[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the descriptions involving orientation, such as the orientation or positional relationship indicated as up, down, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0038] In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality" refers to two or more than two. If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0040] Some air conditioner outdoor units have a temperature sensor installed on the outside of the heat exchanger, such as the air inlet side of the heat exchanger. The temperature sensor is used to detect the ambient temperature near the air conditioner outdoor unit and feed it back to the air conditioner. The air conditioner can intelligently adjust the working mode according to the fed-back ambient temperature, so that the air conditioner can be in a better working mode and avoid a high-energy-consuming working mode, which is beneficial to saving energy and extending the service life of the air conditioner. In the prior art, the temperature sensor is generally fixed to a fixing member, and the fixing member is directly inserted between two adjacent fins of the heat exchanger.

[0041] Such a configuration not only makes the fixings unstable in installation, but also squeezes the fins of the heat exchanger, which can easily cause the fins of the heat exchanger to bend, deform, or even break. In addition, the fixings are inserted into the heat exchanger, which can easily make the temperature sensor too close to the heat exchanger. When the temperature sensor detects the outdoor ambient temperature, the high temperature generated by the heat exchanger will interfere with the detection of the temperature sensor. In addition, the temperature sensor of some air-conditioning outdoor units is directly exposed to the outside. When the temperature sensor detects the outdoor ambient temperature, it is easily interfered by external environment such as sunlight, which affects the detection accuracy of the temperature sensor. In addition, the existing fixings are not convenient for disassembling the temperature sensor, which makes it inconvenient to repair or replace the temperature sensor.

[0042] Therefore, the utility model proposes an air-conditioning outdoor unit and an air conditioner, which can effectively improve the above problems.

[0043] Reference below Figures 1 to 7 An air-conditioning outdoor unit and an air-conditioner according to embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0044] According to the air conditioner outdoor unit of the first embodiment of the utility model, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a housing 100 , a heat exchanger 200 , a fixing member 300 and a temperature sensing probe 400 .

[0045] Among them, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the casing 100 is the overall supporting structure of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the heat exchanger 200, the compressor and other components are installed in the casing 100. The side panels of the casing 100, such as the front side panels, can be made of sheet metal or other suitable materials.

[0046] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the heat exchanger 200 is installed in the casing 100. The heat exchanger 200 can be an evaporator or a condenser. The outdoor air enters the air-conditioning outdoor unit from the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 200. The air exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 200 when passing through the heat exchanger 200. The air after heat exchange is discharged to the outdoor environment again. The heat exchanger 200 is a common component of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, and its structure and working principle are not repeated here.

[0047] refer to Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the fixing member 300 includes a mounting portion 301 and a cover portion 302. The mounting portion 301 is connected to the casing 100. For example, the mounting portion 301 can be connected to the front side panel of the casing 100, that is, the side panel of the casing 100 facing away from the indoor space. The mounting portion 301 can be snap-fitted to the casing 100, connected by fasteners, welded or other suitable methods, and the cover portion 302 is connected to the mounting portion 301.

[0048] refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the temperature probe 400 is used to detect the ambient temperature near the outside of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The temperature probe 400 can be connected to a wire 401, and the wire 401 can be connected to the controller of the air conditioner so as to transmit the detected ambient temperature information to the controller of the air conditioner. The temperature probe 400 is also a temperature sensor, and its structure and working principle are not described in detail here.

[0049] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7As shown, the cover 302 has a first state and a second state. When the cover 302 is in the first state, the cover 302 covers the mounting portion 301 and encloses the mounting portion 301 to form a receiving cavity 303. The receiving cavity 303 can be adapted to the temperature sensing probe 400. For example, when the temperature sensing probe 400 is close to a cylindrical shape, the receiving cavity 303 can be roughly cylindrical, and both ends of the receiving cavity 303 can be penetrated to facilitate ventilation. The temperature sensing probe 400 is installed in the receiving cavity 303. In this case, the temperature sensing probe 400 can be located outside the heat exchanger 200, such as the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 200, and the temperature sensing probe 400 is spaced apart from the heat exchanger 200. When the cover 302 is in the second state, the cover 302 opens the mounting portion 301 to reveal the temperature sensing probe 400, thereby facilitating the removal of the temperature sensing probe 400.

[0050] In this embodiment, the temperature sensing probe 400 is installed in the accommodating cavity 303 of the fixing member 300, and the fixing member 300 is installed on the housing 100 through the mounting portion 301. Compared with directly inserting the fixing member 300 into the heat exchanger 200, not only the fixing member 300 is installed more firmly, but also the fixing member 300 can be prevented from damaging the heat exchanger 200. In addition, a suitable distance can be provided between the temperature sensing probe 400 and the heat exchanger 200, thereby reducing the interference of the high temperature generated by the heat exchanger 200 on the detection of the temperature sensing probe 400. The temperature sensing probe 400 is located at the bottom of the heat exchanger 200. In the accommodating cavity 303, the interference of external environment such as sunlight on the detection of the temperature sensing probe 400 can be reduced, so that the temperature detected by the temperature sensing probe 400 is closer to the actual temperature of the outdoor environment, and the detection result is more accurate. Finally, when the temperature sensing probe 400 needs to be repaired or replaced, the cover body 302 is adjusted to the second state, and then the temperature sensing probe 400 is removed. After the repair or replacement is completed, the cover body 302 is adjusted to the first state, and the temperature sensing probe 400 is installed in the formed accommodating cavity 303. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0051] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing member 300 is provided with an air hole 304, and when the cover body 302 is in the first state, the air hole 304 is connected to the accommodating cavity 303. For example, there can be one or more air holes 304, and when there are multiple air holes 304, the multiple air holes 304 can be located on the circumference of the accommodating cavity 303, and the air holes 304 can be square holes, round holes, elliptical holes or holes of other suitable shapes. In this embodiment, the air holes 304 are provided to enable air circulation between the accommodating cavity 303 and the outside, so that the temperature detected by the temperature sensing probe 400 can be closer to the actual outdoor temperature, so that the detection of the temperature sensing probe 400 is more accurate.

[0052] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in a further embodiment of the utility model, two groups of air holes 304 are provided. For example, one group of air holes 304 may include a plurality of first air holes 305, and the other group of air holes 304 may include a plurality of second air holes 306. The first air holes 305 are provided on a side wall of the accommodating cavity 303 close to the heat exchanger 200, and the second air holes 306 are provided on a side wall of the accommodating cavity 303 away from the heat exchanger 200.

[0053] For example, one of the first air hole 305 and the second air hole 306 can be arranged on the mounting portion 301, and the other can be arranged on the cover portion 302. When the cover portion 302 is adjusted to the first state, if the cover portion 302 is located on the side of the accommodating cavity 303 close to the heat exchanger 200, the first air hole 305 is arranged on the cover portion 302, and the second air hole 306 is arranged on the mounting portion 301. If the cover portion 302 is located on the side of the accommodating cavity 303 away from the heat exchanger 200, the first air hole 305 is arranged on the mounting portion 301, and the second air hole 306 is arranged on the cover portion 302.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first air hole 305 and the second air hole 306 are respectively located on the side of the accommodating cavity 303 close to the heat exchanger 200 and the side away from the heat exchanger 200. With such an arrangement, when outdoor air enters the heat exchanger 200, the air can smoothly pass through the accommodating cavity 303, thereby improving the air circulation effect between the accommodating cavity 303 and the outside, and thus enabling the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 400 to be closer to the actual outdoor temperature, thereby further improving the performance of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0055] refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in a further embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first air holes 305 are arranged along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400, and a plurality of second air holes 306 are arranged along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400. Such an arrangement makes the air circulation effect between the accommodating cavity 303 and the outside better.

[0056] refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in a further embodiment of the present invention, both the first air hole 305 and the second air hole 306 extend along the circumference of the temperature probe 400, and the second air hole 306, that is, the air hole 304 on the side of the accommodating cavity 303 away from the heat exchanger 200, extends at an angle less than or equal to 90 degrees along the circumference of the temperature probe 400. For example, the angle at which the second air hole 306 extends along the circumference of the temperature probe 400 may be 90 degrees, 80 degrees, 70 degrees, or other suitable angles.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first air hole 305 and the second air hole 306 both extend along the circumference of the temperature probe 400, so that the air circulation effect between the accommodating cavity 303 and the outside is better. The angle of the second air hole 306 extending along the circumference of the temperature probe 400 is less than or equal to 90 degrees, thereby ensuring the air circulation effect while reducing the interference of sunlight on the temperature probe 400, thereby making the temperature detected by the temperature probe 400 closer to the actual outdoor temperature.

[0058] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, further, the side surface of the heat exchanger 200 close to the temperature probe 400 is the front side surface, and the air hole 304 on the side of the accommodating cavity 303 away from the heat exchanger 200, that is, the second air hole 306 is staggered with the positive projection of the axis of the temperature probe 400 on the front side surface.

[0059] The second vent hole 306 is staggered from the orthographic projection of the axis of the temperature sensing probe 400 on the front side of the heat exchanger 200, that is, along Figure 1 In the front-to-back direction of the housing 100 shown, the projection of the second air hole 306 on the front side of the heat exchanger 200 is located on one side or both sides of the projection of the axis of the temperature probe 400 on the front side of the heat exchanger 200. In this embodiment, such an arrangement can further reduce the interference of sunlight on the temperature probe 400 while ensuring the air circulation effect, thereby making the temperature detected by the temperature probe 400 closer to the actual outdoor temperature.

[0060] refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, one of the mounting portion 301 and the cover portion 302 is provided with a first groove 307 , and the other is provided with a second groove 308 . When the cover portion 302 is in the first state, the first groove 307 and the second groove 308 constitute the accommodating cavity 303 .

[0061] For example, the mounting portion 301 may be provided with a first groove 307, and the cover portion 302 may be provided with a second groove 308. The first groove 307 and the second groove 308 may both be arc-shaped grooves. The first groove 307 and the second groove 308 may both extend along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400. Both ends of the first groove 307 and the second groove 308 in the extension direction may be provided through. When the cover portion 302 is in the first state, the first groove 307 and the second groove 308 are spliced ​​to form the accommodating cavity 303. In this embodiment, the first groove 307 and the second groove 308 are provided, which not only makes the installation of the temperature sensing probe 400 more convenient, but also makes the molding effect of the accommodating cavity 303 better, thereby making the installation of the temperature sensing probe 400 more stable.

[0062] It should be noted that in some other embodiments of the present invention, one of the mounting portion 301 and the cover portion 302 may be provided with a groove, and when the cover portion 302 is in the first state, the other directly covers the groove to form the accommodating cavity 303 .

[0063] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a further embodiment of the utility model, the first groove 307 is respectively provided with a first abutment structure at both ends along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400, and the first abutment structure may include a plurality of first abutment portions 309, for example, including two, three or other numbers of first abutment portions 309, and the plurality of first abutment portions 309 are arranged along the circumference of the temperature sensing probe 400, and the first abutment portions 309 abut against the temperature sensing probe 400.

[0064] In this embodiment, a plurality of first abutting portions 309 are provided at both ends of the first groove 307 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400. When the temperature sensing probe 400 is installed, the first abutting portions 309 can abut the outer side walls at both ends of the temperature sensing probe 400, thereby reducing the sliding and shaking of the temperature sensing probe 400, making the installation of the temperature sensing probe 400 more stable, and also making a gap between the temperature sensing probe 400 and the side wall of the first groove 307, thereby making the air circulation effect in the accommodating cavity 303 better, thereby making the detection of the temperature sensing probe 400 more accurate. In addition, the plurality of first abutting portions 309 at the same end of the first groove 307 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the temperature sensing probe 400, which not only makes the installation of the temperature sensing probe 400 more stable, but also makes the air circulation at the end of the accommodating cavity 303 better, thereby making the detection of the temperature sensing probe 400 more accurate.

[0065] It is understandable that the first abutment portion 309 may also be provided at both ends of the second groove 308 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400 , or both ends of the first groove 307 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400 and both ends of the second groove 308 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400 may be provided with a first abutment portion 309 .

[0066] refer to Figure 7 As shown, in a further embodiment of the utility model, a second abutment structure is provided between the two ends of the first groove 307 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400, and the second abutment structure includes a plurality of second abutment portions 310, for example, may include two, three or other numbers of second abutment portions 310, and the plurality of second abutment portions 310 are arranged along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400, and the second abutment portions 310 may extend along the circumference of the temperature sensing probe 400, and the second abutment portions 310 abut against the temperature sensing probe 400.

[0067] In this embodiment, a plurality of second abutting portions 310 are provided between the two ends of the first groove 307 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400. When the temperature sensing probe 400 is installed, the second abutting portions 310 can abut against the outer wall of the middle portion of the temperature sensing probe 400, thereby further reducing the sliding and shaking of the temperature sensing probe 400, thereby making the installation of the temperature sensing probe 400 more stable.

[0068] It should be noted that the second abutment portion 310 may also be provided between the two ends of the second groove 308 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400, or a second abutment portion 310 may be provided between the two ends of the first groove 307 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400 and between the two ends of the second groove 308 along the length direction of the temperature sensing probe 400.

[0069] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the temperature sensing probe 400 is located at the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 200, and the minimum distance between the temperature sensing probe 400 and the heat exchanger 200 is L, which satisfies: 15mm≤L≤50mm.

[0070] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 400 is located on the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 200, so that the temperature sensor 400 can detect the ambient temperature on the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 200, so that the air conditioner can make more accurate feedback adjustments based on the detected results.

[0071] The minimum distance between the temperature sensing probe 400 and the heat exchanger 200 is greater than or equal to 15 mm and less than or equal to 50 mm. For example, the minimum distance between the temperature sensing probe 400 and the heat exchanger 200 can be 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm or other suitable values. In this way, it is not only possible to prevent the temperature sensing probe 400 from being too close to the heat exchanger 200, which may cause the high temperature heat generated by the heat exchanger 200 to interfere with the detection of the temperature sensing probe 400, but also possible to prevent the distance between the temperature sensing probe 400 and the heat exchanger 200 from being too large to accurately detect the temperature near the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 200, thereby making the ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensing probe 400 more accurate, thereby further improving the performance of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0072] refer to Figures 5 to 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cover body 302 is rotatably connected to the mounting portion 301, and the cover body 302 can be rotated to a first state and a second state. When the cover body 302 is in the first state, the side of the cover body 302 away from the mounting portion 301 can be detachably connected to the mounting portion 301. For example, an elastic thin wall or a flexible thin wall can be provided between the side of the cover body 302 close to the mounting portion 301 and the mounting portion 301, and the elastic thin wall or the flexible thin wall can be bent and deformed, so that the cover body 302 can be rotated relative to the mounting portion 301. One of the side of the cover body 302 away from the mounting portion 301 and the mounting portion 301 can be provided with a third buckle 314, and the other can be provided with a slot 315. When the cover body 302 is in the first state, the third buckle 314 is clamped in the slot 315.

[0079] For example, both the first buckle 312 and the second buckle 313 can be provided on the mounting portion 301, the first buckle 312 can be provided with one, the second buckle 313 can be provided with two, the two second buckles 313 can be located on the side of the first buckle 312 away from the cover portion 302, the second buckle 313 can extend in the left-right direction of the housing 100, the first buckle 312 can extend in the height direction of the housing 100, the locking hole 101 can be provided on the housing 100 and provided with three, the first buckle 312 and the two second buckles 313 are respectively locked in the three locking holes 101. In this embodiment, such a configuration makes the mounting portion 301 more firmly connected to the housing 100, and the mounting portion 301 is convenient to disassemble.

[0080] It is understandable that there may be two or more first buckles 312, and there may be three or more second buckles 313. The clamping portion 311 may also be other suitable structures, for example, there may be only one buckle, which will not be described in detail here.

[0081] The air conditioner according to the second embodiment of the utility model comprises the air conditioner outdoor unit of the first embodiment. For example, the air conditioner may also comprise an air conditioner indoor unit connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0082] By adopting the air conditioner outdoor unit of the first embodiment of the utility model, the temperature probe 400 is installed in the accommodating cavity 303 of the fixing member 300, and the fixing member 300 is installed in the housing 100 through the mounting portion 301. Compared with directly inserting the fixing member 300 into the heat exchanger 200, not only the fixing member 300 is installed more firmly, but also the fixing member 300 can be prevented from damaging the heat exchanger 200. In addition, a suitable distance can be provided between the temperature probe 400 and the heat exchanger 200, thereby reducing the interference of the high temperature heat generated by the heat exchanger 200 on the detection of the temperature probe 400. Interference, the temperature sensing probe 400 is located in the accommodating cavity 303, which can reduce the interference of external environment such as sunlight on the detection of the temperature sensing probe 400, so that the temperature detected by the temperature sensing probe 400 is closer to the actual temperature of the outdoor environment, and the detection result is more accurate. Finally, when the temperature sensing probe 400 needs to be repaired or replaced, the cover body 302 is adjusted to the second state, and then the temperature sensing probe 400 is removed. After the repair or replacement is completed, the cover body 302 is adjusted to the first state, and the temperature sensing probe 400 is installed in the accommodating cavity 303. The operation is simple and convenient.
