Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-cooled heat pump air conditioning technology, and in particular to a frame structure for an air-cooled heat pump air conditioning unit. Background Technology

[0002] A heat pump unit is a circulating system consisting of a compressor, heat exchanger, and absorber. Air-cooled heat pump units are small to medium-sized units, generally suitable for buildings ranging from 200 to 10,000 square meters. When in use, the internal system combines the heat source and cold source, making it more suitable for users with heating and cooling needs. Moreover, the air-cooled system replaces the cooling water system, making it more suitable for water-scarce areas.

[0003] A frame structure for an air-cooled heat pump unit, disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN213542889U, includes a base plate, vertical beams, and a top plate. A fan is installed at the top of the top plate, and a vertical beam is installed at the corner of the bottom of the top plate. The base plate is installed at the bottom of the mounting structure. This structure can prevent the condensate from freezing and sealing the drain hole of the water tray when the air-cooled heat pump unit is operating at low temperatures. At the same time, the ice baffle, crossbeams, and panel form a semi-enclosed structure to enclose the entire system components, improving the protection level of the entire system components. It can also reduce the overall noise of the unit by 3 to 5 decibels, thereby achieving the protective performance of the air-cooled heat pump unit frame.

[0004] However, compared with existing technologies in related fields, during unit assembly, the length of the unit needs to be changed as the cooling capacity changes. This results in the same sheet metal structure, but the sheet metal length cannot be standardized. Sometimes, it is even necessary to add holes to distinguish the sheet metal. Moreover, if too much or too little sheet metal is made, it cannot be effectively utilized or made up for, which has a certain impact on the unit cost and completion date. Furthermore, for large-capacity units, the sheet metal needs to be welded to achieve the required length, making sheet metal processing complex and slow, and affecting the integrity, cost, and aesthetics of the sheet metal. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and provide a frame structure for an air-cooled heat pump air conditioning unit.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a frame structure for an air-cooled heat pump air conditioning unit, including a frame structure component, wherein multiple V-shaped coil components and a compressor are installed inside the frame structure component; the frame structure component includes a first column, a second column, a third column, a side connecting plate, a middle connecting plate, a first long middle beam, a second long middle beam, a third long middle beam, a short middle beam, a long middle beam connecting plate, a long top beam, and a channel steel base.

[0007] Preferably, there are two of each of the first and third columns, and multiple of the second columns, with an even number of second columns. The second columns are positioned between the first and third columns, and the two first columns, multiple second columns, and two third columns are symmetrically fixed on the channel steel base.

[0008] Preferably, the first long central beam, the second long central beam, and the third long central beam are fixedly installed between the first column, the second column, and the third column via the long central beam connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the short middle beam is fixedly installed between two adjacent first columns.

[0010] Preferably, there are multiple long upper beams, and the multiple long upper beams are respectively fixedly installed on the top of the first column, the second column and the third column.

[0011] Preferably, two side connecting plates and multiple intermediate connecting plates are fixedly installed at the top of the multiple long upper beams. The side connecting plates are disposed on both sides of the top of the frame structure assembly, and the V-shaped coil assembly is fixedly installed between the two side connecting plates and the multiple intermediate connecting plates.

[0012] Preferably, a first protective plate, a second protective plate, and a third protective plate are fixedly installed on both sides of the third column, and the first protective plate, the second protective plate, and the third protective plate enclose the compressor between the two third columns.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] The frame structure of this air-cooled heat pump air conditioning unit allows for modular processing of the top sheet metal and coil components, effectively improving assembly efficiency and sheet metal versatility, reducing the types of sheet metal, and achieving the required length without welding. Furthermore, the sheet metal fixing holes are located inside the unit, making the unit structure more robust and aesthetically pleasing. By utilizing the unit's own sheet metal structure and adding a few protective plates, the compressor can be sealed around its perimeter, effectively reducing the cost of compressor sound insulation.

[0022] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be further set forth in the description which follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and in part will be obvious from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a frame structure of an air-cooled heat pump air conditioning unit includes a frame structure assembly, inside which multiple V-shaped coil assemblies 4 and a compressor 16 are installed; the frame structure assembly includes a first column 1, a second column 2, a third column 3, a side connecting plate 5, a middle connecting plate 6, a first long middle beam 7, a second long middle beam 8, a third long middle beam 9, a short middle beam 10, a long middle beam connecting plate 11, a long upper beam 12, and a channel steel base 17.

[0024] There are two first columns 1 and two third columns 3. There are multiple second columns 2, with an even number of each. The second columns 2 are positioned between the first columns 1 and the third columns 3. The two first columns 1, multiple second columns 2, and two third columns 3 are symmetrically fixed to the channel steel base 17. The first long middle beam 7, the second long middle beam 8, and the third long middle beam 9 are fixed to the first columns 1, the second columns 2, and the third columns 3 respectively via long middle beam connecting plates 11. The short middle beam 10 is fixed between two adjacent first columns 1. There are multiple long upper beams 12. Beams 12 are fixedly installed on the tops of the first column 1, the second column 2, and the third column 3, respectively. Two side connecting plates 5 and multiple intermediate connecting plates 6 are fixedly installed on the tops of the multiple long upper beams 12. The side connecting plates 5 are set on both sides of the top of the frame structure component. The V-shaped coil assembly 4 is fixedly installed between the two side connecting plates 5 and the multiple intermediate connecting plates 6. The V-shaped coil assembly 4 can be assembled in advance without waiting for the bottom pipe welding and sheet metal fixing of the unit to be completed, thereby modularizing the top sheet metal and coil assembly of the unit. This allows the cooling capacity to be controlled by adjusting the number of V-shaped coil assemblies.

[0025] The advantages of adopting the above structure are:

[0026] Firstly, modularizing the sheet metal and coil components on the top of the unit effectively improves assembly efficiency, the versatility of sheet metal, and reduces the types of sheet metal.

[0027] Secondly, the long middle beam connecting plate 11 allows the long middle beam to reach the required length without welding, and the sheet metal fixing holes are on the inside of the unit, making the unit structure more robust and the unit appearance more beautiful.

[0028] Thirdly, the intermediate connecting plate 6 utilizes the V-shaped structure formed by the two V-shaped coil assemblies 4 leaning against each other, which effectively reduces the types of sheet metal and the space required for the unit, and improves the versatility of sheet metal.

[0029] The first guard plate 13, the second guard plate 14 and the third guard plate 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the third column 3. The first guard plate 13, the second guard plate 14 and the third guard plate 15 enclose the compressor 16 between the two third columns 3.

[0030] The advantages of adopting the above structure are:

[0031] By utilizing the unit's own sheet metal structure and adding a small number of protective plates, the compressor 16 can be sealed around its perimeter, effectively reducing the cost of sound insulation for the compressor 16.

[0032] The work process is as follows:

[0033] S1: The first column 1, the second column 2, and the third column 3 are fixed to the channel steel base 17 respectively. The first long middle beam 7, the second long middle beam 8, and the third long middle beam 9 are connected and fixed with the long middle beam connecting plate 11, and then fixed to the side of the first column 1, the second column 2, and the third column 3.

[0034] S2: The short middle beam 10 is fixed between the two first columns 1, and then the pre-assembled V-shaped coil assembly 4 is placed on the top of the first long middle beam 7, the second long middle beam 8, and the third long middle beam 9 for fixing.

[0035] S3: The side connecting plate 5 is used to fix the V-shaped coil assembly 4 between the first column 1 and the third column 3, and the middle connecting plate 6 is used to fix the V-shaped coil assembly 4 between the second columns 2.

[0036] S4: The long upper beam 12 is used for fixing the first column 1, the second column 2, and the third column 3. Then, the first guard plate 13, the second guard plate 14, and the third guard plate 15 are fixed to both sides of the third column 3, surrounding the compressor 16.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
