Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner accessories technology, and more specifically to an air conditioner drain pan installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioner drain pans are an important component of air conditioning systems, used to collect and drain condensate produced by the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The main function of the air conditioner drain pan is to collect condensate produced by the indoor unit during the cooling or dehumidification process, preventing water droplets from dripping directly onto the indoor unit or other equipment and causing damage.

[0003] Currently, when installing air conditioner drain pans, the four corners of the drain pan are usually suspended from the air conditioner mounting bracket by steel wire ropes. While this method can install the drain pan, the connection between the steel wire rope and the mounting bracket is usually made by hooks or similar means. This requires pre-drilled holes on the surface of the air conditioner mounting bracket, but most air conditioner mounting brackets do not have pre-drilled holes, making it inconvenient to install drain pans later. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner drain pan installation structure to solve the problem that the drain pan is inconvenient to install in the traditional installation method because the mounting bracket has no reserved holes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An air conditioner drain pan installation structure includes a drain pan body. Four sets of mounting grooves are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the top of the drain pan body. A damping shaft is rotatably mounted within each mounting groove, and an installation assembly is mounted on the damping shaft. The installation assembly includes a first hanging plate fixedly connected to the damping shaft, and a second hanging plate slidably connected to the damping shaft. A first U-shaped seat and a second U-shaped seat are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the first and second hanging plates, respectively. The second U-shaped seat is located inside the first U-shaped seat. A first strip-shaped through groove is formed on each of the two side walls of the first U-shaped seat, and a second strip-shaped through groove corresponding to the first strip-shaped through groove is formed on each of the two side walls of the second U-shaped seat. A connecting rod passes through the first and second strip-shaped through grooves. The top end of the connecting rod extends to the outside of the first U-shaped seat and is fixedly connected to a fixing block. The bottom end of the connecting rod extends to the outside of the first U-shaped seat and is threadedly connected to a locking nut.

[0007] Furthermore, a first limiting groove is provided at one end of the first strip-shaped through groove of the first U-shaped seat away from the second hanging plate, and a second limiting groove is provided at the other end of the first strip-shaped through groove of the first U-shaped seat away from the second hanging plate. A third limiting groove and a fourth limiting groove are respectively provided on the two side walls of the second U-shaped seat corresponding to the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove. A first limiting plate and a second limiting plate are fixedly connected to the connecting rod. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate match the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove. The first limiting plate is located between the two side walls of the second U-shaped seat, and the second limiting plate is located below the first U-shaped seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the first limiting through groove and the second limiting through groove are staggered, and the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are positioned opposite each other.

[0009] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is connected between the two first hanging plates on the same side. Each of the two first hanging plates has a through hole, and a fixing rod slides through the through hole. One end of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate, and the other end of the fixing rod is threaded with a fastening nut.

[0010] Furthermore, a rubber pad is provided on the inner side of the second U-shaped seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the rubber pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] During installation, the device of this application does not require pre-drilled holes on the air conditioner mounting bracket. The first and second hanging plates are simply clamped onto the air conditioner mounting bracket by the first U-shaped seat, the second U-shaped seat, and the connecting rod, and then the locking nut is tightened to complete the installation. This solves the problem of inconvenient installation of the drain pan due to the lack of pre-drilled holes on the mounting bracket in the traditional installation method, and greatly improves the convenience and flexibility of drain pan installation.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an air conditioner drain pan installation structure includes a drain pan body 1. Four sets of mounting grooves 101 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the top of the drain pan body 1. A damping shaft 2 is rotatably mounted within each mounting groove 101. An installation assembly is mounted on the damping shaft 2. The installation assembly includes a first hanging plate 3 fixedly connected to the damping shaft 2, and a second hanging plate 4 slidably connected to the damping shaft 2. A first U-shaped seat 5 and a second U-shaped seat 6 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the first hanging plate 3 and the second hanging plate 4, respectively. Located inside the first U-shaped seat 5, a first strip-shaped through groove 501 is provided on both side walls of the first U-shaped seat 5. A second strip-shaped through groove 601 corresponding to the first strip-shaped through groove 501 is provided on both side walls of the second U-shaped seat 6. A connecting rod 7 is inserted into the first strip-shaped through groove 501 and the second strip-shaped through groove 601. The top end of the connecting rod 7 extends to the outside of the first U-shaped seat 5 and is fixedly connected to a fixing block 8. The bottom end of the connecting rod 7 extends to the outside of the first U-shaped seat 5 and is threadedly connected to a locking nut 9.

[0019] A first limiting groove 502 is provided at one end of the first strip-shaped through groove 501 of the first U-shaped seat 5 away from the second hanging plate 4, and a second limiting groove 503 is provided at the other end of the first strip-shaped through groove 501 of the first U-shaped seat 5 away from the second hanging plate 4. A third limiting groove 602 and a fourth limiting groove 603 are respectively provided on the two side walls of the second U-shaped seat 6 corresponding to the first limiting groove 502 and the second limiting groove 503. A first limiting plate 10 and a second limiting plate 11 are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 7. The first limiting plate 10 and the second limiting plate 11 are matched with the first limiting through groove 502 and the second limiting through groove 503. The first limiting plate 10 is located between the two side walls of the second U-shaped seat 6, and the second limiting plate 11 is located below the first U-shaped seat 5. During installation, after the first limiting plate 10 and the second limiting plate 11 pass through the limiting through groove, the connecting rod is rotated to make the first limiting plate 10 and the second limiting plate 11 misalign with the limiting through groove, thereby limiting the connecting rod 7 and improving the stability and reliability of the installation structure.

[0020] The first limiting through groove 502 and the second limiting through groove 503 are staggered, and the first limiting plate 10 and the second limiting plate 11 are arranged facing each other. The staggered arrangement of the first limiting through groove 502 and the second limiting through groove 503 can prevent the first limiting plate 10 and the second limiting plate 11 from passing through the limiting through groove at the same time, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0021] A reinforcing plate 12 is connected between the two first hanging plates 3 located on the same side. Each of the two first hanging plates 3 has a through hole, and a fixing rod 13 is slidably inserted through the through hole. One end of the fixing rod 13 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate 12, and the other end of the fixing rod 13 is threadedly connected to a fastening nut 14.

[0022] The inner side of the second U-shaped seat 6 is provided with a rubber pad; during the clamping process of the mounting bracket, the soft material of the rubber pad can closely fit the surface of the mounting bracket, greatly increasing the friction and preventing the drainage tray mounting structure from sliding and shifting on the mounting bracket.

[0023] The surface of the rubber pad is provided with anti-slip texture; this further increases the roughness of the contact surface and significantly improves the friction between the rubber pad and the mounting bracket.

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] During installation, first place the drain pan body 1 in a suitable position under the air conditioner mounting bracket. Use the damping shaft 2 to rotate the first hanging plate 3 and the second hanging plate 4 to open them and place the mounting bracket between the first U-shaped seat 5 and the second U-shaped seat 6. Then, pass the connecting rod 7 through the first strip groove 501 of the first U-shaped seat 5 and the second strip groove 601 of the second U-shaped seat 6 in sequence, so that the second limiting plate 11 passes through the first limiting groove 502, the third limiting groove 602, the fourth limiting groove 603 and the second limiting groove 503 in sequence, and the first limiting plate 10 passes through the first limiting groove 502 and the third limiting groove 602. Rotate the connecting rod 7 to make the first limiting plate 10 and the third limiting groove 602 misaligned, and the second limiting plate 11 and the second limiting groove 503 misaligned. Screw the locking nut 9 on the bottom end of the connecting rod 7 and tighten it so that the first U-shaped seat 5 and the second U-shaped seat 6 tightly clamp the mounting bracket through the rubber pad. Finally, on the two first hanging plates 4 on the same side, the fixing rod 13 is passed through the through hole and tightened with the fastening nut 14 to complete the installation of the reinforcing plate 12, thereby firmly installing the drain pan body 1 under the mounting bracket. When the drain pan is in use, the condensate generated by the indoor unit flows into the drain pan body 1.

[0026] This utility model's overall technical solution addresses the drawbacks of traditional air conditioner drain pan installation by effectively solving problems such as inconvenient installation and poor stability through a series of innovative structural designs. It eliminates the need to modify the mounting bracket, reducing installation costs and difficulty while improving efficiency. Multiple limiting, reinforcement, and anti-slip designs significantly enhance the stability and reliability of the drain pan after installation, enabling it to adapt to complex installation environments and long-term use requirements.
