For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1-7 , is an air conditioner outdoor unit 1 according to an embodiment of the present application. The air conditioner outdoor unit 1 comprises a casing body, a connecting plate 11 is arranged at the bottom of the casing body, a first shock absorbing pad is arranged between the connecting plate 11 and a supporting base 2 for mounting the casing body, and the first shock absorbing pad is used to buffer the vibration of the casing body.

[0042] The first shock absorbing member 3 is preferably a cylindrical member having a first end and a second end opposite to each other, wherein the first end is connected to the connecting plate 11, and the second end is connected to the supporting seat 2. The first shock absorbing member 3 is also provided with an elastic telescopic portion 31, which is located between the first end and the second end. The elastic telescopic portion 31 is used to increase the amount of expansion or deformation of the first shock absorbing pad along the axial direction, so that the first shock absorbing pad has a greater expansion or deformation capacity in the axial direction, and effectively alleviates the vibration and noise caused by the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 during operation.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the elastic expansion portion 31 increases the expansion or deformation amount of the first shock absorbing member 3 along the circumferential direction through a plurality of buffer segments connected in sequence.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The buffer section includes a plurality of first buffer sections 311 connected in sequence. Specifically, the first buffer section 311 is in the shape of an annular protrusion protruding outward from the outer circumference of the cylindrical component, and the plurality of annular protrusions are connected in sequence to form a buffer section similar to a wave shape.

[0045] Compared with a simple straight structure, the wavy buffer structure has more surface area and deformation space. This means that within the same installation space, the wavy buffer structure enables the first shock absorber 3 to achieve a larger expansion or deformation amount within the same installation space. When the first shock absorber 3 is subjected to external force, adjacent annular protrusions can be compressed or stretched against each other to absorb and disperse vibration energy, reduce the transmission of vibration, and thus improve the buffering effect of the first shock absorber 3.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The buffer section also includes a plurality of second buffer sections 312 connected in sequence. The second buffer section 312 is similar in shape to the first buffer, and its specific shape is an annular protrusion protruding inward from the inner circumference of the cylindrical component, and a plurality of annular protrusions are connected in sequence to form a buffer section similar to a wave shape.

[0047] Of course, it is not difficult to understand that the buffering principle and effect of the second buffer section 312 are similar to those of the first buffer section 311, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] Furthermore, wave-shaped buffer sections are provided on the inner and outer surfaces of the elastic buffer portion, which can further increase the expansion and contraction capacity and deformation capacity of the first shock absorber 3 in the axial direction, thereby effectively alleviating the vibration and noise caused by the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 during operation.

[0049] In one embodiment, the first shock absorber 3 is connected to the connecting plate 11 and the support seat 2 respectively through a locking assembly to ensure its stability during use. The locking assembly can be, but is not limited to, a common fastening method, such as a threaded connection, a snap connection, or a clamping device.

[0050] In one embodiment, the locking assembly adopts a locking method of a bolt 41 and a nut 42 .

[0051] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 and 4 The bolt 41 passes through the connecting plate 11, the first shock absorbing member 3 and the supporting seat 2 in sequence, and the nut 42 is pressed against the surface of the supporting seat 2 away from the first shock absorbing member 3 to lock the three. The locking method of the bolt 41 and the nut 42 is easy to disassemble, making subsequent maintenance and replacement more convenient.

[0052] Of course, the installation position of the first shock absorbing member 3 can also be fine-tuned according to actual needs by adjusting the tightness of the bolts 41 and the nuts 42 so that the first shock absorbing member 3 can achieve the best shock absorbing effect.

[0053] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2-4The first end of the first shock absorber 3 is provided with a first protrusion 32, and the connecting plate 11 is provided with a first groove 111. The first protrusion 32 is engaged in the first groove 111, and such a structure can prevent the connecting plate 11 and the first shock absorber 3 from loosening or misalignment during the operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1, and helps to improve the stability of the connection between the connecting plate 11 and the first shock absorber 3.

[0054] Furthermore, through the matching structure of the first protrusion 32 and the first groove 111, the connection plate 11 and the first shock absorbing member 3 are easier to position during installation, which helps to simplify the installation steps and improve the installation efficiency.

[0055] In one embodiment, the structure is similar to the above embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and 3 The second end of the first shock absorber 3 is provided with a second groove 33, and the support seat 2 is embedded in the second groove 33 to achieve the connection between the first shock absorber 3 and the support seat 2. Such a connection structure makes it easier to accurately position the first shock absorber 3 when it is installed on the support seat 2. At the same time, the setting of the second groove 33 also helps the support seat 2 to be firmly embedded therein, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first shock absorber 3 and the support seat 2.

[0056] Since the connection between the bolt 41 and the nut 42 is generally a rigid connection, the free axial movement of the first shock absorber 3 will be restricted, that is, the elastic deformation of the first shock absorber 3 in the axial direction is restricted to a certain extent, affecting its shock absorption effect.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 further includes a second shock absorbing member 5 , which is located between the head of the bolt 41 and the connecting plate 11 .

[0058] Such a structure, on the one hand, helps to alleviate the restriction on the elastic deformation of the first shock absorbing member 3 in the axial direction due to the rigid connection between the bolt 41 and the nut 42 .

[0059] On the other hand, the first shock absorber 3 and the second shock absorber 5 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting plate 11, the first shock absorber 3 is stably connected to the connecting plate 11 through the first protrusion 32, and the second shock absorber 5 is stably arranged between the connecting plate 11 and the head of the bolt 41 through the clamping force between the two. This structural layout can enable the first shock absorber 3 and the second shock absorber 5 to effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy, thereby further alleviating the vibration and noise caused by the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 during operation.

[0060] The second shock absorbing member 5 can be in the form of an independent shock absorbing pad, or can be provided in a manner of being connected to the first shock absorbing member 3 .

[0061] Considering that the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 usually requires high-altitude work, therefore, in a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the second shock absorbing member 5 and the first shock absorbing member 3 are an integrally formed structure.

[0062] The first shock absorber 3 and the second shock absorber 5 are designed as an integrally formed structure, so that the installer can easily fix the integrally formed shock absorber to the connecting plate 11 on site without having to install and adjust each shock absorber separately, which can simplify the installation process and save installation time.

[0063] Furthermore, the one-piece structure can ensure a tight connection between the first shock absorber 3 and the second shock absorber 5 , reducing possible looseness or misalignment between the components, thereby providing a more stable shock absorbing performance for the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 .

[0064] Furthermore, the second shock absorbing member 5 is generally made of rubber material, and has a fixed end and a free end. The fixed end is connected to the first shock absorbing member 3, and the deformation property of the rubber material enables the free end to rotate around the fixed end.

[0065] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 and 4 When pre-installing the first shock absorber 3 and the second shock absorber 5 to the connecting plate 11, first clamp the connecting plate 11 at the first end, then rotate the second shock absorber 5 to be parallel to the first end, use the bolt 41 to pass through the second shock absorber 5, the connecting plate 11 and the first shock absorber 3 in sequence, and then thread the nut 42 on the free end of the bolt 41.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and 7 The air conditioner outdoor unit 1 also includes a third shock absorbing member 6 , which is located between the nut 42 and the support seat 2 .

[0067] Similar to the above embodiment, disposing the third shock absorbing member 6 between the nut 42 and the support seat 2 can also increase the axial elastic deformation capability of the buffer structure, thereby improving its shock absorbing effect.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment, considering the convenience of installation and pre-installation, a second protrusion 61 is provided on the third shock absorber 6, the second protrusion 61 is provided with an annular groove along the circumferential direction, and a through hole 21 for installing the second protrusion 61 is provided on the support seat 2.

[0069] In the process of pre-installing the third shock absorbing member 6 on the supporting seat 2, the second protrusion 61 is first aligned with the through hole 21 on the supporting seat 2, and then pushed forward to make them snap-fit ​​together.

[0070] During the advancement process, the edge of the through hole 21 will be embedded in the annular groove, so that the two form a tighter fit. Such a structure prevents the third shock absorbing member 6 and the support seat 2 from loosening during vibration.

[0071] For further information, please refer to Figure 6 and 7 When installing the first shock absorber 3 and the third shock absorber 6, first pre-install the third shock absorber 6 on the support seat 2. The installation process has been mentioned above and will not be repeated here. The support seat 2 together with the third shock absorber 6 is clamped into the second groove 33, the connecting plate 11 is clamped at the first end, and the bolts 41 are used to pass through the connecting plate 11, the first shock absorber 3, the support seat 2 and the third shock absorber 6 in sequence, and then the nuts 42 are tightened against the end of the third shock absorber 6 away from the support seat 2. Through the above steps, the connecting plate 11, the first shock absorber 3, the third shock absorber 6 and the support seat 2 can be stably connected.

[0072] To sum up, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 1 provided in this embodiment can increase the elastic deformation of the shock-absorbing structure along the axial direction through the shock-absorbing structure between the connecting plate 11 and the support seat 2, thereby effectively alleviating the vibration and noise caused by the air-conditioning outdoor unit 1 during operation.

[0073] The embodiment of the utility model further provides an air conditioner, comprising the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 as described above.

[0074] Since the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 has the above characteristics and advantages, the vibration and noise of the air conditioner using the air conditioner outdoor unit 1 are significantly improved. The air conditioner provided in this embodiment can provide users with a quieter and more comfortable living and working environment. At the same time, it can also better meet market requirements and enhance the market competitiveness of the product.

[0075] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
