[0032] The utility model provides a casing.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the casing is applied to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, the outdoor unit is provided with a side panel and a front panel 100, and is formed with a compressor cavity and a fan cavity, a fan and a heat exchanger are arranged in the fan cavity, the front panel 100 includes a first part 110 arranged corresponding to the fan cavity and a second part arranged corresponding to the compressor cavity, the side panel includes a first side panel 200 arranged corresponding to the fan cavity; the casing includes the first side panel 200 and the first part 110 of the front panel 100 which are integrally formed, the first part 110 is provided with an air outlet 111 for connecting to the fan cavity, the first part 110 is integrally formed with a motor frame 300 at the air outlet 111 for installing the driving motor of the fan.

[0034] In the technical solution of the present invention, the first side panel 200 and the motor frame 300 are integrally formed with the first part 110 of the front panel 100, eliminating the assembly process between the three, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the outdoor unit. At the same time, compared with the production method of separate processing of the three, the present invention processes the three in one piece, which can also improve the processing efficiency of the casing.

[0035] It should be noted that the casing of the present invention may refer to an integrated component consisting of the first side panel 200, the first part 110, the motor frame 300 and other related parts, or may also include other shell components of the outdoor unit such as a chassis and a top cover on the basis of the above-mentioned integrated component.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first side panel 200, the first part 110 and the motor frame 300 thereon are integrally formed by stamping. In this way, the production and processing of the integral component can be facilitated, and both the processing efficiency and the processing quality can be guaranteed. Among them, since the motor frame 300 is integrally formed at the air outlet 111, the present embodiment can reasonably utilize the waste generated by stamping the first part 110 at the air outlet 111, thereby saving costs. Of course, in other embodiments, the three can also be integrally formed by casting or injection molding.

[0037] In one embodiment, the housing further includes the second part, and the second part is formed integrally with the first part 110. That is, the second part also forms an integral component with the first part 110, so that the entire front panel 100 is formed integrally with the first side panel 200. In this way, the assembly process of the outdoor unit can be further simplified, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency of the outdoor unit. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible that after the second part is independently formed, it can be detachably installed corresponding to the compressor cavity. When the components in the compressor cavity or the fan cavity need to be repaired, the maintenance personnel can disassemble the first part 110 or the second part separately, and the maintenance personnel can work more labor-savingly.

[0038] In one embodiment, a fixing hole 120 is provided at the connection between the first side panel 200 and the first part 110 for fixing the heat exchanger, so that the heat exchanger can be stably installed. The fixing hole 120 may pass through from the inside to the outside of the casing, or a lug may be provided on the inside of the casing, and the fixing hole 120 passes through the lug. Specifically, a hole position is provided on the side panel of the heat exchanger corresponding to the fixing hole 120, and the heat exchanger is locked or tied to the casing by inserting a fastener or a cable tie into the corresponding hole position, or a buckle is provided on the side panel of the heat exchanger, and the heat exchanger is fixed to the casing by inserting the buckle into the fixing hole 120, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the heat exchanger. Of course, in other embodiments, a fixing structure of the heat exchanger may also be provided on the top cover or the chassis.

[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, the motor frame 300 includes a fixed seat 310 and a transfer leg 320, and the transfer leg 320 is arranged in a plurality along the circumference of the fixed seat 310 and connected to the edge of the air outlet 111, and the fixed seat 310 is used to install the drive motor. In this way, through the supporting effect of the transfer leg 320, the fixed seat 310 can be stably connected to the second air outlet 111, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the drive motor. Specifically, the fixed seat 310 is provided with a through hole for the drive motor to be inserted and installed, and the outer periphery of the drive motor is convexly provided with a plurality of mounting legs, and the mounting legs and the fixed seat 310 are correspondingly provided with connecting holes for fasteners to penetrate and lock, so as to realize the installation of the drive motor on the motor frame 300. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible that the motor frame 300 is only connected to the lower side of the second air outlet 111 at the bottom to support the drive motor below the drive motor.

[0040] In one embodiment, the plurality of adapter legs 320 are evenly spaced and distributed along the circumference of the fixing seat 310. It can be understood that the even distribution of the adapter legs 320 means that the connection positions of the adapter legs 320 on the fixing seat 310 are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the fixing seat 310, the connection positions of the adapter legs 320 on the edge of the air outlet 111 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the air outlet 111, and the extension lines of the adapter legs 320 pass through the center of the air outlet 111. In this way, the circumferential uniformity of the fan when delivering air can be guaranteed, which is conducive to reducing the wind noise of the outdoor unit, thereby improving the working performance of the outdoor unit.

[0041] In one embodiment, the number of the adapter legs 320 is 3 to 8. In this way, a sufficient number of adapter legs 320 can provide stable support to the fixing base 310, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the drive motor, and can also provide a sufficient wind flow area for the air outlet 111 to ensure the air volume of the outdoor unit. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of adapter legs 320 can also be set to two relatively distributed, and by increasing the end connection area of ​​the adapter legs 320, the stable support of the adapter legs 320 to the fixing base 310 can also be guaranteed.

[0042] In one embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3As shown, the adapter leg 320 includes a first section 321 and a second section 322, wherein the first section 321 is connected to the fixing seat 310, and the second section 322 is connected to the air outlet 111, and the first section 321 and the second section 322 are connected at an angle, so that the motor frame 300 is protruded in front of the air outlet 111. In this way, better support can be provided for fixing the motor, and the motor frame 300 is only protruded forward relative to the first part 110, which provides sufficient installation space for the drive motor, and there is no need to widen the size of the overall outdoor unit in the front-to-back direction, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the outdoor unit. Of course, in other embodiments, the extension direction of the adapter bracket may be parallel to the radial direction of the air outlet 111.

[0043] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, in the axial direction of the air outlet 111, the distance between the first section 321 and the first portion 110 is k, 10mm≤k≤25mm. In this way, it can be ensured that the protruding distance of the motor frame 300 is large enough to provide sufficient installation space for the drive motor. Of course, in other embodiments, according to different needs, the distance can also be adaptively adjusted to other values.

[0044] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the thickness of the first section 321 is h, 10 mm ≤ h ≤ 15 mm. It should be noted that the thickness of the first section 321 includes the dimension of the first section 321 in the axial direction of the air outlet 111 (i.e. Figure 3 k), and also includes the distance between the two opposite sides of the first section 321 distributed along the circumference of the air outlet 111 (i.e. Figure 4 k shown). In this embodiment, limiting the above dimensions within a certain range can ensure the structural strength of the adapter leg 320, thereby ensuring the support capacity of the motor frame 300 for the drive motor, so as to ensure the stable installation of the drive motor. Of course, in other embodiments, the size of the first section 321 can also be adaptively adjusted to other values ​​according to different needs.

[0045] In one embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the angle between the second section 322 and the first part 110 is a, 140°≤a≤170°, and the angle between the first section 321 and the second section 322 is b, 140°≤b≤170°. In this way, after the drive motor is installed on the motor frame 300, the stress between the second section 322 and the first part 110 and the stress between the first section 321 and the second section 322 will not be too large, which is conducive to ensuring the structural stability of the adapter leg 320 itself, as well as the connection stability between the adapter leg 320 and the front panel 100, so as to ensure the stable support of the drive motor by the motor frame 300. In addition, the second section 322 can be parallel or approximately parallel to the first part 110 of the front panel 100, so as to facilitate the avoidance and cooperation of the air outlet grille. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be that the above-mentioned angle can be adaptively adjusted to other values ​​according to different needs.
