DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0048] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The fan module 2 is mounted to the unit body 1 via the male connector 3 and the female connector 4; the male connector 3 is mounted in a floating position via the fixing member 5, and the female connector 4 is hot-swappable to the male connector 3.
[0050] According to the air-conditioning unit provided in this embodiment, the air-conditioning unit includes a unit body 1, a fan module 2, a male connector 3, a female connector 4 and a fixing part 5. The unit body 1 is the main structure of the air-conditioning unit, including structures such as an air filter section, a surface cooler section and an air humidification section. The fan module 2 is installed on the unit body 1. The fan module 2 is the air supply structure of the air-conditioning unit, on which a fan is provided. The fan module 2 and the unit body 1 are electrically connected through the male connector 3 and the female connector 4. Specifically, when the fan module 2 is installed on the unit body 1, the male connector 3 and the female connector 4 are docked, so that the power line and signal line between the unit body 1 and the fan module 2 can be connected.
[0051] Moreover, in this embodiment, the male connector 3 and the female connector 4 are hot-swappable, that is, the male connector 3 and the female connector 4 can be plugged in and out while powered on.

When the fan module 2 is installed on the unit body 1, the male connector 3 is also inserted into the female connector 4. The male connector 3 and the female connector 4 cooperate to provide power connection and signal connection for the fan and other electronic components on the fan module 2.
[0054] In the air-conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the male end connector 3 is installed with a floating limit by means of a fixing part 5, that is, the male end connector 3 is floating and limited on the use equipment (fan module 2 or unit body 1). In this way, when the male end connector 3 is docked with the female end connector 4, since the male end connector 3 can float within the preset limit, under the action of external thrust, the male end connector 3 can adjust its position within the preset deviation by itself, so that it can be successfully connected to the female end connector 4, so that the male end connector and the female end connector can still achieve accurate, reliable and quick connection within the preset deviation, without the need for 100% alignment, and the connection efficiency is higher.
[0055] The air conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 to 7. Specifically, the male end connector 3 is installed on the fan module 2, and the female end connector 4 is installed on the unit body 1; the fan module 2 is provided with a first mounting hole 21; the male end connector 3 is provided with a first mounting portion 31, a second mounting hole 32 and a plug-in portion 33; the plug-in portion 33 is provided on a first side 311 of the first mounting portion 31, wherein a male terminal for plugging and unplugging is provided on the plug-in portion 33, and the second mounting hole 32 is provided at both ends of the first mounting portion 31; the first end 51 of the fixing member 5 is fixed to the first The mounting hole 21, the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 is passed through the second mounting hole 32, and there is a gap between the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 and the second mounting hole 32. In this way, since there is a gap between the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 and the second mounting hole 32, the male end connector 3 can be floatingly limited relative to the fixing member 5, wherein the specific size of the floating limit can be set according to the preset, that is, the size of the gap between the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 and the second mounting hole 32 is a preset value, which can be specifically limited according to the empirical value of the actual application scenario, and is not limited here.
[0056] According to the air conditioning unit provided in this embodiment, specifically, the male connector 3 is mounted on the fan module 2 and is electrically and signal-connected to the fan and other electronic components within the fan module 2. The female connector 4 is mounted on the unit body 1 and is electrically connected to the power supply within the unit body 1.
[0057] In this embodiment, a first mounting hole 21 is provided on the fan module 2 , and the fixing member 5 cooperates with the first mounting hole 21 to mount the male end connector 3 on the fan module 2 in a floating limited manner.
[0058] The male connector 3 is configured with a first mounting portion 31, a second mounting hole 32, and an insertion portion 33. The first mounting portion 31 has a first side 311 and a second side 312 that oppose each other. The insertion portion 33 is located on the first side 311 and is used for electrical and signal connection with the female connector 4. The second mounting holes 32 are located at both ends of the first mounting portion 31. At least one second mounting hole 32 is provided at each end of the first mounting portion 31 to ensure the stability of the male connector 3 after installation on the wind turbine module 2.
[0059] The fixing member 5 has a first end 51 and a second end 52 opposite to each other. The first end 51 corresponds to the first mounting hole 21 . For example, if the first mounting hole 21 is a threaded hole, the first end 51 is provided with a threaded structure corresponding to the first mounting hole 21 .
[0060] Optionally, the first end 51 of the fixing member 5 and the first mounting hole 21 may be fixed by means of clamping or welding.
[0061] The second end 52 of the fixing member 5 is inserted into the second mounting hole 32 , and a gap is provided between the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 and the inner wall of the second mounting hole 32 so that the male connector 3 can be mounted on the fan module 2 in a floating limited manner.
[0062] During assembly, place the male connector 3 on the fan module 2 , pass the first end 51 of the fixing member 5 through the second mounting hole 32 and connect it to the first mounting hole 21 , while keeping the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 located in the second mounting hole 32 .
[0063] The air-conditioning unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, is further provided with a second mounting portion 34 on the male end connector 3, and the second mounting portion 34 is arranged on the second side 312 of the first mounting portion 31; the fan module 2 is further provided with a mounting groove 22, the first mounting portion 31 is arranged outside the mounting groove 22, and the second mounting portion 34 is installed in the mounting groove 22, and there is a gap between the second mounting portion 34 and the side wall of the groove body of the mounting groove 22.
[0064] Furthermore, the male end connector 3 is further provided with a second mounting portion 34 , which is located on the second side 312 of the first mounting portion 31 . Optionally, the first mounting portion 31 and the second mounting portion 34 are an integrated structure.
[0065] In this way, the floating limit between the upper and lower parts and the left and right parts is adapted by the second mounting portion 34 and the mounting groove 22, so that the floating limit is more accurate and the overall mounting structure of the male end connector 3 is more stable and reliable.
[0066] The fan module 2 is provided with a mounting slot 22 for accommodating the second mounting portion 34 of the male connector 3. During assembly, the second mounting portion 34 fits into the mounting slot 22, while the first mounting portion 31 is positioned outside the mounting slot 22. Furthermore, a gap exists between the second mounting portion 34 and the body of the mounting slot 22, allowing the male connector 3 to be mounted on the fan module 2 with a floating stop.
[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment, a mounting hole or a notch or other structure may be provided on the fan module 2 for mounting the second mounting portion 34 .
[0068] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 , the second side 312 of the first mounting portion 31 also abuts the upper side of the mounting groove 22, and the depth of the mounting groove 22 is equal to the height of the second mounting portion 34. As mentioned above, the first mounting portion 31 is located outside the mounting groove. In this embodiment, the second side 312 of the first mounting portion 31 also abuts the upper side of the mounting groove 22. That is, when the second mounting portion 34 is installed in the mounting groove 22, the first mounting portion 31 contacts the outer edge of the mounting groove 22.
[0069] In this embodiment, the depth of the mounting groove 22 is also equal to the height of the mounting portion to ensure the stability of the male connector 3 .
[0070] In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 31 is a plate-shaped structure, the second mounting portion 34 is a block-shaped structure, and the first mounting portion 31 and the second mounting portion 34 are integrally formed.
[0071] Specifically, the second mounting portion 34 is a rectangular block, the shape of the mounting groove 22 is the same as that of the second mounting portion 34, and the length and width dimensions of the second mounting portion 34 are smaller than the length and width dimensions of the mounting groove 22, so that a gap can be formed between the second mounting portion 34 and the mounting groove 22.
[0072] The air-conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 3 to 7, has the second mounting hole 32 as an arc-shaped mounting hole, so that the weight of the male end connector 3 can be reduced and materials can be saved. In addition, the arc-shaped notch portion is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 and larger than the cross-sectional size of the first end 51 of the fixing member 5. This makes it possible to remove and replace the male end connector 3 without completely disassembling the fixing member 5. The fixing member 5 only needs to be screwed to a position where its first end 51 is aligned with the second mounting hole 32, and the male end connector 3 can be removed, thereby preventing the fixing member 5 from being lost easily.
[0073] Moreover, in this embodiment, the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 is circular, and there is a gap between the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 and the second mounting hole 32 , that is, the radius of the second end 52 of the fixing member 5 is smaller than the radius of the second mounting hole 32 .
[0074] In the air conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 3 to 7 , the fixing member 5 is a stepped screw 53. The stepped screw 53 includes a screw shaft 531, a polished rod 532, and a head 533, which are sequentially arranged. The cross-sectional areas of the head 533, the polished rod 532, and the screw shaft 531 decrease along the direction from the head 533 to the screw shaft 531. In addition, the screw 531 is fixed to the first mounting hole 21, the light rod 532 is sleeved in the second mounting hole 32, and the cross-sectional size of the head 533 is larger than the aperture of the second mounting hole 32; in this way, the male end connector 3 can be limited forward and backward by the head 533, and in this way, the second mounting portion 34 and the mounting groove 22 are adapted to each other, so that the male end connector 3 can be floated and limited between the upper and lower parts, and between the left and right parts, and the male end connector 3 can be floated and limited forward and backward by the head 533, so that the male end connector 3 has a preset floating position in the upper and lower parts, left and right parts, and front and back parts, so that when the male end connector 3 and the female end connector 4 are hot-plugged, they can be accurately and quickly connected within the preset floating position deviation.
[0075] In this embodiment, the fixing member 5 is preferably a stepped screw 53. Accordingly, the second mounting hole 32 is a threaded hole formed on the fan module 2 and corresponding to the stepped screw 53. The stepped screw 53 is composed of a head 533, a polished rod 532, and a screw 531, which are arranged in this order. Furthermore, the cross-sectional areas of the head 533, the polished rod 532, and the screw 531 gradually decrease along the direction from the head 533 to the screw 531.
[0076] In this embodiment, the screw rod 531, that is, the part of the stepped screw 53 engraved with threads, is used to connect to the first mounting hole 21; the smooth rod 532, which is a smooth shaft, is used to connect to the second mounting hole 32; the head 533 is used to fix the male end connector 3 to prevent the second mounting hole 32 from separating from the smooth rod 532.
[0077] During assembly, the screw rod 531 is passed through the sliding portion and connected to the internal threaded hole. The second mounting hole 32 is sleeved on the polished rod 532 , and the first mounting portion 31 is located between the outer edge of the first mounting hole 21 and the head 533 .
[0078] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fixing member 5 may also be an ordinary screw. Optionally, the threaded section and the polished rod 532 section may be separated on the threaded section.
[0079] Optionally, in this embodiment, the male connector 3 and the fan module 2 may be connected via a pin, which may be a stepped shaft. Accordingly, the first mounting hole 21 is a shaft hole. The pin and the fan module 2 may be fixedly connected or removably connected.
[0080] In this embodiment, the second mounting hole 32 is an arc-shaped hole. Furthermore, the second mounting hole 32 is a semicircular hole. In this embodiment, the semicircular hole is a notch structure.
[0081] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second mounting hole 32 may also be a closed-loop hole, a V-shaped hole, etc., which are opened on the sliding portion.
[0082] The air-conditioning unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 to 7, and the unit main body 1 is provided with several positioning frames 11, and each positioning frame 11 is provided with a fixed sheet metal 12; the fan module 2 includes a frame 23 and a fan body 24 arranged in the frame 23, and the frame 23 is installed in the positioning frame 11; a third mounting hole 121 is provided on the fixed sheet metal 12, and the female end connector 4 is installed in the third mounting hole 121.
[0083] In this embodiment, the unit body 1 is provided with several positioning frames 11, each of which corresponds to a fan module 2. Optionally, the positioning frames 11 are formed by connecting metal plates end-to-end to form a closed loop. The positioning frames 11 are used to mount the fan modules 2. The fan module 2 includes a frame 23 and a fan body 24. The fan body 24 is the fan described above and is disposed within the frame 23. The frame 23 has the same shape as the positioning frames 11. Similarly, the frame 23 is a metal frame.
[0084] During assembly, the frame 23 is aligned with the positioning frame 11 , and the frame 23 is inserted into the positioning frame 11 .
[0085] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fan module 2 may be installed by providing structures such as slots or holes on the unit body 1 .
[0086] Optionally, a plurality of fan bodies 24 may be provided in the frame 23 . For example, in this embodiment, six fan bodies 24 are provided in the frame 23 , and the six fan bodies 24 are arranged in a rectangular array in the frame 23 .
[0087] In this embodiment, a fixing sheet metal 12 is further provided in the positioning frame 11. The fixing sheet metal 12 is used to install the female end structure. For ease of installation, the fixing sheet metal is optionally in an L-shaped structure.
[0088] In this embodiment, a third mounting hole 121 is provided on the fixed sheet metal 12 , and the female end connector 4 is installed in the third mounting hole 121 . Optionally, the female end connector 4 can be fixed by screws.
[0089] In this embodiment, specifically, the fixing sheet metal 12 is disposed on the inner edge of the positioning frame 11 and is fixed to the positioning frame 11 by screws.
[0090] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fixed sheet metal 12 and the positioning frame 11 may be connected by welding or other methods.
[0091] Optionally, in this embodiment, the female end connector 4 can be installed by providing a structure such as a groove on the inner edge of the positioning frame 11 .
[0092] In the air-conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 3 to 7 , the fan module 2 is further provided with a latch 61. The unit body 1 is provided with a pin hole 62 corresponding to the latch 61.
[0093] In this embodiment, a latch 61 is provided on the back of the fan module 2, and a pin hole 62 corresponding to the latch 61 is provided on the unit body 1. During assembly, the latch 61 cooperates with the pin hole to position the fan module 2, ensuring accuracy during assembly of the fan module 2.
[0094] In the air conditioning unit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, a first chamfer is provided on the male connector 3. A second chamfer is provided on the female connector 4. The first chamfer corresponds to the second chamfer, and the first chamfer and the second chamfer cooperate to guide the male connector 3 into insertion into the female connector 4.
[0095] As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the male connector 3 is capable of floating on the fan module 2. To ensure smooth docking between the male connector 3 and the female connector 4 during installation of the fan module 2, a first chamfer is provided on the male terminal of the male connector 3, and a second chamfer is provided on the female terminal of the female connector 4. The first and second chamfers correspond to each other, and the cooperation of the first and second chamfers allows the male connector 3 to be guided into the female connector 4.
[0096] The air conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the present invention can achieve triple installation positioning of the fan module 2 through the above structure when installing the fan module 2, as follows:
[0097] The first re-positioning is the positioning between the positioning frame 11 and the frame 23. During installation, the frame 23 needs to be aligned with the positioning frame 11 to avoid excessive deviation of the fan module 2, which affects the installation of the fan module 2.
[0098] The second repositioning is the alignment between the pin 61 and the socket. During installation, the first repositioning prevents significant deviation of the fan module 2 and confines it to a designated area, i.e., the positioning frame 11. This ensures that the pin 61 can be accurately inserted into the pin hole 62, ensuring that the male connector 3 and the female connector 4 are aligned accurately.
[0099] The third repositioning is floating positioning between the male connector 3 and the female connector 4. Because the length and width of the second mounting portion 34 of the male connector 3 are both smaller than the length and width of the slot body of the mounting slot 22, and the radius of the polished rod 532 is smaller than the radius of the second mounting hole 32, the floating portion can slide up, down, left, and right within the second mounting hole 32. Furthermore, because the length of the polished rod 532 is greater than the depth of the second mounting hole 32, the floating portion can slide forward and backward within the second mounting hole 32.
[0100] During installation, the male connector 3 and the female connector 4 are basically positioned accurately. The male connector 3 is set to float, and the first chamfer and the second chamfer are combined to allow the male connector 3 and the female connector 4 to be smoothly inserted and docked.
[0101] In summary, the connection efficiency between the male connector 3 and the female connector 4 is improved through the triple positioning described above.
