Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to an electrical control box installation structure, an outdoor unit, and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Split-type air conditioners, as an important branch of air conditioning devices, occupy a large share of the commercial market. They mainly consist of two parts: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The electrical control box in the outdoor unit controls the normal operation and function of the internal components, and its installation stability directly affects the operational stability of the air conditioner.

[0003] Currently, most outdoor unit control boxes are made of plastic and are fixed to the flange holes of the middle partition with screws. The common structure is that the control box has screw holes on the back, which correspond to the holes on the sheet metal flange. The screws are tightened to fix the box. This method is prone to problems such as failure of fixation, improper assembly, and damage to the main control board due to stripped screw threads. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this utility model embodiment is to provide an electrical control box installation structure, an outdoor unit, and an air conditioner, aiming to improve the technical problem of unstable electrical control box installation by screws in the prior art.

When the first hooking part is hooked onto the first hooking hole, the second limiting part is inserted into the second limiting hole.

[0010] The first limiting part extends along a first direction, and the second limiting part extends along a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0011] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the mounting plate, and the second direction is a direction parallel to the mounting plate.

[0013] The third limiting portion extends along the first direction, or the third limiting portion extends along the second direction.

[0014] In some embodiments of this utility model, the third limiting part is a barb structure, and when the first hooking part is hooked to the first hooking hole, the barb structure is hooked to the third limiting hole.

[0015] In some embodiments of this utility model, an installation notch for an electrical control box is provided from the edge of the mounting plate to the center of the mounting plate, and a plurality of first mounting holes are arranged around the installation notch;

One end of the first column is connected to the electrical control box, and the other end of the first column is connected to the first deformable sub-part. The width of the first deformable sub-part is greater than the width of the first limiting hole, and the width of the first column is less than the width of the first limiting hole.

[0018] The first deformable sub-part can shrink under the action of external force and restore its original shape after the external force is removed, so that the first deformable sub-part can shrink and pass through the first limiting hole, and restore its original shape after passing through the first limiting hole, so as to lock it on the other side of the first limiting hole.

[0019] In some embodiments of this utility model, the electrical control box includes a box body and a box cover. The box cover is disposed on and connected to the box body.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an electrical control box installation structure, installed in an outdoor unit. The electrical control box installation structure includes an electrical control box 200 and a mounting plate 100. The mounting side of the electrical control box 200 has multiple first hooking portions 210 arranged in a ring at intervals. The electrical control box 200 also has a first limiting portion 220 located near the bottom of the mounting side. The mounting plate 100 has first limiting holes 120 corresponding to the first limiting portions 220, and also has multiple first hooking holes 110 corresponding one-to-one with the first hooking portions 210. When the first hooking portion 210 is hooked into the first hooking hole 110, the first limiting portion 220 passes through the first limiting hole 120 and locks into the mounting plate 100, thereby connecting the electrical control box 200 to the mounting plate 100.

[0035] It should be noted that the mounting side of the electrical control box 200 is the side wall on which the electrical control box 200 is connected to the mounting plate 100. That is, a plurality of first hook parts 210 are arranged in a ring and spaced apart on one side wall of the electrical control box 200. Among them, the first limiting part 220 is provided near the bottom of the side wall and is located below all the first hook parts 210.

[0036] Generally, the barb of the first hook part 210 is set downwards. When the first hook part 210 is connected to the first hook hole 110, it is inserted from top to bottom so that the first hook part 210 is connected to the first hook hole 110.

[0037] The first mounting part 210 is generally arranged along the edge of the electrical control box 200 to ensure that the weight of the electrical control box 200 is evenly distributed to the connection points of the first mounting part 210 and the first mounting hole 110.

[0038] The first limiting part 220, after passing through the first limiting hole 120, is locked to the mounting plate 100, which can further improve the connection stability between the electrical control box 200 and the mounting plate 100.

[0039] Among them, the mounting plate 100 is generally the middle partition of the outdoor unit.

[0040] That is, the electrical control box mounting structure provides a first limiting part 220 and multiple first hooking parts 210 on the electrical control box 200, with the multiple first hooking parts 210 arranged in a ring at intervals. Multiple first hooking holes 110 are provided on the mounting plate 100, corresponding one-to-one with the first hooking parts 210. The first hooking parts 210 are hooked onto the first hooking holes 110 to achieve the connection between the electrical control box 200 and the mounting plate 100. At the same time, the first limiting part 220 and the first limiting hole 120 achieve a locking connection, improving the connection stability between the electrical control box 200 and the mounting plate 100, and achieving a screwless high-stability connection.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first limiting part 220 may be a hook structure with the barb facing the opposite direction to the barb of the first hooking part 210. That is, the barb of the first hooking part 210 faces downward and needs to be inserted from top to bottom during installation, while the barb of the first limiting part 220 is set upward and is opposite to the barb of the first hooking part 210, so it needs to be inserted from bottom to top during installation. By setting the barbs in opposite directions, a locking connection can be formed when the barb of the first limiting part 220 is inserted into the first limiting hole 120.

[0042] In some embodiments, a second limiting part 230 is provided on one side of the top of the electrical control box 200, and a second limiting hole 130 that cooperates with the second limiting part 230 is provided on the mounting plate 100. When the first hooking part 210 is hooked onto the first hooking hole 110, the second limiting part 230 is inserted into the second limiting hole 130. The first limiting part 220 extends along a first direction, and the second limiting part 230 extends along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0043] It should be noted that the first limiting part 220 is provided along the first direction, that is, the length direction of the first limiting part 220 is the first direction; the second limiting part 230 is provided along the second direction, that is, the length direction of the second limiting part 230 is the second direction.

[0044] It is understandable that by setting the first limiting part 220 and the second limiting part 230 in two mutually perpendicular directions, they can limit each other and prevent the electrical control box 200 from shaking. For example, if the first limiting part 220 is a cylinder set in the horizontal direction, then after being inserted into the first limiting hole 120, the electrical control box 200 cannot move in the vertical direction; if the second limiting part 230 is a cylinder set in the vertical direction, then after being inserted into the second limiting hole 130, the electrical control box 200 cannot move in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, by setting the first limiting part 220 and the second limiting part 230 in mutually perpendicular directions, the shaking of the electrical control box 200 can be limited, and the connection stability between the electrical control box 200 and the mounting plate 100 can be improved.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the mounting plate 100, and the second direction is a direction parallel to the mounting plate 100.

[0046] The first direction is perpendicular to the surface of the mounting plate 100, and the surface of the plate has the first mounting hole 110. It should be noted that when the mounting plate 100 has multiple surfaces, multiple first mounting holes 110 are all set on the same surface, and the first limiting hole 120 and the second limiting hole 130 are also set on the same surface.

[0047] In some embodiments, a third limiting part 240 is provided on the top of the electrical control box 200, the third limiting part 240 is spaced apart from the second limiting part 230, and a third limiting hole 140 is provided on the mounting plate 100 to cooperate with the third limiting part 240. When the first hooking part 210 is hooked to the first hooking hole 110, the third limiting part 240 is inserted into the third limiting hole 140. The third limiting part 240 extends along a first direction or extends along a second direction.

[0048] In this embodiment, the third limiting part 240 can only extend along one of the first and second directions. Since the first limiting part 220 and the second limiting part 230 extend along the first and second directions respectively, and the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other, if the third limiting part 240 extends in another direction, it may cause the control box 200 and the mounting plate 100 to be unable to connect. Therefore, the third limiting part 240 can be extended along the first or second direction.

[0049] It is understandable that by connecting the third limiting part 240 to the third limiting hole 140 and setting the third limiting part 240 and the second limiting part 230 at intervals, both ends of the top of the electrical control box 200 are connected to the mounting plate 100, thereby improving the connection stability between the top of the electrical control box 200 and the mounting plate 100.

[0050] In some instances, the third limiting part 240 is a barb structure, and when the first hook part 210 is hooked to the first hook hole 110, the barb structure is hooked to the third limiting hole 140.

[0051] The barb of the third limiting part 240 can be set along the first direction, which is perpendicular to the mounting plate 100.

[0052] The barb of the third limiting part 240 can be set in the second direction, parallel to the mounting plate 100, and in particular, it can be set to be opposite to the direction of the barb of the first hook part 210.

[0053] In some embodiments, a mounting notch 103 for adapting the electrical control box 200 is provided from the edge of the mounting plate 100 to the center of the mounting plate 100, and a plurality of first mounting holes 110 are arranged around the mounting notch 103; the edge of the mounting plate 100 has a first flange 101 and a second flange 102, a second limiting hole 130 is provided on the first flange 101, a third limiting hole 140 is provided on the second flange 102, and the first flange 101 and the second flange 102 are respectively provided on the top two sides of the mounting notch 103.

[0054] The bottom edge of the mounting notch 103 can be used to abut against the electrical control box 200 and bear the weight of the electrical control box 200.

[0055] The mounting notch 103 is opened from the top edge of the mounting plate 100, and its size is similar to that of the electrical control box 200.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 220 includes a first column 221 and a first deformable sub-portion 222. One end of the first column 221 is connected to the electrical control box 200, and the other end of the first column 221 is connected to the first deformable sub-portion 222. The width of the first deformable sub-portion 222 is greater than the width of the first limiting hole 120, and the width of the first column 221 is less than the width of the first limiting hole 120. The first deformable sub-portion 222 can shrink under the action of external force and restore its original shape after the external force is removed, so that the first deformable sub-portion 222 can shrink and pass through the first limiting hole 120, and restore its original shape after passing through the first limiting hole 120, so as to lock on the other side of the first limiting hole 120.

[0057] When the first limiting part 220 is locked and connected to the first limiting hole 120, an external force can be applied to the first deformable part 222 so that its width is smaller than the width of the first limiting hole 120, thereby pulling out the first limiting part 220 and separating it from the mounting plate 100.

[0058] It is understandable that the first limiting part 220 adopts a structure combining the first column 221 and the first deformable sub-part 222. Utilizing the characteristic that the first deformable sub-part 222 can deform under the action of external force, it passes through the first limiting hole 120 from one side of the mounting plate 100 and is located on the other side of the mounting plate 100 under the action of external force. After the external force is removed, it returns to its original size and is thus restricted to the other side of the mounting plate 100, thereby locking the first limiting part 220 and the mounting plate 100 together and improving the connection stability between the electrical control box 200 and the mounting plate 100.

[0059] In some embodiments, the control box 200 includes a box body 202 and a box cover 201. The box cover 201 is disposed on and connected to the box body 202. A first hooking part 210 is disposed on the box body 202 and surrounds the box cover 201. A first limiting part 220 is disposed near the bottom edge of the box body 202.

[0060] In some embodiments, the area of ​​the cover 201 is smaller than the area of ​​the box body 202, and the size of the cover 201 is similar to that of the mounting notch 103, so that a portion of the cover 201 can abut against the mounting notch 103.

[0061] In some embodiments, the bottom of the mounting notch 103 is provided with a third flange for supporting the cover 201, and thus supporting the electrical control box 200.

[0062] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an outdoor unit, which includes the above-described electrical control box mounting structure. Since the outdoor unit includes the above-described electrical control box mounting structure, that is, includes some or all embodiments of the above-described electrical control box mounting structure, the air conditioner has the beneficial effects of some or all embodiments of the above-described electrical control box mounting structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an air conditioner that includes the outdoor unit described above. Since the outdoor unit has the electrical control box mounting structure described above, that is, includes some or all embodiments of the electrical control box mounting structure, the corresponding air conditioner has the beneficial effects of some or all embodiments of the electrical control box mounting structure described above.

[0064] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings under the application concept of the present utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
