DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] according to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present application proposes a baffle structure of an air-conditioner outdoor unit, including a baffle body 1, the baffle body 1 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 101 for respectively fixing with the bottom plate 5 and the front plate 6 of the air-conditioner outdoor unit, and the lower end of the baffle body 1 is further provided with a hook 102 for engaging with the flange of the bottom plate 5 of the air-conditioner outdoor unit; the baffle body 1 is provided with at least one reinforcing rib 4, that is, the bottom plate 5 and the front plate 6 of the air-conditioner outdoor unit are connected through the entire baffle body 1 to achieve shielding of the exposed rear position of the outdoor unit, thereby ensuring good protection and shielding effects. Specifically, the first mounting holes 101 are respectively connected with the bottom plate 5 and the front plate 6 of the air-conditioner outdoor unit. The holes on the plate 6 correspond to each other and are fastened by screw connection. However, the positioning of the holes may be difficult during this process, which may reduce the installation efficiency. Therefore, the above-mentioned hook 102 can be used to connect the above-mentioned hook 102 and the flange of the air-conditioning outdoor unit base plate 5 before installation and fixation, so that the corresponding holes are aligned, or the air-conditioning outdoor unit base plate 5 is preset with a flange point suitable for the hook 102. Through the positioning cooperation of the hook 102 and the flange, all the installation holes are directly matched to the accurate installation position, and the cooperation between the hook 102 and the flange is stable, which ensures that the baffle body will not be arbitrarily offset during the installation process, thereby ensuring stability and improving installation efficiency.

[0024] It should be noted that, through the arrangement of the first mounting hole 101 and the hook 102 of the baffle body 1, it is possible to stably position and fix the bottom plate 5 and the front plate 6 of the air conditioner outdoor unit to ensure shielding and protection performance, and the simple structure can replace the traditional condenser assembly shielding layer, simplifying the structure and reducing costs. The baffle body 1 is provided with at least one reinforcing rib 4, which can improve the strength of the baffle body 1 and prevent the baffle structure from shaking during transportation due to insufficient overall strength, resulting in deformation, dents and other defects.

[0025] In order to further improve the installation strength and stability of the entire baffle body, a bending plate 2 is provided at either end of the baffle body 1 in the length direction, and the bending plate 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 203 and a first clamping groove 204 fixedly connected to the side panel 7 of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the bending plate 2 is provided with at least one of the above-mentioned reinforcing ribs 4. That is to say, the bending plate can ensure the connection between the entire baffle body 1 and the side panel 7 of the air conditioner outdoor unit through the setting of the second mounting hole 203 and the mounting groove, thereby realizing the integrity of the connection structure and enhancing the overall connection stability.

[0026] In order to further improve the installation stability of the baffle, Figure 6 As shown, a mounting plate 3 is provided at one end of the baffle body 1 away from the bending plate 2. The mounting plate 3 is provided with a third mounting hole 301 and a second clamping groove 302 for positioning and connecting with the sound insulation board 8 of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The sound insulation board 8 is provided with holes and clamping blocks corresponding to the positions and shapes of the third mounting hole 301 and the second clamping groove 302, so as to realize the positioning connection between the mounting plate 3 and the sound insulation board 8. The setting of the mounting plate 3 can replace the end of the traditional condenser to realize the connection effect with the sound insulation board 8.

[0027] Regarding the above-mentioned reinforcing ribs 4, specifically, the above-mentioned reinforcing ribs 4 are vertically arranged, and the above-mentioned reinforcing ribs 4 are strip-shaped, that is, the baffle body 1 and the bending plate 2 are both arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate 5 of the air conditioner outdoor unit, that is, arranged in the vertical direction, and the reinforcing ribs 4 extend in the width direction of the baffle body 1 and the bending plate 2. The strip-shaped reinforcing ribs 4 can enhance the strength of the baffle body and the bending plate 2, and ensure the reinforcing effect of the baffle body and the bending plate 2 in a larger range, and the reinforcing ribs 4 are vertically arranged to ensure the compressive resistance of the baffle body and the bending plate 2 in the vertical direction, and multiple reinforcing ribs 4 are evenly spaced to ensure the uniformity of the reinforcing effect.

[0028] Moreover, the baffle body 1 and the bent plate 2 together form an L-shaped plate, which ensures that the shape of the entire baffle structure is relatively regular, has good aesthetics, and has high stability.

[0029] With regard to the specific structure of the above-mentioned bending plate, the above-mentioned bending plate 2 includes a first connecting plate 201 connected to the above-mentioned baffle body 1, and the end of the above-mentioned first connecting plate 201 away from the above-mentioned baffle body 1 is connected to the second connecting plate 202, and the above-mentioned second mounting hole 203 is opened on the second connecting plate 202. The angle between the above-mentioned first connecting plate 201 and the above-mentioned baffle body 1 is greater than 90°, and the extension direction of the above-mentioned second connecting plate 202 is perpendicular to the above-mentioned baffle body 1. That is to say, through the arrangement of the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 202, the overall baffle structure connection can be made smoother and the appearance is better.

[0030] In summary, the embodiment of the present application proposes a baffle structure of an air conditioner outdoor unit, including a baffle body 1, the baffle body 1 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 101 for being fixedly connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit base plate 5 and the air conditioner outdoor unit front plate 6 respectively, and the lower end of the baffle body 1 is also provided with a hook 102 for being engaged with the flange of the air conditioner outdoor unit base plate 5; the baffle body 1 is provided with at least one reinforcing rib 4, and the setting of the baffle body 1 can replace the shielding part formed by the traditional condenser assembly, and has a simple structure and low cost, and the overall setting of the reinforcing rib 4 can further enhance the supporting strength of the baffle body, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the air conditioner outdoor unit.
