[0028] In the air-conditioning outdoor unit provided in this embodiment, the electrical cover 300 protects the electric control box 200. When the electric control box 200 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit needs to be inspected, there is no need to disassemble and remove the electric control box 200 from the casing 100. Instead, it is only necessary to open the electrical cover 300 to expose the inspection port 111. The electronic components in the electric control box 200 can be inspected through the inspection port 111 and the opening of the electric control box 200. After the inspection is completed, the electrical cover 300 can be used to close the inspection port 111 again, which is very convenient.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the size of the inspection opening 111 along the circumference of the opening is greater than or equal to the size of the opening. In this arrangement, when the electrical cover 300 is opened, the opening of the electrical control box 200 is completely exposed to the outside, allowing maintenance personnel to inspect and repair electronic components at various locations within the electrical control box 200 through the opening.

[0030] The air conditioner outdoor unit provided in this embodiment can have two forms: Figure 2 One form is shown, Figure 3 Another form is shown. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the electric control box 200 of the air conditioner outdoor unit does not include a box cover 220. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the electrical control box 200 includes a cover 220, which is mounted on the box body 210 and seals the opening. Along the circumference of the cover 220, the inspection opening 111 is larger than the size of the cover 220, and the cover 220 can be opened at the inspection opening 111. In this arrangement, the cover 220 protects the electronic components within the box body 210, while the electrical cover 300 protects the entire electrical control box 200, including the cover 220 and the box body 210. When the electrical control box 200 needs to be repaired, the electrical cover 300 must first be opened to expose the inspection opening 111, and then the cover 220 must be opened to expose the opening of the box body 210.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the box cover 220 is detachably fixed to the box body 210. In this arrangement, the arrangement of the box cover 220 is relatively simple. When the box cover 220 needs to be opened from the inspection port 111, the box cover 220 needs to be removed from the box body 210 and then taken out from the inspection port 111.

[0032] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the box cover 220 is not limited to the above-described arrangement. For example, the box cover 220 may have one side rotatably disposed on one side of the opening, while the other side is unlockably locked to the other side of the opening. In this arrangement, when the box cover 220 needs to be opened from the inspection port 111, the locked side of the box cover 220 needs to be unlocked first, and then the box cover 220 needs to be rotated to open it and expose the opening of the box body 210.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the electrical cover 300 is detachably fixed to the side panel. In this arrangement, the electrical cover 300 is relatively simple to install. When the electrical control box 200 needs to be repaired, the electrical cover 300 needs to be removed from the side panel to expose the inspection opening 111. After the repair is completed, the electrical cover 300 needs to be fixed to the side panel.

[0034] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the electrical appliance cover 300 is not limited to the above arrangement. For example, one side of the electrical appliance cover 300 can be rotatably arranged on one side of the inspection opening 111, while the other side is unlockably locked to the other side of the inspection opening 111. In this arrangement, when it is necessary to open the electrical appliance cover 300, it is necessary to first unlock the locked side of the electrical appliance cover 300, then rotate the electrical appliance cover 300 to open it and expose the inspection opening 111; after the inspection is completed, the electrical appliance cover 300 is rotated to the locked position and the locked side of the electrical appliance cover 300 is locked to the side panel.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the electrical appliance cover 300 is provided with a handle 310. Under this arrangement, the electrical appliance cover 300 can be conveniently taken or rotated by the handle 310, and the entire air conditioner outdoor unit can also be lifted and moved by the handle 310.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interior of the casing 100 is an integrated cavity, that is, the air-conditioning outdoor unit provided in this embodiment cancels the setting of the wind-proof vertical plate, and the space inside the casing 100 is not divided into two chambers. This not only reduces costs and simplifies the assembly process, but also helps to make more full use of the space inside the outdoor unit and reduce the overall size of the outdoor unit.

[0037] For this reason, the electric control box 200 can no longer be set on the windproof vertical plate, so Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, it is installed on the side panel of the housing 100. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the electric control box 200 is installed on the right side panel 110 of the housing 100 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right side panel 110; the inspection port 111 is opened on the right side panel 110; and the electrical cover 300 is installed on the outer wall of the right side panel 110. This arrangement is more convenient for right-handed maintenance personnel to operate.

[0038] In addition, the heat exchanger and the fan of the air conditioner outdoor unit are located on the left side of the integrated cavity, and the compressor of the air conditioner outdoor unit is located on the right side of the integrated cavity together with the electric control box 200.

[0039] However, it should be noted that in other embodiments of the present application, the electrical control box 200 can also be located on the inner wall of the left side panel of the housing 100, with the inspection port 111 also provided on the left side panel, and the electrical cover 300 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the left side panel. Furthermore, the heat exchanger and fan of the outdoor air conditioner are located on the right side of the integrated cavity, while the compressor of the outdoor air conditioner and the electrical control box 200 are both located on the left side of the integrated cavity. This arrangement makes operation more convenient for right-handed maintenance personnel.

[0040] It should also be noted here that, in other embodiments of the present application, a wind-blocking vertical panel may also be provided inside the casing 100 , while the electrical control box 200 is still provided on the side panel of the casing 100 .

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include," "comprise," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to the embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
