, this utility model provides reinforcing rib grooves 220 and protrusions 230 at intervals on the back cover body 210.
[0040] The addition of reinforcing grooves 220 and convex ribs 230 effectively enhances the structural strength of the air conditioner back cover 100, ensuring that it will not deform during installation and that the unit will not experience resonance during operation.
[0041] In this embodiment, each first mounting hole 240 is provided with two segments of spaced-apart flip-hole positioning edges 241 in the circumferential direction.
[0042] In this embodiment, the back cover body 210 is made of metal.
[0043] The air conditioner back cover with reinforcing ribs provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model designs an air conditioner back cover with reinforcing ribs. Through the combination of the flip-hole positioning edge and the elastic limiting component, the alignment and positioning operation before assembly can be quickly performed when assembling the air conditioner back cover, reducing assembly deviation and improving efficiency.
