[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0023] An air source heat pump that is easy to maintain includes an air source heat pump body 1. A positioning post 22 is fixedly connected to the air source heat pump body 1. A mounting base ring 21 is engaged with the surface of the positioning post 22. A fan grille 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting base ring 21. A limit rod 23 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the mounting base ring 21. A connecting block 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the limit rod 23. A linkage ring 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 24. The linkage ring 25 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the fan grille 2. A fixing nut 26 is fixedly connected to the surface of the linkage ring 25. The surface of the nut 26 is threaded with a limiting bolt 27, and the surface of the fan cover 2 is provided with a locking groove 28. The fan cover 2 is located on the top of the air source heat pump body 1. Simply rotate the limiting bolt 27 on the fixing nut 26 to unscrew the limiting bolt 27 from the locking groove 28, and then rotate the linkage ring 25. The linkage ring 25 drives the limiting rod 23 to rotate through the limiting rod 23, and slide the connecting block 24 out from the positioning post 22. The fan cover 2 can then be directly removed from the top of the air source heat pump body 1. The operation is simple and convenient, which makes it easy for workers to maintain the fan and greatly improves the efficiency of maintenance.
[0024] Furthermore, the fan cover 2 is equipped with a sound insulation mechanism, which includes a limiting top ring 3, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the fan cover 2. An annular composite sound-absorbing plate 31 is sleeved on the inner side of the fan cover 2. A supporting bottom ring 32 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the fan cover 2. A limiting bottom ring 33 is fixedly connected to the surface of the supporting bottom ring 32. A driving groove 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting bottom ring 32. The annular composite sound-absorbing plate 31 is composed of galvanized steel plate, glass wool, rock wool, polyurethane foam and damping coating. It can be installed on the inner wall of the fan cover 2 to greatly reduce the noise of the fan.
[0025] Furthermore, multiple sets of positioning posts 22 are provided and are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the top of the air source heat pump body 1. Multiple sets of slots are opened on the surface of the mounting base ring 21. The positioning posts 22 are engaged with the slots of the mounting base ring 21. The positioning posts 22 and the slots of the mounting base ring 21 adopt an interference fit to ensure installation stability and facilitate quick separation during disassembly. The multiple sets of positioning posts 22 restrict the installation position of the fan grille 2 on the top of the air source heat pump body 1 through the slots of the mounting base ring 21, thereby realizing the quick positioning of the fan grille 2 on the top of the air source heat pump body 1. The height of the positioning posts 22 is the same as the height of the mounting base ring 21 to avoid affecting the rotation of the linkage ring 25 on the fan grille 2.
[0026] Furthermore, a limiting hole is formed on the surface of the positioning column 22, and a guide hole is formed on one side of the mounting ring 21. The limiting rod 23 slides in an arc shape on the guide hole of the mounting ring 21, and the limiting rod 23 can slide to be inserted into the limiting hole of the positioning column 22. A limiting hole is formed on the guide hole of the mounting ring 21, and the connecting block 24 slides on the limiting hole of the mounting ring 21. Multiple sets of connecting blocks 24 are provided, and they are all driven to rotate by the linkage ring 25. The linkage ring 25 controls the rotation of multiple sets of connecting blocks 24 at the same time, thereby driving multiple sets of limiting rods 23 to be inserted into the limiting holes of the fan screen 2. When the connecting block 24 rotates to the point where it can no longer move, the limiting bolt 27 is just aligned with the locking groove 28, which facilitates the limiting.
[0027] Furthermore, the limiting bolt 27 is inserted into the locking groove 28 through the fixing nut 26. The locking groove 28 restricts the linkage ring 25 from continuing to rotate on the fan screen 2 through the limiting bolt 27 and the fixing nut 26, thereby ensuring the position of the connecting block 24 and the limiting rod 23. The fixing nut 26 and the limiting bolt 27 are self-locking threads to prevent loosening due to vibration and ensure the stability of the limit. The positioning column 22 restricts the position of the mounting bottom ring 21 through the limiting rod 23, thereby realizing the installation of the fan screen 2 on the air source heat pump body 1. The disassembly principle is the same.
[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the fan screen 2 is provided with an internal thread, the support bottom ring 32 is provided with an external thread, and multiple sets of drive grooves 34 are provided and are evenly distributed in a ring. The inner wall of the drive grooves 34 is provided with anti-slip texture to enhance the contact force between the tool and the drive grooves 34 and prevent slippage during rotation. By using a round tool, after inserting it into the drive grooves 34, the support bottom ring 32 can be easily driven to rotate on the internal thread of the fan screen 2, thereby installing the support bottom ring 32 and the limiting bottom ring 33 at the bottom of the fan screen 2.
[0029] Furthermore, the limiting top ring 3 forms an annular groove on the inner top of the fan grille 2, and the supporting bottom ring 32 and the limiting bottom ring 33 form annular grooves on the inner bottom of the fan grille 2. The annular composite sound-absorbing plate 31 is simultaneously engaged and connected to these two sets of annular grooves, thereby realizing the installation of the annular composite sound-absorbing plate 31 on the inner wall of the fan grille 2. The edge of the annular composite sound-absorbing plate 31 is provided with an elastic sealing strip to enhance its fit with the fan grille 2 and prevent loosening due to vibration. The annular composite sound-absorbing plate 31 on the inner wall of the fan grille 2 greatly reduces the noise of the fan and improves the user experience of the air source heat pump.
[0030] Working principle: Rotate the limiting bolt 27 on the surface of the fixing nut 26 to unscrew the limiting bolt 27 from the locking groove 28. At this time, rotate the linkage ring 25 on the surface of the fan screen 2. The linkage ring 25 drives the limiting rod 23 to slide on the guide hole of the mounting bottom ring 21 through the connecting block 24. The connecting block 24 slides out from the limiting hole of the positioning post 22, thus removing the restriction of the positioning post 22 on the mounting bottom ring 21 on the surface of the air source heat pump body 1. At this time, the fan screen 2 can be directly removed. The operation is simple and convenient, making it easy for workers to inspect the fan and greatly improving the efficiency of maintenance.
[0031] A ring-shaped groove is formed on the inner top of the fan cover 2 by the limiting top ring 3, and the ring-shaped composite sound-absorbing plate 31 is fitted inside the fan cover 2, so that the ring-shaped composite sound-absorbing plate 31 is engaged with the ring-shaped groove on the top of the fan cover 2. A circular tool is inserted into the drive groove 34 to drive the support bottom ring 32 to rotate on the internal thread at the bottom of the fan cover 2. The ring-shaped groove on the inner bottom of the fan cover 2 by the support bottom ring 32 and the limiting bottom ring 33, as the support bottom ring 32 rotates and rises, the bottom of the ring-shaped composite sound-absorbing plate 31 is engaged with the ring-shaped groove at the bottom of the fan cover 2. At this time, the ring-shaped composite sound-absorbing plate 31 provides sound insulation on the inner wall of the air source heat pump body 1, which greatly reduces the noise of the fan and improves the user experience of the air source heat pump.
