The fan 20 is installed in the heat exchange cavity 11, and the control module 30 is installed in the mounting cavity 12. The connecting shell 40 is arranged above the main shell 10 and encloses a connecting cavity 43. The oxygen production module 50 is arranged in the connecting cavity 43. The oxygen production module 50 comprises a first part and a second part which are detachably connected. One of the first part and the second part is an oxygen production part 51, and the other is an air compressor part 52. The first part is arranged directly above the heat exchange cavity 11, and the second part is arranged directly above the mounting cavity 12. The connecting shell 40 comprises a first plate 41 and a second plate 42 which are detachably connected. At least part of the first plate 41 is arranged directly above the heat exchange cavity 11, and at least part of the second plate 42 is arranged directly above the mounting cavity 12 and covers at least part of the second part.

When connected, the first and second side panels 411 and 421 surround the periphery of the main housing 10, and the top panel 422 rests on top of the first and second side panels 411 and 421. This structural arrangement optimizes the structure of the first and second panels 411 and 42, facilitates disassembly, and ensures integrity, stability, and safety during installation. This results in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the air conditioner outdoor unit during installation, while also ensuring the stability and safety of the oxygen generator module 50 and preventing damage from external impact or vibration.

This structural arrangement not only simplifies the assembly process of the air conditioner outdoor unit and reduces production costs, but also facilitates subsequent maintenance and upgrades. Users can choose whether to install the oxygen generator module 50 according to their needs, or easily replace and upgrade it when needed, greatly improving product flexibility and user satisfaction.

When the first side plate 411 and the second side plate 421 are connected, the end of the first connecting plate 4111 away from the second connecting plate 4112 is connected to the end of the third connecting plate 4211 away from the fourth connecting plate 4212, and the end of the second connecting plate 4112 away from the first connecting plate 4111 is connected to the end of the fourth connecting plate 4212 away from the third connecting plate 4211. This structural arrangement facilitates user disassembly and assembly, ensures efficient use of the internal space of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and ensures a reasonable layout between the oxygen production module 50 and other key components, thereby preventing space limitations from affecting the overall performance of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the operating efficiency of the oxygen production module 50.

The design of this handle assembly 60 not only facilitates user transportation and installation, but also protects the wiring of the control module 30 and oxygen production module 50 from external factors, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Furthermore, it facilitates wiring adjustments when the handle assembly 60 is disassembled. In practical applications, this design can adapt to a variety of installation environments. Whether wall-mounted or floor-mounted, it ensures the normal operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the effective operation of the oxygen production module 50, providing users with a healthier and more comfortable air environment.

[0079] Specifically, the first component is the oxygen production component 51, and the second component is the air compressor component 52; and / or, the first component is detachably connected to at least one of the main housing 10 and the connecting housing 40; and / or, the second component is detachably connected to at least one of the main housing 10 and the connecting housing 40. This design makes the maintenance and replacement of the oxygen production module 50 extremely simple. Without complex tools and professional skills, the first and second components of the oxygen production module 50 can be disassembled and separated, and the control module 30 can be inspected and repaired, greatly improving the safety and efficiency of high-altitude operations. At the same time, by placing the oxygen production component 51 and the air compressor component 52 above the heat exchange chamber 11 and the installation chamber 12, respectively, and utilizing the natural structure of the air conditioner outdoor unit for heat dissipation and noise control, the normal operation of the oxygen production module 50 is ensured, energy consumption and noise pollution are reduced, and a more comfortable and healthy use environment is provided for users.

In practical applications, this design can adapt to a variety of installation environments, whether wall-mounted or floor-mounted, ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner and the effective operation of the oxygen production module 50, providing users with a healthier and more comfortable air environment.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first support base 511 is provided with a heat dissipation through-hole 5112 extending through the wall thickness of the first support base 511, so that heat from the oxygen adsorption tower component 512 can enter the heat exchange chamber 11 through the heat dissipation through-hole 5112 under the negative pressure of the fan 20. This design utilizes the negative pressure of the fan 20 of the air conditioner outdoor unit to guide the airflow for heat dissipation, avoiding the problem of reduced efficiency or even damage to the oxygen adsorption tower component 512 due to high temperature, while also reducing energy consumption and noise pollution, providing users with a more comfortable and healthy use environment.

This design not only ensures the stability and safety of the air compressor component 52, but also utilizes the natural structure of the air conditioner outdoor unit for heat dissipation and noise control, ensuring the normal operation of the oxygen generator module 50, reducing energy consumption and noise pollution, and providing a more comfortable and healthy user environment. In practical applications, this design can adapt to a variety of installation environments, whether wall-mounted or floor-mounted, ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the effective operation of the oxygen generator module 50, providing a healthier and more comfortable air environment for users.

[0086] Specifically, the oxygen production component 51 includes a first support base 511 and an oxygen production adsorption tower component 512 supported on the first support base 511, the air compressor component 52 includes a second support base 521 and an air compressor 522 supported on the second support base 521, the second support base 521 is detachably arranged on the first support base 511, and the gap between the oxygen production adsorption tower component 512 and the air compressor 522 is L, L>90mm; and / or, the height of the connecting shell 40 is h, h≤113mm; and / or the sum of the heights of the main shell 10 and the connecting shell 40 is h 总 , h 总≤668mm. This design not only ensures compatibility and stability between the oxygen production module 50 and the air conditioner, but also fully utilizes space resources, preventing space limitations from impacting the overall performance of the air conditioner and the efficiency of the oxygen production module 50. In practical applications, this design can adapt to a variety of installation environments. Whether wall-mounted or floor-mounted, it ensures the normal operation of the air conditioner and the effective operation of the oxygen production module 50, providing users with a healthier and more comfortable air environment. Furthermore, by designing the gap between the oxygen adsorption tower component 512 and the air compressor to be greater than 90mm, direct contact between the two is effectively avoided, reducing heat transfer and vibration interference, and further improving the stability and reliability of the oxygen production module 50. The height of the connecting housing 40 is limited to 113mm, and the combined height of the main housing 10 and the connecting housing 40 does not exceed 668mm. This ensures that the overall dimensions of the air conditioner are within a reasonable range, facilitating installation and transportation, while also avoiding issues with the air conditioner's stability that could be affected by excessive height. This design fully considers various factors in practical applications, providing users with a healthier and more comfortable air environment, while also reducing energy consumption and noise pollution, and improving the overall performance and user experience of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0087] The oxygen production module 50 is located above the air conditioner's outdoor unit, reducing the overall height to no more than 668mm, 113mm higher than a conventional outdoor unit. This allows for installation in most split-type and floor-standing air conditioners.

[0088] The oxygen production module 50 is divided into two major components, namely the oxygen production component 51 (also known as the oxygen production tower component) and the air compressor component 52. Taking into account the mass and movement characteristics of the two components, the oxygen production tower component is placed on the upper side of the fan chamber 20 (also known as the heat exchange chamber 11) of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the air compressor component 52 is placed on the upper side of the partition plate 70 in the air conditioner outdoor unit, thereby improving the overall structural reliability.

[0089] By optimizing the assembly sequence and fixing structure of the oxygen tower components and the air compressor components 52 and cooperating with the handle assembly 60, the air compressor components 52 can be quickly disassembled, exposing the control module 30 (also known as the controller) of the air conditioner outdoor unit, which is convenient for high-altitude operation and maintenance.

[0090] No additional fan or other heat dissipation structure is added, and the oxygen production module 50 is cooled only by the fan 20 provided by the air conditioner outdoor unit and the heat dissipation channel.

[0091] A soundproof cover 5121 is designed on the upper side of the oxygen production tower component to reduce abnormal noise caused by switching during the oxygen production process and form a sealed cavity. At the same time, the negative pressure area generated by the fan 20 and the positive pressure conditions generated by the nitrogen exhaust in the sealed cavity are used to achieve heat dissipation of the oxygen production tower and avoid abnormal operation problems caused by excessive temperature.

[0092] The air conditioner outdoor unit in this embodiment has not only the conventional air conditioning cooling and heating functions, but also an oxygen production function.

[0093] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air-conditioning outdoor unit of this embodiment mainly includes a top plate 422, a conventional air-conditioning outdoor unit (excluding the top plate 422 and the right handle), a handle assembly 60, a front side panel (first side panel 411), a rear side panel assembly (second side panel 421), an oxygen adsorption tower component 512, a support base, an air compressor component 52 and other components, as well as related connecting hoses and other auxiliary materials.

[0094] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner outdoor unit of this patent invention places key oxygen-generating components on the upper side of a conventional air conditioner outdoor unit, with a height increase of no more than 113mm. Aside from the larger handle assembly 60 and the addition of related drive and signal lines to the controller, all other structures and materials (including the top plate 422 and the lower air conditioner outdoor unit materials) remain unchanged. This effectively improves compatibility and reduces the development cost of oxygen-generating air conditioners.

[0095] like Figure 3 As shown, the air-conditioning outdoor unit of the present application adds a connecting shell 40 to the shell of a conventional air-conditioning outdoor unit, thereby making the overall size smaller. The air-conditioning outdoor unit in the present application is smaller than the shell of the oxygen-generating air-conditioning outdoor unit in the prior art.

[0096] like Figure 7 As shown, after removing the top plate 422 of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the oxygen adsorption tower component 512 and the air compressor component 52 can be seen between the front side plate and the rear side plate. The oxygen adsorption tower component 512 is located on the left and the air compressor 522 is located on the right.

[0097] Specifically, the oxygen adsorption tower component 512 includes a sound insulation cover 5121, a sound insulation member, an oxygen adsorption tower 5122, a tower base 5123, a supporting rib 5124, a capacitor assembly 5125, an electrical box component 5126 and a nitrogen exhaust silencer 5128. The tower base 5123 is provided with a ventilation hole 5127 for communicating with the heat dissipation through-hole 5112. The sound insulation cover 5121 and the tower base 5123 form a sound insulation cavity. The oxygen adsorption tower 5122 and the nitrogen exhaust silencer 5128 are both installed on the tower base 5123 and located in the sound insulation cavity. The supporting rib 5124 is connected to the tower base 5123. The supporting rib 5124 is located on the side of the tower base 5123 close to the heat dissipation plate 5114 and protrudes from the tower base 5123. It is arranged on one side close to the heat sink 5114, and the supporting rib 5124 is arranged in contact with the heat sink 5114, so that the heat sink 5114 and the side of the tower base 5123 close to the heat sink 5114 are spaced apart to form a heat dissipation gap, and the heat dissipation through-hole 5112 is connected with the ventilation hole 5127 through the heat dissipation gap, so that under the action of the positive pressure generated by the oxygen adsorption tower 5122 in the space of the sound insulation cavity that is as closed as possible, the gas in the sound insulation cavity flows out to the negative pressure formed by the rotation of the fan 20, thereby facilitating the flow of airflow to take away the heat in the sound insulation cavity, reducing the situation where the heat dissipation is slow due to the closed sound insulation cavity. In addition, the noise in the relatively closed sound insulation cavity can also be effectively reduced by the nitrogen exhaust silencer 5128. The capacitor assembly 5125 and the electrical box assembly are both arranged outside the sound insulation cavity and on the tower base 5123. This can avoid the situation where excessive heat in the sound insulation cavity is caused by installing both the capacitor assembly 5125 and the electrical box assembly in the sound insulation cavity, and can ensure effective heat dissipation of the electrical box assembly and the capacitor assembly 5125.

[0098] Among them, the layout mainly considers the weight and operating characteristics of the two major components. Figure 8 As shown: the oxygen adsorption tower 5122 with small mass and stable operation is located on the upper side of the chamber for installing the fan of the conventional air conditioner outdoor unit. Figure 4 As shown, a first support base 511 with insect-proof heat dissipation holes is used to fix the conventional air conditioner outdoor unit housing and is located in the middle right position, close to the center of mass. It is directly supported by the motor 21. At the same time, the negative pressure in the fan 20 cavity is used to dissipate heat from the internal space of the oxygen production tower component through the heat dissipation holes in the base of the oxygen production adsorption tower 5122. The nitrogen exhaust silencer 5128 of the oxygen production adsorption tower 5122 component is located inside the soundproof cover 5121 of the oxygen production adsorption tower 5122. The nitrogen generated during the oxygen production process forms a slightly positive pressure in this space. It further passes through the heat dissipation holes in the base of the oxygen production adsorption tower 5122, and the superposition effect with the negative pressure area of ​​the air conditioner outdoor unit is enhanced to dissipate heat from the oxygen production adsorption tower 5122.

[0099] Specifically, air compressor 522, which is heavy and produces high vibration during operation, is partially attached to the conventional air conditioner's outdoor unit's partition plate 70, while another portion is positioned above the compressor chamber. The oxygen tower component on the left is secured with two screws, while the center left area is supported by the air conditioner's partition plate 70. The right side and rear panel assembly are also secured with screws. This ensures a well-defined overall securement of the components, providing good support for air compressor 522 during operation.

[0100] In addition, a clearance greater than 90 mm is designed between the end face of the electrical box component 5126 of the oxygen adsorption tower component 512 and the end face of the air compressor 522 of the air compressor component 52 to facilitate piping.

[0101] like Figures 5 to 10 As shown, the schematic diagram of the assembly process of the oxygen-generating air-conditioning outdoor unit, excluding the steps of connecting the pipes and routing the wires, the installation order of other major components is: conventional air-conditioning outdoor unit (excluding the top plate 422 and the right handle) - the first support base 511 - the oxygen-generating adsorption tower component 512 (where the pipes need to be routed first and then the sound insulation cover 5121 is installed) - the rear side panel assembly - the air compressor component 52 - the front side panel - the top plate 422 - the handle assembly 60.

[0102] Specifically, the air compressor component 52 is designed with a handle, and after-sales maintenance can be removed in sequence - the right handle assembly 60 - the top plate 422, and then the air compressor 522 assembly is exposed. After removing the two screws that fix the left end of the air compressor 522 assembly to the oxygen tower component, and the right side and the rear side panel assembly with screws, the component can be removed as a whole, revealing the conventional air-conditioning control module 30 component on the lower side for maintenance. This is more convenient than other existing solutions, and the weight and volume of the parts that need to be handled are smaller, which reduces the burden of high-altitude operations.

[0103] The above specific implementation methods elaborate on the design scheme of the air-conditioning outdoor unit of the present application. In actual application, this design can adapt to various installation environments. Whether it is hung on the wall or placed on the ground, it can ensure the normal operation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit and the effective operation of the oxygen production module 50, providing users with a healthier and more comfortable air environment. At the same time, it also reduces energy consumption and noise pollution, and improves the overall performance of the air-conditioning outdoor unit and user experience.

[0104] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects: The following technical problems are solved: The height dimension of the installation site space of the air conditioner outdoor unit is limited, generally not more than the height dimension of a 3P cabinet machine (the height dimension of a 3P cabinet machine is generally concentrated in 1.6m-2m); the assembly production efficiency and operation convenience of the outdoor unit; the high-altitude operation convenience when the main PCB board of the air conditioner outdoor unit is maintained; the heat dissipation and noise reduction processing of the oxygen generation module. The oxygen generation module and the power module related to the air conditioner oxygen generation are placed on the outdoor unit side, through reasonable layout, without changing the structure of the outdoor unit, the height dimension of the whole machine is not more than 113mm, meeting the installation of most split and upright cabinet air conditioners. Through optimization of components and pre-assembly processing, the production efficiency and operation convenience of the outdoor unit are improved; through the detachable structure design, combined with the handle assembly and parts, the local parts are quickly disassembled, which is convenient for high-altitude maintenance of each key controller part; through the optimization of the heat dissipation channel and the local sealing cover combined with the nitrogen pressure discharge design, the air compressor and the oxygen generation tower are respectively heat dissipated, and through the optimization of the air compressor vibration reduction structure, the operation noise and temperature rise of the oxygen generation part meet the design standard.
