Specific Embodiments

[0028] 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.

[0029] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 6 shown, includes: a chassis 100; and an installation structure for a water pump assembly. The installation structure of the water pump assembly includes an installation frame 200 and a water pump assembly 960. The installation frame 200 is vertically fixed on the chassis 100 in the left-right direction, and the water pump assembly 960 is located on the front side of the installation frame 200. Among them, one of the installation frame 200 and the water pump assembly 960 is provided with a guide rail 961 and a first connection part, and the other is provided with a guide rail groove 208 and a second connection part. The guide rail 961 is inserted into the guide rail groove 208, and the first connection part and the second connection part are fixedly connected.

[0030] The guide rail 961 is inserted into the guide rail groove 208, which defines the relative positions of the installation frame 200 and the water pump assembly 960, facilitating the quick alignment of the first connection part and the second connection part for fixed connection. This solution can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the installation frame 200 and the water pump assembly 960.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figures 3 to 6 shown, the guide rail groove 208 includes a first slot 2081 and a second slot 2082 with opposite slot openings. The first ends (such as the right ends) of the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082 are both through. A pair of opposite sides of the guide rail 961 (the opposite sides of the guide rail 961 in the up-down direction) are inserted into the space between the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082 from the first ends of the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0032] Among them, as Figures 3 to 6 shown, the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082 are located on the front side surface of the installation frame 200. It can be that two bending plates 2083 that bend forward are provided on the front side surface of the installation frame 200. The two bending plates 2083 are spaced up and down and symmetrically arranged to form the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082. The bending angle b of the bending plate 2083 is set to 100 degrees to 120 degrees, which is more conducive to the upper edge and the lower edge of the guide rail 961 being inserted into the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082 from the first ends of the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0033] Furthermore, as Figure 6 shown, one of the first ends of the first slot 2081 and the first ends of the second slot 2082 protrudes relative to the other in the direction away from the depth of the guide rail groove 208. In this way, when inserting the guide rail 961, the guide rail 961 first abuts against the inside of the protruding part. This solution is more conducive to quickly inserting the guide rail 961 into the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082.

[0034] It can be that, as Figure 6As shown in the figure, the first slot 2081 is located above the second slot 2082, and the right end of the second slot 2082 protrudes rightward relative to the right end of the first slot 2081. In this way, the lower edge of the left end of the guide rail 961 first abuts downward against the inside of the right end of the second slot 2082 (at this time, the upper edge of the left end of the guide rail 961 does not enter the first slot 2081), and then the guide rail 961 is inserted leftward. This solution is conducive to quickly inserting the guide rail 961 leftward into the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082. Or it can be that the first slot 2081 is located above the second slot 2082, and the right end of the first slot 2081 protrudes rightward relative to the right end of the second slot 2082. In this way, the upper edge of the left end of the guide rail 961 first abuts upward against the inside of the right end of the first slot 2081 (at this time, the lower edge of the left end of the guide rail 961 does not enter the second slot 2082), and then the guide rail 961 is inserted leftward. This solution is conducive to quickly inserting the guide rail 961 leftward into the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082. The above can all achieve the purpose of this application, and its gist does not deviate from the design concept of the present utility model, so it will not be elaborated here and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0035] Further, as Figure 5 shown, after the guide rail 961 is fully inserted in place, the fitting clearances a and c between the slot wall of the first slot 2081 and the guide rail 961 are both set to 1.5 mm to 5 mm, which is conducive to ensuring that the guide rail 961 slides more smoothly along the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082.

[0036] Still further, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the guide rail 961 is provided with a limiting portion 962, and the slot wall of the guide rail slot 208 is provided with a cooperating portion 2084. The limiting portion 962 cooperates with the cooperating portion 2084 to be set to limit the insertion depth of the guide rail 961 in the guide rail slot 208, so as to ensure that when the guide rail 961 is fully inserted into the first slot 2081 and the second slot 2082, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are exactly aligned. It can be that the right end of the guide rail 961 is provided with a stop edge protruding rearward, and the cooperating portion 2084 is the right end of the mounting bracket 200. After the guide rail 961 is fully inserted in place, the stop edge abuts leftward against the right end of the mounting bracket 200 to achieve limiting.

[0037] In some examples, as Figure 3 、 Figures 7 to 9As shown, the guide rail 961 is provided at the rear side of the water pump assembly 960 and includes a mounting plate 963 and a first mounting plate 964 with a flange. The guide rail groove 208 is located at the front side of the mounting bracket 200. The mounting plate 963 is inserted into the guide rail groove 208. An avoidance hole is provided on the side surface of the mounting plate 963. The first mounting plate 964 is provided at the avoidance hole. The flange is held on the outer end surface of the avoidance hole on the side of the mounting plate 963 facing away from the bottom wall of the guide rail groove 208. The first connecting portion is located on the first mounting plate 964, and the second connecting portion is located on the bottom wall of the guide rail groove 208. The bottom wall of the guide rail groove 208 faces the notch of the guide rail groove 208. It can be that the first connecting portion is a first screw hole, and the second connecting portion is a second screw hole. The screw passes through the first screw hole and the avoidance hole and is screwed into the second screw hole to fix the mounting bracket 200, the mounting plate 963, and the first mounting plate 964 together. At this time, the mounting plate 963 is clamped between the first mounting plate 964 and the mounting bracket 200. Preferably, the limiting portion 962 is located at the right end of the mounting plate 963, and the mounting plate 963 is welded to the first mounting plate 964.

[0038] Among them, the avoidance holes and the first mounting plates 964 include two groups arranged at an upper limit interval. The upper and lower portions of each first mounting plate 964 each have a flange. The flanges on the upper and lower portions of each first mounting plate 964 are held on the upper and lower portions of the outer end surface of the corresponding avoidance hole on the side facing away from the bottom wall of the guide rail groove 208 to ensure that the first mounting plate 964 stably presses the mounting plate 963 on the mounting bracket 200.

[0039] Furthermore, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figures 7 to 9 shown, the water pump assembly 960 includes: a guide rail 961; and a water pump main body 965. The water pump main body 965 is located at the front side of the guide rail groove 208 and is provided with a flange 966. The flange 966 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 963 of the guide rail 961 to fix the water pump main body 965 and the mounting plate 963 together.

[0040] Furthermore, as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 shown, the water pump assembly 960 further includes: a second mounting bracket 967. The second mounting bracket 967 is located on the side of the flange 966 facing away from the mounting plate 963 and is fixedly provided with a nut. The bolt passes through the mounting plate 963 and the flange 966 in sequence and is screwed into the nut to fix the second mounting bracket 967, the water pump main body 965, and the mounting plate 963 together through the bolt. The nut is fixedly provided on the second mounting bracket 967, and the nut will not rotate with the bolt when the bolt is screwed. It can be that the nut is welded or riveted to the second mounting bracket 967.

[0041] Still further, as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 ​​​​As shown, the second mounting bracket 967 is U-shaped and is provided with an anti-rotation portion. Nuts are fixed to the two vertical sides of the second mounting bracket 967. A total of two second mounting plates are provided at the left end and the right end of the side of the water pump main body 965 facing the guide rail 961. The two vertical sides of the second mounting bracket 967 are respectively placed on the side of the two second mounting plates facing away from the frame plate 963. The flange 966 includes two second mounting plates. In this solution, both the left side and the right side of the water pump main body 965 are fixedly connected to the frame plate 963. After the water pump main body 965 is fixed on the frame plate 963 in this way, the water pump main body 965 is less likely to loosen. Among them, the anti-rotation portion cooperates with the water pump main body 965 and is set to prevent relative rotation between the water pump main body 965 and the second mounting bracket 967. In this way, during the process of screwing the bolt, the water pump main body 965 and the second mounting bracket 967 will not rotate relative to each other and be misaligned.

[0042] It can be, such as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the horizontal side of the second mounting bracket 967 is provided with an anti-rotation bump 968 protruding forward, and the ends of the two vertical sides of the second mounting bracket 967 are provided with anti-rotation folded edges 969 bent forward. The side of the water pump main body 965 is provided with a recessed portion. The anti-rotation bump 968 cooperates with the recessed portion, and the water pump main body 965 is located between the two anti-rotation folded edges 969 to limit the two anti-rotation folded edges 969, realizing the prevention of relative rotation between the water pump main body 965 and the second mounting bracket 967.

[0043] It can be that the anti-rotation bump 968 is set as a sponge or a rubber pad or a silica gel pad for shock absorption, etc. Such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a shock-absorbing pad 980 for shock absorption is provided between the second mounting plate and the frame plate 963. The shock-absorbing pad 980 is set as a rubber pad or a silica gel pad, etc.

[0044] It can be, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control box of the water pump main body 965 is located on the front side of the water pump main body 965, and the lid of the control box faces forward. In this way, it is convenient to wire the control box on the front side of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and it is also convenient to repair the control box.

[0045] It can be, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a third mounting plate 209 is fixed to the front side of the mounting bracket 200, and the third mounting plate 209 constructs a guide rail groove 208.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a side rear panel 800 (i.e., the right rear panel), a side front panel 910 (i.e., the right front panel), an electronic control cover plate 920, a maintenance panel 930, and a fixing plate 940. The electronic control cover plate 920 is vertically arranged in the rear side of the side front panel 910 in the front-back direction and is above the side plate of the side rear panel 800. The maintenance panel 930 is located below the side plates of the side front panel 910 and the side rear panel 800. A notch is provided at the lower part of the maintenance panel 930, and the fixing plate 940 is located at the notch. The maintenance panel 930 and the fixing plate 940 enclose a through hole for passing through the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The side plates of the side front panel 910, the side plates of the side rear panel 800, the electronic control cover plate 920, the maintenance panel 930, and the fixing plate 940 jointly construct the right side wall of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0047] The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present utility model (not shown in the figure) includes the outdoor unit of the air conditioner described in any of the above embodiments.

[0048] This air conditioner has all the advantages of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided by any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] Among them, the air conditioner is a water-to-water air conditioner.

[0050] In summary, for the installation structure of the water pump assembly provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the guide rail is inserted into the guide rail groove, which defines the relative positions of the mounting bracket and the water pump assembly, facilitating the quick alignment of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion for fixing connection.
