Detailed Embodiments

[0020] The principles and features of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0021] The housing provided in an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, includes: a chassis 100, the chassis 100 includes a bottom wall 110 and a peripheral wall 120, and the periphery of the bottom wall 110 is connected to the lower end of the peripheral wall 120; and a valve plate 200, the lower end of the valve plate 200 is located inside the peripheral wall 120 and above the bottom wall 110, the valve plate 200 includes a main body plate 210 and a flange 220, and the lower end of the main body plate 210 is connected to one end of the flange 220 adjacent to the peripheral wall 120; wherein, the flange 220 is provided with a plug-in portion 310, the chassis 100 is provided with a plug-in mating portion 320, the plug-in portion 310 and the plug-in mating portion 320 are plug-connected in the up and down direction, and the lower part of the main body plate 210 abuts against the inner side surface of the peripheral wall 120.

[0022] In this housing, the plug-in portion 310 and the plug-in mating portion 320 are plug-connected in the up and down direction to realize pre-positioning of the valve plate 200 on the chassis 100. At the same time, the lower part of the main body plate 210 abuts against the inner side surface of the peripheral wall 120. In this way, the peripheral wall 120 supports the main body plate 210 on the side of the main body plate 210 facing away from the plug-in portion 310 and the plug-in mating portion 320, which will prevent the valve plate 200 from tilting or toppling. Therefore, the pre-positioning effect of the valve plate 200 on the chassis 100 in this solution is better.

[0023] It can be, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the main body plate 210 is vertically arranged in the front-rear direction, the flange 220 is arranged in the horizontal direction, the lower end of the main body plate 210 is connected to one end of the flange 220 adjacent to the right side wall of the peripheral wall 120, and the lower part of the main body plate 210 abuts against the left side surface of the right side wall of the peripheral wall 120; or it can be that the main body plate 210 is vertically arranged in the front-rear direction, the flange 220 is arranged in the horizontal direction, the lower end of the main body plate 210 is connected to one end of the flange 220 adjacent to the left side wall of the peripheral wall 120, and the lower part of the main body plate 210 abuts against the right side surface of the left side wall of the peripheral wall 120, etc.; the above can all achieve the purpose of the present application, and its gist does not deviate from the design concept of the present utility model, so it will not be elaborated here and should all fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0024] In some examples, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, one of the plug-in portion 310 and the plug-in mating portion 320 is a plug rib and the other is a socket, and the plug rib is inserted into the socket. This solution has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0025] It can be, as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the insertion part 310 is set as an insertion bar, and the insertion and mating part 320 is set as a socket. At this time, the valve plate 200 moves downward toward the chassis 100, so that the insertion bar is inserted downward into the socket, and the lower part of the main body plate 210 abuts against the inner side surface of the peripheral wall 120. This process can be easily achieved by manual operation or robotic operation; alternatively, the insertion part 310 can be set as a socket, and the insertion and mating part 320 can be set as an insertion bar. At this time, the valve plate 200 moves downward toward the chassis 100, so that the socket is inserted downward over the insertion bar, and the lower part of the main body plate 210 abuts against the inner side surface of the peripheral wall 120. This process can be easily achieved by manual operation or robotic operation; the above can all achieve the purpose of this application, and its gist does not deviate from the design concept of the present utility model, so it will not be elaborated here and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0026] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the insertion bar is a long bar extending along the first horizontal direction, and a guiding part 311 is provided at the end of the long bar in the first horizontal direction. The guiding part 311 guides the long bar to be inserted into the socket, realizing the quick insertion of the long bar and the socket together, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the valve plate 200 and the chassis 100.

[0027] It can be that, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the guiding part 311 is set as a guiding inclined surface; or it can be that the guiding part 311 is set as a guiding curved surface, etc.; the above can all achieve the purpose of this application, and its gist does not deviate from the design concept of the present utility model, so it will not be elaborated here and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0028] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the socket is a long opening extending along the first horizontal direction, and a contraction section 321 is provided at the end of the long opening in the first horizontal direction. The width of the contraction section 321 gradually increases from one end far away from the middle of the socket to one end close to the middle of the socket. The contraction section 321 can better limit the long bar in the horizontal direction and prevent the long bar from moving horizontally in the long opening.

[0029] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, guiding inclined surfaces are provided at both ends of the long strip rib in the first horizontal direction, and contraction sections 321 are provided at both ends of the long strip opening in the first horizontal direction. In this way, the width of the middle part of the long strip opening is larger, the bottom length of the long strip rib gradually decreases downward, and is not greater than the length of the middle part of the long strip opening. In this way, the bottom of the long strip rib can be inserted into the long strip opening more quickly. As the long strip rib continues to move downward, the long strip rib will be smoothly inserted into place in the long strip opening under the guidance of the guiding inclined surface. At this time, the length of the part of the long strip rib located in the long strip opening is generally equivalent to the length of the long strip opening. The two contraction sections 321 limit the two ends of the long strip rib in the first horizontal direction in the horizontal direction, preventing the long strip rib from moving horizontally in the long strip opening.

[0030] It can be, for example Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first horizontal direction is the front-back direction; or it can be that the first horizontal direction is the left-right direction or other ways; the above can all achieve the purpose of this application, and its gist does not deviate from the design concept of the present utility model, so it will not be elaborated here and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0031] It can be that the inserting rib and the inserting opening include a group; or it can be, for example Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the inserting rib and the inserting opening include multiple groups, and the multiple groups of inserting ribs and inserting openings are arranged at intervals in the front-back direction or the left-right direction. The folding edge 220 can improve the structural strength of multiple inserting parts 310 and prevent one or more of the multiple inserting parts 310 from deforming. The multiple groups can be two groups, three groups, four groups, etc.; the above can all achieve the purpose of this application, and its gist does not deviate from the design concept of the present utility model, so it will not be elaborated here and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0032] In some examples, for example Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall 110 includes a convex region 111 protruding upward and a concave region 112 recessed downward. The concave region 112 is located between the convex region 111 and the peripheral wall 120. The folding edge 220 includes a first matching section 221 and a second matching section 222. The second matching section 222 is located on the side of the first matching section 221 away from the main body plate 210 and corresponds to the convex region 111 in position. The first matching section 221 corresponds to the concave region 112 in position. The inserting part 310 is provided at one end of the second matching section 222 away from the first matching section 221, and the inserting and matching part 320 is provided on the convex region 111.

[0033] Among them, for example Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the concave area 112 is located between the convex area 111 and the right side wall of the peripheral wall 120. The second mating section 222 is located above and to the left of the first mating section 221. When the plug-in mating portion 320 is a long slot, since the long slot is located in the convex area 111 rather than in the concave area 112, when there is water in the chassis 100, the water in the chassis 100 will accumulate in the concave area 112 and will not leak out through the long slot.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, at the position where the first mating section 221 is connected to the main body plate 210, there is a reinforcing rib 230. The reinforcing rib 230 is used to enhance the structural strength of the position where the first mating section 221 is connected to the main body plate 210, avoid bending deformation at the position where the first mating section 221 is connected to the main body plate 210, and better ensure the bending angle between the first mating section 221 and the main body plate 210. It can be that the reinforcing rib 230 includes one; or it can be that the reinforcing rib 230 includes multiple ones, and the multiple reinforcing ribs 230 are arranged at intervals in the first horizontal direction, etc.; the above can all achieve the purpose of this application, and its gist does not depart from the design concept of the present utility model, so it will not be elaborated here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0035] In some embodiments, the peripheral wall 120 and the main body plate 210 are fixedly connected by screws (not shown in the figure), so as to fix the valve plate 200 and the chassis 100 together. This solution has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The peripheral wall 120 and the main body plate 210 are fixedly connected by screws, that is: as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the right side wall of the peripheral wall 120 is provided with through holes, and the lower part of the main body plate 210 is provided with screw holes. The screws pass through the through holes and are screwed into the screw holes to realize the fixed connection between the peripheral wall 120 and the main body plate 210 by screws.

[0037] This air conditioner outdoor unit has all the advantages of the housing provided in any of the above embodiments, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0039] This air conditioner has all the advantages of the air conditioner outdoor unit provided in any of the above embodiments, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0040] In summary, for the housing provided in the embodiments of the present application, the plug-in portion and the plug-in mating portion are plug-connected in the up-down direction to achieve pre-positioning of the valve plate on the chassis. At the same time, the lower portion of the main body plate abuts against the inner side surface of the peripheral wall. In this way, the peripheral wall supports the main body plate on the side of the main body plate facing away from the plug-in portion and the plug-in mating portion, which can prevent the valve plate from tilting or toppling. Therefore, the pre-positioning effect of the valve plate on the chassis in this solution is better.
