DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0054] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, Figure 1 , 2 An outdoor unit 100 of an air conditioner in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The outdoor unit 100 includes a casing 2, a fan 3 and a reactor box 1.

[0055] The housing 2 may be a thin shell structure. The housing 2 is provided with a main air inlet 21 and a main air outlet 22 , and the housing 2 is provided with a main air duct 23 , which extends from the main air inlet 21 to the main air outlet 22 .

[0056] The fan 3 is disposed in the main air duct 23 of the housing 2. The fan 3 can drive air to flow from the main air inlet 21 to the main air outlet 22. The fan 3 can be an axial flow fan 3.

[0057] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the reactor box 1 includes a box body 10 and a plurality of reactors 14. An inner cavity 120, a first air inlet 111 and a first air outlet 112 are provided in the box body 10. The first air inlet 111 and the first air outlet 112 are both connected to the inner cavity 120. The first air inlet 111 can deliver air to the inner cavity 120, and the first air outlet 112 can discharge the air input into the inner cavity 120 from the first air inlet 111. The number of reactors 14 is greater than or equal to 2, and the number of reactors 14 can be 3. The reactor 14 generates heat and the temperature rises when working. The plurality of reactors 14 are all arranged in the inner cavity 120. The reactor 14 can be arranged in the middle area of ​​the inner cavity 120. The plurality of reactors 14 can be connected to the same wall surface of the inner cavity 120, and there is a gap between the reactor 14 and other wall surfaces of the inner cavity 120.

[0058] The reactor box 1 is arranged in the main air duct 23 of the casing 2. The reactor box 1 can be arranged upstream of the fan 3 or downstream of the fan 3. When the fan 3 is running, the air pressure at the first air inlet 111 of the reactor box 1 is greater than the air pressure at the first air outlet 112. The wind field at various locations in the main air duct 23 can be pre-calibrated, and the reactor box 1 is placed in a suitable position in the wind field so that the air pressure at the first air inlet 111 of the reactor box 1 is configured to be greater than the air pressure at the first air outlet 112.

[0059] In this way, air can enter the inner cavity 120 of the box body 10 from the first air inlet 111 of the box body 10, and flow through the inner cavity 120 and then exit the box body 10 from the first air outlet 112. Multiple reactors 14 are arranged in the inner cavity 120, and the air can take away the heat emitted by the reactor 14 when flowing through the surface of the reactor 14, thereby cooling the reactor 14. Compared with the existing technical solution of arranging multiple reactors in different protection boxes respectively, arranging multiple reactors in one box body 10 can reduce the volume occupied by the installation, reduce the total weight, improve the assembly efficiency, and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0060] For example, the screws required to fix one reactor box 1 are much less than the screws required to fix three protection boxes, and the manufacturing process of the reactor box 1 in the present application can be reduced. For another example, the total length of the welds on the three protection boxes is longer than the total length of the welds on one reactor box 1, and the solder and welding time required to manufacture the reactor box 1 in the present application are much shorter.

[0061] In an illustrative embodiment, Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the box body 10 includes an inner shell 12 and an outer shell 11. Both the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 11 can be constructed as a roughly box-shaped structure. Both the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 11 can be constructed as a roughly rectangular box. An inner cavity 120 is provided in the inner shell 12. A first air inlet 121 and a first air outlet 122 are provided on the wall surface of the inner cavity 120. The first air inlet 121 and the first air outlet 122 can be constructed as through holes, and the first air inlet 121 and the first air outlet 122 both pass through the inner shell 12. The first air inlet 121 can be constructed as a rectangular through hole. The first air outlet 122 can be constructed as a circular through hole. A plurality of reactors 14 are all arranged in the inner cavity 120 of the inner shell 12, and the plurality of reactors 14 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner cavity 120. The reactor 14 and the side wall of the inner cavity 120 can be connected by screws.

[0062] A cavity 110 is provided in the outer shell 11, and the cavity 110 may be a right hexahedron-shaped cavity 110. The outer shell 11 is sleeved on the inner shell 12, and the inner shell 12 is at least partially contained in the outer shell 11. The first air inlet 121 and the first air outlet 122 of the inner shell 12 are both located in the outer shell 11. The outer shell 11 is provided with a first air inlet 111 and a first air outlet 112, and the first air inlet 111 and the first air outlet 112 are through holes penetrating the outer shell 11. An air duct is formed between the inner surface of the outer shell 11 and the outer surface of the inner shell 12, and a part of the air duct connects the first air inlet 111 of the outer shell 11 and the first air inlet 121 of the inner shell 12, and a part of the air duct connects the first air outlet 112 of the outer shell 11 and the first air outlet 122 of the inner shell 12.

[0063] In this way, the air entering the box body 10 from the first air inlet 111 can flow through the first air inlet 121, the inner cavity 120, and the first air outlet 122 in sequence, and finally flow out of the box body 10 from the first air outlet 112, thereby taking away the heat emitted by the reactor 14. At the same time, since the reactor 14 is arranged in the inner shell 12, and the inner shell 12 is arranged in the outer shell 11, the protection level of the box body 10 to the reactor 14 can be improved.

[0064] In an illustrative embodiment, a first air duct 101 is formed between the side wall of the outer shell 11 and the side wall of the inner shell 12. The side walls of the inner shell 12 on opposite sides in the thickness direction respectively abut against the side walls of the outer shell 11 on opposite sides in the thickness direction. The side walls of the outer shell 11 in the width direction and the side walls of the inner shell 12 in the width direction are spaced apart from each other, so that the first air duct 101 is formed on one side of the inner shell 12 in the width direction. The first air duct 101 extends in the vertical direction. In the outer shell 11, the first air duct 101 extends from the top end of the outer shell 11 to the bottom end of the outer shell 11.

[0065] The first air inlet 121 is disposed on a side wall of the inner shell 12 adjacent to the first air duct 101, and the first air inlet 121 is connected to the first air duct 101. The first air inlet 121 may be disposed at an upper position of the side wall.

[0066] The first air inlet 111 is disposed on a side wall of the outer shell 11 adjacent to the first air duct 101, and the first air inlet 111 is connected to the first air duct 101. The first air inlet 111 may be disposed at a lower position of the side wall. The first air inlet 111 may be disposed on a side of the first air duct 101 facing away from the inner shell 12.

[0067] The first air inlet 111 on the outer shell 11 is located at a lower position than the first air inlet 121 on the inner shell 12 .

[0068] In this way, after the airflow enters the first air duct 101 from the first air inlet 111, it flows upward along the first air duct 101 to reach the first air inlet 121, and then enters the inner cavity 120 from the first air inlet 121. If water droplets splashing outside the box body 10 enter the first air duct 101 from the first air inlet 111, it is difficult for the water droplets to enter the first air inlet 111 from the first air duct 101 because the first air inlet 121 is higher than the first air inlet 111, thereby preventing water from entering the inner cavity 120 to cause leakage or short circuit of the reactor 14, thereby improving the waterproof effect of the box body 10.

[0069] In an illustrative embodiment, a second air duct 102 is also formed between the side wall of the outer shell 11 and the side wall of the inner shell 12. The side wall of the outer shell 11 in the width direction and the side wall of the inner shell 12 in the width direction are spaced apart from each other, so that the second air duct 102 is formed on the side of the inner shell 12 facing away from the first air duct 101. The first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102 are respectively located on opposite sides of the inner shell 12 in the width direction. The second air duct 102 extends in the vertical direction. In the outer shell 11, the second air duct 102 extends from the top end of the outer shell 11 to the bottom end of the outer shell 11. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first air duct 101 may be smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second air duct 102. For example, the width of the first air duct 101 is 5 mm, and the width of the second air duct 102 is 10 mm.

[0070] The inner shell 12 is also provided with a second air inlet 123. The second air inlet 123 is provided on the side wall of the inner shell 12 adjacent to the second air duct 102, and the second air inlet 123 is connected to the second air duct 102. The second air inlet 123 may be provided at an upper position of the side wall.

[0071] The outer shell 11 is also provided with a second air inlet 113. The second air inlet 113 is provided on the side wall of the outer shell 11 adjacent to the second air duct 102, and the second air inlet 113 is connected to the second air duct 102. The second air inlet 113 can be provided at a lower position of the side wall. The second air inlet 113 can be provided on a side of the second air duct 102 facing away from the inner shell 12.

[0072] The second air inlet 113 on the outer shell 11 is located at a lower position than the second air inlet 123 on the inner shell 12 .

[0073] When the fan 3 is started, the air pressure at the second air inlet 113 is higher than the air pressure at the first air outlet 112. After the airflow enters the second air duct 102 from the second air inlet 113, it flows upward along the second air duct 102 to reach the second air inlet 123, and then enters the inner cavity 120 from the second air inlet 123, and then exits the box body 10 through the first air outlet 122 and the first air outlet 112 in sequence, thereby increasing the flow rate of the airflow flowing through the inner cavity 120 and achieving a better cooling effect. If water droplets splashing outside the box body 10 enter the second air duct 102 from the second air inlet 113, since the second air inlet 123 is higher than the second air inlet 113, it is difficult for water droplets to enter the second air inlet 113 from the second air duct 102, thereby preventing water from entering the inner cavity 120 and causing the reactor 14 to leak or short-circuit, thereby improving the waterproof effect of the box body 10.

[0074] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 8 , 9As shown, the first air inlet 111 on the housing 11 is configured as a louvered air outlet. The first air inlet 111 is configured as a downward straight strip opening, the first air inlet 111 extends in the horizontal direction, and a first water shielding shed 1111 is disposed above the first air inlet 111. The first water shielding shed 1111 can prevent water dripping downward from above the first air inlet 111 from entering the first air inlet 111, further improving the waterproof effect of the box body 10.

[0075] The second air inlet 113 on the housing 11 is configured as a louvered air outlet. The second air inlet 113 is configured as a downward straight strip opening, the second air inlet 113 extends in the horizontal direction, and a second water shielding shed 1131 is provided above the second air inlet 113. The second water shielding shed 1131 can prevent water dripping downward from above the second air inlet 113 from entering the second air inlet 113, further improving the waterproof effect of the box body 10.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of first air inlets 111 and a plurality of second air inlets 113 are provided. The plurality of first air inlets 111 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, and a first water shielding shed 1111 is provided above each first air inlet 111. The plurality of second air inlets 113 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, and a second water shielding shed 1131 is provided above each second air inlet 113.

[0077] The plurality of first air inlets 111 and the plurality of second air inlets 113 are provided to increase the air volume of the box body 10 and further improve the cooling effect on the reactor 14 .

[0078] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the box body 10 also includes a first water baffle 15 and a second water baffle 16. The first water baffle 15 and the second water baffle 16 are both arranged outside the shell 11. One end of the first water baffle 15 and the second water baffle 16 are both connected to the side wall of the shell 11. The first water baffle 15, the second water baffle 16 and the shell 11 can be screwed, welded or riveted. The first water baffle 15 extends from one side of the first air inlet 111 in the direction away from the second air inlet 113. The second water baffle 16 extends from one side of the second air inlet 113 in the direction away from the first air inlet 111. The first water baffle 15 and the second water baffle 16 are respectively arranged on the same side of the first air inlet 111 and the second air inlet 113. The first water baffle 15 can prevent water drops from splashing into the first air inlet 111 from the side of the first air inlet 111 close to the first water baffle 15. The second water baffle plate 16 can prevent water drops from splashing into the second air inlet 113 from a side of the second air inlet 113 close to the second water baffle plate 16 .

[0079] In an illustrative embodiment, the first water baffle 15 and the second water baffle 16 are respectively disposed on one side of the first air inlet 111 and the second air inlet 113 close to the main air outlet 22 of the casing 2 .

[0080] Since the main air outlet 22 of the casing 2 is usually set to be larger, on rainy days, rainwater can easily float into the casing 2 from the main air outlet 22 of the casing 2. By setting the first water baffle 15 on the side of the first air inlet 111 close to the main air outlet 22 of the casing 2, the rainwater can be prevented from entering the box body 10 from the first air inlet 111. Similarly, by setting the second water baffle 16 on the side of the second air inlet 113 close to the main air outlet 22 of the casing 2, the rainwater can be prevented from entering the box body 10 from the second air inlet 113.

[0081] In an illustrative embodiment, one end of the first water baffle 15 facing away from the housing 11 is inclined toward the first air inlet 111 .

[0082] In this way, the airflow in the main air duct 23 of the casing 2 flows from the first air inlet 111 to the first water baffle 15 , and the inclined first water baffle 15 can guide the airflow to the first air inlet 111 , thereby further improving the cooling effect on the reactor 14 .

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the bottom wall of the inner shell 12 is located at the bottom end of the side wall of the inner shell 12 and can be configured as a horizontal flat plate. The first air outlet 122 is disposed on the bottom wall of the inner shell 12 and penetrates the bottom wall of the inner shell 12 .

[0084] The first air outlet 112 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 11 . The housing 11 may not be provided with a bottom wall, and the first air outlet 112 is located at the bottom end of the side wall of the housing 11 .

[0085] In this way, the air input into the inner cavity 120 can be output from the box body 10 downward through the first air outlet 122 and the first air outlet 112 in sequence. At the same time, the first air outlet 122 and the first air outlet 112 are located below the inner cavity 120, which can prevent external water from entering the inner cavity 120 of the box body 10 from the first air outlet 112 and the first air outlet 122.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, the inner shell 12 is provided with a plurality of first air outlets 122, and the plurality of first air outlets 122 may be arranged in a matrix on the bottom wall of the inner shell 12. The diameter of the first air outlet 122 is less than or equal to 5 mm. The number of the first air outlets 122 may be 84.

[0087] The smaller first air outlet 122 can prevent foreign objects (such as insects or small animals) from entering the inner cavity 120 of the inner shell 12 through the first air outlet 122 .

[0088] In an illustrative embodiment, the top of the inner shell 12 is provided with a second air outlet 124, the inner shell 12 may not be provided with a top wall, and the second air outlet 124 is provided at the top of the side wall of the inner shell 12. The top wall of the outer shell 11 covers the second air outlet 124. The top wall of the outer shell 11 is provided with a third air outlet 114, and the third air outlet 114 is connected to the second air outlet 124.

[0089] The reactor box 1 also includes a top cover 13. The top cover 13 can be formed by bending and welding a sheet metal. The top cover 13 can be constructed as a straight strip-shaped cover. The opening of the top cover 13 faces downward. The top cover 13 is arranged above the outer shell 11 and covers the top of the outer shell 11. The top cover 13 covers the outer shell 11. The width of the top cover 13 is greater than the width of the outer shell 11, so that the opposite ends of the top cover 13 in the width direction of the outer shell 11 respectively exceed the opposite ends of the outer shell 11 in its width direction to form a second air outlet 131 and a third air outlet 132 respectively below the opposite ends of the top cover 13.

[0090] The airflow in the inner cavity 120 can enter the top cover 13 through the second air outlet 124 of the inner shell 12 and the third air outlet 114 of the outer shell 11 in sequence, and then exit the inner cavity 120 from the second air outlet 131 and the third air outlet 132 of the top cover 13, respectively, thereby increasing the airflow through the inner cavity 120 and further increasing the cooling effect on the reactor 14. At the same time, the top cover 13 can prevent rainwater from falling from the top of the top cover 13 into the third air outlet 114, thereby improving the waterproof effect.

The second opening 116 may be provided on the side of the outer shell 11 facing away from the fan 3. The first opening 125 and the second opening 116 may be rectangular openings.

[0092] The box body 10 further includes a back plate 17. The back plate 17 may be a rectangular flat plate. The back plate 17 is connected to the outer shell 11, and the back plate 17 and the outer shell 11 may be detachably connected, such as screwed. The back plate 17 covers the first opening 125 on the inner shell 12 and the second opening 116 on the outer shell 11.

[0093] In this way, after the back plate 17 is removed, the reactor 14 in the inner cavity 120 can be directly viewed, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the reactor 14 .
