[0045]The technical solution of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0046]The air handling unit may also be called an American air duct machine. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the air handling unit includes a fan box 1000 and a heat exchange box, where a fan assembly and an electric heating cabinet section 2000 are installed inside the fan box 1000. An auxiliary heating can be realized by the heating assembly 200. A heat exchange assembly is installed in the heat exchange box. The fan box 1000 and the heat exchange box are connected in a detachable installation, which facilitates after-sales personnel to install even in a narrow space and improves installation efficiency. It can be understood that the air handling unit may also adopt an integral design, that is, the electric heating cabinet section 2000, the heat exchange assembly and the fan assembly are installed inside the same box body.
[0047]In order to facilitate the maintenance of the heating assembly 200, the heating assembly 200 is detachably installed in the box body 100.

When the user chooses to have one, he needs to purchase the heating assembly 200 and have after-sales personnel come to install the heating assembly 200. However, after the air handling unit is installed, the air outlet 120 has been connected to an air duct. Due to the obstruction of the air duct, after-sales personnel need to blindly install the heating assembly 200 when it needs maintain. The heating assembly 200 may be difficult to be installed in place due to deformation of the components or the inability of the installation guide to accurately limit the position, thereby reducing the work efficiency.
[0048]In order to solve the above problem, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electric heating cabinet section 2000 is provided. The electric heating cabinet section 2000 is installed in the fan box 1000. The electric heating cabinet section 2000 will be described in detail below using the fan box 1000 as an example.

[0053]It should be noted that, as shown in
[0054]In an embodiment, the first guide member 230 may be disposed on a side of the terminal block 220, and the second guide member 330 may be disposed on the inner wall of the box body 100, for example, the guide rails are disposed on a side wall of the terminal block 220 and an opposite side wall of the box body 100, thus the heating assembly 200 can be guided.
[0055]In the related art, when there is no guide structure, it is inconvenient to pull out the heating assembly 200, and when the heating assembly 200 is inserted to be installed, it is easy to cause inaccurate positioning, which reduces the installation efficiency. In addition, if the installation is not in place, it is easy to cause the air handling unit to vibrate during operation, which will further generate noise and affect user experience.
[0056]It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the heating assembly 200 is guided by the cooperation of the first guide member 230 and the second guide member 330, which can make the heating assembly 200 less likely to deflect during the process of installation and make removal more convenient, thereby reducing the possibility of vibration noise caused by the heating assembly 200 being deflected during operation of the air handling unit, and making the structure more stable and reliable.
[0057]Referring to
[0058]As shown in
[0059]In an embodiment, the folding edges 231 may be disposed towards the bottom plate 320, and the notches of the guide grooves 332 may be disposed upwards, such that the two folding edges 231 can be inserted downwards into the corresponding guide grooves 332 for matching. In some embodiments, the number of folding edges 231 and guide grooves 332 are not limited to two. That is, two or more folding edges 231 may also be disposed on each side of the terminal block 220, and meanwhile two or more folding edges 231 are disposed on the bottom plate 320 correspondingly. A more stable guide structure is achieved by the cooperation of the folding edges 231 and the guide grooves 332.

[0066]Considering that the heating unit 210 needs to be positioned within the cabinet body 300, in the related art, the heating assembly 200 is positioned using an installation method of shafts being inserted in holes. In this method, mounting holes are reserved on the cabinet body 300, and steel wire shafts are disposed on the heating unit 210, thus multiple steel wire shafts need to be inserted into the corresponding mounting holes at the same time to install them in place. After the air handling unit is installed, due to the obstruction of the air duct, after-sales personnel need to perform blind installation when aligning the steel wire shaft with the mounting hole. However, the heating assembly 200 may be difficult to be installed in place due to the deformation of the steel wire shaft or the inability of the installation guide to accurately limit the position, thereby reducing the work efficiency.

The number of the second positioning members 401 needs to be greater than the number of the first positioning members 213. For example, the first positioning member 213 may be a positioning rod, the second positioning member 401 may be a positioning groove, and multiple positioning grooves are arranged next to each other. When the positioning rod is deformed and deviated, it may be inserted into the adjacent positioning groove for positioning, thereby the positioning of the heating unit 210 is not affected, and positioning problems caused by component deformation or the inability of installation guide to accurately limit the position are effectively solved. In this way, rapid positioning can be achieved without the need for precise guidance, and the heating assembly 200 can be quickly installed in place even when it is blindly installed, effectively improving the maintenance efficiency of the air handling unit.
[0069]Referring to
[0070]It can be understood that the first positioning member 213 is formed at the end of the bracket 212 away from the terminal block 220, the inner wall of the cabinet body 300 is provided with a fixation frame 400, and the second positioning members 401 are formed at the side of the fixation frame 400 facing the opening, for example, the bracket 212 may be provided with a positioning rod at the end of the bracket 212, and the multiple positioning grooves may be disposed on the fixation frame 400 to facilitate processing and forming the second positioning members 401 on the cabinet body 300.
