Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an energy-saving controller for an air conditioning system, belonging to the field of air conditioning control technology. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies related to energy-saving controllers for air conditioning systems, heat dissipation has always been a key factor restricting performance improvement and operational stability. Commonly used energy-saving controllers for air conditioning systems have significant shortcomings in their heat dissipation design. Most controllers do not adequately consider the initial space for heat dissipation; the controller body is tightly fitted to its outer casing, with almost no pre-existing heat dissipation gap between them. This results in the heat generated by the controller body during operation being difficult to dissipate initially, causing heat to rapidly accumulate on the surface of the controller body and in surrounding localized areas, leading to a rapid rise in the controller body temperature and consequently affecting the energy-saving control effect and normal operation of the entire air conditioning system. Therefore, an energy-saving controller for air conditioning systems is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an energy-saving controller for an air conditioning system, aiming to ensure stable operation of the controller while achieving good heat dissipation.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides an energy-saving controller for an air conditioning system, comprising: case; The controller body is installed inside the housing; A front cover, which snaps onto the front side of the housing, is used to enclose the controller body inside the housing; The housing and the controller body have heat dissipation gaps around their perimeter, and ventilation holes are provided on both sides of the upper and lower side walls of the housing and the front cover.
[0005] Preferably, the lower two sides of the housing are provided with insertion slots, and the lower two sides of the front cover are fixed with insertion plates, and the insertion plates are provided with cooling fans. When the front cover is installed on the housing, the plug-in plate is inserted into the plug-in slot, allowing the cooling fan to be installed in the plug-in slot.
[0006] Preferably, heat dissipation fins are provided on both sides of the controller body.
[0007] Preferably, conductive posts are provided on the side walls of both the insertion slot and the insertion plate; When the connector board is inserted into the connector slot, the conductive posts on the connector board come into contact with the conductive posts in the connector slot and are energized.
[0008] Preferably, a suspension frame is fixed to the inner wall of the housing; When the controller body is placed inside the housing, the suspended component supports the controller body, creating a heat dissipation gap between the back of the controller body and the housing.
[0009] Preferably, spring tabs are provided on both sides of the front cover, and hooks are provided on the spring tabs; and slots are provided on both sides of the housing. When the front cover is installed on the housing, the spring clip's hook engages in the slot.
[0010] Preferably, the spring sheet is provided with a bending groove that facilitates bending of the spring sheet.
[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the front cover has a perforation for exposing the panel and buttons on the controller body.
[0012] Preferably, the rear side wall of the housing is provided with a wire-passing hole for threading wires.
[0013] Preferably, the sidewall of the housing is provided with a plurality of assembly holes.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies: 1. This utility model provides initial space for heat dissipation by leaving heat dissipation gaps around the casing and the controller body, allowing the heat generated by the controller body to initially dissipate. At the same time, the grilles on the upper and lower side walls of the casing and the front cover form air circulation channels. With the help of natural air flow, heat can be dissipated from the inside of the casing to the external environment more quickly, effectively improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0015] 2. This utility model features insertion slots on both sides of the lower part of the housing, and insertion plates with cooling fans fixed on both sides of the lower part of the front cover. The insertion structure securely mounts the cooling fans to the housing. When the cooling fans are activated, their upward airflow creates an airflow inside the housing. This airflow, combined with the air circulation channels formed by the grilles on the upper and lower side walls of the housing, creates continuous convection between the inside and outside of the housing. This air convection quickly removes the heat generated by the controller body from the housing, achieving rapid heat dissipation and effectively preventing heat accumulation inside the housing. The reduced operating temperature of the controller body not only extends its service life but also improves its efficiency and operational stability, ensuring that the energy-saving controller of the air conditioning system is always in good working condition and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the air conditioning system.

[0018] The present invention is illustrated below with specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0019] Example 1 like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an energy-saving controller for an air conditioning system, including a housing 1. A controller body 2 is installed inside the housing 1, and the controller body 2 realizes the energy-saving control function of the air conditioning system. A front cover 3 is snapped onto the front side of the housing 1, and the function of the front cover 3 is to enclose the controller body 2 inside the housing 1.
[0020] In terms of heat dissipation design, there are heat dissipation gaps around the housing 1 and the controller body 2, providing initial space for the heat generated by the controller body 2 to dissipate. The upper and lower side walls of the housing 1 and the front cover 3 are provided with ventilation holes 4, which serve as channels for airflow and help heat dissipate with the airflow.
[0021] The front cover 3 has a perforated hole 304 on its side wall. The perforated hole 304 is designed to expose the panel and buttons on the controller body 2, so that users can operate the controller and view relevant information, without affecting the integrity of the overall structure and heat dissipation performance.
[0022] A wire hole 103 is provided on the rear side wall of the housing 1. The wire hole 103 is used to pass wires through, so that the controller body 2 can be connected to an external power source and other related equipment to realize functions such as power supply and data transmission.
[0023] Multiple mounting holes 104 are provided on the side wall of the housing 1. These mounting holes 104 facilitate the installation and fixing of the entire air conditioning system energy-saving controller in a suitable position, such as on the mounting bracket inside or outside the air conditioning equipment, to ensure the stability of the controller during use.
[0024] In addition, a suspension frame 7 is fixed on the inner wall of the housing 1. When the controller body 2 is placed inside the housing 1, the suspension frame 7 supports the controller body 2, creating a heat dissipation gap between the back of the controller body 2 and the housing 1. This heat dissipation gap further increases the heat dissipation area, which helps the heat generated by the controller body 2 to be dissipated into the surrounding environment more quickly, improves heat dissipation efficiency, ensures that the controller body 2 operates in a suitable temperature environment, and extends its service life.
[0025] Example 2 Based on Example 1, this example further optimizes the heat dissipation structure of the energy-saving controller of the air conditioning system.
[0026] Both sides of the lower part of the housing 1 are provided with insertion slots 101, and both sides of the lower part of the front cover 3 are fixed with insertion plates 301, each with a cooling fan 5. When the front cover 3 is installed on the housing 1, the insertion plates 301 are inserted into the insertion slots 101. This insertion structure not only ensures that the cooling fan 5 is securely installed in the insertion slots 101, but also facilitates the installation and removal of the cooling fan 5, making it easier to maintain and replace the cooling fan 5 in the future.
[0027] When the cooling fan 5 is activated, it blows air upwards, creating a specific airflow direction inside the housing 1. Since the grilles 4 on the upper and lower sidewalls of the housing 1 form airflow channels, the heat inside the housing 1 is drawn out through the upper grilles 4 by the airflow generated by the cooling fan 5. Simultaneously, according to the principles of airflow, external air flows into the housing 1 through the lower grilles 4, creating continuous air convection. This air convection quickly removes the heat generated by the controller body 2, achieving rapid heat dissipation, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the controller body 2, and improving its efficiency and stability.
[0028] Both sides of the controller body 2 are equipped with heat dissipation fins 201, which rapidly conduct the heat generated by the controller body 2 to the heat dissipation fins 201. The heat dissipation fins 201 have a large surface area, which can facilitate more thorough heat exchange with the surrounding air, thereby accelerating heat dissipation. The combination of the heat dissipation fins 201 and the aforementioned air convection heat dissipation method further improves the overall heat dissipation effect of the controller.
[0029] Both the insertion slot 101 and the side wall of the insertion plate 301 are provided with conductive posts 6. When the insertion plate 301 is inserted into the insertion slot 101, the conductive posts 6 on the insertion plate 301 contact and become energized with the conductive posts 6 in the insertion slot 101. Utilizing the insertion structure, the circuit connection of the cooling fan 5 is completed simultaneously with its installation, enabling the cooling fan 5 to operate. No additional wiring steps are required, simplifying the installation process and improving installation efficiency.
[0030] Example 3 Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment optimizes the connection and fixing method between the front cover 3 and the housing 1.
[0031] Both sides of the front cover 3 are provided with spring tabs 302, and each spring tab 302 is provided with a hook 303. Both sides of the housing 1 are provided with slots 102. When the front cover 3 is installed on the housing 1, the spring tabs 302 have a certain degree of elasticity. During the installation process, the spring tabs 302 will bend to a certain extent due to the pressure from the side wall of the housing 1. When the hook 303 reaches the position of the slot 102, the spring tab 302 returns to its original shape, and the hook 303 engages in the slot 102, thereby firmly fixing the front cover 3 in the housing 1. The installation and removal of the front cover 3 can be completed quickly, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the controller body 2.
[0032] The spring sheet 302 is provided with a bending groove 3021, which facilitates the bending of the spring sheet 302.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate and not limit the technical solutions of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Any modifications or partial substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
