Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically relating to a ceiling-mounted air conditioner and its water tray assembly and water tray insert structure. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional ceiling fan units are mainly composed of a base plate, side plates, fan blades, motor, evaporator components, and a drip tray, all of which are combined to form a complete unit. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the existing ceiling air conditioner's water tray 1 is equipped with a first insert 2, a second insert 3, and a third insert 4. The first insert 2 has a cable routing groove 21 for cable routing. The first insert 2 is used to secure itself to the water tray 1, separating the water tray 1 and the cables through the cable routing groove 21. The second insert 3 is used to be fixedly connected to the main mounting plate 8 of the ceiling air conditioner. The main mounting plate 8 is used to fix itself to the casing of the ceiling air conditioner, allowing the ceiling air conditioner to be suspended from the boom via the main mounting plate 8. The third insert 4 is used to be fixedly connected to the electrical box 5 of the ceiling air conditioner.

[0003] The drip tray 1 is typically made of foam. During production, the first insert 2, the second insert 3, and the third insert 4 need to be placed into the mold sequentially. Then, foam particles are injected into the mold to foam the inserts, thus securing them onto the drip tray 1. Because the first insert 2, the second insert 3, and the third insert 4 need to be placed into the mold sequentially, the process is time-consuming, resulting in low production efficiency. Therefore, this problem needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a ceiling-mounted air conditioner and its water tray assembly and water tray insert structure. The main technical problem to be solved is: how to improve the efficiency of assembling the first insert, the second insert and the third insert onto the water tray.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a water tray insert structure for a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, which includes a first insert, a second insert, and a third insert. The first insert is provided with a cable routing groove for cable routing. The first insert is used to be fixed to the water tray of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner, so as to separate the water tray and the cable through the cable routing groove. The second insert is used for fixed connection with the main mounting plate of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner; The third insert is used for fixed connection with the electrical box of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner; The first insert, the second insert, and the third insert are integrally formed.

[0006] In some embodiments, the second insert is provided with a first screw connection hole for fixed connection to the main mounting plate through the first screw connection hole.

[0007] In some embodiments, the third insert is provided with a second screw connection hole for fixed connection with the electrical box through the second screw connection hole.

[0008] In some embodiments, the second insert is used to secure the water receiving tray; And / or, the third insert is used to secure the water tray.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first insert, the second insert, and the third insert are integrally formed to form a three-in-one insert; wherein the three-in-one insert is a metal part.

[0010] This utility model provides a water receiving tray assembly, which includes the water receiving tray insert structure of the ceiling air conditioner described in any one of the above-mentioned methods.

[0011] This utility model provides a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, which includes the water tray insert structure of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner described in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0012] In some embodiments, when the first insert, the second insert, and the third insert are integrally formed to form a three-in-one insert, and the three-in-one insert is a metal part, the ceiling-mounted air conditioner also includes a housing. The housing has a fixedly connected bottom plate and a side plate. The main mounting plate is fixed to the side plate. The box body, the bottom plate, the side plate, and the main mounting plate of the electrical box are all metal parts. The three-in-one insert is in contact with the box body and the main mounting plate of the electrical box. The main mounting plate is in contact with the side plate, and the side plate is in contact with the bottom plate.

[0013] In some embodiments, when the second insert has a first screw connection hole for fixed connection with the main mounting plate, the second insert has a first connecting plate, and the first screw connection hole is disposed on the first connecting plate; the three-in-one insert abuts against the main mounting plate through the first connecting plate, so that the three-in-one insert and the main mounting plate remain in contact.

[0014] In some embodiments, when the third insert is provided with a second screw connection hole for fixed connection with the electrical box through the second screw connection hole, the third insert has a second connecting plate, and the second screw connection hole is disposed on the second connecting plate; the three-in-one insert abuts against the body of the electrical box through the second connecting plate, so that the three-in-one insert and the body of the electrical box remain in contact.

[0015] The ceiling-mounted air conditioner and its water tray assembly and water tray insert structure provided by this utility model have the following beneficial effects: 1. Since the first, second, and third inserts are integrally molded, forming a single three-in-one insert, production only requires placing this three-in-one insert into the mold, then filling the mold with foam particles for foaming, thus achieving the purpose of embedding the first, second, and third inserts onto the drip tray. Compared to the existing technology that requires three separate insertions into the mold, this invention only requires a single insertion, saving two insertion operations and thus saving time and improving the efficiency of assembling the first, second, and third inserts onto the drip tray.

[0016] 2. The electrical box of this utility model maintains good conductivity with the base plate through the three-in-one insert, the main mounting plate and the side plate in sequence, thus achieving reliable grounding of the electrical box. This eliminates the need for two additional grounding screws and a grounding wire, thereby saving costs and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] See also Figure 2-6As shown in the figure, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a water tray insert structure for a joist air conditioner is provided, comprising a first insert 2, a second insert 3, and a third insert 4. The first insert 2 is provided with a cable routing groove 21 for cable routing. The cable can be a motor wire, etc. The first insert 2 is used to fix the water tray 1 of the joist air conditioner, so as to separate the water tray 1 and the cable through the cable routing groove 21. The second insert 3 is used to fixally connect to the main mounting plate 8 of the joist air conditioner. The main mounting plate 8 is used to fix to the casing of the joist air conditioner, so that the joist air conditioner can be hoisted on the hoisting rod through the main mounting plate 8. The third insert 4 is used to fixally connect to the electrical box 5 of the joist air conditioner. The first insert 2, the second insert 3, and the third insert 4 are integrally formed structures.

[0025] In the above example, since the first insert 2, the second insert 3, and the third insert 4 are integrally molded, they form a single three-in-one insert 10. Therefore, during production, it is only necessary to place this three-in-one insert 10 into the mold, and then fill the mold with foam particles for foaming, thus achieving the purpose of embedding the first insert 2, the second insert 3, and the third insert 4 onto the drip tray 1. Compared to the existing technology that requires three insertion actions to place the first insert 2, the second insert 3, and the third insert 4 into the mold sequentially, the present invention only requires a single insertion action to place the three-in-one insert 10 into the mold, thus saving two insertion actions and saving time, improving the efficiency of assembling the first insert 2, the second insert 3, and the third insert 4 onto the drip tray 1.

[0026] In some implementations, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the aforementioned second insert 3 may be provided with a first screw connection hole 31 for fixed connection with the main mounting plate 8 through the first screw connection hole 31. Specifically, the main mounting plate 8 may be provided with a first threaded hole, and a first screw may pass through the first screw connection hole 31 and be threaded into the first threaded hole, so that the second insert 3 is fixedly connected to the main mounting plate 8 through the first screw.

[0027] In some implementations, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the aforementioned third insert 4 may be provided with a second screw connection hole 41 for fixed connection with the electrical box 5 through the second screw connection hole 41. Specifically, the electrical box 5 may be provided with a screw through hole 51, and the second screw connection hole 41 may be a threaded hole. The second screw may pass through the screw through hole 51 and be threaded into the second screw connection hole 41 so that the third insert 4 is fixedly connected to the electrical box 5 through the second screw.

[0028] In some embodiments, the aforementioned second insert 3 is used to secure the water tray 1; and / or, the third insert 4 is used to secure the water tray 1.

[0029] In the above example, by embedding the first insert 2, the second insert 3 and the third insert 4 into the water tray 1, the connection stability between the three-in-one insert 10 and the water tray 1 can be improved.

[0030] In some implementations, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, the aforementioned first insert 2, second insert 3, and third insert 4 are integrally formed to form a three-in-one insert 10. This three-in-one insert 10 is a metal component. When the three-in-one insert 10 is fixed and in contact with the main mounting plate 8 and the electrical box 5 via screws, the main mounting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the base plate 6 of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner and maintains good contact. This allows the electrical box 5 to maintain electrical conductivity with the base plate 6 of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner through the three-in-one insert 10 and the main mounting plate 8, thereby achieving reliable grounding of the electrical box 5.

[0031] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a water tray assembly, which may include the water tray insert structure of any of the above-mentioned ceiling-mounted air conditioners.

[0032] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, which includes the water tray insert structure of any of the above-mentioned ceiling-mounted air conditioners.

[0033] In some implementations, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, when the first insert 2, the second insert 3, and the third insert 4 are integrally formed to form a three-in-one insert 10, and the three-in-one insert 10 is a metal part, the aforementioned ceiling-mounted air conditioner also includes a housing. The housing has a fixedly connected base plate 6 and side plate 7, which can be fixedly connected by screws. The aforementioned main mounting plate 8 is fixed to the side plate 7. The box body, base plate 6, side plate 7, and main mounting plate 8 of the electrical box 5 are all metal parts, and the three-in-one insert 10 is in contact with the box body and the main mounting plate 8 of the electrical box 5. The main mounting plate 8 is in contact with the side plate 7, and the side plate 7 is in contact with the base plate 6.

[0034] In the above example, since the body, base plate 6, side plate 7, main mounting plate 8, and three-in-one insert 10 of the electrical box 5 are all metal parts, when the body of the electrical box 5 is in contact with the three-in-one insert 10, the three-in-one insert 10 is in contact with the main mounting plate 8, the main mounting plate 8 is in contact with the side plate 7, and the side plate 7 is in contact with the base plate 6, the body of the electrical box 5 can maintain good conductivity with the base plate 6 through the three-in-one insert 10, the main mounting plate 8, and the side plate 7 in sequence, thereby achieving reliable grounding of the electrical box 5.

[0035] It should be noted that in the existing technology, the grounding method of the electrical box 5 and the base plate 6 of the ceiling machine is as follows: a ground wire connects the box body of the electrical box 5 and the base plate 6. One end of the ground wire is driven into the electrical box 5 with a grounding screw, and the other end is driven into the base plate 6 with a grounding screw. This grounding method requires two screws and a ground wire, which is inefficient and costly. In contrast, the electrical box 5 of this invention maintains good conductivity with the base plate 6 through the three-in-one insert 10, the main mounting plate 8, and the side plate 7, thus achieving reliable grounding of the electrical box 5. This eliminates the need for two additional grounding screws and a ground wire, thereby saving costs and improving production efficiency.

[0036] In order to keep the three-in-one insert 10 in contact with the main mounting plate 8, in some embodiments, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, when the second insert 3 is provided with a first screw connection hole 31 for fixed connection with the main mounting plate 8 through the first screw connection hole 31, the second insert 3 has a first connecting plate 30, and the aforementioned first screw connection hole 31 is provided on the first connecting plate 30. The aforementioned three-in-one insert 10 abuts against the main mounting plate 8 through the first connecting plate 30, so that the three-in-one insert 10 and the main mounting plate 8 remain in contact.

[0037] In order to keep the three-in-one insert 10 in contact with the housing of the electrical box 5, in some embodiments, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, when the third insert 4 is provided with a second screw connection hole 41 for fixed connection with the electrical box 5 through the second screw connection hole 41, the third insert 4 has a second connecting plate 40, and the aforementioned second screw connection hole 41 is provided on the second connecting plate 40. The aforementioned three-in-one insert 10 abuts against the body of the electrical box 5 through the second connecting plate 40, so that the three-in-one insert 10 and the body of the electrical box 5 remain in contact.

[0038] In some embodiments, the aforementioned ceiling fan also includes fan blades, a motor, and an evaporator component. Both the housing of the aforementioned electrical box 5 and the three-in-one insert 10 can be sheet metal parts. The aforementioned three-in-one insert 10 connects both the main mounting plate 8 and the electrical box 5. The main mounting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side plate 7 by screws, and the side plate 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 6 by screws, forming a new reliable grounding structure. The electrical box 5 is grounded to the base plate 6 via the three-in-one insert 10. The three-in-one insert 10 is connected to the main mounting plate 8 by a first screw, which also serves to fix the water tray 1. The three-in-one insert 10 is connected to the electrical box 5 by a second screw, which also serves to fix the electrical box 5. The electrical box 5 does not need to be grounded separately via two grounding screws and a ground wire.

[0039] This utility model combines three original independent first inserts 2, second inserts 3 and third inserts 4 into a three-in-one insert 10, which improves production efficiency on the one hand, and also provides conductivity by combining them together, thereby forming a reliable ground, saving costs and improving production efficiency.

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model solves the problems of numerous sheet metal inserts on the water receiving tray 1 of existing ceiling hoists, resulting in low production efficiency. It also solves the problems of low installation efficiency and high cost associated with grounding the electrical box 5 and the base plate 6 of existing ceiling hoists. The technical solution of this utility model can improve production efficiency and reduce unit costs.

[0041] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that, without conflict, the advantageous technical features of the above-mentioned methods can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model.
