[0047] Reference Figures 1-8 This is an embodiment of the water pump auxiliary installation device 400 of this utility model, which aims to solve the problems of screws being difficult to tighten completely and low installation efficiency when fixing the air conditioner water pump 100 and bracket 200.

[0048] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the bracket 200; Figures 2-4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the water pump auxiliary installation device 400 of this utility model.

[0049] The water pump auxiliary installation device 400 is used for the pre-assembly of the water pump 100 and the bracket 200, and includes an operating table 410 and at least one set of positioning structures disposed on the operating table 410.

[0050] The control panel 410 serves as the basic support platform for pre-installed operations.

[0051] The positioning structure includes a receiving part 420, a slot 430, a clearance slot 440, and a positioning surface 450.

[0052] The receiving portion 420 is formed on the surface of the operating table 410 and has a lateral opening for receiving the support 200.

[0053] The slot 430 is provided along the inner wall of the receiving part 420, and its function is to guide and fix the insertion position of the bracket 200.

[0054] The clearance groove 440 is formed at the bottom of the receiving part 420. Its position on the operating table 410 corresponds to the fixing hole 210 of the bracket to be pre-installed and the fixing hole 111 of the water pump to be installed later. It is used to provide operating space for the installation and tightening of the connecting fastener 300 (such as fixing screw) during the pre-installation process, so as to avoid interference between the connecting fastener 300 and the operating table 410.

[0055] The positioning surface 450 is provided on the inner wall of the receiving part 420 and is used to contact and position the water pump 100 so that the fixing hole 111 of the water pump is aligned with the fixing hole 210 of the bracket.

[0056] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 During pre-assembly, the bracket 200 is first slid to the left from the side opening of the receiving part 420 in the direction shown in the figure, and then slides into the groove 430. The bracket 200 slides into the groove 430. At this point, except for the left side of the bracket 200 which has no limit, all other directions have limiters, and the bracket 200 is initially fixed, ensuring that the bracket 200 and the water pump 100 will not shift due to vertical movement during installation. Simultaneously, the fixing hole 210 of the bracket is located above the clearance hole on the operating table 410.

[0057] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 Then, the water pump 100 to be installed is placed in the corresponding area preset on the operating table 410. The outer contour of the water pump 100 fits into the positioning surface 450 of the device. Under the constraint of the positioning surface 450, the position of the water pump 100 in the horizontal direction is limited, so that the fixing hole 111 of the water pump can be aligned with the positioning hole of the bracket 200.

[0058] After completing the above positioning, the operator can easily screw in the fixing screws through the clearance groove 440 to reliably install and fix the water pump 100 and the bracket 200 together. After fixing, the pre-assembled water pump 100 and bracket 200 can be slid out from one side of the device for subsequent air conditioning assembly process.

[0059] The aforementioned water pump auxiliary installation device 400 can pre-assemble the water pump 100 and the bracket 200 together. By setting the clearance groove 440, it effectively avoids interference between the fixing screw and the operating table 410 during the tightening process, ensuring that the screw can be fully tightened in place, thus improving the reliability and safety of the connection. Through the cooperation of the slot 430 and the positioning surface 450, the fixing holes 210 of the water pump 100 and the bracket can be accurately aligned in advance, saving workers' hole alignment time during subsequent installation and improving production efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The slot 430 is designed with an angled structure, meaning that the height of the slot 430 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside from the side opening, i.e., h1 > h2. As the bracket 200 slides into the slot 430, it becomes tighter as it goes in, thus restricting the vertical movement space of the bracket 200. This effectively avoids the installation offset problem caused by the up-and-down movement of the bracket 200 and the water pump 100 during installation, further ensuring the stability and accuracy of the pre-assembly.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the surface roughness of the mating surface 421 of the receiving part 420 and the bracket 200 is greater than the surface roughness of the bracket 200 itself. This design can increase the friction between the two, thereby ensuring that the bracket 200 cannot move outward without the action of external force, so that it remains in a relatively fixed state during the pre-assembly process.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the water pump 100 has a plurality of bottom fixing feet 110, and the fixing hole 111 of the water pump is provided on the bottom fixing feet 110.

[0063] To achieve more precise positioning, such as Figure 8 As shown, the positioning surface 450 may include multiple positioning arc surfaces. Each positioning arc surface will abut against the side wall of the bottom fixing foot 110 of the water pump 100 for positioning, thereby ensuring the precise alignment of the water pump 100 in the horizontal direction.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving portion 420 gradually narrows inward along the lateral opening, forming a guide sidewall 422. The guide sidewall 422 facilitates the smooth sliding of the support 200 into the receiving portion 420.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, the clearance groove 440 extends outward along its length to a lateral opening. This extension of the clearance groove 440 to the lateral opening reduces manufacturing difficulty and cost. It also facilitates subsequent cleaning and maintenance, preventing internal dust or debris from affecting operation.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the edge of the clearance groove 440 at the lateral opening is provided with a chamfer 441. The chamfer 441 can eliminate sharp edges, reduce the risk of operators being scratched during use, and also avoid stress concentration, thereby improving the durability of the component.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the worktable 410 has a rectangular structure. The rectangular structure is simple and regular, easy to manufacture, and convenient to combine with other equipment or worktables.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the operating table 410 is provided with two sets of positioning structures, which are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the operating table 410. This allows two operators to pre-assemble two water pumps 100 and brackets 200 simultaneously, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0069] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by this utility model.
