[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] The air conditioner outdoor unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a shell, a middle partition plate 2 and an expansion tank assembly 3.

[0035] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the middle partition 2 is arranged in the housing (the housing is not shown) and divides the space in the housing into a fan chamber 11 and a compressor chamber 12. The expansion tank assembly 3 is located in the fan chamber 11 and connected to the middle partition 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, the fan chamber 11 and the compressor chamber 12 are arranged along the left-right direction, and the left-right side refers to the left and right sides of the user when the user is facing (looking from front to back) the air conditioner outdoor unit 10, for example, Figure 1 In the example shown, the fan cavity 11 is located on the left side of the compressor cavity 12 .

[0036] It can be understood that the expansion tank assembly 3 is fixed in the shell by connecting with the middle partition 2. The expansion tank assembly 3 can be used in the air-conditioning system. The expansion tank assembly 3 is used to store liquid and supply liquid to the air-conditioning water system. When the liquid loss pressure in the air-conditioning system decreases, the gas pressure in the expansion tank assembly 3 is greater than the liquid pressure. At this time, the gas expands to squeeze the liquid in the airbag to replenish the air-conditioning system.

[0037] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fan 4 is located in the fan cavity 11, the compressor 5 is located in the compressor cavity 12, and the middle partition 2 separates the fan cavity 11 and the compressor cavity 12, thereby avoiding working interference between the fan 4 and the compressor 5. At the same time, since there are multiple pipelines in the compressor cavity 12 and the expansion tank assembly 3 is located in the fan cavity 11, compared with the expansion tank assembly being located in the compressor cavity, there is more space in the compressor cavity 12 for accommodating pipelines, thereby facilitating the layout of the pipelines.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the upper and lower ends of the expansion tank assembly 3 are connected to the middle partition 2. Therefore, compared with the case where one end of the expansion tank assembly is connected to the middle partition, the reliability and stability of the connection between the expansion tank assembly 3 and the middle partition 2 are improved, so that the swing amplitude of the expansion tank assembly 3 can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 during operation.

[0039] According to the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the middle partition 2 is arranged in the shell and the space in the shell is divided into a fan chamber 11 and a compressor chamber 12. The expansion tank assembly 3 is located in the fan chamber 11 and connected to the middle partition 2, so that there is more space in the compressor chamber 12 for accommodating pipelines, which facilitates the layout of the pipelines. The upper and lower ends of the expansion tank assembly 3 are connected to the middle partition 2, which improves the reliability and stability of the connection between the expansion tank assembly 3 and the middle partition 2, thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the expansion tank assembly 3, thereby reducing the noise of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 during operation.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the middle partition plate 2 is provided with a hanging hole 21, and the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 is provided with a hook 31 that matches the hanging hole 21. Thus, it is convenient to connect the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 with the middle partition plate 2, and the connection reliability between the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 and the middle partition plate 2 is improved, so that the swing amplitude of the expansion tank assembly 3 can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 during operation.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the middle partition plate 2 has a slot 22, the upper end of the slot 22 is open, and the lower end of the expansion tank assembly 3 has a buckle 32 that matches the slot 22. As a result, the lower end of the expansion tank assembly 3 can be easily connected to the middle partition plate 2, and the connection reliability of the lower end of the expansion tank assembly 3 and the middle partition plate 2 is improved, so that the swing amplitude of the expansion tank assembly 3 can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 during operation.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 is connected to the middle partition 2 by a fastener. It can be understood that the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 has a connection hole 33, and the middle partition 2 has an opening 23 corresponding to the connection hole 33, so that the fastener can be inserted into the connection hole 33 and the opening 23, so as to realize the connection between the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 and the middle partition 2, thereby further improving the connection reliability and stability of the expansion tank assembly 3 and the middle partition 2, thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the expansion tank assembly 3, thereby reducing the noise of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 during operation.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there is one fastener. It can be understood that compared with multiple fasteners, one fastener has a simpler structure and improves assembly efficiency. Among them, the connecting hole 33 and the opening 23 are also corresponding to each other.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, in the front-to-back direction of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10, the middle partition 2 includes a first connecting plate 24 and a second connecting plate 25 connected in sequence, the first connecting plate 24 is located in front of the second connecting plate 25, the first connecting plate 24 is a flat plate, and the second connecting plate 25 is an arc-shaped plate with the rear end inclined toward the compressor chamber 12, and the expansion tank assembly 3 is connected to the second connecting plate 25.

[0045] It can be understood that the second connecting plate 25 is an arc-shaped plate with a rear end inclined toward the compressor chamber 12, thereby increasing the space of the wind wheel chamber, increasing the air intake of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10, and improving the operating efficiency of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10. In addition, the wind wheel and the first connecting plate 24 are arranged relative to each other, and the expansion tank assembly 3 is connected to the second connecting plate 25, thereby reducing the installation interference between the wind wheel and the expansion tank assembly 3.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the second connecting plate 25 has a convex bulge 251 on one side facing away from the compressor cavity 12, and the expansion tank assembly 3 is connected to the convex bulge 251. It can be understood that, since the second connecting plate 25 is an arc-shaped plate with its rear end inclined toward the compressor cavity 12, the convex bulge 251 allows the surface of the expansion tank assembly 3 facing away from the compressor cavity 12 to be parallel to the axis of the wind wheel, thereby preventing the surface of the expansion tank assembly 3 facing away from the compressor cavity 12 from blocking the air intake of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10, and also reducing the installation interference between the expansion tank assembly 3 and the housing.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the convex bump 251 facing away from the compressor cavity 12 is flush with the surface of the first connecting plate 24 facing away from the compressor cavity 12. As a result, the contact between the surface of the expansion tank assembly 3 facing the compressor cavity 12 and the surface of the convex bump 251 facing away from the compressor cavity 12 is a planar contact, so that the connection between the expansion tank assembly 3 and the convex bump 251 is more stable and reliable, thereby further improving the connection reliability and stability of the expansion tank assembly 3 and the middle partition plate 2, thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the expansion tank assembly 3, thereby reducing the noise of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 during operation.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the convex bump 251 includes a first convex bump 2511 and a second convex bump 2512 spaced apart in the up-down direction, the first convex bump 2511 is located above the second convex bump 2512, the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 is connected to the first convex bump 2511, and the lower end of the expansion tank assembly 3 is connected to the second convex bump 2512. It can be understood that the first convex bump 2511 and the second convex bump 2512 are spaced apart in the up-down direction, compared with the first convex bump and the second convex bump connected as an integral part in the up-down direction, the corresponding material setting can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10. Among them, the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 is connected to the first convex bump 2511, and the lower end of the expansion tank assembly 3 is connected to the second convex bump 2512. When the upper end of the expansion tank assembly 3 has a hook 31, the first convex bump 2511 is provided with a hanging hole 21, and when the lower end of the expansion tank assembly 3 has a buckle 32, the second convex bump 2512 is provided with a slot 22.
