[0002] In the prior art, in the external unit of a split air conditioner, the electric control box is usually arranged in such a way that the PCB surface is parallel to the top cover of the external unit and is arranged directly above the compressor. Since the electric control box must span the compressor cavity and the radiator is exposed in the fan cavity, the length of the electric control box is redundant. And since the PCB surface faces the bottom of the external unit housing, when performing after-sales maintenance on the electric control box, it is necessary to remove the panel and unplug the wires from the bottom of the electric control box to remove the main board from the top. This causes great inconvenience to the maintenance of the electric control box and increases the maintenance cost. Summary of the invention

When it is necessary to remove the electric control box, it is only necessary to remove the fixing parts, and then pull out the electric control box along the first mounting portion, so that the electric control box can be disassembled quickly and efficiently. In this way, the difficulty of assembling the electric control box can be reduced, the efficiency of assembling the electric control box can be improved, and thus the production efficiency can be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] 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.

[0042] See also Figure 1 In the present application, an air conditioner 10 is provided, which is configured to perform air conditioning on a designated area, thereby improving the comfort of the designated area and meeting the needs of users. It should be noted that the air conditioning function includes but is not limited to temperature regulation, humidity regulation, fresh air regulation, and circulating air flow rate regulation.

[0043] The air conditioner 10 includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, which are connected to each other and can allow refrigerant to circulate between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. The indoor unit is configured to be installed in a designated area to provide air conditioning to the designated area; the outdoor unit is configured to be installed in an external environment outside the designated area, and the outdoor unit is configured to provide a heat exchange location for the refrigerant. In other words, during the refrigerant circulation process, the refrigerant exchanges heat with the external environment while flowing through the outdoor unit.

[0044] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The external unit includes a housing 11, a windproof plate 100, an electric control box 200, a compressor and a condenser 12. The windproof plate 100 is installed inside the housing 11, and the windproof plate 100 divides the internal space of the housing 11 into two cavities, and the compressor and the condenser 12 are respectively installed in the two cavities of the housing 11. The electric control box 200 is electrically connected to the compressor and is configured to control the operation of the compressor. In the prior art, the PCB board surface in the electric control box 200 is arranged roughly parallel to the top cover of the shell 11, so that the electric control box 200 is arranged roughly parallel to the top cover of the shell 11. In this case, since the electric control box 200 must span the installation cavity 2111 where the compressor is located, and the radiator in the electric control box 200 must be exposed in the installation cavity 2111 where the condenser 12 is located, the length of the electric control box 200 is long; and, since the front side of the PCB board is usually facing down in order to protect the PCB board, the shell 11 needs to be disassembled for maintenance, and the wires need to be unplugged from the bottom of the electric control box 200 to remove the PCB board from the top, which increases the difficulty of maintenance; in addition, when the external units are stacked, the upper external unit is likely to cause damage to the PCB board of the lower external unit; it will also cause frost on the top of the electric control box 200, and it is necessary to add a cover of the electric control box 200 to protect electrical safety, which increases the cost.

[0045] In order to improve the above problems, the present application provides an air conditioner 10 to improve the problem of high maintenance cost of the electric control box 200 in the prior art, and can also improve the problem of easy damage and high cost of the electric control box 200 in the prior art.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the wind-blocking plate 100 is vertically installed inside the housing 11. When the external unit is normally installed, the wind-blocking plate 100 is regarded as a plate-like structure, and the wind-blocking plate 100 is vertically installed, which means that the wind-blocking plate 100 is roughly perpendicular to the horizontal plane; thus, the internal space of the housing 11 can be divided into two cavities by the wind-blocking plate 100.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, a first mounting portion 110 is formed on the wind-blocking vertical plate 100, and the first mounting portion 110 is vertically arranged. The vertical arrangement of the first mounting portion 110 means that when the external unit is normally installed and placed, the first mounting portion 110 is approximately perpendicular to the horizontal plane. A slide groove 2132 is arranged on the electric control box 200, and the slide groove 2132 is adapted to the first mounting portion 110; the first mounting portion 110 and the slide groove 2132 are slidably matched, and the electric control box 200 is vertically arranged. It should be noted that the vertical arrangement of the electric control box 200 can make the PCB board approximately perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and there is no need to make the electric control box 200 straddle the cavity where the compressor is arranged, and the installation of the electric control box 200 can be completed by the cooperation of the first mounting portion 110 and the slide groove 2132. In addition, in order to improve the installation stability of the electrical control box 200 and the wind shielding plate 100, the external unit also includes a fixing member, through which the electrical control box 200 is detachably connected to the wind shielding plate 100, so that the electrical control box 200 is fixed relative to the wind shielding plate 100; in other words, when the electrical control box 200 slides to a preset position along the first mounting portion 110, the electrical control box 200 and the wind shielding plate 100 can be relatively fixed by the fixing member, thereby achieving the purpose of stably installing the electrical control box 200 on the wind shielding plate 100.

[0048] As described above, since the electric control box 200 is vertically mounted on the wind-blocking plate 100, it is not necessary to cross the cavity where the compressor is installed, thus solving the technical problem of the length of the electric control box 200 in the prior art. When the electric control box 200 needs to be maintained, the fixing of the electric control box 200 and the wind-blocking plate 100 by the fixing parts is released, and the electric control box 200 can slide along the first mounting portion 110 to remove the electric control box 200, so that the electric control box 200 can be quickly and efficiently removed by removing one fixing part, thus improving the technical problem of high maintenance cost of the electric control box 200 in the prior art. In addition, since the electric control box 200 is vertically mounted, it can prevent the electric control box 200 in the lower external unit from being damaged by force when the external units are stacked.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the electric control box 200 includes a mounting body 210 and a heat dissipation assembly 220. It should be noted that: Figure 3The heat dissipation assembly 220 is assembled with the installation body 210 along the dotted line. The installation body 210 is configured to install a PCB board and electrical parts, and the heat dissipation assembly 220 is installed on the installation body 210, so that the heat dissipation assembly 220 can provide heat dissipation to the installation body 210. Among them, the slide groove 2132 is formed on the installation body 210, so that the installation body 210 can slide with the first installation part 110 through the slide groove 2132. In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the slide groove 2132 is located on at least one side of the heat dissipation assembly 220. In other words, the slide groove 2132 can be formed only on one side of the heat dissipation component 220, or the slide groove 2132 can be formed on both sides of the heat dissipation component 220, so that the slide grooves 2132 on both sides of the heat dissipation component 220 can be slidably matched with at least two first mounting parts 110, which can ensure the matching stability between the installation body 210 and the wind-blocking upright plate 100, and can also facilitate the stable sliding of the installation body 210 relative to the wind-blocking upright plate 100, preventing the installation body 210 from being separated from the wind-blocking upright plate 100 during the sliding process relative to the wind-blocking upright plate 100. In addition, the installation body 210 is detachably connected to the wind-blocking upright plate 100 through a fixing member.

[0050] It should be noted that the electric control box 200 is configured to move along the first preset direction to realize the detachment of the wind-shielding vertical plate 100, such as Figure 3 , direction a in the figure can represent the first preset direction. In addition, the direction opposite to the first preset direction is the second preset direction; in other words, the electric control box 200 slides on the windproof upright plate 100 along the second preset direction, so as to achieve the purpose of installing the electric control box 200 into the windproof upright plate 100, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , the direction b in the figure can represent the second preset direction. In addition, the direction perpendicular to the first preset direction and the second preset direction is the third preset direction. Of course, the third preset direction is roughly parallel to the windproof vertical board 100, such as Figure 3 , the c direction in the figure may represent the third preset direction. Wherein, the two sides of the heat dissipation component 220 represent the two sides of the heat dissipation component 220 in the third preset direction.

[0051] In order to facilitate the installation of the heat dissipation component 220 on the installation body 210, the installation body 210 is provided with an installation cavity 2111. Figure 5, the heat dissipation assembly 220 is installed in the installation cavity 2111. The heat dissipation assembly 220 includes a carrier 221 and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 222, and the plurality of heat dissipation fins 222 are arranged at intervals on the carrier 221. When the heat dissipation assembly 220 is installed on the installation body 210, the plurality of heat dissipation fins 222 pass through the installation cavity 2111, and the carrier 221 is connected to the installation body 210, thereby realizing the installation of the heat dissipation assembly 220 and the installation body 210. It should be noted that, due to the setting of the installation cavity 2111, the side of the carrier 221 away from the heat dissipation fins 222 is not blocked, which facilitates the heat dissipation of the carrier 221, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation assembly 220.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a first bearing block 213 is convexly provided on at least one side of the installation cavity 2111, and a sliding portion 2131 is convexly provided on the side of the first bearing block 213 away from the installation cavity 2111, and the sliding portion 2131 is spaced apart from the installation body 210 to form a slide groove 2132. It should be noted that at least one side of the installation cavity 2111 means at least one side of the two sides of the installation cavity 2111 along the third preset direction; in other words, the first bearing block 213 can be provided on one side of the installation cavity 2111 along the third preset direction; or, the first bearing block 213 can be provided on both sides of the installation cavity 2111 along the third preset direction. In the following, the setting mode in which the first bearing block 213 is provided on both sides of the installation cavity 2111 is described as an example. Correspondingly, at least two first mounting portions 110 are formed on the windproof vertical plate 100, and the two first mounting portions 110 are respectively matched with the two slide grooves 2132.

[0053] Optionally, the first bearing block 213 may be in the form of a sheet, and the sheet-shaped first bearing block 213 extends along the first preset direction, and the first bearing block 213 is substantially parallel to the side of the mounting cavity 2111. When the heat dissipation assembly 220 is installed in the mounting cavity 2111, the first bearing block 213 cooperates with the carrier 221, thereby providing a limiting effect to the heat dissipation assembly 220 through the first bearing block 213, thereby improving the stability of the heat dissipation assembly 220 installed on the mounting body 210. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, a certain gap may be formed between the first bearing block 213 and the side of the mounting cavity 2111, so that when the heat dissipation assembly 220 is installed in the mounting cavity 2111, a gap is formed between the first bearing block 213 and the carrier 221. It should be understood that the extension length of the first bearing block 213 along the second preset direction may also be less than the side of the mounting cavity 2111, as long as the first bearing block 213 can meet the setting of the sliding portion 2131.

[0054] Of course, in some embodiments of the present application, a sheet-shaped first supporting block 213 can be set on one side of the installation cavity 2111 along the first preset direction and on one side of the installation cavity 2111 along the second preset direction, so that a plurality of first supporting blocks 213 are arranged around the installation cavity 2111, thereby providing limiting and positioning functions to the heat dissipation assembly 220 through the plurality of first supporting blocks 213.

[0055] In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the sliding portion 2131 is arranged at one end of the first bearing block 213 along the first preset direction, so that the installation body 210 can move a distance along the second preset direction before the first installation portion 110 and the slide groove 2132 can cooperate with each other, thereby shortening the sliding distance of the electric control box 200 relative to the first installation portion 110, thereby shortening the assembly time of the electric control box 200 and improving production efficiency. Of course, in the process of disassembling the electric control box 200, the electric control box 200 can also be disassembled by sliding a shorter distance, shortening the disassembly time, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembling the electric control box 200, improving maintenance efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the sliding portion 2131 can also be arranged at one end of the first bearing block 213 along the second preset direction.

[0056] In order to facilitate the cooperation between the first mounting portion 110 and the slide groove 2132, in some embodiments of the present application, optionally, one end of the slide groove 2132 along the second preset direction is flared. In other words, an inclined surface is provided at the end of the sliding portion 2131 along the second preset direction. The inclined surface gradually increases the distance between the sliding portion 2131 and the mounting body 210 along the second preset direction to facilitate the first mounting portion 110 to be inserted into the slide groove 2132, thereby reducing the difficulty of cooperation between the first mounting portion 110 and the slide groove 2132, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the electrical control box 200 and the wind shielding plate 100.

[0057] Optionally, see Figure 8In some embodiments of the present application, in order to facilitate the heat dissipation assembly 220 to extend into the cavity where the condenser 12 is installed, a mounting groove 101 is provided on the wind-blocking vertical plate 100, and the side wall of the mounting groove 101 forms a first mounting portion 110. Among them, there are two side walls on the mounting groove 101 along the third preset direction. When the electric control box 200 is assembled on the wind-blocking vertical plate 100, the two sliding grooves 2132 on the electric control box 200 respectively cooperate with the two side walls of the mounting groove 101 and slide along the two side walls to install the electric control box 200 into the mounting groove 101. When the electric control box 200 is installed in the mounting groove 101, the heat dissipation assembly 220 extends through the mounting groove 101 into the cavity where the condenser 12 is installed. When the airflow passes through the condenser 12 and enters the cavity, the airflow can take away the heat on the heat dissipation assembly 220, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation of the electric control box 200 through the heat dissipation assembly 220.

[0058] It should be noted that, when the electric control box 200 is installed in the installation groove 101 , the electric control box 200 can cover the installation groove 101 , thereby separating the cavity where the condenser 12 is installed from the cavity where the compressor is installed.

[0059] It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the installation groove 101 may not be provided on the wind-blocking plate 100. For example, a first installation portion 110 is formed by extending along a first preset direction on one side of the wind-blocking plate 100, and the first installation portion 110 is slidably matched with the slide groove 2132, thereby realizing the assembly of the electric control box 200 and the wind-blocking plate 100. Of course, in order to extend the heat dissipation assembly 220 into the cavity where the condenser 12 is installed, the electric control box 200 can be installed on the side of the wind-blocking plate 100 facing the condenser 12.

[0060] In case of outdoor unit air intake, please refer to Fig. 9 , the air enters from the side of the shell 11 close to the condenser 12, and the wind direction of the air entering the shell 11 is approximately perpendicular to the condenser 12, such as Fig. 9 In the figure, the direction d can represent the air inlet direction of the air inlet of the outdoor unit. In addition, the straight line f can represent the air inlet direction. When the airflow passes through the condenser 12 and enters the cavity, the airflow flows through the heat dissipation component 220 to take away the heat emitted by the heat dissipation component 220, so that the heat dissipation component 220 dissipates heat to the electric control box 200. The heat dissipation surface (not marked) of the heat dissipation component 220 protrudes from the mounting body 210. When the electric control box 200 is mounted on the windshield plate 100, the heat dissipation surface is roughly parallel to the windshield plate 100. Fig. 9In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency provided by the heat dissipation assembly 220, in some embodiments of the present application, the wind-shielding plate 100 is tilted relative to the condenser 12 so that an acute angle is formed between the heat dissipation surface and the condenser 12, wherein the acute angle can be represented by Fig. 9 In other words, the acute angle formed between the heat dissipation surface and the condenser 12 can be expressed as the acute angle e formed between the straight line g and the straight line f. Due to the acute angle formed between the heat dissipation surface and the condenser 12, the heat dissipation component 220 is tilted toward the condenser 12 by a certain angle, thereby increasing the area of ​​the heat dissipation component 220 facing the condenser 12; in other words, the area of ​​the heat dissipation component 220 facing the air inlet of the external unit is increased, thereby increasing the wind receiving area of ​​the heat dissipation component 220, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0061] It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present application, in order to prevent the deflection of the wind shielding plate 100 from affecting the parts in the external unit, some positions on the wind shielding plate 100 can also be set to be inclined relative to the wind shielding plate 100. It is only necessary to make the heat dissipation component 220 deflected to the condenser 12 by a certain angle when the electrical control box 200 is installed on the wind shielding plate 100, so as to increase the area of ​​the heat dissipation component 220 facing the air inlet of the external unit.

[0062] In addition, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig.10 , while the side wall of the installation groove 101 forms the first installation part 110, the bottom wall of the installation groove 101 forms the second installation part 120. It should be noted that the bottom wall of the installation groove 101 refers to the peripheral wall of the installation groove 101 along the second preset direction. In order to improve the assembly stability between the electric control box 200 and the windproof vertical plate 100, in some embodiments of the present application, a second bearing block 214 is also convexly provided on the installation body 210, and a card slot 2143 is opened on the second bearing block 214, and the second installation part 120 cooperates with the card slot 2143. Through the mutual cooperation between the second installation part 120 and the card slot 2143, the second installation part 120 can provide a limiting effect to the electric control box 200, thereby improving the stability of the electric control box 200 installed on the windproof vertical plate 100. Of course, the mutual cooperation between the second installation part 120 and the card slot 2143 can also provide a positioning effect for the electric control box 200, so as to ensure that the electric control box 200 is accurately installed at the specified position.

[0063] It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, a card slot 2143 may also be opened on the bottom wall of the installation slot 101, and the second supporting block 214 is adapted to the card slot 2143, thereby improving the installation stability of the electric control box 200 through the cooperation between the second supporting block 214 and the card slot 2143.

[0064] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the windshield stand 100 is partially arc-shaped, and the bottom wall of the installation slot 101 is curved. In order to adapt to the arc-shaped installation slot 101, an arc-shaped slot 2143 is formed on the second bearing block 214. Fig.10 and Fig.11 , the second carrier block 214 is provided with a first clamping block 2141 and a second clamping block 2142 protruding therefrom, the first clamping block 2141 and the second clamping block 2142 are both arc-shaped, and the first clamping block 2141 and the second clamping block 2142 are arranged at intervals from each other, thereby forming an arc-shaped clamping groove 2143 between the first clamping block 2141 and the second clamping block 2142, and the clamping groove 2143 matches the second mounting portion 120. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the clamping groove 2143 may be formed in other ways, for example, the arc-shaped clamping groove 2143 may be directly opened on the second carrier block 214, etc.

[0065] In addition, in order to facilitate the matching of the card slot 2143 with the second mounting portion 120, and to improve the assembly efficiency of the card slot 2143 and the second mounting portion 120. Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the opening of the card slot 2143 is set to be flared. In other words, the side of the first clamping block 2141 away from the second bearing block 214 is turned away from the second clamping block 2142 to form a flange, thereby facilitating the second mounting portion 120 to be accurately clamped into the card slot 2143, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the second mounting portion 120 and the card slot 2143. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, flanges may be formed on both the first clamping block 2141 and the second clamping block 2142, so that the opening of the card slot 2143 is flared.

[0066] Of course, in order to improve the matching stability between the second mounting portion 120 and the slot 2143, in the embodiment of the present application, a clamping rib is provided on the second holding block 2142, and the clamping rib is convexly arranged on the side of the second holding block 2142 close to the first holding block 2141. When the second mounting portion 120 is inserted into the slot 2143, due to the setting of the clamping rib 2144, the clamping rib 2144 and the first holding block 2141 can provide a clamping effect on the second mounting portion 120, thereby improving the matching stability between the second mounting portion 120 and the slot 2143, so as to improve the installation stability of the electric control box 200. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, a clamping rib 2144 can also be provided on the first holding block 2141. It should be noted that a plurality of clamping ribs 2144 are provided on the second holding block 2142, and the plurality of clamping ribs 2144 are arranged at intervals.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 7The installation body 210 includes a first body 211 and a second body 212, and the first body 211 and the second body 212 are arranged in parallel. The above-mentioned "arranged in parallel" refers to that one side of the first body 211 is connected to one side of the second body 212, and the first body 211 and the second body 212 are approximately located in the same plane, so that the installation body 210 is flat as a whole. The heat dissipation component 220 is installed on the first body 211. In other words, a mounting cavity 2111 is provided on the first body 211, and the heat dissipation component 220 is installed in the mounting cavity 2111; in addition, the first bearing block 213 and the second bearing block 214 are arranged on the first body 211, so that the slide groove 2132 is formed on the first body 211. Optionally, a connecting portion 215 is convexly provided on the side of the second body 212 away from the first body 211, and the fixing member passes through the connecting portion 215 and is detachably matched with the wind-blocking upright plate 100, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the installation body 210 and the wind-blocking upright plate 100.

[0068] Optionally, the fixing member may be a screw. In this case, a through hole adapted to the screw is provided on the connecting portion 215, and a threaded hole adapted to the screw is provided on the wind-shielding vertical plate 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the fixing member may also be a rivet, a clip or a pin.

[0069] It should be noted that, when the slide groove 2132 cooperates with the first mounting portion 110, and the second mounting portion 120 cooperates with the second supporting block 214, the connecting portion 215 cooperates with the wind-shielding upright plate 100, so that the first main body 211 and the second main body 212 can be stably connected to the wind-shielding upright plate 100, thereby improving the installation stability of the mounting main body 210 and the wind-shielding upright plate 100, and preventing the electric control box 200 from generating large vibrations, thereby ensuring the stability of the electric control box 200.

[0070] In addition, in order to improve the installation stability of the electric control box 200 and the wind-blocking vertical plate 100, in some embodiments of the present application, a hook 216 is provided on one side of the second body 212 along the first preset direction, and the hook 216 is detachably hooked on the wind-blocking vertical plate 100. It should be noted that when the first body 211 is installed into the installation slot 101 along the second preset direction, the hook 216 moves along the second preset direction with the second body 212, and when the first body 211 moves to a preset position relative to the wind-blocking vertical plate 100, the hook 216 is hooked on the wind-blocking vertical plate 100, so that the installation stability of the installation body 210 and the wind-blocking vertical plate 100 can be improved by the hook 216. In addition, it is also possible to determine whether the electric control box 200 has been accurately moved to the preset position by whether the hook 216 is hung on the wind partition board 100; for example, when there is a gap between the hook 216 and the wind partition board 100, it means that the electric control box 200 has not been moved to the accurate installation position, and the electric control box 200 needs to continue to be moved along the second preset direction; for another example, when the hook 216 is stably hung on the wind partition board 100, it means that the electric control box 200 has been moved to the accurate installation position.

[0071] Similarly, in order to improve the installation stability of the electric control box 200 and the wind-blocking upright plate 100, in some embodiments of the present application, a buckle 217 is further provided on the other side of the second body 212 along the first preset direction, and the buckle 217 is detachably clamped on the wind-blocking upright plate 100. It should be noted that the other side of the second body 212 along the first preset direction refers to one side of the second body 212 along the second preset direction. In other words, when the hook 216 is provided on the second body 212, the buckle 217 and the hook 216 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the second body 212; the buckle 217 and the hook 216 can provide a stabilizing effect on the second body 212 on the opposite sides of the second body 212, thereby ensuring that the second body 212 can be stably matched with the wind-blocking upright plate 100, thereby achieving the purpose of stably matching the electric control box 200 with the wind-blocking upright plate 100.

[0072] Of course, in order to facilitate the matching of the buckle 217 with the windbreak plate 100, in some embodiments of the present application, a matching hole 130 is provided on the windbreak plate 100, and the buckle 217 passes through the matching hole 130 so that the buckle 217 can be clamped on the windbreak plate 100. It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, a convex block that matches the buckle 217 can also be provided on the windbreak plate 100, and when the electric control box 200 is moved to a preset position relative to the windbreak plate 100 for installation, the buckle 217 is clamped on the convex block, thereby achieving stable matching between the second body 212 and the windbreak plate 100.

[0073] It should be noted that by respectively providing a hook 216 and a buckle 217 on opposite sides of the second body 212, the matching stability between the second body 212 and the wind-blocking upright board 100 is improved. It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, one of the hook 216 and the buckle 217 can be eliminated; for example, the setting of the hook 216 is eliminated, and when the second body 212 and the wind-blocking upright board 100 are matched with each other, the buckle 217 is clamped on the wind-blocking upright board 100, so that the second body 212 can be stably matched with the wind-blocking upright board 100; for another example, the setting of the buckle 217 is eliminated, and when the second body 212 and the wind-blocking upright board 100 are matched with each other, the hook 216 is hung on the wind-blocking upright board 100, so as to improve the matching stability between the second body 212 and the wind-blocking upright board 100. In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, a hook 216 is provided on one side of the second body 212 along the first preset direction, and / or a buckle 217 is provided on the other side of the second body 212 along the first preset direction.

[0074] In addition, in some other embodiments of the present application, a third bearing block 218 is provided on one side of the second body 212 along the first preset direction, and the connecting portion 215 and the hanging buckle 216 are respectively provided at both ends of the third bearing block 218. In the case where the fixing member passes through the connecting portion 215 and cooperates with the windbreak vertical plate 100, the third bearing block 218 forms the connecting portion 215 and the hanging buckle 216 as one body, thereby improving the position stability of the hanging buckle 216, thereby ensuring that the hanging buckle 216 can be stably hung on the windbreak vertical plate 100, so as to improve the cooperation stability between the second body 212 and the windbreak vertical plate 100. In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion 215 is in the shape of a sheet and is arranged on a side of the second main body 212 away from the first main body 211, so that the connecting portion 215 and the hook 216 are respectively arranged on two adjacent side edges of the second main body 212. When matched with the wind-blocking vertical board 100, the connecting portion 215 and the hook 216 can provide a stabilizing effect to the second main body 212 from two directions on the second main body 212, thereby improving the matching stability between the second main body 212 and the wind-blocking vertical board 100.

[0075] In summary, in the air conditioner 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the electric control box 200 can slide to a specified position relative to the first mounting portion 110 through the cooperation of the slide groove 2132 and the mounting portion, so that the electric control box 200 is vertically mounted on the wind-blocking vertical plate 100, and the electric control box 200 is detachably mounted on the wind-blocking vertical plate 100 through the fixing member. In the case where the electric control box 200 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to remove the fixing member, and then pull out the electric control box 200 along the first mounting portion 110, so that the electric control box 200 can be quickly and efficiently disassembled. In this way, the assembly difficulty of the electric control box 200 can be reduced, the assembly efficiency of the electric control box 200 can be improved, and thus the production efficiency can be improved. In addition, in the case where the electric control box 200 needs to be maintained, the electric control box 200 can be quickly and efficiently disassembled, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty, and improving the technical problem of high maintenance cost of the electric control box 200 in the prior art. Furthermore, since the wind-blocking plate 100 is inclined relative to the condenser 12, an acute angle is formed between the heat dissipation surface and the condenser 12, so as to increase the area of ​​the heat dissipation component 220 facing the air inlet of the external unit, thereby increasing the wind receiving area of ​​the heat dissipation component 220, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency provided by the heat dissipation component 220 to the electric control box 200. In addition, due to the arrangement of the hook 216 and the buckle 217, the stability of the cooperation between the electric control box 200 and the wind-blocking plate 100 can be improved, and the installation strength can be improved. Moreover, the arrangement of the electric control box 200 saves a large number of parts and reduces the manufacturing cost of the electric control box 200.

[0076] 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.
