[0033] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0034] This embodiment relates to a protection device for an air conditioner outdoor unit. In terms of the overall structure, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, it includes a protection box 1, a suspension member 3, an opening and closing mechanism 4, and a linkage mechanism 5.

[0035] Among them, one side of the protective box 1 is provided with an opening 2. The unit is fixedly installed inside the protective box 1. The suspension member 3 is fixedly arranged on the top of the protective box 1. The suspension member 3 includes a bent column 301 with one end fixedly arranged on the top of the protective box 1 and a mounting plate 302 fixedly arranged at the other end of the bent column 301. The opening and closing mechanism 4 is rotatably arranged at the opening 2. The linkage mechanism 5 is rotatably arranged inside the protective box 1 and pushes the opening and closing mechanism 4 to open or close.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the opening 2 is located on one side of the protective box 1, which is convenient for installing the external unit into the protective box 1. The suspension member 3 is used for installing on the wall, and the protective box 1 is attached to the wall, thereby improving stability. The bottom of the bent column 301 of the suspension member 3 is installed on the top of the protective box 1 through bolts. The other end of the bent column 301 is flush with the back of the protective box 1. The mounting plate 302 is fixedly installed at the other end of the bent column 301. The mounting plate 302 can be fixed on the wall through expansion bolts. Since the bent column 301 is flush with the back of the protective box 1, the mounting plate 302 and the protective box 1 are both attached to the wall. The expansion bolts of the external unit can also pass through the protective box 1 and be installed on the wall, thereby improving the installation strength of the external unit and the protective box 1. The opening and closing mechanism 4 is located at the opening 2 of the protective box 1. When the external unit is not in use, the opening and closing mechanism 4 is closed, which can not only protect from wind, rain and sand, but also extend the service life of the external unit. The linkage mechanism 5 is used to open the opening and closing mechanism 4. When the external unit is in use, air flow will be blown towards the opening 2. At this time, the linkage mechanism 5 flips and drives the opening and closing mechanism 4 to open, so as to realize the outward flow of air.

[0037] Based on the above overall introduction, an exemplary structure of the air conditioner external unit protection device in this embodiment is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the opening and closing mechanism 4 includes a fixed rod 401 fixedly arranged on the side wall of the protective box 1 and a flap 402 rotatably arranged on the fixed rod 401. The number of fixed rods 401 is two, which are oppositely arranged inside the protective box 1. A plurality of flaps 402 are vertically arranged along the fixed rod 401. One end of the plurality of flaps 402 is rotatably provided with a connecting rod 403.

[0038] It should be noted that the fixed rod 401 is vertically arranged inside the protective box 1 and fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the protective box 1. The purpose of setting the fixed rod 401 is to facilitate the installation of the opening and closing mechanism 4, which can be simply fastened to the protective box 1 by screws. Both ends of the flap 402 are rotatably arranged on the two fixed rods 401. The flap 402 is horizontally arranged inside the protective box 1. When the plurality of flaps 402 are turned to the vertical state, they can block the opening 2. When the flap 402 is rotated to a certain angle, the opening 2 is in the open state. The connecting rod 403 is rotationally connected to the plurality of flaps 402 to ensure that the plurality of flaps 402 can be turned simultaneously, facilitating the discharge of air.

[0039] Preferably, as shown in Figure 5 andFigure 6 As shown, auxiliary rods 404 are provided on both sides in the length direction of the flap 402 in this embodiment, and the auxiliary rods 404 and the connecting rod 403 are rotatably arranged. A counterweight strip 405 is provided on one side of the flap 402 close to the auxiliary rod 404.

[0040] Specifically, the auxiliary rod 404 is perpendicular to the flap 402, and the connecting rod 403 is rotationally connected to the auxiliary rod 404 to increase the flipping angle of the flap 402 and ensure that the flap 402 will not be stuck with the connecting rod 403 during flipping. The auxiliary rod 404 is located at the top of the flap 402, that is, the auxiliary rod 404 flips downward. Since flipping downward can reduce the driving force of the linkage mechanism 5, the linkage mechanism 5 can be driven to drive the opening and closing mechanism 4 to open. The counterweight strip 405 is located at the auxiliary rod 404, that is, the counterweight strip 405 is installed on the upper parts on both sides of the auxiliary rod 404. Similarly, due to gravity, the driving force of the linkage mechanism 5 can be reduced, so that the airflow can drive the linkage mechanism 5 and the opening and closing mechanism 4 to flip.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, the linkage mechanism 5 includes a wind plate 501 rotatably arranged in the protection box 1 and a pulling rod 502 rotatably arranged between the wind plate 501 and the connecting rod 403. A fixed shaft 503 is horizontally arranged in the protection box 1, and the protection box 1 is rotatably arranged on the fixed shaft 503.

[0042] It should be noted that the wind plate 501 is located at the air outlet of the external unit. The fixed shaft 503 is horizontally and fixedly arranged in the protection box 1 and is located above the air outlet. The wind plate 501 is rotationally connected to the fixed shaft 503. When the air flow blows out, the wind plate 501 can be driven to flip on the fixed shaft 503. One end of the pulling rod 502 is rotationally connected to the top of the wind plate 501, and the other end of the pulling rod 502 is rotationally connected to the connecting rod 403. When the wind plate 501 flips, the pulling rod 502 drives the connecting rod 403 to move, and the connecting rod 403 drives the flipping, so that the flap 402 is in an open state. When the external unit is closed, the wind plate 501 will not flip due to gravity. Therefore, the pulling rod 502 will support the connecting rod 403 to prevent the connecting rod 403 from moving, so that the flap 402 is in a closed state.

[0043] As a preference, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a plurality of through holes 504 are opened at one end in the length direction on both sides of the wind plate 501 in this embodiment, and the fixed shaft 503 is passed through the through holes 504. Auxiliary plates 505 are bent on both sides in the length direction of the wind plate 501, and a plurality of through holes 504 are opened on the auxiliary plates 505.

[0044] Specifically, the fixed shaft 503 can be inserted through different through holes 504. The multiple through holes 504 are located in the upper half on both sides of the air deflector 501. The purpose of the fixed shaft 503 being located in different through holes 504 is that the power required for the lower half of the air deflector 501 to be pushed by the air flow is also different. The purpose of setting multiple through holes 504 is to be able to select the through hole 504 according to the actual situation. The auxiliary plate 505 is also located in the upper half on both sides of the air deflector 501. The through hole 504 is opened on the auxiliary plate 505. The auxiliary plate 505 and the air deflector 501 are bent at a right angle. The setting of the auxiliary plate 505 can reduce the thickness of the air deflector 501 and ensure that the air flow can blow the air deflector 501 to flip. The opening and closing mechanism 4 and the linkage mechanism 5 can preferably be made of lighter materials such as PVC or aluminum to ensure that they can be blown and flipped by the air flow.

[0045] In the air conditioner outdoor unit protection device of this embodiment, through the cooperative setting of the protection box 1 and the suspension member 3, it is ensured that the protection box 1 can be suspended on the wall to improve stability. Through the setting of the opening and closing mechanism 4, it is ensured that the protection box 1 can be closed. When the air conditioner is not in use, the protection box 1 is in a closed state. Through the setting of the linkage mechanism 5, it is ensured that when the outdoor unit rotates, the air flow can drive the linkage mechanism 5 to flip, thereby realizing the opening of the opening and closing mechanism 4. Through the setting of the pulling rod 502, it is ensured that the linkage mechanism 5 can drive the opening and closing mechanism 4 to move.

[0046] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
