[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
[0018] like Figure 1-2 An air conditioner controller installation structure is shown, including a housing 1 that supports the controller 2 and a positioning frame 3 located below the housing 1. The top of the housing 1 is open. A shock-absorbing plate 4 that can be raised and lowered is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. A buffer mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom of the four corners of the shock-absorbing plate 4. The shock-absorbing plate 4 and the housing 1 are connected to the positioning frame 3 through the buffer mechanism 5 and can be raised and lowered. A protective cover 6 is provided above the housing 1. A gap is left between the protective cover 6 and the housing 1 to allow air to flow. A support component 7 connected to the positioning frame 3 is provided at the bottom of the protective cover 6. The protective cover 6 can be flipped and rotated at the top of the support component 7.
[0019] Based on the above, the housing 1 serves as the main support for the controller 2, providing installation space for the controller 2; the positioning frame 3 provides basic support for the overall structure; the shock-absorbing plate 4 is connected to the positioning frame 3 through the buffer mechanism 5, and can move up and down with the buffer mechanism 5, thereby driving the housing 1 to move up and down synchronously to buffer external vibrations; the protective cover 6 is installed above the housing 1 through the support component 7, and can be opened and closed by flipping the support component 7, forming top protection when covering the housing 1, and the gap between it and the housing 1 is a reserved channel for air circulation, taking into account both dust prevention and heat dissipation.
[0020] The housing 1 has several positioning bolts 8 and fastening bolts 9 running through it. The controller 2 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1 by the positioning bolts 8, and the housing 1 is fixedly installed on the shock-absorbing plate 4 by the fastening bolts 9. The positioning bolts 8 pass through the corresponding mounting holes of the controller 2 and the housing 1, and the controller 2 is stably fixed in the housing 1 by the threaded fastening to prevent the controller 2 from shaking in the housing 1. The fastening bolts 9 pass through the mounting holes of the bottom of the housing 1 and the shock-absorbing plate 4, and rigidly connect the housing 1 and the shock-absorbing plate 4 to ensure that the housing 1 moves synchronously when the shock-absorbing plate 4 is raised and lowered, so as to avoid the relative displacement of the two affecting the controller 2.
[0021] The positioning frame 3 is arranged in a "hui" shape. A number of connecting bolts 10 penetrate through the positioning frame 3. The positioning frame 3 is fixedly installed on the installation plane through the connecting bolts 10. The "hui" shaped positioning frame 3 has an annular closed structure, which can evenly disperse the upper load and enhance the overall support stability. The connecting bolts 10 pass through the positioning frame 3 and the preset holes on the installation plane (such as the wall surface, the outer shell of the external unit), and firmly fix the positioning frame 3 through threaded fastening, providing a stable foundation for the upper structures such as the shock absorption plate 4 and the box body 1.
[0022] A circular connecting plate 11 is provided at each of the four corners of the positioning frame 3. The buffer mechanism 5 includes a screw rod 12 fixed on the surface of the connecting plate 11. The top of the screw rod 12 penetrates through the shock absorption plate 4 and extends above the shock absorption plate 4. A positioning nut 13 is sleeved outside the screw rod 12 located above the shock absorption plate 4.
[0023] Based on the above, the connecting plate 11 provides a fixed carrier for the screw rod 12 to ensure the vertical and stable installation of the screw rod 12. The screw rod 12 penetrates through the shock absorption plate 4, enabling the shock absorption plate 4 to move up and down along the axis of the screw rod 12. The positioning nut 13 is sleeved on the upper part of the screw rod 12, and restricts the maximum rising height of the shock absorption plate 4 through thread cooperation with the screw rod 12, preventing the shock absorption plate 4 from detaching from the screw rod 12 and ensuring the structural integrity of the buffer mechanism 5.
[0024] A return spring 14 is sleeved outside the screw rod 12. The bottom end of the return spring 14 is fixed on the surface of the connecting plate 11 and the top end contacts the bottom surface of the shock absorption plate 4.
[0025] Furthermore, the return spring 14 is sleeved outside the screw rod 12 and supports the shock absorption plate 4 in its natural state. When external vibration is transmitted to the shock absorption plate 4, the shock absorption plate 4 is pressed downward and the return spring 14 is compressed to generate elastic potential energy, absorbing the vibration energy. After the vibration disappears, the return spring 14 releases the potential energy to push the shock absorption plate 4 to reset upward, driving the box body 1 back to the initial position, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the controller 2.
[0026] The support component 7 includes support frames 15 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning frame 3. The bottom ends of the support frames 15 are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the positioning frame 3 and the top ends extend to both sides of the box body 1.
[0027] An articulated chain 16 is installed at the top end of one of the support frames 15, and a limiting mechanism 17 is provided at the top end of the other support frame 15. One side of the protective cover 6 rotates and flips above the box body 1 and the controller 2 through the articulated chain 16, and the other side is fixedly limited to the support frame 15 through the limiting mechanism 17.
[0028] Based on the above, the support frame 15 connects the positioning frame 3 and the protective cover 6 to provide support for the protective cover 6; the hinge chain 16 movably connects one side of the protective cover 6 to the support frame 15, so that the protective cover 6 can be flipped around the hinge chain 16 to realize the opening and closing of the top of the box 1. When opened, it is convenient to operate the controller 2, and when closed, it covers and protects the box; when the protective cover 6 is closed, the limiting mechanism 17 fixes the other side of the protective cover 6 to the support frame 15 to prevent the protective cover 6 from flipping on its own and to ensure the stability of the coverage state.
[0029] The support frame 15 provides stable support, the hinge chain 16 enables the protective cover 6 to open and close flexibly, and the limit mechanism 17 ensures the reliability of the closed state, taking into account both protection and ease of maintenance.
[0030] The limiting mechanism 17 includes a lower semi-circular stud 18 fixed to the top of the support frame 15 on the side away from the hinge chain 16 and an upper semi-circular stud 19 on the outer wall of the protective cover 6 on the side away from the hinge chain 16. When the protective cover 6 is flipped over by the hinge chain 16 and covers the box body 1, the upper semi-circular stud 19 and the lower semi-circular stud 18 are combined into a cylindrical shape. A limiting nut 20 is sleeved on the outside of the combined upper semi-circular stud 19 and the lower semi-circular stud 18.
[0031] Based on the above, when the protective cover 6 covers the box body 1, the upper semi-circular stud 19 and the lower semi-circular stud 18 are precisely connected to form a complete cylindrical structure with threads on its outer surface; the limiting nut 20 is sleeved on the outside of the combined cylinder, and the upper and lower semi-circular studs 18 are locked by thread engagement, thereby fixing the protective cover 6 to the support frame 15 and preventing the protective cover 6 from falling off the covering position under vibration or external force.
[0032] The top of the protective cover 6 is fitted with an upward-facing cooling fan 21. When working, the cooling fan 21 faces upward, which can accelerate the airflow in the gap between the protective cover 6 and the box 1, and discharge the heat generated by the controller 2 through air convection to reduce the temperature inside the box 1, thus preventing the controller 2 from aging or malfunctioning due to high temperature.
[0033] Furthermore, in this structure, after the airflow enters through the gap between the protective cover 6 and the damping plate 4, it is driven by the upward-facing cooling fan 21 at the top of the protective cover 6, forming an upward-flowing airflow. Because the housing 1 has a certain height, its structure provides directional guidance space for the airflow: the airflow moves upward outside the housing 1 and within the gap between the protective cover 6 and the housing 1, rather than directly impacting the controller 2 inside the housing 1. This upward airflow, dominated by the cooling fan 21, carries dust entering the gap upwards with the airflow and discharges it from the protective cover 6, reducing the possibility of dust settling inside the housing 1 under the influence of the airflow. Simultaneously, the height of the housing 1 increases the path length for dust to enter the interior, and combined with the upward airflow direction, further prevents dust from depositing on the surface of the controller 2, thus achieving a targeted dust prevention effect while ensuring heat dissipation.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
