[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 8The rain cover body 1 includes a top 11, a first side portion 12, a second side portion 13 opposite to the first side portion 12, and a mesh portion 15. The top 11 is provided with a mounting hole 110, which is connected to the inner cavity 10. The first side portion 12 is closer to the wall 100 than the second side portion 13. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting hole 110 has a first hole wall 1101 and a second hole wall 1102 . The first hole wall 1101 is opposite to the second hole wall 1102 .

The first hole wall 1101 is close to the first side portion 12 , and the second hole wall 1102 is close to the second side portion 13 .

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The top 11 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane L, which is conducive to drainage. The mesh plate portion 15 is also inclined relative to the horizontal plane L, and the inclination angle of the mesh plate portion 15 is greater than the inclination angle of the top 11. Fig.10 The mesh plate portion 15 has a plurality of mesh holes 150 , and the mesh holes 150 are used for ventilation, which is beneficial to heat dissipation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 .

[0039] See also Figure 1 The photovoltaic rain cover of the air conditioner outdoor unit includes a photovoltaic panel 2 and a rotating mechanism 3. The photovoltaic panel 2 is arranged in the mounting hole 110. The rotating mechanism 3 connects the photovoltaic panel 2 and the rain cover body 1, so that the photovoltaic panel 2 can be opened and closed relative to the rain cover body 1, thereby facilitating maintenance.

[0040] See also Figure 2 The rotating mechanism 3 includes a first hinge 31, a second hinge 32 and a hinge shaft 33. The first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are connected through the hinge shaft 33. The photovoltaic panel 2 is connected to the first hinge 31, and the rain cover body 1 is connected to the second hinge 32, so that the photovoltaic panel 2 can be rotatably connected to the rain cover body 1. When it is necessary to inspect the circuit components connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit and the photovoltaic panel 2, it is only necessary to flip the photovoltaic panel 2. Specifically, the second hinge 32 is connected to the second hole wall 1102.

[0041] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The first hinge 31 includes a first hinge body 311, a first sleeve 312 and a first bending portion 313 connecting the first hinge body 311 and the first sleeve 312, the second hinge 32 includes a second hinge body 321, a second sleeve 322 and a second bending portion 323 connecting the second hinge body 321 and the second sleeve 322, the hinge shaft 33 is passed through the first sleeve 312 and the second sleeve 322, the photovoltaic panel 2 is connected to the first hinge body 311, and the rain cover body 1 is connected to the second hinge body 321. In this embodiment, the first bending portion 313 is bent and extended from the first sleeve 312 in a direction away from the second hinge 32, and the second bending portion 323 is bent and extended from the second sleeve 322 in a direction away from the first hinge 31, so that the first hinge body 311 and the second hinge body 321 are respectively extended outward relative to the hinge axis 33, so that the first hinge body 311 and the second hinge body 321 are convenient for correspondingly connecting the photovoltaic panel 2 and the rain cover body 1; since the distance between the first hinge body 311 and the second hinge body 321 is increased, the distance between the photovoltaic panel 2 and the rain cover body 1 is increased, and the photovoltaic panel 2 is not easy to interfere with the rain cover body 1 during the flipping process, so that the flipping angle of the photovoltaic panel 2 is increased.

[0042] See also Figure 4 The photovoltaic rainproof cover of the air conditioner outdoor unit also includes a pressing block 4 and a locking member 5. The first side portion 12 is connected to a supporting member 14. The two ends of the pressing block 4 respectively press against one end of the photovoltaic panel 2 away from the rotating mechanism 3 and the supporting member 14. The locking member 5 connects the pressing block 4 and the supporting member 14, thereby locking the end of the photovoltaic panel 2 away from the rotating mechanism 3. Figure 4 The diagram shows the cooperation state of the pressing block 4, the locking member 5 and the supporting member 14 along the length direction of the supporting member 14.

[0043] For details, see Figure 5 The locking member 5 includes a head 51, a column 52 and a locking portion 53. The column 52 connects the head 51 and the locking portion 53. The length direction of the locking portion 53 is perpendicular to the length direction of the column 52. The locking portion 53 and the column 52 are in an inverted T shape.

Figure 4 The pressing block 4 includes a first pressing portion 41, a second pressing portion 42 and a connecting portion 43. The connecting portion 43 connects the first pressing portion 41 and the second pressing portion 42. The first pressing portion 41 is used to press the photovoltaic panel 2, and the second pressing portion 42 is used to press the support member 14. Figure 6, the second pressing portion 42 and the support member 14 are both provided with a long hole 420. When locking is required, the locking portion 53 passes through the long hole 420 of the second pressing portion 42 and the long hole 420 of the support member 14 in sequence, and rotates 90° to lock the second pressing portion 42 and the support member 14. At this time, the locking portion 53 and the long hole 420 are arranged in a cross shape, and the length direction of the locking portion 53 is perpendicular to the length direction of the long hole 420; when unlocking is required, the locking portion 53 is controlled to rotate 90° in the opposite direction, so that the length direction of the locking portion 53 is parallel to the length direction of the long hole 420, and the locking portion 53 can be taken out from the long hole 420; in this way, the end of the photovoltaic panel 2 away from the rotating mechanism 3 is detachably connected to the rain cover body 1, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0044] The vertical distance between the top surface of the support member 14 and the top surface of the top 11 is not less than the thickness of the photovoltaic panel 2. That is, after being fixedly installed, the photovoltaic panel 2 does not extend outward from the mounting hole 110. In this embodiment, the top surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 is substantially flush with the top surface of the top 11, so that the photovoltaic panel 2 and the rain cover body 1 form a whole, and the photovoltaic panel 2 does not occupy any additional space.

[0045] See also Figure 8 The photovoltaic rain cover of the air conditioner outdoor unit also includes a crossbeam 6 and an angle code component 7. The crossbeam 6 is connected to the rain cover body 1 through the angle code component 7. The crossbeam 6 is used to support the photovoltaic panel 2, thereby improving the connection stability.

In other words, both ends of the cross beam 6 are clamped between the first angle bracket 71 and the second angle bracket 72, the cross beam 6 is connected to one end of the first angle bracket 71 and one end of the second angle bracket 72 by the bolt 73, and the other end of the first angle bracket 71 and the other end of the second angle bracket 72 are welded to the rain cover body 1.

[0047] The photovoltaic rainproof cover of the air conditioner outdoor unit also includes an energy storage battery, which is used to store the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panel 2.
