A bolt body 6 is screwed into the positioning screw hole 5 and the positioning screw groove.
[0023] The air source heat pump body 2, as the core component, includes components such as a compressor, heat exchanger, and fan. The soundproof enclosure 7 is made of composite sound insulation material, with an inner layer of sound-absorbing cotton (e.g., density 32kg / m³). 3The heat pump body is constructed with polyester fiber sound-absorbing cotton and an outer layer of sound insulation board (such as a 5mm thick damping sound insulation board). This multi-layer structure effectively absorbs and blocks the mid-to-high frequency noise generated during heat pump operation. The dustproof frame 8 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Its size is customized according to the size of the air source heat pump body 2 output port, and is usually 5-10cm larger than the outer edge of the output port to ensure complete coverage.
[0024] Specific data: Assuming the output port size of the air source heat pump body 2 is 50cm×50cm, the dustproof frame 8 is designed to be 60cm×60cm, and the height of the soundproof cover 7 is set to 30-50cm according to the noise reduction requirements;
[0025] The dustproof mesh 9 is made of stainless steel with a mesh size of 80-120, effectively filtering dust particles larger than 0.1-0.2mm in diameter while ensuring smooth airflow. The mounting block 10 and mounting groove 11 are fitted with a clearance fit; the width of the mounting block 10 is 0.5-1mm smaller than the width of the mounting groove 11 for easy installation and removal. The lengths of the mounting block 10 and mounting groove 11 are determined based on the width of the dustproof mesh 9, and are generally 2-3cm shorter than the width of the dustproof mesh 9.
[0026] Specific data: If the width of the dustproof mesh 9 is 50cm, then the length of the insert block 10 and the insert groove 11 is designed to be 47-48cm, the width of the insert block 10 is 1.5cm, and the width of the insert groove 11 is 2cm.
[0027] In some technical solutions, the side wall of the mounting block 10 is provided with a storage cavity, and a positioning rod 13 is installed inside the storage cavity. The side wall of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a positioning hole 14, and the positioning rod 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 14.
[0028] The storage cavity accommodates the positioning rod 13, allowing it to retract into the insert block 10 when not in use. The positioning rod 13 is made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 5-8 mm. Its length is determined by the thickness of the insert block 10 and the insert groove 11, generally being 5-10 mm longer than the sum of their thicknesses to ensure sufficient fixing strength after insertion into the positioning hole 14. The diameter of the positioning hole 14 is the same as that of the positioning rod 13, and its depth is 2-3 mm deeper than the insertion length of the positioning rod 13.
[0029] Specific data: If the total thickness of the insert block 10 and the insert groove 11 is 2cm, then the length of the positioning rod 13 is designed to be 3-3.5cm, and the depth of the positioning hole 14 is 2.2-2.3cm.
[0030] In some technical solutions, a spring 12 is fitted on the outside of the positioning rod 13 between the insert block 10 and the insert groove 11, and the end of the positioning rod 13 is rounded.
[0031] Spring 12 is a compression spring made of stainless steel wire with a wire diameter of 1-1.5mm and an outer diameter of 8-10mm. Its free length is determined based on the installation space, typically 2-3cm. The elastic coefficient of spring 12 is determined through calculation and testing to ensure that the positioning rod 13 can be stably inserted into the positioning hole 14 under the action of the spring, and can easily retract during disassembly. The fillet radius at the end of the positioning rod 13 is 1-2mm to facilitate insertion into the positioning hole 14 and reduce friction and wear.
[0032] Specific data: Spring 12 has a wire diameter of 1.2mm, an outer diameter of 9mm, and a free length of 2.5cm; the end radius of the positioning rod 13 is 1.5mm.
[0033] In some technical solutions, a circular groove 61 is provided at the bottom end of the bolt body 6, and a bolt rod 63 is installed at the bottom end of the circular groove 61. The bolt rod 63 is screwed into the positioning screw hole and the positioning screw groove.
[0034] The bolt body 6 is made of high-strength alloy steel with a tensile strength of not less than 800MPa. The diameter of the circular groove 61 is 2-3mm larger than the diameter of the bolt shank 63, and the depth is determined according to the installation requirements of the bolt shank 63, generally 5-8mm, to accommodate the bolt shank 63 and related sealing and fixing components. The thread specification of the bolt shank 63 is determined according to the size of the positioning screw hole and the positioning screw groove, commonly M8-M12 specifications, with a pitch of 1.25-1.5mm to ensure connection strength and stability.
[0035] Specific data: If the dimensions of the positioning screw hole and positioning screw groove are compatible with M10 bolts, then the thread specification of bolt shank 63 is M10 with a pitch of 1.5mm, and the diameter of the round groove 61 is 12-13mm with a depth of 6-7mm.
[0036] In some technical solutions, a retaining ring 66 is installed on the upper outer end of the bolt rod 63, and an annular pressure plate 65, a spring 67 and an annular rubber sheet 62 are fitted on the circumferential surface of the bolt rod 63.
[0037] A retaining ring 66 is welded to the bolt rod 63 to limit the positions of the annular pressure plate 65, spring 67, and annular rubber sheet 62. The annular pressure plate 65 is made of stainless steel with a thickness of 1-1.5mm. Its inner diameter is the same as the bolt rod 63, while its outer diameter is determined based on the installation space and sealing requirements, generally 5-8mm larger than the diameter of the positioning bolt hole. The spring 67 is a compression spring with a wire diameter of 0.8-1.2mm, an outer diameter of 6-8mm, and a free length of 3-4cm. Its function is to provide elastic pressure, ensuring that the annular rubber sheet 62 fits tightly against the connection point, enhancing the seal. The annular rubber sheet 62 is made of nitrile rubber with a thickness of 2-3mm, exhibiting good oil resistance and sealing properties.
[0038] Specific data: Annular pressure plate 65 has a thickness of 1.2mm, an inner diameter of 10mm, and an outer diameter of 18mm; Spring 67 has a wire diameter of 1mm, an outer diameter of 7mm, and a free length of 3.5cm; Annular rubber sheet 62 has a thickness of 2.5mm.
[0039] In some technical solutions, an extrusion block 64 is installed at the upper edge of the annular rubber sheet 62, and an arc surface 68 is provided on the outer wall of the prestressed bolt body 6, and the surface of the arc surface 68 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0040] The compression block 64 is made of the same nitrile rubber material as the annular rubber sheet 62, with a height of 3-5mm and a width of 5-8mm. Its function is to further compress the annular rubber sheet 62 during bolt tightening, enhancing the sealing effect. The arc surface 68 on the outer wall of the bolt body 6 reduces stress concentration and improves the bolt's fatigue resistance. The radius of curvature of the arc surface 68 is determined according to the bolt size, generally 3-5mm. The anti-slip texture is processed using a straight-knurling process, with a knurling depth of 0.2-0.3mm and a spacing of 1-1.5mm, facilitating bolt tightening and loosening by operators.
[0041] Specific data: Extrusion block 64 height 4mm, width 6mm; outer wall arc surface 68 of bolt body 6 with radius of curvature 4mm; anti-slip texture depth 0.25mm, spacing 1.2mm.
[0042] In some technical solutions, the bottom of the air source heat pump body 2 is equipped with a support base 1, and the four corners of the bottom of the support base 1 are equipped with casters 3, and the casters 3 are equipped with brakes.
[0043] The support base 1 is welded from Q235B steel with a thickness of 8-10mm. Its dimensions are determined based on the size of the air source heat pump body 2, and it is usually 10-15cm larger than the outer edge of the bottom of the body to provide stable support. The casters 3 are heavy-duty polyurethane casters with a single load-bearing capacity of no less than 200kg and a diameter of 100-125mm. They are equipped with a double-brake system to ensure the safety of the equipment during movement and fixing.
[0044] Specific data: The thickness of the support base 1 is 9mm. If the bottom size of the air source heat pump body 2 is 80cm×80cm, then the size of the support base 1 is designed to be 95cm×95cm; the diameter of the caster wheel 3 is 100mm, and the single load-bearing capacity is 250kg.
[0045] Working process and principle:
[0046] The core operation of an air source heat pump: Inside the main body 2, the compressor compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant then enters the heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the outside air, releasing heat and condensing into a liquid state. The liquid refrigerant, after being depressurized by a throttling device, enters the evaporator to absorb heat from the air, re-vaporizing into a gaseous refrigerant. This cycle repeats continuously, transferring heat from a low-temperature environment to a high-temperature environment, achieving the purpose of heating or cooling. During this process, a fan propels air through the heat pump, ensuring efficient heat exchange.
[0047] Noise Reduction Process: The soundproof enclosure plays a crucial role in noise reduction. Its inner layer of polyester fiber sound-absorbing cotton utilizes a porous structure. When sound waves generated by the heat pump are introduced, the sound waves are continuously reflected and refracted in the pores, rubbing against the sound-absorbing cotton material and converting sound energy into heat energy, thereby absorbing mid-to-high frequency noise. The outer layer of damping sound insulation board, through its own damping characteristics, hinders the propagation of sound waves, attenuates noise energy, reduces the intensity of noise diffusion outward, and creates a quiet atmosphere for the surrounding environment.
[0048] Dust prevention process: When outside air enters the air source heat pump body 2, it first passes through the dustproof mesh plate 9 at the top of the dustproof frame 8. The stainless steel mesh plate 9, with its fine 80-120 mesh openings, can effectively intercept dust particles and debris with a diameter greater than 0.1-0.2mm in the air, preventing them from entering the heat pump and avoiding wear on core components such as the compressor and heat exchanger caused by dust, thus ensuring the normal operation and service life of the heat pump.
[0049] Dustproof mesh panel installation and disassembly principle: When installing the dustproof mesh panel 9, align the insert block 10 with the insert groove 11 and insert it. During insertion, the rounded corners at the end of the positioning rod 13 make it easier for the insert block 10 to enter the insert groove 11. After the insert block 10 is fully embedded in the insert groove 11, the positioning rod 13 pops out under the elastic force of the spring 12 and inserts into the positioning hole 14, realizing the quick positioning and fixing of the dustproof mesh panel 9. When disassembling, simply press the positioning rod 13 to make it retract into the storage cavity against the elastic force of the spring 12, and the dustproof mesh panel 9 can be pulled out from the dustproof frame 8 for easy cleaning and replacement.
[0050] The connection principle between the noise reduction cover and the heat pump body: The limiting ring plate 4 of the noise reduction cover 7 is connected to the air source heat pump body 2 via the bolt body 6. Align the bolt rod 63 with the positioning screw hole 5 and the positioning screw groove, and rotate the bolt body 6; the bolt rod 63 gradually screws in. During tightening, the annular rubber sheet 62 first contacts the connection part. As the bolt is further tightened, the annular pressure plate 65, under the action of the spring 67, applies pressure to the annular rubber sheet 62, making it tightly fit against the connection part, thus sealing it and preventing noise leakage from the connection gap. Simultaneously, the extrusion block 64 further compresses the annular rubber sheet 62 under the bolt tightening force, enhancing the sealing effect. The arc surface 68 and anti-slip texture design on the outer wall of the bolt body 6 not only reduce stress concentration and improve the bolt's fatigue resistance but also facilitates tightening and disassembling of the bolt by operators, ensuring the stability and convenience of the connection.
[0051] Equipment movement and fixing principle: When it is necessary to move the air source heat pump, release the brake on the caster 3. Since the caster 3 can rotate freely 360°, the operator can easily push the equipment to change its position. After the equipment is moved to the designated position, step on the brake on the caster 3. The double brake system is activated to fix the caster 3. The bearing base 1 provides stable support for the air source heat pump body 2, ensuring that the equipment will not be displaced during operation.
