[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a sound-absorbing cotton installation device for air conditioning units, applicable to air conditioning units in rail vehicles. The air conditioning unit includes a housing, within which an indoor cavity and an outdoor cavity are separated by a partition. A layer of sound-absorbing cotton is installed on the inner surface of the housing to reduce the noise generated during operation of the air conditioning unit, thereby improving passenger comfort. This sound-absorbing cotton installation device is used to fix the sound-absorbing cotton 1 to the inner surface of the air conditioning unit housing 2.

[0033] The air conditioning unit sound-absorbing cotton installation device provided in this embodiment includes a sound-absorbing cotton 1 with adhesive backing, which is fixed to the inner surface of the air conditioning unit housing 2 by adhesive bonding. The sound-absorbing cotton 1 is also simultaneously fixed to the housing 2 by several thermal insulation nails 3. In this way, the sound-absorbing cotton 1 is both adhesively bonded to the housing 2 and securely connected to the housing 2 by several thermal insulation nails 3, providing a secondary protection function for the sound-absorbing cotton 1. This ensures the stability and reliability of the sound-absorbing cotton, effectively preventing it from falling off or shifting during long-term use, and guaranteeing the noise reduction effect of the rail vehicle air conditioning unit.

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, multiple insulation nails 3 are arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions on the shell 2, with a spacing between 300-400mm. This ensures the number of fixed connection points between the sound-absorbing cotton 1 and the shell 2, guarantees a firm connection between the sound-absorbing cotton 1 and the shell 2, and ensures the sound absorption effect.

[0035] In this embodiment, the thermal insulation nail 3 consists of a panel 31 and a nail rod 32. During installation, the panel 31 is attached to the inner surface of the shell 2. A pressure plate 5 is installed above the panel 31. The pressure plate 5 passes through the nail rod 32 and is fixedly connected to the shell 2. The panel 31 is placed between the pressure plate 5 and the shell 2. The pressure plate 5 is used to fix the panel 31 to the shell 2 by pressing. The nail tip 33 of the thermal insulation nail 3 passes through the sound-absorbing cotton 1. One end of the thermal insulation nail 3 that passes through the sound-absorbing cotton 1 is then fixed with a nail head 4, thereby fixing the sound-absorbing cotton 1 between the nail head 4 and the pressure plate 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, the insulation nail 3 is fixed to the shell 2 by pressing with the pressure plate 5. The insulation nail 3 and the shell 2 do not need to be fixed by additional fasteners or welding. This not only facilitates the fixing, installation and replacement of the insulation nail 3 and improves the installation and replacement efficiency, but also ensures the fixing effect of the insulation nail 3 and ensures that the insulation nail 3 will not move after installation, thus ensuring the sound absorption effect of the sound-absorbing cotton.

[0037] Meanwhile, since the insulation nail 3 does not need to be fixedly connected to the shell 2, the installation device can be applied to shells of different materials. That is, for shells 2 of different materials in different projects, such as those where the insulation nail 3 cannot be installed by welding or riveting, the sound-absorbing cotton 1 can be installed using this device, which is highly versatile.

[0038] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the pressure plate 5 is fixed to the housing 2 by riveting, so as to facilitate the installation of the pressure plate 5 and ensure that the installation is firm.

[0039] In this embodiment, more preferably, the pressure plate 5 is a rectangular flat plate structure, preferably made of stainless steel, with a central through hole 51 through which the nail rod 32 passes. The diameter of the central through hole 51 is smaller than the diameter of the panel 31. Thus, after the nail rod 32 passes through the central through hole 51, the pressure plate 5 can be pressed tightly against the top of the panel 31. A mounting hole 52 is provided on each side of the central through hole 51, and a rivet 6 is installed at each mounting hole 52 to fix it to the housing 2. The mounting point of the rivet 6 is located on the outer side of the panel 31.

[0040] In this embodiment, the nail head 4 is a disc shape with an arc-shaped apex, which helps to reduce the impact on the wind field after installation. The diameter of the disc of the nail head 4 is 10-40mm, more preferably 20-40mm, and has a central inner hole 41 at the center of the disc. The diameter of the central inner hole 41 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the nail rod 32. The nail rod 32 and the nail head 4 are fixed by an interference fit. Furthermore, multiple installation slots 42 are arranged radially around the central inner hole 41. In this embodiment, four installation slots 42 are provided. During installation, the central inner hole 41 of the nail head 4 is inserted along the tip 33 of the insulation nail 4. Since the diameter of the central inner hole 41 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the nail rod 32, the nail head 4 will deform at the installation slots 42 during insertion under the action of the four installation slots 42. This not only facilitates the insertion of the nail head 4 into the insulation nail 3, but also, after insertion, can tightly lock the nail head 4 onto the nail rod 42 of the insulation nail 4, ensuring that the nail head 4 will not fall off even when the vehicle vibrates during use.

[0041] In this embodiment, the installation process of the sound-absorbing cotton 1 is as follows:

[0042] 1. Mark the installation positions of the insulation nails 3 on the inner surface of the shell 2 by scribing, and pre-install two rivets 6 for each marked point.

[0043] 2. At each marked point, place an insulation nail 3 and pass a pressure plate 5 through the nail rod 32.

[0044] 3. Insert the two mounting holes 52 on the pressure plate 5 into the two rivet cores, install the rivets with the rivet installation tool, and fix the pressure plate 5 to the housing 2 together. At this time, the pressure plate 5 presses the panel 31 of the insulation nail 3 onto the housing 2.

[0045] 4. Lay the sound-absorbing cotton 1 with adhesive backing flat on the surface of the housing 2 and stick it to the inner surface of the air conditioner housing 2 with adhesive backing. At the same time, several heat-insulating nails 3 pierce the sound-absorbing cotton 1, and the other end protrudes from the other side of the sound-absorbing cotton 1.

[0046] 5. Install nail caps 4 on the part of the insulation nail 3 that protrudes from the sound-absorbing cotton 1.

[0047] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0048] In this installation device, in addition to being fixed to the housing 2 by adhesive backing, the sound-absorbing cotton 1 is also fixed to the housing 2 by several thermal insulation nails 3, which provides secondary protection for the sound-absorbing cotton 1, ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation of the sound-absorbing cotton 1. This can effectively prevent the sound-absorbing cotton 1 from falling off and shifting during long-term use, and ensure the noise reduction effect of the rail vehicle air conditioning unit.

[0049] In this installation device, the insulation nail 3 is fixed to the shell 2 by pressing with the pressure plate 5. The insulation nail 3 and the shell 2 do not need to be fixed by additional fasteners or welding. This not only facilitates the fixing, installation and replacement of the insulation nail 3 and improves the efficiency of installation and replacement, but also ensures the fixing effect of the insulation nail 3 and ensures that the insulation nail 3 will not move after installation, thereby ensuring the sound absorption effect of the sound-absorbing cotton 2.

[0050] In addition, since the insulation nail 3 does not need to be fixedly connected to the shell 2, but is only fixed by the pressure plate 5, the installation device can be used for shells of different materials, and can be used for various track air conditioning systems, making it highly versatile.

[0051] Example 2:

[0052] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, in order to enable the pressure plate 5 to better press the panel 31, a recessed receiving cavity (not shown in the figure) is further provided on one side of the pressure plate 5 (the side facing the housing 2 during installation). The depth of the receiving cavity is less than the thickness of the pressure plate 5. The shape and size of the receiving cavity match the panel 31 of the insulation nail 3. The diameter of the receiving cavity is greater than the diameter of the central through hole 51. The central through hole 51 is located in the center of the receiving cavity.

[0053] During installation, the panel 31 is precisely embedded in the receiving cavity of the pressure plate 5, and the nail rod 32 passes through the central through hole 51 of the pressure plate 5. In this way, the surface of the pressure plate 5 can be completely fitted with the surface of the housing 2, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the fixation between the pressure plate 5 and the housing 2.

[0054] Example 3:

[0055] The difference from Embodiments 1 and 2 is that, in this embodiment, in order to further enhance the connection between the insulation nail 3 and the sound-absorbing cotton 1, a backstop structure (not shown in the figure) is provided on the nail rod 32. The backstop structure consists of multiple barbs on the nail rod 32. The barbs are umbrella-shaped, with the central axis of the umbrella shape coinciding with the central axis of the nail rod 32. The tips of the barbs face the nail tip 33 of the insulation nail 3. The multiple barbs are arranged sequentially along the length of the nail rod 32. For example, two barbs can be provided on the nail rod 32. The barbs and the nail rod 32 are made of the same metal material in one piece, which helps to reduce production costs.

[0056] After the insulation nail 3 is inserted into the sound-absorbing cotton 1, the two barbs can effectively hook the sound-absorbing cotton 1, which helps to further enhance the connection between the insulation nail 3 and the sound-absorbing cotton 1 and prevent the sound-absorbing cotton 1 from falling off and shifting during vehicle operation.

[0057] Example 4:

[0058] In this embodiment, a rail vehicle air conditioning unit is provided, including a housing 2. An indoor cavity and an outdoor cavity (not shown in the figure) are separated within the housing 2 by a partition. Components such as an evaporator and a blower are installed in the indoor cavity, while a compressor, a condenser, and a condenser fan are installed in the outdoor cavity. A layer of sound-absorbing cotton 1 is fixed to the inner surface of the housing 2, and the sound-absorbing cotton 1 is fixed to the housing 2 by the sound-absorbing cotton mounting device provided in the above embodiment.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
