[0047] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below.

[0048] Below, refer to Figures 1-13 Describe the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 according to the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0049] Refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 according to the embodiments of the present utility model includes: a housing 10, an outdoor heat exchanger 20, a stop valve mounting plate 30, and a stop valve 40. The housing 10 includes a side plate 50 and a chassis 11. The side plate 50 is connected to the chassis 11, which can facilitate the formation of an installation space between the side plate 50 and the chassis 11, thereby facilitating the installation of the outdoor heat exchanger 20.

[0050] The outdoor heat exchanger 20 is disposed on the chassis 11. The outdoor heat exchanger 20 discharges the heat in the hot air that circulates back from the indoor, cooling it into a liquid refrigerant. By cooling the hot air into a liquid, the outdoor heat exchanger 20 discharges the heat, enabling the refrigerant to circulate back to the air conditioner indoor unit again to continue absorbing the indoor heat, thereby achieving the refrigeration effect of the air conditioning system.

[0051] Moreover, the chassis 11 can not only provide a supporting force for the outdoor heat exchanger 20 but also provide an installation position for the outdoor heat exchanger 20.

[0052] The stop valve mounting plate 30 is connected to the chassis 11, and the stop valve 40 is mounted on the stop valve mounting plate 30, which can transfer the force of the stop valve 40 to the chassis 11, thereby reducing the force on the stop valve mounting plate 30.

[0053] In addition, the stop valve mounting plate 30 is formed with a gas valve mounting groove 31 and a liquid valve mounting groove 32. The gas valve mounting groove 31 can facilitate the passing and installation of the gas valve 41, and the liquid valve mounting groove 32 can facilitate the passing and installation of the liquid valve 42.

[0054] In addition, the stop valve 40 includes an air valve 41 and a liquid valve 42. Both the air valve 41 and the liquid valve 42 are connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 20. Among them, the air valve 41 is first connected to the four-way valve. The four-way valve is located between the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and the four-way valve is respectively connected to the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger 20 through pipelines. In this way, it is convenient for the air valve 41 to precisely control the flow direction and flow rate of the refrigerant.

[0055] The liquid valve 42 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 20. The liquid valve 42 restricts the flow rate of the refrigerant, allowing it to enter the outdoor heat exchanger 20 at an appropriate speed, thereby effectively releasing heat and turning the refrigerant into a liquid state.

[0056] The side plate 50 includes a side plate main body 51 and a shielding portion 52. The side plate 50 is integrally formed by the side plate main body 51 and the shielding portion 52. In this way, it is not only easy to form, but also can reduce the number of parts and lower the cost, thereby improving the production efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0057] In addition, the side plate main body 51 is formed with an avoidance groove 511 with an open bottom. The stop valve mounting plate 30 extends into the avoidance groove 511. The setting of the avoidance groove 511 enables the stop valve mounting plate 30 to be embedded in the avoidance groove 511 and also provides a receiving space for the stop valve mounting plate 30.

[0058] Furthermore, the shielding portion 52 protrudes toward the inside of the avoidance groove 511, and the shielding portion 52 shields the notch 33 of the air valve mounting groove and / or the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32.

[0059] Specifically, the shielding portion 52 protrudes toward the inside of the avoidance groove 511. When only shielding the notch 33 of the air valve mounting groove, during the installation of the shielding portion 52 of the side plate 50, it can directly shield the notch 33 of the air valve mounting groove, thereby preventing foreign objects such as mice from entering the air conditioner through the notch 33 of the air valve mounting groove and avoiding damage to the internal wiring harness. During encapsulation, it also has the advantages of time-saving, convenience, and high efficiency.

[0060] Or, when only shielding the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32, it can directly shield the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32, thereby preventing foreign objects such as mice from entering the air conditioner through the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove and avoiding damage to the internal wiring harness by foreign objects such as mice. It has the function of protecting the internal components of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0061] Furthermore, setting the shielding portion 52 of the side plate 50 can shield the notch 33 of the air valve mounting groove and also the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32. In this way, it can further prevent foreign objects such as mice from entering the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0062] Among them, the notch 33 of the air valve installation groove is located on the first side of the stop valve installation plate 30, and the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32 is located on the second side of the stop valve installation plate 30. That is to say, the notches of the air valve installation groove 33 and the liquid valve installation groove 32 are arranged staggeredly at intervals. In this way, the installation space of the air valve 41 and the liquid valve 42 can be increased, so that the fixed installation of the air valve 41 and the liquid valve 42 can be facilitated, and the pipeline between the air valve 41 and the liquid valve 42 can be prevented from interfering and winding during the installation process.

[0063] Furthermore, the shielding part 52 includes: a first shielding part 521, the first shielding part 521 is located on the first side of the side plate main body 51, and the first shielding part 521 is used for shielding the notch 33 of the air valve installation groove.

[0064] Specifically, the first shielding part 521 extends downward at the avoidance groove 511. When the side plate 50 is installed and the first shielding part 521 of the side plate 50 reaches the installation position, the notch 33 of the air valve installation groove can be directly shielded. In this way, the setting of other parts can be reduced, the purpose of reducing the number of parts can be achieved, and foreign matters such as mice can be prevented from entering the air conditioner through the notch 33 of the air valve installation groove, so that the wire harness inside the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can be prevented from being damaged.

[0065] In addition, the shielding part 52 further includes: a second shielding part 523, the second shielding part 523 is located on the second side of the side plate main body 51, and the second shielding part 523 is used for shielding the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32.

[0066] The second shielding part 523 is located on the second side of the side plate main body 51. In this way, the second shielding part 523 can shield the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32, and foreign matters such as mice can be prevented from entering the air conditioner through the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32.

[0067] Therefore, the setting of the first shielding part 521 in the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can shield the notch 33 of the air valve installation groove, so that foreign matters such as mice can be prevented from entering the air conditioner through the notch 33 of the air valve installation groove. The setting of the second shielding part 523 can shield the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32, so that foreign matters such as mice can be prevented from entering the air conditioner through the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32, the wire harness inside the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can be prevented from being damaged, and the installation procedure and time can be reduced, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3As shown, the gas valve 41 is located above the liquid valve 42. The gas valve 41 has a first connection port 411 and a maintenance port 412. The liquid valve 42 has a second connection port 421. The second connection port 421 is arranged away from the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32. Both the first connection port 411 and the second connection port 421 are connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 20.

[0069] Among them, since the gas valve 41 has a first connection port 411 and a maintenance port 412 and is arranged above the liquid valve 42, it can make it more convenient for workers to maintain and repair. Moreover, arranging the gas valve 41 above the liquid valve 42 can reduce the reflux of the liquid refrigerant into the compressor in the shutdown state, thereby reducing the impact of the liquid refrigerant when the compressor starts and extending the service life of the compressor.

[0070] In addition, the liquid valve 42 has a second connection port 421. Both the first connection port 411 and the second connection port 421 are connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 20. The refrigerant is fully cooled and condensed in the outdoor heat exchanger 20, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency and making the refrigeration performance of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner more stable and efficient.

[0071] Furthermore, the second connection port 421 is arranged away from the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32. In this way, it is convenient for the installation of the liquid valve 42 and can also increase the distance between the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32 and the second connection port 421, thereby avoiding interference between the liquid valve 42 and the lines of the second connection port 421 during the installation process.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 11 shown, the notch 33 of the gas valve installation groove is located at the connection of the first side and the top of the stop valve mounting plate 30. The notch of the gas valve installation groove 31 is arranged to open obliquely upward, and the gas valve installation groove 31 extends obliquely downward from its notch.

[0073] Among them, the notch of the gas valve installation groove 31 is arranged to open obliquely upward, which is convenient for the installation and disassembly of the gas valve 41, convenient for the maintenance of the gas valve 41, and can also increase the installation space of the gas valve 41.

[0074] In addition, the gas valve installation groove 31 extends obliquely downward from its notch. This can facilitate the installation of the gas valve 41 and make the inclination directions of the first connection port 411 and the maintenance port 412 of the gas valve 41 correspond to the inclination direction of the gas valve installation groove, thereby facilitating the connection between the gas valve 41 and the gas valve 41 pipeline and avoiding entanglement between the gas valve 41 pipelines.

[0075] Furthermore, the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32 is located on the second side of the stop valve mounting plate 30, and the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32 is arranged to open toward the second side of the stop valve mounting plate 30. The liquid valve installation groove 32 extends horizontally from its notch to one side of the stop valve mounting plate 30.

[0076] In this way, the installation and disassembly of the liquid valve 42 can be facilitated, the maintenance of the liquid valve 42 can be facilitated, and the size of the liquid valve installation groove 32 can be further reduced, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering through the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32.

[0077] Moreover, the gas valve installation groove 31 extends obliquely downward from its notch, and the liquid valve installation groove 32 extends horizontally from its notch to the first side of the globe valve mounting plate 30, so that the installation positions of the gas valve 41 and the liquid valve 42 can be made clearer, thereby avoiding the misinstallation of the gas valve 41 and the liquid valve 42.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the first side and the top of the first shielding portion 521 are respectively connected to the side plate main body 51, and a first avoiding bevel 522 is provided on the second side of the first shielding portion 521 for avoiding the gas valve 41.

[0079] Among them, the first side and the top of the first shielding portion 521 are connected to the side plate main body 51, so that the first shielding portion 521 and the side plate main body 51 form an integral body, thereby improving the strength of the first shielding portion 521.

[0080] In addition, a first avoiding bevel 522 is provided at a position of the first shielding portion 521 close to the gas valve 41. According to the connection position between the first shielding portion 521 and the gas valve 41, the first avoiding bevel 522 is inclined downward, which can avoid interference between the first avoiding bevel 522 and the gas valve 41, and can also make the gap generated between the gas valve 41 and the first avoiding bevel 522 smaller, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering the interior of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 and Figure 7 shown, the first side of the second shielding portion 523 is connected to the side plate main body 51, and the second shielding portion 523 is bendable relative to the side plate main body 51.

[0082] Among them, the second shielding portion 523 is integrally in the shape of a triangular baffle, and the second shielding portion 523 can rotate relative to the side plate main body 51. When it is necessary to install the liquid valve 42 at the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32, the second shielding portion 523 can be rotated in a direction away from the liquid valve 42, so that the second shielding portion 523 can be bent relative to the side plate main body 51. In this way, during the installation process, interference between the second shielding portion 523 and the second connection port 421 of the liquid valve 42 can be prevented, the situation of paint peeling and deformation between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 can be avoided, and the installation space of the liquid valve 42 can also be increased, thereby facilitating the rapid installation of the liquid valve 42.

[0083] After the liquid valve 42 is installed at the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32, the second shielding portion 523 can be rotated towards the liquid valve 42, so that the second shielding portion 523 can cover the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32. In this way, the gap between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 can be reduced, and foreign objects such as mice can be prevented from entering through the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32.

[0084] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 8 shown, a plurality of weakening holes 60 are provided on the first side of the second shielding portion 523, and the plurality of weakening holes 60 are spaced apart in the height direction of the second shielding portion 523.

[0085] Among them, a plurality of weakening holes 60 are provided at the bending position of the second shielding portion 523 and the side plate 50. The arrangement of the plurality of weakening holes 60 can reduce the resistance at the bending position of the second shielding portion 523 and the side plate 50, so as to facilitate the bending of the second shielding portion 523 relative to the side plate 50.

[0086] Furthermore, the plurality of weakening holes 60 are spaced apart in the height direction of the second shielding portion 523, so that the force in the height direction of the second shielding portion 523 can be more uniform, and the second shielding portion 523 can be rotated with less effort, thus facilitating the shielding of the notch of the liquid valve installation groove 32.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a second avoidance bevel 61 is provided on the second side of the second shielding portion 523, and the second avoidance bevel 61 is used to avoid the liquid valve 42.

[0088] Among them, since the liquid valve 42 is inclined downward, in order to reduce the gap generated between the second avoidance bevel 61 and the liquid valve 42, the second avoidance bevel 61 of the second shielding portion 523 is inclined, so that the gap generated between the second avoidance bevel 61 and the liquid valve 42 can be reduced, and interference between the second avoidance bevel 61 and the liquid valve 42 can also be avoided.

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the stop valve mounting plate 30 is provided with a boss 35 protruding towards the avoidance groove 511, the side plate main body 51 forms a flanging 53 at the edge of the avoidance groove 511, the flanging 53 is attached to the edge of the boss 35, and the first shielding portion 521 and the second shielding portion 523 are connected to opposite sides of the flanging 53.

[0090] Among them, the boss 35 of the globe valve mounting plate 30 extends along the length direction of the globe valve mounting plate 30. In this way, the strength of the globe valve mounting plate 30 in its length direction can be increased. Since the air valve 41 and the liquid valve 42 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the globe valve mounting plate 30, the air valve 41 and the liquid valve 42 can be more stably and firmly mounted on the globe valve mounting plate 30.

[0091] In addition, the flanging 53 is attached to the edge of the boss 35, so that the flanging 53 can block a part of the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32 and a part of the notch of the air valve mounting groove 33, thereby further reducing the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32 and the notch of the air valve mounting groove 33.

[0092] Furthermore, the first shielding portion 521 and the second shielding portion 523 are connected to opposite sides of the flanging 53. In this way, the shielding property of the connection between the first shielding portion 521 and the flanging 53 can be increased, and the shielding property of the connection between the second shielding portion 523 and the flanging 53 can also be increased.

[0093] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 7 shown, the gap between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is d1, and d1 satisfies the relational expression: 0 < d1 < 5 mm, and / or the gap between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 is d2, and d2 satisfies the relational expression: 0 < d2 < 5 mm.

[0094] Specifically, since the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 are independent components from each other, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is greater than 0. That is to say, a gap must be provided between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41. If there is no gap between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41, friction will occur between the air valve 41 and the first shielding portion 521 of the side plate 50 during the installation and disassembly process, resulting in deformation and paint peeling of the air valve 41 and the first shielding portion 521. Therefore, a gap must be provided between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41.

[0095] Preferably, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is not less than 1 mm. In this way, not only can the friction between the air valve 41 and the first shielding portion 521 be avoided, but also foreign objects such as mice can be prevented from entering through the gap between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41.

[0096] Further preferably, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is not less than 2 mm. In this way, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is relatively large, which can further avoid friction or collision between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 during the installation and disassembly process, and can also prevent foreign objects such as mice from entering the air conditioner through the gap between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 and damaging the internal circuit of the air conditioner.

[0097] In addition, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 does not exceed 5 mm. That is to say, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 cannot be too large. If the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is too large, foreign objects such as mice may enter the air conditioner interior through the gap between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41, causing damage to the components and circuits inside the air conditioner. Therefore, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is not greater than 5 mm.

[0098] Preferably, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is not greater than 4 mm, which can make the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 smaller, thereby preventing smaller foreign objects from entering the interior of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and playing a role in protecting the components and circuits inside the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0099] Further preferably, the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 is not greater than 3 mm, which can make the gap d1 between the first shielding portion 521 and the air valve 41 even smaller, thereby preventing even smaller foreign objects from entering the interior of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and further strengthening the protection of the components and circuits inside the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0100] Similarly, the gap d2 between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 is > 0. That is to say, a gap must be provided between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42. If there is no gap between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42, friction will occur during the installation and disassembly of the liquid valve 42 and the second shielding portion 523 of the side plate 50, resulting in deformation and paint peeling of the liquid valve 42 and the second shielding portion 523. Therefore, a gap must be provided between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42.

[0101] Preferably, the gap d2 between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 is not less than 1 mm, which can not only avoid friction between the liquid valve 42 and the second shielding portion 523, but also prevent foreign objects such as mice from entering through the gap between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42.

[0102] Further preferably, the gap d2 between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 is not less than 2 mm. In this way, the gap d2 between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 is larger, which can further avoid friction or collision between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 during installation and disassembly, and also prevent foreign objects such as mice from entering the air conditioner interior through the gap between the second shielding portion 523 and the liquid valve 42 and damaging the internal circuits of the air conditioner.

[0103] Moreover, the gap d2 between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42 does not exceed 5 mm. That is to say, the gap d2 between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42 cannot be too large. If the gap d2 between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42 is too large, foreign objects such as mice can enter the air conditioner interior from the gap between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42, causing damage to the internal components and circuits of the air conditioner. Therefore, the gap d2 between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42 is not greater than 5 mm.

[0104] Preferably, the gap d2 between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42 is not greater than 4 mm, which can make the gap d2 between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42 smaller, so as to prevent smaller foreign objects from entering the interior of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and play a role in protecting the internal components and circuits of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0105] More preferably, the gap d2 between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42 is not greater than 3 mm, which can make the gap d2 between the second shielding part 523 and the liquid valve 42 even smaller, so as to prevent even smaller foreign objects from entering the interior of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and further strengthen the protection of the internal components and circuits of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0106] According to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 of the second aspect embodiment of the present utility model, it includes: a housing 10, an outdoor heat exchanger 20, a stop valve mounting plate 30 and a stop valve 40. The housing 10 includes a side plate 50 and a chassis 11. The side plate 50 is connected to the chassis 11. The outdoor heat exchanger 20 is disposed on the chassis 11. The stop valve mounting plate 30 is connected to the chassis 11, and the stop valve mounting plate 30 is formed with a gas valve mounting groove 31 and a liquid valve mounting groove 32.

[0107] Among them, the stop valve mounting plate 30 is connected to the chassis 11, and the stop valve 40 is mounted on the stop valve mounting plate 30, which can transfer the force of the stop valve 40 to the chassis 11, thereby reducing the force on the stop valve mounting plate 30. Moreover, the stop valve mounting plate 30 is formed with a gas valve mounting groove 31 and a liquid valve mounting groove 32. The gas valve mounting groove 31 can facilitate the threading and installation of the gas valve 41, and the liquid valve mounting groove 32 can facilitate the threading and installation of the liquid valve 42.

[0108] The stop valve 40 includes: a gas valve 41 and a liquid valve 42. Both the gas valve 41 and the liquid valve 42 are connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 20. The gas valve 41 is mounted in the gas valve mounting groove 31, and the liquid valve 42 is mounted in the liquid valve mounting groove 32. Among them, the gas valve 41 is first connected to a four-way valve. The four-way valve is located between the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger 20, and the four-way valve is respectively connected to the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger 20 through pipelines, so as to facilitate the precise control of the refrigerant flow direction and flow rate by the gas valve 41.

[0109] The liquid valve 42 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 20. The liquid valve 42 restricts the flow rate of the refrigerant, allowing it to enter the outdoor heat exchanger 20 at an appropriate speed, thereby effectively releasing heat and turning the refrigerant into a liquid state.

[0110] The side plate 50 includes: a side plate main body 51, the side plate main body 51 is formed with an avoidance groove 511 with an open bottom, and the stop valve mounting plate 30 extends into the avoidance groove 511. The side plate 50 further includes: a shielding portion 52, the shielding portion 52 is connected to the side plate main body 51, and the shielding portion 52 protrudes into the avoidance groove 511, and the shielding portion 52 shields the notch 33 of the gas valve mounting groove and / or the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32.

[0111] Among them, the side plate 50 is integrally formed by the side plate main body 51 and the shielding portion 52. In this way, it is not only easy to form, but also can reduce the number of parts, and can also reduce costs, thereby improving the production efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0112] Furthermore, the side plate main body 51 is formed with an avoidance groove 511 with an open bottom, and the stop valve mounting plate 30 extends into the avoidance groove 511. The setting of the avoidance groove 511 can make the stop valve mounting plate 30 embedded in the avoidance groove 511 and can also provide a receiving space for the stop valve mounting plate 30.

[0113] Further, the shielding portion 52 is connected to the side plate main body 51, and the shielding portion 52 protrudes into the avoidance groove 511, and the shielding portion 52 shields the notch 33 of the gas valve mounting groove and / or the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32.

[0114] Specifically, the shielding portion 52 is directly connected to the side plate main body 51, and the shielding portion 52 protrudes into the avoidance groove 511. When only the notch 33 of the gas valve mounting groove is shielded, the shielding portion 52 of the side plate 50 can directly shield the notch 33 of the gas valve mounting groove during installation, thereby preventing foreign objects such as mice from entering the air conditioner through the notch 33 of the gas valve mounting groove and avoiding damage to the internal wiring harness. During encapsulation, it also has the advantages of time-saving, convenience and high efficiency.

[0115] Or, when only the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32 is shielded, it can directly shield the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32, thereby preventing foreign objects such as mice from entering the air conditioner through the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32 and avoiding damage to the internal wiring harness by foreign objects such as mice, which has the effect of protecting the internal components of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0116] Further, the shielding portion 52 of the side plate 50 can shield the notch 33 of the gas valve mounting groove and can also shield the notch of the liquid valve mounting groove 32. In this way, it can further prevent foreign objects such as mice from entering the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.
