DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The utility model is further described in detail below through specific implementation methods:

[0022] In order to avoid affecting the appearance, the antenna box 1 is generally fixed to the external device by a clip. At the same time, due to the vibration during transportation, the installation reliability of the antenna box 1 is required to be high, and the problem of only using a clip to fix it is not reliable. In order to solve this problem, Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model proposes an antenna box mounting structure for mounting the antenna box 1 on a carrier 2, comprising a boss clip structure 3 and a recessed clip hole structure 4; wherein the boss clip structure 3 is arranged on the antenna box 1; the recessed clip hole structure 4 is arranged on the carrier 2; during assembly, the boss clip structure 3 is snap-fitted with the recessed clip hole structure 4 and is also fixedly connected between the antenna box 1 and the carrier 2 by a locking member 5.

[0023] The antenna box installation structure is mainly composed of a boss clamp structure 3, a recessed clamp hole structure 4 and a locking member 5. After the antenna box 1 is connected to the carrier 2, on the one hand, the boss clamp structure 3 and the recessed clamp hole structure 4 cooperate to clamp and fix them, and on the other hand, the locking member 5 is used to fix the connection between the antenna box 1 and the carrier 2, thereby improving the assembly stability of the antenna box 1; even if it is vibrated during transportation, the antenna box 1 can be securely installed.

[0024] In order to more clearly understand the present solution, the structures of the boss clamp structure 3, the recessed clamp hole structure 4 and the locking member 5 will be further optimized below.

[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, according to another embodiment of the utility model, an antenna box mounting structure is described, wherein a mounting hole 6 is opened on the carrier 2, a curling structure 7 is formed circumferentially along the edge of the mounting hole 6 on the inner side of the carrier 2, and a recessed card hole structure 4 is arranged on the curling structure 7; during assembly, the antenna box 1 partially passes through the mounting hole 6, and the rear boss clip structure 3 is snap-fitted with the recessed card hole structure 4.

[0026] Here, the mounting hole 6 is used to install and position the antenna box 1, and the curling structure 7 is reasonably arranged around the edge of the mounting hole 6, and the curling structure 7 is reasonably arranged for the recessed clamping hole structure 4, so as to cooperate with the boss clamp structure 3 during the assembly process.

[0027] Based on the above scheme:

[0028] The recessed card hole structure 4 includes a card hole 41, and there are multiple card holes 41 that are circumferentially arranged on the curling structure 7; the boss card structure 3 includes a card block 31, and there are multiple card blocks 31 that are circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the antenna box 1; during assembly, the multiple card blocks 31 are correspondingly inserted into the multiple card holes 41 one by one.

[0029] In this embodiment:

[0030] Since the mounting hole 6 is in a runway shape, the curling structure 7 is also in a runway shape, and the number of the clamping holes 41 and the clamping blocks 31 are both four; two clamping holes 41 are provided on each long side of the curling structure 7 to ensure stable clamping and fixing between the antenna box 1 and the carrier 2.

[0031] In order to facilitate the quick insertion and fixing of the card block 31 into the corresponding card hole 41, a guiding slope is formed on each card block 31 to gradually increase the cross section of one end of the card block 31 toward the other end; during assembly, the end of the card block 31 with a smaller cross section slides into the corresponding card hole 41 first.

[0032] Because the curling structure 7 and the block 31 can undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation, one end of the antenna box 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 6, and then the end with a smaller cross-section of each block 31 first slides into the corresponding hole 41, until each block 31 slides into the corresponding hole 41 and is fixed, and then fixedly connected between the antenna box 1 and the carrier 2 by the locking member 5.

[0033] Furthermore, the curling structure 7 has a plurality of turning corners, and the width of the curling structure 7 at each turning corner is smaller than the width at other positions. Since the curling structure 7 is in the shape of a runway, the curling structure 7 has four turning corners, and the width of the curling structure 7 at each turning corner is smaller than the width at other positions. That is, a notch 71 is formed at each turning corner of the curling structure 7 to prevent cracking during the molding process of the curling structure 7 and improve the molding quality of the curling structure 7.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, according to another embodiment of the utility model, an antenna box mounting structure is described, wherein a connecting column 8 is formed on the edge of the antenna box 1, and the edge of the carrier 2 is bent inward to form an inner concave boss 9, and the inner concave boss 9 is provided with a connecting hole 10, and the locking piece 5 passes through the connecting hole 10 and is later connected to the connecting column 8.

[0035] After installation, the connecting column 8 is placed on the inner side of the carrier 2, thereby beautifying the appearance; when the locking member 5 is connected between the carrier 2 and the antenna box 1, the distance between the connection points of the carrier 2 and the antenna box 1 is shortened by arranging the inner concave boss 9 and the connecting column 8, thereby improving the connection stability between the carrier 2 and the antenna box 1, and can also cover the locking member 5 to reduce exposure of the locking member 5; here, the locking member 5 can be a screw, and the connecting column 8 is a screw column, which is threadedly connected to the connecting hole 10 and then threadedly connected to the connecting column 8.

[0036] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 As shown, according to another embodiment of the utility model, an air-conditioning outdoor unit includes an outdoor unit body and an antenna box 1, and also includes the antenna box mounting structure described in any of the above embodiments, and the carrier 2 is a partial structure on the outdoor unit body.

[0037] In this embodiment, the carrier 2 is specifically a front plate of a shell on the external body of the air conditioner, so as to stably install the antenna box 1 on the external body of the air conditioner.

[0038] Based on the above scheme:

[0039] The antenna box 1 includes an antenna box body 11 and an antenna box cover 12; wherein, the antenna box body 11 is open at one end and has a mounting cavity formed therein, and a boss clip structure 3 is arranged on the outer wall of the antenna box body 11; the antenna box cover 12 is snapped into the open end of the antenna box body 11 and the antenna box body 11 is clamped between the antenna box cover 12 and the carrier 2 during assembly, and the locking member 5 is fixedly connected between the antenna box cover 12 and the carrier 2.

[0040] The installation cavity is used as the installation space for the antenna module, and the antenna box body 11 and the antenna box cover 12 cooperate to stably install the antenna module in the installation cavity. Specifically, the four clamping blocks 31 are arranged on the outer wall of the antenna box body 11 to cooperate with the four clamping holes 41. Among them, the locking member 5 is used to fix the antenna box 1 and the carrier 2 on the one hand, and on the other hand, the antenna box cover 12 is stably buckled on the open end of the antenna box body 11 to seal.

[0041] Furthermore, the middle of the antenna box cover 12 is bent toward one side to form a receiving groove, and a connecting ear 13 is formed at the middle of the outer side of the antenna box body 11; after assembly, the open end of the antenna box body 11 is embedded in the receiving groove and the connecting ear 13 is in contact with the edge of the antenna box cover 12. This allows the assembled antenna box body 11 and the antenna box cover 12 to have a larger contact area, thereby improving the assembly stability between the antenna box body 11 and the antenna box cover 12.

[0042] According to another embodiment of the utility model, an air conditioner includes an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit described in the above embodiment connected thereto, so as to have the advantages of the above air conditioner outdoor unit. The air conditioner indoor unit is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
