Specific embodiments

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily.

[0027] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , includes a chassis 100, a mounting bracket and a water receiving tray 300. The mounting bracket is provided on the chassis 100, and the water receiving tray 300 is located above the chassis 100 and is provided on the mounting bracket. Among them, the water receiving tray 300 includes: a main body. The inner bottom surface of the main body has a water collection area 310 and an installation area. The water collection area 310 is located below the installation area and forms a drop with the installation area. The water collection area 310 has a drain hole 311, and the installation area has a connection hole 321. The main body is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket through the connection hole 321.

[0028] The outdoor air conditioner is installed on the chassis 100. The main body is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket through the connection holes 321. In this way, the components that are prone to generate condensed water during the operation of the outdoor air conditioner can be transferred from the chassis 100 and installed on the water receiving tray 300. During the operation of the outdoor air conditioner, the condensed water in the water receiving tray 300 will be discharged from the water drainage holes 311 in the water collection area 310 and will not be discharged from the water receiving tray 300 through the connection holes 321. The number of components fixed on the chassis 100 in this solution is reduced. Therefore, the inner bottom area of the chassis 100 can be designed to be smaller, and the installation space occupied by the outdoor air conditioner in the horizontal direction can be reduced.

[0029] In some examples, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the inner bottom surface of the main body also has an overflow area 340. The overflow area 340 is located below the installation area and forms a drop with the installation area. The water collection area 310 is located below the overflow area 340 and forms a drop with the overflow area 340. And the overflow area 340 has an overflow hole 341 to ensure that the condensed water in the water receiving tray 300 is collected in the water collection area 310.

[0030] When the drainage of the drainage holes 311 is abnormal and the water in the water collection area 310 overflows to the overflow area 340, the overflow holes 341 assist the drainage holes 311 to drain the water receiving tray 300, preventing the water in the water receiving tray 300 from overflowing to the installation area and flowing out of the water receiving tray 300 through the connection holes 321.

[0031] In some examples, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 8 shown, the installation area also has a mounting part for installing the compressor 400. The compressor 400 is placed in the installation area and fixedly connected to the mounting part. The mounting part is set as a screw 350. When the outdoor air conditioner is operating and the pipeline connecting the compressor 400 frosts and the outdoor air conditioner performs protection, the outdoor air conditioner performs a defrosting operation. At this time, condensed water will be generated in the water receiving tray 300.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the installation area includes a first installation area 320 and a second installation area 330. The water collection area 310 and the overflow area 340 are both located inside the first installation area 320. The second installation area 330 is located inside the water collection area 310. The connection holes 321 are located in the first installation area 320. Both the first installation area 320 and the second installation area 330 are provided with screws 350 (i.e., the mounting parts). Among them, the overflow area 340 is located between the water collection area 310 and the first installation area 320, and the overflow holes 341 are adjacent to the drainage holes 311 and close to the peripheral wall of the main body.

[0033] In one embodiment, the height of the water collection area 310 gradually decreases from the position away from the drain hole 311 towards the drain hole 311, which is more conducive to the water in the water receiving tray 300 being discharged from the drain hole 311. Among them, no electrical components are provided below the drain hole 311 and the overflow hole 341, and the condensed water discharged from the drain hole 311 and the overflow hole 341 directly falls downward onto the chassis 100.

[0034] In some examples, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the peripheral wall of the main body has a lifting part 360 to realize the lifting and installation of the main body through the lifting part 360. Among them, the lifting part 360 is set as a lifting hole, and a plurality of lifting holes are arranged in a circumferential dispersion on the peripheral wall of the main body. The plurality can be three or four, etc., which can improve the lifting stability of the water receiving tray 100. The above can all achieve the purpose of this application, and its gist does not deviate from the design idea of the present utility model, so it will not be elaborated here and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0035] In some examples, as Figures 2 to 8 shown, the connection hole 321 includes a positioning hole 322 and a first screw connection hole 323. The mounting bracket is provided with a positioning rib 210 and a second screw connection hole. The positioning rib 210 is inserted into the positioning hole 322 for pre-positioning, and the first screw connection hole 323 and the second screw connection hole are fixedly connected by screws. This solution can improve the assembly speed of the mounting bracket and the water receiving tray 300. Moreover, frequent start and stop of the compressor 400 will generate torque, and the matching structure of the positioning rib 210 and the positioning hole 322 can also ensure the fixing reliability of the screws.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figures 2 to 8 shown, the mounting bracket includes a middle partition 220, a support vertical beam 230, and a waterway support 240. The middle partition 220, the support vertical beam 230, and the waterway support 240 are sequentially arranged vertically in the circumferential direction of the water receiving tray 300, and are all provided with a positioning rib 210 and a second screw connection hole. There are a plurality of positioning holes 322 and a plurality of first screw connection holes 323. The plurality of positioning ribs 210 are inserted into the plurality of positioning holes 322 one by one for pre-positioning, and the plurality of first screw connection holes 323 and the plurality of second screw connection holes correspond one by one and are all fixedly connected by screws.

[0037] Among them, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the middle partition 220 is located at the lower left side of the water receiving tray 300 and is arranged vertically in the front-rear direction. The support vertical beam 230 is located at the front right side of the water receiving tray 300 and is arranged vertically. The waterway support 240 is located at the lower rear side of the water receiving tray 300 and is arranged vertically in the left-right direction, which can effectively improve the stability of the water receiving tray 300 after being fixed.

[0038] In some examples, asFigure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a waterway expansion tank 600 is fixedly installed vertically at the rear side of the waterway bracket 240, and a water pump 500 is fixedly installed vertically at the front side of the waterway bracket 240. The drain hole 311 and the overflow hole 341 are both located at the right front side of the water pump 500, so as to prevent the water flowing out from the drain hole 311 and the overflow hole 341 from falling onto the water pump 500 and causing damage to the water pump 500.

[0039] The air conditioner (not shown in the figure) provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the outdoor unit of the air conditioner described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0040] This air conditioner has all the advantages of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided in any one of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated here.

[0041] In summary, for the water receiving tray provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the main body is fixed above the chassis of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner through the connection holes. In this way, the components that are prone to generate condensed water during the operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be transferred from the chassis and installed on the water receiving tray. During the operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the condensed water in the water receiving tray will be discharged from the drain hole in the water collecting area and will not be discharged from the connection holes. The number of components fixed on the chassis is reduced, so the area of the inner bottom surface of the chassis can be designed smaller, and the installation space occupied by the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in the horizontal direction can be reduced.
