[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an external machine panel, which has the characteristics of higher strength and less deformation.

[0007] The external unit panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention has a first mounting countersunk hole on its first side panel to connect and fix the condenser. The first mounting countersunk hole causes the flatness of the first side panel to change, thereby improving the strength of the first side panel. In addition, a first reinforcing rib is also provided on the first side panel. The first reinforcing rib extends in the vertical direction, and the first reinforcing rib further improves the strength of the first side panel. In addition, since the condenser is installed in the first mounting countersunk hole, there is stress concentration, which makes it easier to deform during actual transportation or violent disassembly and assembly. The first mounting countersunk hole is set in the extension direction of the first reinforcing rib, thereby further strengthening the structural strength of the location where the first mounting countersunk hole is set.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the first reinforcing rib and the first mounting countersunk hole are both recessed in the outer surface of the first side panel.

[0009] The first reinforcing rib and the first mounting countersunk hole are both recessed on the outer surface of the first side panel, that is, the first reinforcing rib and the first mounting countersunk hole are recessed from the outer surface of the first side panel to the inner surface, and the inner surface is correspondingly convex, so that the structural strength of the first side panel is improved.

That is, the first mounting countersunk hole is set at the top end of the first side panel, which plays a role in improving the strength of the top end of the first side panel, preventing the connection position between the first side panel and the top cover from being deformed by impact and then opening.

[0018] The first transition panel forms an angle with the front panel and the first side panel, reducing the angle of the corner where the front panel and the first side panel are connected, thereby strengthening the structural strength of the front panel and the first side panel, and preventing the connection between the front panel and the first side panel from being hit and opening. The first transition panel is provided with a third reinforcing rib, which serves to enhance the structural strength of the first transition panel, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the external unit panel.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the third reinforcing rib is recessed in the outer surface of the first transition panel, and the third reinforcing rib extends from the bottom end of the first transition panel to the top end of the first transition panel.

[0020] The third reinforcing rib is recessed on the outer surface of the first transition panel, and a bulge is formed on the inner surface of the third reinforcing rib accordingly, thereby changing the flatness of the first transition panel and significantly improving the structural strength of the first transition panel.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, a mounting protrusion is protruded from the outer surface of the top end of the first side panel, and a mounting hole is penetrated through the mounting protrusion.

[0023] The second mounting countersunk hole is recessed on the outer surface of the second side panel and has a corresponding protrusion on the inner surface of the second side panel. The second mounting countersunk hole changes the flatness of the second side panel, improves the structural strength of the second side panel, and thus can ensure the stability of the connection structure between the external panel and the external body. The fifth and sixth reinforcing ribs further improve the structural strength of the second side panel, prevent deformation of the second side panel when impacted, and thus improve the overall structural strength of the external panel.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the fifth reinforcing rib and the sixth reinforcing rib are both recessed in the outer surface of the second side panel, the fifth reinforcing rib and the sixth reinforcing rib are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the second mounting countersunk hole is disposed between the fifth reinforcing rib and the sixth reinforcing rib.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the external unit panel 100 provided in this embodiment. The external unit panel 100 is applied to the external unit of the air conditioner, has a higher structural strength, and is not easily deformed during transportation or violent disassembly and assembly.

[0047] The external unit panel 100 provided in this embodiment includes a front panel 110, a first side panel 130, a first transition panel 150, a second side panel 170 and a second transition panel 190. The front panel 110 is provided with an air guide ring 111 and a convex bump 112, and the convex bump 112 corresponds to the position where the compressor is arranged inside the external unit, and plays a role in expanding the capacity. One side of the front panel 110 in the horizontal direction is connected to one side of the first transition panel 150 at an angle, and one side of the first transition panel 150 away from the front panel 110 is connected to one side of the first side panel 130 at an angle. The other side of the front panel 110 in the horizontal direction is connected to one side of the second transition panel 190 at an angle, and one side of the second transition panel 190 away from the front panel 110 is connected to one side of the second side panel 170 at an angle.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the external panel 100 provided in this embodiment at a first viewing angle.

[0049] The first side panel 130 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 131, a first mounting countersunk hole 132 and a second reinforcing rib 133, respectively. The first reinforcing rib 131, the first mounting countersunk hole 132 and the second reinforcing rib 133 are all recessed inward from the outer surface of the first side panel 130, and the inner surface of the first side panel 130 is correspondingly convex, that is, the first reinforcing rib 131, the first mounting countersunk hole 132 and the second reinforcing rib 133 all play a role in improving the structural strength of the first side panel 130. In addition, the first mounting countersunk hole 132 is also used to install screws to fix the condenser.

[0050] During the transportation or violent disassembly of the external unit, various parts of the front panel are susceptible to impact or extrusion. Since the condenser of the external unit is fixed on the first side panel 130, and the top of the first side panel 130 is also connected to the top cover and forms a corner, when the first side panel 130 is deformed by impact or extrusion, the connection structure between the first side panel 130 and the condenser will be destroyed, and even the condenser will be damaged, and the connection between the first side panel 130 and the top cover will also open. Therefore, in this embodiment, a first reinforcing rib 131, a first mounting countersunk hole 132 and a second reinforcing rib 133 are respectively provided on the first side panel 130, which significantly improves the structural strength of the first side panel 130, prevents the first side panel 130 from being deformed during excessively violent disassembly during transportation, and further improves the overall structural strength of the external unit panel 100.

[0051] The first reinforcing rib 131 extends from the bottom of the first side panel 130 to the top of the first side panel 130 in the vertical direction. The first mounting countersunk hole 132 is arranged at the top position of the first side panel 130 and is located in the extending direction of the first reinforcing rib 131. The first reinforcing rib 131 enhances the strength of the setting position of the first mounting countersunk hole 132 on the first side panel 130, thereby preventing the setting position of the first mounting countersunk hole 132 from being deformed first due to concentrated stress.

[0052] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the structural strength of the location where the first mounting countersunk hole 132 is set on the first side panel 130, the first reinforcing rib 131 is connected to the first mounting countersunk hole 132. That is, the first mounting countersunk hole 132 and the first reinforcing rib 131 form an integral recessed structure on the outer surface of the first side panel 130, and the stress concentration at the location where the first mounting countersunk hole 132 is set is alleviated, and the structural strength is further improved.

[0053] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an external panel 100 provided in another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 In this embodiment, according to actual application conditions, the first mounting countersunk hole 132 and the first reinforcing rib 131 may also be arranged at intervals.

[0054] Please continue reading Figure 2 In this embodiment, the second reinforcing rib 133 includes a first branch segment 1331 and a second branch segment 1332. The first branch segment 1331 is spaced apart from the first reinforcing rib 131. Also, like the first reinforcing rib 131, the first branch segment 1331 extends in the vertical direction from the bottom to the top of the first side panel 130, and is connected to the second branch segment 1332 at an angle at the top of the first side panel 130.

[0055] The first branch section 1331 further enhances the structural strength of the first side panel 130 in the vertical direction, and further prevents the first side panel 130 from deforming when subjected to impact or extrusion in the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the extension direction of the first branch section 1331 can also be adaptively adjusted according to actual application conditions, as long as the first side panel 130 is extended from the bottom to the top of the first side panel 130 as a whole. For example, the first branch section 1331 can also be set to a serpentine shape to further enhance the strength of the first side panel 130.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second branch section 1332 extends in the horizontal direction on the first side panel 130, and the overall shape of the second reinforcing rib 133 is a "7" shape or a "T" shape. In fact, the top outer edge of the first side panel 130 extends in the horizontal direction, that is, the second branch section 1332 extends along the top outer edge of the first side panel 130. The second branch section 1332 serves to enhance the structural strength of the top outer edge of the first side panel 130, and prevents the top outer edge from opening in the connection structure with the top cover. At the same time, the second branch section 1332 also enhances the structural strength of the first side panel 130 in the horizontal direction, and prevents the first side panel 130 from being deformed when it is hit or squeezed in the horizontal direction.

[0057] In other embodiments, the extension direction of the second branch segment 1332 can be adaptively adjusted. For example, when the top outer edge of the first side panel 130 is not horizontal, the extension defense line of the first side panel 130 extends along the top outer edge of the first side panel 130, and its extension direction is at an angle to the horizontal direction.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of the first mounting countersunk holes 132 is two, and the two first mounting countersunk holes 132 are respectively arranged at the bottom and the top of the first side panel 130, and the two ends of the first reinforcing rib 131 in the vertical direction are respectively connected to the two first mounting countersunk holes 132, and the first mounting countersunk hole 132 arranged at the top of the first side panel 130 is arranged between the second branch section 1332 and the first reinforcing rib 131 in the vertical direction. The first reinforcing rib 131 enhances the structural stability of the position where the first mounting countersunk hole 132 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the second branch section 1332 enhances the structural stability of the first mounting countersunk hole 132 in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the first reinforcing rib 131 and the second branch section 1332 work together to significantly improve the structural strength of the position where the first mounting countersunk hole 132 is arranged.

[0059] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second reinforcing rib 133 may further include a third branch section, which is disposed at the bottom of the first side panel 130 and is connected at an angle to the first branch section 1331. In embodiments where there is a need to enhance the strength of the connection structure between the first side panel 130 and the external unit base, the second reinforcing rib 133 may be provided with a third branch section, which extends along the bottom edge of the first side panel 130, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the bottom outer edge of the first side panel 130 and preventing the connection position between the first side panel 130 and the external unit base from being impacted or squeezed and opening.

[0060] Please continue reading Figure 2 The outer surface of the top of the first side panel 130 is provided with a mounting protrusion 134, and compared with the second branch section 1332 of the second reinforcing rib 133, the mounting protrusion 134 is closer to the top edge of the first side panel 130. The mounting protrusion 134 is formed by a top depression of the inner surface of the first side panel 130, and a corresponding protrusion on the outer surface. The mounting protrusion 134 plays a role in further improving the strength of the top edge of the first side panel 130.

[0061] The mounting protrusion 134 is provided with a mounting hole, and the mounting protrusion 134 is used for interference fit with the external unit top cover, and the mounting hole is used for installing screws to fix the external unit top cover. In fact, a plurality of mounting protrusions 134 are also provided at intervals on the top of the front panel 110. When the external unit panel 100 and the external unit top cover are assembled, the external unit top cover is provided on the top of the external unit panel 100, and the external unit panel 100 is interference fit with the external unit top cover through the mounting protrusions 134 provided on the first side panel 130 and the front panel 110.

[0062] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4The figure shows a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the external machine panel 100 and the external machine top cover 200. The external machine panel 100 is interference fit with the external machine top cover 200 through the mounting protrusions 134 provided on the first side panel 130 and the front panel 110, and is fixed by screws, so as to ensure that the external machine panel 100 and the external machine top cover 200 are stably connected, and improve the structural stability of the connection structure between the two.

[0063] Please continue reading Figure 1 The first transition panel 150 is arranged between the front panel 110 and the first side panel 130, and the first transition panel 150 forms an angle with the front panel 110 and the first side panel 130. The purpose of setting the first transition panel 150 is to reduce the corner angle between the front panel 110 and the first side panel 130, reduce the risk of the corner between the front panel 110 and the first side panel 130 being hit, and enhance the structural strength here, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the external panel 100.

[0064] In this embodiment, a third reinforcing rib 151 is provided on the first transition panel 150. Similar to the first reinforcing rib 131 and the second reinforcing rib 133, the third reinforcing rib 151 is recessed on the outer surface of the first transition panel 150, and a corresponding protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the first transition panel 150. The third reinforcing rib 151 extends from the bottom end of the first transition panel 150 to the top end of the first transition panel 150, thereby enhancing the strength of the first transition panel 150 and further enhancing the overall strength of the external machine panel 100.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first transition panel 150 is not a flat plate structure, and the width of the first transition panel 150 can be adaptively set according to actual application conditions, and the number of first transition panels 150 can also be multiple. In other embodiments, the first transition panel 150 can also be a curved plate structure, and its specific curvature can be adjusted according to actual application conditions. The gentler the curvature, the more obvious the effect of reducing the risk of impact.

[0066] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the external panel 100 provided in this embodiment at a second viewing angle.

[0067] The second side panel 170 is provided with a fifth reinforcing rib 171, a sixth reinforcing rib 173 and a second mounting countersunk hole 175, respectively. The second mounting countersunk hole 175 is used to install screws to fix the second side panel 170 to the body of the external machine. The second mounting countersunk hole 175 is recessed on the outer surface of the second side panel 170 and has a corresponding protrusion on the inner surface of the second side panel 170. The second mounting countersunk hole 175 changes the flatness of the second side panel 170, improves the structural strength of the second side panel 170, and can ensure the stability of the connection structure between the external machine panel and the external machine body. The fifth reinforcing rib 171 and the sixth reinforcing rib 173 further improve the structural strength of the second side panel 170, prevent deformation of the second side panel 170 when it is hit, and thus improve the overall structural strength of the external machine panel.

[0068] In this embodiment, the fifth reinforcing rib 171 and the sixth reinforcing rib 173 are both recessed on the outer surface of the second side panel 170, and the fifth reinforcing rib 171 and the sixth reinforcing rib 173 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, one end of the fifth reinforcing rib 171 is disposed at the top of the second side panel 170, and the other end of the fifth reinforcing rib 171 vertically extends downward to the upper part of the second mounting countersunk hole 175; one end of the sixth reinforcing rib 173 is disposed at the bottom of the second side panel 170, and the other end of the sixth reinforcing rib 173 vertically extends upward to the lower part of the second mounting countersunk hole 175. That is, the second mounting countersunk hole 175 is disposed between the fifth reinforcing rib 171 and the sixth reinforcing rib 173.

[0069] The fifth reinforcing rib 171 extends from the top of the second side panel 170 to the upper part of the second mounting countersunk hole 175, and plays a role in improving the strength of the area between the top of the second side panel 170 and the second mounting countersunk hole 175. The sixth reinforcing rib 173 extends from the bottom of the second side panel 170 to the lower part of the second mounting countersunk hole 175, and plays a role in improving the strength of the area between the bottom of the second side panel 170 and the second mounting countersunk hole 175. The second mounting countersunk hole 175 is arranged between the fifth reinforcing rib 171 and the sixth reinforcing rib 173, and further improves the strength of the location where the second mounting countersunk hole 175 is arranged on the second side panel 170.

[0070] The second transition panel 190 is disposed between the front panel and the second side panel 170, and the second transition panel 190 forms an angle with the front panel and the second side panel 170, and the second transition panel 190 is provided with a seventh reinforcing rib 191. The front panel is connected to the second side panel 170 through the second transition panel 190, which reduces the angle of the corner between the front panel and the second side panel 170, reduces the risk of being hit there, and the seventh reinforcing rib 191 is provided on the second transition panel 190, further improves the structural strength of the corner position, and avoids the corner position from being deformed or opened due to being hit.

[0071] Furthermore, the seventh reinforcing rib 191 is recessed on the outer surface of the second transition panel 190, and the seventh reinforcing rib 191 extends from the bottom of the second transition panel 190 to the top of the second transition panel 190. The seventh reinforcing rib 191 extends from the bottom of the second transition panel 190 to the top of the second transition panel 190, which greatly improves the strength of the second transition panel 190, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the external panel.

[0072] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the external panel 100 provided in this embodiment at a third viewing angle.

[0073] In order to further improve the strength of the external machine panel 100, a plurality of fourth reinforcing ribs 1121 are further provided on the convex 112 of the front panel 110. Since a compressor is installed inside the convex 112, in order to avoid occupying the installation space of the compressor, in this embodiment, the fourth reinforcing ribs 1121 are protruded from the outer surface of the convex 112, and a corresponding depression is formed on the inner surface of the convex 112.

[0074] In this embodiment, the fourth reinforcing rib 1121 extends linearly in the horizontal direction. In other embodiments, the fourth reinforcing rib 1121 may be adjusted to other shapes according to actual application conditions.

[0075] In summary, in the actual application of the external machine panel 100 provided in this embodiment, the top of the external machine panel 100 is connected to the external machine top cover 200, and the bottom of the external machine panel 100 is connected to the external machine base. That is, the top of the first side panel 130 and the front panel 110 are connected to the external machine top cover 200, and the bottom of the first side panel 130 and the front panel 110 are connected to the external machine base. Since the first side panel 130 is respectively provided with the first reinforcing rib 131, the first mounting countersunk hole 132 and the second reinforcing rib 133, the structural strength of the first side panel 130 is significantly improved. In addition, the first mounting countersunk hole 132 is arranged on the first side panel 130 between the first reinforcing rib 131 and the second reinforcing rib 133, and the structural strength is significantly improved. When the first mounting countersunk hole 132 is connected to the condenser, it will not be more easily deformed due to stress concentration. In addition, a mounting protrusion 134 is also provided on the top of the first side panel 130, and the strength of the top external aid of the first side panel 130 is further improved, and it is less likely to be deformed by impact. The mounting protrusion 134 is interference fit with the external machine top cover 200, and the matching structure is more stable, and it is less likely to open when the top corner is hit. In addition, the provision of the first transition panel 150 and the provision of the fourth reinforcing rib 1121 on the convex bulge 112 of the front panel 110 further improve the overall strength of the external machine panel 100, and it is less likely to be deformed. The second side panel significantly improves the structural strength through the fifth reinforcing rib 171 and the sixth reinforcing rib 173, and is connected and fixed to the body of the external machine through the second mounting countersunk hole 175, so that the overall structural strength of the external machine panel is further improved.

[0076] Therefore, the external machine panel 100 provided in this embodiment has a higher structural strength of the first side panel 130, the second side panel and the front panel 110, and a more stable connection structure with the external machine top cover 200 and the external machine body, and can withstand greater impact and compression.

[0077] This embodiment also provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, and the outdoor unit is provided with the aforementioned outdoor unit panel 100. Therefore, the air conditioner provided in this embodiment has a more stable structure, and the transportation and disassembly process is safer.

[0078] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
