[0040] The purpose of this invention is to provide an installation structure for the electrical control box of an air conditioner outdoor unit, which can prevent water droplets splashed out by the radiator from entering the interior of the electrical control box, thus avoiding damage to the internal structure of the electrical control box, while quickly draining accumulated water through a water guide channel.
[0041] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] [First Embodiment]
[0043] See Figure 1-3 The first embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner outdoor unit electrical control box installation structure 100. The air conditioner outdoor unit 200 includes an outdoor unit base plate 210. The air conditioner outdoor unit electrical control box installation structure 100 includes a windproof upright plate 110 disposed on the outdoor unit base plate 210. One side of the windproof upright plate 110 is a compressor cavity 101. The air-insulating vertical plate 110 includes, for example, a mounting plate 111 and an electrical control box mounting port 112 formed in the mounting plate 111, with an air duct formed in the electrical control box mounting port 112; the air conditioner outdoor unit electrical control box mounting structure 100 also includes, for example, an electrical control box 120, which is parallel to the side of the air-insulating vertical plate 110 facing the compressor cavity 101. The electrical control box 120 includes a radiator bracket 130 and a water guide groove 140 located on at least one side of the radiator bracket 130. The radiator bracket 130 is located in the electrical control box mounting port 112, and the mounting plate 111 covers the water guide groove 140, which extends toward the outdoor unit base plate 210.
[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 111 covers the water guide groove 140, which can block water droplets thrown out by the motor rotation of the radiator 230. Water droplets are less likely to enter between the mounting plate 111 and the electrical control box 120, affecting the circuit board 220 and other structures inside the mounting box. When a small amount of water seeps between the mounting plate 111 and the electrical control box 120, the accumulated water can also flow along the water guide groove 140 to the outdoor unit base plate 210, thereby effectively draining water. At the same time, the electrical control box 120 is installed on the windproof upright plate 110, changing the orientation of the electrical control box 120. After the radiator 230 is installed on the radiator bracket 130, it is located in the air duct of the windproof upright plate 110, which facilitates the radiator 230 to dissipate heat from the circuit board 220 inside the electrical control box 120. The electrical control box 120 and the windproof upright plate 110 are in a parallel state, which facilitates the heat dissipation of the circuit board 220 and the windproof upright plate 110 through metal heat conduction.
[0045] Preferably, the electrical control box mounting port 112 can be located on either side of the mounting plate 111 or in the middle of the mounting plate 111. One side of the mounting plate 111 is used to accommodate the circuit board 220. The different locations of the electrical control box mounting port 112 on the mounting plate 111 allow for better heat dissipation at different points on the circuit board 220. The portion of the mounting plate 111 near the electrical control box mounting port 112 covers the water guide groove 140, effectively preventing water droplets from entering the side of the mounting plate 111 facing the compressor cavity 101.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, the control box 120 includes, for example, a circuit board bracket 150 disposed on the side of the mounting plate 111 facing the compressor cavity 101; wherein at least one water guide groove 140 is disposed between the circuit board bracket 150 and the radiator bracket 130.
[0047] Preferably, the water guide channel 140 includes a first water guide channel 141 and a second water guide channel 142 located on both sides of the radiator bracket 130, and the mounting plate 111 includes a first portion 111a and a second portion 111b located on both sides of the electrical control box mounting port 112. The first portion 111a is wider than the second portion 111b. The side of the first portion 111a facing the compressor cavity 101 is used to accommodate the circuit board bracket 150 and the first water guide channel 141 located between the circuit board bracket 150 and the radiator bracket 130; the second portion 111b is only used to accommodate the second water guide channel 142.
[0048] Furthermore, multiple sets of the first water guide channel 141 and the second water guide channel 142 can be arranged in parallel, such as 2 sets or 3 sets, which is not limited here, thereby improving their water blocking effect and further preventing water droplets from affecting the circuit board 220.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, see Figure 3-5 The circuit board support 150 includes, for example, multiple hollowed-out sections 151. After the circuit board 220 is installed on the circuit board support 150, a greenhouse space is formed between the circuit board 220 and the circuit board support 150. The multiple hollowed-out sections 151 can transfer the heat of the greenhouse space to the side of the circuit board support 150 away from the circuit board 220, facilitating heat conduction by the windproof upright plate 110. The windproof upright plate 110 can be made of metal to facilitate the transfer of heat from the greenhouse space to the air duct, where it is dissipated through the radiator 230, improving the heat dissipation efficiency inside the electrical control box 120.
[0050] The hollowed-out position 151 can be any shape, such as a rectangle or a circle, and there is no limitation here.
[0051] Preferably, the hollowed-out portion 151 is formed, for example, by a plurality of staggered transverse connecting rods 152 and longitudinal connecting rods 153. The circuit board support 150 further includes, for example, a mounting post 154, which is disposed at the junction of the transverse connecting rods 152 or the longitudinal connecting rods 153, or at the junction of the transverse connecting rods 152 and the longitudinal connecting rods 153. The mounting post 154 has a fixing hole and is connected to the circuit board 220 by screws or pins, thereby stably mounting the circuit board 220 on the circuit board support 150.
[0052] In one specific embodiment, combined with Figure 5-6The control box 120 also includes, for example, a bottom mounting plate 121 and a top mounting plate 122. The bottom mounting plate 121 connects the bottom of the circuit board bracket 150 and the radiator bracket 130 and extends toward the compressor cavity 101. The top mounting plate 122 connects the top of the circuit board bracket 150 and the radiator bracket 130 and extends toward the compressor cavity 101. The circuit board 220 is mounted between the bottom mounting plate 121 and the top mounting plate 122.
[0053] Preferably, the control box 120 further includes, for example, at least one circuit board limiting member. For example, the circuit board limiting member includes an outer limiting member 155 and an inner limiting member 156, both of which can be disposed on the side of the bottom mounting plate 121 and the top mounting plate 122 facing the circuit board 220, for fixing the circuit board 220.
[0054] Furthermore, the outer limiting member 155 has an inwardly facing first limiting surface, and the inner limiting member 156 has an outwardly facing second limiting surface. The circuit board 220 is disposed between the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface, thereby being stably installed in the control box 120. The outer limiting member 155 may also have a guide surface for the circuit board 220 facing the compressor cavity 101, facilitating the insertion of the circuit board 220 between the outer limiting member 155 and the inner limiting member 156.
[0055] In one specific embodiment, see further. Figure 2 The electrical control box mounting port 112 has an opening that connects to the top of the windproof upright plate 110. The radiator bracket 130 of the electrical control box 120 can be inserted into the electrical control box mounting port 112 through the opening at the top of the windproof upright plate 110, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the electrical control box 120. At the same time, it is convenient to lock the radiator bracket 130 to other positions on the top of the windproof upright plate 110, thereby improving the stability of the electrical control box 120.
[0056] In one specific embodiment, see Figure 2-3 and Figure 7 The radiator bracket 130 includes at least one first latch 131, which is locked to the side of the electrical control box mounting port 112 away from the opening, and the first latch 131 is located on the side of the air-insulating plate 110 away from the compressor cavity 101.
[0057] Preferably, the first latch 131 extends out of the electrical control box mounting opening 112 and extends towards the outdoor unit base plate 210, so that the first latch 131 can prevent the electrical control box 120 from detaching from the air baffle plate 110 towards the compressor cavity 101, thereby improving the connection strength between the radiator bracket 130 and the electrical control box mounting opening 112. Furthermore, during the process of the radiator bracket 130 being inserted into the electrical control box mounting opening 112 from the opening at the top of the air baffle plate 110, the first latch 131 can also engage with the side of the electrical control box mounting opening 112 away from the opening from top to bottom, thus improving the efficiency of fixing the radiator bracket 130.
[0058] In one specific embodiment, the radiator bracket 130 includes, for example, a limiting plate 132 and a side support plate 133. The side support plate 133 cooperates with the electrical control box mounting port 112, surrounds the limiting plate 132, and extends towards the side of the air-insulating plate 110 away from the compressor cavity 101. The limiting plate 132 limits the radiator 230, locking it in place after it is inserted into the radiator bracket 130 in a direction perpendicular to the air-insulating plate 110. The side support plate 133 limits the side of the radiator 230, preventing it from loosening and improving its stability during operation.
[0059] Furthermore, the limiting plate 132 is provided with an air guide 123. After the radiator 230 is installed in the radiator bracket 130, the radiator 230 dissipates heat through the air guide 123.
[0060] Furthermore, the inner wall of the side support plate 133 is provided with a radiator guide 133a. The radiator guide 133a can be provided with a slope or an arc surface to guide the radiator 230, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the radiator 230. The first buckle 131 facing the inner side of the air vent 123 can also be provided with a slope or an arc surface to play a guiding role.
[0061] In one specific embodiment, the electrical control box 120 may further include a crossbeam 160, which is disposed on one side of the radiator bracket 130 and located on the top of the circuit board bracket 150. The crossbeam 160 is used to improve the connection strength between the electrical control box 120 and the windproof upright plate 110.
[0062] Preferably, the electrical control box 120 further includes, for example, at least one second snap 161 and / or at least one fastener connecting plate 162, disposed on the crossbeam 160; the second snap 161 and / or fastener connecting plate 162 are located on the side of the air-insulating upright plate 110 away from the compressor cavity 101, for locking the crossbeam 160 and the mounting plate 111.
[0063] On the one hand, the second buckle 161 extends towards the base plate 210 of the outdoor unit, so that the electrical control box 120 is installed from top to bottom with the windproof upright plate 110. When the radiator bracket 130 is installed in the electrical control box mounting port 112, the second buckle 161 is just locked from top to bottom with the top of the mounting plate 111, preventing the electrical control box 120 from detaching from the windproof upright plate 110 towards the compressor cavity 101.
[0064] On the other hand, the holes on the fastener connecting plate 162 can be aligned with the corresponding holes on the mounting plate 111, thereby further locking the fastener connecting plate 162 and the mounting plate 111 through the fasteners, improving the stability of the electrical control box 120.
[0065] Specifically, at least two second latches 161 can be provided on the crossbeam 160, and the fastener connecting plate 162 is horizontally connected between adjacent second latches 161; the mounting plate 111 is provided with a horizontal connector 111c, which extends away from the compressor cavity 101. When the second latches 161 are locked with the mounting plate 111, the horizontal connector 111c is just sandwiched between adjacent second latches 161 and corresponds to the fastener connecting plate 162, thereby further fixing the fastener connecting plate 162 and the horizontal connector 111c with fasteners such as screws and pins, improving the connection strength between the electrical control box 120 and the mounting plate 111.
[0066] In one specific embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 The air-insulating upright plate 110 may also include, for example, an extension plate 113, which is located on either side of the mounting plate 111; the electrical control box 120 may also include a third latch 163, which is used to lock the electrical control box 120 and the extension plate 113. The third latch 163 is located on the side of the extension plate 113 away from the compressor cavity 101, to prevent the electrical control box 120 from disengaging from the air-insulating upright plate 110 towards the compressor cavity 101.
[0067] Preferably, based on the mounting plate 111 including a first part 111a and a second part 111b, an extension plate 113 is provided, for example, on the side of the second part 111b away from the electrical control box mounting port 112. The air conditioner outdoor unit 200 also includes an outdoor unit side panel, and the extension plate 113 is used to connect the air-insulating vertical panel 110 to the outdoor unit side panel.
[0068] When the electrical control box 120 is installed from top to bottom with the windproof upright plate 110, the third buckle 163 is simultaneously fixed with the extension plate 113; combined with the second buckle 161, both ends of the top of the electrical control box 120 can be fixed, further improving the stability of the electrical control box 120.
[0069] In one specific embodiment, the control box 120 further includes at least one extension fastener 134, with the extension fastener 134 and a third latch 163 located on opposite sides of the extension plate 113. The extension fastener 134 and the third latch 163 clamp one end of the control box 120 to the extension plate 113, preventing the control box 120 from loosening towards or away from the compressor cavity 101. This significantly improves the connection stability between the radiator bracket 130 and the control box mounting port 112.
[0070] Preferably, the extension plate 113 and the second portion 111b of the mounting plate 111 are inclined, and the connection between the extension plate 113 and the second portion 111b of the mounting plate 111 is smoothly transitioned. At least one extension fastener 134 has a shape that matches the shape of the connection, thereby stably abutting against the extension plate 113.
[0071] [Second Embodiment]
[0072] On the other hand, see Figure 9-10 The present invention also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit 200, including the air conditioner outdoor unit electrical control box mounting structure 100 provided in any of the above specific embodiments. The air conditioner outdoor unit 200 also includes a fan 240 and a radiator 230. The fan 240 is located on the side of the windproof plate 110 away from the compressor cavity 101, and the radiator 230 is located on the radiator bracket 130.
[0073] It should be noted that the heat from the electrical control box 120 is transferred from the mounting plate 111 to the radiator 230. When the fan 240 rotates, it can accelerate the airflow at the radiator 230, so that the heat from the radiator 230 can be discharged, improving the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board 220. At the same time, the air pressure near the outlet of the water guide 140 facing the bottom plate 210 of the outdoor unit decreases, which promotes the drainage of water accumulated in the water guide 140.
[0074] [Third Embodiment]
[0075] Furthermore, the present invention provides an air conditioner, including the outdoor unit 200 provided in any of the above specific embodiments. Since the air conditioner adopts the technical solution of the outdoor unit 200 described above, it can at least achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0076] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
