Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioning maintenance structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, 5G communication technology has gradually become widespread and deeply integrated into all aspects of people's lives. Against this backdrop, the number of communication base stations, as key infrastructure ensuring the normal operation of communication networks, is steadily increasing. Among these, the base station equipment room, as a core component of the communication base station, houses a large number of communication devices, servers, and other critical facilities. These devices have extremely high requirements for their operating environment, requiring relatively constant temperature and humidity conditions to ensure normal and stable operation. Significant fluctuations in the operating environment can lead to decreased equipment performance, frequent malfunctions, and even affect the stability of the entire communication network.

[0003] Traditional air conditioning systems have played a crucial role in controlling the environment of base station equipment rooms. However, with the expansion of communication base station construction and the increasing operational requirements, traditional air conditioning systems have gradually revealed numerous problems. Especially in scenarios involving large-scale deployment and continuous long-term operation, traditional air conditioning systems consume enormous amounts of energy, increasing operating costs and failing to align with current energy conservation and emission reduction trends. Furthermore, their maintenance is complex, requiring frequent operation and debugging by professional technicians, resulting in high maintenance costs. In addition, due to long-term high-load operation and environmental factors, traditional air conditioning equipment has a relatively short lifespan, necessitating frequent replacements, further increasing the operating costs and management complexity of base station equipment rooms.

[0004] To overcome the drawbacks of traditional air conditioning systems, water-cooled base station equipment room air conditioners have emerged. Water-cooled air conditioning systems use water as the cooling medium, offering significant advantages in energy saving, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness compared to traditional air-cooled air conditioners. They can more effectively reduce the temperature inside the base station equipment room, providing a more stable and suitable operating environment for communication equipment. They are particularly suitable for large equipment rooms or communication base stations requiring long-term, stable operation, and have therefore been widely used in the field of communication base station equipment room air conditioning.

[0005] However, existing water-cooled base station equipment room air conditioners still have some shortcomings in their structural design, affecting their maintenance efficiency. Currently common water-cooled base station equipment room air conditioners employ methods such as... Figure 1As shown in the diagram, this unit is a side-connected water pipe unit. The inlet and outlet water pipes are connected to the unit via a connecting plate, which is fixed to both the unit and the right panel. During maintenance, it is necessary to first remove the screws securing the connecting plate to the right panel, ensuring the connecting plate remains fixed to the unit and is then separated from the right panel. However, before removing the right panel, the front and rear panels must also be removed. This series of operations is time-consuming and complex, requiring maintenance personnel to spend a significant amount of time and effort to complete the maintenance work. This greatly reduces maintenance efficiency, increases the operation and maintenance costs and downtime of the base station equipment room, and is detrimental to the stable operation of the communication base station.

[0006] Therefore, how to improve the structure of existing water-cooled base station equipment room air conditioners to enhance their maintenance efficiency has become a pressing technical problem in the field of communication base station equipment room air conditioners. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an air conditioning maintenance structure and an air conditioner.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an air conditioner maintenance structure, including: a body, a panel provided on the side of the body, the panel being connected to the body via an electric hinge assembly, and the operation of the electric hinge assembly being controlled to cause the panel to be in an open or closed state.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, the panel includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is connected to one end of the body via the electric hinge assembly, and the second panel is connected to the other end of the body via the electric hinge assembly. All the electric hinge assemblies are controlled to work simultaneously so that the first panel and the second panel are in an open or closed state.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the electric hinge assembly includes a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, and a torque motor. The torque motor has an output shaft, is connected to the first connecting plate, and the output shaft passes through the second connecting plate to form a transmission connection. The first connecting plate is connected to the body, and the second connecting plate is connected to the first panel or the second panel.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, a magnetic pin is also connected to the side of the second connecting plate facing the first connecting plate. The magnetic pin passes through the second connecting plate and is kinetically connected to the output shaft.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, the magnetic pin extends out of the second connecting plate. When the torque motor operates, it drives the magnetic pin and the second connecting plate to rotate toward the first connecting plate until the magnetic pin abuts against the first connecting plate, at which point the torque motor stops operating.

[0014] In one specific embodiment, both the first panel and the second panel are provided with opening slots, and the two opening slots are connected to form a mounting cavity for water inlet and outlet pipes to pass through.

[0015] In one specific embodiment, the mounting cavity is further provided with a rubber component, and the inlet and outlet water pipes pass through the rubber component and are connected to the machine body.

[0016] In one specific embodiment, both the first panel and the second panel are connected to at least two of the said electric hinge assemblies.

[0017] In one specific embodiment, the machine body is further provided with an operation screen, which is electrically connected to the electric hinge assembly. Clicking the operation screen controls the operation of the electric hinge assembly.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this air conditioner maintenance structure are as follows: the panel is connected to the unit via an electric hinge assembly. Controlling the electric hinge assembly allows the panel to open or close. When maintenance is required, simply controlling the electric hinge assembly automatically opens the panel, providing a convenient passage for the maintenance of components such as water pipes. After maintenance, controlling the electric hinge assembly again automatically resets the panel to its closed position. This automated opening and closing method eliminates the tedious steps of manually disassembling and installing the panel, greatly shortening maintenance time and significantly improving maintenance efficiency. In addition, the automatic opening and closing of the panel via the electric hinge assembly reduces manual operation, lowers the reliance on the skills and time of professional technicians, and thus effectively reduces labor costs.

[0019] Secondly, this utility model embodiment provides an air conditioner, including the air conditioner maintenance structure described above.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this air conditioner are as follows: By setting up an air conditioner maintenance structure, the panel is connected to the body via an electric hinge assembly. Controlling the electric hinge assembly allows the panel to open or close. When maintenance is needed, simply controlling the electric hinge assembly automatically opens the panel, providing a convenient passage for the maintenance of components such as water pipes. After maintenance, controlling the electric hinge assembly again automatically resets the panel to close. This automated opening and closing method eliminates the tedious steps of manually disassembling and installing the panel, greatly shortening maintenance time and significantly improving maintenance efficiency. In addition, the automatic opening and closing of the panel via the electric hinge assembly reduces manual operation, lowers the reliance on the skills and time of professional technicians, and thus effectively reduces labor costs.

In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification.

[0036] See Figures 2 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a specific embodiment of an air conditioner maintenance structure, including: a body 10, a panel 20 provided on the side of the body 10, the panel 20 being connected to the body 10 via an electric hinge assembly 30, and the operation of the electric hinge assembly 30 being controlled to make the panel 20 open or closed.

[0037] Specifically, the unit body 10, serving as the support and housing component of the entire air conditioning system, has a reserved space on its side for mounting the panel 20. The panel 20 is manufactured according to the air conditioner's design dimensions and functional requirements. The panel 20 is typically made of a material with sufficient strength and sealing properties, such as metal sheet or composite plastic sheet, to ensure it protects the internal components of the air conditioner and effectively isolates it from the external environment. A suitable electric hinge assembly 30 is selected, which includes a motor, transmission mechanism, and hinge structure. The electric hinge assembly 30 is installed in the reserved space on the side of the unit body 10, ensuring it is securely installed and accurately positioned. Then, the panel 20 is connected to the unit body 10 via the electric hinge assembly 30. During the connection process, a tight fit between the panel 20 and the electric hinge assembly 30 must be ensured, allowing the electric hinge assembly 30 to flexibly rotate the panel 20. Simultaneously, the electrical wiring is connected, linking the motor of the electric hinge assembly 30 to the air conditioner's control system to control the operation of the hinge assembly.

[0038] In the air conditioning control system, a dedicated module is set up to control the operation of the electric hinge assembly 30. This module can be implemented through hardware circuits or software programs. The hardware circuits may include components such as relays and sensors to receive control signals and drive the motor. The software programs can precisely control the rotation direction and angle of the motor according to preset logic and instructions. After installation, the control system of the electric hinge assembly 30 is debugged. By sending control signals to the control system, it is tested whether the panel 20 can open and close as expected. During the debugging process, if the rotation angle of the panel 20 is found to be inaccurate or the rotation speed is not up to standard, the parameters of the control system need to be adjusted, such as adjusting the motor drive current and the pulse width of the control signal, until the panel 20 can accurately and stably achieve the automatic opening and closing function.

[0039] When air conditioner maintenance is required, especially for water pipe maintenance, maintenance personnel send a command to the control system to open panel 20 via the air conditioner's control panel, remote control, or remote control terminal. Upon receiving the command, the control system activates the motor driving the electric hinge assembly 30. The motor, through a transmission mechanism, rotates the hinge structure, causing panel 20 to open. During the opening process, sensors monitor the rotation status of panel 20 in real time to ensure a smooth and safe opening. After maintenance is completed, the maintenance personnel send another command to the control system to close panel 20. The control system drives the motor to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the hinge structure to rotate in the opposite direction, gradually resetting and closing panel 20. Similarly, during the closing process, sensors monitor the position and status of panel 20 in real time. When panel 20 is fully closed and meets the sealing requirements, the control system stops the motor, completing the entire maintenance operation.

[0040] In other words, panel 20 is connected to body 10 via electric hinge assembly 30. Controlling the electric hinge assembly 30 opens or closes panel 20. During maintenance, simply controlling the electric hinge assembly 30 automatically opens panel 20, providing a convenient access for maintenance of components such as water pipes. After maintenance, controlling the electric hinge assembly 30 again automatically closes panel 20. This automated opening and closing eliminates the tedious steps of manually disassembling and installing panel 20, significantly shortening maintenance time, improving maintenance efficiency, reducing downtime in the base station equipment room due to maintenance, and ensuring the stable operation of the communication base station. Furthermore, the automatic opening and closing of panel 20 via electric hinge assembly 30 reduces manual operation, lowers reliance on the skills and time of professional technicians, and effectively reduces labor costs. In addition, improved maintenance efficiency means the base station equipment room can resume normal operation more quickly, reducing operational losses due to maintenance and further lowering overall operation and maintenance costs. In addition, maintenance personnel can control the electric hinge assembly 30 remotely via a remote control terminal to remotely open and close the panel 20. This function is particularly useful in special circumstances, such as when maintenance personnel cannot directly reach the air conditioning site, or when multiple air conditioners need centralized maintenance and management. Remote control can greatly improve the convenience and flexibility of operation. The air conditioner's control panel or remote control is equipped with a dedicated panel opening and closing control button. The operation interface is simple and intuitive, allowing maintenance personnel to easily master the operation method without complex training, reducing operational difficulty and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, in traditional air conditioning maintenance, frequent manual disassembly and installation of the panel 20 may cause certain damage to the panel 20 and related connecting parts. Over time, this can easily lead to problems such as loosening and poor sealing, affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment. This air conditioning maintenance structure uses the electric hinge assembly 30 to achieve automatic opening and closing of the panel 20, reducing physical intervention by manual operation and lowering the risk of damage to the equipment due to improper operation. At the same time, the automated opening and closing process is more stable and precise, helping to maintain the overall structural and performance stability of the equipment, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment, and reducing the repair and replacement costs caused by equipment failure.

[0041] In one embodiment, the panel 20 includes a first panel 21 and a second panel 22. The first panel 21 is connected to one end of the body 10 via the electric hinge assembly 30, and the second panel 22 is connected to the other end of the body 10 via the electric hinge assembly 30. All the electric hinge assemblies 30 are controlled to work simultaneously so that the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are in an open or closed state.

[0042] Specifically, the electric hinge assemblies 30 are installed at the reserved positions at both ends of the unit body 10, ensuring secure installation and accurate positioning. The first panel 21 is connected to one end of the unit body 10 via a set of electric hinge assemblies 30, and the second panel 22 is connected to the other end of the unit body 10 via another set of electric hinge assemblies 30. During installation, attention should be paid to adjusting the installation angle and position of the electric hinge assemblies 30 so that the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 can fit tightly against the unit body 10 when closed, forming a good sealing effect. In addition, all electric hinge assemblies 30 are electrically connected to the air conditioner's control system. Bus communication can be used to connect each electric hinge assembly 30 to the main control board of the control system for centralized control. At the same time, corresponding sensors, such as position sensors and limit switches, are set in the control system to monitor the opening and closing status of the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 in real time, ensuring the safety and reliability of the control system. Furthermore, a control program is written in the control system software to achieve simultaneous control of all electric hinge assemblies 30. By programming control commands, when the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 need to be opened, the control system sends the same drive signal to all the electric hinge assemblies 30, causing them to start working simultaneously and rotate the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 to open. When the panel 20 needs to be closed, the control system sends a reverse drive signal, causing the electric hinge assemblies 30 to rotate the panel 20 in the opposite direction to close it. During programming, the handling of abnormal situations also needs to be considered. For example, if a certain electric hinge assembly 30 malfunctions, the control system should be able to detect it promptly and take corresponding measures, such as stopping the operation of other components or issuing an alarm signal.

[0043] In other words, by controlling all the electric hinge components 30 to work simultaneously, the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 can be opened at the same time, exposing a larger space inside the air conditioner unit 10. This facilitates maintenance personnel to conduct comprehensive inspections, repairs, and maintenance of various components inside the air conditioner, such as water pipes, circuits, and fans, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance. Furthermore, since only one control command is needed to open and close both panels 20 simultaneously, the number of steps required by maintenance personnel is reduced, lowering the complexity of operation and the possibility of errors. Additionally, the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are connected to both ends of the unit 10, forming a symmetrical sealing structure when closed. This design ensures a more uniform and tight seal, effectively reducing air leakage and dust ingress caused by poor sealing, thus improving the energy efficiency and operational stability of the air conditioner. Moreover, with the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 installed at both ends of the unit 10, the force on the electric hinge components 30 is more even during opening and closing, avoiding structural deformation or damage caused by excessive force on one side. This uniform stress distribution helps improve the stability and reliability of the entire air conditioning maintenance structure, reducing the number of malfunctions and repairs caused by structural problems.

[0044] In one embodiment, the electric hinge assembly 30 includes a first connecting plate 31, a second connecting plate 32, and a torque motor 33. The torque motor 33 is provided with an output shaft 331. The torque motor 33 is connected to the first connecting plate 31, and the output shaft 331 passes through the second connecting plate 32 to form a transmission connection. The first connecting plate 31 is connected to the body 10, and the second connecting plate 32 is connected to the first panel 21 or the second panel 22.

[0045] Specifically, the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are staggered. Bearings are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the first connecting plate 31. The torque motor 33 is connected to the first connecting plate 31, and its output shaft 331 first passes through the upper bearing, then through the second connecting plate 32, and finally connects to the lower bearing. Furthermore, the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are manufactured according to the size, weight, and design requirements of the air conditioner body 10 and the panel 20. High-strength metal materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, can be used to ensure they can withstand various forces and torques during the opening and closing of the panel 20. The shapes of the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are designed as a staggered structure. The staggered portion is rationally designed according to transmission requirements and spatial layout to ensure sufficient movement space between them and a stable connection. In addition, a suitable torque motor 33 is selected based on the weight of the panel 20, the required opening and closing speed, and the required torque. The torque motor 33 should have sufficient output torque to drive the second connecting plate 32 and the panel 20 to rotate smoothly. Simultaneously, the dimensions, power, and speed of the torque motor 33 must be considered to ensure it can be installed on the first connecting plate 31 and is compatible with the overall structure. The first connecting plate 31 is fixed to the machine body 10 using bolts or other connectors, ensuring it is securely installed and accurately positioned. The second connecting plate 32 is connected to the first panel 21 or the second panel 22 using bolts or welding, ensuring a tight connection so that rotation of the second connecting plate 32 accurately drives the opening and closing of the panel 20.

[0046] In other words, the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are staggered, and the output shaft 331 is supported by bearings at both ends. This structure effectively reduces the shaking and vibration of the output shaft 331 during rotation, ensuring transmission stability. The use of bearings reduces the friction between the output shaft 331 and the connecting plate, reducing energy loss and extending the service life of the component. The output shaft 331 of the torque motor 33 directly passes through the second connecting plate 32 to form a transmission connection, reducing intermediate transmission links, improving transmission efficiency and reliability, and avoiding transmission failures caused by wear or loosening of intermediate transmission components, ensuring that the panel 20 can accurately open and close according to control commands. In addition, the staggered arrangement of the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32, along with the compact bearing installation method, makes the overall structure of the electric hinge assembly 30 more compact and space-saving. Furthermore, the torque motor 33 has good torque characteristics and speed regulation performance, and can precisely control the rotation angle and speed of the output shaft 331 according to the instructions of the control system. This allows for precise control of the opening and closing process of the panel 20, meeting the needs of different maintenance scenarios. For example, when the panel 20 needs to be opened slowly for fine maintenance, the torque motor 33 can be controlled to rotate at a lower speed; when the panel 20 needs to be opened quickly in an emergency, the torque motor 33 can respond quickly and provide sufficient torque.

[0047] In one embodiment, a magnetic pin 34 is also connected to the side of the second connecting plate 32 facing the first connecting plate 31. The magnetic pin 34 passes through the second connecting plate 32 and is connected to the output shaft 331.

[0048] Specifically, the shape and size of the magnetic pin 34 are designed according to the structure of the second connecting plate 32 and the transmission requirements of the output shaft 331. The magnetic pin 34 is typically made of a metal material with a certain strength, such as stainless steel, to ensure it can withstand the force and torque during transmission. One end of the magnetic pin 34 is designed to connect with the output shaft 331, for example, using a square or hexagonal head that matches a corresponding groove or hole on the output shaft 331 to achieve a reliable transmission connection; the other end is designed as a magnetic part, which can use a built-in magnet or be made entirely of magnetic material to provide magnetic attraction during subsequent maintenance operations. The magnetic pins 34 need to be manually installed by maintenance personnel. After all the magnetic pins 34 are installed, the control system activates the maintenance mode. At this time, the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are in a closed state. Then, the control system controls the torque motor 33 to work, which drives the magnetic pins 34 and the second connecting plate 32 to rotate, causing the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 to slowly open.

[0049] In one embodiment, the magnetic pin 34 extends out of the second connecting plate 32. When the torque motor 33 operates, it drives the magnetic pin 34 and the second connecting plate 32 to rotate toward the first connecting plate 31 until the magnetic pin 34 abuts against the first connecting plate 31, at which point the torque motor 33 stops operating.

[0050] Specifically, when the magnetic pin 34 touches the first connecting plate 31, it sends a feedback signal to the transmission system of the torque motor 33 to stop rotating, thus serving as a limit switch. The control system reads the rotation angle of the magnetic pin 34, and after the maintenance personnel have completed their work, the control system rotates it in the opposite direction by the same angle, causing the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 to close, thus completing all the maintenance work.

[0051] In other words, the design that the torque motor 33 stops working when the magnetic pin 34 abuts against the first connecting plate 31 serves as a precise limit, effectively preventing the torque motor 33 from driving the panel 20 to rotate excessively. This prevents the panel 20 from colliding with the body 10 or other components, protecting the panel 20, body 10, and internal components, and reducing component damage and repair costs caused by collisions. This limiting method eliminates the need for maintenance personnel to manually intervene in the opening and closing position of the panel 20, reducing safety risks caused by misjudgment or improper operation during maintenance and improving the overall safety of maintenance operations. Furthermore, by reading the rotation angle of the magnetic pin 34 through the control system and rotating it in the opposite direction at the same angle to close the panel 20, the control system ensures that the opening and closing angle of the panel 20 is consistent each time, guaranteeing the accuracy of the panel 20's opening and closing. This is crucial for applications with strict requirements on opening and closing positions, such as those requiring good ventilation inside the air conditioner or precise coordination with other equipment. In addition, precise limit and angle control eliminates the need for maintenance personnel to spend extra time and effort adjusting the opening and closing position of panel 20, enabling them to perform maintenance quickly and accurately, improving maintenance efficiency, shortening air conditioner downtime, and reducing the impact on production or use.

[0052] In one embodiment, both the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are provided with an opening groove 211, and the two opening grooves 211 are connected to form a mounting cavity for water inlet and outlet pipes to pass through.

[0053] Specifically, by providing openings 211 on the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 to form mounting cavities, the inlet and outlet water pipes can pass through the inside of the panel 20 instead of wrapping around the outside of the panel 20, greatly saving installation space inside the air conditioner. This allows for a more rational layout of other components inside the air conditioner, improving the utilization rate of internal space and reducing the overall size of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the mounting cavities facilitate the planning of water pipes, electrical circuits, and other wiring inside the air conditioner. Water pipes can be arranged separately from other wiring, reducing interference between circuits and improving the stability and reliability of air conditioner operation; at the same time, it facilitates future maintenance and repair of water pipes and wiring.

[0054] In one embodiment, the mounting cavity is further provided with a rubber component 40, and the inlet and outlet water pipes pass through the rubber component 40 and are connected to the body 10.

[0055] Specifically, rubber materials with good elasticity, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are selected. For example, nitrile rubber has good oil resistance and wear resistance, making it suitable for air conditioning environments where it may come into contact with oil stains; silicone rubber has excellent high and low temperature resistance and aging resistance, maintaining stable performance over a wide temperature range. The appropriate rubber material is selected based on the specific operating environment and requirements of the air conditioner. The rubber component 40 can be designed with an opening to facilitate the passage of water pipes. The opening can be designed in a flared shape for easy insertion and positioning of the water pipe. Furthermore, the surface of the rubber component 40 can be designed with raised areas or textures to increase friction between it and the inner wall of the mounting cavity, improving installation stability.

[0056] When air conditioner maintenance is required, the maintenance personnel manually remove the rubber component 40 from the mounting cavity. Due to the good elasticity of the rubber component 40, its edges can be gently squeezed to separate it from the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and then it can be carefully removed. After the rubber component 40 is removed, the maintenance personnel can control the opening or closing of the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 via the control system to perform the corresponding maintenance work. Since the connection position of the inlet and outlet water pipes to the unit 10 remains unchanged and is always in a free state (after the rubber component 40 is removed), it is not affected by the opening and closing of the panel 20, thus avoiding the risk of being cut. After completing the work, the maintenance personnel reinstall the rubber component 40 into the mounting cavity. Again, by manually pressing or using a special tool, the rubber component 40 is made to fit tightly against the inner wall of the mounting cavity, ensuring that the inlet and outlet water pipes are once again wrapped and protected by the rubber component 40.

[0057] In other words, the presence of the rubber component 40 provides effective protection for the inlet and outlet water pipes during the opening and closing of the first panel 21 and the second panel 22. Since the inlet and outlet water pipes are always within the rubber component 40, the softness and elasticity of the rubber component 40 can buffer the friction and impact forces that may be generated when the panel 20 is opened and closed, preventing the inlet and outlet water pipes from being cut or worn, thus extending the service life of the water pipes. Furthermore, maintenance personnel only need to manually remove the rubber component 40 from the mounting cavity before maintenance and manually reinstall it after maintenance, making the operation simple and convenient. This design eliminates the need for complex disassembly and reconnection of the inlet and outlet water pipes, greatly simplifying the maintenance process and saving maintenance time and labor costs.

[0058] In one embodiment, both the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 are connected to at least two of the electric hinge assemblies 30.

[0059] Specifically, the simultaneous operation of multiple electric hinge assemblies 30 evenly distributes the weight of the panel 20 across all hinge components, preventing any single hinge component from bearing excessive load. This ensures the panel 20 remains stable during opening and closing, reducing the possibility of wobbling and tilting, and improving the stability of the panel 20's opening and closing. Furthermore, the panel 20 may be affected by external factors such as wind and vibration during opening and closing. The coordinated operation of multiple electric hinge assemblies 30 enhances the panel 20's anti-interference capability, enabling it to complete opening and closing actions more stably and preventing abnormal situations caused by external interference. Additionally, the simultaneous power output of multiple electric hinge assemblies 30 provides greater driving force, allowing the panel 20 to complete opening and closing actions more quickly. Compared to a single electric hinge assembly 30, the coordinated operation of multiple hinge assemblies significantly shortens the opening and closing time of the panel 20, improving the efficiency of air conditioner maintenance or use. Through precise control of the control system, multiple electric hinge assemblies 30 can achieve synchronous operation, avoiding energy waste and time delays caused by asynchronous actions. Synchronous opening and closing also reduces friction and collision between the panel 20 and the body 10, further improving opening and closing efficiency. In addition, the use of multiple electric hinge assemblies 30 constitutes a redundant design. When one electric hinge assembly 30 fails, the other hinge assemblies can still continue to operate, ensuring that the panel 20 can complete the opening and closing action, thus improving system reliability. This redundant design reduces the risk of the entire system failing due to the failure of a single component, reducing maintenance time and costs.

[0060] In one embodiment, the body 10 is further provided with an operation screen 50, which is electrically connected to the electric hinge assembly 30. Clicking the operation screen 50 controls the operation of the electric hinge assembly 30.

[0061] Specifically, an intuitive and concise operating interface should be designed in the software system of the operating panel 50. The interface should include buttons or icons related to controlling the operation of the electric hinge assembly 30, such as "Open Panel" and "Close Panel." Simultaneously, some prompts or status display areas can be set up to facilitate maintenance personnel's understanding of the opening and closing status of the panel 20 and the operating status of the electric hinge assembly 30. In addition, software programs should be written to implement the function of controlling the operation of the electric hinge assembly 30 by clicking the buttons or icons on the operating panel 50. The program should be able to accurately identify the operation commands of the maintenance personnel and convert them into corresponding control signals, which will be sent to the electric hinge assembly 30. During the programming process, the handling of various abnormal situations should be considered, such as electric hinge assembly 30 failure, communication interruption, etc., to ensure the stability and reliability of the system. According to actual needs, relevant parameters of the electric hinge assembly 30, such as opening and closing speed and angle, should be set. These parameters can be modified and adjusted through the operating panel 50 to meet the usage habits of different maintenance personnel and on-site requirements.

[0062] In other words, by centrally controlling the operation of the electric hinge assembly 30 through the operation panel 50, maintenance personnel do not need to search for other control devices or perform complex operations around the unit 10. They can simply click the corresponding button on the operation panel 50 to control the opening and closing of the panel 20, greatly improving the convenience of operation. The intuitive interface design of the operation panel 50 allows maintenance personnel to easily understand the operation methods and steps, and even those without professional knowledge can quickly get started. At the same time, the status display area on the interface allows maintenance personnel to know the opening and closing status of the panel 20 in real time, further enhancing the intuitiveness and controllability of operation. In addition, the electrical connection and software programming between the operation panel 50 and the electric hinge assembly 30 realize intelligent control. The system can automatically control the opening and closing of the control panel 20 according to the preset program or the instructions of the maintenance personnel, without manual intervention, improving the intelligence and automation level of the air conditioner.

[0063] This utility model also discloses an air conditioner, including the air conditioner maintenance structure described above.

[0064] Specifically, by setting up an air conditioning maintenance structure, the panel 20 is connected to the body 10 via an electric hinge assembly 30. Controlling the operation of the electric hinge assembly 30 allows the panel 20 to be opened or closed. When maintenance is required, simply controlling the electric hinge assembly 30 will automatically open the panel 20, providing a convenient passage for the maintenance of components such as water pipes. After maintenance, controlling the electric hinge assembly 30 again will automatically reset and close the panel 20. This automated opening and closing method eliminates the tedious steps of manually disassembling and installing the panel 20, greatly shortening maintenance time, significantly improving maintenance efficiency, reducing downtime in the base station equipment room due to maintenance, and ensuring the stable operation of the communication base station. In addition, the automatic opening and closing of the panel 20 via the electric hinge assembly 30 reduces manual operation, lowers the dependence on the skills and time of professional technicians, and effectively reduces labor costs. Furthermore, the improved maintenance efficiency means that the base station equipment room can resume normal operation more quickly, reducing operational losses caused by maintenance and further reducing overall operation and maintenance costs.

[0065] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
