Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of a heat pump device, and discloses an upturned electric control box mounting structure, which comprises a connecting frame and an electric control box assembly, wherein the electric control box assembly is connected to the connecting frame in an upturned manner, a fixing mechanism and a supporting mechanism are provided on the connecting frame. The present disclosure further discloses a heat pump device applying the structure, which comprises a tank body, a water tank assembly and a hydraulic module, wherein the above-mentioned upturned electric control box mounting structure is mounted on the tank body, and the water tank assembly and the hydraulic module are electrically connected with the electric control box assembly.

Claims (11)

1 . An upturned electric control box mounting structure, comprising a connecting frame ( 1 ) and an electric control box assembly ( 2 ), wherein the electric control box assembly ( 2 ) is connected to the connecting frame ( 1 ) in an upturned manner and is capable of being switched between an assembled state and an overhaul state through an overturning action, and the connecting frame ( 1 ) is provided with a fixing mechanism ( 3 ) for keeping the electric control box assembly ( 2 ) in an assembled state and a supporting mechanism ( 4 ) for keeping the electric control box assembly ( 2 ) in an overhaul state;

wherein the connecting frame ( 1 ) comprises a first side frame ( 101 ) and a second side frame ( 102 ), a first upper connecting pipe ( 103 ) and a second upper connecting pipe ( 104 ) are fixedly connected between the first side frame ( 101 ) and the second side frame ( 102 ), and the electric control box assembly ( 2 ) is rotatably connected to the first upper connecting pipe ( 103 ) through several groups of hinges ( 5 );

wherein the fixing mechanism ( 3 ) comprises at least two groups of connecting plates ( 301 ) detachably connected with the electric control box assembly ( 2 ), and at least one group of connecting plates ( 301 ) are provided on the first side frame ( 101 ) and the second side frame ( 102 ), respectively; the connecting plate ( 301 ) is rotatably connected to the first side frame ( 101 ) and the second side frame ( 102 ) and is capable of being switched between a storage state and a connecting state by a rotating action.

2 . The upturned electric control box mounting structure according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting plate ( 301 ) is provided with an abutting part ( 302 ) abutting against the first side frame ( 101 ) or the second side frame ( 102 ) to position the connecting plate ( 301 ) in a connected state.

3 . The upturned electric control box mounting structure according to claim 2 , wherein the supporting mechanism ( 4 ) comprises at least two groups of supporting rods ( 401 ) detachably connected with the electric control box assembly ( 2 ), and at least one group of supporting rods ( 401 ) are provided on the first side frame ( 101 ) and the second side frame ( 102 ), respectively.

4 . The upturned electric control box mounting structure according to claim 3 , wherein the supporting rod ( 401 ) is capable of being switched between a storage state and a connected state by a rotating action.
