[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of the present application and should not be regarded as an improper limitation on the present application.

[0033] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "height direction", "top", "bottom" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the attached Figure 2 The orientation or position relationship shown in the figure is only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply 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 limiting the embodiments of the present application. The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] This application provides an air conditioner, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner is generally composed of an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit 10. The housing assembly 11 constitutes the outer contour of the air conditioner outdoor unit and is used to install and protect the heat dissipation device and other structures inside the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0035] The shell 111 of the shell assembly 11 is provided with a accommodating cavity 111a, the air conditioner heat dissipation device is arranged in the accommodating cavity 111a, and a wiring port 111b connected to the accommodating cavity 111a is provided on one side of the shell 111, and the wiring harness 15 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 is passed through the wiring port 111b and connected to the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0036] Generally, a valve 14 is provided on one side of the connection port 111 b , and a refrigerant pipe is connected to the valve 14 , thereby connecting the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 and the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0037] Usually, the condensate drain pipe of the air conditioner is connected to the outside together with the refrigerant pipe, and the condensate is directly discharged to the outside. In some countries and regions, laws and regulations prohibit the direct discharge of condensate, so some air conditioners are also provided with a water receiving box specially used to guide condensate, and the condensate is stored in the water receiving box, and the condensate is introduced into the chassis 111c in the housing 111 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 by the water receiving box. The chassis 111c is arranged at the bottom of the housing 111, and is a structure with a certain accommodation space, which can accommodate a certain volume of condensate, and a drainage port is opened on the chassis 111c to regulate drainage.

[0038] The present application provides an air conditioner outdoor unit 10, see Figures 2 to 4 The air conditioner outdoor unit 10 includes a housing assembly 11 and a handle assembly 12. The housing assembly 11 includes a housing 111, the housing 111 has a receiving cavity 111a and a wiring port 111b communicating with the receiving cavity 111a, and the housing 111 includes a bottom plate 111c. The handle assembly 12 includes an integrally structured cover 121, the cover 121 is detachably covered on the outside of the wiring port 111b, and the cover 121 is formed with a water receiving groove 1211, and can guide the liquid in the water receiving groove 1211 to the bottom plate 111c.

[0039] The structure of the housing 111 is not limited here, and is specifically determined according to the structure of the heat dissipation device of the air conditioner.

[0040] The structure of the chassis 111 c is not limited here, and it only needs to have a containing cavity 111 a to contain liquid and to isolate the liquid in the air-conditioning chassis 111 c from the live components in the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 .

[0041] The handle assembly 12 is a component installed on the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 and used to carry the air conditioner outdoor unit 10. The common handle assembly 12 is a component that is separately set on the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 and is only used for holding and carrying. In some cases, the handle assembly 12 can be installed at the wiring port 111b. In this way, in addition to the carrying function, the handle assembly 12 can also cover the wiring port 111b and reduce the possibility of external rainwater entering the wiring port 111b.

[0042] The handle assembly 12 provided in the present application is provided with a cover 121, which is detachably covered on the outside of the wiring port 111b, so that liquids such as rainwater from the outside are difficult to enter and contact the components in the wiring port 111b, thereby achieving a rainproof function. In addition, the cover 121 is formed with a water receiving groove 1211, which serves as a water receiving box for storing condensed water and directing the condensed water into the bottom plate 111c.

[0043] Here, it should be noted that the cover 121 is not only capable of shielding the wiring port 111 b , but also all components on the air conditioner outdoor unit that need to be shielded from rain can be covered and shielded by the cover 121 .

[0044] The specific structure and size of the cover 121 are not limited here. It can just cover the outside of the wiring port 111 b as needed. The cover 121 is as close to the outer shell 111 as possible to reduce the size of the handle assembly 12.

[0045] The setting position of the cover 121 is not limited here, and is specifically determined according to the installation position of the parts to be covered and shielded. Generally speaking, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 needs to shield the wiring port 111b to prevent the internal live parts from being affected by rain. A shielding portion is provided at a position corresponding to the wiring port 111b to shield the wiring port 111b. For some air conditioners with high requirements for waterproof performance, it is necessary to shield the valve 14 at the connection between the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 and the refrigerant pipe. The cover 121 can be extended to the corresponding position of the valve 14 to shield the valve 14.

[0046] The specific structure of the water receiving tank 1211 is not limited here, and it only needs to be a structure that can hold liquid and is connected to the bottom plate 111c. Generally speaking, the bottom surface of the water receiving tank 1211 is higher than the bottom surface of the bottom plate 111c, so that all condensed water in the water receiving tank 1211 can flow to the bottom plate 111c by itself under the action of gravity, without the need to set up an active transport device. Of course, when environmental conditions do not allow, an active transport device such as a water pump can also be set up to extract the condensed water in the water receiving tank 1211 that cannot flow to the bottom plate 111c by itself.

[0047] The handle assembly 12 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided at the wiring port 111b of the housing assembly 11, and the cover 121 of the handle assembly 12 is shielded in areas such as the wiring port 111b that need to be isolated from rainwater, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10. At the same time, the water receiving groove 1211 formed by the cover 121 has the function of a water receiving box, and can guide liquids such as condensed water to the chassis 111c through the water receiving groove 1211, thereby regulating the discharge of air conditioner condensed water. Compared with the prior art by providing a handle and a water receiving box, the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 in the embodiment of the present application can reduce the number of parts, thereby helping to reduce costs and improve assembly efficiency.

[0048] For some examples, see Figures 2 to 8 The shell 121 has an outer surface 121a and an inner surface 121b opposite to each other, and a partial area of ​​the shell 121 is recessed from one side of the inner surface 121b of the shell 121 to one side of the outer surface 121a of the shell 121 to form a receiving groove 1212.

[0049] A partial area of ​​the cover shell 121 is recessed from one side of the inner surface 121b of the cover shell 121 to one side of the outer surface 121a of the cover shell 121 to form the accommodating groove 1212, and the size of the groove 1212 is not limited here. It is specifically set according to the protruding height of the parts that need to be blocked on the outer shell 111 in the direction away from the outer shell 111. The degree of depression of the cover shell 121 is reduced as much as possible while ensuring that the blocked parts can be accommodated. In this way, the volume and mass of the cover shell 121 can be reduced.

[0050] Here, a partial area of ​​the cover shell 121 specifically refers to, for example, the corresponding position of the wiring port 111b on the cover shell 121. Of course, the corresponding positions of other components on the outer shell 111 that need to be covered on the cover shell 121 can also be recessed to form a receiving groove 1212. There is no limitation here, and it is determined specifically according to the components on the outer shell 111 that need to be covered.

[0051] A receiving groove 1212 is formed by recessing a partial area of ​​the cover shell 121 from one side of the inner surface 121b of the cover shell 121 to one side of the outer surface 121a of the cover shell 121. The formed receiving groove 1212 accommodates the components that need to be shielded on the outer shell 111. The cover shell 121 blocks external rainwater and reduces the possibility of rainwater contacting the shielded components. It has a simple structure and good protective performance.

[0052] For some examples, see Figures 2 to 4 The housing assembly 11 further includes a valve mounting plate 112 , which is connected to the housing 111 and located at the lower side of the wiring port 111 b . The valve mounting plate 112 is at least partially disposed in the accommodating groove 1212 .

[0053] The valve mounting plate 112 is a structure located around the valve 14 and used to shield and protect the valve 14. Generally speaking, the valve 14 is located at the lower side of the wiring port 111b, and the valve mounting plate 112 is arranged at the lower side of the wiring port 111b, so that the valve mounting plate 112 is at least partially arranged in the receiving groove 1212, so that the valve 14 can also be shielded by the cover 121 to reduce the possibility of contact with rainwater.

[0054] Here, it should be noted that the valve mounting plate 112 is at least partially disposed in the receiving groove 1212, which means that the exposed portion of the valve 14 on the valve mounting plate 112 is located in the receiving groove 1212 and is blocked by the cover 121. Of course, the cover 121 may also be recessed at a corresponding position of the valve mounting plate 112, so that the valve mounting plate 112 is completely received in the receiving groove 1212.

[0055] In some embodiments, the valve mounting plate 112 may be pre-installed on the cover 121 before installing the handle assembly 12. When the handle assembly 12 is installed, the valve mounting plate 112 is also installed, which helps to reduce the installation process.

[0056] In other embodiments, the valve mounting plate 112 and the cover shell 121 may be formed integrally, that is, a structure is provided on the cover shell 121 at a position corresponding to the valve 14 to serve as the valve mounting plate 112, thereby reducing the number of parts.

[0057] By providing the valve mounting plate 112 and at least partially disposing the valve mounting plate 112 in the receiving groove 1212 , the cover 121 shields the valve 14 , thereby protecting the valve 14 and reducing the possibility of the valve 14 contacting rainwater.

[0058] For some examples, see Figures 2 to 8The bottom wall of the receiving groove 1212 is protrudingly provided with a peripheral edge 1212a, and the peripheral edge 1212a and the groove wall of the receiving groove 1212 define a water receiving groove 1211 and a water receiving port 1213 connected to the water receiving groove 1211. The liquid in the water receiving groove 1211 can be guided to the bottom plate 111c through the water receiving port 1213.

[0059] Here, the protruding direction of the edge 1212a protruding from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 1212 refers to protruding upward along the height direction, so that the edge 1212a and the groove wall of the receiving groove 1212 define the water receiving groove 1211 to contain liquid. The protruding height is not limited here. The higher the protruding height, the larger the volume of the water receiving groove 1211, and the more condensed water the water receiving groove 1211 can store. The specific protruding height is determined according to the amount of condensed water of the air conditioner.

[0060] The specific structure of the water inlet 1213 is not limited here, and it only needs to be able to guide the liquid in the water tank 1211 to the bottom plate 111c through the water inlet 1213.

[0061] The form in which the water inlet 1213 connects the water receiving trough 1211 and the bottom plate 111c is not limited here. For example, the water inlet 1213 itself can extend into the bottom plate 111c, or the water receiving trough 1211 and the bottom plate 111c can be connected through a water-conducting structure such as a water pipe.

[0062] Here, it should be noted that the water inlet 1213 is set at the lowest point of the water receiving groove 1211 as much as possible, so that condensed water can be gathered at the water inlet 1213 under the action of gravity, which is conducive to drainage. The water receiving groove 1211 is not only used to discharge the condensed water of the air conditioner, but also rainwater from the outside that flows into the cover 121 can flow out through the water receiving groove 1211.

[0063] By providing a protruding edge 1212a on the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 1212 to form a water receiving groove 1211, condensed water generated by the air conditioner can be stored in the water receiving groove 1211, and a water receiving port 1213 is provided to connect the water receiving groove 1211 with the chassis 111c. The liquid stored in the water receiving groove 1211 is guided to the chassis 111c through the water receiving port 1213 and then discharged from the chassis 111c, thereby realizing the standardized discharge of condensed water from the air conditioner.

[0064] For some examples, see Figures 2 to 8 A flange 1213a is protruding from at least a portion of the area around the water receiving port 1213 of the cover shell 121, and the flange 1213a extends toward the accommodating cavity 111a to form a water receiving channel 1213b.

[0065] The flange 1213a extends toward the accommodating cavity 111a to form a water receiving channel 1213b, which extends into the bottom plate 111c, so as to guide the liquid in the water receiving tank 1211 into the bottom plate 111c.

[0066] The specific structure of the water receiving channel 1213b is not limited here. For example, it can be a U-shaped semi-enclosed structure extending from the water receiving port 1213 toward the accommodating cavity 111a.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the cover 121 extends toward the side of the chassis 111c and approaches the chassis 111c, the water inlet 1213 extends from the bottom of the cover 121 toward the side of the accommodating chamber 111a to form a flange 1213a, the flange 1213a constitutes a water receiving channel 1213b, the water receiving channel 1213b is a U-shaped semi-enclosed structure, and the end of the water receiving channel 1213b connected to the water inlet 1213 is higher than the end extending to the chassis 111c, so that the liquid is guided to the chassis 111c. When the cover 121 extends toward the side of the chassis 111c and approaches the chassis 111c, it just blocks the valve 14 at the connection of the refrigerant pipe of the shell 111.

[0068] A flange 1213a is protruded from at least part of the area around the water inlet 1213 of the cover shell 121 to form a water receiving channel 1213b to connect the water receiving tank 1211 with the bottom plate 111c. The flange 1213a can be integrally formed with the shell, with a simple structure.

[0069] For some examples, see Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The handle assembly 12 includes a fireproof member 13 disposed on the inner surface 121b of the cover shell 121, and the fireproof member 13 shields the wiring port 111b.

[0070] The material of the fireproof member 13 is not limited here, as long as it has certain fireproof performance.

[0071] The structure of the fireproof member 13 is not limited here, and is specifically determined according to the structure of the wiring port 111b. When a fault and fire occur at the wiring port 111b, the fireproof member 13 blocks the flame from contacting other parts of the handle assembly 12, causing damage to the handle assembly 12.

[0072] By providing the fireproof part 13, the spread of flames when a fire occurs at the wiring port 111b is reduced. In this way, without reducing the fireproof performance, other parts of the handle assembly 12 can be made of lower-cost materials, which is conducive to reducing manufacturing costs.

[0073] For some examples, see Figures 2 to 9Part of the outer edge of the fireproof part 13 is folded in a direction away from the inner surface 121b of the cover shell 121 to form a first flange 131. The inner surface 121b of the cover shell 121 is protrudingly provided with a limiting edge 1214 corresponding to the first flange 131, and the limiting edge 1214 is snap-fitted with the first flange 131.

[0074] Here, the fireproof member 13 is generally made of sheet metal, which is convenient for folding to form the first flange 131. Of course, other materials that are conducive to folding can also be used to manufacture the fireproof member 13.

[0075] The size of the first flange 131 is not limited here, and is specifically determined according to the size of the fireproof component 13, that is, the installation situation.

[0076] The specific structure of the limiting edge 1214 is not limited here, and is specifically determined according to the structure of the first flange 131 .

[0077] The form of the snap-fitting between the limiting edge 1214 and the first flange 131 is not limited here. For example, the first flange 131 may be snap-fitted with the limiting edge 1214 by interference fit within the range defined by the edge, or a snap-fit ​​structure may be provided.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The fireproof member 13 is a sheet metal structure, and a circle of folded edges is provided on the fireproof member 13 to form a first flange 131, and the first flange 131 abuts against the inner surface 121b of the housing 121. The first flange 131 is turned toward the direction away from the inner surface 121b of the housing 121 to form a protruding edge, and the protruding edge is flush with the limiting edge 1214, and a buckle structure is provided on the protruding edge to clamp and fix the protruding edge.

[0079] It should be added here that, in addition to fixing the fireproof part 13, the limiting edge 1214 can also extend into the wiring port 111b, and rainwater entering from the installation gap between the cover 121 and the outer shell 111 can flow downward along the limiting edge 1214, reducing the possibility of rainwater flowing into the wiring port 111b.

[0080] By setting a limiting edge 1214 on the cover 121 and a first flange 131 corresponding to the limiting edge 1214 on the fireproof component 13, the fireproof component 13 and the cover 121 can be combined into a whole piece, and the handle assembly 12 can be pre-installed before installation, reducing the workload of on-site installation.

[0081] For some examples, see Figures 2 to 9 A partial area of ​​the fireproof member 13 is recessed from one side of the inner surface 121b of the fireproof member 13 to one side of the outer surface 121a of the fireproof member 13 to form an avoidance groove 132, which extends to the bottom of the fireproof member 13, and the wiring port 111b is connected to the accommodating groove 1212 through the avoidance groove 132.

[0082] The specific structure of the avoidance groove 132 is not limited here. It only needs to avoid the connection point of the connection port 111b and be as small as possible to reduce the volume of the sheet metal component.

[0083] Here, the avoidance groove 132 extends to the bottom of the fireproof member 13, and the wiring port 111b is connected to the receiving groove 1212 through the avoidance groove 132, that is, the avoidance groove 132 is not closed at the bottom, and a gap is provided to communicate with the receiving groove 1212. On the one hand, the wiring harness 15 can be passed through the gap. On the other hand, the gap is provided at the bottom and is downwardly provided, so that part of the rainwater entering the housing can slide down along the contour of the avoidance groove 132 under the action of gravity, and it is difficult to enter the wiring port 111b through the gap.

[0084] The escape groove 132 is provided on the fireproof member 13, which is conducive to the arrangement of the escape harness 15. The bottom of the escape groove 132 is not closed, which is conducive to the insertion of the harness 15. The covering and water-guiding effects of the escape groove 132 further improve the waterproofness of the docking interface 111b.

[0085] For some examples, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The handle assembly 12 also includes a first fireproof seal 1215, which is at least partially disposed in the receiving groove 1212 and is located on the lower side of the fireproof component 13. The first fireproof seal 1215 is clamped between the cover shell 121 and the outer shell assembly 11.

[0086] For some examples, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing assembly 11 further includes a second fireproof seal 113, a first fireproof seal 1215 and a second fireproof seal 113 that are sealed together.

[0087] The types of the first fireproof seal 1215 and the second fireproof seal 113 are not limited herein, and may be, for example, a sealing gasket, a sealant, a polyurethane sponge, or the like.

[0088] The size of the first fire seal 1215 and the second fire seal 113 is determined according to the size of the sealing surface.

[0089] A first fireproof sealing member 1215 is provided between the cover 121 and the outer shell assembly 11 and is located at the lower side of the fireproof member 13 to seal the unsealed area at the bottom of the fireproof member 13, thereby sealing the wiring port 111b and reducing the possibility of rainwater entering the wiring port 111b.

[0090] A second fireproof seal 113 is provided on the outer shell component 11 , and the first fireproof seal 1215 and the second fireproof seal 113 are sealed together to further seal the installation gap between the cover shell 121 and the outer shell component 11 , thereby reducing the possibility of rainwater entering the cover shell 121 .

[0091] Here, it should be noted that, in the place where the second fireproof seal 113 contacts the fireproof member 13, the temperature of the fireproof member 13 is high when a fire occurs, and a sealing material with good fireproof performance is required to reduce the possibility of the seal catching fire due to high temperature. In other places not in contact with the fireproof member 13, the first seal and the second seal can be made of materials with slightly lower fireproof performance, as long as the waterproof sealing effect is ensured, so as to reduce the production cost.

[0092] It is understood that the sealing part is made of soft material, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The wiring harness 15 can be clamped between the seals and connected from the wiring port 111b. The setting of the seal will not have a significant impact on the setting of the wiring harness 15, and the seal wraps the main wiring harness 15. The gap between the seal and the wiring harness 15 is very small, which has little impact on the sealing performance of the wiring port 111b.

[0093] By providing the first fireproof seal 1215 and the second fireproof seal 113, the wiring port 111b having the highest waterproof performance requirement in the outer shell 111 is sealed in all directions, thereby improving the waterproof capability of the wiring port 111b. The fireproof performance of the first fireproof seal 1215 and the second fireproof seal 113 also improves the fireproof performance of the air conditioner outdoor unit 10.

[0094] For some examples, see Figures 2 to 6 A portion of the cover shell 121 on one side in the width direction is spaced apart from the housing assembly 11 to form a connection port 121c, and the water receiving groove 1211 is exposed at the connection port 121c.

[0095] The cover 121 is spaced apart from the housing assembly 11 in a portion of one side in the width direction to form a connection port 121c, so that the wiring harness 15, refrigerant pipe, etc. of the air conditioner can pass through the cover 121 through the connection port 121c and be connected to the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the water receiving tank 1211 is exposed at the connection port 121c, so that the condensed water of the air conditioner can be introduced into the water receiving tank 1211 from the connection port 121c.

[0096] The position of the connection port 121c is not limited here. Generally speaking, the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is installed with one side close to the wall, and the connection port 121c is set on the side of the cover 121 close to the wall in the width direction. This opening faces the wall, and the wall plays a certain role in shielding the connection port 121c from rain, reducing the possibility of rainwater entering the cover 121.

[0097] The size of the connection port 121c is not limited here, and is specifically determined according to the size of the components that need to be passed through, such as the wiring harness 15 and the refrigerant pipe. Generally speaking, the size of the connection port 121c is slightly larger than the size of the components that need to be passed through, such as the wiring harness 15 and the refrigerant pipe, so that the components can be passed through smoothly, and the smaller connection port 121c can reduce the possibility of rainwater entering therefrom.

[0098] The cover 121 is provided with a connection port 121c on one side in the width direction, so that the wiring harness 15, the refrigerant pipe, etc. of the air conditioner can be connected to the indoor unit of the air conditioner through this unsealed area, and the structure is simple. At the same time, the water receiving tank 1211 is exposed at the connection port 121c to facilitate the introduction of condensed water of the air conditioner.

[0099] For some examples, see Figures 2 to 6 A partial area of ​​the cover 121 is recessed from one side of the outer surface 121a of the cover 121 to one side of the inner surface 121b of the cover 121 to form a handle portion 121d.

[0100] The position of the depression is not limited here, and is specifically set according to the center of gravity of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 . The setting position of the handle portion 121 d should be conducive to the stability of the transportation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 .

[0101] The size of the depression is not limited here, and is determined based on the size of the human hand in accordance with ergonomic design standards.

[0102] In some embodiments, an anti-slip structure is provided on the surface of the handle portion 121d that contacts the hand. For example, it may be a plurality of protrusions integrally formed with the cover shell 121, or a rubber pad may be provided at the contact position, so as to increase the friction between the handle portion 121d and the human hand, which is beneficial to the safety of carrying.

[0103] A partial area of ​​the cover shell 121 is recessed from one side of the outer surface 121a of the cover shell 121 to one side of the inner surface 121b of the cover shell 121 to form a handle portion 121d, that is, the handle portion 121d is also a part of the cover shell 121. In this way, the handle portion 121d and the cover shell 121 are integrated as a whole, which reduces the connection gap of the cover shell 121 and improves the waterproof performance of the cover shell 121.

[0104] The present application provides a handle assembly 12, see Figures 2 to 6 The handle assembly 12 is used as any of the above-mentioned handle assemblies 12 , and the handle assembly 12 is detachably connected to the housing assembly 11 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 .

[0105] The type of detachable connection between the handle assembly 12 and the housing assembly 11 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10 is not limited here, for example, it can be connected via a detachable fixing part.

[0106] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The cover 121 includes a circle of mounting edges 1216 arranged on the outer circle of the cover 121, and the mounting edges 1216 are provided with mounting holes 1216a. The handle assembly 12 is connected through the mounting edges 1216 using fixing parts such as screws that are easy to disassemble, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the handle assembly 12 and the outer shell assembly 11 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10.

[0107] The specific structure of the mounting edge 1216 is not limited here, and the cover 121 can be stably fixedly mounted on the housing 111 and conveniently disassembled. The mounting edge 1216 can be directly set on the cover 121 and formed integrally with the cover 121 to improve the waterproof effect of the handle assembly 12 as a whole, or it can be a structure set separately from the cover 121, which is not limited here.

[0108] Exemplarily, the mounting edge 1216 is directly disposed on the housing 121 and is a structure integrally formed with the housing 121. The mounting edge 1216 is an edge structure that extends circumferentially and protrudes from the housing 111 on the side of the housing 121, the mounting edge 1216 abuts against the housing 111, and a mounting hole 1216a is provided on the mounting edge 1216, and the mounting edge 1216 is fixed to the housing 111 by a fixing structure.

[0109] The size of the edge structure extension protrusion is not limited here, and is specifically determined according to the weight of the cover shell 121. When the weight of the cover shell 121 is large, the size of the edge structure extension protrusion can be appropriately increased to increase the size of the installation edge 1216. In this way, the number of installation holes 1216a can be increased on the installation edge 1216 to improve the stability of the installation. The specific shape of the installation hole 1216a is not limited here, for example, it can be a simple circular hole or a waist-shaped hole, so that the installation edge 1216 can adjust the installation position during installation.

[0110] In some embodiments, a seal may be provided between the mounting edge 1216 and the housing 111 to reduce the possibility of liquids such as rainwater flowing into the interior of the housing 121 from the gap between the mounting edge 1216 and the housing 111, thereby affecting the components shielded by the housing 121. The specific type of the seal is not limited herein, and may be, for example, a rubber gasket, or a sealant, etc.

[0111] It is understandable that the larger the size of the mounting edge 1216 is, the larger the contact area between the mounting edge 1216 and the housing 111 is, and the larger the size of the seal that can be set is, the better the sealing effect is.

[0112] Here, it should be noted that part of the cover shell 121 on one side in the width direction is spaced apart from the outer shell assembly 11. When forming the connection port 121c, the installation edge 1216 also needs to disconnect the extended protruding edge structure at the corresponding position to avoid the components that need to pass through.

[0113] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , a positioning portion 1217 is also provided on the installation edge 1216. Since the handle assembly 12 is a semi-enclosed structure, the components on the housing 111 will be blocked when the handle assembly 12 is installed, and it is especially difficult to observe the position of the wiring port 111b, making it difficult for the handle assembly 12 to match the wiring port 111b at the corresponding position, affecting the sealing of the wiring port 111b. The positioning portion 1217 is a structure that assists the installation of the handle assembly 12. The handle assembly 12 can be installed at the corresponding position by simply aligning the positioning portion 1217 with the corresponding position.

[0114] The structure of the positioning portion 1217 is not limited here, for example, it can be a buckle, it can also be a positioning hole, it can also be a positioning edge, etc. The positioning portion 1217 can be a structure directly set on the mounting edge 1216 and formed integrally with the mounting edge 1216, or it can be a structure set separately from the mounting edge 1216, which is not limited here.

[0115] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 A notch is provided on the lower side of the mounting edge 1216 to serve as a positioning hole, and a corresponding protruding structure is provided at a corresponding position on the shell 111, and the positioning hole is snapped onto the protruding structure to achieve preliminary positioning of the handle body. A positioning edge is provided on the upper side of the mounting edge 1216, and a groove corresponding to the positioning edge is provided on the shell 111, so that the positioning edge can be hung in the groove for positioning, which can both position and bear part of the weight of the handle body. A buckle is provided on the side of the mounting edge 1216, and the buckle is snapped onto a corresponding buckle interface provided on the shell 111, which can both position and bear part of the weight of the handle body. The positioning portion 1217 is a structure integrally formed with the mounting edge 1216 to reduce the number of parts.

[0116] By providing the positioning portion 1217, the work of internal alignment of the handle assembly 12 is converted to external alignment of the mounting edge 1216 with the housing 111, which is beneficial to improving assembly accuracy and reducing assembly workload. At the same time, some positioning portions 1217 can also serve as fixed structures to improve the stability of the installation of the handle assembly 12.

[0117] The handle assembly 12 provided in the present application is detachably connected to the housing assembly 11, thus facilitating the installation and maintenance of the air conditioner.

[0118] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application are included in the protection scope of the present application.
