[0027] To illustrate in detail the possible application scenarios, technical principles, specific implementable solutions, achievable purposes and effects of the present application, the following will be described in detail with reference to the specific examples listed and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described herein are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and thus are only examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present application.
[0028] In the description of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.
[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
[0030] Embodiments of the present application provide a waterproof structure and an outdoor unit of an air conditioner to solve the problem that rainwater easily leaks into the electrical components in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner through the gap between the two plates, thereby causing damage to the electrical components. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , embodiments of the present application provide a waterproof structure, including a first mounting plate 1, a second mounting plate 2, and a drainage member 3. The second mounting plate 2 is disposed at one end of the first mounting plate 1 in the first direction, and the drainage member 3 is disposed on one side of the first mounting plate 1. The drainage member 3 connects the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, and a drainage groove 31 is formed in the drainage member 3. The bottom of the drainage groove 31 faces the gap between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2.
[0032] By providing the drainage member 3, both the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 are connected to the drainage member 3, which can strengthen the connection between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2. By forming the drainage groove 31 in the drainage member 3, the drainage groove 31 is used to receive the water flowing from the gap between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, thereby reducing the occurrence of water leaking onto the electrical components and solving the problem that rainwater easily leaks into the electrical components in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner through the gap between the two plates.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the drainage groove 31 runs through the drainage member 3 along the second direction. A first connecting plate 32 and a second connecting plate 33 are fixedly connected to the side of the drainage member 3 close to the first mounting plate 1. The first connecting plate 32 is used for fixedly connecting with the first connecting plate 32, and the second connecting plate 33 is used for fixedly connecting with the second mounting plate 2. The first connecting plate 32 and the second connecting plate 33 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The first connecting plate 32 is located on one side of the mouth of the drainage groove 31, and the second connecting plate 33 is located on the other side of the mouth of the drainage groove 31, and the second connecting plate 33 is arranged directly above the bottom of the drainage groove 31. Threaded holes are formed in both the first connecting plate 32 and the second connecting plate 33. By passing a bolt through the first mounting plate 1 and threadedly connecting it with the threaded hole in the first connecting plate 32, the fixed connection between the first mounting plate 1 and the drainage member 3 can be achieved. By passing a bolt through the second mounting plate 2 and threadedly connecting it with the threaded hole in the second connecting plate 33, the fixed connection between the second mounting plate 2 and the drainage member 3 can be achieved. In addition, the width of the drainage groove 31 is greater than the width of the gap between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, which not only enables the water flowing through the gap between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 to flow into the drainage groove 31, but also helps to compensate for the installation error between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2.
[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first direction is the length direction of the first mounting plate 1, and the second direction is the width direction of the first mounting plate 1.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , on one side of the first mounting plate 1 close to the second mounting plate 2, a first diversion plate 41 is integrally formed. The first diversion plate 41 is perpendicular to the first mounting plate 1 and one end of the first diversion plate 41 away from the first mounting plate 1 extends into the drainage groove 31; on one side of the second mounting plate 2 close to the first mounting plate 1, a second diversion plate 42 is integrally formed. The second diversion plate 42 is perpendicular to the second mounting plate 2 and one end of the second diversion plate 42 away from the second mounting plate 2 extends into the drainage groove 31. The first diversion plate 41 and the second diversion plate 42 are arranged oppositely and form a gap, so that when water flows through the gap between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2, it can flow into the drainage groove 31 along the first diversion plate 41 and / or the second diversion plate 42. The length of the drainage groove 31 is greater than the length of the first diversion plate 41 and the length of the second diversion plate 42, so that both the first diversion plate 41 and the second diversion plate 42 can be completely placed in the drainage groove 31, facilitating the drainage groove 31 to completely receive the water flowing down from the first diversion plate 41 and / or the second diversion plate 42. The length of the water receiving tray is less than the length of one side of the first mounting plate 1 close to the second mounting plate 2 and the length of one side of the second mounting plate 2 close to the first mounting plate 1, so that the water flowing into the drainage groove 31 can flow out.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the waterproof structure further includes a bracket 5 and a water receiving tray 6. The first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 5, and the water receiving tray 6 is arranged at the bottom of the bracket 5. The bottom of the water receiving tray 6 slopes downward in the opposite direction of the first direction, and a drainage hole 61 is opened on one side of the bottom of the water receiving tray 6 in the opposite direction of the first direction, so as to facilitate the drainage of the water on the water receiving tray 6. The water receiving tray 6 can carry and drain the water flowing out from the drainage groove 31, reducing the occurrence of water flowing to other components inside the air conditioner.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments of the present application, the first mounting plate 1 is used to mount a blower, and the second mounting plate 2 serves as a maintenance plate of the air conditioner outdoor unit. A blower mounting portion 12 is provided on the first mounting plate 1. When the blower is mounted on the first mounting plate 1, by providing the drainage member 3, water can flow into the water receiving tray 6 from both ends of the drainage groove 31, reducing the occurrence of the wind generated by the blower blowing the water flowing down from the gap between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 to one side of the second mounting plate 2, thereby causing damage to electrical components.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5, on one side of the first mounting plate 1 close to the drainage member 3, a water retaining ring 11 is provided. The water retaining ring 11 is arranged between the blower mounting portion 12 and the drainage member 3. When water falls from the blower mounting portion 12, the setting of the water retaining ring 11 can reduce the water splashed by the blower from splashing onto the electrical components, thereby improving the safety of the electrical components. In addition, at one end of the drainage member 3 in the first direction, a plurality of wire clips 7 are provided. The plurality of wire clips 7 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the drainage member 3. The wire clip 7 includes a fixing plate 71 and a fixing block 72. The fixing plate 71 is fixedly connected to the drainage member 3, and the fixing block 72 is connected to the side of the fixing plate 71 away from the drainage member 3. A wire passing hole 73 is formed in the fixing block 72. By passing the cable in the air conditioner outdoor unit through the wire passing hole 73, the drainage member 3 can bundle and fix the cable.
[0039] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, and the air conditioner outdoor unit includes the waterproof structure as described above. Since the air conditioner outdoor unit has the above waterproof structure, it has at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the above waterproof structure, which will not be elaborated one by one here.
[0040] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphases. For the parts not detailed in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of the specification of the present application, the patent protection scope of the present application cannot be limited thereby.
