Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner installation structure, specifically an air conditioner installation structure for an electrical control cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Electrical components in electrical control cabinets have a shorter lifespan when operating at high temperatures. Therefore, some electrical control cabinets are equipped with air conditioners to help dissipate heat from the electrical components.
[0003] The current method of installing air conditioners in electrical control cabinets involves setting up an installation window on the side wall of the electrical control cabinet, installing the air conditioner body in the installation window and inserting it into the electrical control cabinet, and then fixing the air conditioner body with bolts. This makes it cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive to disassemble and repair the air conditioner, reducing the convenience of disassembly and assembly and making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides an air conditioning installation structure for an electrical control cabinet to solve the problems of cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive operation in the installation of air conditioning in existing electrical control cabinets.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] The air conditioning installation structure of the electrical control cabinet includes an installation window on one side of the cabinet wall of the electrical control cabinet (1). The outer wall of the cabinet wall where the installation window is located is provided with L-shaped side plates (4) at the positions of the two symmetrical side edges in the horizontal direction of the installation window. The vertical section of each side plate (4) is fixed to the position of the corresponding side edge in the horizontal direction of the installation window on the outer wall of the cabinet. The horizontal section of each side plate (4) extends outward from the cabinet wall, and a bracket (2) is fixed between the horizontal sections of the two side plates (4) to support the air conditioning body (3). The top surface of the bracket (2) is flush with the bottom surface of the installation window.
[0007] A protective box (6) is fixed on the outer wall of the cabinet where the installation window is located, corresponding to the upper edge of the installation window. A pair of connecting plates (702) are slidably installed in the protective box (6), and the sliding direction of each connecting plate (702) is parallel to the upper edge of the installation window. Each connecting plate (702) is connected to a clamping plate (703). Both clamping plates (703) extend outward from the cabinet wall and clamp the air conditioner body (3) by the two clamping plates (703). A driving mechanism for driving the two connecting plates (702) to slide is also installed in the protective box (6).
[0008] Furthermore, a front baffle (5) is provided between the horizontal ends of the two side plates (4), one end of which is rotatably connected to the horizontal end of one of the side plates (4), and the other end of which is snapped into the horizontal end of the other side plate (4).
[0009] Furthermore, a bidirectional threaded rod (701) is rotatably installed inside the protective box (6). The bidirectional threaded rod (701) is axially parallel to the upper edge of the mounting window. The thread of the bidirectional threaded rod (701) is divided into two segments with opposite directions of rotation along the axial direction. A guide groove (707) is provided on one side of the protective box (6) corresponding to each thread segment. One end of each of the two connecting plates (702) passes through the guide groove and is then screwed into the corresponding thread segment of the bidirectional threaded rod (701) through the threaded hole. Thus, each connecting plate (702) cooperates with the corresponding thread segment and the guide groove (707) to form a screw-slider mechanism. The other end of the two connecting plates (702) is located outside the protective box (6) and is fixedly connected to the clamping plate (703).
[0010] Furthermore, the top surface of the bracket (2) is provided with a water collection trough (201), and the outer wall of the cabinet where the installation window is located is provided with a water storage bottle (102) located below the bracket (2). The inlet end of the water storage bottle (102) is connected to the water collection trough (201) on the top surface of the bracket (2) through a water pipe (301).
[0011] In this invention, the air conditioner unit is placed on a bracket and extends through the installation window into the electrical control cabinet. It is secured by two clamps, and the distance between the clamps is adjusted by a drive mechanism within the protective box, making it suitable for air conditioner units of different sizes. After the air conditioner unit is placed, a front baffle limits its position, ensuring a stable installation. Furthermore, the water collection tank on the bracket, in conjunction with a water collection bottle, collects condensation generated by the air conditioner unit.
[0012] This utility model eliminates the need to tighten screws during the entire installation process, simplifying the installation steps of the air conditioner unit in the electrical control cabinet, improving the efficiency of air conditioner unit installation, and offering the advantages of convenient installation and disassembly.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses an air conditioning installation structure for an electrical control cabinet, including an installation window located on the front wall of the electrical control cabinet body 1. L-shaped side plates 4 are respectively provided on the outer wall of the front wall of the electrical control cabinet body 1 at the positions of the horizontal left and right symmetrical sides of the installation window.
[0020] One of the vertical sections of the side panel 4 is fixed to the outer wall of the front side of the electrical control cabinet 1, corresponding to the left edge of the installation window. The other vertical section of the side panel 4 is fixed to the outer wall of the front side of the electrical control cabinet 1, corresponding to the left edge of the installation window. The horizontal sections of the two side panels 4 extend forward to the front of the front side of the electrical control cabinet 1. A bracket 2 is fixed between the horizontal sections of the two side panels 4 to support the air conditioner body 3. The top surface of the bracket 2 is flush with the bottom surface of the installation window.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, a front baffle 5 is provided between the front ends of the horizontal sections of the two side panels 4. The right end of the front baffle 5 is rotatably connected to the front end of the horizontal section of the right side panel 4 via a pin 501. The front end of the horizontal section of the left side panel 4 has a latch, and the left end of the front baffle 5 has a latching block. The left end of the front baffle 5 engages with the latch at the front end of the horizontal section of the left side panel 4 via the latching block. The front baffle 5 provides a limiting position in front of the air conditioning unit 3.
[0022] A water collection tank 201 is provided on the top surface of the bracket 2. A receiving frame 101 is fixed on the outer wall of the front side of the electrical control cabinet 1 below the bracket 2. A water storage bottle 102 is fixed on the receiving frame 101. The inlet end of the water storage bottle 102 is connected to the water collection tank 201 on the top surface of the bracket 2 through a water pipe 301. The condensate generated by the air conditioner body 3 flows into the water collection tank 201, and then flows into the water storage bottle 102 through the water pipe 301, thereby collecting the condensate.
[0023] like Figure 4As shown, a protective box 6 is fixed to the outer wall of the front side of the electrical control cabinet 1, corresponding to the upper edge of the mounting window. A drive mechanism is installed inside the protective box 6, including a bidirectional threaded rod 701 rotatably mounted within the protective box 6. The bidirectional threaded rod 701 is axially horizontal and parallel to the upper edge of the mounting window. The thread of the bidirectional threaded rod 701 is divided into two sections with opposite directions of rotation, left and right. Between the left and right threaded sections is a smooth rod section, on which a driven gear 704 is coaxially fixed. A drive gear 706 is rotatably mounted at the top inside the protective box 6. The drive gear 706 extends axially through the protective box 6 and is coaxially fixed to a handwheel 705. When the handwheel 705 is rotated, the bidirectional threaded rod 701 can be driven to rotate via the drive gear 706 and the driven gear 704.
[0024] In this embodiment, a fixing block 709 is connected to one side of the handwheel 705. A pin 710 is installed through the fixing block 709. The top surface of the protective box 6 is provided with a socket corresponding to the position of the pin 710 for the pin 710 to be inserted. When the pin 710 is inserted into the socket on the top surface of the protective box 6, the handwheel 705 and the bidirectional threaded rod 701 can be fixed.
[0025] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface of the protective box 6 is provided with guide grooves 707 corresponding to each threaded segment of the bidirectional threaded rod 701, and the guide grooves extend horizontally in the left and right directions. Each guide groove 707 is equipped with two connecting plates 702. After the upper ends of the two connecting plates 702 pass through the corresponding guide grooves, they are screwed onto the corresponding threaded segments of the bidirectional threaded rod 701 through threaded holes. Thus, each connecting plate 702, the corresponding threaded segment, and the guide groove 707 cooperate to form a screw-slider mechanism. The lower ends of the two connecting plates 702 extend to the bottom of the protective box 6 and are respectively fixedly connected to clamping plates 703. The two clamping plates 703 extend horizontally forward toward the front wall of the electrical control cabinet 1, and rigid rubber plates 708 are fixed to the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 703.
[0026] The upper part of the air conditioner body 3 is held by two clamping plates 703. When the bidirectional threaded rod 701 rotates, the two connecting plates 702 move in the same or opposite directions in the left and right horizontal direction, thereby causing the two clamping plates 703 to move in the same or opposite directions. This allows the distance between the two clamping plates 703 to be adjusted to suit air conditioner bodies of different sizes, and to clamp the air conditioner body 3 with the two clamping plates 703, thereby fixing the air conditioner body 3.
