[0030] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the term "top" is based on the attached Figure 2 The orientation or position relationship shown and the orientation terms in the specification are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0031] The present application embodiment provides an air conditioner outdoor unit. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner outdoor unit includes a motor bracket 20, a partition 30 and an electric control box assembly 10.

[0032] The air conditioner outdoor unit has a housing 40 , and the motor bracket 20 , the partition plate 30 and the electric control box assembly 10 are all arranged inside the housing 40 , and the partition plate 30 is arranged on one side of the motor bracket 20 .

[0033] Specifically, the partition 30 divides the space in the housing 40 into a fan chamber and a compressor chamber. A wind wheel is disposed in the fan chamber. The motor bracket 20 is located in the fan chamber for installing a motor for driving the wind wheel to rotate.

[0034] The electric control box assembly 10 includes an electric control box body 13 and a fixing plate 12 disposed on one side of the electric control box body 13. The electric control box body 13 is used to accommodate a main board assembly 14 of the electric control box assembly 10. The fixing plate 12 is used to be fastened to the motor bracket 20 by fasteners such as screws. The fixing plate 12 can be connected to the electric control box body 13 by welding or the like, or can be integrally formed with the electric control box body 13.

[0035] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the electric control box body 13 can be open, and the mainboard assembly 14 can be arranged at the open position.

[0036] See also Figure 1 A detachable top cover 41 may be provided on the top of the housing 40 . After removing the top cover 41 , the mainboard assembly 14 may be exposed, so that the mainboard assembly 14 may be inspected and repaired.

[0037] Please continue reading Figures 2 to 4 The motor bracket 20 has a first hanging portion 22b, the fixing plate 12 has a second hanging portion 122, the electric control box body 13 abuts against the top of the partition 30, and the second hanging portion 122 is hung and matched with the first hanging portion 22b.

[0038] The structural form of the first hanging part 22b and the second hanging part 122 is not limited. For example, Figure 3 The first hanging part 22b is a buckle hole, and the second hanging part 122 is a hook, which extends into the buckle hole. The hook abuts against the side wall of the motor bracket 20 located around the buckle hole to achieve the hanging cooperation between the first hanging part 22b and the second hanging part 122.

[0039] In other embodiments, the first hanging portion 22b may be a hook, and the second hanging portion 122 may be a button hole.

[0040] An embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, which includes the air conditioner outdoor unit provided by any embodiment of the present application.

[0041] In the related art, the electric control box is generally fastened to the motor bracket 20 by fasteners such as screws. However, when the number of electrical components on the side of the electric control box away from the motor bracket 20 is large, the weight of the side of the electric control box away from the motor bracket 20 is large, resulting in an imbalance, making it difficult to position and assemble the side of the electric control box close to the motor bracket 20 with the motor bracket 20.

[0042] The air conditioner outdoor unit of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first hanging portion 22b on the motor bracket 20, and a second hanging portion 122 is provided on the fixing plate 12 of the electric control box assembly 10. When assembling the electric control box assembly 10, the electric control box body 13 of the electric control box assembly 10 is placed against the top of the partition 30, and the second hanging portion 122 on the fixing plate 12 is hooked and matched with the first hanging portion 22b on the motor bracket 20. Through the hooking and matching of the second hanging portion 122 and the first hanging portion 22b, the fixing plate 12 can be pre-positioned, thereby better preventing the electric control box assembly 10 from being unbalanced due to the heavy weight on the side away from the motor bracket 20, thereby affecting the assembly of the fixing plate 12, and thus facilitating the assembly of the electric control box assembly 10.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The motor bracket 20 includes a vertical plate 21 and a horizontal plate 22 arranged on the top of the vertical plate 21. The first hanging portion 22b can be arranged on the horizontal plate 22. One side of the electric control box assembly 10 is hung and matched with the first hanging portion 22b on the horizontal plate 22 through the second hanging portion 122 on the fixed plate 12, and the bottom of the electric control box assembly 10 is supported and abutted by the partition 30 to achieve stable installation of the electric control box assembly 10 inside the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The fixing plate 12 includes a mounting portion 121, which can be against the top surface of the horizontal plate 22, and the second hanging portion 122 can be arranged on the mounting portion 121. The mounting portion 121 is against the top surface of the horizontal plate 22, and the contact area between the fixing plate 12 and the motor bracket 20 is further increased, thereby not only improving the overall stability of the electric control box assembly 10, but also improving the stability of the hanging cooperation between the second hanging portion 122 and the first hanging portion 22b.

[0045] For example, see Figure 3 For the fixing plate 12 whose second hanging portion 122 is a hook, the hook can be formed by folding part of the outer edge of the mounting portion 121 away from the electric control box body 13. In this way, there is no need to specially make a hook when manufacturing the fixing plate 12, which simplifies the manufacturing steps and effectively improves the overall production efficiency.

[0046] For example, see Figure 3 The horizontal plate 22 may be provided with a recessed groove 22a, and the first hanging portion 22b is provided on the bottom wall of the recessed groove 22a. When the first hanging portion 22b is engaged with the second hanging portion 122, the mounting portion 121 is located in the recessed groove 22a. The recessed groove 22a may accommodate the mounting portion 121, so that the mounting portion 121 does not protrude from the top surface of the horizontal plate 22 as much as possible.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The electric control box assembly 10 may further be provided with a terminal board 11 , and the terminal board 11 is provided on a side of the electric control box body 13 away from the fixing plate 12 .

[0048] The terminal board 11 is used to set electronic devices, such as wiring sockets for wiring and other components. If the number of electronic devices on the terminal board 11 is large, and the weight of the terminal board 11 and the electronic devices on the terminal board 11 is large, during the assembly process of the electric control box assembly 10, the overall center of gravity of the electric control box assembly 10 will be offset to the side close to the terminal board 11, thereby affecting the overall stability of the electric control box assembly 10. The second hanging part 122 on the fixed plate 12 is hung and matched with the first hanging part 22b on the motor bracket 20, so that the pulling force generated by the first hanging part 22b on the electric control box body 13 and the gravity of the terminal board 11 form a moment balance, so that the electric control box assembly 10 as a whole reaches a good stable state.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The housing 40 is provided with an air outlet 40a, and a first louver 131 can be provided on a side of the electric control box body 13 close to the motor bracket 20, and the opening direction of the first louver 131 is toward the side of the housing 40 where the air outlet 40a is provided.

[0050] Specifically, the motor drives the wind wheel to rotate, so that the airflow passes through the air outlet 40a and is discharged to the outside of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the first louver 131 can heat the inside of the electric control box body 13. In addition, the opening direction of the first louver 131 is toward the direction close to the air outlet 40a, so that the internal air can be fully circulated.

[0051] Also, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A second louver 132 may also be provided on one side of the electric control box body 13 close to the air outlet 40a. The second louver 132 is also used to dissipate heat inside the electric control box body 13. The opening direction of the second louver 132 may be toward the partition 30 to prevent the water flow entering the fan cavity from entering the interior of the electric control box body 13 through the second louver 132 under the action of the wind wheel.

[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The fixing plate 12 includes a shielding portion 123 and a mounting portion 121 provided with a second hanging portion 122. The shielding portion 123 is spaced apart from a side of the electric control box body 13 where the first louver 131 is provided, so that a cavity 12a for avoiding the first louver 131 is formed at the interval. That is to say, the shielding portion 123 can shield the side of the first louver 131 away from the electric control box body 13, thereby ensuring the airflow from the first louver 131 while preventing the water flow close to entering the fan cavity from entering the electric control box body 13 under the action of the wind wheel.

[0053] In one embodiment, the bottom of the electric control box body 13 has a first fastening hole and a positioning portion 133 , the top of the partition 30 has a second fastening hole, and the positioning portion 133 abuts against the partition 30 to connect the first fastening hole with the second fastening hole.

[0054] The first fastening hole and the second fastening hole are used for inserting fasteners such as screws. The number of the first fastening holes and the second fastening holes is not limited, and a one-to-one correspondence is sufficient. When the positioning portion 133 abuts against the partition 30, the first fastening hole is connected to the second fastening hole, and then fasteners such as screws are inserted to complete the connection between the electric control box body 13 and the partition 30.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The air conditioner outdoor unit further includes a radiator 50 installed in the electric control box body 13 , and a notch 13 a for avoiding the radiator 50 is provided on the electric control box body 13 .

[0056] The radiator 50 may be provided with a refrigerant tube 52 and a heat sink 51. The heat sink 51 is located inside the electric control box body 13 and can dissipate heat for the mainboard assembly 14. The refrigerant tube 52 is provided on the heat sink 51 and extends through the notch 13a to the outside of the electric control box body 13. In the overall assembly process, the radiator 50 is generally assembled before the electric control box assembly 10. Therefore, the notch 13a is provided so that the radiator 50 can also be installed into the inside of the electric control box body 13 from the notch 13a.
