[0028] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "height", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the waterproof structure of the compressor foot and the pump foot bolt in this embodiment; wherein, the waterproof structure includes a shield 10, the shield 10 includes a U-shaped side plate 101 and a top plate 102, the top plate 102 and the U-shaped side plate 101 are integrally formed at one end away from the outdoor unit chassis, and the shield 10 is provided with an opening 103 on the side facing the compressor.

[0032] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the shield 10 is a hollow shell, the bottom of which is open, and the hollow part is used to accommodate the compressor foot 40 and the pump foot bolt 50. The waterproof structure is installed from top to bottom, and the opening 103 serves as a giving structure for the compressor foot 40. During installation, the shield 10 moves from top to bottom until the bottom of the shield 10 contacts the chassis of the outdoor unit, the upper surface of the compressor foot 40 contacts the upper edge of the opening 103, and the shield 10 covers the compressor foot 40 and the pump foot bolt 50.

[0033] In this way, due to the effect of the waterproof structure in this embodiment, the condensation water generated by the outdoor unit will be blocked by the protective cover 10 when dripping. The protective cover 10 can protect the compressor base 40 and the pump foot bolts 50, and prevent the compressor base 40 and the pump foot bolts 50 from being oxidized and corroded by the condensation water, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] The waterproof structure of the compressor foot and pump foot bolts described above is different from that of the present embodiment in that the compressor foot and pump foot bolts are combined with the present embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the U-shaped side plate 101 includes two opposite plane plates 104 , each of which is provided with a buckle 20 , and the buckle 20 and the plane plate 104 are integrally formed.

[0036] The shape and quantity of the buckle 20 can be freely set according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the buckle 20 is preferably a triangular prism, and the number of the buckles 20 is preferably two. A buckle 20 is provided on each inner side of the two flat plates 104, and the positions of the two buckles 20 correspond to each other. The buckle 20 has two perpendicular side surfaces, one of which is used as an integral molding surface of the buckle 20 and the flat plate 104, and the other vertical surface abuts against the lower surface of the compressor foot 40. Figure 2 As shown, when installing the waterproof structure, the shield 10 is pressed downward from above the pump foot bolt 50, and the buckle 20 is squeezed and deformed when it contacts the compressor foot 40 until the buckle 20 passes over the curved surface on the side of the compressor foot 40. The squeezing force on the buckle 20 disappears, and the buckle 20 returns to its original state. The buckle 20 abuts against the lower surface of the compressor foot 40, and the buckle 20 and the compressor foot 40 form a snap connection.

[0037] In this way, in this embodiment, the shield 10 is fixed to the compressor foot 40 by the buckle 20, which is convenient for installation and improves the installation efficiency of the waterproof structure. The buckle 20 can prevent the shield 10 from moving upward and separating from the compressor foot 40 when the compressor vibrates.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] The waterproof structure of the compressor foot and pump foot bolts described above is different from that of the present embodiment in that the compressor foot and pump foot bolts are combined with the present embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, a fixing plate 30 is further provided in the shield 10, and the fixing plate 30 is integrally formed with the plane plate 104. After buckling, the fixing plate 30 abuts against the upper end surface of the compressor foot 40, and the buckle 20 abuts against the lower end surface of the compressor foot 40.

[0040] The fixing plate 30 is a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and its two ends in the length direction are respectively integrally formed with the two plane plates 104, and its end close to the compressor width direction is integrally formed with the upper edge of the opening 103, and its bottom surface is closely attached to the upper surface of the compressor foot 40. When the compressor vibrates, the buckle 20 sets a lower limit on the shield 10 to counteract the shield 10 vibrating upward with the compressor; the fixing plate 30 sets an upper limit on the shield 10 to counteract the shield 10 vibrating downward with the compressor.

[0041] In this way, the fixing plate 30 and the buckle 20 of the waterproof structure in this embodiment cooperate with each other to offset the impact of the vibration of the compressor on the waterproof structure, avoid the loosening of the waterproof structure caused by long-term vibration of the compressor, and further enhance the stability of the waterproof structure.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] The waterproof structure of the compressor foot and the pump foot bolt described above is different from that of this embodiment in that the buckle 20 is a hollow structure and is made of elastic material.

[0044] The buckle 20 is a hollow structure, which saves materials and makes the buckle 20 easy to deform. The buckle 20 is made of elastic material. When the waterproof structure vibrates, the buckle 20 can first enter the working state of energy dissipation, effectively generate a large damping, so that the energy input into the structure is dissipated in large quantities, and the dynamic response of the waterproof structure is rapidly attenuated. Moreover, the buckle 20 will not have very obvious inelastic deformation, thereby further ensuring the safety required by the waterproof structure during use. When the waterproof structure vibrates, the energy generated by the vibration of the waterproof structure is dissipated by the buckle 20 as much as possible. Damping can effectively reduce the resonance amplitude in the waterproof structure, and further avoid structural damage to the waterproof structure due to the dynamic stress reaching the limit.

[0045] Damping can help the waterproof structure recover to the required stable state in a very short time after an unexpected instantaneous impact. In a dynamic environment, the waterproof structure generally requires better shock resistance and dynamic stability, which can be handled by the buckle 20. Damping can effectively help the buckle 20 to suppress vibration.

[0046] In this way, the buckle 20 in this embodiment is a hollow structure, which saves materials and makes the buckle 20 easy to deform; in this embodiment, the buckle 20 is a hollow structure and is made of elastic material, so that the waterproof structure in this embodiment has a vibration reduction effect, avoiding the loosening of the waterproof structure caused by long-term vibration of the compressor.

[0047] Example 5

[0048] The waterproof structure of the compressor foot and pump foot bolts described above is different from that of the present embodiment in that the compressor foot and pump foot bolts are combined with the present embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate 30 is disposed at the upper end of the opening 103 and extends from the opening 103 to a side away from the compressor; a notch 301 matching the nut 60 of the pump foot bolt 50 is provided at one end of the fixing plate 30 away from the opening 103 .

[0049] Specifically, a notch 301 is provided at one end of the fixing plate 30 away from the compressor in the width direction, which is adapted to the nut 60 of the pump foot bolt 50. When the nut 60 on the pump foot bolt 50 is circular, the notch 301 is an arc-shaped surface; when the nut 60 on the pump foot bolt 50 is a hexagonal nut, the notch 301 is a multi-fold surface.

[0050] In this way, when the compressor vibrates, the notch 301 cooperates with the nut 60 to prevent the shield 10 from moving in a direction away from the compressor.

[0051] Example 6

[0052] The waterproof structure of the compressor foot and pump foot bolts described above is different from that of the present embodiment in that the compressor foot and pump foot bolts are combined with the present embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the U-shaped side plate 101 further includes an arc plate 105 integrally formed with the two flat plates 104 , and an edge folding structure 106 adapted to an end of the compressor foot 40 away from the compressor is provided on the inner side of the arc plate 105 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the folded edge structure 106 on the inner side of the arc plate 105 is adapted to the outer edge of the end of the compressor foot 40 away from the compressor, and the end of the compressor foot 40 away from the compressor abuts against the inner side of the arc plate 105, which can prevent the shield 10 from moving toward the compressor.

[0054] Example 7

[0055] The waterproof structure of the compressor foot and the pump foot bolt described above is different from that of this embodiment in that the inner wall of the top plate 102 abuts against the end of the pump foot bolt 50 away from the chassis.

[0056] In this way, the side of the shield 10 away from the chassis abuts against the end of the pump foot bolt 50 away from the chassis, so that the pump foot bolt 50 abuts against the top plate 102 of the shield 10, further counteracting the tendency of the shield 10 to move downward following the vibration of the compressor.

[0057] Example 8

[0058] The waterproof structure of the compressor foot and the pump foot bolt described above is different from that of the present embodiment in that the cross-sectional area of ​​the shield 10 is larger than the foot pad 70 to prevent the foot pad 70 from being touched.

[0059] Specifically, the foot pad 70 is made of rubber material and wraps around the pump foot bolt 50. The foot pad 70 continuously expands and contracts when the compressor is running. The cross-sectional area of ​​the shield 10 is larger than the foot pad 70, and the shield 10 does not contact the foot pad 70. Therefore, the shield 10 protects the compressor foot 40 and the pump foot bolt 50 while providing enough space for the expansion and contraction of the foot pad 70.

[0060] Example 9

[0061] The waterproof structure of the compressor foot and pump foot bolts described above is different from that of the present embodiment in that the compressor foot and pump foot bolts are combined with the present embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, a detachable baffle plate 107 is provided at one end of the opening 103 close to the bottom plate, and the detachable baffle plate 107 is bonded to the opening 103 .

[0062] The two ends of the removable baffle 107 are respectively connected to the two flat plates 104 in a removable manner. The removable connection can be a threaded connection, a clamping connection, or a bonding connection. In this embodiment, the removable connection is preferably a bonding connection, which is convenient for installing and removing the removable baffle 107 and is easy to operate. When installing the waterproof structure, the removable baffle 107 is removed from the protective cover 10. After the waterproof structure is installed, the removable baffle 107 is installed. Since condensed water may enter the interior of the protective cover 10 through the opening 103 when flowing downward along the protective cover 10, and then corrode the compressor foot 40 and the pump foot bolt 50, a removable baffle 107 is provided at the lower end of the opening 103 in this embodiment to prevent condensed water from entering the interior of the protective cover 10 through the opening 103, thereby achieving a better waterproof effect and a better protection effect.

[0063] Example 10

[0064] This embodiment provides an air conditioner, including the waterproof structure of the compressor foot and pump foot bolts described in any of the above embodiments. Thus, due to the effect of the waterproof structure, the compressor foot and chassis pump foot bolts of the air conditioner in this embodiment can be prevented from being oxidized and corroded.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
