[0033] The following is a further detailed description of the implementation of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0034] The various specific technical features and embodiments described in the specific implementation methods can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different implementation methods can be formed by combining different specific technical features / embodiments. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features / embodiments in this application are no longer described separately. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] In the related art, the air conditioner outdoor unit includes a body and a support member that are interconnected. The support member is used to support the body and is rigidly connected to the placement surface. During the operation of the outdoor air conditioner, the vibration generated by the body is directly transmitted to the placement surface through the support member, resulting in a large noise.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment of the present application provides an air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, including a body 10, a support member 20, an elastic seat 30 and a fastener 40, the support member 20 is connected to the body 10, the support member 20 includes a connecting portion 21, the elastic seat 30 includes a seat body 31 and an elastic pad 32, the connecting portion 21 is clamped between the seat body 31 and the elastic pad 32, and the fastener 40 passes through the elastic pad 32, the connecting portion 21 and the seat body 31.

[0037] The support member 20 is used to support the body 10. The connection part 21 is clamped between the seat body 31 and the elastic pad 32. The connection part 21 is in flexible contact with the seat body 31, and the seat body 31 is in flexible contact with the placement surface. The support member 20 and the placement surface are separated by the seat body 31. In this way, the vibration transmitted from the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 to the placement surface can be reduced, thereby reducing noise. The elastic seat 30 clamps the support member 20, and the fastener 40 can fix the elastic seat 30 on the placement surface to enhance the connection stability of the support member 20, the elastic seat 30 and the placement surface. The fastener 40 includes but is not limited to bolts, screws, etc.

[0038] The elastic seat 30 may be a structure made of a flexible material. A flexible material refers to a material that can produce elastic deformation such as bendable, foldable, twistable, compressible and / or stretchable. Flexible materials include but are not limited to rubber and / or silicone, etc. For example, the elastic seat 30 may be a rubber member.

[0039] The air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a connecting seat clamped between the seat body 31 and the elastic pad 32. Through the flexible contact between the elastic seat 30 and the placement surface, the vibration transmitted by the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 during the operation process can be mitigated and the noise can be reduced.

[0040] The air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be installed on a storage surface in an outdoor space, and the storage surface includes but is not limited to the ground, for example, it can be a balcony floor, or it can be a cantilevered structure of an exterior wall, etc.

[0041] For some examples, see Figure 4 The connection part 21 is formed with an avoidance hole 21a, and the fastener 40 is inserted into the avoidance hole 21a. The part of the fastener 40 located in the avoidance hole 21a is spaced from the hole wall of the avoidance hole 21a. In this way, the fastener 40 can be prevented from contacting the connection part 21, and the vibration transmitted between the fastener 40 and the support member 20 can be reduced. At the same time, the vibration transmitted to the storage surface through the fastener 40 can also be reduced, thereby improving the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, one end of the elastic pad 32 is connected to the seat body 31, and the other end of the elastic pad 32 is a free end. Figure 3 The free end of the elastic pad 32 is spaced from the seat body 31 to form an escape groove 30a, and the connecting portion 21 is clamped in the escape groove 30a. In this way, the size of the escape groove 30a can be changed by moving the free end of the elastic pad 32 to adapt to connecting portions 21 of different sizes.

[0043] For some examples, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The free end of the elastic pad 32 extends in the first direction, the support member 20 includes two convex bumps 22, the two convex bumps 22 are arranged on both sides of the connecting portion 21 along the second direction, and at least part of the elastic pad 32 is located between the two convex bumps 22, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first direction, the second direction and the up-down direction are perpendicular to each other and together constitute a vertical three-dimensional coordinate system, where down refers to the direction toward the ground and up refers to the direction opposite to down. The two convex bumps 22 may be located on both sides of the elastic pad 32 in the width direction.

[0045] In this embodiment, the two convex bumps 22 can limit the displacement of the elastic pad 32 along the second direction, prevent the free end of the elastic pad 32 from deviating toward the second direction under the action of vibration, and improve the connection stability.

[0046] The convex bump 22 may be formed in any manner. For example, the convex bump 22 may be a bump disposed on both sides of the connecting portion 21 along the second direction by welding or other connection methods. Alternatively, the convex bump 22 may be formed by stamping or other processes.

[0047] For some examples, see Figure 1 , the support member 20 is arranged on the lower surface of the body 10, and the fastener 40 is penetrated through the elastic pad 32, the connecting part 21 and the seat body 31 in the up-down direction. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for the operator to install the body 10. On the other hand, under the elastic action of the elastic seat 30, the body 10 can prevent the body 10 from tilting and / or deflecting due to the uneven placement surface, thereby enhancing the stability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. In addition, by raising the body 10 by the support member 20 and the seat body 31, it can prevent hard objects from touching the body 10 and causing damage to the body 10, and it is also beneficial to the heat dissipation effect and waterproof performance of the body 10.

[0048] For some examples, see Figure 4 The two ends of the support member 20 in the length direction are provided with connecting parts 21, and each connecting part 21 corresponds to an elastic seat 30. In this way, the balance of the support member 20 can be improved, the stability of the body 10 can be enhanced, and the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 can be further improved.

[0049] For some examples, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The surface of the seat body 31 away from the connecting portion 21 has a groove 31a. For example, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The downward surface of the seat body 31 has a groove 31a. That is, the opening of the groove 31a faces the placement surface. In this way, on the one hand, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 has good shock absorption and noise reduction, and can save materials and reduce production costs. On the other hand, by reducing the contact area between the seat body 31 and the placement surface, the seat body 31 is more likely to undergo elastic deformation. Under the action of external force, the deformation degree is relatively significant, and it has a good energy absorption effect, thereby improving the shock absorption and noise reduction effect of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0050] In some embodiments, the elastic seat 30 is an integrally formed structure, so that the elastic seat 30 has better structural stability, simpler process, and can reduce production processes and reduce production costs.

[0051] In some embodiments, the support member 20 is a sheet metal structure. The sheet metal structure refers to a structure formed by cold processing such as stamping, shearing or bending of a metal plate. In this way, the structural stability of the support member 20 is better and the production cost can be reduced.

[0052] For some examples, see Figure 6 The fastener 40 includes a limiting portion 41 and a column 42. The limiting portion 41 is arranged at one end of the column 42. The column 42 is penetrated by the elastic pad 32, the connecting portion 21 and the seat body 31. The limiting portion 41 abuts against the surface of the elastic pad 32 away from the connecting portion 21. In this way, the elastic pad 32 has a supporting effect on the limiting portion 41, which can improve the connection stability between the fastener 40 and the elastic seat 30. In addition, the limiting portion 41 and the connecting portion 21 are spaced apart by the elastic pad 32 to avoid contact between the limiting portion 41 and the connecting portion 21, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted between the fastener 40 and the support member 20.

[0053] Taking the fastener 40 as a screw or a bolt as an example, the column 42 of the fastener 40 may be formed with an external thread.

[0054] For some examples, see Figure 3 The elastic pad 32 is formed with a first limiting hole 32a, the seat body 31 is formed with a second limiting hole 31b, the column 42 is inserted into the first limiting hole 32a and the second limiting hole 31b, and the diameters of the first limiting hole 32a and the second limiting hole 31b are larger than the diameter of the column 42. In this way, it is convenient for operators to insert the fastener 40, thereby improving the working efficiency.

[0055] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the diameter of the avoidance hole 21a can be larger than the diameters of the first limiting hole 32a and the second limiting hole 31b. In this way, the elastic pad 32 and the seat body 31 are deformed, and when the hole wall surface of the first limiting hole 32a and the hole wall surface of the second limiting hole 31b are in contact with the fastener 40, the fastener 40 can also be out of contact with the hole wall surface of the avoidance hole 21a, and under the action of the friction force of the elastic seat 30, the fastener 40 can be further prevented from contacting with the support member 20, thereby improving the shock absorption and noise reduction effect of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0056] An embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, including the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 in any one of the embodiments of the present application.

[0057] The air conditioner also includes an air conditioner indoor unit, which is used to adjust the indoor temperature. The air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 can be connected by a pipeline for circulating refrigerant.

[0058] Exemplarily, the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present application may be any type of air conditioning equipment, such as a "one-to-many" air conditioning equipment, that is, one air conditioning outdoor unit 100 corresponds to multiple air conditioning indoor units.

[0059] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, a plurality includes a number of two or more.
