[0035] Figures 1 to 8 The outdoor unit and air conditioner provided by the present invention are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the outdoor unit of the present invention includes an external unit housing 100, an outdoor fan 200 and a shielding device 300. The external unit housing 100 has an air outlet 110; the outdoor fan 200 is located in the external unit housing 100 and is connected to the external unit housing 100; the shielding device 300 is connected to the external unit housing 100, and is used to expose the air outlet 110 when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is higher than a preset value, or, is used to shield the air outlet 110 when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is lower than a preset value.

[0036] In specific implementation, when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is lower than a preset value, the shielding device 300 can shield the air outlet 110, so that when it rains or other weather, rainwater is not easy to enter the outer housing 100 through the air outlet 110, and it is not easy to cause water to enter the outdoor unit, thereby improving the user experience and solving the technical problem of easy water ingress in the outdoor unit in the prior art. In addition, when the outdoor fan 200 is running, the air outlet 110 is exposed, thereby ensuring that the outdoor unit can normally exchange heat with the external air, so that the outdoor unit can work normally.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the air outlet 110 can be located at the upper end of the external housing 100, the air outlet 110 can be circular, the shielding device 300 and the outdoor fan 200 can be arranged in sequence from top to bottom; the outdoor fan 200 can be an axial flow fan or a centrifugal fan, etc.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the shielding device 300 may include a supporting unit 310 and at least one shielding unit 320, the supporting unit 310 is located in the external machine housing 100 and is connected to the external machine housing 100; at least one shielding unit 320 is located at the air outlet 110 and is rotatably connected to the supporting unit 310, the shielding unit 320 is used to rotate by the wind force of the outdoor fan 200 when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is higher than a preset value to expose the air outlet 110, or, is used to reset by its own gravity when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is lower than a preset value to cover the air outlet 110.

[0039] In a specific implementation, the support unit 310 can support the shielding unit 320. When the outdoor fan 200 is started, the outdoor fan 200 (fan blades) will rotate. The rotation of the outdoor fan 200 will discharge the air to the outside of the outer casing 100 through the air outlet 110. Since the shielding unit 320 is located at the air outlet 110, the outdoor fan 200 can provide a wind force to the shielding unit 320. Under the action of the wind force, the shielding unit 320 can rotate. After the shielding unit 320 rotates, the air outlet 110 can be exposed. The exposure of the air outlet 110 ensures that the outdoor unit can normally exchange heat with the external air. As a result, the outdoor unit can function normally. Working; when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is lower than the preset value, for example, when the outdoor fan 200 is turned off, the outdoor fan 200 will stop. When the outdoor fan 200 stops, the shielding unit 320 will rotate in the opposite direction under the action of its own gravity. The shielding unit 320 rotates in the opposite direction to block the air outlet 110. Therefore, when it rains or other weather, rainwater is not easy to enter the external unit housing 100 through the air outlet 110, and it is not easy to cause water to enter the outdoor unit, thereby improving the user experience; the present invention utilizes the wind force of the outdoor fan 200 to drive the shielding unit 320 without the help of other driving structures. Therefore, the structure of the outdoor unit is simple and the cost is low.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the support unit 310 includes a support component 311 and at least one partition component 312; the support component 311 includes a flange 3110 and a support ring 3120; the flange 3110 is sleeved on the end of the support ring 3120 and can abut against the edge of the air outlet 110; the support ring 3120 is arranged vertically and is passed through the outer housing 100 through the flange 3110, and the outer peripheral wall is sealed with the edge of the air outlet 110; the partition component 312 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the support ring 3120, and is used to divide the air outlet 110 into a plurality of setting areas 111 where the shielding unit 320 can be set; the shielding unit 320 is located in the setting area 111, and can be rotatably connected to the partition component 312, and the rotating shaft of the shielding unit 320 is arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0041] During specific implementation, the support ring 3120 is installed in the external housing 100 through the flange 3110, and the flange 3110 abuts against the edge of the air outlet 110, which can improve the stability of the support ring 3120 in the external housing 100; the outer peripheral wall of the support ring 3120 and the edge of the air outlet 110 are sealed together, which can prevent liquids such as rainwater from entering the external housing 100 from the connection between the outer peripheral wall of the support ring 3120 and the edge of the air outlet 110.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the partition assembly 312 is located in the support ring 3120, and is used to divide the air outlet 110 into a plurality of setting areas 111 arranged adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of the support ring 3120; there are a plurality of shielding units 320, and each setting area 111 is provided with a shielding unit 320.

[0043] In a specific implementation, if only one shielding unit 320 is provided, the shielding unit 320 is heavy and it is not easy for the outdoor fan 200 to drive the shielding unit 320 to rotate; by providing a plurality of shielding units 320, the weight thereof can be reduced, and it is convenient for the outdoor fan 200 to quickly drive each shielding unit 320 through wind force, so that the shielding unit 320 rotates to expose the air outlet 110.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of the setting areas 111 may be four, the number of the shielding units 320 may also be four, and the areas of the setting areas 111 may be equal.

[0045] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned structural setting can ensure that each shielding unit 320 can be opened at the same time, the air outlet 110 discharges air evenly, and the heat exchange performance of the outdoor unit will not be affected by the setting of the shielding unit 320, ensuring that the outdoor unit can normally exchange heat with the external air.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the partition assembly 312 may include a support column 3121 and a plurality of partition components 3122; the support column 3121 is arranged vertically and located in the middle position of the support ring 3120; the plurality of partition components 3122 are arranged along the radial extension of the support ring 3120, and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the support ring 3120, and are connected between the inner circumferential wall of the support ring 3120 and the outer circumferential wall of the support column 3121, so as to divide the air outlet 110 into a plurality of setting areas 111 of equal area; the plurality of shielding units 320 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of partition components 3122 and are rotatably connected.

[0047] In a specific implementation, the partition component 3122 is connected between the inner peripheral wall of the support ring 3120 and the outer peripheral wall of the support column 3121, so that the partition component 3122 has two connection points, thereby making the connection strength of the partition component 3122 greater.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet 110 may be circular, and the air outlet 110, the support column 3121, the support ring 3120 and the outdoor fan 200 are coaxially arranged, and the area of ​​the air outlet 110 is equivalent to the cross-sectional area of ​​the outdoor fan 200 (fan).

[0049] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned structural setting can concentrate the wind force of the outdoor fan 200, so that the outdoor fan 200 can quickly drive each shielding unit 320 through the wind force, so that the shielding unit 320 rotates, thereby quickly exposing the air outlet 110.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of shielding units 320 are arranged to form a conical space when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is lower than a preset value. The conical space has a large diameter end and a small diameter end, and the large diameter end and the small diameter end are arranged in an upper and lower interval.

[0051] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned structural arrangement enables liquids such as rainwater to be concentrated in the middle position of the cone-shaped space.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the shielding unit 320 may include a plurality of water-blocking fan rings 321; the plurality of water-blocking fan rings 321 can be rotatably connected between two adjacent partition components 3122, and the plurality of water-blocking fan rings 321 are arranged sequentially along the radial inward direction of the support ring 3120, and the sizes of the plurality of water-blocking fan rings 321 are reduced sequentially, and they are overlapped sequentially when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is lower than a preset value.

[0053] In specific implementation, since there is a certain slope in the radial direction of the support ring 3120, it can prevent rainwater and other liquids from seeping into the interior of the external unit casing 100 from the connection between two adjacent water-retaining fan rings 321 in the radial direction of the support ring 3120 to a certain extent. Therefore, when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is lower than the preset value, rainwater can be concentrated in the middle position of the conical space.

[0054] like Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the water retaining fan ring 321 has a first end and a second end respectively; the first end is provided with a first rotating shaft 3211, and the second end is provided with a first rotating shaft 3212, and the extension line of the first rotating shaft 3211 and the extension line of the second rotating shaft 3212 are collinear; in two adjacent partition parts 3122, the partition part 3122 corresponding to the first end has a blind hole, and the partition part 3122 corresponding to the second end also has a blind hole; the first rotating shaft 3211 and the second rotating shaft 3212 are located in the corresponding blind holes and can be rotatably connected to the hole wall of the blind hole.

[0055] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a first area R1 is provided below the connection between the shielding unit 320 and the partition component 3122; a second area R2 is provided below the connection between the shielding unit 320 and the support column 3121; the outdoor unit also includes a water receiving unit 400; the water receiving unit 400 is arranged in the external unit housing 100 and has a water receiving trough 410, which is located in the first area R1 and the second area R2.

[0056] In specific implementation, while ensuring that rainwater and other liquids can be received by the water receiving groove 410, the volume of the water receiving unit 400 is minimized to reduce the wind loss of the outdoor fan 200 and ensure that the outdoor unit can normally exchange heat with the external air.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the water receiving groove 410 can be in a "cross" shape, the water receiving unit 400 can be connected to the support unit 310, and the water receiving unit 400 has a water outlet 420, which is connected to the water receiving groove 410 and is used to discharge the water in the water receiving groove 410 to the outside of the outer machine housing 100.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outdoor unit of the present invention may also include a condensate drain pipe, one end of which is connected to the water outlet 420, and the other end of which extends to the outside of the external unit casing 100, and the condensate drain pipe is used to discharge the water in the water receiving tank 410 to the outside of the external unit casing 100.

[0059] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the above embodiment, wherein the indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit.

[0060] In specific implementation, when the rotation speed of the outdoor fan 200 is lower than a preset value, the shielding device 300 can shield the air outlet 110, so that when it rains or other weather, rainwater is not easy to enter the outer housing 100 through the air outlet 110, and it is not easy to cause water to enter the outdoor unit, thereby improving the user experience and solving the technical problem of easy water ingress in the outdoor unit in the prior art. In addition, when the outdoor fan 200 is running, the air outlet 110 is exposed, thereby ensuring that the outdoor unit can normally exchange heat with the external air, so that the outdoor unit can work normally.
