Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, for example, to an air conditioning outdoor unit and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, the compressor and chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit are fixed with bolts, and the structure is as follows: the chassis and bolts are spot-welded together to form an assembly, a rubber shock-absorbing pad is placed between the compressor foot and the bolt, the compressor foot is set on the shock-absorbing pad, and finally the compressor foot is fixed to the bolt with a nut to meet the requirements of vibration and noise reduction during the assembly, fixation and use of the compressor.

[0003] During the production process of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, the chassis and bolt assembly are the basic parts. The rubber shock-absorbing pad is put onto the bolt. The compressor is lifted using a lifting arm. After the anchor is aligned with the spot-welded bolts on the chassis, the bolts are passed through the corresponding holes on the anchor. Then, nuts are used to fasten the compressor anchor through the rubber shock-absorbing pad and the bolts to fix the compressor and chassis.

[0004] The compressor has three or four anchors evenly spaced around the circumference, and each anchor needs to be secured to ensure optimal compressor retention. However, in most water-cooled air conditioner outdoor units, the bulky water system reduces the space available for compressor installation and removal after it is secured to the chassis. This is particularly true for the anchors located at the back of the compressor, where the limited access makes it impossible to remove or install bolts. This complicates after-sales installation and creates significant inconvenience.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. The summary is not an extensive review, nor is it intended to identify key / critical elements or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather serves as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0007] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an air-conditioning outdoor unit and an air conditioner to solve the problem of difficulty in installing a first foot located on the back side of a compressor due to limited installation space.

[0008] In some embodiments, the air conditioner outdoor unit includes:

[0009] chassis;

[0010] The compressor has a plurality of feet, and the feet are detachably connected to the chassis;

[0011] The limiting member is detachably connected to the chassis and defines a slot with the chassis;

[0012] The first foot of the compressor is inserted into the slot for fixation.

[0013] In this embodiment, the limiting member and the chassis are installed in advance. After the installation is completed, the compressor is installed and the first foot of the compressor is inserted into the slot. The limiting member limits and fixes the first foot without the need for bolts and nuts, which can effectively solve the problem of installation difficulty caused by limited installation space for the first foot located on the back side of the compressor.

[0014] In some embodiments, the limiter is a concave structure, and the edge of the limiter in contact with the chassis is bent outward to form a folded edge. The folded edge has a mounting hole so that the fastener passes through the mounting hole and connects to the chassis, so that the limiter is fixed on the chassis.

[0015] In this embodiment, the position-limiting member is a concave structure, which is buckled on the chassis and defines a slot with the chassis. In this way, it is convenient to connect the fastener to the chassis through the mounting hole, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the position-limiting member on the chassis.

[0016] In some embodiments, the air conditioner outdoor unit further includes:

[0017] The shock-absorbing block is inserted into the card slot and is detachably connected to the card slot;

[0018] The shock-absorbing sleeve is structured with an accommodating cavity, and the first foot of the compressor is inserted into the accommodating cavity and abuts against the shock-absorbing block.

[0019] This embodiment surrounds the first foot of the compressor by inserting a shock-absorbing block into the slot. On the one hand, it can fill the gap between the first foot and the side wall of the slot, and on the other hand, it can play a buffering and shock-absorbing role for the first foot of the compressor.

[0020] In some embodiments, a shock-absorbing block is disposed around the first foot of the compressor. Thus, the top, bottom, left, right, and ends of the first foot are all within and encapsulated by the shock-absorbing block. The shock-absorbing block is inserted into the slot, thereby reliably and effectively securing the first foot of the compressor and providing a cushioning and shock-absorbing effect.

[0021] In some embodiments, the limiting member is configured with a locking hole, and the outer wall of the shock absorbing block is configured with a boss, which is matched with the locking hole so that the shock absorbing block is fixedly installed in the locking groove of the limiting member.

[0022] When the shock absorbing block is fixedly installed in the slot, the boss of the shock absorbing block is engaged in the hole of the limiting member, so that the shock absorbing block and the limiting member are relatively fixed, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the connection between the two.

[0023] In some embodiments, the air conditioner outdoor unit further includes:

[0024] A nut, provided on the lower surface of the chassis;

[0025] The bolts are passed through the base and chassis of the compressor from top to bottom and are threadedly connected with the nuts.

[0026] When assembling the compressor and chassis, the compressor's feet are moved horizontally along the upper surface of the chassis to the position corresponding to the nuts. Bolts are then threaded through the compressor's feet and chassis from top to bottom, engaging with the nuts to secure the compressor to the chassis. This avoids the inconvenience of hoisting the compressor, improving safety and assembly efficiency.

[0027] In some embodiments, the compressor foot is provided with a through hole, and the air conditioner outdoor unit further comprises:

[0028] A shock-absorbing sleeve is arranged in the through hole of the footing and partially exposed outside the footing;

[0029] When the compressor is installed on the chassis, the two ends of the shock-absorbing sleeve are in conflict with the bolt and the chassis respectively.

[0030] The shock-absorbing sleeve passes through the through hole of the compressor. When the compressor is installed on the chassis, the bolt passes through the shock-absorbing sleeve and is threadedly connected to the nut under the chassis. At this time, the shock-absorbing sleeve separates the bolt and the hole wall of the anchor to avoid direct contact between the two, and serves the purpose of buffering and shock absorption between the bolt and the hole wall of the anchor.

[0031] In some embodiments, a positioning sink is constructed on the upper surface of the chassis, a positioning hole is provided in the positioning sink, and the positioning hole is coaxially arranged with the nut;

[0032] Part of the shock-absorbing sleeve is embedded in the positioning sink, and the shock-absorbing sleeve is coaxially arranged with the positioning hole.

[0033] When the compressor is assembled with the chassis, the positioning sink is used to accommodate the shock-absorbing sleeve to prevent the shock-absorbing sleeve from being displaced, which would make the installation of the compressor difficult.

[0034] In some embodiments, the compressor includes a front portion and a back portion, and a distance from the first foot to the front portion of the compressor is greater than a distance from the first foot to the back portion of the compressor.

[0035] The distance from the first anchor to the front of the compressor is greater than the distance from the first anchor to the back of the compressor. This means that the first anchor is located at or near the back of the compressor. The space behind the compressor is limited, and the installation space for the first anchor located at or near the back of the compressor is narrow. This embodiment uses a limiter to constrain and secure the first anchor without bolts, effectively resolving installation difficulties caused by limited installation space.

[0036] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes: the air conditioner outdoor unit provided in the aforementioned embodiments.

[0037] The air conditioner outdoor unit and air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0038] Install the limiter and chassis in advance. After the installation is completed, install the compressor and insert the first foot of the compressor into the slot. The limiter fixes the first foot without the need for bolts and nuts. This can effectively solve the installation difficulty problem of the first foot located on the back side of the compressor due to limited installation space.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0067] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0068] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0069] At present, the compressor and chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit are fixed with bolts, and the structure is as follows: the chassis and bolts are spot-welded together to form an assembly, a rubber shock-absorbing pad is placed between the compressor foot and the bolt, the compressor foot is set on the shock-absorbing pad, and finally the compressor foot is fixed to the bolt with a nut to meet the requirements of vibration and noise reduction during the assembly, fixation and use of the compressor.

[0070] During the production process of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, the chassis and bolt assembly are the basic parts. The rubber shock-absorbing pad is put onto the bolt. The compressor is lifted using a lifting arm. After the anchor is aligned with the spot-welded bolts on the chassis, the bolts are passed through the corresponding holes on the anchor. Then, nuts are used to fasten the compressor anchor through the rubber shock-absorbing pad and the bolts to fix the compressor and chassis.

[0071] The compressor has three or four anchors evenly spaced around the circumference, and each anchor needs to be secured to ensure optimal compressor retention. However, in most water-cooled air conditioner outdoor units, the bulky water system reduces the space available for compressor installation and removal after it is secured to the chassis. This is particularly true for the anchors located at the back of the compressor, where the limited access makes it virtually impossible to remove or install bolts. This complicates after-sales installation and creates significant inconvenience.

[0072] Combine Figures 1 to 12 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, comprising a chassis 10, a compressor 20, and a stopper 30. The compressor 20 and the stopper 30 are both mounted on the chassis 10 and are detachably connected to the chassis 10. The stopper 30 limits the position of a first foot 2032 of the compressor 20. The first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the stopper 30 without the need for additional fasteners 305 to secure it. This overcomes the problem of limited operating space above the first foot 2032.

[0073] The chassis 10 is not only used to install air conditioning components such as the compressor 20, but can also be used as a water tray, that is, to collect condensed water and discharge it to prevent it from flowing everywhere; the compressor 20 has multiple feet 203, and the feet 203 are detachably connected to the chassis 10; generally, the compressor 20 has three or four feet 203, and the feet 203 of the compressor 20 are connected to the chassis 10 via a bolt 60 nut 50 assembly. The multiple feet 203 of the compressor 20 are evenly distributed around the compressor 20. Inevitably, some feet 203 are located on the front 201 side of the compressor 20, some feet 203 are located on the side of the compressor 20, and some feet 203 are located on the back 202 side of the compressor 20. The limiting member 30 provided in this embodiment preferentially limits and fixes the feet 203 located on the back 202 side of the compressor 20. The limiting member 30 is detachably connected to the chassis 10 and defines a slot 301 with the chassis 10. The limiting member 30 is fixed to the chassis 10 by fasteners 305, such as bolts 60. The limiting member 30 and the chassis 10 can be installed in advance. After the limiting member 30 is installed, the compressor 20 can be installed. This effectively solves the problem of limited installation space and difficult operation of the anchor 203 on the back 202 side of the compressor 20. Among them, the first anchor 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the slot 301 for fixation. The limiting member 30 and the chassis 10 define a slot 301. The anchor 203 on the back 202 side of the compressor 20, i.e., the first anchor 2032, is inserted into the slot 301. The limiting member 30 limits and constrains the first anchor 2032 in the upper, lower, left, right, and rear directions, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the first anchor 2032.

[0074] When using the air-conditioning outdoor unit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the limiting member 30 and the chassis 10 are installed in advance. After the installation is completed, the compressor 20 is installed, and the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the slot 301. The limiting member 30 limits and fixes the first foot 2032 without the need to use bolts 60 and nuts 50. This can effectively solve the installation difficulty caused by the limited installation space of the first foot 2032 located on the back 202 side of the compressor 20.

[0075] Optionally, the stopper 30 is a concave structure, and the edge of the stopper 30 in contact with the chassis 10 is bent outward to form a folded edge 302, and the folded edge 302 is configured with a mounting hole 303, so that the fastener 305 passes through the mounting hole 303 and is connected to the chassis 10, so that the stopper 30 is fixed to the chassis 10. Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0076] The retaining member 30 is a concave structure that is inverted and buckled onto the chassis 10, defining a slot 301 with the chassis 10. The edge of the retaining member 300 that contacts the chassis 10 is bent outward to form a folded edge 302. A mounting hole 303 is formed in the folded edge 302. This facilitates the insertion of a fastener 305 through the mounting hole 303 to connect with the chassis 10, thereby securing the retaining member 300 to the chassis 10.

[0077] The stopper 30 has at least two symmetrically arranged folded edges 302, each connected to the chassis 10 via fasteners 305 passing through mounting holes 303. The slot 301 defined by the stopper 30 and the chassis 10 has an insertion opening, through which the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the slot 301. The cross-sectional area of ​​the stopper 30 decreases gradually from the insertion opening along the insertion direction of the first foot 2032, i.e., the slot 301 gradually shrinks from the insertion opening to the other end of the stopper 30. This reduces the positioning accuracy of the first foot 2032 when it is inserted into the slot 301, and also serves as a guide for the insertion of the first foot 2032. As the first foot 2032 extends into the slot 301 , the space of the slot 301 gradually decreases until the first foot 2032 abuts against the side wall of the slot 301 , thereby achieving the constraint and fixation of the first foot 2032 .

[0078] Optionally, the air conditioner outdoor unit further includes: a shock absorbing block 40, which is inserted into the card slot 301 and detachably connected to the card slot 301; wherein the shock absorbing block 40 is constructed with a receiving cavity 401, and the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the receiving cavity 401 and abuts against the shock absorbing block 40. Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is surrounded by the shock-absorbing block 40 inserted into the slot 301. On the one hand, it can fill the gap between the first foot 2032 and the side wall of the slot 301, and on the other hand, it can play a buffering and shock-absorbing role for the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20.

[0080] The shock absorbing block 40 is inserted into the card slot 301 and is detachably connected to the card slot 301 , which not only facilitates installation but also facilitates disassembly and assembly when the shock absorbing block 40 is severely worn and needs to be replaced.

[0081] The shape of the shock absorbing block 40 matches the shape of the slot 301 so that the shock absorbing block 40 and the slot 301 can be assembled in place.

[0082] The first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 , the shock absorbing block 40 and the slot 301 are interference-fitted with each other, thereby improving the fixing and shock-absorbing effect of the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 .

[0083] Optionally, the shock absorbing block 40 is arranged around the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 .

[0084] By constructing a accommodating cavity 401 in the shock-absorbing block 40, the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 401. In this way, the upper, lower, left, right and end portions of the first foot 2032 are all in the shock-absorbing block 40 and wrapped by the shock-absorbing block 40. The shock-absorbing block 40 is inserted into the slot 301. In this way, the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 can be reliably and effectively fixed, and can play a role in buffering and shock absorption.

[0085] In addition, the shock-absorbing block 40 can prevent the first foot 2032 from making hard contact with the limiting member 30 , which would cause the anti-corrosion layer on the surface of the first foot 2032 and the limiting member 30 to be damaged and rusted.

[0086] Optionally, the position-limiting member 30 is configured with a locking hole 304, and the outer wall of the shock-absorbing block 40 is configured with a boss 402, which is adapted to the locking hole 304 so that the shock-absorbing block 40 is fixedly installed in the locking groove 301 of the position-limiting member 30. Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0087] When the shock absorbing block 40 is fixedly installed in the slot 301, the boss 402 of the shock absorbing block 40 is engaged in the hole 304 of the limiting member 30, so that the shock absorbing block 40 and the limiting member 30 are relatively fixed, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the connection between the two.

[0088] Optionally, the boss 402 on the outer wall of the shock-absorbing block 40 adopts an inverted design, that is, the size of the end away from the outer wall of the shock-absorbing block 40 is larger than the size of the boss 402 connected to the shock-absorbing block 40. It can be understood that the boss 402 is provided in a mushroom shape on the outer wall of the shock-absorbing block 40. In this way, when the boss 402 is engaged with the retaining hole 304 of the stopper 30, the end of the boss 402 passes through the retaining hole 304 and protrudes from the retaining hole 304. In this way, the end of the boss 402 forms an effective stop, and the boss 402 is released from the retaining hole 304, thereby affecting the connection between the shock-absorbing block 40 and the stopper 30.

[0089] It should be noted that the shock absorbing block 40 and the boss 402 are made of flexible materials, such as rubber, which not only facilitates assembly but also ensures a buffering and shock absorbing effect.

[0090] Optionally, the air conditioner outdoor unit further includes: a nut 50, which is provided on the lower surface of the chassis 10; a bolt 60, which passes through the foot 203 of the compressor 20 and the chassis 10 from top to bottom and is threadedly connected to the nut 50. Figure 7 shown.

[0091] In this embodiment, the nuts 50 are spot-welded on the lower surface of the chassis 10, or the nuts 50 are riveted on the lower surface of the chassis 10. The number and position of the nuts 50 are adapted to the number and position relationship of the feet 203 of the compressor 20. When assembling the compressor 20 and the chassis 10, the feet 203 of the compressor 20 are translated along the upper surface of the chassis 10 to the position corresponding to the nuts 50, and then the bolts 60 pass through the feet 203 of the compressor 20 and the chassis 10 from top to bottom, and are threadedly connected with the nuts 50, thereby fixing the compressor 20 on the chassis 10. In this way, the inconvenience of hoisting the compressor 20 can be avoided, which not only improves safety but also improves assembly efficiency.

[0092] This embodiment uses a top-down installation method of the bolts 60, combined with the limiting fixation of the first foot 2032 on the back 202 side of the compressor 20 by the limiting member 30. For an air-conditioning outdoor unit with a smaller operating space, it more efficiently ensures the convenience of installation and disassembly of the compressor 20, and at the same time gives the first foot 2032 on the back 202 side of the compressor 20 a reliable fixation, making operation more convenient and quick, reducing the time and cost of after-sales maintenance, and effectively reducing the problems of unstable operation of the compressor 20 and noise caused by insufficient verticality between the bolts 60 and the chassis 10 in the ordinary compressor 20 fixing method, and excessive operation vibration causing pipe group breakage and air-conditioning refrigerant leakage.

[0093] Optionally, the foot 203 of the compressor 20 is provided with a through hole 2031, and the air-conditioning outdoor unit further includes: a shock-absorbing sleeve 70, which is provided in the through hole 2031 of the foot 203 and partially exposed to the outside of the foot 203; when the compressor 20 and the chassis 10 are installed, the two ends of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 respectively conflict with the bolt 60 and the chassis 10.

[0094] The shock-absorbing sleeve 70 passes through the through hole 2031 of the compressor 20. When the compressor 20 is installed on the chassis 10, the bolt 60 passes through the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 and is threadedly connected to the nut 50 below the chassis 10. At this time, the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 separates the bolt 60 and the hole wall of the anchor 203 to avoid direct contact between the two, and serves the purpose of buffering and shock absorption between the bolt 60 and the hole wall of the anchor 203.

[0095] The shock-absorbing sleeve 70 is passed through the through hole 2031 of the compressor 20 foot 203 and is partially exposed outside the foot 203. When the compressor 20 and the chassis 10 are installed, the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 is subjected to pressure from the compressor 20 foot 203. The two ends of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 respectively conflict with the bolt 60 and the chassis 10, which not only prevents the foot 203 from directly contacting the chassis 10, the bolt 60 and the foot 203, and prevents the surfaces of the foot 203, chassis 10 and bolt 60 from wear and rust, but also serves the purpose of buffering and shock absorption between the foot 203 and the chassis 10.

[0096] Optionally, the upper surface of the chassis 10 is constructed with a positioning sink 101, and a positioning hole 102 is provided in the positioning sink 101, and the positioning hole 102 is coaxially arranged with the nut 50; wherein, part of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 is embedded in the positioning sink 101, and the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 is coaxially arranged with the positioning hole 102. Figure 5 shown.

[0097] The positioning platform 101 is formed by being recessed inward from the upper surface of the chassis 10 . A positioning hole 102 is provided on the positioning platform 101 . The positioning hole 102 is used to pass the bolt 60 . The positioning hole 102 is coaxially arranged with the nut 50 . After the bolt 60 passes through the positioning hole 102 , it is threadedly connected to the nut 50 .

[0098] When the compressor 20 is assembled with the chassis 10 , the positioning sink 101 is used to accommodate the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 to prevent the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 from being displaced, which would make it difficult to install the compressor 20 .

[0099] Optionally, the positioning platform 101 may be a circular structure or a non-circular structure. In the case of a non-circular structure, the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 is inscribed in the inner wall of the positioning platform 101 to ensure that the positioning platform 101 has a positioning constraint effect on the shock-absorbing sleeve 70.

[0100] When the positioning sink 101 is a circular structure, the outer diameter of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 is equal to the inner diameter of the positioning sink 101 , or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the positioning sink 101 .

[0101] Optionally, the depth of the positioning sink 101 may be 5 to 10 mm.

[0102] The bolt 60 provided in this embodiment includes a threaded section and a non-threaded section, wherein the threaded section is connected to the nut 50, and the non-threaded section is passed through the shock-absorbing sleeve 70. The length H of the non-threaded section is greater than the axial length L of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70. For example, the length H of the non-threaded section of the bolt 60 is 1 to 2 mm longer than the axial length L of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70. In this way, when the compressor 20 is assembled with the chassis 10, the difference between the non-threaded section H of the thread and the axial length L of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 can ensure the tightness of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 and the base 203 of the compressor 20, and can also ensure that during the operation of the compressor 20, the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 can maximize the shock-absorbing effect, smooth the vibration force, and reduce vibration stress and noise. Combined with Figure 7 shown.

[0103] The installation process of the compressor 20: first weld the nut 50 to the lower surface of the chassis 10, and then fix the limiter 30 to the chassis 10 with screws or bolts 60, place the compressor 20 on the chassis 10 and push it to move horizontally, so that the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the slot 301 formed by the limiter 30 to fix it; then use the position of the slot 301 as the axis, tilt the compressor 20 toward the slot 301, and place the shock-absorbing sleeve 70; after completion, place the compressor 20 steadily, install the bolt 60, that is, pass the bolt 60 from top to bottom through the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 in the foot 203 of the compressor 20 and the chassis 10, and then tighten the bolt 60 and the nut 50 through the threaded connection to complete the installation of the compressor 20. Combined Figures 8 to 10 shown.

[0104] When replacing the compressor 20, the bolts 60 installed on the foot 203 located at the front 201 of the compressor 20 are removed. There is no need to lift the compressor 20. The compressor 20 can be directly pulled out horizontally. The first foot 2032 located at the back 202 of the compressor 20 is separated from the limiter 30. At this time, the compressor 20 is completely free from the fixed constraint. The operation is simple and convenient, which greatly reduces the intensity and time of maintenance operations. Figures 10 to 12 shown.

[0105] This embodiment adopts the method of setting the bolts 60 from top to bottom and fixing and constraining the card slot 301, which conveniently and efficiently solves the problems of low fixing accuracy of the compressor 20 in the ordinary air-conditioning outdoor unit, complicated installation or disassembly of the compressor 20, asymmetrical wear of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 causing loud noise from the compressor 20, and even breakage of the pipe group, resulting in leakage of air-conditioning refrigerant.

[0106] Optionally, the compressor 20 includes a front portion 201 and a back portion 202, and the distance from the first foot 2032 to the front portion 201 of the compressor 20 is greater than the distance from the first foot 2032 to the back portion 202 of the compressor 20. Figure 1 shown.

[0107] The front 201 and the back 202 of the compressor 20 are arranged opposite to each other. The front 201 and the back 202 of the compressor 20 can be understood as the side exposed in the front when the enclosure of the air-conditioning outdoor unit corresponding to the compressor 20 is removed, that is, the front 201 of the compressor 20, and the side opposite to the front 201 is the back 202 of the compressor 20.

[0108] The distance between the first anchor 2032 and the front portion 201 of the compressor 20 is greater than the distance between the first anchor 2032 and the back portion 202 of the compressor 20. This means that the first anchor 2032 is located on or near the back portion 202 of the compressor 20. The space on the back portion 202 of the compressor 20 is limited, and the installation space for the first anchor 2032 located on or near the back portion 202 of the compressor 20 is narrow. In this embodiment, the first anchor 2032 is constrained and fixed by the stopper 30 without the need for bolts 60, effectively resolving installation difficulties caused by limited installation space.

[0109] Combine Figures 1 to 12 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, including the outdoor unit provided in the above embodiment. The outdoor unit comprises a chassis 10, a compressor 20 having a plurality of feet 203, the feet 203 being detachably connected to the chassis 10; a retaining member 30 detachably connected to the chassis 10, and defining a slot 301 with the chassis 10; wherein a first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the slot 301 for securing.

[0110] With the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the position limiting member 30 and the chassis 10 are pre-installed. After the installation is complete, the compressor 20 is installed and the first foot 2032 of the compressor 20 is inserted into the slot 301. The position limiting member 30 positions and fixes the first foot 2032 without the need for bolts 60 and nuts 50. This effectively solves the installation difficulty caused by the limited installation space of the first foot 2032 located on the back 202 side of the compressor 20. In addition, the top-down arrangement of the bolts 60 and the fixed constraint of the slot 301 conveniently and efficiently solves the problems of low fixing accuracy of the compressor 20 in ordinary air conditioner outdoor units, complicated installation or disassembly of the compressor 20, asymmetrical wear of the shock-absorbing sleeve 70 resulting in loud noise from the compressor 20, and even pipe group breakage, resulting in air conditioner refrigerant leakage.
