[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4This embodiment of a protective structure for an air conditioning unit includes an outdoor unit body 1 and a protective structure 2 disposed outside the outdoor unit body 1. The outdoor unit body 1 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 3 for cleaning the protective net of the outdoor unit body 1. The protective structure 2 includes a support plate 21 detachably installed on the upper surface of the outdoor unit body 1, a baffle 22 fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 21, a screw 23 threadedly connected to the inside of the support plate 21, a clamping block 24 rotatably connected to one end of the screw 23 near the outdoor unit body 1, and a knob 25 fixedly connected to the other end of the screw 23.
[0025] The support plate 21 is inverted U-shape, and the baffles 22 are distributed obliquely on the upper surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1. A guide rod 26 extending to the outside of the support plate 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping block 24 away from the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1, and the guide rod 26 is slidably connected to the inside of the support plate 21.
[0026] It should be noted that there are two sets of screws 23, clamping blocks 24, knobs 25, and guide rods 26. The two sets of clamping blocks 24 are symmetrically distributed on the outside of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1 and abut against the outer wall of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1. By rotating the screws 23 with knobs 25 to adjust the position of the clamping blocks 24, it can adapt to different specifications of air conditioner outdoor unit bodies 1, greatly improving the convenience of fixing. The symmetrical distribution of the two sets of clamping blocks 24 ensures that the clamping force is evenly distributed and improves the fixing stability.
[0027] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a mounting box 31 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the baffle 22, a servo motor 32 fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting box 31, a threaded rod 33 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 32, a moving block 34 threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 33, a scraper 38 disposed on the lower surface of the mounting box 31, a cleaning brush 39 fixedly connected to the scraper 38 near the side of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1, and a limiting component disposed outside the scraper 38. Driven by the servo motor 32, the cleaning brush 39 moves automatically without manual operation, greatly improving cleaning efficiency.
[0028] The limiting component includes a connecting block 35 fixedly connected to the outside of the moving block 34, a fixing block 36 fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting block 35, an elastic telescopic rod 37 fixedly installed on the side of the fixing block 36 near the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1, and a limiting shaft 311 disposed inside the fixing block 36. The cleaning brush 39 abuts against the protective net of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1, and the limiting shaft 311 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing block 36. The end of the limiting shaft 311 away from the fixing block 36 is fixedly connected to the scraper 38. By setting the limiting shaft 311, the moving direction of the scraper 38 is ensured to be stable, avoiding deviation and improving the uniformity of cleaning.
[0029] It should be noted that the end of the elastic telescopic rod 37 away from the fixed block 36 is fixedly connected to the scraper 38, and a return spring 310 is fixedly connected between the fixed block 36 and the scraper 38. The return spring 310 is connected around the outside of the elastic telescopic rod 37.
[0030] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0031] In use, the support plate 21 is placed on the upper surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1. According to the specifications of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1, manually turning the knob 25 drives the screw 23 to rotate, which will cause the clamping block 24 to slide along the guide rod 26, gradually approaching or moving away from the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1. When the clamping block 24 moves to a suitable position, continue to turn the knob 25 to make the clamping block 24 tightly abut against the outer wall of the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1, thereby fixing the air conditioner outdoor unit body 1. When cleaning the dust on the protective net, the servo motor 32 is started by the controller to drive the threaded rod 33 to rotate, causing the moving block 34 to move left and right along the threaded rod 33. The moving block 34 drives the scraper 38 to move through the connecting block 35 and the fixing block 36. The scraper 38 drives the cleaning brush 39 to move. During the movement, the elasticity of the elastic telescopic rod 37 and the return spring 310 keeps the scraper 38 in contact with the cleaning brush 39 for cleaning.
[0032] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
