Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a top cover of an air conditioner outdoor unit, a shell component, an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner, which are beneficial to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. Background Art

[0002] The air conditioner includes an outdoor unit, which includes an outer shell assembly, which includes a base, side panels, a top cover and an electrical box. The side panels are erected on the base, and the top cover is supported on the side panels. Generally, the base, side panels and top cover are sheet metal parts, while the electrical box is an injection molded part. During assembly, the electrical box needs to be fixed to the lower side of the top cover with screws first, and then the top cover needs to be fixed to the side panels.

[0003] The problem with the existing air-conditioning outdoor unit is that the top cover is a sheet metal part, the top cover mold structure design is complex, the mold cost is high and the production process is numerous, resulting in high production costs; and the electrical box using injection molding is independent of the top cover, resulting in a large number of parts in the split outdoor unit, complex production process, low production efficiency and many parts, resulting in increased production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The first purpose of the utility model is to provide a top cover of an air-conditioning outdoor unit formed by integral injection molding, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0005] The second object of the utility model is to provide a shell assembly of an air conditioner outdoor unit which is beneficial to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0006] The third object of the utility model is to provide an air-conditioning outdoor unit which is beneficial to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0007] A fourth object of the present utility model is to provide an air conditioner which is beneficial to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0008] The first purpose of the utility model provides a top cover of an air conditioner outdoor unit, which includes a top cover body and an electrical box; the top cover body and the electrical box are integrally injection molded, the electrical box is combined with the lower side of the top cover body, and the electrical box extends vertically and opens horizontally.

[0009] It can be seen from the above scheme that the utility model designs the top cover as an injection molded part, which improves production efficiency and reduces production costs; further considering that the electrical box is an injection molded part, the top cover and the electrical box are integrally injection molded, which not only improves the strength of the injection molded top cover, but also helps to improve the production efficiency of the top cover and the electrical box. After the parts in the electrical box are pre-installed, the top cover and the electrical box can be automatically assembled from top to bottom. At this time, since the electrical box opens horizontally and faces the opening of the side panel that has not yet been installed, the staff can easily complete the wiring action at this position, and then install the side panel to complete the production of the whole machine, further reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0010] A further solution is that a reinforcing rib network is provided on the lower side of the top cover body.

[0011] As can be seen from the above, setting a reinforcing rib network on the lower side can strengthen the structural strength of the top cover body and ensure that the top cover meets the requirements of stepping on and falling.

[0012] A further solution is that the electrical box is connected to the reinforcing rib network.

[0013] As can be seen from the above, this arrangement can improve the bonding strength between the electrical box and the top cover body.

[0014] In another further solution, the top cover body includes a top wall and a peripheral wall, the peripheral wall extends downward from the top wall, and a reinforcing rib network is connected between the top wall and the peripheral wall.

[0015] Another further solution is that the reinforcement network includes a plurality of reinforcements connected in a criss-cross pattern.

[0016] As can be seen from the above, providing a peripheral wall and connecting the peripheral wall with a reinforcing rib network, or providing the reinforcing rib network with multiple staggered reinforcing ribs, can greatly improve the mechanical properties of the top cover in multiple directions, further improve the overall strength of the top cover, and improve product quality and safety.

[0017] A further solution is that the top wall is bent to form a convex ridge protruding downward, and the convex ridge is connected to the reinforcing rib network.

[0018] As can be seen from the above, this arrangement can further increase the compressive and bending strength of the top wall itself, and increase the degree of connection with the reinforcing rib network, further improving the overall strength of the top cover body.

[0019] Another further solution is that the electrical appliance box is disposed laterally in the opening direction of the electrical appliance box.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, this arrangement allows the electrical box to be located away from the main components of the outdoor unit and can form a wiring space on one side of the electrical box.

[0021] A further solution is that the housing assembly further includes a box cover, and the box cover covers the electrical box along the opening direction of the electrical box.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, since the side panel opposite to the wiring space is installed last, the box cover can be easily disassembled and assembled from the wiring space in the horizontal direction.

[0023] The second object of the utility model provides a shell assembly of an air-conditioning outdoor unit, which includes side panels and a top cover. The side panels support the top cover, and the top cover adopts the above-mentioned top cover.

[0024] A further solution is that a wiring space is formed between the electrical box and a side panel in the opening direction of the electrical box.

[0025] It can be seen from the above scheme that the utility model designs the originally separate top cover into an injection molded part, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs; further considering that the electrical box is an injection molded part, the top cover and the electrical box are integrally injection molded, which not only improves the strength of the injection molded top cover, but also helps to improve the production efficiency of the top cover and the electrical box. After the parts in the electrical box are pre-installed, the top cover and the electrical box can be automatically assembled from top to bottom. At this time, since the electrical box opens horizontally and faces the opening of the side panel that has not yet been installed, the staff can easily complete the wiring action at this position, and then install the side panel to complete the production of the whole machine, further reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0026] The third object of the utility model is to provide an air-conditioning outdoor unit comprising the above-mentioned housing assembly.

[0027] The fourth object of the utility model is an air conditioner comprising the above-mentioned air conditioner outdoor unit. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
