Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of heat pump heating equipment, and in particular to a panel mounting structure that facilitates maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] In modern buildings, many outdoor units such as heat pumps, air conditioning units, and ventilation equipment are typically installed in stairwells or on the exterior walls of buildings. Traditional panel mounting methods usually use screws for fixing, which, while sturdy, is extremely inconvenient to operate in confined spaces.

[0003] Specifically, in the narrow corridor environment, the existing outdoor unit panel installation structure often presents difficulties for maintenance personnel when performing equipment maintenance. Due to the limited corridor space, maintenance personnel do not have enough operating space to disassemble and reinstall the panel, which not only increases maintenance time and labor intensity, but may also lead to equipment damage or injury to maintenance personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the inconvenience of disassembling and assembling existing outdoor units during maintenance in narrow building corridors, this application provides a panel mounting structure that facilitates maintenance.

[0005] The panel mounting structure provided in this application, which facilitates maintenance, adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A panel mounting structure that facilitates maintenance includes:

[0007] The front frame is fixedly equipped with a first magnetic component;

[0008] The decorative panel is detachably mounted from the front frame. The decorative panel is fixedly mounted with a second magnetic component, which is matched with the first magnetic component.

[0009] The detachable face groove is located on one side of the front frame, opposite to the decorative panel.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the front frame serves as the basic frame, supporting the decorative panel. The decorative panel is detachably connected to the first magnetic component of the front frame via its own second magnetic component, which can prevent fluid from entering the front frame and ensure that the interior of the front frame is dry. The detachable groove provides convenient operating space and guidance for the removal of the decorative panel. The operator can easily grasp the edge of the decorative panel and then apply force along the direction of the groove to remove the decorative panel from the front frame, reducing the operating space required for removing the decorative panel and improving the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the existing outdoor unit when it is repaired in narrow corridors.

[0011] Preferably, the front frame includes a frame body and a first protrusion. A through hole is provided in the middle of the frame body. The first protrusion is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the panel and protrudes from the panel. The first protrusion and the frame body form a mounting groove for inserting the decorative panel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the frame and the first protrusion together form the front frame for installing and fixing the decorative panel. A through hole is provided in the middle of the frame, allowing operators to inspect the interior of the outdoor unit after the decorative panel is removed. The first protrusion and the frame together form a mounting groove, allowing the decorative panel to be precisely placed in the mounting groove and fit tightly with the front frame. This restricts the position of the decorative panel, reduces the number of structures or parts required to disassemble the decorative panel, and further improves the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of existing outdoor units in narrow corridors.

[0013] Preferably, a sealing strip is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing strip can fill the tiny gap between the decorative panel and the front frame mounting groove, thereby achieving a sealing function, preventing external impurities such as dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the interior of the outdoor unit. When subjected to external vibration or impact, the sealing strip can play a certain buffering role, avoiding direct collision between the decorative panel and the front frame, which would reduce the sealing performance.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a second protrusion, which is integrally formed with the first protrusion, and the second protrusion extends away from the mounting groove after being bent.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the second protrusion and the outdoor unit chassis is achieved, and the front frame can be firmly fixed to the outdoor unit chassis, ensuring that the entire device will not loosen or shift due to external forces during use. This not only enhances the bonding strength between the front frame and the outdoor unit chassis, but also improves the structural stability of the entire device, enabling it to better withstand stress and vibration under various working environments.

[0017] Preferably, the first magnetic component is fixedly disposed between the frame and the second protrusion, and the first magnetic component is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the first magnetic component can match the second magnetic component on the decorative panel, thereby achieving a quick and stable connection. When disassembling the decorative panel, the first magnetic component allows operators to easily separate the decorative panel from the front frame without tools, further improving the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of existing outdoor units in narrow corridors.

[0019] Preferably, the second protrusion is provided with a hole for pipes and / or lines to pass through.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening can conveniently introduce or lead pipes and lines into or out of the device from the outside, avoiding the messy arrangement of pipes and lines on the outside, and also reducing the damage that pipes and lines may suffer during installation.

[0021] Preferably, one end of the disassembly groove is located at the lower part of the first protrusion, the end of the disassembly groove near the mounting groove is connected to the mounting groove, and the other end of the disassembly groove extends toward the second protrusion.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator needs to disassemble the decorative panel, he / she can easily insert his / her fingers into the disassembly groove, apply force from the lower part of the first protrusion, thereby conveniently separating the decorative panel and the mounting groove, and having a point of force to grasp the decorative panel.

[0023] Preferably, the decorative panel is provided with a third protrusion that extends to one side of the decorative panel. The third protrusion has a rounded corner on the side away from the decorative panel, and the second magnetic element is fixedly disposed on the side of the third protrusion close to the decorative panel.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the third protrusion extends to one side of the decorative panel, providing an additional structural support point for the decorative panel. This not only enhances the overall structural strength of the decorative panel but also provides clear guidance for its positioning within the mounting groove through its shape and position. During installation, the third protrusion guides the decorative panel accurately into the mounting groove, ensuring a tighter and more stable fit with the front frame. The second magnetic component is fixedly located on the side of the third protrusion closest to the decorative panel, allowing it to be firmly secured to the panel. Simultaneously, the structure of the third protrusion also provides some protection for the second magnetic component, preventing damage from external forces during installation or use. The side of the third protrusion furthest from the decorative panel features rounded corners, reducing the risk of sharp edges scratching the user's fingers during installation and disassembly, thus improving product safety.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. The front frame serves as the basic framework, supporting the decorative panel. The decorative panel is detachably connected to the first magnetic component of the front frame via its own second magnetic component, which can prevent fluid from entering the front frame and ensure that the inside of the front frame is dry. The detachable groove provides convenient operating space and guidance for the removal of the decorative panel. The operator can easily grasp the edge of the decorative panel and then apply force along the direction of the groove to remove the decorative panel from the front frame, reducing the operating space required for removing the decorative panel and improving the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the existing outdoor unit when it is repaired in narrow corridors.

[0027] 2. The frame and the first protrusion together form the front frame for installing and fixing the decorative panel. A through hole is provided in the middle of the frame, allowing operators to inspect the interior of the outdoor unit after the decorative panel is removed. The first protrusion and the frame together form a mounting groove, allowing the decorative panel to be precisely placed in the mounting groove and fit tightly with the front frame. This restricts the position of the decorative panel and reduces the number of structures or parts required to remove the decorative panel, further improving the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the existing outdoor unit in narrow corridors.

[0028] 3. The sealing strip can fill the tiny gap between the decorative panel and the front frame mounting groove, thereby achieving a sealing function and preventing external impurities such as dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the outdoor unit. When subjected to external vibration or impact, the sealing strip can play a certain buffering role, avoiding direct collision between the decorative panel and the front frame, which would reduce the sealing performance.

[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0037] This application discloses a panel mounting structure that facilitates maintenance. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The panel mounting structure, which facilitates maintenance, includes a front frame 1, a decorative panel 2, and a disassembly groove 3.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front frame 1 includes a frame body 12, a first protrusion 13 and a second protrusion 14. A through hole is provided in the middle of the frame body 12. The first protrusion 13 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the frame body 12 and protrudes from the frame body 12. The first protrusion 13 and the frame body 12 form a mounting groove for inserting the decorative panel 2. The second protrusion 14 is integrally formed with the first protrusion 13. After being bent, the second protrusion 14 extends to the side away from the mounting groove.

[0039] For example, the frame 12, the first protrusion 13 and the second protrusion 14 are integrally formed. The front frame 1 is a polyvinyl chloride frame. The frame 12 and the first protrusion 13 together form the front frame 1 for installing and fixing the decorative panel 2. A through hole is provided in the middle of the frame 12 so that after the decorative panel 2 is removed, the operator can inspect the inside of the external unit through the through hole.

[0040] Specifically, the first protrusion 13 and the frame 12 together form a mounting groove, in which the decorative panel 2 can be precisely placed and tightly fitted with the front frame 1, thereby restricting the position of the decorative panel 2 and reducing the structure or parts required for disassembling the decorative panel 2, further improving the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the existing outdoor unit when it is repaired in narrow corridors; the second protrusion 14 connects with the outdoor unit chassis, and the front frame 1 can be firmly fixed to the outdoor unit chassis, ensuring that the entire device will not loosen or shift due to external forces during use. This not only enhances the bonding strength between the front frame 1 and the outdoor unit chassis, but also improves the structural stability of the entire device, enabling it to better withstand stress and vibration under various working environments.

[0041] In this embodiment, the front frame 1 is further provided with a first magnetic component 11, which is fixedly disposed between the frame 12 and the second protrusion 14. The first magnetic component 11 is fixedly connected to the frame 12 and can match the second magnetic component 22 on the decorative panel 2, thereby achieving a quick and stable connection. When disassembling the decorative panel 2, the first magnetic component 11 allows the operator to easily separate the decorative panel 2 and the front frame 1 without tools, further improving the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the existing outdoor unit when it is repaired in a narrow corridor.

[0042] For example, in this embodiment of the application, a sealing strip 4 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove. The sealing strip 4 is fixedly connected to the first protrusion 13. The sealing strip 4 is a rubber strip. The second protrusion 14 is provided with a hole 15 for pipes and / or lines to pass through. The sealing strip 4 can fill the tiny gap between the decorative panel 2 and the mounting groove of the front frame 1, thereby achieving a sealing function and preventing external impurities such as dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the interior of the outdoor unit. When subjected to external vibration or impact, the sealing strip 4 can play a certain buffering role, avoiding direct collision between the decorative panel 2 and the front frame 1, which would reduce the sealing performance. The hole 15 can conveniently introduce or lead pipes and lines from the outside into or out of the device, avoiding messy arrangement of pipes and lines on the outside, and also reducing the damage that pipes and lines may suffer during installation.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the disassembly groove 3 is located on one side of the front frame 1, opposite to the decorative panel 2. One end of the disassembly groove 3 is located at the lower part of the first protrusion 13. The end of the disassembly groove 3 near the mounting groove is connected to the mounting groove, and the other end of the disassembly groove 3 extends toward the second protrusion 14. When the operator needs to disassemble the decorative panel 2, he / she can easily insert his / her fingers into the disassembly groove 3 and apply force from the lower part of the first protrusion 13, thereby easily separating the decorative panel 2 from the mounting groove and having a point of force to grasp the decorative panel 2.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the decorative panel 2 is detachably mounted to the front frame 1. A second magnetic component 22 is fixedly mounted on the decorative panel 2, and the second magnetic component 22 is matched with the first magnetic component 11. The decorative panel 2 has a third protrusion 21 extending to one side of the decorative panel 2, with rounded corners on the side of the third protrusion 21 away from the decorative panel 2. The second magnetic component 22 is fixedly mounted on the side of the third protrusion 21 closest to the decorative panel 2. The extension of the third protrusion 21 to one side of the decorative panel 2 provides an additional structural support point for the decorative panel 2, not only enhancing the overall structural strength of the decorative panel 2 but also providing clear positioning guidance for the decorative panel 2 within the mounting groove through its shape and position. The third protrusion 21 provides accurate guidance; during installation, it guides the decorative panel 2 into the mounting groove, ensuring a tighter and more stable fit with the front frame 1. The second magnetic component 22 is fixedly positioned on the side of the third protrusion 21 closest to the decorative panel 2, allowing it to be firmly fixed to the panel 2. The structure of the third protrusion 21 also provides some protection for the second magnetic component 22, preventing damage from external forces during installation or use. The side of the third protrusion 21 furthest from the decorative panel 2 features rounded corners, reducing the risk of sharp edges scratching the user's fingers during installation and disassembly, thus improving product safety.

[0045] For example, the front frame 1 serves as a basic frame, supporting the decorative panel 2. The decorative panel 2 is detachably connected to the first magnetic component 11 of the front frame 1 via its own second magnetic component 22, which can block fluid from entering the front frame 1 and ensure that the interior of the front frame 1 is dry. The disassembly groove 3 provides convenient operating space and guidance for the disassembly of the decorative panel 2. The operator can easily grasp the edge of the decorative panel 2 by disassembling the groove 3 and then apply force along the direction of the groove to remove the decorative panel 2 from the front frame 1, reducing the operating space required to disassemble the decorative panel 2 and improving the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the existing outdoor unit when it is repaired in a narrow corridor.

[0046] For details, please refer to Figure 6 The panel mounting structure for easy maintenance described in this application primarily addresses the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of traditional outdoor units in confined corridors. The outdoor unit features a first magnetic component 11 and a second magnetic component 22 at the junction of the front panel and the decorative panel 2. Magnets or magnetically conductive metal sheets are fixed to corresponding positions on the side wall of the front panel and the decorative panel 2, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly of the decorative panel 2 from the front panel through magnetic attraction. The front panel can be separated and reassembled manually without tools. A sealing strip 4 is provided at the junction of the front panel and the decorative panel 2, forming a sealed structure under magnetic pressure, ensuring waterproof and dustproof performance during equipment operation. This design simplifies the outdoor unit maintenance process, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly disassemble the decorative panel 2 to access the internal components of the front panel within limited space, significantly reducing the difficulty and safety risks of working at heights. The magnetic installation method maintains the reliability of traditional fixed structures while offering convenient assembly and disassembly, making it particularly suitable for space-constrained heat pump equipment installation scenarios.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
