Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a housing of an outdoor unit of a multi-connected air conditioner with side air outlet on the C-shaped condenser side in a refrigeration unit, a condenser with such a housing, and an air conditioner with the condenser. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the C-shaped side air outlet condenser used in refrigeration units basically includes a condensing pipe, a fan, a housing, and a side air outlet. Among them, the condensing pipe, as the main part of the condenser, is responsible for dissipating heat. The condensing pipe is usually made of high-efficiency heat dissipation materials, such as copper pipes, and the refrigerant flows inside. The fan is located outside or near the condensing pipe and is mainly responsible for taking away the dissipated heat through the side air outlet. The design and operating efficiency of the fan have a direct impact on the heat dissipation effect of the condenser. The housing is used to protect the condensing pipe and the fan and plays a role in supporting the unit and enclosing the outdoor unit cavity. The shape and material design of the housing also take into account air flow and heat dissipation efficiency. The side air outlet is a specially designed air outlet located on the side of the condenser to facilitate the discharge of hot air outdoors and reduce the impact on the indoor environment. As Figure 1 shown, it is an assembly drawing of an existing C-shaped side air outlet housing. The housing is formed by connecting a mask 01 with two air guiding rings provided up and down, an upper part 4 of the front panel, a lower part 5 of the front panel, a lower part 6 of the side panel, an upper part of the side panel, a panel 7 formed by a backward horizontal bending part, and a partition 8 with screws. As can be seen from the above, the housing of each unit condenser requires at least six panel parts for assembly. Due to the large number of panel parts and the long connection seams, the strength and stiffness of the housing will be affected. In addition, adjacent panels need to be connected and fastened with screws, which requires a lot of time for installation. The housing with such a structure has low manufacturing and assembly efficiency and high production cost.
[0003] Therefore, how to overcome the defects of the existing outdoor unit housing with a large number of panel parts and long installation time is a problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible in this field. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The utility model aims to solve the technical problems of the existing outdoor unit housing with a large number of panel parts and long installation time, and provides an outdoor unit housing with fewer panel parts, a condenser with such a housing, and an air conditioner. This outdoor unit housing composed of fewer panel parts has a small amount of panel installation and a significant reduction in fastening screws, greatly improving the installation efficiency.
[0005] An outdoor unit housing provided by the utility model includes a mask, and one longitudinal side of the mask is a fixed surface for connecting the left side plate of the condenser. It also includes an integrated panel connected to the fixed surface of the left side plate of the condenser on one longitudinal side, and the integrated panel is horizontally bent; an integrated partition connected to the other longitudinal side of the integrated panel, and the integrated partition is horizontally bent, and the other longitudinal side of the integrated partition is connected to the condenser.
[0006] Preferably, the connection between the mask and the integrated panel is a snap connection; the connection between the integrated panel and the integrated partition is a snap connection.
[0007] Preferably, a first snap groove for snap - connecting with the integrated panel is provided on the fixed surface of the left - hand connecting plate of the condenser of the mask.

Specific embodiments
[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation to the present invention.
[0029] Figure 1 As the assembly drawing of the housing of the existing C - type condenser, it can be seen from the figure that the housing is composed of six panel parts, namely, a mask 01 with two air guide rings provided at the upper and lower parts, the upper part 4 of the front panel, the lower part 5 of the front panel, the lower part 6 of the side panel, the upper part 7 of the side panel and the horizontal bending part backward, and a partition board 8, which are connected. This existing housing has many panel parts, many part connection edges, a large amount of screw connectors used, low assembly efficiency, and poor stiffness of the housing after assembly.
[0030] To improve the problems existing in the existing housing, an external machine housing provided by the present utility model can be used as the outer shell of a C - type condenser. Its first embodiment is as Figure 2 shown. This external machine housing is composed of a mask 1, an integrated partition board 2 and an integrated panel 3 connected together. As Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, two air guide rings 13 are provided in the vertical direction on the front of the mask 1. The air guide rings are integrally formed for guiding the flow. As needed, one or more air guide rings 13 can be provided. The left fixing surface 11 of the condenser connecting plate is on the longitudinal right side of the mask 1, and the right fixing surface 12 of the condenser connecting plate is on the longitudinal left side of the mask 1.
[0031] As Figure 5 shown, the integrated panel 3 is an integral member with the same height as the mask 1 and bent horizontally by about 90°. The left side in the longitudinal direction of the integrated panel 3 is fixedly connected to the left fixing surface 11 of the condenser connecting plate of the mask 1; the right side in the longitudinal direction of the integrated panel 3 is connected to the left side in the longitudinal direction of the integrated partition 2, as Figure 7 shown, the integrated partition 2 is an integral member with the same height as the integrated panel 3 and bent horizontally by about 90°. The right side in the longitudinal direction of the integrated partition 2 is used for connecting to the condenser.
[0032] In this embodiment, the existing front panel assembly and part of the side panel assembly are integrally formed into an integrated panel; then the remaining part of the existing side panel assembly and the partition are integrally formed into an integrated panel, while the existing overall structure mask is retained. That is, the existing housing composed of six panel parts is reduced to a housing composed of three integral panels. Since the number of panel parts constituting the housing is reduced, the strength and stiffness of the housing are relatively increased. The reduction in the number of panel parts reduces the installation amount of panel parts, improves the installation efficiency, and reduces the production cost.
[0033] In the second embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 2 - 8 shown, the right side in the longitudinal direction of the mask 1 is the left fixing surface 11 of the condenser connecting plate, on which a plurality of first snap grooves 111 and screw through holes 112 for connecting the mask 1 to the left side of the condenser are longitudinally provided; the left side in the longitudinal direction of the mask 1 is the right fixing surface 12 of the condenser connecting plate, on which a plurality of screw through holes 121 for connecting the mask 1 to the right side of the condenser are longitudinally provided. That is, the mask can be fixedly connected to the condenser through the screw through holes on the left and right sides in the longitudinal direction of the mask 1. Screw through holes 100 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the mask 1. The screw through hole at the lower end is used to connect the mask 1 to the chassis; the screw through hole at the upper end is used to connect the mask 1 to the top cover.
[0034] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, the integrated panel 3 is an integral member with the same height as the mask 1 and bent horizontally by about 90°. The integrated panel 3 includes a partition connecting surface 31, a second snap 311, a chassis connecting and fixing surface 32, a top cover connecting and fixing surface 33, a mask connecting surface 34, a first snap 341, knockout holes 35, handle holes 36, and screw through holes 300 respectively connecting the top cover and the chassis.
[0035] Both longitudinal sides of the integrated panel 3 are bent inward to form short sides. Among them, the left side is bent to form the mask connection surface 34. A first buckle 341 connected to the first buckle groove 111 on the mask 1 is provided on the mask connection surface 34, so that the mask 1 and the integrated panel 3 form a buckle connection, and the panel is fastened through the buckle cooperation between the first buckle 341 and the first buckle groove 111. The right side of the integrated panel 3 is bent to form the partition connection surface 31. A plurality of second buckles 311 longitudinally engaged with the left side of the integrated partition 2 are provided on the partition connection surface 31. A number of screw through holes 300 are provided in the horizontal direction of the chassis connection fixing surface 32, which is convenient for fixing the integrated panel 3 and the chassis by screws. A number of screw through holes 300 are provided in the horizontal direction of the top cover connection fixing surface 33, which is convenient for fixing the integrated panel 3 and the top cover by screws. According to requirements, a handle hole 36 required for the handle and knockout holes 35 required for wire passing and pipe passing can be opened on the integrated panel 3.
[0036] As Figure 7 、 Figure 8 shown, the integrated partition 2 is a whole member with the same height as the integrated panel 3 and bent horizontally by about 90°. The integrated partition 2 includes a partition main body 20, a water retaining folded edge 21, a condenser fixing surface 22, a panel fixing surface 23, a second buckle groove 231, a top cover connection surface 24, a chassis connection surface 25, a chassis fixing surface 26, and screw through holes 200 respectively connecting the top cover and the chassis.
[0037] The longitudinal left side of the integrated partition 2 is bent inward to form a panel fixing surface 23. A second buckle groove 231 connected to the second buckle 311 on the integrated panel 3 is provided on the panel fixing surface. In this way, a buckle connection is formed between the integrated panel 3 and the integrated partition 2. The right longitudinal side of the integrated partition 2 is a condenser fixing surface 22, and screw through holes for connecting the condenser are provided in the vertical direction, so that the right side of the partition 2 can be fixed on the condenser.
[0038] A number of hole positions can be opened on the partition main body 20 of the integrated partition 2, which can be used to fix pipelines, oil separators or other cylinder bodies. Reinforcing ribs or concave structures can also be added to the structure of the partition main body 20. A number of screw through holes 200 are provided in the horizontal direction on the top cover connection surface 24, which is convenient for fixing the integrated partition 2 and the top cover by screws. A number of screw through holes 200 are provided in the horizontal direction on the chassis connection surface 25, which is convenient for fixing the integrated partition 2 and the chassis by screws. A number of screw through holes 200 are provided in the horizontal direction on the chassis fixing surface 26, which is convenient for fixing the integrated partition 2 and the chassis by screws.
[0039] The screw connection structure between the face mask, the integrated panel and the integrated partition of the present utility model is changed to a snap connection structure, which not only reduces the installation amount of panel parts, the number of screw fastening edges is reduced, and the fastening screws for connection are also greatly reduced, thus greatly improving the installation efficiency and reducing the production cost. In particular, the longitudinal two side edges of the integrated panel are designed as short side strips bent inward and are respectively connected to the face mask and the integrated partition, and the strength and stability can be enhanced through the flanging structure. A plurality of snaps are arranged in the vertical direction of the bent edge of the integrated panel, which is convenient for snap connection with the snap groove of the face mask and the snap groove of the integrated partition. After the snap connection, the connection surfaces of adjacent panel parts are closely attached, effectively hiding structures such as snaps and snap grooves, improving the overall stiffness of the housing, and making the unit beautiful and tidy. In addition, a plurality of hole positions are arranged on the partition main body surface of the integrated partition, which is convenient for fixing pipelines, oil separators or cylinder bodies, etc., and can reduce vibration and improve the safety performance of the unit. Reinforcing ribs or concave structures are arranged on the partition main body, which can improve the stiffness of the housing. A water blocking flanging is arranged on the outer side edge of the condenser fixing surface of the integrated partition, which can block rainwater from entering the condenser and improve the safety of the condenser.
[0040] The present utility model also provides a C-shaped condenser having the outdoor unit housing and an air conditioner having the C-shaped condenser.
[0041] The structure of the C-shaped side air outlet condenser generally includes a condensing pipe, a fan, a housing and a side air outlet. The housing is used to protect the condensing pipe and the fan and play a heat insulation role. The shape and material design of the housing will also take into account air flow and heat dissipation efficiency. The side air outlet is a specially designed air outlet, which is located on the side of the condenser to facilitate the discharge of hot air outdoors and reduce the impact on the indoor environment.
[0042] The C-shaped condenser with side air outlet effectively dissipates the heat released by the refrigerant to the outdoor or away from the area to be cooled through the heat exchange process in the refrigeration cycle, combined with the side air outlet design and the air flow driven by the fan. This design not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser, but also helps to maintain the comfort and stability of the indoor temperature. The outdoor unit housing provided by the present utility model has the advantages of few panel parts, good rigidity, convenient installation, low manufacturing cost, high production efficiency, etc. in addition to the basic functions of the condenser housing.
[0043] The present utility model is improved with the C-shaped condenser double-fan side air outlet housing as the basic model, and the single-fan side air outlet or other side air outlet structures of the C-shaped condenser can adopt the creative ideas described in the present utility model for integrated design.
[0044] The above are only the specific embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and variations made within the spirit and framework of the concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
