[0002] In the related art, when installing an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, for aesthetic and safety considerations, protective grilles are provided on some air conditioner positions where the outdoor units of air conditioners are installed. However, the protective grilles will affect the air outlet of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to a certain extent. Especially when the space inside the protective grille is small, the hot air blown out from the air outlet of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is likely to accumulate inside the protective grille, resulting in an increase in the temperature inside the protective grille and affecting the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. In severe cases, the air conditioner may even stop running due to overheat protection of the compressor of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the embodiments of this application are expected to provide an air deflector and an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in different installation scenarios.

[0004] To achieve the above object, an embodiment of this application provides an air deflector, including:

[0005] A housing with an air guiding opening, the housing includes a main body section and a cuttable section that can be separated from the main body section, and the cuttable section is located downstream of the main body section along the air guiding direction.

[0006] In one implementation, the housing includes a plurality of the cuttable sections, and the plurality of cuttable sections are arranged in sequence along the air guiding direction.

[0007] In one implementation, the housing includes a cutting position between the main body section and the cuttable section, and the main body section and the cuttable section are separated through the cutting position.

[0008] In one implementation, the cutting position is a strip hole that penetrates the housing and extends horizontally along a direction perpendicular to the air guiding direction.

[0009] In one implementation, the housing includes a plurality of connecting plates each having a main body sub-section and a cuttable sub-section. The plurality of connecting plates are connected in sequence to enclose and form the air guiding opening. The main body sub-sections of each connecting plate together form the main body section, and the cuttable sub-sections of each connecting plate together form the cuttable section.

[0010] In one implementation, each connecting plate is respectively provided with a cutting position between the main body sub-section and the cuttable sub-section.

[0011] In one implementation, two adjacent connecting plates are detachably connected.

[0012] In one embodiment, each of the connecting plates has a flange formed by folding on one lateral side perpendicular to the wind guiding direction, and the flange of one connecting plate covers the outer surface of another adjacent connecting plate.

[0013] In one embodiment, the air guide cover includes a mounting plate having a mounting hole, and the mounting plate is arranged on a side of the main body section away from the cuttable section and is bent toward a direction close to the air guide port.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cover body includes a plurality of mounting plates, and the plurality of mounting plates are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the air guide port.

[0015] In one embodiment, the main body section is formed with a plurality of safety rope hanging holes.

[0016] Another embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, comprising:

[0017] A housing having an air outlet;

[0018] The air guide cover described above is arranged at the air outlet, and the air guide port is connected to the air outlet.

[0019] The embodiment of the present application provides an air guide hood and an air conditioner outdoor unit, wherein the air guide hood includes a hood body with an air guide port, the air guide hood is arranged at the air outlet of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the air guide port is connected to the air outlet of the casing, wherein the hood body includes a main section and a cuttable section that can be separated from the main section, and the cuttable section is located downstream of the main section along the air guide direction. When no protective grille is provided on the air conditioner position where the air conditioner outdoor unit is installed, or when a protective grille is provided on the air conditioner position but the space inside the protective grille is relatively large and can meet the heat dissipation requirement of the air conditioner outdoor unit, there is no need to cut the cuttable section, that is, the air guide hood remains in its original state. When a protective grille is provided on the air conditioner position but the space inside the protective grille is relatively small and may affect the heat dissipation of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the cuttable section can be cut to separate the cuttable section from the main section. At the same time, the position of the air conditioner outdoor unit can be adjusted to make the air guide hood as close to the protective grille as possible. Thus, by reducing the distance between the air outlet and the protective grille, the hot air in the air conditioner outdoor unit can be blown out to the outside of the protective grille more quickly, thereby also meeting the heat dissipation requirement of the air conditioner outdoor unit. That is to say, the air guide cover of the embodiment of the present application can choose to retain or cut the cuttable section of the cover body according to different installation scenarios of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, so that the air-conditioning outdoor unit can meet the heat dissipation requirements in different installation scenarios.

Detailed implementation manners

[0029] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the term "air guiding direction" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the attached drawings. These orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. Figure 1

[0030] Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide an outdoor unit 100 of an air conditioner. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 . The outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner includes a housing 20 having an air outlet 20a and an air deflector 10.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2The air guide cover 10 of the embodiment of the present application includes a cover body 11 having an air guide port 11 a . The air guide cover 10 is disposed at the air outlet 20 a , and the air guide port 11 a is connected to the air outlet 20 a of the housing 20 .

[0032] The air outlet 20a is an outlet for air to flow out of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and the air guide 11a is used to guide the air to the outside. The air guide 11a and the air outlet 20a are connected, which means that the air can flow to the outside through the air guide 11a after being blown out from the air outlet 20a.

[0033] The communication mode between the air guide port 11a and the air outlet 20a is not limited. For example, please refer to Figure 2 The cover body 11 may be disposed around the air outlet 20a so that the air outlet 20a may be exposed in the air guide port 11a.

[0034] Please continue reading Figure 2 The cover body 11 includes a main body section 111 and a cuttable section 112 that can be separated from the main body section 111, and the cuttable section 112 is located downstream of the main body section 111 along the wind guiding direction.

[0035] The number of cuttable segments 112 is unlimited. For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the number of the cuttable segments 112 is one. In another embodiment, the number of the cuttable segments 112 may be multiple, and the multiple cuttable segments 112 are arranged in sequence along the wind guide direction, and a part of the cuttable segments 112 or all of the cuttable segments 112 may be cut as needed.

[0036] The shape of the cover body 11 is not limited, for example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the cross-sectional shape of the cover body 11 is rectangular. In another embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the cover body 11 may also be circular.

[0037] The main body section 111 is connected to the housing 20, so that the air guide cover 10 is installed on the housing 20. The cuttable section 112 is located downstream of the main body section 111 along the air guide direction, that is, located on the side of the main body section 111 away from the housing 20. The cuttable section 112 can be separated from the main body section 111 by cutting, so as to adjust the length of the cover body 11 along the air guide direction. In other words, by separating the main body section 111 from the cuttable section 112, the length of the cover body 11 along the air guide direction can be reduced.

[0038] Specifically, when there is no protective grille 200 installed on the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position where the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is installed, or when there is a protective grille 200 installed on the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position, but the space inside the protective grille 200 is relatively large and can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, there is no need to cut the cuttable section 112, that is, the air guide cover 10 remains unchanged. When there is a protective grille 200 installed on the air conditioner outdoor unit installation position, but the space inside the protective grille 200 is relatively small and may affect the heat dissipation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, the cuttable section 112 can be cut to separate the cuttable section 112 from the main body section 111. At the same time, the position of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 can be adjusted to make the air guide cover 10 as close as possible to the protective grille 200. Thus, by reducing the distance between the air outlet 20a and the protective grille 200, the hot air inside the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 can be blown out to the outside of the protective grille 200 more quickly, thereby also meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. That is to say, the air guide cover 10 of the embodiment of the present application can select to retain or cut the cuttable section 112 of the cover body 11 according to different installation scenarios of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, so that the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 can meet the heat dissipation requirements in different installation scenarios.

[0039] It should be noted that the air guide cover 10 of the embodiment of the present application is not limited to being used on the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and the air guide cover 10 of the embodiment of the present application can be adopted by any other device that requires air guiding.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the cover body 11 may include a cutting position located between the main body section 111 and the cuttable section, and the main body section 111 and the cuttable section are separated through the cutting position.

[0041] The cutting position 113 can not only position the main body section 111 and the cuttable section 112, but also facilitate the separation of the main body section 111 and the cuttable section 112.

[0042] The form of the cutting position 113 is not limited. Exemplarily, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the cutting position can be a strip hole 113a that penetrates the cover body 11 and extends horizontally along the direction perpendicular to the air guiding direction.

[0043] The strip hole 113a refers to a long strip-shaped hole. That is to say, the strip hole 113a has a relatively long length dimension and a relatively short width dimension. For example, the length dimension of the strip hole 113a can be greater than or equal to 5 times the width dimension.

[0044] To prevent air flow from flowing out through the strip hole 113a, preferably, the strip hole 113a can be set in a slit shape.

[0045] The strip holes 113a can facilitate the separation of the main body section 111 and the cuttable section 112. More preferably, the cover 11 may include a plurality of strip holes 113a. The plurality of strip holes 113a are arranged at lateral intervals along the vertical air guiding direction. In this way, not only can the deformation between the main body section 111 and the cuttable section 112 be ensured to be difficult, but also the separation can be facilitated.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 7 , the cover 11 may include a plurality of connecting plates 114 having a main body sub-section 1141 and a cuttable sub-section 1142. The plurality of connecting plates 114 are sequentially connected to enclose and form an air guiding opening 11a. The main body sub-sections 1141 of the respective connecting plates 114 together form the main body section 111, and the cuttable sub-sections 1142 of the respective connecting plates 114 together form the cuttable section 112.

[0047] The number of the connecting plates 114 is not limited. Please refer to Figure 4 , the cover 11 may include 4 connecting plates 114.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , each connecting plate 114 may be respectively provided with a cutting position 113 located between the main body sub-section 1141 and the cuttable sub-section 1142.

[0049] The cutting position 113 can be used to separate the main body sub-section 1141 and the cuttable sub-section 1142. That is to say, by separating the main body sub-sections 1141 and the cuttable sub-sections 1142 of the respective connecting plates 114, the main body section 111 and the cuttable section 112 can be separated.

[0050] The connection between the respective connecting plates 114 can be a fixed connection, such as welding or integral molding, etc. In some other embodiments, the connection between the respective connecting plates 114 can be a detachable connection, such as snap connection or fastening connection by fasteners such as screws and bolts, etc. The detachable connection can facilitate the transportation of the respective connecting plates 114 to the installation site and then assembled into the air guiding cover 10 to facilitate the transportation of the air guiding cover 10.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and 7 , one lateral side of each connecting plate 114 perpendicular to the air guiding direction may have a flanging 1143 formed by folding. The flanging 1143 of one connecting plate 114 covers the outer surface of an adjacent another connecting plate 114.

[0052] That is to say, the connection between adjacent connecting plates 114 is realized by the flanging 1143 of one connecting plate 114 covering the outer surface of an adjacent another connecting plate 114. This setting method can enhance the connection strength between adjacent connecting plates 114. Exemplarily, please refer toFigure 3 and Figure 7 On the flanging 1143 of a connecting plate 114, there may be connecting holes, and corresponding connecting holes are also provided at corresponding positions of the other connecting plate 114. Fasteners are inserted between the connecting holes of the two connecting plates to achieve a fastening connection. To ensure the connection stability and connection strength between two adjacent connecting plates 114, three connecting holes may be provided on one connecting plate.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 , the connecting plate 114 may include a first flanging 11431 and a second flanging 11432, and the first flanging 11431 and the second flanging 11432 are respectively located on opposite sides of the transverse direction perpendicular to the air guiding direction of the connecting plate 114. Taking the example that the cover body 11 is composed of 4 connecting plates 114, when the connecting plates 114 are connected, the first flanging 11431 of the first connecting plate 114 covers one side of the adjacent second connecting plate 114 facing away from the air guiding opening 11a, and at the same time, the second flanging 11432 of the second connecting plate 114 covers one side of the first connecting plate 114 close to the air guiding opening 11a.

[0054] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 、 Figure 7 , the air guiding cover 10 may include a mounting plate 115 having a mounting hole 115a. The mounting plate 115 is provided on the side of the main body section 111 facing away from the cuttable section 112 and is bent in the direction close to the air guiding opening 11a.

[0055] The mounting plate 115 is used to connect the air guiding cover 10 and the housing 20 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, so that the air guiding cover 10 is installed at the air outlet 20a of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. The mounting plate 115 can improve the mounting stability of the air guiding cover 10.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 , there may be multiple mounting plates 115, and the multiple mounting plates 115 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the air guiding opening 11a. Arranging multiple mounting plates 115 can further ensure the connection strength and connection stability between the air guiding cover 10 and the housing 20. The number of the mounting plates 115 is not limited. Exemplarily, the air guiding cover 10 may include 8 mounting plates 115.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , a plurality of safety rope hanging holes 111a may be formed in the main body section 111.

[0058] During the installation process of the air guiding cover 10, the installation rope can be inserted into the safety rope hanging holes 111a to hoist the air guiding cover 10, thereby preventing the air guiding cover 10 from falling off during the installation process.
