[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 any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement it. 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 provides an air conditioner outdoor unit 100 for use in an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and an air conditioner indoor unit. A refrigerant pipe connects the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, respectively. The air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install. The refrigerant pipe connects the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger 11 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. Refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the device leaves the factory. In this way, when users install the device themselves, they only need to fix the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 separately, without having to refill the refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and enabling user-friendly installation.

[0035] Furthermore, the compressor of this split-type air conditioner, which is user-friendly and easy to install, can be installed inside the indoor air conditioner, thereby reducing the weight of the outdoor air conditioner 100 and facilitating its installation outdoors. Accordingly, to reduce the noise generated by the compressor, a noise reduction structure is required for the compressor. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of the present invention can also be a conventional split-type air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner.

[0036] The air conditioner also includes a flexible connection assembly, which includes a refrigerant pipe, a drain pipe, and connecting wires. The refrigerant pipe, drain pipe, and connecting wires respectively connect the air conditioner indoor unit to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. In other embodiments, the flexible connection assembly includes a sleeve, and the refrigerant pipe, drain pipe, and connecting wires are inserted into the sleeve, so that the refrigerant pipe, drain pipe, and connecting wires are configured as a whole, thereby facilitating the connection between the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. The sleeve can also be configured as a wire structure, which is wrapped around the outer periphery of the refrigerant pipe, drain pipe, and connecting wire to form a sleeve.

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

[0038] Outdoor heat exchanger 11;

[0039] The auxiliary drainage structure can drain the condensed water discharged to the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 to the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0040] Specifically, a drain pipe connects the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and the air conditioner indoor unit, thereby draining condensed water generated by the air conditioner indoor unit into the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and then out of the air conditioner. To reduce the possibility of accidental dripping from the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, the outdoor unit is usually connected to another drain pipe, which drains the condensed water in the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 to a specific drainage point. Alternatively, the outdoor unit bracket is designed with a water collection tank, and the water outlet of the water collection tank is connected to the sewer pipe. This method requires the installation of an additional water collection tank and related piping structure, which takes up a lot of space and is costly. In addition, the installation location is relatively limited. If there is no sewer in the room where the outdoor unit bracket is located, the drainage structure cannot be installed, making it inconvenient for users to freely choose the installation location.

[0041] Therefore, in this solution, an auxiliary drainage structure is provided. This auxiliary drainage structure can drain the condensed water discharged to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 to the outdoor heat exchanger 11. The outdoor heat exchanger 11 can accelerate the volatilization of the condensed water. On the other hand, the condensed water can also cool the outdoor heat exchanger 11. Compared with the existing technology, this solution does not require an additional drainage structure to drain the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and there is no need to consider the installation location of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, thereby facilitating the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0042] The auxiliary drainage structure can control the flow direction of condensed water in the drain pipe to drain the condensed water toward the outdoor heat exchanger 11, thereby causing the condensed water to drip onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11. Alternatively, the auxiliary drainage structure can drain the condensed water toward the outdoor heat exchanger 11 by returning the condensed water stored in the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 to the outdoor heat exchanger 11. However, if the air conditioner is left on for a long time, the amount of condensed water gradually increases, and the amount of condensed water dripping onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11 also gradually increases, making it difficult for the air conditioner to evaporate in time. This can cause some of the condensed water to drip from the outdoor heat exchanger 11 onto the chassis 102 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, posing a risk of accidental water leakage into the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. Therefore, the preferred solution is: the auxiliary drainage structure first controls the condensed water in the drainage pipe to be discharged to the outdoor heat exchanger 11, so that the condensed water drips on the outdoor heat exchanger 11, and then the auxiliary drainage structure can further collect the condensed water dripping from the outdoor heat exchanger 11, and discharge the collected condensed water to the outdoor heat exchanger 11 again, thereby forming a condensed water cycle, thereby further ensuring the evaporation of the condensed water and reducing the possibility of accidental dripping of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0043] The auxiliary drainage structure can direct condensed water discharged from the drain pipe into the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 to the top of the outdoor heat exchanger 11. In this case, the auxiliary drainage structure includes a connecting pipe, etc. Alternatively, the drain pipe can be directly fixed above the outdoor heat exchanger 11. In this case, the auxiliary drainage structure includes a fixing structure. The auxiliary drainage structure can collect condensed water dripping from the outdoor heat exchanger 11 through a sump or other structure, and then direct the condensed water again to the top of the outdoor heat exchanger 11 through the connecting pipe. This allows the recovered condensed water to drip onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11 again, promoting its volatilization.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 further includes a water receiving pan 103. At least a portion of the condensed water discharged to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 falls into the water receiving pan 103. The auxiliary drainage structure includes a water pumping structure 12. The water pumping structure 12 pumps the condensed water in the water receiving pan 103 onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11. Specifically, the water pumping structure 12 is capable of pumping the condensed water in the water receiving pan 103 onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11, thereby circulating the condensed water to the outdoor heat exchanger 11 for a second time to promote the evaporation of the condensed water. The water pumping structure 12 is also capable of breaking up the condensed water in the water receiving pan 103, distributing the condensed water in a mist-like manner, further accelerating the evaporation of the condensed water, thereby effectively ensuring the timely volatilization of the condensed water and reducing the possibility of accidental water leakage of the air conditioner due to accumulation of condensed water.

[0045] Among them, the water receiving tray 103 can collect at least part of the condensed water discharged to the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. When the condensed water in the drain pipe is discharged to the outdoor heat exchanger 11, the water receiving tray 103 recovers part of the condensed water, and the other part of the condensed water is evaporated by the outdoor heat exchanger 11; when the condensed water in the drain pipe is directly discharged to the bottom of the casing 1, the water receiving tray 103 recovers all the condensed water.

[0046] Furthermore, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes a fan assembly 14, which includes a rotor 141. The water pumping structure 12 also includes the rotor 141, and the outdoor heat exchanger 11 is located on the air outlet side of the fan assembly 14. Specifically, the rotor 141 is used to accelerate air flow within the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. The water pumping structure 12 can be directly mounted on the rotor 141, thereby directly driving the water pumping structure 12 through the rotation of the rotor 141. This eliminates the need for a separate water pumping structure 12 to drive the rotor 141. This saves internal space within the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, helps reduce the overall size of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and facilitates user installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. The edge of the fan assembly 14, distal from its rotational axis, extends into the water receiving tray 103, causing the water in the water receiving tray 103 to swirl and disperse. In order to ensure that the condensed water beaten by the water-pumping structure 12 falls smoothly onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11, the outdoor heat exchanger 11 is arranged on the air outlet side of the fan assembly 14, so that the airflow formed by the rotation of the wind wheel 141 is used to blow the condensed water onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11.

[0047] Furthermore, the water-pumping structure 12 also includes a water-pumping ring 121 disposed on the outer periphery of the wind wheel 141. Specifically, the configuration of the water-pumping ring 121 helps improve the uniformity of water pumping. In other embodiments, the water-pumping structure 12 can also be configured as a water-pumping trough or water-pumping column disposed on the outer edge of the wind wheel 141. Alternatively, the water-pumping structure 12 can be configured as a water-pumping wheel, which is coaxially arranged with the wind wheel 141 and is in turn mounted to the output shaft of the drive motor, and is located on the wind outlet side of the wind wheel 141.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes a fan assembly 14, which includes a wind wheel 141. The water pumping structure 12 is configured as the wind wheel 141. This configuration allows the wind wheel 141 to function not only as the fan assembly 14 but also as a water pumping wheel. This further simplifies the internal structure of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and facilitates product miniaturization.

[0049] In another embodiment of the present invention, the water pumping structure 12 is mounted on the chassis 102 and is located on one side of the outdoor heat exchanger 11. That is, the water pumping structure 12 is independently provided compared to the fan assembly 14 and is driven by a separate drive structure. In this case, if the outdoor heat exchanger 11 is located on the air outlet side of the fan assembly 14, the water pumping structure 12 can be located between the outdoor heat exchanger 11 and the fan assembly 14, so that the fan assembly 14 can blow the mist formed by the condensed water from the water pumping structure 12 onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11. If the outdoor heat exchanger 11 is located on the air inlet side of the fan assembly 14, the water pumping structure 12 can be located on the side of the outdoor heat exchanger 11 facing away from the fan assembly 14, so that the fan assembly 14 can draw the mist formed by the condensed water from the water pumping structure 12 onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11.

[0050] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the water-pumping structure 12 is provided on the wind wheel 141, or the wind wheel 141 is configured as the water-pumping structure 12, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the fan assembly 14 also includes an air duct seat 142, the air duct seat 142 cover is provided on the wind wheel 141, and the outdoor heat exchanger 11 is provided at the air outlet of the air duct seat 142. Specifically, because the water-pumping structure 12 can break up the condensed water collected in the water receiving tray 103 to form water mist, the water mist may seep out from some installation gaps of the casing (for example, when the air inlet 101 is arranged on the rear panel and side panel of the casing 1, the water mist may be dispersed from the air inlet 101 of the side panel), causing the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 to accidentally leak water. Therefore, the duct seat 142 is provided, and the duct seat 142 cover is provided on the wind wheel 141, and the outdoor heat exchanger 11 is provided at the air outlet of the duct seat 142, so that the water-pumping structure 12 is provided in the duct seat 142, so that the water mist formed by the water-pumping structure 12 is all in the air duct formed by the duct seat 142, and can only float to the outdoor heat exchanger 11, and the rest flows back to the water receiving tray 103 along the duct seat 142, thereby reducing the possibility of accidental water leakage in the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0051] The outdoor heat exchanger 11 is mounted at the air outlet of the duct mount 142, and the edge of the air outlet of the duct mount 142 abuts the outdoor heat exchanger 11, further reducing the possibility of water mist seeping through the gap between the duct mount 142 and the outdoor heat exchanger 11, further reducing the possibility of accidental water leakage into the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. Furthermore, the air inlet side of the duct mount 142 is positioned toward the air inlet 101 of the housing 1. Due to the action of the impeller 141, water mist will not seep out from the air inlet side.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, the water collecting pan 103 is arranged at least partially below the outdoor heat exchanger 11, so as to collect the condensed water dripping from the outdoor heat exchanger 11 and reduce the possibility of the condensed water dripping from the outdoor heat exchanger 11 directly dripping from the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0053] To facilitate the setting of the water collecting pan 103, in an embodiment of the present invention, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 also includes a chassis 102, the fan assembly 14 and the outdoor heat exchanger 11 are both installed on the chassis 102, and a part of the chassis 102 is recessed downward to form the water collecting pan 103. Specifically, the fan assembly 14 is installed on the chassis 102 through the duct seat 142. The duct seat 142 is installed on the chassis 102 and together with the chassis 102, it forms an air duct, which helps to reduce the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. The wind wheel 141 is installed in the duct seat 142, and the outdoor heat exchanger 11 is also installed on the chassis 102, so that the condensed water dripping from the outdoor heat exchanger 11 drips directly onto the chassis 102. Therefore, the chassis 102 is recessed downward in the area enclosed by the duct seat 142 and the outdoor heat exchanger 11, thereby forming a water collecting pan 103, so that there is no need to additionally set up a water collecting pan 103 in the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. On the one hand, it helps to reduce the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, simplify the structure of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and reduce the overall weight of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. On the other hand, it helps to increase the area of ​​the water collecting pan 103, increase the water storage space of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and further reduce the possibility of accidental dripping of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 5 A drip tray 13 is provided on the top of the outdoor heat exchanger 11. The drip tray 13 is used to receive condensed water discharged from the drain pipe, and a drip hole 131 is provided at the bottom of the drip tray 13 for dripping water into the outdoor heat exchanger 11. Specifically, the drip tray 13 extends along the extension direction of the outdoor heat exchanger 11, and the drip holes 131 are spaced apart at the bottom of the drip tray 13. This allows the drain pipe to pass through the mounting hole and extend into the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 to connect to the drip tray 13, so that condensed water generated by the air conditioner indoor unit drips onto the outdoor heat exchanger 11. This improves the uniformity of water dripping from the drain pipe to the outdoor heat exchanger 11, promotes the volatilization of condensed water, and reduces the possibility of accidental water leakage from the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. On the other hand, it further controls the speed of water dripping from the drain pipe to the outdoor heat exchanger 11, further reasonably distributes the condensed water, and reduces the possibility of accidental water leakage from the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. In addition, the drip tray 13 can also store condensed water to a certain extent.

[0055] Furthermore, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes a fan assembly 14, which includes a duct mount 142. The drip tray 13 is fixed to the side of the duct mount 142 facing the outdoor heat exchanger 11. Specifically, the drip tray 13 is fixed to the side of the duct mount 142 facing the outdoor heat exchanger 11. The upper edge of the duct mount 142 extends toward the outdoor heat exchanger 11, and a disc-shaped or groove-shaped structure is formed on its upper edge, thereby suspending the drip tray 13 above the outdoor heat exchanger 11 and facilitating its installation. Therefore, the drip tray 13 is preferably integrally formed with the duct mount 142. To ensure the installation stability of the duct mount 142, reinforcing ribs are provided between the duct mount 142 and the drip tray 13 to enhance the connection stability between the duct mount 142 and the drip tray 13. Of course, in other embodiments, the drip tray 13 is snapped, bonded, or connected to the duct seat 142 via fasteners, and the drip tray 13 can also be directly fixed above the outdoor heat exchanger 11 .

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 further includes an outdoor refrigerant pipe 111. One end of the outdoor refrigerant pipe 111 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 11, and the other end is used to communicate with the indoor refrigerant pipe of the air conditioner indoor unit. The housing 1 of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is provided with mounting locations for the outdoor refrigerant pipe 111 and / or the indoor refrigerant pipe. Specifically, the outdoor heat exchanger 11 in the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is connected to two outdoor refrigerant pipes 111, and the corresponding indoor heat exchanger in the air conditioner indoor unit is connected to two indoor refrigerant pipes. The outdoor refrigerant pipe 111 is connected to the indoor refrigerant pipes to form a refrigerant circuit. For mobile air conditioners, refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. To facilitate the transportation and installation of the refrigerant circuit, the housing 1 is provided with mounting locations for the outdoor refrigerant pipe 111 and / or the indoor refrigerant pipe.

[0057] The mounting location can be configured as a through-hole provided in the housing 1, which is used to pass the outdoor refrigerant pipe 111 or the indoor refrigerant pipe. In this case, the outdoor refrigerant pipe 111 and the indoor refrigerant pipe can be integrally formed to reduce refrigerant pipe leakage. Typically, a sealing ring is provided around the periphery of the through-hole to ensure sealing.

[0058] Furthermore, a quick-connect connector 15 is fixed to the mounting position, one end of which is connected to the outdoor refrigerant pipe 111, and the other end is connected to the indoor refrigerant pipe. Specifically, the refrigerant circuit of the mobile air conditioner is injected with refrigerant before the equipment leaves the factory. At this time, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and the air conditioner indoor unit are often pre-connected together through the refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant circuit needs to be installed through the housing 1, which may cause inconvenience in assembly. Therefore, a quick-connect connector 15 is provided. The quick-connect connector 15 is pre-fixed to the mounting position, and one end of the quick-connect connector 15 is connected to the outdoor refrigerant pipe 111, and the other end is connected to the indoor refrigerant pipe, thereby facilitating the installation of the outdoor refrigerant pipe 111 and / or the indoor refrigerant pipe. Moreover, if the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is damaged during use, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 can be directly replaced.

[0059] To facilitate installation of the quick-connect connector 15, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 further includes a mounting plate 104. The mounting plate 104 is detachably mounted on the housing 1, and the mounting position is provided on the mounting plate 104. Specifically, the housing 1 further includes the mounting plate 104, and the quick-connect connector 15 is mounted on the mounting plate 104, and is further mounted to the housing 1 via the mounting plate 104. The mounting plate 104 is provided with a reinforcing boss, and the quick-connect connector 15 is mounted on the reinforcing boss.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the housing 1 is further provided with a mounting hole for connecting wires and / or an indoor drainage pipe, and the inner periphery of the mounting hole is further mounted to a sealing ring. Specifically, the housing 1 is further provided with a mounting hole for connecting wires and / or an indoor drainage pipe, thereby facilitating electrical connection between the indoor air conditioner unit and the outdoor air conditioner unit 100. The indoor drainage pipe is mounted through the mounting hole 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. The inner periphery of the mounting hole is further mounted to a sealing ring to ensure the sealing of the housing 1 and reduce the possibility of dust, mosquitoes, etc. entering the interior of the outdoor air conditioner unit 100.

[0061] To facilitate installation of the outdoor air conditioner 100, in an embodiment of the present invention, mounting feet are provided at the bottom of the chassis 102. These mounting feet are used to support the entire indoor air conditioner. When the outdoor air conditioner 100 is suspended, the mounting feet are used to attach to the 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 mounting feet support the entire indoor air conditioner, preventing the chassis 102 from directly contacting the ground.

[0062] The present invention also provides an air conditioner comprising an indoor unit, a flexible connection assembly, and an outdoor unit 100. The specific structure of the outdoor unit 100 is similar to the above-described embodiments. Since the present air conditioner utilizes all of the technical solutions of all of the above-described embodiments, it possesses at least all of the beneficial effects provided by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, which will not be further detailed here.
