Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] The quick-release panel device for fan coil units disclosed in this utility model is mainly used in the scenario of fan coil unit maintenance.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-7 A quick-release panel device for easy maintenance of fan coil units includes a base plate 1. A mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A panel body 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 2. A quick-release mechanism is provided on the outer side of the mounting frame 2. The quick-release mechanism includes a mounting component, a positioning component, and a ventilation component. The mounting component, positioning component, and ventilation component work together. The mounting component includes a positioning plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the panel body 3. A connecting block 42 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the panel body 3. A T-shaped limiting groove 43 is provided inside the connecting block 42. An L-shaped positioning plate 10 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 2. The positioning component includes a fixing frame 44, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting frame 2. Sliding columns 45 are symmetrically slidably connected inside the fixing frame 44. Pressing plates 47 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two sliding columns 45. T-shaped limiting blocks 48 are fixedly connected to the top of the two sliding columns 45. Springs 46 are fitted on the outer sides of each of the two sliding columns 45. A pulling frame 49 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two sliding columns 45.

[0032] In this embodiment, maintenance personnel only need to press the pressing plate 47 or pull down the pulling bracket 49 to make the sliding column 45 drive the T-shaped limiting block 48 to move downward against the elastic force of the spring 46, disengaging from the T-shaped limiting groove 43 on the panel body 3, so that the entire panel body 3 can be easily removed. During installation, first align the positioning plate 41 at the bottom of the panel body 3 with the L-shaped positioning plate 10 on the mounting frame 2, and then push the panel to align the connecting block 42 with the fixing frame 44. After releasing the pressing plate 47, the spring 46 pushes the T-shaped limiting block 48 to automatically engage with the T-shaped limiting groove 43 to complete the locking. With the quick-release mechanism, the entire disassembly and assembly process does not require tools, which greatly improves the efficiency of panel installation and disassembly, reduces the workload of maintenance personnel, and avoids the possibility of screw stripping or panel deformation caused by frequent disassembly and assembly, which may affect the sealing and aesthetics of the equipment. The structure is simple and highly practical.

[0033] In the above technical solution, considering the problem that the panel is not easy to disassemble and install, the specific operation is as follows to solve this problem:

[0034] Reference Figures 1-7 In a preferred embodiment, the ventilation assembly includes a heat exchange pipe 5, which is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 2. Heat exchange fins 6 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer side of the heat exchange pipe 5. A corrugated baffle 9 for air outlet is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 2. A dual-head motor 7 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 2, and ventilation fans 8 are fixedly connected to both output ends of the dual-head motor 7. Dust baffles 11 for protection are fixedly connected to the air inlets of both ventilation fans 8. A drain pipe 12 for draining condensate is fixedly connected to one side of the interior of the mounting frame 2. The size of the T-shaped limiting block 48 matches the size of the T-shaped limiting groove 43, and the T-shaped limiting block 48 and the T-shaped limiting groove 43 cooperate with each other.

[0035] In this embodiment, the ventilation components optimize airflow organization. The wave-shaped baffle 9 reduces wind noise and ensures uniform airflow. The dual-head motor 7 drives two ventilation fans 8, enhancing heat exchange efficiency and improving the overall performance of the fan coil unit. A dust baffle 11 is installed at the air inlet of the ventilation fan 8, effectively preventing dust and debris from entering the fan, extending equipment lifespan, and reducing maintenance frequency. The drain pipe 12 is located inside the mounting frame 2, facilitating rapid drainage of condensate, preventing water accumulation that could lead to equipment corrosion or bacterial growth, and improving operational reliability. The T-shaped limiting block 48 and the T-shaped limiting groove 43 are precisely matched in size, ensuring accurate positioning during installation, preventing loosening or misalignment, and improving the installation stability and sealing of the panel body 3.

[0036] Working Principle: The dual-head motor 7 drives the two side ventilation fans 8 to rotate, driving airflow through the heat exchange tubes 5 and the heat exchange fins 6 on their outer sides for heat exchange, achieving cooling or heating functions. When the airflow passes through the wave-shaped baffle 9, it is evenly dispersed and wind noise is reduced. At the same time, the dust baffle 11 effectively prevents dust from entering the equipment. When maintenance is required, the maintenance personnel only need to press the press plate 47 or pull down the pull bracket 49 to make the sliding column 45 drive the T-shaped limit block 48 to move downward against the elastic force of the spring 46, disengaging it from the T-shaped limit groove 43 on the panel body 3, so that the entire panel body 3 can be easily removed. During installation, first align the positioning plate 41 at the bottom of the panel body 3 with the L-shaped positioning plate 10 on the mounting frame 2, then push the panel to align the connecting block 42 with the fixing frame 44. After releasing the press plate 47, the spring 46 pushes the T-shaped limit block 48 to automatically lock into the T-shaped limit groove 43. The entire disassembly and assembly process requires no tools and is simple and quick to operate. In addition, condensate generated during equipment operation is promptly discharged through drain pipe 12, ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment. This design not only guarantees structural stability during daily use but also greatly improves the convenience of inspection and maintenance.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
