The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0052] Please refer to the following Figure 1-13 An air conditioner outdoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes: a housing 10, a heat exchanger 30 and a water valve assembly 40.

[0054] Specifically, the shell 10 includes a side plate 11; the heat exchanger 30 is arranged in the shell 10, and has a water-cooling channel and a refrigerant channel for mutual heat exchange; the water valve assembly 40 is arranged in the shell 10 and fixed on the side plate 11, and the water valve assembly 40 includes at least one water valve connected to the water-cooling channel, that is, the water valve assembly 40 may include one, two or three or more water valves connected to the water-cooling channel.

[0055] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side panels 11 enclose a shell 10, the heat exchanger 30 is arranged inside the shell 10, liquid is arranged in the water-cooling channel, and refrigerant is arranged in the refrigerant channel. The liquid in the water-cooling channel can achieve heat exchange with the refrigerant in the refrigerant channel, and the water valve on the water valve assembly 40 is connected to the water-cooling channel, so as to control the opening and closing of the water-cooling channel.

[0056] Before the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 is operated, the water valve of the water valve assembly 40 is opened, and the liquid can flow into the water cooling channel through the water valve. After the liquid is filled, the water valve is closed. At this time, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 is operated, and the liquid in the water cooling channel and the refrigerant in the refrigerant channel exchange heat, thereby realizing the cooling or heating function of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0057] The air conditioner outdoor unit 100 of the utility model fixes the water valve assembly 40 on the side panel 11, so that the water valve assembly 40 can be stably fixed in one position. When the water valve assembly 40 is inspected and repaired, the position of the water valve can be conveniently and efficiently located, thereby saving the inspection and repair time of the water valve assembly 40 and facilitating the maintenance of the water valve assembly 40. At the same time, even if the water valve assembly 40 includes multiple water valves, the multiple water valves are fixed to the side panel 11, which can improve the orderliness of the arrangement of the water valve assembly 40, and can effectively avoid the problem of multiple water valves being randomly placed and occupying the internal space of the shell 10, thereby ensuring the rationality of the setting position of the water valve assembly 40. Furthermore, the modular arrangement of the water valve assembly 40 and the side panel 11 can improve the integration of the side panel 11, and facilitate the installation and transportation of the water valve assembly 40 and the side panel 11 as an integral component.

[0058] According to the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the water valve assembly 40 is fixed on the side panel 11, which can conveniently and efficiently locate the position of the water valve, thereby saving the inspection time of the water valve assembly 40 and facilitating the maintenance of the water valve assembly 40. At the same time, the rationality of the setting position of the water valve assembly 40 can be ensured, and the integration of the side panel 11 can be improved.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 10 includes a plurality of side panels 11 connected end to end, one of the plurality of side panels 11 is formed as a first side panel 20, and the water valve assembly 40 is fixedly connected to the first side panel 20. Thus, the plurality of side panels 11 can protect the internal structure of the housing 10 from multiple sides, thereby preventing the internal components of the housing 10 from being damaged. Furthermore, the water valve assembly 40 is fixed to the first side panel 20, and no other structure is required to fix the water valve assembly 40 in the housing 10. This arrangement is reasonable and can save the use of parts and reduce production costs.

[0060] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 includes six side panels 11 connected in the front, the six side panels 11 enclose a rectangular box body, the side panel 11 on the rear side is formed as a first side panel 20, and the water valve assembly 40 is fixedly connected to the first side panel 20.

[0061] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig.10 The first side plate 20 is provided with a first positioning structure, and the first positioning structure is used to locate the installation position of the water valve assembly 40 on the first side plate 20. Thus, the accuracy of the installation position of the water valve assembly 40 on the first side plate 20 can be ensured, and at the same time, it can be judged whether the water valve assembly 40 is installed in place according to the first positioning structure, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the water valve assembly 40.

[0062] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig.10 The first positioning structure includes a first positioning hole 23 and a second positioning hole 24. The first positioning hole 23 and the second positioning hole 24 are arranged at intervals. The first positioning hole 23 and the second positioning hole 24 are arranged along the thickness direction of the first side plate 20 (such as Fig.10 The first side plate 20 is shown in the front-to-back direction of the first side plate 20 as shown in the figure. Thus, the first positioning hole 23 cooperates with the second positioning hole 24 to ensure the accuracy of the installation position of the water valve assembly 40 on the first side plate 20, thereby ensuring the installation efficiency of the water valve assembly 40.

[0063] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the first positioning hole 23 is provided at the upper left side of the first side plate 20 , and the second positioning hole 24 is provided at the lower side of the first positioning hole 23 . Both the first positioning hole 23 and the second positioning hole 24 penetrate the first side plate 20 along the front-to-back direction.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The water valve assembly 40 is provided with a first fixing hole 46, and the first side plate 20 is provided with a second fixing hole 25 corresponding to the first fixing hole 46. The water valve assembly 40 is fixed to the first side plate 20 by fasteners passing through the first fixing hole 46 and the second fixing hole 25 in sequence. Thus, the fasteners can ensure the reliability of the connection between the water valve assembly 40 and the first side plate 20, thereby effectively preventing the water valve assembly 40 from being separated from the first side plate 20. At the same time, the fastening connection of the fasteners can facilitate the later maintenance and replacement of the water valve assembly 40, so that there is no need to replace the entire air conditioner outdoor unit 100 when the water valve assembly 40 is damaged, thereby reducing the use cost.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 and Fig. 9 , the number of water valves is multiple, that is, the number of water valves can be two, three or four or more, and the multiple water valves are connected and communicated in sequence. Thus, the multiple water valves can realize the control of different performance parameters of the water cooling channel, so that different water valves can be controlled according to actual needs to realize the control of the liquid inlet in the water cooling channel. For example, Figure 4 and Fig. 9 As shown, there are two water valves, and the two water valves are connected and communicated in sequence.

[0066] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 and Fig. 9 The water valve assembly 40 includes: a first joint 44 and a second joint 45, which are respectively connected to opposite ends of a plurality of water valves, the first joint 44 is connected to an external water pipe, and the second joint 45 is connected to a water cooling channel. Thus, the first joint 44, the second joint 45 and the plurality of water valves cooperate to allow the outside to communicate with the water cooling channel through the water valve assembly 40, thereby enabling liquid to enter the water cooling channel.

[0067] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 and Fig. 9 The water valve assembly 40 includes: a connecting pipe 43, which is arranged between the water valve and the second joint 45, and the connecting pipe 43 communicates with the water valve and the second joint 45. Therefore, the connecting pipe 43 can extend the length of the water valve assembly 40, so that the water valve assembly 40 can be conveniently connected to the water cooling channel through the second joint 45. At the same time, the connecting pipe 43 is provided, and there is no need to lengthen the length of the water valve to meet the connection requirement of the second joint 45 with the water cooling channel. Therefore, the connection between the water valve assembly 40 and the water cooling channel can be convenient, and the processing difficulty of the water valve can also be reduced.

[0068] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 and Fig. 9 The water valve includes a solenoid valve 41 and a flow valve 42. The solenoid valve 41 is connected to the flow valve 42, and the flow valve 42 is arranged at the downstream side of the solenoid valve 41. The solenoid valve 41 is far away from one end of the water cooling channel (such as Fig. 9 The upper end of the solenoid valve 41 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the first connector 44, and the end of the flow valve 42 away from the solenoid valve 41 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The lower end of the flow valve 42 shown in the figure is connected to the connecting pipe 43.

[0069] In this way, the solenoid valve 41 can control the opening and closing of the water valve assembly 40, and the flow valve 42 can control the size of the liquid flow in the water valve assembly 40, so that the parameters of the liquid inlet of the water cooling channel can be adjusted according to actual needs. At the same time, the solenoid valve 41 and the flow valve 42 are reasonably set in position, which can ensure that the liquid inlet flow is adjusted when the water valve assembly 40 is opened. The setting form of the solenoid valve 41 and the flow valve 42 matches the actual working conditions, so as to ensure the normal operation of the water valve assembly 40. Furthermore, the end of the solenoid valve 41 is connected to the first joint 44, so that the external water directly enters the solenoid valve 41 after passing through the first joint 44, and the end of the flow valve 42 is connected to the second joint 45. When the solenoid valve 41 is opened, the liquid controlled by the flow valve 42 can flow into the water cooling channel through the second joint 45.

[0070] For example, Figure 4 and Fig. 9 As shown, the solenoid valve 41 is arranged on the upstream side of the flow valve 42, the upper end of the solenoid valve 41 is connected to the first joint 44, the first joint 44 is connected to the outside, the flow valve 42 is arranged at the lower end of the solenoid valve 41, the lower end of the flow valve 42 is connected to the connecting pipe 43, the lower end of the connecting pipe 43 is connected to the second joint 45, and the second joint 45 is connected to the water cooling channel. When the water cooling channel needs to be filled with liquid, the liquid first flows into the solenoid valve 41 through the first joint 44. After the solenoid valve 41 is opened, the liquid flows into the flow valve 42 through the solenoid valve 41. After the flow valve 42 adjusts the liquid flow cross section, the liquid flows into the water cooling channel through the connecting pipe 43 and the second joint 45 in sequence.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Fig.12 and Fig.13 The air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes a waterproof cover 50, which is connected to the first side plate 20 and is located in the housing 10. The waterproof cover 50 cooperates with the first side plate 20 to define an installation space, and the water valve assembly 40 is arranged in the installation space. Therefore, the waterproof cover 50 can limit the water valve assembly 40 in the installation space, and when the water valve assembly 40 leaks, it can form a blocking effect on the liquid sprayed from the water valve assembly 40, thereby effectively preventing the liquid from splashing to the internal structure of the housing 10, thereby protecting the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and improving the safety of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0072] For example, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the waterproof cover 50 is disposed on a side of the first side plate 20 facing the inside of the housing 10 , and an installation space for the water outlet valve assembly 40 is defined between the waterproof cover 50 and the first side plate 20 .

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4The heat exchanger 30 is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger 30, and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes: a support plate 60, the support plate 60 is connected to the shell 10, and the heat exchanger 30 is supported on the support plate 60. Therefore, the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 30 can integrate the water cooling channel and the refrigerant channel, so as to facilitate the heat exchange between the water cooling channel and the refrigerant channel, and at the same time, it can also save the heat exchange time and improve the heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the support plate 60 can provide support for the heat exchanger 30, so that the heat exchanger 30 can be fixed at a certain position, thereby preventing the heat exchanger 30 from being randomly piled up in the shell 10, affecting the orderliness of the internal structure setting of the shell 10.

[0074] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the shell and tube heat exchanger 30 is arranged in the shell 10, and the shell and tube heat exchanger 30 is arranged in the shell 10 along the up and down direction around the circumference of the shell 10, the lower end of the shell and tube heat exchanger 30 is connected to the second joint 45, the support plate 60 is arranged vertically, the support plate 60 is arranged on the radial inner side of the shell and tube heat exchanger 30, the support plate 60 is arranged vertically, the bottom of the support plate 60 is fixed to the shell 10, and the side of the support plate 60 is fixed to the shell and tube heat exchanger 30. Preferably, the support plate 60 is welded to the shell and tube heat exchanger 30, so that the connection strength between the shell and tube heat exchanger 30 and the support plate 60 can be ensured.

[0075] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes: a fixing plate 70, the fixing plate 70 is fixedly connected to the support plate 60, and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 also includes: a high-pressure valve 91 and a low-pressure valve 92, the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92 are arranged in the shell 10 and fixed on the fixing plate 70, and are connected to the refrigerant channel. Therefore, the fixing plate 70 can provide a fixed position for the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92, which is convenient for fixing the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92. At the same time, the high-pressure valve 91 controls the refrigerant to accurately measure and limit the flow before entering the air conditioner indoor unit from the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and the low-pressure valve 92 can play a role in reducing the liquid transmission in the return air pipeline and stabilizing the return air temperature. Therefore, the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92 can ensure the normal refrigerant transmission between the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0076] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate 70 is vertically arranged, the high-pressure valve 91 is arranged on the upper side of the low-pressure valve 92 , and both the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92 are fixed on the fixing plate 70 .

[0077] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3, the side plate 11 provided with the water valve assembly 40 is formed into a first side plate 20, and a through hole 26 is provided on the first side plate 20, and the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92 are exposed from the position of the through hole 26. Therefore, the through hole 26 is provided, which can facilitate the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92 to pass through the through hole 26 to connect with external components, thereby ensuring the rationality of the structural design of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. At the same time, the through hole 26 is provided on the first side plate 20, which can further improve the functional integration of the first side plate 20. In addition, compared with the solution in the prior art that the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92 are arranged on the outer surface of the shell 10, the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92 of the present application are arranged in the shell 10, and do not occupy the space outside the shell 10, thereby reducing the volume of the shell 10, facilitating the installation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and effectively improving the overall fit rate.

[0078] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air conditioner outdoor unit 100 further includes: a connecting plate 80, one end of the connecting plate 80 (such as Figure 2 The rear end of the connecting plate 80 shown in FIG. 8 is fixed to the first side plate 20, and the other end of the connecting plate 80 (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The front end of the connecting plate 80 shown in the figure extends toward the inside of the housing 10 and is connected to the fixing plate 70. Thus, the connecting plate 80 is connected to the fixing plate 70, which can strengthen the connection strength between the first side plate 20 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and prevent the first side plate 20 from being separated from the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. At the same time, the connecting plate 80 extends obliquely so that the connecting plate 80 can fit with the fixing plate 70, thereby facilitating the fixing between the connecting plate 80 and the fixing plate 70.

[0079] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting plate 80 extends obliquely from the right front to the left rear, the rear end of the connecting plate 80 is connected to the first side plate 20, the front end of the connecting plate 80 extends obliquely from the left rear to the right front toward the inside of the housing 10, and the connecting plate 80 is attached to and connected to the rear surface of the fixing plate 70. Preferably, as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting plate 80 is screwed to the fixing plate 70 , which can ensure the connection strength between the connecting plate 80 and the fixing plate 70 and effectively prevent the connecting plate 80 from being separated from the fixing plate 70 .

[0080] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 , the connecting plate 80 is connected by snapping with the fixing plate 70. Thus, the snap-on connection is simple and easy to operate, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, it can be determined whether the connecting plate 80 and the fixing plate 70 are connected in place, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency.

[0081] For example, Figure 3As shown, a clamping column is provided on the connecting plate 80, and a clamping hole is provided on the fixing plate 70. The clamping column cooperates with the clamping hole to realize the clamping connection between the connecting plate 80 and the fixing plate 70. In addition, the double connection between the connecting plate 80 and the fixing plate 70 through the clamping connection and the screw connection can effectively improve the connection strength between the connecting plate 80 and the fixing plate 70, and effectively prevent the connecting plate 80 from being separated from the fixing plate 70.

[0082] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting plate 80 is arranged between the through hole 26 and the high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92. The connecting plate 80 is provided with an avoidance hole 81. The high-pressure valve 91 and the low-pressure valve 92 pass through the avoidance hole 81 and are exposed from the through hole 26 to the outside of the housing 10.
