Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to an outdoor unit for an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, although the internal electrical control layout of air conditioner outdoor units produced by different manufacturers varies, they basically have the following common features: compact layout, difficult disassembly and assembly, and inconvenient maintenance. The common electrical control layout is as follows: the power board is installed on the side, the filter board is installed on the bottom front, and the main control board is installed on the top front. In this way, the power board, which generates a lot of heat, can be cooled by the airflow generated by the outdoor unit's fan wheel. The main control board, located on the top front, is convenient for wiring. However, the assembly, disassembly, inspection, and maintenance of the power board on the side and the filter board on the back are very inconvenient. Moreover, the horizontally placed main control board and filter board are prone to dust accumulation, which has a certain negative impact on the normal operation of electronic components.

[0036] In this embodiment, the compressor assembly 6 is connected to the condenser 3 through the hydraulic module assembly 7 to realize the refrigeration cycle. The fan assembly 2 located in the second cavity 18 dissipates heat from the condenser 3 to ensure the normal operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The electrical control assembly 5 is electrically connected to the compressor assembly 6, the hydraulic module assembly 7 and the fan assembly 2 respectively to control and adjust the working state of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0037] Further, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The housing includes a first side cover 11, a second side cover 12, a top cover 13, a rear cover, a chassis 14, and feet 15. One side of the first side cover 11 is detachably connected to one side of the second side cover 12, and the other side of the second side cover 12 is detachably connected to one side of the rear cover. The other side of the rear cover is detachably connected to the first side cover 11. The top cover 13 is detachably connected to the top of the first side cover 11, the second side cover 12, and the rear cover. The chassis 14 is detachably connected to the bottom of the first side cover 11, the second side cover 12, and the rear cover. The feet 15 are fixedly connected to the chassis 14. The air outlet hood 4 is disposed on the first side cover 11, and the second side cover 12 is provided with an inspection window 121, which is opposite to the first fixing plate 51.

[0038] In this embodiment, the top cover 13 is bolted to the first side cover 11, the second side cover 12, and the rear cover, respectively, and the chassis 14 is bolted to the first side cover 11, the second side cover 12, and the rear cover, respectively; the first side cover 11 is bolted to the second side cover 12; the second side cover 12 is provided with an inspection window 121 to facilitate the maintenance of electrical components on the right side of the mounting bracket; in addition, the second side cover 12 is detachable to facilitate the maintenance of the electrical control component 5, the compressor component 6, and the hydraulic module component 7 in the first cavity 17.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 7 The air vent 4 includes an outer frame 41, an inner frame 42, multiple diagonal ribs 43, multiple annular ribs 44, and two longitudinal ribs 45. The diagonal ribs 43 are arc-shaped, with one end fixedly connected to the inner frame 42 and the other end fixedly connected to the outer frame 41. The multiple diagonal ribs 43 are arranged radially along the circumference of the inner frame 42. The inner diameter of the annular ribs 44 increases progressively, and the multiple annular ribs 44 are concentrically installed on the diagonal ribs 43. The longitudinal ribs 45 are horizontally arranged, with one end fixedly connected to the annular rib 44 adjacent to the inner frame 42 and the other end fixedly connected to the outer frame 41. The first included angle between the diagonal rib 43 adjacent to the longitudinal rib 45 and the longitudinal rib 45 is between 18° and 25°, the second included angle between adjacent diagonal ribs 43 is between 18° and 25°, and the spacing between adjacent annular ribs 44 is between 7.5 and 7.8 mm.

[0040] In this implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the angle between the first diagonal rib 43 adjacent to the longitudinal rib 45 and the longitudinal rib 45 is α, 18°≤α≤25°; limiting the angle between the diagonal rib 43 and the longitudinal rib 45, and limiting the angle between adjacent diagonal ribs 43, can improve the air outlet effect of the air outlet net; furthermore, the ring rib 44 and the diagonal rib 43 form a plurality of small holes, the small holes are set to be small, the small holes can effectively block foreign objects from entering the air conditioner outdoor unit, thereby enabling the air conditioner outdoor unit to maintain normal operation; further still, the spacing between adjacent ring ribs 44 is limited, so that the spacing between the ring ribs 44 is small enough to block foreign objects or users from directly contacting the fan assembly 2, and at this spacing, the air outlet cover 4 can still meet the air volume requirements, so that the air conditioner outdoor unit can work normally.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figures 9 to 11The hydraulic module assembly 7 includes a fixing frame 71, a water pump 72, a hydraulic module part 73, and a first connecting plate 74.

[0042] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first connecting plate 74 is bolted to the top of the fixing frame 71. A third clearance groove is provided at the bottom of the first connecting plate 74. The third clearance groove is used to avoid the side corner of the top of the fixing frame 71, ensuring a stable connection between the first connecting plate 74 and the fixing frame 71 while reducing wear between them. A first clearance groove 741 is provided at the top of the first connecting plate 74 to avoid the pipeline of the hydraulic module 73, ensuring the normal and orderly installation of the components of the hydraulic module 73 and improving space utilization. A first reinforcing rib 711 is provided on the side of the fixing frame 71, which can improve the overall strength of the fixing frame 71 and extend its service life. The connecting seat is used to fix the first pipeline. The connecting seat has a certain thickness, which can effectively support the first pipeline and reduce the noise generated when the fluid flows in the first pipeline, thereby reducing the noise of the hydraulic module component 7 during operation.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The second side cover 12 is provided with a shielding cover 8 and a protective cover 9 on its outer side. The shielding cover 8 is located on the outer side of the inspection window 121, and the protective cover 9 is located below the shielding cover 8. The protective cover 9 is used to protect the pipeline of the hydraulic module 73.

[0044] The cover 8 can cover the inspection window 121, protecting the electrical components inside the inspection window 121 and the bolt connection positions on the outside of the inspection window 121, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the outdoor unit. The protective cover 9 is used to protect the joints of the hydraulic module assembly 7, extending the service life of the joints, and can guide water dripping from the joints into the water collection tray, preventing water from affecting the hydraulic module components or compressor assembly 6, thereby improving the safety and stability of the outdoor unit during operation.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The top of the shielding cover 8 is provided with one or more first locking blocks, and the second side cover 12 is provided with one or more first locking slots. The first locking blocks are connected to the first locking slots. The bottom ends of the shielding cover 8 are respectively provided with third fixing holes 81, and the second side cover 12 is provided with two corresponding fourth fixing holes. The third fixing holes 81 are fixedly connected to the fourth fixing holes. Multiple wire passage grooves 82 are provided between the third fixing holes 81, and soft pads are provided in the wire passage grooves 82. The top of the protective cover 9 is provided with a fifth fixing hole 91, and the second... A sixth fixing hole is provided on the side cover 12, and the sixth fixing hole is fixedly connected to the fifth fixing hole 91; a second locking block 92 is provided at both ends of the bottom of the protective cover 9, and two second locking slots are provided on the second side cover 12, and the second locking block 92 is connected to the second locking slot; a protective cavity is provided in the middle of the protective cover 9, and a water storage tank 93 is provided at the bottom of the protective cavity. A water baffle 94 is provided at the front end of the water storage tank 93, and a water guide groove 95 is provided in the middle of the water baffle 94; multiple second reinforcing ribs 96 are provided on the inner wall of the protective cover 9.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first locking block is integrally formed with the shielding cover 8, the third fixing hole 81 is bolted to the fourth fixing hole, the soft pad is a sponge pad, and the soft pad is glued to the wire groove 82; the fifth fixing hole 91 is bolted to the sixth fixing hole, and the second locking block 92, the water-blocking strip 94 and the second reinforcing rib 96 are integrally formed with the protective cover 9.

[0047] In this embodiment, the water storage tank 93 is used to store dripping water from the hydraulic module component 7. When the dripping water accumulates to a certain extent, the water spreads towards the water-blocking strip 94 and is then guided to the water receiving tray at the bottom of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner through the water guide channel 95. The water-blocking strip 94 ensures that the dripping water only flows out from the water guide channel 95, thereby ensuring that all the dripping water is collected by the water receiving tray. The second reinforcing rib 96 can improve the overall strength of the protective cover 9 and extend the service life of the protective cover 9.

[0048] In this embodiment, a soft pad is provided inside the cable tray 82 to protect the data cable, reduce the possibility of wear and damage to the data cable, and also to prevent dust and water from entering the protective cover 9 through the cable tray 82, thereby preventing moisture and dust from entering the electronic control component 5 and improving the stability and safety of the electronic control component 5 during operation.

[0049] Further, please refer to Figure 10The chassis 14 is provided with a first positioning plate 141, and the bottom of the fixing frame 71 is provided with an L-shaped positioning plate 75. The left side of the vertical part of the L-shaped positioning plate 75 is provided with a third slot 751, and the side of the first positioning plate 141 is provided with a third locking block 142. The third locking block 142 is connected to the third slot 751. The right side of the horizontal part of the L-shaped positioning plate 75 is provided with one or more first fixing holes, and the bottom of the first positioning plate 141 is provided with one or more second fixing holes. In this embodiment, the L-shaped positioning plate 75 and the fixing frame 71 are integrally formed, and the third locking block 142 and the first positioning plate 141 are integrally formed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the horizontal part of the L-shaped positioning plate 75 serves as a limiting element. After the horizontal part of the L-shaped positioning plate 75 abuts against the chassis 14, the fixing bracket 71 moves backward. Through the cooperation of the third slot 751 of the L-shaped positioning plate 75 and the third block 142 of the first positioning plate 141, the hydraulic module assembly 7 is quickly positioned and fixed inside. In conjunction with the first fixing hole of the L-shaped positioning plate 75, the hydraulic module assembly 7 is fixedly installed on both the inner and outer sides. Only the bolt fixing operation needs to be performed on the outer side of the hydraulic module assembly 7, without the need for bolt fixing operation on the inner side, which reduces the assembly difficulty and improves the assembly efficiency. In addition, since a water receiving tray is provided at the bottom of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the L-shaped positioning plate 75 creates a certain distance between the fixing bracket 71 and the bottom of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, reducing the possibility of water vapor entering the components of the hydraulic module assembly 7 and avoiding the problem of the components of the hydraulic module assembly 7 being soaked in water, thus improving the stability and safety of the hydraulic module assembly 7 during operation.
