Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a temporary assembly structure for air conditioners that facilitates saving transportation space. Background Technology

[0002] Evaporative air coolers utilize the principle of water evaporation and heat absorption to achieve rapid cooling. Existing evaporative air coolers typically consist of a base, a top cover, supporting prisms connecting the four corners of the base and top cover, and side panels and water curtains installed between the base and top cover. An example is the evaporative air cooler with notification number CN203893338U. To ensure sufficient space within the air cooler for evaporative heat absorption, the distance between the base and top cover is usually about twice the distance between the top surface of the fan (composed of a motor and fan blades) and the top cover. However, this structure results in a larger space requirement for transport, reducing the amount of space that can be transported per vehicle or container. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more easily understood, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 5

[0023] A temporary assembly structure for an air conditioner that facilitates space-saving transportation includes a disc-shaped top cover 10 and a disc-shaped base 20 with an air outlet 26 in the center. Support platforms 21 are provided at the four corners of both the top cover and the base. The support platforms on the base are higher than the bottom surface of the base. Mounting seats 30 are detachably connected to the support platforms. Vertical sleeves 31 are integrally connected to the mounting seats. Support tubes 40 are vertically inserted between the vertical sleeves of corresponding mounting seats on the base and top cover. By setting mounting seats on the support platforms used to install supporting prisms when assembling the air conditioner into a complete unit, and installing support tubes on the mounting seats between the base and top cover, a temporary connection between the base and top cover is achieved during transportation, reducing the height between the top cover and the base, thereby reducing the space occupied by the air conditioner during transportation.

[0024] In this embodiment, an annular flange 22 is provided inside the base at the air outlet. The area between the outer wall of the annular flange and the inner wall of the base forms a water receiving tray 23 to collect water sprayed by the air conditioner's water curtain. The height of the support platform on the base is higher than the bottom surface of the water receiving tray and lower than the upper edge of the base, so as to facilitate the installation of the support prisms when the complete unit is assembled, and to prevent the support prisms from contacting water.

[0025] In this embodiment, a wind duct 50 is connected to the annular flange, and a motor 52 for driving the fan blades 51 is installed inside the wind duct. After the base is temporarily assembled with the top cover via a support tube, the distance between the top surface of the motor and the lower end surface of the top cover is 0.5~1.5cm to avoid the top cover from contacting the motor during transportation and to ensure the installation distance.

[0026] In this embodiment, to better connect and position the mounting base, an arc-shaped positioning protrusion 24 for positioning the mounting base is provided on the support platform of the base. The mounting base is provided with an arc-shaped edge that matches the shape of the arc-shaped positioning protrusion, so that the arc-shaped edge of the mounting base abuts against the arc-shaped positioning protrusion, and then is locked by screws. The arc-shaped positioning protrusion also facilitates the positioning of supporting prisms when assembling the whole machine.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting base located on the base support platform is connected to the support platform by at least two screws 25. The use of screws also facilitates the disassembly of the mounting base.

[0028] In this embodiment, downward-convex arc-shaped convex plates 11 are provided at each of the four corners of the top cover, and the lower end of the arc-shaped convex plates does not exceed the bottom surface of the top cover. X-shaped ribs 12 are provided in the area enclosed between the arc-shaped convex plates and the side edges of the top cover to form a support platform for the top cover. The bottom surface of the X-shaped ribs is higher than the bottom surface of the arc-shaped convex plates, which also facilitates the positioning of the support prisms when assembling the air conditioner into a complete unit.

[0029] In this embodiment, the mounting base located on the top cover is connected to the X-shaped stiffener plate on the top cover support platform by at least two screws 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, to improve the strength of the top cover, an X-shaped reinforcing rib 14 is provided on the bottom surface of the top cover. The ends of the X-shaped reinforcing ribs are integrated with the arc-shaped protrusions on the corresponding corners. The bottom surface of the top cover is also provided with at least two rings of rectangular reinforcing ribs 15 that intersect with the X-shaped reinforcing ribs. By providing X-shaped and rectangular reinforcing ribs, the strength of the top cover is improved, and it is also convenient to stack the air conditioners during transportation without the top cover deforming and damaging the motor.

[0031] In this embodiment, in order to ensure a stable connection between the support tube and the vertical sleeve during transportation, a fixing screw 32 is radially inserted through the side wall of the vertical sleeve and screwed into the support tube. This allows the support tube to be locked by the fixing screw, and also makes it convenient to remove the fixing screw when assembling the whole machine.

[0032] In this embodiment, to improve the connection strength between the vertical sleeve and the mounting base, the outer wall of the vertical sleeve is provided with reinforcing ribs 33 that are integrally connected with the mounting base at intervals along the circumferential direction. The end of the vertical sleeve is provided with a bevel 34 to facilitate the insertion of the support tube into the vertical sleeve.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support tube is a plastic tube, and both the top cover and the base are made of plastic. Specifically, the plastic can be PVC material.

[0034] During transportation, the air conditioner's filter side panels and evaporative cooling pads are removed and stacked. Mounting brackets are secured with screws at the four corners (on the support platform) of the mounting support prisms on the base and top cover, which are used for assembling the complete unit. Support tubes are then inserted into and locked onto the mounting brackets on the base. The vertical sleeves of the mounting brackets on the top cover are then connected to and locked onto the support tubes. This temporary assembly structure reduces the air conditioner's height to half the height of the assembled unit, minimizing space occupation. Upon arrival at the destination, the support tubes and mounting brackets are removed, facilitating the subsequent assembly of the air conditioner's filter side panels and evaporative cooling pads to form the complete unit.

[0035] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws) or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting or welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).

[0036] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.

[0037] Any component provided by this utility model can be assembled from multiple individual components, or it can be a single component manufactured by a one-piece molding process.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
