There are many types of outdoor units, including wall-mounted, cabinet-type, duct-type and other forms, which can be selected according to different usage requirements.

[0045] It can be understood that the panel 22 in the embodiment of the present application is the front panel 22 of the outdoor unit. The panel 22 is arranged in the shell 21 to form a space inside the shell 21. The panel 22 not only plays a role in sealing and preventing air leakage, but also plays a role in protecting and preventing rainwater and debris from entering the interior of the outdoor unit at will, so as to protect the electrical components in the outdoor unit.

[0046] Based on the outdoor unit of the embodiment of the present application, when assembling the casing assembly 20 and the mesh cover 10 of the outdoor unit, the pre-assembled component 30 is first fixed to the first side surface 221 of the panel 22, and then the mesh cover 10 is slidably connected to the pre-assembled component 30. The user can slide the mesh cover 10 left and right to adjust the relative position of the mesh cover 10 and the panel 22. After adjusting the mesh cover 10 to a suitable position, the mesh cover 10 is fixedly connected to the pre-assembled component 30 to limit the relative position of the mesh cover 10 and the panel 22. During this process, the user does not need to manually stabilize the mesh cover 10.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, the pre-assembled part 30 includes a first connecting part 31, a hanging part 32 and a limiting part 33, the first connecting part 31 is installed on the first side surface 221; the hanging part 32 is connected to the first connecting part 31, and extends toward the mesh cover 10 along the thickness direction of the panel 22, the limiting part 33 is connected to the hanging part 32, and the limiting part 33 is extended away from the connecting part along the height direction of the panel 22; the mesh cover 10 includes a cover body and a hanging frame 12, the hanging frame 12 is fixed to the top of the cover body, the hanging frame 12 is suspended from the hanging part 32, the hanging frame 12 has a limiting groove 121, and the hanging frame 12 is suspended to the hanging part 32; wherein, the limiting part 33 is in the limiting groove 121.

[0048] The first connecting portion 31 is used to connect with the first side surface 221 of the panel 22 to achieve a fixed connection between the pre-assembled component 30 and the panel 22. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the connection method between the first connecting portion 31 and the panel 22, for example, bonding, bolting, welding, clamping, etc.; for example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the panel 22 is provided with a first card interface 222, the first connecting portion 31 includes a first main body sub-portion 3 and a first card connection sub-portion 312, the first main body sub-portion 3 is connected to the hanging portion 32; the second card connection sub-portion 512 is connected to the first main body sub-portion 3, and is carded into the first card interface 222, that is, the first connecting portion 31 and the panel 22 are fixedly connected by card connection. Of course, on the basis of the card connection between the first main body sub-portion 3 and the panel 22, the first main body sub-portion 3 and the panel 22 can still be further reinforced by bonding, connecting via a connector, welding or card connection. The number of the first card interface 222 and the first card connection sub-portion 312 in the embodiment of the present application can be multiple, and multiple first card interfaces 222 and multiple first card connection sub-portions 312 can be arranged along the length direction of the panel 22.

[0049] The hanging portion 32 is used to suspend the mesh cover 10. It can be understood that the extension direction of the hanging portion 32 (the thickness direction of the panel 22) is set at a 90° angle with the first side surface 221. After extending toward the mesh cover 10 along the thickness direction of the panel 22, the hanging portion 32 is in a state of protruding from the first side surface 221. In this way, the upper edge of the mesh cover 10 can be placed on the hanging portion 32 to achieve the suspension of the mesh cover 10 on the hanging portion 32, which facilitates the suspension of the mesh cover 10 on the hanging portion 32.

[0050] The limiting portion 33 is used to limit the movement of the mesh cover 10 relative to the pre-assembled component 30 along the thickness direction of the mesh cover 10 to prevent the mesh cover 10 from falling from the hanging portion 32. In the embodiment of the present application, the limiting portion 33 is extended away from the first connecting portion 31 along the height direction of the panel 22. Then, after the limiting portion 33 is in the limiting groove 121, the mesh cover 10 can ensure that the limiting portion 33 is in the limiting groove 121 under the action of its own gravity to prevent the mesh cover 10 from falling from under the pre-assembled component 30; and the cooperation between the limiting portion 33 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 121 can guide the mesh cover 10 when it slides relative to the pre-assembled component 30 along the length direction of the panel 22. In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting portion 33 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 121 are slidably connected along the length direction of the panel 22.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the hanging portion 32 extends along the length direction of the panel 22 , so that the hanging frame 12 can slide relative to the pre-assembled component 30 along the length direction of the panel 22 .

[0052] A plurality of ventilation openings are provided on the cover body so that the airflow generated by the outdoor unit can flow to the outside of the outdoor unit. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the shape, size and material of the cover body. Optionally, the cover body is configured as a rectangular sheet metal part, and the suspension frame 12 is fixed to the upper edge of the cover body.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the side of the suspension frame 12 facing away from the cover body has a first receiving groove 122, and the outdoor unit further includes a plurality of first connecting members 40, the first connecting member 40 includes a first force-applying portion and a first connecting portion connected to each other, the first connecting portion penetrates the suspension frame 12 and the suspension portion 32 from the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 122 to fixedly connect the suspension frame 12 and the suspension portion 32; the first force-applying portion is located in the first receiving groove 122. After the first connecting member 40 connects the suspension frame 12 and the suspension portion 32, the first force-applying portion of the first connecting member 40 is located in the first receiving groove 122, and the user will not be able to observe the first connecting member 40 from the front of the outdoor unit, thereby improving the aesthetics of the outdoor unit.

[0054] In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the mesh cover 10, the first connecting member 40 usually has a first force-applying portion for maintenance personnel to apply external force to the first connecting member 40, and the first force-applying portion of the first connecting member 40 is usually exposed on the outside of the outdoor unit, so that maintenance personnel can apply external force to the first connecting member 40, such as the screw head of a screw and a stud, the rivet head of a rivet, etc.; in order to facilitate the disassembly of the mesh cover 10 and the pre-assembled part 30, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting member 40 is configured as a screw, the threaded portion of the screw is connected to the positioning frame 13 and the transverse positioning portion 52 at the same time, and the screw head portion of the screw is in the first receiving groove 122.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the outdoor unit further includes a positioning member 50, which is arranged along the height direction of the panel 22 and installed on the first side 221 of the panel 22; the mesh cover 10 further includes a positioning frame 13, which is arranged along the height direction of the panel 22 and fixedly connected to the cover body, and the positioning frame 13 abuts against the positioning member 50. When the mesh cover 10 slides relative to the pre-installed member 30 along the length direction of the panel 22, the positioning frame 13 of the mesh cover 10 abuts against the positioning member 50, which means that the mesh cover 10 is aligned with the panel 22. At this time, the user can fix the pre-installed member 30 and the hanging frame 12 through the first connecting member 40.

[0056] The positioning member 50 is used to define the position of the mesh cover 10 relative to the panel 22. In the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the positioning member 50 is not limited, as long as the positioning member 50 abuts against the positioning frame 13 when the mesh cover 10 and the panel 22 are aligned.

[0057] The positioning frame 13 is used to protect the structure of the cover body. When the mesh cover 10 moves relative to the panel 22, the two side edges of the mesh cover 10 distributed along the length direction of the panel 22 need to contact and be connected to the positioning piece 50. Therefore, a positioning frame 13 with stronger structural strength is provided to contact and be connected to the positioning piece 50 to protect the structure of the cover body.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, there are two positioning members 50, which are respectively arranged on both side edges of the panel 22 along the length direction; there are two positioning frames 13, which are fixed on both sides of the mesh cover 10 along the length direction of the panel 22, and the positioning frames 13 abut against the corresponding positioning members 50.

[0059] The two positioning members 50 can position the mesh cover 10 more accurately, and the two positioning members 50 can be connected to the positioning frames 13 on both sides of the cover body distributed along the length direction of the panel 22.

[0060] In combination with the above-mentioned cover body, a ventilation opening for ventilation is provided. In order to prevent the positioning frame 13 from affecting the ventilation performance of the cover body, in an embodiment of the present application, when the number of the positioning member 50 and the positioning frame 13 is one, the positioning frame 13 is fixed to any side of the cover body distributed along the length direction of the panel 22; when the number of the positioning frames 13 is two, the positioning frames 13 are respectively fixed to both sides of the cover body distributed along the length direction of the panel 22.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the positioning member 50 includes a second connecting portion 51 and a transverse positioning portion 52, the second connecting portion 51 is fixedly connected to the panel 22; the transverse positioning portion 52 is connected to the second connecting portion 51, and extends away from the first side surface 221 along the thickness direction of the panel 22, and the transverse positioning portion 52 has a transverse positioning surface 521, and the transverse positioning surface 521 abuts the positioning frame 13.

[0062] The second connection portion 51 is used to connect with the first side surface 221 of the panel 22 to achieve a fixed connection between the positioning member 50 and the panel 22. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the connection method between the second connection portion 51 and the panel 22, for example, bonding, bolt connection, welding, clamping, etc.; for example, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the panel 22 is provided with a second card interface 223, the second connecting portion 51 includes a second main body sub-portion 5 and a second card connection sub-portion 512, the second main body sub-portion 5 is connected to the horizontal positioning portion 52; the second card connection sub-portion 512 is connected to the second main body sub-portion 5, and is carded into the second card interface 223, that is, the second connecting portion 51 and the panel 22 are fixedly connected by card connection. Of course, on the basis of the card connection between the second main body sub-portion 5 and the panel 22, the second main body sub-portion 5 and the panel 22 can still be further reinforced by bonding, connecting via a connector, welding or card connection. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the second card interface 223 and the second card connection sub-portion 512 can be multiple, and the multiple second card interfaces 223 and the multiple second card connection sub-portions 512 can be arranged along the height direction of the panel 22.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second main body sub-section 5 includes a connecting section 51, an extension section 52 and a longitudinal limiting section 53. The connecting section 51 is arranged to fit the first side surface 221 and is connected to the second clamping sub-section 512; the extension section 52 is connected to the connecting section 51 and is extended away from the first side surface 221 along the thickness direction of the panel 22; the longitudinal limiting section 53 is connected to the extension section 52 and is arranged parallel to the first side surface 221.
