Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of air conditioner technology, and particularly relates to a water-blocking device and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Split-type wall-mounted air conditioners are widely used in various buildings due to their convenient installation, small footprint, and excellent cooling and heating performance. The air conditioner itself is crucial; its stable performance directly affects the overall operation and lifespan of the air conditioning system.

[0003] In related technologies, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner has a partition inside, with ventilation holes on the partition to dissipate heat from a heat source located on one side of the partition. However, the ventilation holes allow rainwater to easily splash into one side of the partition, causing electrical components located on that side of the partition to malfunction.

[0004] Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary.

[0005] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a water-blocking device and an air conditioner to solve the problem of rainwater splashing into one side of the partition from the heat dissipation holes.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a water-blocking device, including a support frame and a water-blocking component, wherein the water-blocking component is detachably connected to the support frame, and the support frame is used for fixed connection with a partition. When the support frame is connected to the partition, the water-blocking component is positioned relative to the heat dissipation holes.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the water-blocking assembly includes a water-blocking plate and a sliding plate, wherein the water-blocking plate is fixedly connected to the sliding plate, and the support frame is detachably connected to the sliding plate.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the sliding plate is provided with a plurality of limiting holes, and the support frame can be selectively inserted into any of the limiting holes to adjust the position of the baffle plate relative to the support frame.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the baffle plate has a threaded hole on the side facing the sliding plate, and a connecting seat is fixedly connected to the sliding plate. The outer periphery of the connecting seat has an external thread structure, and the connecting seat is threadedly engaged with the threaded connecting hole so that the sliding plate can be detachably fixed to the baffle plate.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the angle between the long axis of the limiting hole and the width direction of the sliding plate is α, 0°≤α≤90°, the length of the sliding plate is L, 35cm≤L≤85cm, and the width of the sliding plate is W, 6cm≤W≤10cm.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the support frame includes a locking member and a support plate, the support plate being fixedly connected to the partition, the locking member including a limiting block and a fixing shaft passing through the limiting block, the limiting block being inserted into any of the limiting holes, and the fixing shaft being connected to the support plate.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the sliding plate has a connecting groove for the fixed shaft to slide, and the connecting groove connects to the adjacent limiting hole.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the support plate includes a support portion and a connecting portion, the support portion being connected to a first end of the connecting portion, and the fixed shaft being connected to a second end of the connecting portion.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the locking member further includes a locking block, and a through hole is provided at the second end of the connecting portion.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application provides a water-blocking device and an air conditioner to solve the problem of rainwater splashing into one side of a partition through heat dissipation holes. The air conditioner includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit; the outdoor unit is mainly used for circulating heat dissipation, and the indoor unit is mainly used for circulating cooling.

[0029] Typically, an air conditioner outdoor unit includes a casing, a partition, a fan, and electrical components. The partition divides the interior of the casing into two relatively independent spaces. The electrical components are located on one side of the partition, and the fan is located on the other side. Ventilation holes are provided on the partition to allow airflow on one side of the partition during fan operation, thereby dissipating heat from the electrical components. However, on rainy days, rainwater can easily splash from the ventilation holes onto the electrical components, causing damage. Therefore, this application provides a water-blocking device to reduce the occurrence of rainwater splashing into one side of the partition from the ventilation holes.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This application provides a water-blocking device, including a support frame and a water-blocking assembly. The water-blocking assembly is detachably connected to the support frame, and the support frame is used to be fixedly connected to a partition. When the support frame is connected to the partition, the water-blocking component is positioned relative to the heat dissipation holes.

[0031] It should be noted that this application connects the water-blocking component to the partition plate by setting a support frame. By making the water-blocking component detachably connected to the support frame, when the support frame and partition plate are fixedly connected, the water-blocking component can be positioned relative to the heat dissipation holes. This allows the water-blocking component to block rainwater splashing towards the heat dissipation holes, solving the problem of rainwater splashing into one side of the partition plate from the heat dissipation holes. On rainy days, this prevents rainwater from splashing onto the electrical components in the control box, reducing the risk of malfunctions caused by water ingress and ensuring the normal operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0032] Furthermore, the water-blocking component and the partition are not completely sealed, but rather form a heat dissipation gap. Although the water-blocking component prevents rainwater from directly entering, this heat dissipation gap allows airflow through the heat dissipation holes. In this way, the airflow generated by the fan can still draw out the heat generated by the electrical components and exhaust it to the outside for heat dissipation through the heat dissipation holes, ensuring that normal heat dissipation function is maintained even in rainy weather. The heat dissipation effect is not affected by preventing rainwater from entering, thus resolving the contradiction between rain protection and heat dissipation.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the water-blocking assembly includes a water-blocking plate 10 and a sliding plate 11. The water-blocking plate 10 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 11, and the support frame is detachably connected to the sliding plate 11. The sliding plate 11 has a plurality of limiting holes 13. In this embodiment, the number of limiting holes 13 is set to three, and the three limiting holes are spaced apart along the length direction of the sliding plate 11. The support frame can be selectively inserted into any one of the limiting holes 13 to adjust the position of the water-blocking plate 10 relative to the support frame.

[0034] After the support frame is inserted into the limiting hole 13, a physical latch is formed, restricting the vertical displacement of the sliding plate 11 and the water baffle 10, ensuring that the water baffle 10 firmly covers the heat dissipation holes while maintaining the preset heat dissipation gap. The support frame, by inserting into the limiting holes 13 at different heights on the sliding plate 11, allows for relative height adjustment between the water baffle 10 and the air conditioner's heat dissipation holes. Users can select the matching limiting hole 13 according to actual needs (such as rainwater tilt angle or heat dissipation requirements), for example, lowering the water baffle 10 during heavy rain and raising it during light rain to increase ventilation.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the baffle plate 10 has a threaded hole on the side facing the sliding plate 11, and a connecting seat 12 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 11. The outer periphery of the connecting seat 12 has an external thread structure, and the connecting seat 12 is threadedly engaged with the threaded connecting hole so that the sliding plate 11 can be detachably fixed to the baffle plate 10.

[0036] The back of the baffle plate 10 has a pre-drilled threaded hole, and the sliding plate 11 integrates a connecting seat 12 with external threads. During assembly, the connecting seat 12 is screwed into the threaded hole, and the self-locking characteristic of the thread enables tool-free quick fixation. At the same time, the connection strength is ensured by controlling the thread depth. When the baffle plate 10 fails due to corrosion or deformation, simply rotate the connecting seat 12 in the opposite direction to disengage it from the threaded hole, and the baffle plate 10 can be removed and replaced.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 In one possible implementation, the angle between the long axis of the limiting hole 13 and the width direction of the sliding plate 11 is α, 0°≤α≤90°, the length of the sliding plate 11 is L, 35cm≤L≤85cm, and the width of the sliding plate 11 is W, 6cm≤W≤10cm.

[0038] In this application, 'a' is preferably 45 degrees, at which point the rain-blocking effect is optimal. 'L' is preferably 50 cm, allowing the water-blocking plate 10 to move vertically and adjust for different scenarios. 'W' is preferably 8 cm, ensuring appropriate width and length, sufficient strength, and avoiding the risk of the plate hitting the fan on the other side due to excessive width.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the support plate includes a support portion 22 and a connecting portion 23. The support portion 22 is connected to a first end of the connecting portion 23, and the fixing shaft 21 is connected to a second end of the connecting portion 23. In this embodiment, the number of connecting portions 23 is set to two, the two connecting portions 23 are spaced apart, and a space for accommodating the fixing shaft 21 is formed between the two connecting portions 23. One connecting portion 23 is detachably connected to one end of the fixing shaft 21, and the other connecting portion 23 is detachably connected to the other end of the fixing shaft 21.

[0040] The partition plate implemented in this application has threaded holes, and the support part 22 has mounting holes 25. The support part 22 can be locked onto the partition plate by passing the bolt through the mounting holes 25 and threading it into the threaded holes. The installation process is simple and convenient, which is beneficial for workers to install.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the support frame includes a locking member and a support plate. The support plate is used to fix the partition. The locking member includes a limiting block 20 and a fixing shaft 21 passing through the limiting block 20. The limiting block 20 is inserted into any limiting hole 13. The fixing shaft 21 is connected to the support plate.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the locking component further includes a locking block 26. A through hole 24 is provided at the second end of the connecting portion 23, through which the fixing shaft 21 passes. The locking block 26 is detachably connected to one end of the fixing shaft 21 passing through the through hole 24 to prevent the fixing shaft 21 from disengaging from the through hole 24. In this embodiment, the locking block 26 is a nut, and both ends of the fixing shaft 21 are provided with external threads, allowing the locking block 26 to be threadedly connected to the fixing shaft 21.

[0043] When installing the baffle plate 10, first fix the support plate on the partition, then insert the limiting block 20 into a limiting hole 13 of the sliding plate 11 to initially position the height of the baffle plate 10. Move the two connecting parts 23 away from each other, then place the fixing shaft 21 between the two connecting parts 23, and move the two connecting parts 23 again to bring them closer together until the fixing shaft 21 passes through the through hole 24. Finally, install the locking block 26 at the end of the fixing shaft 21. The friction between the locking block 26 and the corresponding connecting part 23 restricts the rotation of the fixing shaft 21 relative to the support part 22, thereby realizing the installation of the baffle device.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the sliding plate 11 is provided with a connecting groove 14 for the fixed shaft 21 to slide, and the connecting groove 14 is connected to the adjacent limiting hole 13.

[0045] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the baffle plate 10 relative to the support frame, loosen the locking block 26, slide the fixed shaft 21 through the connecting groove 14 to the appropriate limiting hole 13, then insert the limiting block 20 into the limiting hole 13, let the fixed shaft 21 pass through the through hole 24, and reinstall the locking block 26 at the end of the fixed shaft 21.

[0046] This application also provides an air conditioner that includes the water-blocking device described above. Since the air conditioner has the aforementioned water-blocking device, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the aforementioned water-blocking device, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
