DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The above scheme is further described below in conjunction with specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are used to illustrate the present application and are not limited to the scope of the present application. The implementation conditions adopted in the examples can be further adjusted according to the conditions of the specific manufacturer, and the implementation conditions not specified are usually the conditions in conventional experiments.

[0035] Embodiment 1: An air conditioner with an external unit protection structure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, it includes a bracket 1, a protective shell 2, an external unit 101, an air bag 4, an air pipe 5, an air nozzle 6, a baffle 7, a lever 71, a plug 8, a fixing rod 81, a spring 82, a wedge-shaped card plate 83 and a connector 91. The bracket 1 is connected to the protective shell 2 by bolt connection. The top and the rear side of the protective shell 2 are provided with heat dissipation holes. The external unit 101 is placed in the protective shell 2. The right side of the external unit 101 is provided with a connector 91 for connecting with the indoor unit of the air conditioner. A plurality of air bags 4 for protecting the external unit are arranged around the external unit 101. The plurality of air bags 4 are connected in series through the air pipe 5. The air nozzle 6 is arranged on the air pipe 5. The air nozzle 6 is located on the right side of the external unit 101. A through hole is opened at the lower right side of the protective shell 2. Both the front and rear sides of the through hole are sliding. A baffle 7 for blocking the through hole is connected, and slots are provided on the sides of the two baffles 7 that are close to each other, and the slots are located on the right side of the connecting head 91. A lever 71 is connected to the upper side of the baffle 7 by bolt connection, and a fixing rod 81 is connected to the upper right side of the protective shell 2 by threaded connection. A plug 8 for blocking the air nozzle is movably connected to the fixing rod 81, and a spring 82 is connected between the plug 8 and the right end of the fixing rod 81, and the spring 82 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 81. The front and rear ends of the plug 8 are connected with wedge-shaped clamping plates 83 by welding, and the ends of the two wedge-shaped clamping plates 83 that are close to each other respectively clamp the front and rear levers 71, and the ends of the two wedge-shaped clamping plates 83 that are away from each other are in contact with the protective shell 2.

[0036] When transporting the air-conditioning outdoor unit 101, firstly, the air nozzle 6 is used to inject gas into the airbag 4 through the air pipe 5. After the air in the airbag 4 is full of gas, the air nozzle 6 is used to block the plug 8, so that the gap between the outdoor unit 101 and the protective shell 2 can be filled, and the vibration force generated by the bumps during transportation of the outdoor unit 101 can be buffered, so that the parts in the outdoor unit 101 are not easy to vibrate and fall. The protective shell 2 can prevent the outdoor unit 101 from directly colliding with other objects, thereby forming a double protection for the outdoor unit 101. When installing the air-conditioning outdoor unit 101, the baffles 7 on both sides are opened, and after connecting the air-conditioning indoor unit and the outdoor unit 101 connector 91 through the connecting pipe, the baffles 7 on both sides are closed again to prevent creatures such as mice and birds from entering the protective shell. 2 chews the wires and pipes inside and causes a circuit short circuit. When the airbag 4 swells, it blocks the heat dissipation holes. The heat generated by the air-conditioning outdoor unit 101 during operation cannot be dissipated. Long-term high-temperature operation will easily cause the air-conditioning to fail to cool, and the life of the compressor will be affected due to poor heat dissipation. Therefore, the airbag 4 needs to be deflated. When the baffle 7 is opened, the levers 71 on both sides are moved to the front and rear sides respectively, so that the wedge-shaped card plates 83 on both sides can be lifted and moved to the right. The wedge-shaped card plate 83 moves to the right and drives the plug 8 to move to the right. The spring 82 is compressed, so that the plug 8 can be separated from the air nozzle 6. After the plug 8 is separated from the air nozzle 6, the spring 82 will recover, so that the airbag 4 can be deflated, and then the heat generated by the outdoor unit 101 during operation can be quickly dissipated.

[0037] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a slider 73, a support plate 11, a support rod 111, a sliding rod 12, a wedge block 121 and a support plate 13. The lower sides of the ends of the two baffles 7 that are close to each other are connected to the slider 73 by welding. A sliding groove is opened at the lower left part of the protective shell 2, and two sliding rods 12 are slidably connected in the sliding groove. The sliding rod 12 is located at the bottom of the protective shell 2. The two sliding rods 12 are respectively in contact with the sides of the front and rear sliders 73 that are away from each other. The middle of the bottom of the two sliding rods 12 is symmetrically connected with a wedge block 121 by welding. Support plates 13 for supporting the external machine 101 are provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the protective shell 2. The support plate 13 is located on the lower side of the bottom of the external machine 101. The two ends of the bottom left of the support plate 13 are connected with support rods 111 by welding. The support rod 111 runs through the bottom of the protective shell 2. The support plate 11 is connected between the bottom ends of the support rods 111 at the left and right ends, and the support plate 11 is in contact with the wedge block 121.

[0038] When the baffles 7 on both sides are opened, the baffles 7 on both sides drive the sliders 73 on both sides to move, and the movement of the sliders 73 on both sides can drive the sliding rods 12 on both sides to move forward and backward respectively, and the sliding rods 12 drive the wedge blocks 121 to move, and the wedge blocks 121 squeeze the support plate 11 to make the support rods 111 and the support plate 13 move upward, and the support plate 13 moves upward to support the external unit 101 to move upward, so that the bottom of the external unit 101 and the bottom of the protective shell 2 can be gradually separated to form a gap, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation effect.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, magnets 10 are also included. Magnets 10 are installed all around the bottom of the protective shell 2. Magnets 10 are also installed on the left and right ends of the two sliding rods 12 and on the side away from each other. When the sliding rods 12 on both sides move to the front and back sides of the bottom of the protective shell 2 respectively, the wedge block 121 props up the support plate 11, and the magnets 10 of the protective shell 2 and the magnets 10 on the sliding rods 12 are attracted to each other, which can prevent the wedge block 121 and the sliding rods 12 from sliding, so that the support plate 11 can be firmly supported in place and is not easy to loosen.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, it also includes an arc-shaped clamping ring 9, and the baffles 7 on the front and rear sides are respectively connected with the arc-shaped clamping ring 9. When the connecting head 91 is connected to the connecting pipe and the baffles 7 on both sides are closed again, the connecting pipe is clamped in the arc-shaped clamping ring 9, and then the upper and lower arc-shaped clamping rings 9 are fixed by bolts to prevent the connecting pipe from falling off from the connecting head 91 after being pulled.

[0041] like Fig.11 As shown, a fan 14 and a mounting frame 16 are also included. The top of the protective shell 2 is connected to the mounting frame 16 by bolts, and the mounting frame 16 is connected to the fan 14 by bolts. When the external unit 101 runs for a long time, the external unit 101 is prone to generate high temperature. The fan 14 blows air into the protective shell 2 to accelerate the dissipation of heat generated by the external unit 101, thereby achieving a cooling effect and extending the life of the compressor.

[0042] like Fig.10 As shown, a protective plate 15 is also included. The protective plate 15 is made of acrylic insulation material. The top of the mounting frame 16 is connected to the protective plate 15 by bolts. Since the external unit 101 is usually installed outdoors, the fan 14 is also exposed to wind and rain for a long time. The anti-skid plate can protect the fan 14 to prevent the fan 14 from being exposed to rain and sun for a long time and causing the line to age quickly, thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, a filter 3 is also included. An air outlet is opened on the front side of the protective shell 2, and the filter 3 is installed on the air outlet. The filter 3 can block dust and debris outside the protective shell 2, so that the external unit 101 is kept clean and avoids excessive dust and debris affecting the cooling effect.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, a handle 72 is also included. The sides of the baffles 7 on the front and rear sides that are away from each other are connected with the handle 72 by welding. The baffles 7 can be opened easily by the handle 72.

[0045] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for a person skilled in the art, several modifications, improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent shall be subject to the attached claims.
