[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.
[0024] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an installation structure for installing a shut-off valve 3 assembly, the shut-off valve 3 assembly including a valve mounting plate 2 and a shut-off valve 3, the installation structure including:
[0025] Side plate 1, the side plate 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11 that is closed on all four sides and open at one end;
[0026] Valve mounting plate 2 is detachably disposed in the mounting groove 11, and the valve mounting plate 2 is provided with two U-shaped mounting openings 21 spaced apart;
[0027] Two shut-off valves 3 are connected to the valve mounting plate 2 through the corresponding U-shaped mounting ports 21;
[0028] The side plate 1 is provided with a first sealing structure, and the valve mounting plate 2 is provided with a second sealing structure. The first sealing structure and the second sealing structure are used to cover different positions of the U-shaped mounting port 21.
[0029] In this embodiment, the side plate 1 and the valve mounting plate 2 are separate structures. The side plate 1 has a mounting groove 11 that is closed on all four sides and open at one end. The valve mounting plate 2 is slid vertically into the mounting groove 11 for easy maintenance and replacement. To facilitate the installation of the shut-off valve 3, the valve mounting plate 2 has two U-shaped mounting ports 21. The two corresponding shut-off valves 3 are installed on the valve mounting plate 2 from left to right through the U-shaped mounting ports 21. At the same time, in order to seal the U-shaped mounting ports 21, the side plate 1 has a first sealing structure and the valve mounting plate 2 has a second sealing structure. By covering different positions of the U-shaped mounting ports 21, a sealed protection is formed, eliminating the need to use a separate sealing element for sealing to prevent insects and rodents, and avoiding safety-related problems of the air conditioner outdoor unit.
[0030] The first sealing structure is a baffle 13 provided in the mounting groove 11, and the baffle 13 is provided near the opening end of the U-shaped mounting port 21.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first seal is a baffle 13 connected to the mounting groove 11. The baffle 13 is set near the open end of the U-shaped mounting port 21. When the valve mounting plate 2 is installed in the mounting groove 11, it is used to close the open end of the U-shaped port to prevent insects, rodents or impurities from entering the air conditioner outdoor unit.
[0032] The mounting groove 11 and the baffle 13 are provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 12 that communicate with the valve mounting plate 2 for screw locking.
[0033] In this embodiment, the sidewall of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 12 along its contour. The baffle 13 is also provided with first mounting holes 12 that are coaxially aligned with the mounting groove 11, forming a continuous locking path. After the valve mounting plate 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, its edge is aligned with the first mounting holes 12. The screw passes through the baffle 13 and the sidewall of the mounting groove 11 in sequence, and is finally fastened to the valve mounting plate 2. By locking with screws, the baffle 13 not only serves as a sealing structure, but also as a fixing base for the mounting plate, increasing the fixing range of the valve mounting plate 2.
[0034] A bent edge 4 is provided between the baffle 13 and the mounting groove 11. The near end of the bent edge 4 is connected to the mounting groove 11, and the far end of the bent edge 4 is connected to the baffle 13, so that the baffle 13 and the mounting groove 11 are arranged parallel to each other.
[0035] In this embodiment, a bent edge 4 is provided between the baffle 13 and the mounting groove 11. The near end of the bent edge 4 is used to connect to the mounting groove 11, and the far end of the bent edge 4 is used to connect to the baffle 13, so that the baffle 13 and the mounting groove 11 are arranged parallel to each other. When the valve mounting plate 2 is installed in the mounting groove 11, the lower end of the valve mounting plate 2 is attached to the upper surface of the baffle 13, and the thickness of the valve mounting plate 2 should be the same as or slightly less than the thickness of the bent edge 4, so that the baffle 13 and the mounting groove 11 are parallel but staggered, forming a step-like structure, which provides additional fixing space for the valve mounting plate 2 without increasing the overall thickness.
[0036] The bent edge 4 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 41 at intervals, and the two ends of the reinforcing ribs 41 extend toward the mounting groove 11 and the baffle 13, respectively.
[0037] In this embodiment, three reinforcing ribs 41 are spaced apart on the bending edge 4 to form a regularly distributed reinforcing structure. The two ends of each reinforcing rib 41 extend toward the mounting groove 11 and the baffle 13 respectively, forming a support frame integrated with the bending edge 4, which greatly improves its bending stiffness.
[0038] The second sealing structure consists of multiple second mounting holes 22 on the valve mounting plate 2, and the shut-off valve 3 is located in the corresponding second mounting hole 22 to cover the closed end of the U-shaped mounting port 21.
[0039] In this embodiment, the second sealing structure consists of multiple second mounting holes 22 provided on the valve mounting plate 2, which are used to directly install the shut-off valve 3. The shut-off valve 3 is fixed to the valve mounting plate 2 through the second mounting holes 22, and its valve body covers the closed end of the U-shaped mounting port 21 to form a physical seal. The baffle 13 covers the open end of the U-shaped port, and the shut-off valve 3 covers the closed end of the U-shaped port. The two work together to achieve full circumferential sealing without the need for additional sealing components, thus reducing redundant parts.
[0040] The valve mounting plate 2 is provided with a mounting boss 24, which is arranged parallel to the baffle 13, and the second mounting hole 22 is located on the mounting boss 24.
[0041] In this embodiment, a mounting boss 24 is provided on the valve mounting plate 2 as a mounting base for the gate valve 3. The second mounting hole 22 is provided on the mounting boss 24 and is not directly opened on the plane of the valve mounting plate 2, which can provide more stable support. The mounting boss 24 provides a flat mounting surface to ensure that the gate valve 3 fits tightly with the valve mounting plate 2. The mounting boss 24 and the baffle 13 are kept parallel to ensure that the gate valve 3 is flat after installation, avoiding uneven load. It also ensures that the closed end of the U-shaped mounting port 21 is covered by the gate valve 3 to avoid large gaps caused by misalignment.
[0042] The mounting boss 24 is provided with a clearance groove 5.
[0043] In this embodiment, when installing the shut-off valve 3, a clearance groove 5 is machined on the mounting boss 24 to provide operating space for the shut-off valve 3 during installation, such as when installing the pipe plug cap on the shut-off valve 3, to avoid interference with it.
[0044] This embodiment also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, including the installation structure described above. The specific structure of the air conditioner outdoor unit is the same as described in the above embodiment. Since this air conditioner outdoor unit adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
