Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air vent panel technology, specifically relating to an air vent panel outer frame profile and an air vent panel installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional central air conditioning vent structures typically consist of an outer frame attached to the vent body, with the vent panel connected to the frame via bolts or hinges. This traditional vent structure is costly to manufacture and cumbersome to assemble due to the need for the vent panel to fit the frame and connecting components, resulting in high labor costs. While some existing technologies use snap-fit vent panels for easier installation and removal, these generally require the installation of corresponding snap-fit components on the inner wall of the vent body and the side of the vent panel. This necessitates numerous initial assembly steps and precise control of the relative positions of the snap-fit components, demanding high levels of manual labor and thus presenting significant initial labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an air vent panel outer frame profile and air vent panel installation structure that, while facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the air vent panel, eliminates the need for precise alignment of the mounting and fixing components, thereby improving installation efficiency, reducing material usage, and lowering labor costs.
[0004] This utility model provides an air vent panel outer frame profile, including a horizontal plate for forming the outer surface of the air vent panel outer frame and a vertical plate for forming the mounting surface of the air vent panel outer frame. The vertical plate is disposed on the horizontal plate, and a protruding strip is provided on the side of the vertical plate facing the inner wall of the air vent body or on the end of the vertical plate away from the horizontal plate. The protruding strip is used to engage with a mating part disposed on the inner wall of the air vent body, and the horizontal plate, vertical plate and protruding strip are integrally extruded.
[0005] Furthermore, when the convex strip is set at the end of the vertical plate away from the horizontal plate, the convex strip and the end of the vertical plate away from the horizontal plate form a T-shaped structure.
[0006] This utility model also provides an air vent panel installation structure, including mating parts disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the air vent body, and the air vent panel uses the air vent panel outer frame profile as described above. The mating parts include a fixing plate and an elastic clamping plate. The fixing plate is fixed to the inner wall of the air vent body, and the elastic clamping plate is inclined relative to the fixing plate and has a cantilever structure. The end of the elastic clamping plate extends in the direction of the interior of the air vent body and abuts against the vertical plate and the protrusion.
[0007] Furthermore, the elastic plate and the fixing plate are adjacent to each other in the cross-sectional dimension direction of the air vent body.
[0008] Furthermore, the elastic plate is located outside the side of the fixed plate that faces away from the inner wall of the air vent body, and the elastic plate has an opening for exposing the fixed plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a support plate is provided laterally at one end of the fixed plate away from the interior of the air vent body, and the elastic clamping plate is provided on the support plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the elastic plate is located at one end of the fixed plate facing the interior of the air vent body, and the connection between the elastic plate and the fixed plate is laterally bent.
[0011] Furthermore, a positioning plate is provided laterally at one end of the fixing plate away from the interior of the air vent body, and the positioning plate overlaps the edge of the end face of the air vent body.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixing plate is provided with fixing holes, which are oblong holes and extend in the direction of the interior of the air vent body. Fasteners pass through the fixing holes and connect with the inner wall of the air vent body to fix the fixing plate to the inner wall of the air vent body.
[0013] Furthermore, the width of the convex strip is greater than the thickness of the elastic plate.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the vertical plate of the vent panel outer frame profile is integrally formed with a raised strip, which extends along the length of the side of the vent panel outer frame. The vent panel can be directly installed using the fitting parts set on the inner wall of the vent body, eliminating the need for assembling or processing snap-fit structures on the vent panel outer frame. Only the fitting parts need to be set on the inner wall of the vent body and their installation position along the air inlet / outlet direction needs to be controlled. Precise alignment is not required, greatly reducing the requirements for installation accuracy, improving efficiency, reducing material usage, and lowering labor costs. The fitting parts also allow for convenient disassembly and assembly of the vent panel, facilitating the cleaning and replacement of the internal filter or other components of the vent body. Furthermore, since the end of the elastic plate of the mating part extends towards the inside of the air vent body, after the end of the elastic plate abuts against the protrusion, it can limit the air vent panel in the direction of air outlet, thereby improving the stability of the air vent panel under long-term wind pressure after installation. Compared with the conventional spring clip installation method, the installation stability of this utility model is higher. Compared with the installation method of the press-type buckle structure, the structure of this utility model is simpler and the manufacturing cost is lower. Attached Figure Description

[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides an outer frame profile 1 for an air vent panel, including a horizontal plate 11 and a vertical plate 12. The horizontal plate 11 forms the outer surface of the outer frame of the air vent panel 100, and when the air vent panel 100 is installed, this outer surface is located outside the end face of the air vent body 200. The vertical plate 12 forms the mounting surface of the outer frame of the air vent panel 100, and when the air vent panel 100 is installed, this mounting surface extends into the interior of the air vent body 200. The air vent body 200 is a ventilation hole in an air conditioning system located in the ceiling, wall, or floor. The vertical plate 12 is mounted on the horizontal plate 11, and a protruding strip 13 is provided on the side of the vertical plate 12 facing the inner wall of the air vent body 200 or on the end of the vertical plate 12 facing away from the horizontal plate 11. The protruding strip 13 engages with a mating part 2 provided on the inner wall of the air vent body 200, and the horizontal plate 11, vertical plate 12, and protruding strip 13 are integrally extruded, i.e., integrally formed by an extrusion process.
[0029] The air vent panel outer frame profile 1 provided by this utility model has an integrally formed protrusion 13. The protrusion 13 extends along the length direction of the side of the air vent panel 100 outer frame. The air vent panel 100 can be directly installed by the mating parts 2 set on the inner wall of the air vent body 200, eliminating the process of assembling or processing the snap-fit structure on the outer frame of the air vent panel 100. Only the mating parts 2 need to be set on the inner wall of the air vent body 200. At the same time, it is only necessary to control the installation position of the mating parts 2 on the inner wall of the air vent body 200 along the air inlet / outlet direction. There is no need for precise alignment, which greatly reduces the requirements for installation accuracy, improves installation efficiency, and reduces material usage and labor costs.
[0030] The position of the protruding strip 13 on the vertical plate 12 is determined according to actual needs and the configuration of the mating part 2, for example... Figure 1 The arrangement shown is on the side of the vertical plate 12 facing the inner wall of the air vent body 200, or as... Figure 2 The arrangement shown is at one end of the vertical plate 12 away from the horizontal plate 11. Figure 2 Based on this, further optimization can be performed as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the protruding strip 13 and the end of the vertical plate 12 opposite to the horizontal plate 11 form a T-shaped structure to increase the structural strength of the protruding strip 13.
[0031] like Figures 1-12As shown, this utility model also provides an air vent panel mounting structure, including mating parts 2 disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the air vent body 200, and the air vent panel 100 uses the air vent panel outer frame profile 1 as described above. The air vent body 200 is provided with two inner walls of the mating parts 2, specifically two inner walls that are opposite to each other. The mating parts 2 include a fixing plate 21 and an elastic retaining plate 22. The fixing plate 21 is fixed to the inner wall of the air vent body 200, and the elastic retaining plate 22 is inclined relative to the fixing plate 21. The end of the elastic retaining plate 22 extends in the direction of the interior of the air vent body 200, that is, the length direction of the elastic retaining plate 22 is arranged along the air inlet / outlet direction of the air vent body 200, and the elastic retaining plate 22 has a cantilever structure relative to the fixing plate 21. The end of the elastic retaining plate 22 abuts against the vertical plate 12 and the protrusion 13 to fix the air vent panel 100 on the air vent body 200.
[0032] The air vent panel mounting structure provided by this utility model allows for convenient installation of the air vent panel 100. The air vent panel 100 is directly aligned with the air vent body 200 and pushed in. The side of the air vent panel 100 presses against the elastic retaining plate 22. After the air vent panel 100 is pushed into place, the elastic retaining plate 22 returns to its original position. The end of the elastic retaining plate 22 abuts against the vertical plate 12 and the protruding strip 13, thus fixing the air vent panel 100 onto the air vent body 200. When it is necessary to remove the air vent panel 100, the air vent panel 100 is pushed laterally along the end face of the air vent body 200, pressing against the elastic retaining plate 22 of the inner wall fitting 2 on one side of the air vent body 200. This separates the elastic retaining plate 22 of the inner wall fitting 2 on the other side of the air vent body 200 from the side of the air vent panel 100, allowing the air vent panel 100 to be removed directly. This facilitates the convenient installation and removal of the air vent panel 100, making it easier to clean and replace the internal filter or other components of the air vent body 200.
[0033] Since the air vent panel 100 uses the aforementioned air vent panel outer frame profile 1, the air vent panel 100 can be directly installed through the mating parts 2 set on the inner wall of the air vent body 200. This eliminates the need for assembling or processing the snap-fit structure on the outer frame of the air vent panel 100. Moreover, it is only necessary to control the installation position of the mating parts 2 on the inner wall of the air vent body 200 along the air inlet / outlet direction. Precise alignment is not required, which greatly reduces the requirements for installation accuracy, improves installation efficiency, and reduces material usage and labor costs. Meanwhile, the end of the elastic clip 22 abuts against the vertical plate 12 and the protrusion 13, which can limit the lateral movement of the air vent panel 100. Since the end of the elastic clip 22 extends towards the interior of the air vent body 200, after the end of the elastic clip 22 abuts against the protrusion 13, it can limit the air vent panel 100 in the direction of air outlet, thereby improving the stability of the air vent panel 100 under long-term wind pressure after installation. Compared with the conventional spring clip installation method, the installation stability of this utility model is higher. Compared with the installation method of the press-type buckle structure, the structure of this utility model is simpler and the manufacturing cost is lower.
[0034] In some configurations of the mating component 2 of this utility model, the elastic clamping plate 22 and the fixing plate 21 are adjacent in the cross-sectional dimension direction of the air outlet body 200, which is the length or width dimension of the end face of the air outlet body 200. Based on this arrangement, when the mating component 2 is set on the inner wall of the air outlet body 200, the distance between the end of the elastic clamping plate 22 and the end face of the air outlet body 200 is closer, and the height requirement of the vertical plate 12 is lower.
[0035] In the aforementioned configuration, preferably, the elastic retaining plate 22 is located outside the side of the fixing plate 21 that faces away from the inner wall of the air outlet body 200, that is, the elastic retaining plate 22 and the fixing plate 21 are located at... Figure 12 The adjacent plates in the lateral direction allow for a smaller size design for the fixing plate 21, reducing material costs. Furthermore, the elastic clamping plate 22 has an opening 221 for exposing the fixing plate 21, facilitating the fixing of the fixing plate 21. Specifically, the opening 221 is located in the middle of the elastic clamping plate 22, ensuring that both sides of the elastic clamping plate 22 are connected to the fixing plate 21 with reinforcing ribs, thereby guaranteeing the stability and effectiveness of the elastic clamping plate 22's positioning.
[0036] By using mating parts 2 with different spacing between the fixed plate 21 and the elastic clamping plate 22 (i.e., different models of mating parts 2), the machining dimensional errors of the air vent body 200 can be accommodated, ensuring effective fixation of the air vent panel 100. Therefore, in some models of the aforementioned configuration, the elastic clamping plate 22 is directly connected to the fixed plate 21, for example... Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown. In other models, a support plate 23 is laterally arranged at one end of the fixed plate 21 facing away from the interior of the air vent body 200. The elastic clamping plate 22 is arranged on the support plate 23. The lateral dimensions of the support plate 23 are different, and the spacing between the fixed plate 21 and the elastic clamping plate 22 is also different, thus forming different models of mating parts 2, i.e. Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown.
[0037] In some other configurations of this utility model, the elastic clamping plate 22 is disposed at one end of the fixed plate 21 facing the interior of the air vent body 200, and the connection between the elastic clamping plate 22 and the fixed plate 21 is laterally bent, i.e. Figure 10 As shown, when the lateral dimensions at the bend between the elastic plate 22 and the fixed plate 21 are different, the distance between the planes where the elastic plate 22 and the fixed plate 21 are located will be different, thus forming mating parts 2 of different types.
[0038] In this invention, a positioning plate 24 is laterally provided at one end of the fixing plate 21 facing away from the interior of the air vent body 200. The positioning plate 24 overlaps the edge of the end face of the air vent body 200. Based on the positioning plate 24, the installation depth of the mating component 2 on the inner wall of the air vent body 200 can be accurately positioned, eliminating the need for additional positioning operations during the installation of the mating component 2, further improving the installation efficiency of the mating component 2, and thus further reducing labor costs. Specifically, in Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the configuration shown, the end of the support plate 23 facing away from the elastic card plate 22 extends along the direction of the fixing plate 21 facing away from the elastic card plate 22 and forms the positioning plate 24.
[0039] The fixing plate 21 has a fixing hole 211, which is an oblong hole, and its length extends in the direction of the interior of the air outlet body 200, that is, the length direction of the oblong hole is set along the air inlet / outlet direction of the air outlet body 200. Fasteners pass through the fixing hole 211 and connect to the inner wall of the air outlet body 200 to fix the fixing plate 21 to the inner wall of the air outlet body 200. Specifically, the fasteners pass through the fixing hole 211 and connect to the connecting hole on the inner wall of the air outlet body 200 to fix the fixing plate 21 to the inner wall of the air outlet body 200. The connecting hole is a threaded hole, and the fastener is a screw. Because the fixing hole 211 is an oblong hole, it can accommodate the opening position error of the connecting hole on the inner wall of the air outlet body 200.
[0040] In this utility model, there are two mating parts 2 disposed on one side of the inner wall of the air vent body 200, and the two mating parts 2 are spaced apart, i.e. Figure 11 As shown, this is to improve the levelness and stability of the air vent panel 100 after installation and to prevent the air vent panel 100 from tilting after installation.
[0041] Preferably, the width of the protrusion 13 is greater than the thickness of the elastic plate 22 to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the contact between the elastic plate 22 and the protrusion 13, and to prevent the elastic plate 22 from moving out of the protrusion 13 under small vibrations, which would cause the air vent panel 100 to loosen and fall off.
