Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to an air conditioning outdoor unit and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioners are indispensable electrical appliances in people's daily lives and have a variety of structural forms. With the continuous improvement of industrial design level and the application of new processes, new materials and new shapes in air conditioners, not only a variety of air conditioner indoor units have been developed, but also the structure of air conditioner outdoor units has been optimized accordingly.

[0003] Taking the digging handle (or buckle handle) of the air conditioner outdoor unit in the prior art as an example, a plastic handle is often set on the top cover plate or the side plate structure. In actual production, the setting of the additional digging handle or digging handle structure increases the material cost and installation cost to a certain extent. On the one hand, the digging handle (such as the plastic handle) needs to be installed separately, which increases the manual workload and is not conducive to improving the work efficiency of the production line. On the other hand, it is not conducive to reducing the space occupied by the outdoor unit. Even some protruding handle structures will increase the space occupied by the outdoor unit.

[0004] At the same time, the hand-scoop structure provided at the top cover plate in the prior art often destroys or changes the conventional configuration of the top cover plate, which is not conducive to improving the overall mechanical strength of the top cover plate and is prone to deformation of the top cover plate during assembly, transportation and other scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the utility model aims to propose an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner to solve the problems of the prior art in setting a digging piece or a digging structure, such as high material cost and installation cost, which is not conducive to reducing the space occupied by the outdoor unit.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] An air conditioner outdoor unit includes a top cover plate, a side plate, and a condenser. The side plate includes an arc plate, a first assembly plate, and a second assembly plate. One side of the arc plate is connected to the first assembly plate, and the other side is connected to the second assembly plate. The top cover plate is connected to the first assembly plate and the second assembly plate. The arc plate is arranged near the bent arc portion of the condenser. In the vertical projection, the projection of the arc plate completely falls into the projection of the top cover plate, so that a hand-digging area is formed between the arc plate and the lower flange of the top cover plate. Therefore, on the one hand, there is no need to set up an additional hand-digging piece on the air conditioner outdoor unit, which reduces the material cost and installation cost. There is no need to process or install the hand-digging piece or hand-digging structure separately, which is conducive to reducing the manual workload and improving the work efficiency of the production line. On the other hand, as the arc plate moves inward, the space occupied by the outdoor unit can be reduced to a certain extent, which is also conducive to improving the appearance of the outdoor unit. At the same time, the conventional configuration of the top cover plate in the prior art can be retained, and there is no need to damage or modify the lower flange, side wall, plate body and other structures of the top cover plate, which can effectively ensure the overall mechanical strength of the top cover plate and prevent deformation of the top cover plate during assembly and transportation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit. In addition, in the hand-digging area, since the arc plate shields and wraps the condenser, the arc plate will separate the human hand from the condenser during the transportation of the outdoor unit, preventing the condenser fins from scratching the human hand.

[0008] Furthermore, the central axis of the arc plate is colinear with the central axis of the bent arc portion of the condenser, so that the arc plate is sufficiently close to the condenser, which is conducive to fully increasing the space of the digging area and facilitating manual operation.

[0009] Furthermore, a first inner folding edge is provided on one side of the first assembly plate close to the arc plate, and a second inner folding edge is provided on one side of the second assembly plate close to the arc plate. The first assembly plate is connected to the arc plate via the first inner folding edge, and the second assembly plate is connected to the arc plate via the second inner folding edge. Both the first inner folding edge and the second inner folding edge extend toward the condenser. Thus, by providing the inner folding edge structure, the arc plate can be moved inward as a whole, and the space of the hand digging area can be further increased.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance between the arc plate and the corner of the adjacent top cover plate is recorded as C, and the chord length of the arc corresponding to the arc plate is recorded as D, C is 25mm-35mm, and D is 65mm-75mm. This allows the hand-digging area to have enough space, so that a person's fingers can be inserted into the hand-digging area, which is convenient for applying force to the top cover plate, while also preventing the arc plate from moving too much inward to avoid affecting the internal component settings of the external unit.

[0011] Furthermore, the distance between the first assembly plate and the second assembly plate is recorded as E, and the difference between E and D is 9mm-12mm. Thus, the first inner folding edge and the second inner folding edge can extend into the interior of the outer unit by an appropriate distance, which can not only prevent the arc plate from moving inward too much, but also help to ensure the mechanical strength of the entire side plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the top cover plate is connected to the first assembly plate and the second assembly plate respectively through fasteners to improve the assembly reliability of the side plate and the top cover plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the air conditioner outdoor unit includes a chassis, and the first assembly plate and the second assembly plate are both connected to the chassis. The first assembly plate is provided with a first mating surface and a second mating surface at the lower end, and a first slot is formed between the first mating surface and the second mating surface; the second assembly plate is provided with a third mating surface and a fourth mating surface at the lower end, and a second slot is formed between the third mating surface and the fourth mating surface; the first slot and the second slot are respectively engaged with the upper flange of the chassis. Therefore, when assembling the side panel and the chassis, the first assembly plate and the second assembly plate can be firstly engaged and positioned on the chassis, and then the side panel and the chassis are fixedly connected, which is not only convenient for the actual assembly operation, but also conducive to improving the support strength between the components.

[0014] An air conditioner comprises an air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit is connected to the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner outdoor unit and the air conditioner described in the utility model have the following advantages:

[0016] Compared with the existing air conditioner outdoor unit structure, the present invention provides a side plate with an arc plate, and moves the arc plate inward toward the condenser, thereby forming a digging area between the arc plate and the lower flange of the top cover plate. When carrying the air conditioner outdoor unit, people can directly insert their fingers into the digging area and apply force to the top cover plate, so that the corresponding corners of the top cover plate can be used as digging hands for the air conditioner outdoor unit. This makes it unnecessary to set up additional digging pieces on the air conditioner outdoor unit, reducing material costs and installation costs, and it is also unnecessary to process or install the digging pieces or digging structures separately, which is conducive to reducing manual workload and improving production line work efficiency. On the other hand, as the arc plate moves inward, the space occupied by the outdoor unit can be reduced to a certain extent, which is also conducive to improving the appearance of the outdoor unit.

[0017] At the same time, the present application can retain the conventional configuration of the top cover plate in the prior art, without destroying or modifying the lower flange, side wall, plate body and other structures of the top cover plate, which can effectively ensure the overall mechanical strength of the top cover plate and prevent deformation of the top cover plate during assembly and transportation of the air conditioner outdoor unit. In addition, in the hand-digging area, since the arc plate shields and wraps the condenser, the arc plate will separate the human hand from the condenser during the transportation of the outdoor unit, preventing the condenser fins from scratching the human hand.

[0025] The following will use the terms commonly used by those skilled in the art to convey the essence of their work to other technical personnel in the art to describe the utility model concepts of the present disclosure. However, these utility model concepts can be embodied in many different forms and should not be considered as limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0028] In the prior art, the provision of an additional digging piece or digging structure for the air conditioner outdoor unit not only increases the material cost and installation cost to a certain extent, but also requires the digging piece (such as a plastic handle) to be installed separately, which increases the manual workload and is not conducive to improving the work efficiency of the production line. On the other hand, it is not conducive to reducing the space occupied by the outdoor unit as a whole. Even some protruding handle structures will increase the space occupied by the outdoor unit as a whole. At the same time, the digging structure provided on the top cover plate in the prior art often destroys or changes the conventional configuration of the top cover plate, which is not conducive to improving the overall mechanical strength of the top cover plate and is prone to deformation of the top cover plate in scenes such as assembly and transportation.

[0029] In order to solve the problems in the prior art of setting a digging piece or digging structure, such as high material cost and installation cost, which is not conducive to reducing the space occupied by the outdoor unit, this embodiment proposes an air conditioner outdoor unit, such as the attached Figure 1-4 As shown, the air-conditioning outdoor unit includes a top cover plate 1, a side plate 2, and a condenser 3. The side plate 2 includes an arc plate 21, a first assembly plate 22, and a second assembly plate 23. One side of the arc plate 21 is connected to the first assembly plate 22, and the other side is connected to the second assembly plate 23. The top cover plate 1 is connected to the first assembly plate 22 and the second assembly plate 23. The arc plate 21 is arranged in the vicinity of the bent arc portion 31 of the condenser 3. In the vertical projection, the projection of the arc plate 21 completely falls into the projection of the top cover plate 1, so that a certain space is formed between the arc plate 21 and the lower flange of the top cover plate 1, which is recorded as the hand-digging area 5 in this application.

[0030] Compared with the existing air-conditioning outdoor unit structure, the present application forms a hand-digging area 5 between the arc plate 21 and the lower flange of the top cover plate 1 by providing a side plate 2 with an arc plate 21 and moving the arc plate 21 inward toward the condenser 3. When carrying the air-conditioning outdoor unit, people can directly insert their fingers into the hand-digging area 5 and apply force to the top cover plate 1, so that the corresponding corner 11 of the top cover plate 1 can be used as a hand-digging area for the air-conditioning outdoor unit. This makes it unnecessary to provide an additional hand-digging piece on the air-conditioning outdoor unit, reducing material costs and installation costs, and it is also unnecessary to process or install the hand-digging piece or hand-digging structure separately, which is conducive to reducing manual workload and improving production line work efficiency. On the other hand, as the arc plate 21 moves inward, the space occupied by the outdoor unit can be reduced to a certain extent, which is also conducive to improving the appearance of the outdoor unit.

[0031] At the same time, the present application can retain the conventional configuration of the top cover plate in the prior art, without destroying or modifying the lower flange, side wall, plate body and other structures of the top cover plate, which can effectively ensure the overall mechanical strength of the top cover plate and prevent deformation of the top cover plate of the air conditioner outdoor unit during assembly, transportation and other scenarios. In addition, in the hand-digging area 5, since the arc plate 21 shields and wraps the condenser 3, the arc plate 21 will separate the human hand from the condenser 3 during the transportation of the outdoor unit, preventing the fins of the condenser 3 from scratching the human hand.

[0032] The central axis of the arc plate 21 is colinear with the central axis of the curved arc portion 31 of the condenser 3, or in other words, in a horizontal cross section, the arc of the arc plate 21 and the arc of the curved arc portion 31 have the same center. Thus, the arc plate 21 is sufficiently close to the condenser 3, which is conducive to fully increasing the space of the hand-digging area 5 and facilitating manual operation.

[0033] In the prior art, the side panel 2 of the external machine is often located at a corner 11 of the top cover plate 1. In order to ensure that the hand-digging area 5 has enough space, the distance between the arc plate 21 and the corresponding corner 11 of the top cover plate 1 is recorded as C, and the chord length of the arc corresponding to the arc plate 21 is recorded as D. C is 25mm-35mm, and D is 65mm-75mm. This allows the hand-digging area 5 to have enough space, so that a person's fingers can be inserted into the hand-digging area 5, which is convenient for applying force to the top cover plate 1. At the same time, it also prevents the arc plate 21 from moving inward too much to avoid affecting the internal component settings of the external machine. In the prior art, the corner 11 is often set in the form of a chamfered edge or a rounded corner. For the chamfered edge form, C is the minimum distance between the arc plate 21 and the corner 11 (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 2 As shown), for the rounded corner form, C can be the distance between the arc top of the arc plate 21 and the rounded corner top of the corner 11.

[0034] For the structure related to the inward movement of the arc plate 21, a first inner folding edge 24 is provided on the side of the first assembly plate 22 close to the arc plate 21, and a second inner folding edge 25 is provided on the side of the second assembly plate 23 close to the arc plate 21. The first assembly plate 22 is connected to the arc plate 21 through the first inner folding edge 24, and the second assembly plate 23 is connected to the arc plate 21 through the second inner folding edge 25. Both the first inner folding edge 24 and the second inner folding edge 25 extend toward the condenser 3. Thus, by setting the inner folding edge structure, the arc plate 21 can be moved inward as a whole, and the space of the hand digging area 5 can be further increased.

[0035] The distance between the first assembly plate 22 and the second assembly plate 23 is recorded as E, and ED is 9mm-12mm, so that the first inner folding edge 24 and the second inner folding edge 25 can extend an appropriate distance into the interior of the external machine, which can not only prevent the arc plate 21 from moving too much inward, but also help to ensure the mechanical strength of the entire side panel 2.

[0036] As for the connection between the top cover plate 1 and the side plate 2, the top cover plate 1 is connected to the first assembly plate 22 and the second assembly plate 23 respectively through fasteners. Specifically, assembly holes are provided at the upper ends of the first assembly plate 22 and the second assembly plate 23, and corresponding mounting holes are provided at the lower flange of the top cover plate 1. By inserting screws or bolts accordingly, the connection between the top cover plate 1 and the side plate 2 can be achieved.

[0037] The air conditioner outdoor unit includes a chassis 4, and the first assembly plate 22 and the second assembly plate 23 are both connected to the chassis 4. Specifically, the first assembly plate 22 is provided with a first mating surface 221 and a second mating surface 222 at the lower end, and a first clamping groove is formed between the first mating surface 221 and the second mating surface 222; the second assembly plate 23 is provided with a third mating surface 231 and a fourth mating surface 232 at the lower end, and a second clamping groove is formed between the third mating surface 231 and the fourth mating surface 232; the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove are respectively clamped with the upper flange 41 of the chassis 4, so that when the side plate 2 is assembled with the chassis 4, the first assembly plate 22 and the second assembly plate 23 can be first clamped and positioned on the chassis 4, and then the side plate 2 can be fixedly connected with the chassis 4, which is not only convenient for the actual assembly operation, but also conducive to improving the supporting strength between the components.

[0038] In the utility model, any air conditioner can include the air conditioner outdoor unit described in this embodiment, and based on the relevant structure and assembly relationship of the outdoor unit provided in this embodiment, the air conditioner also includes conventional components of the air conditioner outdoor unit including a fan, a compressor, an electronic control box and other structures; similarly, the air conditioner also includes an air conditioner indoor unit connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit and related components; in view of the fact that they are all prior art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
