Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning equipment, and specifically relates to an air conditioning unit. Background Technology
[0002] Air handling units (ALUs) are ventilation devices specifically designed for central air conditioning systems in large buildings. They are widely used in stadiums, convention centers, hotels, large shopping malls, and other similar venues. An ALU is responsible for drawing in outside air through its inlet and then using an impeller to drive the air out through its outlet, ensuring stable airflow.
[0003] Currently sold air conditioning fan units typically have a rectangular outer shell with hooks on the surface for mounting to load-bearing beams. They also include access doors with protruding handles. To reduce packaging size, the hooks and door handles are usually transported as loose accessories in cartons, not attached to the outer shell, and then installed on-site. In some projects with a large number of air conditioning fan units, on-site installation of hooks and access doors is not only inefficient but also prone to shortages, significantly increasing installation time and costs. In severe cases, it can even delay the entire project, preventing timely completion and acceptance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioning fan cabinet that improves the ease of installation and saves labor and costs while maintaining the packaging volume of the air conditioning fan cabinet.
[0005] This utility model provides an air conditioning unit, including a horizontally arranged upper cover plate. The upper cover plate is a chamfered rectangle, and a lower cover plate of the same shape is arranged parallel to it below. A rectangular inspection door is vertically arranged between one long side of the upper and lower cover plates. An air inlet baffle with an air inlet is provided on one side of the inspection door; an air outlet baffle with an air outlet is provided on the other side. The air inlet baffle and air outlet baffle correspond to two parallel long sides of the upper cover plate, respectively. A sealing plate is vertically arranged on the fourth long side of the upper cover plate, parallel to the inspection door. Flanges are provided facing each other on the corresponding long sides of the upper and lower cover plates, and the flanges are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the corresponding air inlet baffle, air outlet baffle, and sealing plate, respectively. The four chamfered edges of the top cover are vertically equipped with chamfered baffles. The four chamfered baffles connect the inspection door, air inlet baffle, air outlet baffle and sealing plate corresponding to the long side of the top cover, forming a housing space together with the top cover and the bottom cover. Air enters the air conditioning unit from the air inlet and is discharged from the air outlet.
[0006] Furthermore, the chamfered baffle is provided with a hook, the base of the hook is fixed on the chamfered baffle, the hook body is perpendicular to the chamfered baffle, and the hook body can be suspended on the horizontal load-bearing beam.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom projection of the hook is located within the rectangle enclosed by the bottom projections of the air inlet, air outlet, inspection door, and sealing plate and their extension lines.
[0008] Furthermore, a power outlet is provided on one of the beveled baffles near the air conditioning unit motor, and the power outlet is provided with an outwardly protruding sleeve.
[0009] Furthermore, the length of the sleeve protruding outward from the power outlet is less than the length of the hook protruding outward.
[0010] Furthermore, the inspection door is a hollow cuboid with a relatively small thickness. The part where the chamfered baffle connects to the inspection door is provided with a vertical support. The vertical support is a stepped structure. The outer end face of the vertical support is on the same plane as the surface of the inspection door outside the air conditioning unit. The other two faces are respectively attached to the side of the inspection door and the surface inside the air conditioning unit to limit the movement of the inspection door.
[0011] Furthermore, two recessed door handles are vertically installed on both sides of the inspection door, with the embedded part between the inner and outer surfaces of the inspection door and the opening inclined towards the center line of the inspection door.
[0012] Furthermore, the portion of the hook protruding from the chamfered baffle extends outward and splits into two hook bodies, forming a bidirectional hook, with one hook body opening upward and the other hook body opening downward.
[0013] This utility model discloses an air conditioning fan cabinet. By designing the cross-section of the air conditioning fan cabinet shell into a chamfered rectangle, installing hooks and power outlets on the chamfered baffles, and using embedded door handles, the hooks and door handles are installed on the air conditioning fan cabinet for transportation without affecting the efficiency of the air conditioning fan cabinet or increasing the packaging volume of the air conditioning fan cabinet. This saves the time and process of finding and installing hooks and door handles when installing the air conditioning fan cabinet.
[0014] Because of the use of two-way hooks, there is no need to flip the air conditioning unit according to the direction of the hooks, saving physical effort and time in flipping the air conditioning unit. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an air conditioning unit, comprising a horizontally arranged upper cover plate 1, which is a chamfered rectangle. A lower cover plate (not shown) is correspondingly arranged below the upper cover plate 1, and the lower cover plate is parallel to the upper cover plate 1. A rectangular inspection door 2 is vertically arranged between one long side of the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate. An air inlet baffle 3 with an air inlet 11 is provided on one side of the inspection door 2, and an air outlet baffle 4 with an air outlet 12 is provided on the other side. The air inlet baffle 3 and the air outlet baffle 4 correspond to two parallel long sides of the upper cover plate 1, respectively. A sealing plate 5 is vertically arranged at the fourth long side of the upper cover plate 1, and the sealing plate 5 is parallel to the inspection door 2. Flanges are provided facing each other at the corresponding long sides of the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate, and the flanges are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the corresponding air inlet baffle 3, air outlet baffle 4, and sealing plate 5, respectively.
[0026] The four corner edges of the upper cover plate 1 are vertically provided with corner baffles 6. The four corner baffles 6 connect the maintenance door 2, air inlet baffle 3, air outlet baffle 4 and sealing plate 5 corresponding to the long side of the upper cover plate 1, forming a housing space together with the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate. Air enters the air conditioning unit from the air inlet 11 and is discharged from the air outlet 12.
[0027] In conventional air conditioning unit housings, the motor and fan are horizontally placed cylinders inside the casing, leaving mostly unused space at the corners corresponding to the four vertical edges of the casing. The four chamfered edges of the top cover 1 are located at the four corners of the original rectangle, meaning the cross-section of the air conditioning unit housing is designed as a chamfered rectangle. This design does not affect the size of the motor and fan, nor does it reduce the efficiency of the air conditioning unit.
[0028] A hook 8 is provided on the chamfered baffle 6. The base of the hook 8 is fixed on the chamfered baffle 6, and the hook body is perpendicular to the chamfered baffle 6. The hook body can be suspended on the horizontal beam column to suspend the air conditioner fan cabinet shell between the horizontal beam column. Figure 2 This is a top view of the air conditioning unit. The hook 8 is located on the chamfered baffle 6, within the rectangle formed by the air inlet 11, air outlet 12, inspection door 2, and sealing plate 5 and their extensions. A power outlet 9 is also located on one of the chamfered baffles 6 near the air conditioning unit motor. The power outlet 9 has an outwardly protruding sleeve, the length of which is less than the protruding length of the hook 8.
[0029] The inspection door 2 is a thin, hollow cuboid. A vertical support 7 is provided at the connection between the chamfered baffle 6 and the inspection door 2. The vertical support 7 is a stepped structure, with its outer end face flush with the surface of the inspection door 2 outside the air conditioning unit. The other two faces are respectively attached to the side of the inspection door 2 and the surface inside the air conditioning unit, used to limit the movement of the inspection door 2. A vertical support 7 with the same structure is also provided at the connection between the chamfered baffle 6 and the sealing plate 5, limiting the movement of the sealing plate 5.
[0030] Two door handles 10 are vertically arranged on both sides of the access door 2. In this embodiment, the door handles 10 are recessed, with the embedded part between the inner and outer surfaces of the access door 2. The opening is inclined towards the center line of the access door 2, making it convenient to insert both fingers into the two door handles 10 and pull the access door 2 out. Compared with conventional outward-protruding door handles, the recessed door handles do not increase the packaging volume of the product.
[0031] Figure 5 This is a top view of the packaging of this utility model. The carton 14 is in an unsealed state. A cushioning material 13 is provided on each of the inner walls of the carton 14, including the top, bottom, left, right, front, and rear sides. The cushioning material 13 is a conventional packaging cushioning material, such as foam, pearl cotton, and bubble wrap. Figure 5 As can be seen, installing the hook 8 on the corner baffle 6 for packaging will not affect the packaging size of the product.
[0032] Since the hook 8 is installed on the chamfered baffle 6, the hook 8 is within the rectangle formed by the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, the inspection door 2, and the sealing plate 5 and their extension lines. The door handle 10 is set inside the inspection door 2. It can be packaged and transported according to the rectangle formed by the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, the inspection door 2, and the sealing plate 5 and their extension lines. After receiving the air conditioning unit, it can be taken out of the packaging, the air conditioning unit can be adjusted so that the opening of the hook is facing down, and it can be hung on the building's support column for use. This maintains the minimum packaging size and saves the time and procedures of finding and installing the hook and door handle when installing the air conditioning unit.
[0033] As a further improvement, the shape of hook 8 is designed as follows: Figure 3-4 The bidirectional hook shown has a portion of hook 8 protruding from the chamfered baffle 6 and extending outwards to divide into two hook bodies. One hook body opens upwards, and the other opens downwards. When installing the air conditioning unit, only the position of the access door 2 needs to be determined before hanging and installation can be carried out. It is not necessary to flip the air conditioning unit up and down according to the direction of hook 8, saving time, space, and physical effort in flipping the air conditioning unit.
[0034] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
