The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 shows air-conditioning unit 10.Unit 10 has housing, and said housing comprises chassis 12 and big envelope 14.The 12 pairs of compressors 16 in chassis support, and said compressor is delivered to condenser 18 with refrigerated medium pump.The expansion gear (not shown) for example is disposed in condenser 18 upper reaches by known manner.The cold-producing medium that expands flow to evaporimeter 20 before returning compressor 16.Motor 24 utilizes air blast 26 that air is blowed through evaporimeter 20, so that the cooling air through shutter 22 is provided, said shutter for example is exposed to house interior.
Fan 30 receives the driving of motor 24 so that air is blowed through condenser 18, thereby heat is discharged into the external environment condition from cold-producing medium.Condenser partition wall or condenser case 32 provide sealing between condenser 18 and fan 30.In an example, housing comprises top cover 34, and said top cover is disposed between case 32 and the condenser 18 and encloses device so that provide around the envelope of fan 30.Control cabinet 36 is communicated with by known manner and compressor 16 and motor 24 so that the required air through overregulating is provided for the room.
Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 A, in an example, big envelope 14 comprises flange 38, and framework 21 is installed on the said flange.Framework 21 provides supporting for shutter 22 and front panel 23.Air gets into air-conditioning units 10 and leaves air-conditioning unit so that the air through overregulating is provided for the room through shutter 22 through front panel 23.Framework 21 also comprises the filter frame 25 that is used for supporting filter device 27.
In instance as shown in the figure, front panel 23 comprises one or more holes 40, and said hole makes can be near control cabinet 36 from the room.In an example; Control cabinet 36 comprises user control or knob 42; Said user control or knob can pass front panel 23 by near or extensiblely pass said front panel 23, and can from the room, observe and handle said user control or knob.When control cabinet 36 is positioned in the desired location place with respect to front panel 23; Forwardly produced uniform gap 46 between panel 23 and control cabinet 36 and/or the knob 42; This provides the aesthstic outward appearance that goes up pleasant, and has guaranteed that Any user control device 42 can both align with mark 48 with required mode.Mark 48 for example comprises and temperature set-point or the corresponding numeral of blower speed that said mark can be set on the outer surface 44.
Referring to Fig. 2 B, framework 21 comprises hinge 62 and breech lock 64 with front panel 23, and said hinge and said breech lock act synergistically so that with respect to framework 21 front panel 23 is positioned at the desired location place each other.Hinge 62 and every kind of device in breech lock 64 these two kinds of devices be by be disposed in respectively on the framework 21 with front panel 23 on part provide, said part acts synergistically so that front panel 23 is fastened on the framework 21 each other.In instance as shown in the figure, front panel 23 rotates to open position around hinge 62 downwards and outwards from the closing position shown in Fig. 2 A.In instance as shown in the figure, front panel 23 has perimembranous, and said perimembranous and framework 21 are spaced apart.The gap that is produced is that unit 10 provides air intake.This distance is provided by hinge 62 and breech lock 64, and said distance is as isolation structure.
Referring to Fig. 3 A-Fig. 3 D, hinge 62 comprises depression 50, and said depression is used to receive the arm 54 that is set on the front panel 23.The part that is set at the hinge 62 on the framework 21 provides the recess 60 with depression 50 adjacency.Maintenance tab 52 respect to one another is disposed in the recess 60.Pivot 56 extends out and is received in the recess 60 from arm 54.Front panel 23 rotates between the position of rotation C of closure and the position of rotation O that opens around pivot 56, and Fig. 3 C schematically shows this situation.Pivot 56 comprises flat part 58, and said flat part has narrow width 59.Flat part 58 rotatable orientations, thus make flat part 58 keeping slip between the tab 52, thus make pivot 56 be seated in the recess 60 (Fig. 3 D).In this way, front panel 23 can be inserted into framework 21 and can when being arranged in this removed position R place, be removed from framework 21.Front panel 23 is horizontal the place usually, thereby makes when being in the position of rotation O place that opens, the edge 61 of arm 54 and shoulder 63 adjacency of depression 50, and this makes and is easy to filter 27 is disassembled from framework 21.The size of knob 42 (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 A) is littler than the size in hole 40, thereby makes and when opening front panel, need not to dismantle knob 42.Depression 50 so that help with respect to framework front panel 23 to be positioned, thereby is guaranteed hole 40 and required the aliging of knob 42 realizations partly in order to along laterally arm 54 being positioned.
Referring to Fig. 4 A-Fig. 4 C, framework 21 comprises protuberance 66, and said protuberance will be fixed to the screw on the room wall with unit 10 in order to receive.Referring to Fig. 4 A, the latch portion that is positioned on the framework 21 comprises the transverse wall portion 68 that opening 70 is provided.Front panel 23 comprises such structure (Fig. 4 B), and said structure provides otch 90 so that receive the transverse wall portion 68 of framework 21, thereby laterally front panel 23 is positioned with respect to framework 21 edges.
Shown in Fig. 4 B, first latch member 72 that is set on the front panel 23 comprises protuberance 74.Front panel 23 comprises wall portion 88, and said wall portion has hidden first latch member 72 so that the aesthstic outward appearance that goes up pleasant is provided.Framework 21 comprises second latch member 76, and said second latch member has deflectable shank 78, and said deflectable shank and lower wall 84 separate so that gap 86 is provided.Shank 78 comprises protuberance 82, and said protuberance provides conical surface 80, said conical surface and protuberance 74 synergies so that when anterior panel 23 with respect to framework 21 by breech lock when opening breech lock, make protuberance 82 generation deflections.
Although the front is described exemplary embodiments, one of ordinary skill in the art should be realized that: can in the scope of claims, make some modification.Therefore, following claims be should study and true scope of the present invention and implication confirmed.
