Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] An air conditioner housing for easy maintenance includes a housing 1. An L-shaped bracket 2 is symmetrically and movably arranged in the upper side plate of the housing 1. A movable groove 12 is formed in the upper side plate of the housing 1, and the upper part of the movable groove 12 communicates with the outside. The L-shaped bracket 2 slides along the movable groove 12. Screws 5 are symmetrically and rotatably connected to both sides of the housing 1 via bearings. One end of the screw 5 is threaded through the lower end of the L-shaped bracket 2, and the other end of the screw 5 extends to the outside of the housing 1 and is fixedly provided with an adjusting handle 51. A handle 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the upper outer casing 1. A ventilation window is provided on one side of the outer casing 1 (not shown in the figure). A top cover 3 is provided on the top of the outer casing 1. A sealing gasket is provided between the outer casing 1 and the top cover 3. Connecting slots 31 are symmetrically opened on both sides inside the top cover 3. The upper end of the L-shaped bracket 2 is connected to the connecting slot 31. By manually turning the screws 5 on both sides counterclockwise, the L-shaped bracket 2 is moved towards the interior of the moving groove 12, so that the upper end of the L-shaped bracket 2 is removed from the connecting slot 31. The top cover 3 can be removed from the top of the outer casing 1 for maintenance of the fan equipment inside the outer casing 1. Compared to removing multiple screws, this method is more convenient. The handle 11 protects the adjusting handle 51. A front plate 4 with an exhaust window 42 is located on the front side of the outer casing 1. When maintenance of the fan equipment inside the outer casing 1 is required, the adjusting handle 51 can be manually rotated counterclockwise to rotate the screw 5. The rotation of the screw 5 moves the L-shaped bracket 2 towards the moving slot. The internal movement of 12 allows the upper end of the L-shaped bracket 2 to be removed from the connecting slot 31, thus removing the top cover 3 from the top of the outer casing 1. This allows for maintenance of the fan equipment and other components inside the outer casing 1 from above. After maintenance, the top cover 3 is placed on top of the outer casing 1, and the adjusting handle 51 is manually rotated clockwise to rotate the screw 5. The rotation of the screw 5 causes the L-shaped bracket 2 to move outward, allowing the upper end of the L-shaped bracket 2 to engage with the connecting slot 31. This allows the top cover 3 to be quickly installed on top of the outer casing 1.
[0022] A maintenance window 13 is provided on the outer shell 1 on the rear side of the front panel 4. A positioning protrusion 41 is fixedly provided on the rear side of the front panel 4, and the positioning protrusion 41 is connected to the maintenance window 13. An L-shaped bracket 6 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the rear side of the front panel 4, and the L-shaped bracket 6 is fixedly provided on the positioning protrusion 41. The front panel 4 is fixed to the front side of the outer shell 1 by an inverted U-shaped bracket 7. Limiting grooves 14 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the maintenance window 13. The two ends of the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 slide along the limiting grooves 14 on both sides, and the two ends of the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 protrude from the limiting grooves 14. The rear end of the L-shaped bracket 6 is hooked on the inverted U-shaped bracket 7. The middle part of the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 is higher than the top of the exhaust window 42, which can prevent the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 from obstructing the exhaust of the fan. By lifting the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 upward, the two ends of the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 are moved above the L-shaped bracket 6, and the front panel 4 can be removed from the outer shell 1. The front panel 4 can be removed from the front of the housing 1, allowing maintenance of the fan equipment inside the housing 1 through the inspection window 13. This makes maintenance easier for personnel. After the top cover 3 is opened, the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 can be pulled upwards along the limiting slide groove 14 from the inside, so that the lower end of the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 moves above the L-shaped hook seat 6. The front panel 4 can then be removed from the front of the housing 1. At this time, personnel can also perform maintenance on the fan equipment inside the housing 1 through the inspection window 13. After maintenance, the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 can be manually pulled upwards along the limiting slide groove 14 to the highest position. Then, the positioning protrusion 41 is placed in the inspection window 13, and the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 is moved downwards, so that the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 moves along the limiting slide groove 14 to the lowest position. At this time, the rear end of the L-shaped hook seat 6 is hooked onto the inverted U-shaped bracket 7, and the front panel 4 can be installed and fixed on the front of the housing 1.
[0023] Working principle: When maintenance is required on the fan equipment inside the outer casing 1, the adjusting handle 51 can be manually turned counterclockwise to rotate the screw 5. The rotation of the screw 5 will move the L-shaped bracket 2 towards the inside of the moving groove 12, so that the upper end of the L-shaped bracket 2 is removed from the connecting slot 31. The top cover 3 can then be removed from the top of the outer casing 1, allowing maintenance on the fan equipment inside the outer casing 1 from above. After the top cover 3 is opened, the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 can be pulled upwards along the limiting slide groove 14 from the inside, so that the lower end of the inverted U-shaped bracket 7 moves above the L-shaped mounting base 6. The front plate 4 can then be removed from the front of the outer casing 1. At this time, personnel can also access the fan inside the outer casing 1 through the inspection window 13. After maintenance of the equipment, the U-shaped bracket 7 can be manually pulled up along the limiting slide groove 14 to the highest position. Then, the positioning protrusion 41 is placed in the inspection window 13, and the U-shaped bracket 7 is moved down to the lowest position along the limiting slide groove 14. At this time, the rear end of the L-shaped mounting bracket 6 is attached to the U-shaped bracket 7, and the front plate 4 can be installed and fixed on the front side of the outer shell 1. Then, the top cover 3 is placed on the top of the outer shell 1, and the adjusting handle 51 is manually turned clockwise to drive the screw 5 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 5 can drive the L-shaped bracket 2 to move outward, so that the upper end of the L-shaped bracket 2 is inserted into the connecting slot 31, and the top cover 3 can be quickly installed on the top of the outer shell 1.
