[0041] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0042] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 The air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model is described. The air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 here can be the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 of a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 of a vertical air conditioner, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 of a ceiling air conditioner, a window air conditioner, etc.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing assembly 10 , an outdoor heat exchanger 20 , a compressor 40 and a fan assembly 30 .

[0044] The shell assembly 10 includes a casing 11 and a partition plate 12, the partition plate 12 is arranged in the casing 11, and the partition plate 12 divides the inner cavity of the casing 11 into a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102, the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102 are arranged in a first direction, the casing 11 has a first air inlet portion 1031 and an air outlet portion 104, the first air inlet portion 1031 and the air outlet portion 104 are relatively arranged in a second direction, and the first air inlet portion 1031 and the air outlet portion 104 are both connected to the first chamber 101.

[0045] For example, the shape of the housing 11 may be a rectangular parallelepiped, and the first direction may be the length direction of the housing 11 (eg Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second direction may be the width direction of the housing 11 (eg, Figure 2 and Figure 3In the front-to-rear direction shown in the figure), the first air inlet 1031 can be arranged on the rear wall of the casing 11 and the air outlet 104 can be arranged on the front wall of the casing 11, or the first air inlet 1031 can be arranged on the front wall of the casing 11 and the air outlet 104 can be arranged on the rear wall of the casing 11.

[0046] Furthermore, the partition plate 12 extends from the front wall of the housing 11 to the rear wall of the housing 11, so that the inner cavity of the housing 11 can be divided into a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102 arranged in the left-right direction. The first chamber 101 can be located on the left side of the second chamber 102, or the first chamber 101 can be located on the left side of the second chamber 102.

[0047] Of course, the shape of the housing 11 may also be other shapes, which can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0048] The outdoor heat exchanger 20 and the fan assembly 30 are both arranged in the first chamber 101. The outdoor heat exchanger 20 includes a first heat exchange portion 21, which is arranged near the first air inlet 1031. The fan assembly 30 includes a wind wheel 31, which can be arranged near the air outlet 104. The first heat exchange portion 21 and the wind wheel 31 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction. The compressor 40 is arranged in the second chamber 102.

[0049] When the air conditioner is working, the compressor 40 compresses the refrigerant, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas flowing out of the compressor 40 flows through the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and combines with the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit to achieve air conditioning. Among them, when the wind wheel 31 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 rotates, the external air of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 forms an airflow under the drive of the wind wheel 31, and enters the casing 11 through the first air inlet 1031, exchanges heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and finally is discharged from the air outlet 104 to the outside of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0050] The rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 extends along the second direction from the air outlet 104 to the first air inlet 1031 towards the direction close to the partition plate 12 .

[0051] For easier understanding, please continue to refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment where the first chamber 101 is located on the left side of the second chamber 102, the first air inlet 1031 is provided on the rear wall of the housing 11, and the air outlet 104 is provided on the front wall of the housing 11, the rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 extends obliquely rightward from front to back.

[0052] Specifically, during the rotation of the wind wheel 31, the air entering the housing 11 from the first air inlet 1031 can flow from one axial end of the wind wheel 31 to the other axial end, and finally be discharged from the air outlet 104. Since the rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 extends from the air outlet 104 to the first air inlet 1031 in the second direction toward the direction close to the partition plate 12, the air entering the housing 11 from the first air inlet 1031 flows from the first air inlet 1031 to the air outlet 104 in the second direction away from the partition plate 12, so that the flow direction of the air near the first air inlet 1031 forms a certain acute angle with the first heat exchange part 21, rather than a right angle, thereby changing the local wind speed and wind field distribution of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, that is, changing the wind speed and wind field distribution of the first heat exchange part 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and strengthening the heat dissipation field in the high temperature area of ​​the first heat exchange part 21.

[0053] According to the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 of the utility model embodiment, by limiting the rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 to extend along the second direction from the air outlet portion 104 to the first air inlet portion 1031 toward the partition plate 12, the air inlet direction of the air flowing into the first heat exchange portion 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 can be changed, so that the flow direction of the air flowing through the first heat exchange portion 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 forms a certain acute angle with the first heat exchange portion 21. On the one hand, the time for the airflow to flow through the first heat exchange portion 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 can be extended, so as to perform long-term heat exchange on the first heat exchange portion 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20.

[0054] On the other hand, the angle area formed by the first heat exchange portion 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 and the partition plate 12 (such as Figure 2 The airflow at the inefficient heat exchange area (indicated by the circular circle in the figure) deviates further from the partition plate 12 than in the related art, reducing the restrictive effect of the partition plate 12 on the airflow, thereby accelerating the wind speed in the angle area, greatly improving the wind speed and wind field in the angle area, and solving the problem of low heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor unit heat exchanger in the related art in the angle area formed with the partition plate 12, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the entire machine.

[0055] In addition, the airflow can also form a certain acute angle with the casing 11 in the outlet direction of the air outlet portion 104, rather than a right angle, thereby reducing the risk of the fan assembly 30 stalling due to the external airflow flowing back into the casing 11 when the wind blows.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the angle β between the rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 and the second direction is 0.1° to 20°. For example, the angle β between the rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 and the second direction can be 0.1°, 1°, 3°, 5°, 10°, 14°, 18°, 20°, etc.

[0057] If the angle β between the rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 and the second direction is too large, the size of the wind wheel 31 in the second direction will increase, thereby increasing the size of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 in the second direction.

[0058] Therefore, in the above technical scheme, by limiting the angle β between the rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 and the second direction to satisfy the above range, on the basis of ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the first heat exchange part 21, the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 in the second direction can be reduced, which is conducive to the structural miniaturization design of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and the air entering the casing 11 from the first air inlet 1031 can flow in the second direction from the first air inlet 1031 to the air outlet 104 in the direction away from the partition plate 12. In this way, the flow direction of the air near the first air inlet 1031 can form a certain acute angle with the first heat exchange part 21, rather than a right angle, thereby changing the local wind speed and wind field distribution of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, that is, changing the wind speed and wind field distribution of the first heat exchange part 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and strengthening the heat dissipation field in the high temperature area of ​​the first heat exchange part 21.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first heat exchange part 21 extends in the first direction, and the distance M between the blade tip 312 closest to the first heat exchange part 21 among the multiple blades 311 of the wind wheel 31 and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending in the first direction is 40 mm to 200 mm. For example, the distance M between the blade tip 312 closest to the first heat exchange part 21 among the multiple blades 311 of the wind wheel 31 and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending in the first direction can be 40 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, 120 mm, 140 mm, 180 mm, 200 mm, etc.

[0060] If the distance M between the blade tip 312 of the multiple blades 311 of the wind wheel 31, which is closest to the first heat exchange part 21, and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending along the first direction is too small, the heat exchange time between the air entering the casing 11 from the first air inlet 1031 and the first heat exchange part 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 will be short, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency of the first heat exchange part 21; if the distance M between the blade tip 312 of the multiple blades 311 of the wind wheel 31, which is closest to the first heat exchange part 21, and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending along the first direction is too large, the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 in the second direction will increase.

[0061] In the above technical solution, by limiting the first heat exchange part 21 to extend along the first direction, the distance M between the blade tip 312 closest to the first heat exchange part 21 among the multiple blades 311 of the wind wheel 31 and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending along the first direction satisfies the above conditions, thereby balancing the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 and the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0062] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the included angle α between the plane 313 where the blade tips 312 of the multiple blades 311 of the wind wheel 31 are located and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending along the first direction is 0.1°~20°. For example, the included angle α between the plane 313 where the blade tips 312 of the multiple blades 311 of the wind wheel 31 are located and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending along the first direction can be 0.1°, 3°, 5°, 10°, 14°, 18°, 20°, etc.

[0063] If the angle α between the plane 313 on the side of the wind wheel 31 facing the first heat exchange part 21 and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending along the first direction is too large, the size of the wind wheel 31 in the second direction will increase, thereby increasing the size of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 in the second direction.

[0064] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by limiting the angle α between the plane 313 where the blade tips 312 of the multiple blades 311 of the wind wheel 31 are located and the center line of the first heat exchange part 21 extending along the first direction to meet the above range, the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 in the second direction can be reduced on the basis of ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the first heat exchange part 21, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturized structural design of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the casing 11 also has a second air inlet 1032, which is arranged opposite to the partition plate 12 in a first direction. The outdoor heat exchanger 20 also includes a second heat exchange portion 22, which is arranged close to the second air inlet 1032. The second heat exchange portion 22 extends in the second direction from the air outlet 104 to the first air inlet 1031 in a direction close to the partition plate 12.

[0066] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment in which the first chamber 101 is located on the left side of the second chamber 102, the first air inlet portion 1031 is provided on the rear wall of the casing 11, and the air outlet portion 104 is provided on the front wall of the casing 11, the second air inlet portion 1032 is provided on the left side wall of the casing 11, and the left side wall of the casing 11 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the second heat exchange portion 22 extends obliquely to the right from front to back.

[0067] Therefore, by limiting the second heat exchange part 22 to extend in the second direction from the air outlet part 104 to the first air inlet part 1031 toward the direction close to the partition plate 12, on the one hand, the length of the second heat exchange part 22 can be increased, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the second heat exchange part 22, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange efficiency of the second heat exchange part 22; on the other hand, the flow direction of the gas flowing into the second heat exchange part 22 relative to the second heat exchange part 22 can be changed, so that the flow direction of the air flowing through the second heat exchange part 22 forms a certain acute angle with the second heat exchange part 22, thereby extending the time for the airflow to flow through the second heat exchange part 22, and performing long-term heat exchange on the second heat exchange part 22 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20.

[0068] In some embodiments, the angle γ between the center line of the second heat exchange portion 22 extending along the length direction and the second direction is 0.1° to 20°. For example, the angle γ between the center line of the second heat exchange portion 22 extending along the length direction and the second direction can be 0.1°, 3°, 5°, 10°, 12°, 15°, 18°, 20°, etc.

[0069] If the included angle γ between the middle line of the second heat exchange portion 22 extending along the length direction thereof and the second direction is too large, the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 in the first direction will increase.

[0070] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by limiting the angle γ between the center line of the second heat exchange unit 22 extending along its length direction and the second direction to satisfy the above range, on the basis of ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the second heat exchange unit 22, the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 in the first direction can be reduced, which is conducive to the realization of the miniaturized structural design of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0071] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the outdoor heat exchanger 20 also includes a third heat exchange part 23, which is connected between the first heat exchange part 21 and the second heat exchange part 22 at one end close to each other, thereby increasing the heat exchange area between the airflow and the outdoor heat exchanger 20 and further improving the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 20.

[0072] In some embodiments, the partition plate 12 includes a first partition 121 and a second partition 122 , which are arranged in the second direction, and the first partition 121 is located between the wall where the air outlet 104 is located and the second partition 122 .

[0073] Among them, the first partition 121 and the second partition 122 are both in the second direction, extending obliquely from the air outlet 104 to the first air inlet 1031 away from the wind wheel 31, and the angle δ between the first partition 121 and the second direction is smaller than the angle θ between the second partition 122 and the second direction.

[0074] The partition plate 12 can separate the inner cavity of the casing 11 into a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102, so that components such as the outdoor heat exchanger 20, the fan assembly 30, and the compressor 40 can be arranged in partitions, which is beneficial to ensuring the working stability of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0075] In the above technical solution, by setting the partition plate 12 as the above structure, on the one hand, the volume of the first chamber 101 can be increased, thereby increasing the volume of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, which is beneficial to improving the working efficiency of the air conditioner. The volume of the second chamber 102 can also be reduced, and the utilization rate of the internal space of the casing 11 can be improved. On the other hand, the air capacity of the first chamber 101 can be increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the outdoor heat exchanger 20, improving the heat dissipation effect, avoiding overloading of the unit, appropriately reducing power consumption, and improving the energy-saving effect of the air conditioner.

[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the angle δ between the first partition 121 and the second direction is 2°~45°, for example, the angle δ between the first partition 121 and the second direction may be 2°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, etc. And / or, the angle θ between the second partition 122 and the second direction is 10°~90°, for example, the angle θ between the second partition 122 and the second direction may be 10°, 30°, 50°, 70°, 90°, etc.

[0077] If the angle δ between the first partition 121 and the second direction and the angle θ between the second partition 122 and the second direction are too large, the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 in the first direction will increase.

[0078] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by limiting the angle δ between the first partition 121 and the second direction, and the angle θ between the second partition 122 and the second direction to satisfy the above range, on the basis of ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 in the first direction can be reduced, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturized structural design of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0079] In some embodiments, the angle α between the plane 313 on the side of the wind wheel 31 facing the first heat exchange part 21 and the first heat exchange part 21, the angle β between the rotation axis 332 of the wind wheel 31 and the second direction, the angle γ between the center line of the second heat exchange part 22 extending along its length direction and the second direction, and the angle δ between the first partition 121 and the second direction can be set to be equal, so that the outdoor heat exchanger 20, the partition plate 12 and the installation panel 116 are combined to form a parallelogram-like structure, thereby maximizing the comprehensive heat exchange efficiency of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0080] like Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, according to a further embodiment of the utility model, the casing 11 includes a mounting panel 116, the air outlet 104 is arranged on the mounting panel 116, and the motor 33 of the fan assembly 30 is installed on the mounting panel 116, that is, there is no need to separately set a mounting bracket for the motor 33 in the casing 11, but the motor 33 is directly installed on the mounting panel 116 of the casing 11, thereby reducing the number of components of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 and reducing the cost.

[0081] Among them, the installation panel 116 has a wind shield ring 1163, which surrounds the air outlet portion 104 and the outer periphery of the motor 33. The axial direction of the wind shield ring 1163 extends along the second direction from the air outlet portion 104 to the first air inlet portion 1031 towards the direction close to the partition plate 12.

[0082] With such an arrangement, the axial direction of the motor 33 can be tilted relative to the second direction, thereby making the axial direction of the wind wheel 31 tilted relative to the second direction and the protective cover 1165. In this way, the air entering the casing 11 from the first air inlet 1031 flows in the second direction from the first air inlet 1031 to the air outlet 104 in a direction away from the partition plate 12, so that the flow direction of the air near the first air inlet 1031 forms a certain acute angle with the first heat exchange part 21, rather than a right angle, thereby changing the local wind speed and wind field distribution of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, that is, changing the wind speed and wind field distribution of the first heat exchange part 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and strengthening the heat dissipation field in the high temperature area of ​​the first heat exchange part 21.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the axial dimension of the wind shielding ring 1163 gradually decreases in the first direction toward the direction close to the partition plate 12. In other words, the axial dimensions of the wind shielding ring 1163 at different positions on its circumference are not equal.

[0084] Specifically, in an embodiment in which the first chamber 101 is located on the left side of the second chamber 102, the first air inlet 1031 is provided on the rear wall of the casing 11, and the air outlet 104 is provided on the front wall of the casing 11, the axial direction of the wind shield ring 1163 extends obliquely to the right from front to back, and the axial dimension of the wind shield ring 1163 gradually decreases from left to right, and the axial dimension of the leftmost part of the wind shield ring 1163 is greater than the axial dimension of the rightmost part of the wind shield ring 1163.

[0085] In the above technical scheme, the above conditions are met by limiting the axial size of the wind shield ring 1163. The axial direction of the wind shield ring 1163 can be tilted relative to the second direction and the first direction, so that the axial direction of the motor 33 and the wind wheel 31 can be tilted relative to the second direction. In this way, the air entering the casing 11 from the first air inlet 1031 flows in the second direction from the first air inlet 1031 to the air outlet 104 in a direction away from the partition plate 12, so that the flow direction of the air near the first air inlet 1031 forms a certain acute angle with the first heat exchange part 21, rather than a right angle, thereby changing the local wind speed and wind field distribution of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 and strengthening the heat dissipation field in the high temperature area of ​​the first heat exchange part 21.

[0086] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting panel 116 includes a panel body 1161, a bracket 1162 and a protective cover 1165. The panel body 1161 has a vent 1161a. The wind shield ring 1163 is located inside the panel body 1161 and extends along the circumference of the vent 1161a. The bracket 1162 is disposed at the vent 1161a and is connected to the wind shield ring 1163. The bracket 1162 may be connected to the wind shield ring 1163 only, or the bracket 1162 may be connected to the panel body 1161 and the wind shield ring 1163. The motor 33 is mounted on the bracket 1162. The protective cover 1165 is detachably disposed on the panel body 1161 and covers the vent 1161a. The air outlet 104 is disposed on the protective cover 1165.

[0087] When assembling the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, the motor 33 can be first installed on the bracket 1162, and then the panel body 1161 is connected with other components of the housing 11, and finally the protective cover 1165 is installed on the panel body 1161. Of course, the panel body 1161 can also be connected with other components of the housing 11, and then the motor 33 is installed on the bracket 1162, and finally the protective cover 1165 is installed on the panel body 1161. If the motor 33 needs to be repaired, the protective cover 1165 can be removed first, and then the panel body 1161 or the motor 33 can be removed to repair the motor 33. Therefore, by setting the mounting panel 116 into the above structure, the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the motor 33 are convenient.

[0088] In addition, a wind shield ring 1163 and a bracket 1162 are arranged on the inner side of the panel body 1161. The bracket 1162 can be used to support and fix the motor 33. The wind shield ring 1163 is arranged on the periphery of the bracket 1162 to increase the structural strength of the bracket 1162, thereby improving the installation reliability and stability of the motor 33.

[0089] The panel body 1161, the bracket 1162 and the wind shield ring 1163 are integrally formed. The integrally formed structure can not only improve the structural strength of the mounting panel 116, thereby improving the anti-deformation ability of the mounting panel 116, but also reduce the number of components and the assembly steps of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, thereby improving the production efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0090] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan assembly 30 further includes an air guide ring 32 , which surrounds the outer circumference of the wind wheel 31 , and the air guide ring 32 is integrally connected to the plurality of blades 311 of the wind wheel 31 .

[0091] Therefore, by setting the air guide ring 32, on the one hand, the guide effect can be achieved, so that the air in the casing 11 can flow toward the air outlet 104 under the action of the wind wheel 31 and the guidance of the air guide ring 32, thereby increasing the air flow rate in the casing 11 and improving the heat exchange efficiency. On the other hand, the air guide ring 32 can connect multiple blades 311 together, improve the structural strength of the blades 311, and reduce the problem of deformation of the blades 311.

[0092] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wind shielding ring 1163 is sleeved on the outside of the wind guiding ring 32 , and a gap 320 is formed between the wind shielding ring 1163 and the wind guiding ring 32 .

[0093] The air guide ring 32 and the wind shielding ring 1163 can cooperate with each other so that when the wind wheel 31 is rotating, external air enters the casing 11 from the first air inlet 1031, passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and flows toward the air outlet 104 under the action of the wind wheel 31. The air guide ring 32 and the wind shielding ring 1163 can gather the airflow to the air outlet 104, reduce the return air flowing to the wind wheel 31, and thereby reduce the impact of the return air on the wind wheel 31.

[0094] In addition, there is a gap 320 between the wind shield ring 1163 and the air guide ring 32, so that when the wind wheel 31 rotates relative to the installation panel 116, the air guide ring 32 can avoid collision with the wind shield ring 1163 of the installation panel 116, thereby avoiding collision between the wind wheel 31 and the installation panel 116.

[0100] The outdoor heat exchanger 20 includes a first heat exchange part 21, a second heat exchange part 22 and a third heat exchange part 23.

[0101] The fan assembly 30 includes a motor 33, a wind wheel 31 and an air guide ring 32. The motor 33 is installed on the bracket 1162, so that the motor shaft 331 of the motor 33 extends from front to back and tilted to the right. The wind wheel 31 is connected to the motor shaft 331 of the motor 33.

On the other hand, the airflow at the angle area formed by the first heat exchange part 21 of the outdoor heat exchanger 20 and the partition plate 12 is more deviated from the partition plate 12 than the solution of the related art, which reduces the restrictive effect of the partition plate 12 on the airflow, thereby accelerating the wind speed in the angle area, greatly improving the wind speed and wind field in the angle area, and solving the problem of low heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor unit heat exchanger in the angle area formed with the partition plate 12 in the related art, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the whole machine, and also making the airflow form a certain acute angle with the casing 11 in the outlet direction of the air outlet part 104, rather than a right angle, thereby reducing the risk of stalling of the fan assembly 30 caused by the external airflow flowing back into the casing 11 when the wind blows.
