DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] As disclosed in the background technology, the existing air conditioner outdoor unit usually has a valve plate separately arranged on the side plate of the shell. Specifically, the valve plate is usually installed on the right side plate of the air conditioner outdoor unit and fixed on the right edge of the chassis, and the valve plate is usually provided with a valve port, and a connecting pipe is installed on the valve port. When the air conditioner is in the cooling mode for a long time, the valve port of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the surface of the connecting pipe and the outer surface of the valve plate will produce more condensed water, and this part of the condensed water will eventually gather on the surface of the valve plate and flow down along the surface of the valve plate. The current valve plate mostly adopts an external mounting structure, that is, the valve plate is mounted on the right edge of the chassis, and the bottom of the valve plate is exposed in the external space, that is, the outer surface of the valve plate is exposed in the external space as a whole and extends to the outside of the chassis. At this time, the condensed water collected on the valve plate will flow down along the outer surface of the valve plate, accumulate and fall after reaching the lowest end, and directly drip to the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit, affecting the space below the air conditioner outdoor unit. On the one hand, it may cause dripping noise, and on the other hand, it may cause accelerated corrosion of the steel structure support frame. In addition, if the air conditioner outdoor unit is installed near the sidewalk, the falling water droplets may also drip onto people passing below, causing trouble to passers-by.

[0033] In order to solve the problem of condensed water dripping on the valve plate in the prior art, the present invention provides a new air-conditioning casing and air conditioner. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the bent bearing portion 113 abuts against the outer surface of the bottom of the valve plate 150 , so that the bottom of the valve plate 150 and the bent flange 115 form a relatively dense water receiving groove 117 . Specifically, this embodiment improves the connection structure between the chassis 110 and the valve plate 150 by providing an inwardly recessed bent bearing portion 113 in the middle portion of the side plate 111, and providing a bent flange 115 on the upper edge of the bent bearing portion 113, the bent flange 115 extends to the end of the bent bearing portion 113, and the bottom of the valve plate 150 extends into the inner side of the bent bearing portion 113, the bottom of the valve plate 150 and the bent flange 115 together form a water receiving groove 117, the water receiving groove 117 is connected to the inner space of the side plate 111, and the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 extends from the water receiving groove 117 to the inner space of the side plate 111, so that the condensed water on the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 flows into the chassis 110 from the water receiving groove 117.

[0039] It should be noted that a special water collection tank is provided on the chassis 110, and the water collection tank can discharge condensed water through an external condensation pipe. That is, the condensed water collected on the valve plate 150 flows down to the water receiving groove 117 through the outer surface of the valve plate 150, flows along the water receiving groove 117 into the inner space of the side plate 111, and finally flows into the water collection tank on the chassis 110, thereby preventing the water from dripping from the outer side of the valve plate 150 to the bottom of the air conditioner housing 100.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bending bearing portion 113 is integrally arranged on the side plate 111 and is recessed inwardly relative to the side plate 111. Specifically, the bending bearing portion 113 is formed by a stamping process, and the thickness of the bending bearing portion 113 is the same as that of the side plate 111. A bending flange 115 is formed by stamping at the upper edge of the bending bearing portion 113, wherein the bending flange 115 protrudes outwardly relative to the side plate 111 and is open, and the bending flange 115 extends to the end of the bending bearing portion 113, so that the formed water receiving groove 117 can extend to the end of the bending bearing portion 113 and communicate with the inner space of the side plate 111, and the condensed water can flow toward the end of the bending bearing portion 113 after flowing into the water receiving groove 117, and finally flow into the chassis 110.

[0041] It should be noted that the inner side mentioned in this embodiment refers to the side close to the inner space of the air conditioner housing 100, that is, the side close to the center of the air conditioner housing 100, and the outer side mentioned in this embodiment refers to the side close to the outer space of the air conditioner housing 100, that is, the side close to the external space. The outer side surface of the valve plate 150 extends from the outer space of the air conditioner housing 100 to the inner space.

[0042] In this embodiment, bending transition portions 119 are provided at both ends of the bending bearing portion 113, the bending transition portions 119 extend from the bending bearing portion 113 to the side panels 111, and the bending transition portions 119 are bent inward relative to the side panels 111, the bending transition portions 119 and the bending bearing portion 113 are bent, and the bending flanges 115 extend to the bending transition portions 119. Specifically, the bending transition portions 119 and the bending bearing portion 113 are formed by stamping the side panels 111, and the bending transition portions 119 are inclined relative to the side panels 111. By setting the bending transition part 119, a certain gap can be formed between the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 at both ends of the bending bearing part 113 and the side plate 111. The gap is a part of the internal space of the side plate 111, so that the water receiving groove 117 can be connected to the gap, and the condensed water is transported toward the end of the bending bearing part 113 and sent into the internal space of the side plate 111.

[0043] In this embodiment, a connecting hole 151 is provided on the valve plate 150, and an assembly hole 118 corresponding to the connecting hole 151 is provided on the bent bearing portion 113. A connecting member is assembled in the assembly hole 118, and the connecting member passes through the connecting hole 151 and is detachably connected to the valve plate 150. Specifically, the connecting member is a connecting screw, that is, the bent bearing portion 113 and the valve plate 150 are fixed by the connecting screw. Of course, the connecting member here can also be other detachable connection structures such as bolts or pins, which are not specifically limited here.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the inner surface of the bent bearing portion 113 and the outer surface of the valve plate 150 at the corresponding position are in a supporting structure, so that the gap between the two is small and the density is good, so that the condensed water will not flow into the chassis 110 through the inner surface of the bent bearing portion 113 and the outer surface of the valve plate 150, but only flow into the inner space of the side plate 111 through the end of the water receiving groove 117. Of course, in other preferred embodiments, the bent bearing portion 113 and the valve plate 150 can also be matched with each other in a clearance, for example, a gasket is set on the connecting screw between the two, and a certain clearance is formed between the bent bearing portion 113 and the valve plate 150 through the gasket, so that the condensed water in the water receiving groove 117 can also flow into the inner space of the side plate 111 through the clearance, which can also achieve the collection of condensed water.

[0045] In this embodiment, the valve plate 150 is a sheet metal structure, and the bottom of the valve plate 150 is retracted inwardly to extend into the inner space of the side plate 111 and the bent bearing portion 113. The portion of the valve plate 150 extending into the side plate 111 and the bent bearing portion 113 forms a supporting plate, which is supported by the bent bearing portion 113, and the lower portion of the supporting plate extends to the surface of the bottom plate 110.

[0046] In this embodiment, a splash-proof pressure plate 153 is further provided at the bottom of the valve plate 150, and the splash-proof pressure plate 153 abuts against the bottom plate 110, so that the condensed water on the outer side of the valve plate 150 flows into the bottom plate 110 along the splash-proof pressure plate 153. Specifically, the splash-proof pressure plate 153 is provided at the bottom of the abutting plate, and a bending structure is formed between the abutting plate. By providing the splash-proof pressure plate 153, the condensed water can flow directly into the bottom plate 110, avoiding the situation of dripping in the inner space and splashing everywhere, and ensuring that the condensed water flows smoothly into the bottom plate 110.

[0047] In this embodiment, the housing side plate 130 is provided with an installation opening 131 , which is open downward and extends downward to the bottom plate 110 , and the valve plate 150 is assembled in the installation opening 131 . The bottom of the housing side plate 130 is connected to the side plate 111 .

[0048] In this embodiment, a clamping and fixing groove 116 is further provided on the upper edge of the bent bearing portion 113, and the bent flange 115 extends to the clamping and fixing groove 116. A fixing buckle 155 is provided on the valve plate 150, and the fixing buckle 155 is assembled on the clamping and fixing groove 116, so that the valve plate 150 is clamped on the bent bearing portion 113. Specifically, the fixing buckle 155 is provided at the middle and lower part of the valve plate 150 and protrudes outward. By providing the clamping and fixing groove 116 and the fixing buckle 155, the valve plate 150 is clamped on the bent bearing portion 113, and the pre-fixation between the valve plate 150 and the chassis 110 is realized, which is convenient for subsequent assembly actions.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bent flange 115 extends to the clamping and fixing groove 116, so that the water receiving groove 117 is connected to the clamping and fixing groove 116. Specifically, there are two bent flanges 115, and the two bent flanges 115 are respectively arranged on both sides of the clamping and fixing groove 116, and the two bent flanges 115 extend to the two ends of the upper edge of the bent bearing portion 113. Here, the fixing buckle 155 is arranged between the two bent flanges 115, so that there are also two water receiving grooves 117, which extend to the two ends of the upper edge of the bent bearing portion 113 respectively, thereby ensuring that the collected water can flow smoothly into the chassis 110.

[0050] In this embodiment, the valve plate 150 adopts a sheet metal structure, and the fixing clip 155 is formed by local punching of the valve plate 150. Specifically, a punching hole is also formed on the valve plate 150, and the fixing clip 155 is formed by punching, so that the fixing clip 155 and the valve plate 150 are integrally arranged, further ensuring the structural strength of the fixing clip 155.

[0051] In this embodiment, the clamping and fixing groove 116 has two opposite side walls, and the two side walls are matched with the clearances on both sides of the fixing buckle 155 to form a water receiving seam 157, and the water receiving seam 157 is connected with the water receiving groove 117, so that the condensed water on the fixing buckle 155 flows into the water receiving groove 117 from the water receiving seam 157. Specifically, there are two water receiving seams 157, and the two water receiving seams 157 are respectively located on both sides of the fixing buckle 155. By providing the water receiving seams 157, the condensed water on the upper surface of the fixing buckle 155 can flow into the water receiving groove 117 from the water receiving seams 157, and further flow into the chassis 110, thereby avoiding the condensed water on the fixing buckle 155 from dripping, and further avoiding the occurrence of the condensed water dripping phenomenon.

[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the water receiving seam 157 is connected to the water receiving groove 117, so that the condensed water on the fixing buckle 155 can flow from the water receiving seam 157 to the water receiving groove 117, and then flow to the bottom plate 110. At the same time, since a rear punching hole is formed at a position corresponding to the fixing buckle 155 on the valve plate 150, the punching hole is connected to the inner space of the side plate 111, and the water receiving seam 157 is connected to the punching hole, so that part of the condensed water can also flow directly into the inner space of the side plate 111 through the punching hole.

[0053] In this embodiment, the opening width of the clamping and fixing groove 116 gradually decreases along the assembly direction of the fixing buckle 155. By providing the clamping and fixing groove 116 with a larger opening at the top and smaller opening at the bottom, the fixing buckle 155 can be quickly assembled into the clamping and fixing groove 116 during installation, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0054] It should be noted that the opening width of the clamping and fixing groove 116 in this embodiment refers to the distance between two opposite side walls of the clamping and fixing groove 116. In addition, the bottom width of the clamping and fixing groove 116 matches the width of the fixing buckle 155, so that the clamping effect of the fixing buckle 155 is better.

[0055] It should also be noted that the assembly direction of the fixing buckle 155 mentioned in this embodiment refers to the direction in which the fixing buckle 155 is assembled from the outside to the fixing groove 116 during actual assembly, and its assembly direction is usually from top to bottom.

[0056] In this embodiment, the side wall is an arc surface or an inclined surface. Preferably, in this embodiment, the side wall of the clamping and fixing groove 116 is an inclined surface. By setting the side wall of the clamping and fixing groove 116 to be an arc surface or an inclined surface, the condensed water is ensured to flow down smoothly, and a water receiving gap 157 of sufficient width is formed between the side wall and the fixing buckle 155.

[0057] In this embodiment, the fixing buckle 155 includes a connecting portion and a clamping portion. The connecting portion is integrally arranged on the valve plate 150 and extends into the clamping fixing groove 116 to abut against the bottom wall of the clamping fixing groove 116. The clamping portion is connected to the connecting portion and forms a bending structure, and the clamping portion abuts against the outer surface of the side plate 111. Specifically, the top side surface of the connecting portion in this embodiment is an inclined surface structure inclined upward, so that the condensed water will not flow to the clamping portion through the connecting portion, but directly flow to the two sides of the connecting portion. At the same time, the clamping portion abuts against the outer surface of the side plate 111, which further ensures the fixing effect between the fixing buckle 155 and the side plate 111.

[0058] To summarize, the air-conditioning casing 100 provided in this embodiment is provided with an inwardly recessed bending bearing portion 113 in the middle portion of the side plate 111, and a bending flange 115 is provided on the upper edge of the bending bearing portion 113, the bending flange 115 extends to the end of the bending bearing portion 113, and the bottom of the valve plate 150 extends into the inner side of the bending bearing portion 113, the bottom of the valve plate 150 and the bending flange 115 together form a water receiving groove 117, the water receiving groove 117 is connected to the inner space of the side plate 111, the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 extends from the water receiving groove 117 to the inner space of the side plate 111, so that the condensed water on the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 flows into the chassis 110 from the water receiving groove 117, thereby avoiding the problem of condensed water dripping outward. In addition, the pre-fixation between the valve plate 150 and the chassis 110 is achieved through the assembly of the fixing buckle 155 and the clamping fixing groove 116, which facilitates the installation of the connecting screws. In addition, water receiving gaps 157 are formed on both sides of the fixing buckle 155, which can send the condensed water on the fixing buckle 155 into the inner space of the side plate 111, further avoiding the problem of condensed water dripping outward.
