[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0033] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme in which A and B are satisfied at the same time. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0034] The present invention proposes an air conditioner outdoor unit 100 for an air conditioner, which also includes an air conditioner indoor unit. The air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install individually. The refrigerant pipe connects the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger 12 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. In this way, when the user installs the equipment by themselves, they only need to fix the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 separately, without having to assemble the refrigerant pipe and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and enabling personal installation by the user. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of the present invention can also be an ordinary split-type air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner.

[0035] Furthermore, this split-type air conditioner, designed for easy installation by the user, can have its compressor installed inside the indoor unit, reducing the weight of the outdoor unit 100 and facilitating its installation outdoors. Accordingly, to reduce compressor noise, a noise-reducing mechanism is required. This results in a heavier overall weight for the indoor unit. To facilitate installation, the indoor unit can be floor-standing, with wheels installed on its bottom to facilitate installation and movement.

[0036] The air conditioner also includes a casing. Since the refrigerant pipe generally has two pipes to form a refrigerant circuit, both pipes are inserted into the casing, thereby forming the two pipes into a single unit. This further reduces installation difficulty and facilitates individual user installation. The casing can also be configured as a wire structure, with the wire structure wrapped around the outer circumference of the refrigerant pipe to form the casing. Preferably, the refrigerant pipe is configured as a flexible refrigerant pipe.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes:

[0038] The housing 1 includes a rear panel 101 and side panels 102 provided on opposite sides of the rear panel 101. The rear panel 101 is provided with a first air inlet, and the side panels 102 are provided with a second air inlet 104.

[0039] A fan assembly 11 is disposed in the housing 1; and

[0040] The outdoor heat exchanger 12 includes a main heat exchange section 121 and an auxiliary heat exchange section 122 that is bent and connected to the opposite sides of the main heat exchange section 121. The main heat exchange section 121 is arranged on the side of the fan assembly 11 facing the first air inlet, and the auxiliary heat exchange section 122 is arranged on the side of the fan assembly 11 facing the second air inlet 104.

[0041] Specifically, the side panels 102 are disposed on opposite sides of the rear panel 101, and the rear panel 101 is provided with a first air inlet, while the side panels 102 are provided with a second air inlet 104. This helps expand the overall size of the air inlet side of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, thereby increasing the air intake volume and reducing the problem of air intake irregularities in the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. Furthermore, the outdoor heat exchanger 12 is disposed on the air inlet side of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and includes a main heat exchange section 121 and auxiliary heat exchange sections 122 that are bent and connected to opposite sides of the main heat exchange section 121. The main heat exchange section 121 is disposed on the side of the fan assembly 11 facing the first air inlet, and the auxiliary heat exchange section 122 is disposed on the side of the fan assembly 11 facing the second air inlet 104. Compared to a straight plate structure of the outdoor heat exchanger 12, this solution helps increase the heat exchange area of the outdoor heat exchanger 12, further ensuring the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. And because the compressor is installed in the air conditioner indoor unit, there is no need to set up an additional compressor in the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, so that the outdoor heat exchanger 12 can cover the air inlet side as much as possible without having to consider whether it interferes with the compressor, thereby facilitating the layout of internal components of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0042] The fan assembly 11 is disposed in the housing 1 , and the fan assembly 11 can be installed on the housing 1 and / or the outdoor heat exchanger 12 , thereby ensuring the installation stability of the fan assembly 11 .

[0043] The housing 1 includes a chassis 108, a top panel, a front panel 103, a rear panel 101, and side panels 102, which are joined together. The side panels 102 include a left side panel 102 and a right side panel 102. To facilitate the assembly of the chassis 108 with the front panel 103, the rear panel 101, and the side panels 102, a first flange extending upward is formed around the periphery of the chassis 108. The front panel 103, the rear panel 101, and the side panels 102 are all attached to the chassis 108 via the first flange. The lower edges of the front panel 103, the rear panel 101, and the side panels 102 are respectively connected to the first flange, thereby increasing the contact area between the chassis 108 and the front panel 103, the rear panel 101, and the side panels 102, thereby facilitating assembly of the housing 1. The periphery of the top plate can be provided with a second flange extending downward, and the front panel 103, the rear panel 101 and the side panel 102 are all mounted on the top plate through the second flange, thereby increasing the contact area between the top plate and the side panel 102, the front panel 103 and the rear panel 101 respectively, and facilitating the overall assembly of the casing 1.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, the housing 1 is provided with a quick-connect connector 105 that communicates with the outdoor heat exchanger 12. The quick-connect connector 105 is used to connect to the refrigerant pipe between the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. Specifically, the refrigerant pipe is connected to the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 respectively. Therefore, the refrigerant pipe is divided into two sections, namely a first refrigerant section and a second refrigerant section. The first refrigerant section is located within the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and one end is used to connect to the outdoor heat exchanger 12 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and the other end is connected to the quick-connect connector 105. The second refrigerant section partially extends into the air conditioner indoor unit, and the other portion is located outside the air conditioner indoor unit and connected to the quick-connect connector 105, thereby connecting the first refrigerant section and the second refrigerant section.

[0045] For a mobile air conditioner, before installation, the first and second refrigerant sections are installed in the outdoor unit 100 and indoor unit, respectively. After the outdoor unit 100 and indoor unit are installed separately, the first and second refrigerant sections are quickly connected via the quick-connect connector 105. This facilitates the separate installation of the outdoor unit 100 and indoor unit, improving overall air conditioner installation efficiency. Furthermore, if the outdoor unit 100 becomes damaged during use, it can be directly replaced.

[0046] Furthermore, a quick-connect connector 105 is provided on one of the side panels 102 and is located on the side of the second air inlet 104 on the corresponding side panel 102 away from the rear panel 101. Specifically, the two side panels 102 include a left panel 102 and a right panel 102. If the side where the outdoor heat exchanger 12 is connected to the quick-connect connector 105 is located near the left panel 102, the quick-connect connector 105 is provided on the left panel 102; if the side where the outdoor heat exchanger 12 is connected to the quick-connect connector 105 is located near the right panel 102, the quick-connect connector 105 is provided on the right panel 102, thereby facilitating the nearby connection of the quick-connect connector 105. Furthermore, the quick-connect connector 105 is located on the side of the second air inlet 104 on the corresponding side panel 102 away from the rear panel 101, that is, the quick-connect connector 105 is located near the end of the outdoor heat exchanger 12, further facilitating the nearby connection of the quick-connect connector 105.

[0047] Among them, if the quick-connect connector 105 is provided on the left side panel 102, the second air inlet 104 can cover the entire right side panel 102; similarly, if the quick-connect connector 105 is provided on the right side panel 102, the second air inlet 104 can cover the entire left side panel 102, thereby further increasing the heat exchange effect of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0048] In order to facilitate the installation of the quick-connect connector 105, in the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The air conditioner outdoor unit 100 further includes a mounting plate 106, which is detachably mounted on the housing 1, and the quick-connect connector 105 is fixed to the mounting plate 106. Specifically, during actual installation, the quick-connect connector 105 can be first mounted on the mounting plate 106, and then mounted on the housing 1, thereby facilitating the installation of the quick-connect connector 105 on the housing 1. The mounting plate 106 is provided with a reinforcing boss, and the quick-connect connector 105 is mounted on this reinforcing boss, which helps to improve the structural strength of the mounting plate 106 and thereby enhance the installation stability of the quick-connect connector 105.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, the housing 1 is further provided with a mounting hole 107 for connecting wires and / or a drain pipe. Specifically, the housing 1 is provided with mounting holes 107 for connecting wires and / or a drain pipe, thereby facilitating electrical connection between the indoor air conditioner unit and the outdoor air conditioner unit 100. The drain pipe is provided through mounting hole 107 and extends into the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 to transfer condensed water generated by the indoor air conditioner unit to the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 and drain the condensed water out of the air conditioner. Furthermore, a sealing ring is installed on the inner periphery of the mounting hole 107 to ensure the sealing of the housing 1 and reduce the possibility of dust, mosquitoes, and the like entering the interior of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100.

[0050] Furthermore, the mounting hole 107 and the quick-connect connector 105 are provided on the same side panel 102 of the housing 1, and are both located on the side of the second air inlet 104 on the corresponding side panel 102 that is away from the rear panel 101. Specifically, the mounting hole 107 and the quick-connect connector 105 are provided on the same side panel 102 of the housing 1. This not only facilitates the overall installation of the indoor and outdoor air conditioner units 100, but also reduces the encroachment of the heat exchange area by the connecting wires, drain pipe, and the quick-connect connector 105, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor air conditioner 100.

[0051] In one embodiment, the housing 1 includes a chassis 108 equipped with an electric heater, with at least the chassis 108 being constructed of metal. Specifically, in defrost mode, the electric heater can heat the outdoor heat exchanger 12. However, this can cause the temperature inside the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 to be excessively high (potentially reaching several hundred degrees Celsius). In particular, the portion of the chassis 108 near the electric heater must withstand a higher temperature limit. Therefore, if the housing 1 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 were constructed of plastic, the housing 1 would be susceptible to deformation, making it difficult to adapt to the air conditioner's defrost mode.

[0052] Therefore, at least the chassis 108 is configured from a metal material. Metal materials can withstand higher heating temperatures, thereby improving the local high-temperature resistance of the housing 1 and reducing the possibility of deformation of the housing 1 at high temperatures. Metal materials also have higher weather resistance and are more adaptable to the environment. They can resist erosion by natural factors such as ultraviolet rays, temperature fluctuations, and humidity, and can adapt to extreme weather conditions. Compared to plastic materials, metal materials have higher hardness, rigidity, and corrosion resistance, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0053] Only the chassis 108 may be configured as a metal material, or the chassis 108, the front panel 103, the rear panel 101 and the side panels 102 may all be configured as metal materials, and the top and side panels 102 may be configured as plastic materials; alternatively, the chassis 108 may be configured as a metal material, the top panel may be configured as a plastic material, the front panel 103 and / or the rear panel 101 and / or the side panels 102 may be separated into two parts along the upper and lower directions, the portion of the front panel 103 and / or the rear panel 101 and / or the side panels 102 close to the chassis 108 may be a metal material, and the portion of the front panel 103 and / or the rear panel 101 and / or the side panels 102 close to the top panel may be a plastic material. In other embodiments, the chassis 108, the front panel 103, the rear panel 101, the side panels 102 and the top and side panels 102 may all be configured as metal materials.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, the housing 1 is configured to be a sheet metal material, that is, the housing 1 is manufactured using a sheet metal process, which not only facilitates the processing of the housing 1 but also ensures the structural strength of the housing 1 .

[0055] To further extend the service life of the housing 1, in an embodiment of the present invention, a surface treatment layer is formed on the surface of the housing 1. Specifically, the surface of the housing 1 is treated to form a surface treatment layer on the surface of the housing 1 to protect the internal materials of the housing 1, thereby improving the salt spray resistance of the housing 1 and thus increasing the service life of the housing 1.

[0056] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the process treatment layer includes an electrophoretic coating. That is, the surface of the housing 1 is subjected to electrophoretic treatment, thereby forming an electrophoretic coating on the surface of the housing 1, thereby improving the salt spray resistance of the housing 1 and also improving the surface adhesion of the housing 1, which facilitates subsequent processing of the housing 1.

[0057] Furthermore, the process treatment layer also includes a protective paint layer, that is, the surface of the casing 1 is sprayed with paint to form a protective paint layer on the surface of the casing 1, isolating the casing 1 from contact with external air and water, thereby increasing the service life of the casing 1. In addition, the protective paint layer can be formed in various colors according to product needs, facilitating the customization of the air conditioner.

[0058] To facilitate installation of the outdoor air conditioner 100, in an embodiment of the present invention, support legs 14 are provided at the bottom of the chassis 108. The support legs 14 are used to support the entire indoor air conditioner. When the outdoor air conditioner 100 is suspended, the support legs 14 are used to be mounted on a mounting bracket to facilitate installation of the outdoor air conditioner 100 and the mounting bracket. When the outdoor air conditioner 100 is mounted directly on the ground, the support legs 14 support the entire indoor air conditioner, preventing the chassis 108 from directly contacting the ground.

[0059] In order to reduce the water leakage of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, in the embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A drip tray 13 is provided on the top of the outdoor heat exchanger 12. This tray is used to collect condensed water from the air conditioner's indoor unit, and a drip hole 131 is provided at the bottom of the tray for dripping water onto the outdoor heat exchanger 12. Specifically, an indoor drain pipe is installed through the mounting hole 107 and extends into the outdoor unit 100, connecting to the drip tray 13. This allows the condensed water generated by the indoor unit to drip onto the outdoor heat exchanger 12, thereby promoting the volatilization of the condensed water and reducing the possibility of accidental water leakage from the outdoor unit 100.

[0060] The present invention also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit 100. The specific structure of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 refers to the above embodiment. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0061] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
