[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model proposes an air-conditioning outer unit casing, including a matching bottom plate, a front panel 1, a rear panel, a left side panel 2, a right side panel 3 and a top panel 4, wherein the front panel 1 includes a main front panel 11 and a sub-front panel 12; wherein the main front panel 11 is spliced ​​with the bottom plate and the top panel 4, and the main front panel 11 is clamped and fixed with the left side panel 2; the sub-front panel 12 is spliced ​​with the bottom plate and the top panel 4, and one side edge thereof is pressed on the side edge of the main front panel 11 away from the left side panel 2 and clamped and fixed, and the side edge of the sub-front panel 12 away from the main front panel 11 is bent and partially overlapped with the right side panel 3, and then fixedly connected through a locking member 7.

[0025] In the casing of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the front panel 1 is designed to be matched with a main front panel 11 and a sub-front panel 12. The main front panel 11 and the sub-front panel 12 are both spliced ​​with the bottom panel and the top panel 4. One side of the main front panel 11 is clamped and fixed to the left side panel 2, and the other side opposite to the main front panel 11 is pressed and clamped and fixed by one side of the sub-front panel 12. After the other side opposite to the sub-front panel 12 is bent and partially overlapped with the right side panel 3, it is fixedly connected by a locking member 7, so that the locking member 7 is located on the right side surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit casing. The locking member 7 is not arranged on the front side of the air conditioner outdoor unit casing to meet the current flat, integrated and extremely simplified design aesthetics. When disassembling, after removing the locking member 7, the sub-front panel 12 and the main front panel 11 can be removed in turn, and there is no need to remove the top panel 4 first, thereby reducing the removal process of the front panel 1.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, according to another embodiment of the utility model, the air-conditioning outer unit casing further includes a sound insulation board 5, and the sound insulation board 5 is placed in the air-conditioning outer unit casing. The bottom plate, the main front plate 11, the sound insulation board 5, the left side plate 2 and the top plate 4 are used to enclose a fan blade installation area, and the bottom plate, the sub-front plate 12, the sound insulation board 5, the left side plate 2 and the top plate 4 are used to enclose an electric control component installation area, and a drainage component 6 is formed between the sub-front plate 12 and the top plate 4.

[0027] Since the top plate 4 and the auxiliary front plate 12 are connected at the position where they are spliced, there will be a gap between the top plate 4 and the auxiliary front plate 12, and the bottom plate, the auxiliary front plate 12, the sound insulation plate 5, the left side plate 2 and the top plate 4 are used to enclose the electric control component installation area; in order to prevent rainwater from penetrating into the electric control component installation area through the gap and causing damage to the electric control components installed in the electric control component installation area, a drainage component 6 is formed between the auxiliary front plate 12 and the top plate 4, and the rainwater entering the gap is discharged out of the casing of the outdoor unit of this air conditioner through the drainage component 6.

[0028] Based on the above scheme:

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Fig.11 The drainage component 6 includes a water collection channel 61 and a drainage channel, wherein the water collection channel 61 is formed after the top of the mounting block formed on the front side of the top plate 4 along its length direction is recessed toward the inside thereof; there are two drainage channels, both of which are arranged vertically, and the top ends of the two drainage channels are connected to the two ends of the water collection channel 61 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the bottom ends of the two drainage channels are connected to the external drainage channel arranged on the bottom plate.

[0030] Specifically, the front side of the top plate 4 is bent downward to form a top front bending edge, and the mounting block is integrally formed on the front side of the top front bending edge and is located on the right side of the sub-front plate 12; wherein, the middle part of the water collecting channel 61 is horizontally arranged and its cross section is "U"-shaped, which is convenient for collecting rainwater in the gap, and both ends of the water collecting channel 61 are bent downward 90 degrees and then connected to the top of the two drainage channels. The water collecting channel 61 is convenient for effectively discharging the collected rainwater into the two drainage channels and then into the external discharge channel to be discharged to the outside of the outer casing of the air conditioner.

[0031] In order to effectively guide the rainwater entering the gap into the water collection channel 61 and avoid entering the electric control component installation area, the top side of the auxiliary front plate 12 is bent to form a material guide flange, and the material guide flange extends into the water collection channel 61.
