Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air conditioner outdoor units, in particular to a high-strength air conditioner outdoor unit casing. Background Art

[0002] At present, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner mainly realizes heat exchange by compressing the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas through a compressor.

[0003] Generally, high-power air conditioner outdoor units on the market will generate some noise after long-term use. The cause of the noise is usually between the lower end of the upper shell of the air conditioner and the upper end of the shell. As the air compressor continues to work, the upper end of the shell continues to vibrate, and the gap between the upper shell and the shell continues to increase, thus generating a large noise, which brings certain inconvenience to users. Summary of the invention

[0008] The utility model is further configured that corresponding threaded holes are provided on the buckled edge and the plug-in vertical plate.

[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: the shell includes a bottom plate, a front plate, a right side plate and a support column, the bottoms of the front plate, the right side plate and the support column are fixed to the upper end surface of the bottom plate by means of bolts, the front plate includes a fan blade plate, the right side of the fan blade plate is connected to the air compressor baffle by snapping, the right side plate is a folding plate, and the folding corner is the corner position of the shell.

[0011] The utility model is further configured that a middle partition is fixed between the partition and the right side plate.

[0012] The utility model is further configured that a plurality of transverse reinforcing ribs protruding forward are formed below the air compressor baffle, and a plurality of longitudinal reinforcing ribs are formed on the rear side of the right side plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following outstanding and beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. The air conditioner outer unit casing provided by the utility model, when the upper cover is arranged on the upper part of the casing, the buckle edge formed on the edge of the upper cover, using its "U"-shaped buckle edge at the bottom, firmly fits the side wall of the plug-in horizontal plate, so that even if the casing continues to vibrate during operation, a small gap is still maintained to reduce noise generation; in addition, the plug-in horizontal plate formed can enhance the overall weight of the plug-in vertical plate, so that it is not easy to vibrate when it is buckled, and the buffer gap formed can effectively prevent the plug-in horizontal plate from contacting with the upper cover to reduce noise generation.

[0016] 2. The utility model further forms a corner notch on the plug-in vertical plate, which can provide a buffering notch during the vibration of the upper end of the shell, and also facilitates the installation of the plug-in vertical plate in the buckle edge to achieve a certain interference fit.

[0017] 3. The threaded holes further provided by the utility model can make the buckle edge and the plug-in vertical plate fit more tightly, thus preventing vibration and reducing noise.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 — Figure 3 :

[0026] A high-strength air-conditioner outer shell comprises a shell 1 with an upper opening, the upper end cover of the shell 1 is provided with an upper cover 2, the upper edge of the shell 1 extends upward to form a plug-in vertical plate 10, the top of the plug-in vertical plate 10 is bent inward to form a horizontal plug-in horizontal plate 11, the outer edge of the upper cover 2 extends downward to form a buckle edge 20, the lower end of the buckle edge 20 is bent to form a "U"-shaped buckle edge 21, when the upper cover 2 is arranged on the top of the shell 1, the inner side edge of the buckle edge 21 is abutted against the outer side wall of the plug-in vertical plate 10, and a buffer gap 12 is formed between the upper end surface of the plug-in horizontal plate 11 and the lower end surface of the upper cover 2.

[0027] In the above structure, the housing 1 is covered with the upper cover 2 after assembly. After the upper cover 2 is covered, the plug-in riser 10 is inserted into the buckle edge 20, wherein the "U"-shaped buckle edge is a double-layer structure, and the buckle edge is not easy to deform, so that when the housing vibrates, the buckle edge always tightly wraps the plug-in riser, effectively reducing the looseness between the upper cover and the housing caused by vibration, greatly improving the structural strength, and also reducing the generation of noise.

[0028] Furthermore, a buffer gap is formed between the plug-in horizontal plate 11 and the lower end surface of the upper cover, so that the vibrating shell will not touch the lower end of the upper cover, thereby reducing the generation of noise.

[0029] Preferably, a plurality of corner notches 100 are formed on the plug-in riser 10 , and the corner notches 100 correspond to the corner positions of the housing 1 .

[0030] In the above structure, since the buckle edge of the outer edge of the upper cover is tightly fitted with the plug-in vertical plate 10, deformation is likely to occur at the corner during the tight fitting process. The corner notch 100 provided will not deform during the interference fit, thereby ensuring that the outer wall of the plug-in vertical plate can normally and tightly abut against the inner side of the buckle edge.

[0031] Preferably, corresponding threaded holes 200 are formed on the buckle edge 20 and the plug-in riser 10 .

[0032] Usually, after the buckle edge is buckled and installed with the plug-in vertical plate, bolts are passed through the threaded holes 200 to further enhance the connection strength between the upper cover and the shell.

[0033] Preferably, the shell 1 includes a bottom plate 13, a front plate 14, a right side plate 15 and a support column 16, the bottoms of the front plate 14, the right side plate 15 and the support column 16 are fixed to the upper end surface of the bottom plate 13 by means of bolts, the front plate 14 includes a fan blade plate 140, the right side of the fan blade plate 140 is connected to the air compressor baffle 141 by snapping, and the right side plate 15 is a folding plate, and the folding corner is the corner position of the shell 1.

[0034] In the above structure, the support column 16 is at the left rear, and this part of the shell is used to install the heat dissipation fins. The right side plate is bent to a certain extent, and the rear side of the right side plate is bent backward to become a part of the rear side. The various panel structures composed of the shell are relatively simple to install and are fixed with bolts.

[0035] Preferably, a partition plate 17 is fixed on the inner wall of the right end of the fan blade plate 140 , one side of the partition plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the right side plate 15 , and the partition plate 17 , the air compressor baffle 141 and the right side plate 15 form a compartment 150 .

[0036] During the implementation process, the middle part of the partition 17 has a certain bend to facilitate the installation of the air compressor and the fan blades.

[0037] Preferably, a middle partition 18 is fixed between the partition 17 and the right side plate 15. The middle partition has a shorter longitudinal length and is mainly used for the installation of pipelines to facilitate the various parts not to affect each other.

[0038] Preferably, a plurality of transverse reinforcing ribs 142 protruding forward are formed below the air compressor baffle 141 , and a plurality of longitudinal reinforcing ribs 151 are formed on the rear side of the right side plate 15 .

[0039] In the above structure, the transverse reinforcing ribs play a role in reducing the amplitude of the position where the air compressor is located, while the longitudinal reinforcing ribs 151 provide stronger longitudinal support strength for the vertically long right side plate, making it more durable.

[0040] Preferably, a plug-in arc-shaped plate 110 is formed between the top of the plug-in vertical plate 10 and the plug-in horizontal plate 11, and the plug-in vertical plate 10, the plug-in arc-shaped plate 110 and the plug-in horizontal plate 11 are integrally formed.

[0041] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
