Description

[Technical Field] This utility model mainly relates to a waterproof structure for the top cover of a ground source heat pump. [Background Technology] Ground source heat pump units are typically installed outdoors to avoid taking up indoor space. However, due to long-term direct exposure to the outdoors, rainwater can directly impact the unit and cause corrosion to its surface. In light of this, we have developed a waterproof structure for ground source heat pump units. [Utility Model Content] To solve at least one of the above problems, this utility model proposes a new structural solution. The waterproof structure for the top cover of a ground source heat pump adopts the following technical solution: A waterproof structure for the top cover of a ground source heat pump includes an outdoor heat pump unit and a top cover. The outdoor heat pump unit has a handle, and the top cover includes a support rod and a top cover. The top end of the support rod is fixed to the top cover, and the other end is connected to the handle to fix the top cover, so as to block rainwater from directly impacting the outdoor heat pump unit.

[0001] Preferably, the handle protrudes from the side of the heat pump outdoor unit, and the handle has a through hole for the support rod to pass through. The support rod is screwed with screws to fix the support rod to the handle.

[0002] Preferably, the area of ​​the top cover is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the heat pump outdoor unit.

[0003] Preferably, the top cover is V-shaped.

[0004] Preferably, the end face of the top cover is coated with polyurethane waterproof coating.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are: This solution adds a top cover to the outdoor unit of the heat pump unit, shielding it from rainwater and preventing direct impact, thereby reducing corrosion on the unit's surface and extending its service life. It boasts advantages such as simple structure, compact fit, and rational design; therefore, it is a product with superior technical and economic performance. [Attached Image Description] Figure 1 A first-view schematic diagram of the waterproof structure of the top cover of the ground source heat pump unit in a preferred embodiment of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a second-view schematic diagram of the waterproof structure of the top cover of the ground source heat pump unit in a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0006] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "assembly," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can also refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium; or they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0007] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates specific embodiments of the present invention, making the technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer and more explicit. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0008] The preferred embodiment provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a waterproof structure for a ground source heat pump unit's top cover includes a heat pump outdoor unit 1 and a top cover 2. The heat pump outdoor unit 1 has a handle 11, and the top cover 2 includes a support rod 21 and a top cover 22. The end face of the top cover is coated with polyurethane waterproof coating to limit rainwater accumulation on the top cover and improve its service life. The top end of the support rod 21 is fixed to the top cover 22, and the other end is connected to the handle 11 to fix the top cover 2, thereby preventing rainwater from directly impacting the heat pump outdoor unit 1.

[0009] The handle 11 protrudes from the side of the heat pump outdoor unit 1. The handle 11 is provided with a through hole 12 for the support rod 21 to pass through. The support rod 21 is screwed with a screw 23 to fix the support rod 21 to the handle 11.

[0010] The area of ​​the top cover 22 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the heat pump outdoor unit 1, so as to completely cover the top of the heat pump outdoor unit 1. The top cover 22 is V-shaped so that rainwater falling on the top cover 22 can slide off and drain.

[0011] Ground source heat pump units are typically installed outdoors to avoid occupying indoor space. However, due to prolonged direct exposure to the outdoors, rainwater can directly impact the unit, causing corrosion to its surface. Therefore, this solution includes adding a top cover to the outdoor ground source heat pump unit. For easy installation, the outdoor unit's handle has a through-hole; the top cover's support rod is inserted into this hole and secured with screws. To facilitate drainage, the top cover features a V-shaped structure. Debris and rainwater dripping onto the sloping end face will slide off. Since the top cover's cross-sectional area is larger than the outdoor unit's width, it effectively blocks vertical or inclined debris, acting like a protective umbrella.

[0012] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "preferred," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. Illustrative expressions of the above terms in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0013] Based on the above description of the structure and principle, those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Improvements and substitutions based on this utility model using techniques known in the art all fall within the protection scope of this utility model and should be defined by the claims.
