It should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] In the related art, the air conditioner outdoor unit includes a ventilation mesh cover, and a decorative ring is usually installed outside the ventilation mesh cover. When the ventilation mesh cover and the decorative ring do not match well, there is a risk that the decorative ring will fall off the ventilation mesh cover during transportation or after the air conditioner outdoor unit has been running for a long time.

[0037] The present application embodiment provides a ventilation mesh assembly 100, see Figure 1-Figure 16 The ventilation mesh cover assembly 100 includes a ventilation mesh cover 10, a decorative ring 20 and a clamping structure 30. The ventilation mesh cover 10 includes a cover body 11 and an assembly body 12 surrounding the outer periphery of the cover body 11; the decorative ring 20 is arranged around the assembly body 12; the clamping structure 30 includes a clamping part and a buckle 32, one of which is arranged on the assembly body 12, and the other of which is arranged on the decorative ring 20; the clamping part includes a bayonet 311 and an anti-slip member 312, and the buckle 32 includes an elastic arm 321 and a hook 322, and the hook 322 is arranged at the free end of the elastic arm 321, and the elastic arm 321 is elastically deformed to make the hook 322 move from the first side of the bayonet 311 along the axial direction to the second side, and the hook 322 abuts against the surface of the bayonet 311 facing the second side; at least a part of the anti-slip member 312 extends into the bayonet 311 and is located on the side of the elastic arm 321 radially away from the hook 322.

[0038] The ventilation mesh assembly 100 can be applied to an air-conditioning outdoor unit 200, which is used to discharge indoor heat to the outdoors to achieve heat exchange and transfer and adjust the indoor temperature.

[0039] The air conditioner outdoor unit 200 is usually installed outdoors. The ventilation mesh cover 10 can prevent debris from entering the interior of the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 while achieving ventilation, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the outdoor air conditioner.

[0040] The decorative ring 20 is used to decorate the assembly 12 of the ventilation grille 10. After installation, the assembly 12 will expose the parts for installation. The decorative ring 20 can shield the assembly 12. At the same time, the decorative ring 20 can reduce the possibility of damage to the assembly 12 and extend the service life of the ventilation grille 10. The decorative ring 20 and the ventilation grille 10 are stacked along the ventilation direction. For example, the outer contour shape of the ventilation grille 10 can be approximately circular.

[0041] The clamping structure 30 is used to fix the decorative ring 20 and the ventilation mesh cover 10 by clamping. Figure 3 , the snap-fitting portion is disposed on the assembly body 12, and the buckle 32 is disposed on the decorative ring 20. In other embodiments, the snap-fitting portion is disposed on the decorative ring 20, and the buckle 32 is disposed on the assembly body 12.

[0042] The axial direction is consistent with the ventilation direction. The first side of the axial direction faces the outside of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200, and the second side of the axial direction faces the inside of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 200.

[0043] It can be understood that the axial direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the outer contour of the ventilation grille 10, and the radial direction refers to the direction along the radius of the outer contour of the ventilation grille 10. The circumferential direction refers to the direction of the ventilation grille 10 around the axial direction. Figure 3 Y1 represents the first side in the axial direction, and Y2 represents the second side in the axial direction. The ventilation direction may be from the second side toward the first side in the axial direction.

[0044] When the decorative ring 20 is installed, the decorative ring 20 and the ventilation grille 10 are relatively close, and the elastic arm 321 is elastically deformed under force, so that the hook 322 moves from the first side of the bayonet 311 to the second side along the axial direction, until the hook 322 abuts against the surface of the bayonet 311 facing the second side. The elastic arm 321 restores the elastic deformation, and the surface of the bayonet 311 facing the second side restricts the hook 322 from moving toward the first side, and the decorative ring 20 and the ventilation grille 10 are engaged.

[0045] When the decorative ring 20 and the ventilation mesh cover 10 are in a locked state, the anti-dropping member 312 is located on a side of the elastic arm 321 that is radially away from the hook 322 .

[0046] If the decorative ring 20 and the ventilation mesh cover 10 are unfastened, the hook 322 needs to move from the second side of the bayonet 311 toward the first side, and the elastic arm 321 needs to move toward the direction close to the anti-slip component 312, so that the hook 322 avoids the surface of the bayonet 311 facing the second side; in this case, the anti-slip component 312 can abut against the side of the elastic arm 321 radially away from the hook 322 to limit the elastic deformation of the elastic arm 321, thereby playing an anti-slip effect.

[0047] In this way, the anti-slip component 312 and the bayonet 311 can limit the axial and radial displacement of the hook 322 to reduce the possibility of the hook 322 escaping from the bayonet 311, thereby improving the assembly stability of the decorative ring 20 and the ventilation grille 10.

[0048] Exemplarily, the shape of the bayonet 311 is not limited, and may be rectangular, circular, or elliptical, etc. The hook 322 only needs to be able to pass through the bayonet 311 .

[0049] Exemplarily, the bayonet 311 is rectangular, with two opposite first sides of the rectangle arranged radially, and two opposite second sides arranged circumferentially. The anti-slip member 312 is arranged on the second side facing outward, and when the decorative ring 20 and the ventilation mesh cover 10 are in a clamped state, the hook 322 abuts against the surrounding part of the second side facing inward, and the displacement of the hook 322 in the radial direction is limited by the anti-slip member 312.

[0050] For some examples, see Figure 3 , the radial dimension of the contact surface between the hook 322 and the bayonet 311 is L1, and the minimum radial distance between the elastic arm 321 and the anti-slip member 312 is L2, wherein L2<L1. If the hook 322 is displaced too much in the radial direction toward the anti-slip member 312, the bayonet 311 will not be able to contact the hook 322, and the displacement of the hook 322 in the axial direction will not be limited, causing the anti-slip member 312 and the bayonet 311 to limit the position of the hook 322 to fail, and the hook 322 will fall out of the clamping portion. L2<L1, that is, the elastic arm 321 will contact the anti-slip member 312 when it moves outward in the radial direction, and the anti-slip member 312 will limit the elastic arm 321 from continuing to move outward. At this time, the hook 322 still abuts against the side of the bayonet 311 facing the second side, and the hook 322 will not fall out of the bayonet 311.

[0051] In some embodiments, in the radial direction, the free end of the elastic arm 321 is inclined toward the side where the hook 322 is located. In this way, when installing the decorative ring 20, it is easy for the elastic arm 321 and the hook 322 to pass through the bayonet 311, reducing the possibility of damage to the elastic arm 321 and the hook 322.

[0052] For some examples, see Figure 3 , the plane perpendicular to the axial direction is the reference plane, the surface of the elastic arm 321 radially facing the anti-slipping member 312 is the stop surface 3211, and the angle between the stop surface 3211 and the reference surface facing the anti-slipping member 312 is α, wherein 90°<α<180°. In this way, when installing the decorative ring 20, when the elastic arm 321 and the hook 322 pass through the bayonet 311, the impact of the stop surface 3211 on the anti-slipping member 312 can be reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the anti-slipping member 312, the elastic arm 321 and the hook 322.

[0053] For some examples, see Figure 3 The minimum distance between the anti-slipping member 312 and the end surface of the hook 322 radially away from the anti-slipping member 312 is L3, and the maximum distance between the anti-slipping member 312 and the bayonet 311 along the radial direction is L4, wherein L3<L4.

[0054] In this way, the distance between the anti-slip member 312 and the hook 322 radially away from the end face of the anti-slip member 312 can be prevented, resulting in the action of the hook 322 passing through the bayonet 311 being restricted by the anti-slip member 312 and unable to enter the position limited by the anti-slip member 312 and the bayonet 311.

[0055] For some examples, see Figure 3 The surface of the anti-slip member 312 facing the elastic arm 321 is a guiding inclined surface. The end of the surface of the anti-slip member 312 facing the elastic arm 321 close to the first side is inclined radially inward. In this way, it is easy for the hook 322 to pass through the bayonet 311 and enter the inside of the bayonet 311, and the resistance of the anti-slip member 312 to the elastic arm 321 being inserted into the bayonet 311 can be reduced.

[0056] For some examples, see Figure 8 Each bayonet 311 is provided with at least two anti-slipping members 312 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction. Exemplarily, the number of anti-slipping members 312 provided on each bayonet 311 may be two, three, four or more than four.

[0057] In this embodiment, by increasing the number of anti-slip members 312 provided for a single bayonet 311 , the limiting effect of the anti-slip member 312 on the hook 322 can be improved, thereby reducing the possibility of the hook 322 slipping out of the bayonet 311 .

[0058] For some examples, see Figure 3 The clamping structure 30 includes a reinforcing rib 33 , and the reinforcing rib 33 is connected to a side surface of the elastic arm 321 radially away from the hook 322 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 33 is used to strengthen the structural strength of the elastic arm 321, which can reduce the possibility of the elastic arm 321 being damaged and broken after being inserted into the bayonet 311. It can be understood that the reinforcing rib 33 and the anti-slip member 312 are located on the same side relative to the hook 322, which can reduce interference with the insertion of the elastic arm 321 into the bayonet 311.

[0060] In some embodiments, one of the decorative ring 20 and the assembly 12 forms a positioning column 21, and the other of the decorative ring 20 and the assembly 12 forms a positioning groove 12a, and the positioning column 21 is accommodated in the positioning groove 12a. The positioning column 21 can further improve the speed of aligning the decorative ring 20 and the assembly 12, improve the installation speed, and reduce the difficulty of assembly.

[0061] For example, see Fig.15 and Fig.16 The decorative ring 20 forms a positioning column 21. The assembly body 12 is formed with a positioning groove 12a, and the positioning column 21 is accommodated in the positioning groove 12a.

[0062] The present application also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit 200, see Fig.17 , including the ventilation mesh assembly 100 in any one of the embodiments of the present application.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, comprising the above-mentioned air conditioner outdoor unit 200.

[0064] The air conditioner may further include an air conditioner indoor unit, and the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 200 may be connected via a refrigerant pipe.
