[0065] The realization, functional features and advantages of the present utility model will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiments

[0066] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0067] The outdoor unit has a housing assembly and an electric control box, and the electric control box is connected to the housing assembly. In the related art, to ensure the stable cooperation between the electric control box and the housing assembly, screws are usually used to install the electric control box on the housing assembly. Specifically, the electric control box is generally connected to the partition plate by screws. During the actual assembly process, first, the hole positions of the electric control box and the partition plate need to be aligned and pre-positioned, and then the screws are screwed into the threaded holes on the electric control box and the partition plate. In daily use, if the electric control box needs to be replaced or repaired, the whole machine needs to be disassembled to replace or repair the electric control box, and the repair is difficult. The installation and disassembly operations of the electric control box in the related art have many procedures and low disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0068] To solve the above problems, initially, the applicant of the present application replaced the threaded connection structure of the electric control box with a snap - limit structure. However, during the subsequent operation process, it was found that since the limit stability of the snap - limit structure was relatively low, after replacing the threaded limit structure with a snap - limit structure, multiple additional snap structures were required, and different snap structures were needed to position different azimuth positions of the electric control box in order to make the electric control box have relatively high positioning stability. This solution increased the structural complexity of the electric control box and the processing cost.

[0069] In view of this, as Figures 1 to 16 shown, the present application proposes an outdoor unit 100. As Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the outdoor unit 100 includes a housing assembly 110 and an electric control box 120.

[0070] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the housing assembly 110 includes a first housing 111 and a partition 112. The first housing 111 defines a first accommodation cavity 1111. The partition 112 is connected to the first housing 111 and divides the first accommodation cavity 1111. The partition 112 includes a first plate body 1121 extending along the vertical direction X and a second plate body 1122 extending along the horizontal direction. The first plate body 1121 and the second plate body 1122 can divide the first accommodation cavity 1111 into multiple chambers and are used to install any suitable components inside the outdoor unit 100. Preferably, the first plate body 1121 can divide the first accommodation cavity 1111 into a first chamber 11111 and a second chamber 11112 arranged adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction. The first chamber 11111 is used to install the impeller 130 of the outdoor unit 100, and the second chamber 11112 is used to install the compressor of the outdoor unit 100. The second plate body 1122 is connected to the first plate body 1121. Along the vertical direction X, the second plate body 1122 can jointly define the first chamber 11111 and / or the second chamber 11112 with the first plate body 1121. The second plate body 1122 can also divide the first accommodation cavity 1111 into a third chamber for installing the electric control box 120. The first chamber 11111, the second chamber 11112, and the third chamber can communicate with each other to facilitate the electrical connection of each component of the outdoor unit 100 and the air flow.

[0071] In the partition 112, the first plate body 1121 and / or the second plate body 1122 can be connected to the first housing 111. Preferably, as Figure 1As shown, the first plate body 1121 is connected to the first shell 111, and the second plate body 1122 is connected to the first plate body 1121. Further, in order to enhance the connection stability between the partition 112 and the shell assembly 110, the first plate body 1121 may include a connecting plate 11211 and a supporting plate 11212, the connecting plate 11211 and the supporting plate 11212 both extend along the vertical direction X, the connecting plate 11211 and the supporting plate 11212 are cross-arranged, the connecting plate 11211 is fitted and fixed to the wall surface of the shell assembly 110, and the supporting plate 11212 extends to the first accommodating cavity 1111 to separate the first accommodating cavity 1111 and support the second plate body 1122. In some embodiments, the supporting plate 11212 may also directly support the electric control assembly, that is, the supporting plate 11212 may directly or indirectly support the electric control box 120. It should be noted that the vertical direction X referred to in the technical solution of the present application refers to the direction of gravity on the electric control box 120 , and the horizontal direction is a direction intersecting the vertical direction X. Preferably, the horizontal direction may be perpendicular to the vertical direction X.

[0072] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the electric control box 120 is carried on the second plate 1122, and the electric control box 120 includes a first clamping portion 121, and the first clamping portion 121 is clamped to the housing assembly 110. Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the electrical control box 120 includes a shell and an electrical control component arranged inside the shell. The electrical control component can receive instructions from the user interface, such as temperature setting, wind speed adjustment and other instructions, and control the working status of various components of the air-conditioning system, such as the compressor, wind wheel, etc. according to the instructions, so as to realize the control of the operating status of the outdoor unit 100.

[0073] Compared with the related art in which the electric control box 120 is fixed to the housing assembly 110 by screws, the electric control box 120 is clamped to the housing assembly 110 to improve the convenience of installation and removal of the electric control box 120 . Furthermore, in order to improve the positioning stability of the clip-on structure and reduce the number of clip-on structures, in the technical solution of the present application, a transversely extending second plate body 1122 is formed on the original vertically extending partition (the second plate body 1122 can be formed by integral bending or by welding and splicing), and the transversely extending second plate body 1122 is used to support the electric control box 120. On the one hand, the setting of the second plate body 1122 provides a basic platform for the installation of the electric control box 120, reduces the installation load-bearing requirement of the first clip-on portion 121, and improves the stability of the electric control box 120. On the other hand, the setting of the second plate body 1122 can limit the movement of the electric control box 120, thereby helping to simplify the structure of the first clip-on portion 121, thereby reducing the number of clip-on structures and improving the installation convenience of the electric control box 120 and the shell assembly 110.

[0074] The first clamping portion 121 can be clamped to the first housing 111 or the partition plate 112. As Figure 5 shown, preferably, the first clamping portion 121 is clamped to the partition plate 112. The first housing 111 defines a container, the partition plate 112 penetrates through the first accommodation cavity 1111, and the first clamping portion 121 being clamped to the partition plate 112 can improve and reduce the structure of the housing assembly 110, simplify the design of the housing assembly 110, and improve the installation convenience of the electric control assembly. The first clamping portion 121 can be a buckle, and the partition plate 112 can be provided with corresponding protrusions, buckles or card slots for clamping with the first clamping portion 121. The first clamping portion 121 can also be a protrusion with a card slot, and the partition plate 112 is configured as a corresponding buckle or protrusion, etc., which is not limited here. Further, the first clamping portion 121 can be clamped to the first plate body 1121 or the second plate body 1122. Preferably, the first clamping portion 121 is clamped to the second plate body 1122. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first clamping portion 121 includes a third plate body 1211 and a buckle body 1212, the buckle body 1212 is connected to the third plate body 1211, and the buckle body 1212 and the third plate body 1211 jointly define a first card slot 1213. The second plate body 1122 abuts against the third plate body 1211 and the second plate body 1122 is adapted to be clamped in the first card slot 1213. Along the transverse direction, one end of the second plate body 1122 is connected to the first plate body 1121, and the other end is used for clamping with the first clamping portion 121. During installation, the electric control box 120 is pushed along the transverse direction, and the end of the second plate body 1122 away from the first plate body 1121 is directly inserted into the first card slot 1213, and the second plate body 1122 and the first clamping portion 121 form a plug and socket clamping structure, thereby realizing the fixation of the electric control box 120.

[0075] The first clamping portion 121 is clamped to the second plate body 1122. Further, the first plate body 1121 can also be clamped to the electric control assembly. As Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, along the vertical direction X, one end of the first plate body 1121 is connected to the first housing 111, and the other end is connected to the second plate body 1122. One end of the first plate body 1121 close to the second plate body 1122 has a second clamping portion 1123. The second clamping portion 1123 is adapted to be clamped with the electric control box 120, and the second clamping portion 1123 is used to restrict the movement of the electric control box 120 along the vertical direction X and / or the transverse direction. The second clamping portion 1123 can be a buckle or a protrusion with a clamping groove, etc. The second clamping portion 1123 can be the same as the first clamping portion 121 or different from the first clamping portion 121, and no limitation is made here. The second clamping portion 1123 is used to restrict the movement of the electric control box 120 in the vertical direction X and / or the transverse direction. Specifically, the second clamping portion 1123 can clamp or abut against both sides of the electric control box 120 along the vertical direction X to restrict the movement of the electric control box 120 along the vertical direction X; the second clamping portion 1123 can clamp or abut against both sides of the electric control box 120 along the transverse direction to restrict the transverse movement of the electric control box 120. Further, the transverse direction can include a first direction Y and a second direction Z that intersect each other. The second plate body 1122 can extend along the first direction Y. The first clamping portion 121 can restrict the movement of the electric control box 120 in any direction among the vertical direction X, the first direction Y, and the second direction Z. The second clamping portion 1123 can also assist the first clamping portion 121 to restrict the movement of the electric control box 120 in any direction among the vertical direction X, the first direction Y, and the second direction Z, thereby further improving the stability of the electric control box 120.

[0076] Preferably, as Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, the second clamping portion 1123 defines a first slot body 11231 and a second slot body 11232. Along the vertical direction X, the slot depth of the first slot body 11231 is greater than the slot depth of the second slot body 11232. The lower side of the electric control box 120 has a first protrusion 122 and a second protrusion 123. The first protrusion 122 abuts against the wall surface of the first slot body 11231, and the second protrusion 123 abuts against the wall surface of the second slot body 11232. The vertical direction X is the gravity direction of the electric control box 120. In some embodiments, the housing assembly 110 includes a top cover and a bottom cover that are arranged opposite to each other along the vertical direction X. The lower side of the electric control box 120 is the side of the electric control box 120 close to the bottom cover. The first protrusion 122 on the lower side of the electric control box 120 can be a plate body, side edge or reinforcing rib of the electric control box 120, and the second protrusion 123 can also be a plate body, side edge or reinforcing rib of the electric control box 120. No limitation is made here. Along the vertical direction X, the groove depth of the first groove body 11231 is greater than the groove depth of the second groove body 11232, that is, the second clamping portion 1123 defines a two-stage sink for clamping with the electric control box 120. The first protrusion 122 abuts against the wall of the first groove body 11231. Preferably, the first protrusion 122 is configured as a reinforcing rib on the lower side of the electric control box 120. The first protrusion 122 abuts against the wall of the first groove body 11231 so that the second clamping portion 1123 can limit the movement of the electric control box 120 along the vertical direction X and the horizontal direction. In some embodiments, the first protrusion 122 can have an interference fit with the wall of the first groove body 11231. In some embodiments, along the first direction Y or the second direction Z, the first protrusion 122 can have a gap with the wall of the first groove body 11231, which is not limited here. The second protrusion 123 abuts against the wall of the second slot 11232. Preferably, the second protrusion 123 is configured as a plate of the electric control box 120 away from the first limiting portion 1124 along the first direction Y. Along the first direction Y, one side of the electric control box 120 abuts against the first limiting portion 1124, and the other side abuts against the wall of the second slot 11232, so that the wall of the second slot 11232 can further limit the movement of the electric control box 120 along the first direction Y. In some embodiments, the second protrusion 123 can be interference fit with the wall of the second slot 11232. In some embodiments, along the second direction Z, the second protrusion 123 can have a gap with the wall of the second slot 11232, which is not limited here. It should be noted that, according to different installation requirements of the electric control box 120, in some embodiments, the second clamping portion 1123 can define a sink of no less than two levels, which is not limited here.

[0077] The second plate body 1122 bears the electric control box 120, and the first clamping portion 121 is clamped to the second plate body 1122 to limit the movement of the electric control box 120 along the vertical direction X. The movement of the electric control box 120 in the transverse direction can be restricted by the first clamping portion 121 and other structures. It can be understood that the transverse direction includes the first direction Y and the second direction Z that intersect each other, and the first clamping portion 121 is clamped to the partition 112 to limit the movement of the electric control box 120 along the first direction Y. Preferably, as Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the partition 112 includes a first limiting portion 1124 and a second limiting portion 1125 that are oppositely arranged along the second direction Z. Along the second direction Z, one side of the electric control box 120 abuts against the first limiting portion 1124 and the other side abuts against the second limiting portion 1125. That is to say, the first limiting portion 1124 and the second limiting portion 1125 jointly clamp the electric control box 120 in the transverse direction. Specifically, the first limiting portion 1124 and the second limiting portion 1125 can abut against or be clamped to the electric control box 120, etc. The first limiting portion 1124 and the second limiting portion 1125 can be used to limit the movement of the electric control box 120 in the first direction Y and / or the second direction Z.

The second plate body 1122 can extend toward the chamber for installing the compressor, and the first limiting portion 1124 and the second limiting portion 1125 can extend toward the chamber for installing the wind wheel. The first limiting portion 1124 and the second limiting portion 1125 are provided on different sides of the first plate body 1121 to help increase the clamping width of the electric control box 120 and the partition 112, thereby improving the connection stability of the electric control box 120 and the housing assembly 110.

[0080] The second plate body 1122 can be snap-connected, welded, integrally formed or bolt-connected to the first plate body 1121. The second plate body 1122 can be disposed at the end of the first plate body 1121 or between both ends of the plate body along the first direction Y. Preferably, the second plate body 1122 is integrally bent and formed at one end of the first plate body 1121. Further, in some embodiments, the second plate body 1122 can be bent and formed at the upper end of the first plate body 1121, and the electric control box 120 abuts against the side of the second plate body 1122 away from the first plate body 1121. That is to say, the second plate body 1122 is connected to the upper end of the first plate body 1121, the electric control box 120 is also disposed at the upper end of the first plate body 1121, and the first plate body 1121 supports the electric control box 120 in the upper chamber of the first accommodation cavity 1111. In some embodiments, the second plate body 1122 is bent and formed at the lower end of the first plate body 1121, and the electric control box 120 abuts against the side of the second plate body 1122 close to the first plate body 1121. Preferably, the partition plate 112 is suspended on the housing assembly 110, and the second plate body 1122 bears the electric control box 120 and the upper chamber of the first accommodation cavity 1111.

[0081] To further enhance the connection stability between the second plate body 1122 and the electric control box 120, the second plate body 1122 can also be provided with a card slot for snap-connecting with the electric control box 120. Preferably, the second plate body 1122 is recessed with a fifth card slot 11221 on the side away from the electric control box 120, and the electric control box 120 has a third protrusion 126, and the third protrusion 126 abuts against the wall surface of the fifth card slot 11221.

To further improve the supporting ability of the second plate body 1122, the partition plate 112 can also have a reinforcing rib 1126, and the reinforcing rib 1126 is connected to the side of the second plate body 1122 away from the electric control box 120. Preferably, along the vertical direction X, the second plate body 1122 can be provided with a fifth card slot 11221 on one side, and a reinforcing rib 1126 is formed by the wall surface of the recessed fifth card slot 11221 on the other side.

[0082] The housing assembly 110 can be set according to different requirements of the outdoor unit 100. Preferably, the first housing 111 includes a top plate 1112 and a bottom plate 1113 arranged opposite to each other along the vertical direction X. Along the vertical direction X, one end of the first plate body 1121 is connected to the bottom plate 1113 and the other end is connected to the second plate body 1122. One side of the electronic control box 120 abuts against the second plate body 1122, and the other side abuts against the top plate 1112. The electronic control box 120 can be connected to the top plate 1112 in any suitable manner. Preferably, the electronic control box 120 can be snap-connected to the top plate 1112. That is to say, the partition 112 and the top plate 1112 form an installation chamber for the electronic control box 120, and the electronic control box 120 can be snap-connected to the partition 112 and the top plate 1112 respectively. According to different usage requirements, the top plate 1112 can be configured as a fireproof sheet metal, and the bottom plate 1113 can be configured as a water receiving tray for connecting to a compressor or a condenser, etc., which is not limited here.

[0083] The electronic control box 120 is used to control the operating state of the outdoor unit 100. To enhance the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control box 120, a heat dissipation port 1271 can be provided on the electronic control box 120. The heat dissipation port 1271 is communicated with the chamber where the wind wheel 130 is located, so that the airflow generated by the wind wheel 130 can accelerate the airflow circulation efficiency in the electronic control box 120, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the control box 120. Since the condensed water in the outdoor unit 100 is thrown out by the wind wheel 130 along the circumferential direction of its own rotation axis after dropping onto the wind wheel 130, in order to reduce the risk of the thrown condensed water entering the interior of the electronic control box 120 from the heat dissipation port 1271, the heat dissipation port 1271 of the electronic control box 120 may not face the wind wheel 130. Specifically, as Figure 17 、 Figure 18 、 Figure 19 and Figure 21 shown, in some embodiments, the partition 112 divides the first accommodation chamber 1111 into a first chamber 11111 for placing the wind wheel 130. The electronic control box 120 has a heat dissipation port 1271 communicated with the first chamber 11111, and the heat dissipation port 1271 faces the side parallel to the rotation axis of the wind wheel 130. Exemplarily, when the rotation axis of the wind wheel 130 is parallel to the front-rear direction of the outdoor unit 100, the heat dissipation port 1271 can face the front side of the outdoor unit 100 or the rear side of the outdoor unit 100. This solution makes it difficult for the condensed water to enter the electronic control box 120 from the heat dissipation port 1271 when it is thrown out by the wind wheel 130 along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis. And when the heat dissipation port 1271 is arranged as above, the heat dissipation port 1271 can be located on the side plate of the electronic control box 120 facing the wind wheel 130, thereby improving the airflow exchange efficiency.

[0084] See Figures 17 - 21In some embodiments, the second direction Z intersects with the vertical direction X (specifically, it can be perpendicular), the housing assembly 110 includes a front panel 113, the front panel 113 and the electric control box 120 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Z, the rotation axis of the wind wheel 130 is parallel to the second direction Z, the partition 112 separates the first accommodating cavity 1111 into a first chamber 11111 for placing the wind wheel 130, the electric control box 120 includes a baffle 127 and a second housing 128, the second housing 128 defines a second accommodating cavity 1281, and the second housing 128 is also provided with an opening communicating with the second accommodating cavity 1281. In order to accelerate the airflow, the opening of the second housing 128 can be provided on the plate of the second housing 128 facing the wind wheel 130. The baffle 127 is connected to the second housing 128 and covers a part of the opening of the second housing 128, and the baffle 127 and the second housing 128 jointly define a heat dissipation port 1271, and the heat dissipation port 1271 is communicated with the second accommodating cavity 1281. That is to say, the wind wheel 130 runs in the first chamber 11111, and the airflow in the first chamber 11111 can enter the second accommodating chamber 1281 through the heat dissipation port 1271, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation of the electric control box 120. The setting of the baffle 127 can reduce the condensed water from entering the second accommodating chamber 1281 from the heat dissipation port 1271. Specifically, the outdoor unit 100 may also include a front panel 113 and a condenser, and the condenser, the electric control box 120 and the front panel 113 are sequentially arranged along the second direction Z, that is, the front panel 113 is arranged on the side of the electric control box 120 away from the condenser, and the front panel 113 is provided with an air outlet, the wind wheel 130 rotates around an axis parallel to the second direction Z, the heat dissipation port 1271 extends along the second direction Z, and the heat dissipation port 1271 faces the front panel 113, so that the risk of the wind wheel 130 driving the condensed water into the heat dissipation port 1271 is greatly reduced.

[0085] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the baffle 127 can be integrally formed with the second housing 128. Preferably, the baffle 127 can be formed by stamping the second housing 128 outward from one side of the second accommodating cavity 1281. Along the first direction Y, the height of the baffle 127 can be 2 mm to 5 mm. Specifically, the height of the baffle 127 can be 2 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm or 5 mm. Preferably, the height of the baffle 127 can be 3 mm. Further, the electric control box 120 can be provided with a plurality of heat dissipation ports 1271 and a plurality of baffles 127. The heat dissipation ports 1271 can correspond to the baffles 127 one by one.

[0086] See also Figures 18 - 21, in some embodiments, the partition 112 divides the first accommodation cavity 1111 into a first chamber 11111 for placing the wind wheel 130, and the electronic control box 120 has a heat dissipation port 1271 communicating with the first chamber 11111. In this embodiment, the orientation of the heat dissipation port 1271 can be set arbitrarily, that is, the heat dissipation port 1271 can face one side in the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the wind wheel 130, or the heat dissipation port 1271 can also face the wind wheel. The electronic control box 130 includes a second housing 128, a radiator 1292, and a heat insulation pad 1293. The second housing 128 is provided with the heat dissipation port 1271, a control part 1291 can be arranged in the second housing 128, the radiator 1292 is connected to and penetrates through the second housing 128, the radiator 1292 is used for dissipating heat from the control part 1291, and the radiator 1292 is arranged at an interval from the heat dissipation port 1271 outside the second housing 128. The heat insulation pad 1293 is connected to the second housing 128 and is arranged between the radiator 1292 and the heat dissipation port 1271, and the heat insulation pad 1293 is used to prevent the heat of the radiator 1292 from being conducted to the heat dissipation port 1271. See Figure 21 , the second housing 128 protrudes with a waterproof rib 1282, the waterproof rib 1282 is arranged below the heat dissipation port 1271 and abuts against the heat insulation pad 1293, so that the second housing 128 and the heat insulation pad 1293 jointly define a flow channel 1294 penetrating in the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the wind wheel 130, and the heat dissipation port 1271 communicates with the flow channel 1294. In this solution, through the cooperation of the waterproof rib 1282 and the heat insulation pad 1293, it is further prevented that the condensed water thrown by the wind wheel 130 is guided into the second housing 128 from the heat dissipation port 1271, improving the heat dissipation effect and waterproof effect of the electronic control box 120.
