For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; they may refer to direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] An air conditioner outdoor unit with an easily replaceable inductor includes a housing 1, an air guide ring 2, a fan 3, an electronic control assembly 4, a compressor 5, and a condenser 6. An exhaust port 10 is provided at the upper portion of the housing 1. The housing 1 includes at least two support frames 11. The electronic control assembly 4 includes an electronic control mounting plate 41, an electronic control main board 42, an air guide cover 43, an inductor mounting box 44, an inductor 45, an upper enclosure 46, and a lower enclosure 47.

[0030] The two support frames 11 are both arranged on the periphery of the housing 1, and the two support frames 11 are symmetrically distributed. The air guide ring 2, the fan 3, the compressor 5 and the condenser 6 are all arranged inside the housing 1. The air guide ring 2 and the fan 3 are both installed at the exhaust port 10. The fan 3 is located inside the air guide ring 2, and the compressor 5 is connected to the condenser 6.

[0031] The two sides of the electric control mounting plate 41 are respectively installed on the respective support frames 11, the electric control mounting plate 41 is located on one side of the fan 3, the upper panel 46 is installed on the front side of the electric control mounting plate 41, the upper panel 46 and the electric control mounting plate 41 form a first cavity 7, and the electric control main board 42 is installed inside the first cavity 7; the air guide cover 43 is installed on the rear side of the electric control mounting plate 41, and the two sides of the lower panel 47 are respectively detachably installed on the respective support frames 11, the lower panel 47 is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 470, the lower panel 47 and the air guide cover 43 form a second cavity 8, the inductor mounting box 44 is installed inside the second cavity 8, the inductor mounting box 44 is located below the electric control main board 42, and the inductor 45 is detachably installed inside the inductor mounting box 44.

[0032] The present invention provides an air conditioner outdoor unit with an easily replaceable inductor, such as Figure 1-4As shown, in this embodiment, two support frames 11 are provided. When the electronic control board 42 receives control signals from the indoor air conditioner unit, it controls the operation of the fan 3, the compressor 5, and the condenser 6. The fan 3 draws in outdoor air and discharges hot air through the exhaust port 10, thereby maintaining the normal operating temperature of the condenser 6. Because the fan 3 is located within the air guide ring 2, the air guide ring 2 can guide the direction of air flow, improving the air supply efficiency and heat dissipation of the fan 3. Low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas is input into the compressor 5, which compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas. This high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas is then transported to the condenser 6, where it gradually condenses into a low-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid. After the pressure is reduced, the low-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid enters the indoor air conditioner unit's evaporator. The low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant liquid absorbs heat from the indoor air and evaporates into gas, thereby achieving indoor cooling. Further explanation: since the inductor mounting box 44 is installed in the second cavity 8 formed by the lower panel 47 and the air duct 43, and the inductor 45 is detachably installed inside the inductor mounting box 44, when the fan 3 operates normally, the negative pressure generated causes the outdoor air to enter the air duct 43 from the air inlet 470 of the lower panel 47, and then flow through the inside of the inductor mounting box 44 to cool the inductor 45 inside.

[0033] In this solution, the two support frames 11 are disposed on the periphery of the housing 1, and the two sides of the lower panel 47 are detachably mounted on their respective support frames 11. The inductor mounting box 44 is mounted in the second cavity 8 formed by the lower panel 47 and the air guide 43, and the inductor 45 is detachably mounted inside the inductor mounting box 44. When the inductor 45 needs to be replaced, the staff only needs to remove the lower panel 47 to replace the inductor 45 in the inductor mounting box 44. Compared with the traditional method of first removing the top cover assembly and the fan of the outdoor unit before replacing the inductor, the complexity of disassembly and maintenance by the staff can be reduced. In addition, because the inductor 45 is located on one side of the fan 3, it can prevent the airflow generated by the fan 3 from being disturbed, resulting in a turbulent wind field and generating turbulence and noise.

[0034] Preferably, the electric control assembly 4 further includes an insect-proof plate 48, which is installed inside the air guide cover 43 and has a plurality of first through holes 480. Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the provision of the insect-proof plate 48 can prevent insects or small animals from crawling into the interior of the first cavity 7 and causing a short circuit in the electronic control main board 42. Since the insect-proof plate 48 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 480, the air circulation inside the air guide cover 43 can be ensured.

[0035] Preferably, the electronic control component 4 further includes a radiator 49, which is installed on the rear side of the electronic control mounting plate 41. The radiator 49 is located inside the air guide cover 43 and on the rear side of the electronic control main board 42. In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the arrangement of the radiator 49 is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the electronic control main board 42 , thereby maintaining the normal operating temperature of the electronic control main board 42 .

[0036] Preferably, the electric control assembly 4 further includes two wire-passing rubber rings 40, the air guide cover 43 is provided with two wire-passing openings 430, and the two wire-passing rubber rings 40 are respectively arranged at the respective wire-passing openings 430. Figure 4 As shown, the arrangement of the wire-passing opening 430 serves to provide a cable channel, and the arrangement of the wire-passing rubber ring 40 serves to provide sealing protection, buffering and vibration reduction, and fixing of the cables.

[0037] Preferably, the inductor mounting box 44 includes a mounting frame 441, a box body 442 and a box cover 443; the mounting frame 441 is fixed to the rear of the box body 442, the mounting frame 441 is mounted on the air guide cover 43, the box cover 443 is detachably mounted on the front of the box body 442, and a plurality of second through holes 4420 are opened on the upper and lower parts of the box body 442. Figure 4-5 As shown, the installation of the mounting bracket 441 facilitates the installation and removal of the box body 442. The installation of the box cover 443 provides a waterproof effect. The top and bottom of the box body 442 are provided with a plurality of second through holes 4420, which facilitates the circulation of air inside the box body 442.

[0038] Preferably, the housing 1 further comprises two first fence panels 12, three second fence panels 13 and two third fence panels 14;

[0039] The two first fence panels 12, the three second fence panels 13 and the two third fence panels 14 are all arranged on the periphery of the housing 1;

[0041] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, since the two first fence panels 12, the three second fence panels 13 and the two third fence panels 14 are all arranged on the periphery of the shell 1, the overall structural strength of the periphery of the shell 1 can be increased, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation inside the shell 1.

[0042] Preferably, the fan 3 includes a motor 31 and a fan blade 32, and the fan blade 32 is installed at the driving end of the motor 31. In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, when the fan 3 is required to operate, the motor 31 is started, and the motor 31 can drive the fan blades 32 to rotate.
