Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to an anti-condensation component and a wall-mounted air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, air conditioners release heat from the heat exchanger inside the main unit, which then blows it out through the air outlet of the panel assembly, thus regulating the room temperature. When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, it blows out cold air, while the components around the air outlet are relatively warm, making them prone to condensation and affecting the user experience. To address this, air conditioners typically have foam strips above the air outlet. These foam strips provide insulation and a seal, preventing warm, humid air from entering the cold area and effectively preventing condensation. In existing technology, the panel assembly consists of a base and a frame. The base has screw posts near the air outlet, and the frame is fixed to the base by screws tightened into these posts. To avoid these screw posts, the foam strips use a multi-section structure, with each section positioned between adjacent screw posts. During production, these sections need to be glued to the base, a cumbersome and labor-intensive process. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an anti-condensation component and air conditioner unit that eliminates the need for glue to fix the foam strip, making installation convenient, significantly reducing assembly difficulty, saving processes, increasing production, and reducing labor costs.
[0004] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is:
[0005] An anti-condensation component includes a base and a face frame. The base has multiple screw posts, and the face frame has mounting holes. Screws pass through the mounting holes and are tightened onto the screw posts to form a panel assembly. The bottom of the panel assembly has an air outlet, and a foam strip is provided at the air outlet. A heat insulation cavity is provided between the base and the face frame above the air outlet. The screw posts are located inside the heat insulation cavity. The foam strip includes an integrally formed body with through holes corresponding to the screw posts. The through holes are fitted onto the screw posts, and the body is pressed against the base by the face frame to fill the heat insulation cavity.
[0006] Furthermore, the through hole is interference-fitted onto the screw post.
[0007] Furthermore, the base has a strip-shaped groove extending along its length above the air outlet, and the strip-shaped groove forms the heat insulation cavity with the face frame; the back of the body has a protrusion that matches the strip-shaped groove, and the front has an irregularly shaped surface that matches the back of the face frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the opening of the strip groove near the face frame is trumpet-shaped.
[0009] Furthermore, the strip groove is provided with a reinforcing groove, and the protrusion is provided with a reinforcing block corresponding to the reinforcing groove. The upper and lower surfaces of the reinforcing block are respectively provided with protruding ridges, and the reinforcing block is interference-fitted into the reinforcing groove through the protruding ridges.
[0010] Furthermore, the through hole is a tapered hole, with the inner diameter of one end near the face frame being smaller than the outer diameter of the screw post, and the inner diameter of the other end being larger than the outer diameter of the screw post.
[0011] Furthermore, the strip groove is provided with a buckle extending toward the face frame, and the face frame is provided with a slot corresponding to the buckle, and the buckle is fitted into the slot; the upper end of the body is provided with a relief groove corresponding to the buckle, thereby forming an upwardly extending blocking part on both sides of the relief groove.
[0012] An air conditioner unit includes an anti-condensation component as described above.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] (1) This utility model reserves a heat insulation cavity above the air outlet and sets the screw post for connecting the base and the face frame inside it, changing the existing segmented structure of the foam strip and optimizing the foam strip into an integrated structure. The screw post is used as the positioning part of the foam strip. When the face frame is installed on the base, the foam strip is pressed in synchronously, so that the foam strip is filled in the heat insulation cavity without the need for glue fixation. The installation is convenient, significantly reducing the difficulty of assembly operation, saving processes, increasing production and reducing labor costs.
[0015] (2) The present invention sets the through hole and the screw post to an interference fit. When installing the foam strip, the inner wall of the through hole tightly wraps the surface of the screw post, avoiding loosening during transportation. The foam strip can be pre-installed on the base before the panel assembly is assembled, saving transportation space and cost, and avoiding the phenomenon of easy breakage of the foam strip due to separate transportation.
[0016] (3) This utility model changes the planar structure design of the existing foam strip. Since there is no need for glue bonding and no need to consider the uniformity of glue coating, the front and back of the traditional foam strip are designed according to the shape of the insulation cavity, so that the shape of the foam strip fits the inner wall of the insulation cavity more closely, improves the sealing between the foam strip and the face frame, can more effectively avoid condensation, and improve the user experience.
[0017] (4) This utility model makes it easier to install foam strips by setting the opening of the strip groove in a funnel shape.
[0018] (5) This utility model further improves the installation firmness of foam strips by adding an interference fit reinforcing groove and a reinforcing block.
[0019] (6) By setting the through hole as a tapered hole, this utility model can achieve an interference fit with the screw post, and at the same time facilitate the insertion of the screw post into the tapered hole, making installation convenient.
[0020] (7) By adding a slot and a buckle between the face frame and the base, the present invention enables the panel assembly to be pre-fixed quickly during assembly, and extends the top of the foam strip upward as much as possible to form a blocking part, increasing the contact area between the foam strip and the base and face frame on both sides, thereby achieving a better effect of blocking the contact of hot and cold airflows and further avoiding condensation.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0032] (Example)
[0033] To prevent condensation near the air outlet, existing wall-mounted air conditioners typically use adhesive to attach a foam component 100 above the air outlet, forming an anti-condensation assembly. This prevents the hot air inside the unit from contacting the cold air at the outlet and causing condensation when in cooling mode. Figure 1 As shown, the foam component 100 is installed using adhesive, which is cumbersome. Furthermore, the surface of the foam component 100 is flat, making it difficult to adhere to adjacent plastic components. Therefore, a small amount of condensation is inevitable when the air conditioner is running for extended periods. To address this, this embodiment provides a wall-mounted air conditioner that uses... Figures 2 to 6 The anti-condensation component shown does not require glue to fix the foam component 100, making installation convenient, significantly reducing assembly difficulty, saving processes, increasing production, and reducing labor costs.
[0034] Specifically, the anti-condensation component includes a base 1 and a face frame 2. The base 1 has multiple screw posts 3, and the face frame 2 has mounting holes 4. Screws are passed through the mounting holes 4 and tightened onto the screw posts 3 to form the panel assembly of the air conditioner. The inner cavity of the panel assembly is used to house the heat exchanger. An air outlet 5 is provided at the bottom, and a foam strip 6 is provided at the air outlet 5. A heat insulation cavity is provided between the base 1 and the face frame 2 above the air outlet 5. The screw posts 3 are located in the heat insulation cavity. The foam strip 6 includes an integrally formed body with through holes 6-1 corresponding to the screw posts 3. The screw posts 3 are used as the positioning point for the foam strip 6. The through holes 6-1 are fitted onto the screw posts 3. The face frame 2 is pressed against the base 1 to automatically fill the heat insulation cavity with the foam strip 6, making installation convenient.
[0035] A strip-shaped groove 1-1 extending along its length is provided on the base 1 above the air outlet 5, forming a heat insulation cavity between the strip-shaped groove 1-1 and the face frame 2. The back of the main body has a protrusion 6-2 that matches the strip-shaped groove 1-1, and the front has an irregularly shaped surface 6-3 that matches the back of the face frame 2. By changing the existing planar structure design of the foam strip, since glue is not required and the uniformity of glue application is not a concern, the front and back of the traditional foam strip are designed to conform to the shape of the heat insulation cavity. This makes the shape of the foam strip 6 fit the inner wall of the heat insulation cavity more closely, improving the sealing between the foam strip 6 and the face frame 2, more effectively preventing condensation, and enhancing the user experience.
[0036] To improve the installation stability of the foam strip 6, the through hole 6-1 in this embodiment is designed as a tapered hole, with the inner diameter of one end near the face frame 2 being smaller than the outer diameter of the screw post 3, and the inner diameter of the other end being larger than the outer diameter of the screw post 3. This allows the through hole 6-1 to be interference-fitted onto the screw post 3, while also facilitating the insertion of the screw post 3 into the tapered hole. In addition, a reinforcing groove 1-1-1 is provided in the strip-shaped groove 1-1-1, and a reinforcing block 6-2-1 corresponding to the reinforcing groove 1-1-1 is provided on the protrusion 6-2. The upper and lower surfaces of the reinforcing block 6-2-1 are respectively provided with protruding ridges 6-2-2, and the reinforcing block 6-2-1 is interference-fitted into the reinforcing groove 1-1-1 through the protruding ridges 6-2-2.
[0037] To facilitate the installation of the foam strip 6, in this embodiment, the opening of the strip groove 1-1 near the face frame 2 is designed as a trumpet shape, so that the foam strip 6 can be inserted into the strip groove 1-1 along the opening.
[0038] The strip groove 1-1 is also provided with a buckle 1-2 extending towards the face frame 2. The face frame 2 has a corresponding slot for the buckle 1-2. The buckle 1-2 is snapped into the slot, allowing for quick pre-fixation during panel assembly. The upper end of the main body is provided with a relief groove 6-4 corresponding to the buckle 1-2, thereby forming upwardly extending blocking parts 6-5 on both sides of the relief groove 6-4. This increases the contact area between the foam strip 6 and the base 1 and face frame 2 on both sides, achieving a better effect of blocking the contact of hot and cold air currents and further preventing condensation.
[0039] This embodiment modifies the existing segmented structure of the foam strip by reserving a heat insulation cavity above the air outlet and placing the screw post 3 for connecting the base 1 and the face frame 3 inside it. The foam strip 6 is optimized into an integrated structure, and the screw post 3 serves as a positioning component for the foam strip 6. When the face frame 2 is installed on the base 1, the foam strip 6 is pressed in synchronously, so that the foam strip 6 is filled in the heat insulation cavity without the need for glue fixation. This makes installation convenient, significantly reduces the difficulty of assembly operations, saves processes, increases production, and reduces labor costs.
