[0002] As people's requirements for quality of life increase, air conditioners have become important household appliances in people's daily lives. The outdoor unit of an air conditioner mainly includes a compressor, a condenser, a fan, and a controller. For central air conditioners, since multiple indoor units are connected to the outdoor unit, the multi-unit electronic control is relatively complex, with many components. There is no corresponding supporting and fixing device in the outdoor unit housing, which leads to the flying of wire harnesses inside the outdoor unit of the central air conditioner, which has a certain impact on the fan heating and maintenance of the outdoor unit. In addition, as the current market competition for units becomes more and more fierce, the appearance of the units is becoming more and more extreme, resulting in extremely limited space for the control box. Therefore, it is necessary to study a new layout of the electric control box in order to improve space utilization and reduce the overall size of the outdoor unit. Utility Model Content

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the utility model of the electric control box for the outdoor unit of the central air conditioner comprises a box body 1 and components arranged in the box body 1, a first-layer mounting plate 2 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1, a second-layer mounting plate 3 is provided above the first-layer mounting plate 2, a plurality of support frames 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the middle and top of the first-layer mounting plate 2, the lower end of the second-layer mounting plate 3 is mounted on the support frame 4 in the middle of the first-layer mounting plate 2 through a hinge 5, and the upper end of the second-layer mounting plate 3 is fixed to the support frame 4 on the top of the first-layer mounting plate 2 through screws, the main control board 31, the outdoor linear power supply board 32 and the driver switch power supply board 33 among the components are arranged on the outward side of the second-layer mounting plate 3, and the remaining components are arranged on the first-layer mounting plate 2.
[0023] Traditional electric control boxes are all single-layer structures, which causes the electric control boxes to occupy a large plane space. The utility model adopts a two-layer mounting plate structure, and the components such as the compressor drive plate, filter plate, fan drive plate and capacitor, which are heavy and occupy a large height space, are arranged on the first-layer mounting plate 2, and the components such as the main control board 31, outdoor linear power supply board 32 and driver switch power supply board 33, which are light and occupy a small height space, are arranged on the second-layer mounting plate 3. In this way, the plane occupied area of the electric control box can be greatly reduced, and the height space is not significantly increased, which can make the structure of the electric control box more compact. At the same time, the second-layer mounting plate 3 is connected to the first-layer mounting plate 2 through the hinge 5. When it is necessary to repair and replace the components under the second-layer mounting plate 3, it is only necessary to remove the screws on the top of the second-layer mounting plate 3, and then flip the second-layer mounting plate 3 downward, which is convenient and quick.
[0024] In order to prevent the second-layer mounting board 3 from being squeezed and collided with the components on the first-layer mounting board 2 after being turned over, a baffle 6 is further provided on the support frame 4 in the middle of the first-layer mounting board 2. Figure 3 As shown, the fixed end of the baffle 6 is fixed on the support frame 4, the free end of the baffle 6 extends in the direction away from the second-layer mounting plate 3, and is inclined in the direction away from the first-layer mounting plate 2, and the second-layer mounting plate 3 can be overlapped on the free end of the baffle 6 after being turned down. The inclined baffle 6 has a certain elasticity, which can play a buffering and supporting role when the second-layer mounting plate 3 is turned over, thereby protecting the components on the first-layer mounting plate 2 and the second-layer mounting plate 3.
[0025] Furthermore, the baffle 6 preferably includes two, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the box body 1, so as to support the left and right sides of the second layer of mounting plate 3 and improve the stability of the support. In addition, according to the space size in the box body 1, the inclination angle of the baffle 6 can be set to 30-75° to ensure that it can play a sufficient buffering role. In order to prevent the baffle 6 from bending at the end after bearing the second layer of mounting plate 3 for many times, a downwardly bent reinforcing wall 61 can be provided at the free end of the baffle 6.
[0026] At present, the arrangement of cables in the electric control box is also relatively random, and the wire harnesses are flying around, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation and subsequent inspection and maintenance of the electric control box. The preferred solution of the utility model is that the components located on the first-layer installation board 2 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the first-layer installation board 2 according to the strong and weak currents, and the corresponding cables are also separated on the left and right sides according to the strong and weak currents for easy management. In order to facilitate the arrangement of cables, a plurality of wire support brackets 7 are arranged around the first-layer installation board 2, and a plurality of wire passing brackets 8 are arranged in the middle of the first-layer installation board 2.
[0027] The wire support bracket 7 is a C-shaped structure with the opening facing upward. Figure 4As shown, one end is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the box body 1 through a positioning hole 71, and the other end is provided with a bundling hole 72. When arranging the cables, the surrounding cables are first placed on the wire support bracket 7, and then the cables are tied to the wire support bracket 7 with a bundling wire passing through the bundling hole 72. The wire support 8 is an n-shaped structure, such as Figure 5 As shown, its two ends are fixed to the first layer mounting plate 2 through fixing holes 81, and a bundling hole 72 is provided in the middle. For cables located in the middle of the mounting plate, which are difficult to arrange around, they are guided through the wire bracket 8, and at the same time, the cables are fixed to the wire bracket 8 through the bundling wire passing through the bundling hole 72.
[0028] In order to facilitate the installation of components, the surface of the box body 1 close to and facing the second-layer mounting plate 3 can be made an open surface, and an openable box door 9 is provided on the open surface. Heat dissipation holes 11 are provided on both sides of the box body 1. In order to facilitate the installation of the electric control box in the air-conditioning outdoor unit, mounting plates 12 that can be connected to the housing of the air-conditioning outdoor unit are provided at the upper and lower ends of the box body 1.
