Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner outdoor unit condensers, specifically an outdoor unit condenser installation assembly. Background Technology
[0002] The condenser of the outdoor unit of an air conditioner is the core component of the refrigeration system. It consists of copper tubes, aluminum fins, and a fan. It cools the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a liquid state through heat conduction and convection, and releases heat to the outside. Its performance directly affects the cooling efficiency and energy consumption of the air conditioner. Common faults include dust blockage, fin deformation, or refrigerant leakage, which can lead to poor heat dissipation and reduced cooling effect. The main types of condensers are shell and tube type and plate type.
[0003] Currently, condensers installed on outdoor air conditioning units are all bolted. However, a problem exists in the actual installation process: when fixing the condenser to the outdoor unit with bolts, it is difficult to initially position the condenser. Operators need to adjust the bolt mounting points on the condenser to align with the mounting points on the outdoor unit, resulting in poor installation convenience and low assembly efficiency. Therefore, the inventor urgently needs to design a condenser quick positioning mechanism to improve the ease of condenser installation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an outdoor unit condenser installation component to solve the technical problems of difficult bolt alignment and cumbersome operation in the installation process of air conditioner outdoor unit condensers.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an outdoor unit condenser mounting assembly, comprising a condenser body, wherein the lower part of the condenser body is movably connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit casing via the mounting assembly, the mounting assembly comprising a support workpiece and a mounting slide rail, the support workpiece comprising a connecting part and a snap-fit part, two sets of support workpieces being mirror-mounted on the bottom of the condenser body, and grooves being formed on the lower inner side of the two sets of support workpieces, the support workpieces sliding through the grooves to adapt to and slide against the protrusions above the mounting slide rails to limit the position of the condenser, the mounting slide rails being welded and fixed to the inner wall of the air conditioner outdoor unit casing.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, two sets of mirror-mounted support workpieces are bolted to the bottom of the condenser body to form a symmetrical force structure, which significantly improves the load-bearing stability. At the same time, the sliding fit mechanism between the inner groove of the support workpiece and the mounting slide rail protrusion allows the condenser body to move along a predetermined path during installation, reducing the tediousness of manual hole-fixing operations.
[0007] Furthermore, one of the supporting workpieces is mounted to the mounting slide rail bolts by fastening bolts, the fastening bolts being self-tapping bolts.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the self-tapping bolts are used to fasten the workpiece on one side, so that the installation process can be carried out in stages: after the snap-fit side is quickly positioned, only a single bolt is needed for locking, which greatly reduces the fastening operation time.
[0009] Furthermore, the snap-fit part has an inclined structure, and a straight groove is formed on the surface of the snap-fit part, through which the fastening bolt passes to support the workpiece.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined structure of the snap-fit part generates a downward component force when it contacts the mounting slide rail, causing the supporting workpiece to automatically sink and fit, compensating for the gap caused by manufacturing tolerances.
[0011] Furthermore, a snap-fit piece is fixedly provided on another snap-fit part of the supporting workpiece, and a snap-fit groove is formed on one side of the mounting slide rail. The supporting workpiece is engaged with the mounting slide rail through the snap-fit piece and the snap-fit groove.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a snap-fit structure of snap-fit piece and snap-fit groove is added to the workpiece on the opposite side, so that the condenser can be snapped into the installation slide rail instantly, achieving the initial positioning effect of one push and lock.
[0013] Furthermore, the condenser body includes several fins, copper tubes are inserted through the fins, and mounting side plates are installed on both sides of the fins.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is clear that the main body of the condenser is composed of fins, copper tubes and double-sided mounting plates, forming a modular body. The core heat exchange function is integrated through the standardized design of fins inserted into copper tubes.
[0015] Furthermore, a shock-absorbing pad is provided between the supporting workpiece and the mounting side plate, and the connecting part is bolted to the mounting side plate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the shock-absorbing pads are filled between the supporting workpiece and the mounting side plate, and the elastic material absorbs the high-frequency vibration energy transmitted by the compressor, thereby reducing the noise of the equipment.
[0017] Furthermore, a guide ramp is fixedly provided on one side of the card slot to guide the card contact piece to the inside of the card slot.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined surface setting of the guide plate generates a deflection force when the snap-fit piece contacts, forcibly correcting the installation angle deviation and ensuring accurate insertion into the groove.
[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0020] This utility model uses an installation component, a sliding rail, and a groove-protrusion guide structure to allow the condenser body to slide along a predetermined path, replacing manual alignment of bolt holes. When the condenser is pushed in, the snap-fit piece of the snap-fit part is automatically guided into the slot by the inclined surface of the guide plate, completing the initial positioning. At the same time, the single-sided self-tapping bolt passes through the straight groove of the snap-fit part and is tightened to the installation rail. The snap-fit piece and the slot form a double fixation, simplifying the traditional multi-point bolt tightening to a single push-in plus single-point locking, eliminating the repeated adjustment process.
[0021] This invention uses shock-absorbing pads to absorb high-frequency vibrations from the compressor between the workpiece and the mounting side plate, blocking the resonance transmission path and preventing fatigue cracking of the copper tube. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] In this embodiment:
[0029] An outdoor unit condenser mounting assembly, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the device includes a condenser body 1, which is movably connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit casing via an installation assembly 2. The installation assembly 2 includes support components and an installation slide rail 204. The support components consist of a connecting part 201 and a snap-fit part 202. Two sets of support components are mirror-mounted on the bottom of the condenser body 1. Grooves are formed on the inner side of the bottom of the two sets of support components. The support components slide through the grooves and adapt to the protrusions on the upper part of the installation slide rail 204 to restrict the position of the condenser. The installation slide rail 204 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the air conditioner outdoor unit casing. The two sets of mirror-mounted support components are bolted to the bottom of the condenser body 1 to form a symmetrical force-bearing structure, which significantly improves the load-bearing stability. At the same time, the sliding cooperation mechanism between the grooves on the inner side of the support components and the protrusions of the installation slide rail 204 allows the condenser body 1 to move along a predetermined path during installation, reducing the tediousness of manual hole-fixing operations. In addition, the welding and fixing method of the installation slide rail 204 to the air conditioner outdoor unit casing avoids the risk of loosening of traditional bolt fixing and ensures the reliability of long-term operation of the equipment.
[0030] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 One of the supporting components is installed on the mounting slide rail using a 204 bolt fastening bolt. The fastening bolt is a self-tapping bolt, limiting the use of self-tapping bolts on only one side of the supporting component. This allows the installation process to be carried out in stages: after quick positioning on the snap-fit side, only a single bolt is needed for locking, significantly reducing the fastening operation time. At the same time, the cutting characteristic of the self-tapping bolt eliminates the need for pre-drilling threaded holes, allowing it to directly penetrate the slide rail and the supporting component. This reduces processing complexity and avoids installation failures caused by thread misalignment, making it particularly suitable for batch installation scenarios. The operator only needs to operate the electric drill with one hand to complete the final fixing, significantly improving assembly efficiency.
[0031] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The snap-fit part 202 has an inclined structure and a straight groove on its surface. The fastening bolt passes through the straight groove to support the workpiece. When the inclined structure of the snap-fit part 202 contacts the mounting slide rail 204, it generates a downward component force, causing the support workpiece to automatically sink and fit, compensating for the gap caused by manufacturing tolerances. At the same time, the straight groove on its surface provides a dynamic guide channel for the self-tapping bolt: during the fine-tuning and positioning of the condenser, the bolt can slide freely along the straight groove, and then be tightened after the position is determined. This double fault-tolerant mechanism of sliding first and then locking completely solves the rework problem caused by hole position misalignment in traditional installation.
[0032] See Figure 3 , Figure 4Another supporting workpiece has a snap-fit piece 203 fixedly installed on the snap-fit part 202. A slot 205 is formed on one side of the mounting slide rail 204. The supporting workpiece is engaged with the mounting slide rail 204 through the snap-fit piece 203 and the slot 205. The opposite supporting workpiece is equipped with an interlocking structure of snap-fit piece 203 and slot 205, so that the condenser is pushed into the mounting slide rail 204 and is engaged instantly, achieving the initial positioning effect of one push and lock. At the same time, this toolless fixing method complements the bolt fastening side: the snap-fit side bears the vibration load, and the bolt side only needs to provide auxiliary constraint force, reducing the probability of bolt loosening. This asymmetrical design improves the disassembly and maintenance efficiency by more than double while ensuring the connection strength.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The condenser body 1 includes several fins 101, with copper tubes 102 inserted through them. Mounting side plates 103 are installed on both sides of the fins 101. The condenser body 1 is a modular body composed of fins 101, copper tubes 102 and mounting side plates 103 on both sides. The standardized design of fins 101 with copper tubes 102 through them realizes the integration of the core heat exchange function. At the same time, the mounting side plates 103 provide a reference mounting surface for supporting the workpiece. Their large-area rigid contact characteristics can evenly distribute the vibration of the equipment to the damping system on both sides, avoiding the deformation of the fins 101 caused by stress concentration at a single mounting point, and ensuring long-term stable heat exchange efficiency.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A damping pad 208 is installed between the supporting workpiece and the mounting side plate 103. The connecting part 201 is bolted to the mounting side plate 103. The damping pad 208 fills the space between the supporting workpiece and the mounting side plate 103. The elastic material absorbs the high-frequency vibration energy transmitted by the compressor, thereby reducing the noise of the equipment. At the same time, the bolted connection between the connecting part 201 and the mounting side plate 103 forms a double vibration isolation interface: the first layer dissipates vibration through the pad, and the second layer suppresses resonance through the bolt preload, thus preventing refrigerant leakage caused by micro-cracks in the condenser copper tube 102 due to fatigue vibration.
[0035] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 A guide ramp 206 is fixedly provided on one side of the slot 205 to guide the snap-fit piece 203 to the inside of the slot 205. The ramp of the guide ramp 206 causes the snap-fit piece 203 to generate a deflection force when it contacts, which forcibly corrects the installation angle deviation and ensures accurate insertion into the slot. At the same time, the guide structure and the slot 205 form a "trumpet mouth" type guide channel. Even if there is an assembly misalignment, the snap-fit piece 203 can still slide into the slot 205 along the ramp to complete the locking, which greatly reduces the technical requirements of the operator for high-precision installation.
[0036] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the mounting slide rail 204 is welded and fixed to the lower part of the inner wall of the air conditioner outdoor unit box. The condenser body 1 is composed of fins 101, copper tubes 102 inserted therein, and mounting side plates 103 on both sides. Two sets of mirror-symmetrical support workpieces are installed at the bottom by bolts. The groove on the inner side of the support workpiece and the protrusion on the upper part of the mounting slide rail 204 form a sliding guide structure.
[0037] During installation, the operator pushes the condenser body 1 horizontally along the mounting slide rail 204:
[0038] 1. Left side positioning: The snap-fit part 202 supporting the workpiece automatically slides into the snap-fit groove 205 of the mounting slide rail 204 under the guidance of the inclined surface of the guide plate 206 through the snap-fit piece 203, thus completing the initial snap-fit fixation;
[0039] 2. Right-side fastening: The snap-fit part 202 supporting the workpiece on the other side is aligned with the mounting slide rail 204 through a straight groove, and self-tapping bolts are used to tighten through the straight groove to achieve final locking.
[0040] During the process, the shock-absorbing pads 208 set between the supporting workpiece and the mounting side plate 103 can buffer vibration. Through the guiding cooperation of the slide rail protrusion and groove, combined with the automatic alignment of the snap-fit piece 203 and the snap-fit groove 205, the tediousness of manually adjusting the bolt hole position is reduced, and the installation efficiency is significantly improved.
