Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air source heat pump water heaters, specifically to a partition structure and its air source heat pump water heater. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing hot water supply equipment field, air source heat pump water heaters have become an important technological solution to replace traditional boilers due to their significant energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics. This equipment uses an environmentally friendly refrigerant as the heat transfer medium and extracts low-grade heat energy from ambient air using the reverse Carnot cycle principle. After the compressor performs work, it can stably output domestic hot water at temperatures above 50°C. Its application scenarios cover multiple fields such as commercial venues (hotels, hair salons, bath centers), public facilities (schools, indoor swimming pools), and industrial production, demonstrating good market adaptability.
[0003] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, it is an air source heat pump water heater. To prevent the top fan from stealing air, two independent systems are symmetrically arranged inside. A gap is left between the two independent systems to form an installation space 4. Each independent system includes a bottom water receiving tray 1, a U-shaped condenser assembly 2 connected to the top of the water receiving tray, and a partition 3 connected to the opening of the U-shaped condenser assembly 2 and connected to the water receiving tray 1. The water receiving tray 1, the U-shaped condenser assembly 2, and the partition 3 are arranged in a trough structure. The partition 3 has connecting ears on both sides along its height direction for connecting to the U-shaped condenser assembly 2. The connecting ears are fixed to the U-shaped condenser assembly 2 by multiple self-tapping screws arranged vertically at intervals.
[0004] During the assembly process between the partition 3 and the U-shaped condenser assembly 2, since the depth of each independent system is at least 1.5 meters, workers need to jump into the independent system, which increases the difficulty of operation and reduces production efficiency; in addition, the inner side of the independent system has several sharp fins, which can easily scratch workers and damage the air source heat pump water heater. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a partition structure and its air source heat pump water heater, so as to solve the problems that the partition is relatively difficult to operate, relatively inefficient and relatively unsafe during the assembly of the U-shaped condenser assembly.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a partition structure connected between two U-shaped condenser assemblies in an air source heat pump water heater, including a partition body and two connecting sides arranged vertically for corresponding connection with the two U-shaped condenser assemblies. Each connecting side is provided with a plurality of snap fasteners spaced apart along its length direction. Each snap fastener is provided with a snap hole opened on the corresponding U-shaped condenser assembly for limiting and fixing after it is inserted.
[0007] The second aspect of this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an air source heat pump water heater, including the partition structure as described in the first aspect of this utility model.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0009] When assembling the partition structure and the two U-shaped condenser assemblies in this air source heat pump water heater, multiple clips on the two connecting sides are inserted one-to-one into the multiple clip holes on the two U-shaped condenser assemblies to restrict and fix them, so that the partition structure is arranged at the opening of the two U-shaped condenser assemblies to separate them. The operation is relatively convenient, without the need to enter the inside of the U-shaped condenser assemblies, which improves the assembly efficiency and safety between the U-shaped condenser assemblies and the partition structure.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments:
[0020] like Figures 4-8 As shown, this utility model embodiment proposes a partition structure, which is connected between two U-shaped condenser assemblies 2 in an air source heat pump water heater. It includes a partition body 5 and two connecting sides arranged vertically for corresponding connection with the two U-shaped condenser assemblies 2. Each connecting side is provided with a plurality of snap fasteners 6 spaced apart along its length. Each snap fastener 6 is provided with a snap hole 7 opened on the corresponding U-shaped condenser assembly 2 for limiting and fixing after it is inserted.
[0021] During installation, this air source heat pump water heater is assembled between the two U-shaped condenser assemblies 2 and the water tray 1. Then, holding the top of the partition body 5, slide it between the openings of the two U-shaped condenser assemblies 2. Multiple clips 6 on the two connecting sides are inserted into the multiple clip holes 7 on the two U-shaped condenser assemblies 2 to fix them in place. This allows the partition structure to be arranged at the openings of the two U-shaped condenser assemblies 2 for separation. The operation is relatively convenient, as it does not require entering the inside of the U-shaped condenser assemblies 2, thus improving the assembly efficiency and safety between the U-shaped condenser assemblies 2 and the partition structure.
[0022] To better understand this solution, the following section will optimize the structure of the snap-fit 6 and the partition body 5.
[0023] First is the snap fastener 6.
[0024] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the partition structure includes each of the snap fasteners 6, which includes a connecting part 61 and a limiting part 62. The connecting part 61 is connected to the corresponding connecting side; the limiting part 62 is connected to the connecting part 61 and forms an angle with the connecting part 61.
[0025] In this embodiment, the snap-fit hole 7 is specifically formed on the fin end plate 21 of the U-shaped condenser assembly 2. Each snap-fit hole 7 is a strip-shaped hole arranged in the vertical direction to fit well with the snap-fit 6.
[0026] When the buckle 6 is engaged with the buckle hole 7, it is as follows:
[0027] The limiting part 62 passes through the corresponding buckle hole 7 and then moves downward to the buckle 6. The connecting part 61 passes through the buckle hole 7, and the limiting part 62 abuts against the side wall of the fin end plate 21 away from the connecting side to limit and fix it.
[0028] The included angle is 90°. This allows the limiting part 62 to fit more tightly against the sidewall of the fin end plate 21 away from the connecting side, thus limiting and fixing it. In this embodiment, the buckle 6 is a block structure, and the connecting part 61 and the limiting part 62 are arranged in an "L" shape.
[0029] To facilitate the fitting of the limiting part 62 through the corresponding snap hole 7, the end of the limiting part 62 away from the connecting part 61 is formed into a pointed structure by inserting an inclined surface.
[0030] Secondly, there is the partition body 5.
[0031] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the partition structure includes a first system shielding surface section 51, a second system shielding surface section 52, and a transition section 53. The first system shielding surface section 51 is coplanar with the plane containing the opening of one of the U-shaped condenser assemblies 2, and one connecting side is disposed on the first system shielding surface section 51. The second system shielding surface section 52 is coplanar with the plane containing the opening of the other U-shaped condenser assembly 2, and the other connecting side is disposed on the second system shielding surface section 52. The transition section 53 connects the first system shielding surface section 51 and the second system shielding surface section 52.
[0032] In this embodiment, the partition body 5 is mainly composed of a first system shielding surface section 51, a second system shielding surface section 52, and a transition and turning surface section 53, which are connected to the openings of the two U-shaped condenser assemblies 2. This allows the air source heat pump water heater to form two independent systems with only one partition body 5, the water receiving tray 1, and the two U-shaped condenser assemblies 2, reducing the amount of partition 3 used. Furthermore, the first system shielding surface section 51 and the second system shielding surface section 52 both have installation spaces 4 on the side away from the corresponding U-shaped condenser assembly 2, providing the space required for the installation of the auxiliary structures that cooperate with the U-shaped condenser assembly 2.
[0033] Specifically, the first system shielding surface segment 51, the second system shielding surface segment 52, and the transition turning surface segment 53 are arranged in a "Z" shape, and the angle between the transition turning surface segment 53 and the first system shielding surface segment 51 and the second system shielding surface segment 52 is 135°, so as to make reasonable arrangement.
[0034] To improve the connection stability of the partition body 5, connecting ears 54 are formed at the bottom and top of the first system shielding surface section 51 and the second system shielding surface section 52. After the U-shaped condenser assembly 2 and the partition body 5 are assembled between the snap-fit 6 and the snap-fit hole 7, screws are used on the bottom side of the water receiving tray 1 to thread-fix the connecting ears 54 formed on the bottom of the first system shielding surface section 51 and the second system shielding surface section 52. Screws are also used on the top side of the air source heat pump water heater to thread-fix the connecting ears 54 formed on the top of the first system shielding surface section 51 and the second system shielding surface section 52. This improves the assembly stability of the partition body 5, eliminates the need to enter the independent system formed by the water receiving tray 1, the U-shaped condenser assembly 2 and the partition structure, and improves assembly efficiency and safety.
[0035] The connecting lug 54 has multiple threaded holes to allow screws to pass through for threaded connection.
[0036] The above-mentioned partition structure is applied to air source heat pump water heaters, such as... Figure 4 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the air source heat pump water heater includes the partition structure described in any of the above embodiments.
[0037] The partition structure is assembled as follows:
[0038] A force is applied to the first system shielding surface section 51 and the second system shielding surface section 52 in the direction of the transition turning surface section 53, so that the partition structure undergoes a certain elastic deformation (the partition structure can be made of aluminum plate or other metal materials and has a certain elastic deformation capability), so that the partition structure can move downward between the corresponding two fin end plates 21 until the snap-fit 6 and the corresponding snap-fit hole 7 are aligned one by one.
[0039] When the force applied to the first system shielding section 51 and the second system shielding section 52 is removed, the partition structure recovers its elastic deformation, and the buckle 6 passes through the buckle hole 7 one by one.
[0040] Next, move the partition structure downward until the bottom of the partition structure contacts and abuts against the water receiving tray 1. At this time, the limiting part 62 of the buckle 6 is limited and fixed on one side of the corresponding buckle hole 7.
[0041] Then, screws can be used to connect the water tray 1 below and the top of the air source heat pump water heater to the corresponding connecting lugs 54 on the partition structure.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
