Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The core of this application is to provide a housing that facilitates the maintenance of the fan module, thereby effectively reducing the maintenance difficulty of the fan 11. Another core aspect of this application is to provide a chiller unit that includes the aforementioned housing and facilitates the maintenance of the fan module.

[0033] This application provides a housing for easy maintenance of a wind turbine module, including a housing body 1 and a mounting plate 2. The top of the housing body 1 has a wind turbine mounting space 101 and an inspection port 102. The inspection port 102 is located on the side of the wind turbine mounting space 101 and communicates with it. The mounting plate 2 is mounted on the top of the housing body 1 and is used to mount a wind turbine 11. The mounting plate 2 can drive the wind turbine 11 to slide into or out of the wind turbine mounting space 101 through the inspection port 102.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 As explained, the main body 1 of the casing is used to house and install the various functional components of the chiller unit. It adopts a hollow rectangular shell structure. The top part of the inner cavity of the main body 1 is reserved as the fan installation space 101. After the mounting plate 2 is installed at the target position on the top of the main body 1, the fan 11 located at the bottom of the mounting plate 2 is accommodated by the fan installation space 101. The inspection port 102 is connected to the fan installation space 101 and is located in the fan installation space 101 along the length direction of the main body 1. Figure 1 As shown, the side along the width direction, etc., and the mounting plate 2 can carry the fan 11 through the access port 102.

[0035] Mounting plate 2 is installed on the top of housing body 1, for example, it is detachably connected to and / or slidably fitted to housing body 1. When the fan 11 needs maintenance, a pulling force is applied to mounting plate 2 toward the inspection port 102 side. The mounting plate 2 carries the fan 11, causing the fan 11 to slide out through the inspection port 102 of housing body 1 to the outer side of housing body 1. Figure 2 As shown, after maintenance is completed, push the mounting plate 2 in the reverse direction to allow the driven fan 11 to slide in through the maintenance port of the main body 1 of the casing until the mounting plate 2 and the fan 11 are reset. Figure 1 As shown, in summary, using this housing facilitates the maintenance of the fan 11.

[0036] Based on the above embodiments, the mounting plate 2 can be installed on the housing body 1 by means of the support plate 4. The support plate 4 is located at the top of the housing body 1, and several support plates 4 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the housing body 1, with a fan installation space 101 between adjacent support plates 4.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 To illustrate, in order to install two or more fans 11 on the top of the main body 1, several mounting plates 2 are arranged along the length of the main body 1 on the top of the main body 1. The mounting plates 2 extend along the width of the main body 1 and are connected to the main body 1. A fan installation space 101 is left between adjacent mounting plates 2, so as to meet the installation requirements of the mounting plates 2 and the motor. The support plate 4 and the mounting plates 2 together form the top plate of the main body 1.

[0038] Based on the above embodiment, the support plate 4 is provided with a first fixed bracket 5, the mounting plate 2 is provided with a second fixed bracket 6, and both the first fixed bracket 5 and the second fixed bracket 6 have connecting through holes, and threaded fasteners can be inserted into or pulled out of the connecting through holes of the first fixed bracket 5 and the second fixed bracket 6.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As explained, a second fixing bracket 6 is installed on the mounting plate 2 using fasteners or welding machines. Correspondingly, a first fixing bracket 5 is installed on the side of the support plate 4 along the length of the main body 1 using fasteners or welding machines. When the mounting plate 2 needs to be assembled to the main body 1, after the mounting plate 2 is placed in place, the first fixing bracket 5 contacts the second fixing bracket 6. By inserting threaded fasteners into the first fixing bracket 5 and the second fixing bracket 6, a detachable connection between the mounting plate 2 and the main body 1 can be achieved. The threaded fasteners can be screws, and the connecting through holes of the first fixing bracket 5 or the second fixing bracket 6 are threaded holes. Alternatively, the threaded fasteners can also be bolts, which pass through the connecting through holes of the first fixing bracket 5 and the second fixing bracket 6 and are threaded with nuts. Conversely, when the screws or bolts are removed from the connecting through holes of the first fixing bracket 5 and the second fixing bracket 6, i.e., the first fixing bracket 5 and the second fixing bracket 6 are loosened, the fan 11 can be driven by the mounting plate 2, thus achieving the disassembly of the fan 11.

[0040] Of course, the mounting plate 2 is not limited to being connected to the support plate 4 for installation. For example, an angle steel is provided on the main body 1 of the casing, and mounting holes are opened in the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 is spliced ​​to two support plates 4 adjacent to it, and the mounting plate 2 is placed on the angle steel. The mounting plate 2 is installed by inserting fasteners into the mounting holes and through holes in the angle steel.

[0041] Based on the above embodiment, the mounting plate 2 contacts the adjacent support plate 4 on both sides along the length direction of the housing body 1, and the mounting plate 2 can slide and fit with the support plate 4 along the width direction of the housing body 1.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As explained, the width direction of the support plate 4 and the length direction of the main body 1 of the casing are both the line directions connecting the adjacent fan installation spaces 101. The width of the support plate 4 is left with a margin so that after the mounting plate 2 is placed in place, the left side of the mounting plate 2 rests on the top of the right side of the support plate 4 located to its left, and the right side of the mounting plate 2 rests on the top of the left side of the support plate 4 located to its right. When the mounting plate 2 needs to be removed, the mounting plate 2 is pulled to slide on the support plate 4, thereby removing the mounting plate 2 and the fan 11 from the main body 1 of the casing. This arrangement is beneficial to the stability when removing the mounting plate 2 and the motor.

[0043] Of course, the way the mounting plate 2 contacts the support plate 4 is not limited to the above examples. For example, in some other embodiments, the support plate 4 is provided with sliding grooves on both sides along the length direction of the main body 1 of the housing. The sliding grooves extend along the width direction of the main body 1 of the housing. Correspondingly, the mounting plate 2 is provided with a slider. The slider can slide into or out of the opening of the sliding groove near the inspection port 102, and the slider can slide in cooperation with the sliding groove.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, the first fixed bracket 5 includes a U-shaped bracket body 501 and an end plate 502. The end plate 502 is fixed to the end of the U-shaped bracket body 501 along its own length direction near the inspection port 102. The second fixed bracket 6 is an L-shaped bracket, and the first end of the second fixed bracket 6 is connected to the mounting plate 2. The second end of the second fixed bracket 6 can abut against the end plate 502, and both the end plate 502 and the second end of the second fixed bracket 6 have connecting through holes.

[0045] refer to Figure 2 As explained, in the first fixed bracket 5, the U-shaped bracket body 501 refers to a long strip-shaped groove structure with a U-shaped cross-section, and the U-shaped bracket body 501 extends along the width direction of the main body 1 of the housing; the end plate 502 is a flat plate structure, and the end plate 502 is connected to the end of the U-shaped bracket body 501 by welding, integral molding or screws, etc., and the end plate 502 is located at the end of the U-shaped bracket body 501 near the inspection port 102.

[0046] Correspondingly, the second fixed bracket 6 is an L-shaped bracket. One end of the second fixed bracket 6 is connected to the side of the mounting plate 2, and the other end extends along the length of the main body 1. When the mounting plate 2 needs to be installed at the target position of the main body 1, under the support of the support plate 4, the mounting plate 2 is pushed to slide along the width of the main body 1 until the second fixed bracket 6 it is connected to abuts against the end plate 502 of the first fixed bracket 5. The mounting plate 2 is then placed in place, and threaded fasteners are inserted into the connecting through holes of the first fixed bracket 5 and the second fixed bracket 6 to realize the assembly of the mounting plate 2 and the support plate 4.

[0047] Based on the above embodiment, the support plate 4 is provided with a positioning post 7 at the end away from the inspection port 102, and the mounting plate 2 is provided with a positioning groove 201. The positioning post 7 can slide into or out of the positioning groove 201 to position the mounting plate 2 in place.

[0048] refer to Figure 2 As explained, a positioning post 7 is provided above the support plate 4. The positioning post 7 extends along the height direction of the main body 1 of the housing and is located at the end of the support plate 4 away from the access port 102. Correspondingly, a positioning groove 201 is provided below the mounting plate 2. When the mounting plate 2 needs to be installed to the target position of the main body 1 of the housing, under the support of the support plate 4, the mounting plate 2 is pushed to slide along the width direction of the main body 1 of the housing. When the mounting plate 2 slides to the end position of its own stroke, the positioning groove 201 approaches the positioning post 7 and enters the positioning groove 201 until the positioning post 7 abuts against the bottom of the positioning groove 201. At the same time, the second fixed bracket 6 abuts against the end plate 502 of the first fixed bracket 5, and the mounting plate 2 moves into place.

[0049] Based on the above embodiment, the opening end of the positioning groove 201 has a rounded corner 202, and the positioning post 7 is a cylinder.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 As can be seen, the edge of the positioning groove 201 located on the side of the mounting plate 2 is machined with a rounded corner 202. During the process of pushing the mounting plate 2 to move along the width direction of the main body 1 of the housing, the positioning post 7 is made of a cylinder to ensure that the positioning post 7 can move smoothly into the positioning groove 201.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, the housing for easy maintenance of the fan module also includes a connector 8 and several foreign object blocking rings 9; the mounting plate 2 has vent holes and mounting posts 10, with several mounting posts 10 arranged around the vent holes; the first end of the connector 8 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting post 10, and the second end is connected to the fan 11, with the fan 11 located in the middle of the vent holes, and several connectors 8 arranged around the fan 11; the foreign object blocking rings 9 are connected to the connector 8, sleeved on the outside of the fan 11, and several foreign object blocking rings 9 are arranged concentrically from the inside to the outside, with air gaps between adjacent foreign object blocking rings 9.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As explained, a circular through hole is provided on the mounting plate 2 as a vent hole, and at least two mounting posts 10 are installed on the mounting plate 2. Several mounting posts 10 are arranged around the vent hole. Correspondingly, one end of the connector 8 is connected to the motor, and the other end of several connectors 8 is sleeved on the outside of the corresponding mounting post 10 so that the fan 11 is placed in the center of the vent hole. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the chiller unit, several foreign object blocking rings 9 are fixed above the connecting rod by welding or strapping to prevent dirt from entering the machine casing with the airflow. Several foreign object blocking rings 9 are arranged along the same center line as the vent hole. The diameter of several foreign object blocking rings 9 gradually increases from the inside to the outside, and a gap is left between adjacent foreign object blocking rings 9 as an air passage gap, which is used to allow gas flow.

[0053] It should be noted that the type of connector 8 is not limited, as long as it can meet the connection requirements. For example, it can be such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The V-shaped rod shown, or the connector 8, includes a straight rod and a ring, with the ring fixed to one end of the straight rod and the other end of the straight rod connected to the mounting plate 2.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, the housing for easy maintenance of the wind turbine module also includes a front door panel 3, which is detachably installed on the housing body 1 to close or open the inspection port 102.

[0055] refer to Figure 1 As explained, the inspection port 102 on the side of the fan installation space 101 is enclosed by the front door panel 3 of the main body 1 to prevent the mounting plate 2 from dislodging from the fan 11 it is installed in, thus ensuring the stable operation of the chiller unit.

[0056] Since the front door panel 3 is detachably installed on the top of the main body 1 of the casing, when the fan 11 needs to be maintained, the front door panel 3 should be removed first, and then the mounting plate 2 should be pulled. Conversely, after the maintenance is completed, the mounting plate 2 and the fan 11 should be floated and reset, and then the front door panel 3 can be installed back.

[0057] Furthermore, the front door panel 3 is a long strip-shaped panel, and the first end of the front door panel 3 is connected to the first end of the main body 1 along its own length direction, and the second end of the front door panel 3 is connected to the second end of the main body 1 along its own length direction.

[0058] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As explained, the front door panel 3 extends along the length of the main body 1 of the housing, and the left end of the front door panel 3 is connected to the left end of the main body 1 of the housing, and the right end of the front door panel 3 is connected to the right end of the main body 1 of the housing. When the housing is equipped with several fans 11, removing one front door panel 3 allows for the removal and installation of several fans 11, further reducing the maintenance difficulty of the fans 11.

[0059] In some specific embodiments, the front door panel 3 is connected to the main body 1 of the housing, the mounting plate 2 is connected to the main body 1 of the housing, and the support plate 4 is connected to the main body 1 of the housing by threaded fasteners.

[0060] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the type of connection mentioned above, as long as it can meet the assembly requirements between components. For example, it can be connected by screws, threaded rods and nuts, or adhesive bonding, etc. The connection methods between different components can be the same or different.

[0061] In addition to the aforementioned housing for easy maintenance of the fan module, this application also provides a chiller unit that includes the housing disclosed in the above embodiments for easy maintenance of the fan module. The structure of other parts of the chiller unit can be found in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
