[0044] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0045] Reference will be made below to Figures 1 - 12 Describe the outdoor unit 100 of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 - 4 As shown, the outdoor unit 100 of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 10, a partition 20, a compressor 30, a fan 40, and an electrical box 50.

[0047] The partition plate 20 is arranged inside the housing 10. The partition plate 20 divides the internal space of the housing 10 into a compressor chamber 21 and a blower chamber 22. The arrangement of the partition plate 20 can reduce the noise of the compressor 30 from spreading to the external environment, so that the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can be more silent during operation. Moreover, by isolating the compressor 30 and the blower 40 through the partition plate 20, it is possible to prevent heat interference between the compressor 30 and the blower 40, and it is also possible to ensure their respective working efficiencies, thereby improving the overall performance of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0048] The compressor 30 is arranged in the compressor chamber 21. The compression chamber can provide an independent installation space for the compressor 30, which can protect the compressor 30 and prevent damage to the compressor 30 by external factors such as dust, sand and rain.

[0049] The blower 40 is arranged in the blower chamber 22. The blower chamber 22 can provide an independent installation space for the blower 40, prevent dust from entering the blower chamber 22, and also prevent damage to the blower 40 by sand and stones.

[0050] The electrical box 50 is arranged in the compressor chamber 21. The electrical box 50 provides a connection interface between the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and the power supply. Through the electrical box 50, the power cord can be connected to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to provide the required power supply. In addition, there are connection interfaces for control cables inside the electrical box 50 for transmitting control signals such as temperature sensors and pressure sensors, so as to realize the control and monitoring of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0051] Moreover, the electrical box 50 is located above the compressor 30. In this way, it is possible to better protect the electrical box 50 from the influence of the external environment, such as rain and dust. This can improve the reliability and durability of the electrical box 50 and also reduce the risk of failures caused by external environmental factors.

[0052] Moreover, the electrical box 50 is located above the compressor 30, so that maintenance personnel can directly access the electrical box 50 for daily inspections, repairs or replacement of required components without having to move or disassemble other equipment.

[0053] In addition, the housing 10 includes: a front panel 11. The front panel 11 is formed with an air outlet 12 that faces the blower 40 front and back. The blower 40 can send out the hot air that has completed heat exchange with the outdoor heat exchanger inside the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner through the air outlet 12, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0054] The top of the front panel 11 is formed with a first flanging 111 that bends backward, which can ensure that there are no gaps on the front surface of the front panel 11. Further, a mesh cover 60 is arranged at the air outlet 12 to prevent sand and stones from entering the air outlet 12, thereby protecting the air outlet 12.

[0055] Furthermore, the housing 10 further includes: a grille 60, which is integrally formed with the panel 11. The integrally formed design can improve the overall strength and stability of the grille 60 and the panel 11, and also make it more durable and not easily deformed. Moreover, the integrally formed design of the grille 60 and the panel 11 can reduce the vibration and noise during the operation of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] Moreover, the integrally formed design of the grille 60 and the panel 11 can reduce the number of components and also reduce the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning, thereby improving the maintainability of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0057] In addition, the top cover 70 is disposed above the compressor 30 and the fan 40. The top cover 70 can shield the compressor 30 and the fan 40, thereby playing a role in protecting the compressor 30 and the fan 40.

[0058] To make there be no screws between the top cover 70 and the front surface of the panel 11, the first flanging 111 of the panel 11 is bent backward. In this way, a fitting gap 71 is formed between the top cover 70 and the first flanging 111 of the panel 11, and the top cover 70 is used to cover the top of the compressor 30.

[0059] Since there is a gap between the top cover 70 and the front surface of the panel 11 in the traditional outdoor unit of the air conditioner, friction will be generated between the top cover 70 and the front surface of the panel 11, resulting in the generation of noise.

[0060] Therefore, the fitting gap 71 formed between the top cover 70 and the first flanging 111 is disposed at the top of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. In this way, it can avoid the generation of a gap between the top cover 70 and the front surface of the panel 11, and also prevent vibration and noise from being generated on the front surface of the panel 11.

[0061] Among them, the panel 11 further includes: a water guide groove 80, which is connected to the first flanging 111. In this way, it can make the transition between the water guide groove 80 and the first flanging 111 smoother, thereby facilitating the rainwater in the fitting gap 71 to fall.

[0062] The water guide groove 80 is located below the fitting gap 71. Thus, when encountering rainy weather, the rainwater will accurately fall into the water guide groove 80 along the fitting gap 71. The water guide groove 80 extends from the compressor chamber 21 to the fan chamber 22, thereby guiding the liquid flowing from the fitting gap 71 to the fan chamber 22.

[0063] Moreover, the setting of the water guide groove 80 can prevent the control board, wiring harness and other circuits in the electrical box 50 from being short-circuited, thereby playing a role in protecting the internal circuit of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0064] Thus, the front surface of the front panel 11 of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can be made seamless and screw-free, thereby avoiding vibration and noise on the front surface of the panel 11. In addition, the provision of the water guide groove 80 can collect the water falling from the mating gap 71, preventing the wiring harness of the electrical box 50 and other circuit control boards from short-circuiting, thus protecting the internal circuits of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 and Figure 10 shown, the water guide groove 80 has a first end 81 in its length direction, and the first end 81 of the water guide groove 80 is located in the compressor chamber 21. Among them, the first end 81 of the water guide groove 80 can collect the water falling from the mating gap 71 above the compressor 30.

[0066] Furthermore, the water guide groove 80 also has a second end 82, the second end 82 of the water guide groove 80 is located in the fan chamber 22, the first end 81 of the water guide groove 80 is higher than the second end 82 of the water guide groove 80, and the second end 82 of the water guide groove 80 can collect the water falling from the mating gap 71 above the fan 40.

[0067] The wall surface of the bottom of the first end 81 of the water guide groove 80 is higher than the wall surface of the bottom of the second end 82 of the water guide groove 80. In this way, the wall surface of the bottom of the water guide groove 80 forms an inclined plane, which can accelerate the flow rate of the water from the first end 81 to the second end 82 of the water guide groove 80, thereby avoiding the accumulation of rainwater.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water guide groove 80 includes: a connecting plate 83, the connecting plate 83 is connected to the first flanging 111, and the connecting plate 83 is bent downward relative to the first flanging 111. In this way, the distance between the connecting plate 83 and the first flanging 111 can be reduced, thereby improving the connection strength between the connecting plate 83 and the first flanging 111.

[0069] In addition, the water guide groove 80 also includes: a water guide plate 84, the water guide plate 84 is connected to the connecting plate 83, and a water baffle 85 is connected to the water guide plate 84. In this way, the connecting plate 83, the water guide plate 84 and the water baffle 85 jointly enclose a U-shaped groove, which is convenient for collecting rainwater at the mating gap 71.

[0070] The water guide groove 80 also includes: a water baffle 85, the water baffle 85 and the connecting plate 83 are located on opposite sides of the water guide plate 84, which can play a role in blocking water and prevent rainwater from splashing during the process of falling into the water guide groove 80.

[0071] Further, the water guide plate 84 forms the bottom of the water guide groove 80, and the water baffle 85 and the connecting plate 83 respectively form the side walls of the water guide groove 80. Among them, the first end 81 of the water guide plate 84 is higher than the second end 82 of the water guide plate 84, and the water guide plate 84 is inclined, which can facilitate rapid drainage and thus avoid the accumulation of rainwater.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 8 shown, the water guide plate 84 is configured as an inclined flat plate. In this way, the inclined flat water guide plate 84 can more effectively guide the water flow to flow along the specified direction. When the water flow encounters the inclined surface, it will be pushed, which helps the water flow to flow along the surface of the water guide plate 84, thereby reducing the dispersion and splashing of the water flow and improving the water guiding efficiency.

[0073] Moreover, the surface of the inclined flat water guide plate 84 is relatively flat, making it more convenient to clean. When the water flows along the inclined surface, it can carry away dirt and sundries, thereby reducing the deposition of dirt on the water guide plate 84 and also reducing the cleaning difficulty and frequency.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 8 shown, the included angle between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is α, and α satisfies the relationship: 2° ≤ α ≤ 8°.

[0075] Among them, the included angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is not less than the first parameter value. If the included angle between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is less than the first parameter value, it will affect the formation of the inclined plane of the water guide plate 84, resulting in the accumulation of rainwater at the water guide plate 84. Therefore, the included angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane cannot be less than the first parameter value.

[0076] The value of the first parameter can be from 1° to 2°. Preferably, the value of the first parameter can be 2°. When the included angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is 2°, a slope is just formed between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane, which can reduce the resistance of the rainwater and thus accelerate the drainage speed of the rainwater.

[0077] The value range of the included angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is from 2° to 4°. Preferably, if the included angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is 2°, the inclined angle of the water guide plate 84 relative to the horizontal plane is relatively large, and the drainage effect is obvious, thus avoiding the rainwater in the water guide groove 80 from falling into the compressor cavity 21.

[0078] In addition, the angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is not greater than the second parameter value. If the angle between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is greater than the second parameter value, the rainwater will cause an increase in the water flow velocity when flowing over the water guide plate 84. This increased water flow velocity will cause the rainwater to have a large kinetic energy when flowing over the water guide plate, resulting in the splashing of the rainwater. In addition, too large an angle will also cause the water flow to separate and form vortices, further increasing the possibility of splashing. Therefore, the angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane cannot be greater than the second parameter value.

[0079] The value of the second parameter can be from 8° to 10°. Preferably, the value of the second parameter can be 8°. When the angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is 8°, the rainwater dripping on the water guide plate is about to splash due to the too high flow velocity.

[0080] The value range of the angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is from 5° to 8°. Preferably, when the angle α between the water guide plate 84 and the horizontal plane is 5°, not only can the water droplets at the water guide plate 84 be prevented from splashing, but also the drainage effect can be made more obvious.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 10 shown, the height of the water baffle 85 is h1, and the height of the connecting plate 83 is h2. h1 and h2 satisfy the relationship: h1 < h2, and 3mm < h1 < 7mm.

[0082] Among them, when the overflow of the water guide groove 80 is not occurred, the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is less than the height h2 of the connecting plate 83. In this way, the space can be reasonably utilized, which can not only prevent the waste of materials, but also facilitate heat dissipation.

[0083] Among them, the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is greater than the third parameter value. If the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is less than or equal to the third parameter value, it will be easy for the water to overflow at the water baffle 85, resulting in the rainwater falling into the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, causing a short circuit in the internal circuit. Therefore, the height h1 of the water baffle 85 cannot be less than or equal to the third parameter value.

[0084] The third parameter value can be 2mm - 3mm. Preferably, the third parameter value can be 3mm. When the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is 3mm, the water baffle 85 can just block the rainwater and prevent the rainwater from overflowing.

[0085] The value range of the height h1 of the water baffle 85 can be from 3mm to 4mm. Preferably, when the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is 4mm, the water baffle 85 has a larger depth, which can prevent the rainwater from overflowing or splashing, thereby improving the waterproof effect inside the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0086] Furthermore, the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is less than the fourth parameter value. If the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is greater than or equal to the fourth parameter value, it will waste materials. Since the electrical box 50 is arranged close to the water guide groove 80, the water baffle 85 will also block the electrical box 50, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the electrical box 50. Therefore, the height h1 of the water baffle 85 cannot be greater than or equal to the fourth parameter value.

[0087] The fourth parameter value can be 7 mm - 9 mm. Preferably, the fourth parameter value can be 7 mm. When the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is 7 mm, the water baffle 85 can just avoid blocking the electrical box 50.

[0088] The height h1 of the water baffle 85 ranges from 5 mm to 7 mm. Preferably, when the height h1 of the water baffle 85 is 5 mm, the height of the water baffle 85 can be made smaller, which can not only save materials and reduce costs, but also avoid the height of the water baffle 85 being too large. This can increase the air flow space at the water baffle 85, reduce the blockage of air, and thus enable the electrical box 50 to dissipate heat better.

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 11 shown, the front edge of the panel 11 is provided with a second flanging 112 that bends downward, and the second flanging 112 is attached to the connecting plate 83.

[0090] Among them, the connection between the second flanging 112 and the connecting plate 83 can increase its strength and make their cooperation closer.

[0091] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water guide groove 80 has a first end 81 in its length direction, and the first end 81 of the water guide groove 80 is located in the compressor chamber 21, which can facilitate the water guide groove 80 to collect and convey the rainwater above the compressor chamber 21.

[0092] The water guide groove 80 also has a second end 82 in its length direction, and the second end 82 of the water guide groove 80 is located in the fan chamber 22. In this way, it can facilitate the water guide groove 80 to convey the rainwater from the compressor chamber 21 to the fan chamber 22, thereby avoiding the short circuit of the circuit inside the compressor chamber 21.

[0093] Furthermore, as Figure 8 shown, the electrical box 50 has a third end 91 in its length direction, and the third end 91 of the electrical box 50 is located in the compressor chamber 21. The electrical box 50 also has a fourth end 92 in its length direction, and the fourth end 92 of the electrical box 50 is located in the fan chamber 22. Among them, the distance from the first end 81 of the water guide groove 80 to the partition 20 is not less than the distance from the third end 91 of the electrical box 50 to the partition 20.

[0094] In this way, the water guiding distance of the water guiding groove 80 is greater than the extending length of the electric appliance box 50, which can prevent the electric appliance box 50 from contacting with rainwater and can also fully drain the water at the position of the electric appliance box 50, thereby preventing the control board of the electric appliance box 50 from being short-circuited.

[0095] Furthermore, the water guiding groove 80 is a U-shaped groove. The first end of the water guiding groove 80 is located in the compressor cavity, which can ensure that rainwater is guided to the side of the blower 40, and the U-shaped groove covers the electric appliance box, thereby ensuring that there is no water in the entire top area of the electric appliance box 501.

[0096] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 10 shown, the partition plate 20 is provided with a positioning hole 201, and the water guiding groove 80 passes through the positioning hole 201.

[0097] Among them, the positioning hole 201 can ensure the accurate alignment of the partition plate 20 and the water guiding groove 80, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the installation, and can also effectively prevent the partition plate 20 and the water guiding groove 80 from shifting or loosening during use, thereby increasing their stability and safety.

[0098] The outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 10, a partition plate 20, a compressor 30, a blower 40, and an electric appliance box 50.

[0099] The partition plate 20 is arranged inside the housing 10. The partition plate 20 divides the internal space of the housing 10 into a compressor cavity 21 and a blower cavity 22. The compressor 30 is arranged in the compressor cavity 21, the blower 40 is arranged in the blower cavity 22, the electric appliance box 50 is arranged in the compressor cavity 21, and the electric appliance box 50 is located above the compressor 30.

[0100] Specifically, the compressor 30 is arranged in the compressor cavity 21, and the compression cavity can provide an independent installation space for the compressor 30, which can protect the compressor 30 and prevent damage to the compressor 30 by external factors such as dust, sand, and rainwater.

[0101] The blower 40 is arranged in the blower cavity 22, and the blower cavity 22 can provide an independent installation space for the blower 40. Similarly, it can prevent dust from entering the blower cavity 22 and also prevent damage to the blower 40 by sand.

[0102] The electric appliance box 50 is arranged in the compressor cavity 21, and the electric appliance box 50 is located above the compressor 30. In this way, it can better protect the electric appliance box 50 from the influence of the external environment, such as rainwater and dust. This can improve the reliability and durability of the electric appliance box 50 and also reduce the risk of failure caused by external environmental factors.
