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 embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings).

[0035] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention 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 embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] To protect outdoor units from external environmental factors like wind, rain, and dust, they are equipped with specialized protective screens. These screens provide physical protection, prevent small animals from entering and potentially damaging the unit, and also enhance aesthetics. However, efficient stacking and storage of these screens is a significant concern during production and transportation.

[0037] The traditional design of air conditioner outdoor unit grilles does not take into account the convenience of stacking between grilles. When large quantities of storage or transportation are required, additional professional tools are often required to help position and stabilize the grilles in the stacked state. This requires high technical skills from the operator and is not convenient for non-professionals to operate. It not only increases the difficulty of operation but also increases the cost. In addition, improper stacking methods may also cause the grilles to deform or even be damaged, affecting the end-user experience. Moreover, when stacking air conditioner outdoor unit grilles, the lack of an effective positioning structure can easily cause the grilles to be misaligned or tilted, affecting the stability of the stacking, which may cause damage during transportation.

[0038] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioner grille, an air conditioner outdoor unit, and an air conditioner, each of which has a positioning structure disposed on the grille body. Positioning holes in the positioning structure are disposed on one of the front and back surfaces of the grille body, and positioning projections in the positioning structure are disposed on the other of the front and back surfaces of the grille body. This allows the grilles to be stacked, allowing the positioning projections on one grille body to be inserted into the positioning holes on another grille body, thereby utilizing the inherent structure of the grille bodies for stacking, resulting in simple and convenient operation. Furthermore, the coordination between the positioning projections and the positioning holes enhances the stability of the stacked state.

[0039] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning mesh cover, which is applied to an air conditioning outdoor unit. The air conditioning mesh cover 100 includes:

[0041] The mesh cover body 110 has a front and a back that are relatively arranged. It is understandable that the front of the mesh cover body 110 is the side facing away from the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the back of the mesh cover body 110 is the side facing the air conditioner outdoor unit. Optionally, the material of the mesh cover body 110 can be plastic, which is light in weight, low in cost, and has a certain structural strength. In one embodiment, the mesh cover body 110 can be square, rectangular or other shapes, which are not limited here; and

[0042] The positioning structure 120 includes a positioning hole 121 and a positioning protrusion 122. One of the front and back sides is provided with the positioning hole 121, and the other of the front and back sides is provided with the positioning protrusion 122. For the convenience of description, this application takes the example of the front side provided with the positioning hole 121 and the back side provided with the positioning protrusion 122. Optionally, the positioning hole 121 can be a circular hole, a conical hole, or a square hole, etc., which is not limited here. The positioning protrusion 122 is adapted to the shape of the positioning hole 121 to ensure that the positioning protrusion 122 can be inserted into the positioning hole 121 on the other mesh cover body 110. In one embodiment, the positioning protrusion 122 and the positioning hole 121 can be arranged in a facing direction from the front to the back, or they can be arranged in an offset manner. The selection can be made according to actual conditions and is not limited here. Optionally, there can be multiple positioning structures 120, and multiple positioning structures 120 are arranged along the periphery of the mesh cover body 110.

[0043] When two air conditioning grilles 100 are stacked, the positioning protrusion 122 in one air conditioning grille 100 fits into the positioning hole 121 in the other air conditioning grille 100. It is understood that each grille body 110 is provided with a positioning hole 121 and a positioning protrusion 122, and the positioning protrusion 122 on one grille body 110 is inserted into the positioning hole 121 on the other grille body 110, thereby achieving the stacking of the two air conditioning grilles 100.

[0044] In the technical solution adopted in this embodiment, by providing a positioning hole 121 and a positioning protrusion 122 on the mesh cover body 110, when stacking the air conditioning mesh covers 100, the positioning protrusion 122 on one mesh cover body 110 can be inserted into the positioning hole 121 on another mesh cover body 110, thereby utilizing the positioning structure 120 on the mesh cover body 110 itself to achieve the stacking and placement of multiple air conditioning mesh covers 100. The structure is simple, no professional tools are required, the operation is convenient, and the difficulty of operation is reduced. Moreover, the positioning structure 120 can effectively ensure the accurate alignment of multiple air conditioning mesh covers 100 when stacked, improve the stability of the stacked state, and reduce damage during transportation. In addition, non-professionals can also perform the stacking operation of the air conditioning mesh covers 100 through the positioning structure 120, which can effectively improve work efficiency.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4The positioning structure 120 also includes a support platform 123 protruding from the inner wall of the positioning hole 121. When two air conditioning grilles 100 are stacked, the positioning protrusion 122 in one air conditioning grille 100 extends into the positioning hole 121 and abuts against the support platform 123 to limit the depth of the positioning protrusion 122 into the positioning hole 121. If the positioning protrusion 122 is inserted into the positioning hole 121 too deep, the two stacked air conditioning grilles 100 will be pressed together, making it more difficult to separate them. To this end, a support platform 123 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning hole 121. The support platform 123 protrudes from the inner wall of the positioning hole 121. When the positioning protrusion 122 in one air-conditioning mesh cover 100 is inserted into the positioning hole 121 of another air-conditioning mesh cover 100 stacked therewith, the support platform 123 will abut against the end of the positioning protrusion 122 along the depth direction of the positioning hole 121, thereby limiting the depth of the positioning protrusion 122 inserted into the positioning hole 121, making it easier to separate the two stacked air-conditioning mesh covers 100. Optionally, the length of the support platform 123 from the top of the positioning hole 121 can be determined according to actual usage requirements and is not limited here. It is understandable that the shorter the length of the support platform 123 from the top of the positioning hole 121, the easier it is to separate the two stacked air-conditioning mesh covers 100.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support platform 123 is arranged in a ring shape along the inner wall of the positioning hole 121. It can be understood that the support platform 123 is arranged in a circle along the inner wall of the positioning hole 121. In this way, the contact area between the support platform 123 and the positioning protrusion 122 can be increased, and the supporting strength of the support platform 123 on the positioning protrusion 122 can be improved, thereby improving the stacking stability of the air-conditioning mesh cover 100; or, at least two support platforms 123 are arranged at intervals along the inner wall of the positioning hole 121. In this way, not only can the supporting area for the positioning protrusion 122 be increased and the supporting strength be improved, but also on this basis, the use of materials can be reduced and the weight of the overall structure can be reduced.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the positioning hole 121 decreases from the front to the back. Thus, the top opening of the positioning hole 121 is large, facilitating the insertion of the positioning protrusion 122 on the other air conditioner grille 100 into the positioning hole 121. The bottom opening of the positioning hole 121 is small, limiting the insertion depth of the positioning protrusion 122 into the positioning hole 121, preventing the two air conditioner grilles 100 from being too tightly pressed together and facilitating the separation of the two air conditioner grilles 100 for use.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4The positioning hole 121 and the positioning protrusion 122 are arranged opposite each other. The positioning hole 121 passes through the mesh cover body 110. The positioning protrusion 122 is provided with a mounting hole 140. The mounting hole 140 is connected to the positioning hole 121. In this way, the mesh cover body 110 can be fixed to the panel of the outdoor unit through the provided mounting hole 140. Moreover, the positioning hole 121 and the mounting hole 140 are connected. The mounting hole 140 can be directly reached through the positioning hole 121, so that a fastener can be used to penetrate from one side of the mesh cover body 110, pass through the positioning hole 121, and then enter the mounting hole 140, thereby fixing the mesh cover body 110 to the panel of the outdoor unit, reducing the complexity of assembly.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , the aperture R of the positioning hole 121 at one end close to the mounting hole 140 is greater than or equal to 18 mm, so that tools such as an electric screwdriver can be easily inserted, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the mesh cover body 110 and the outdoor unit panel 200; and / or, the aperture R of the positioning hole 121 at one end away from the mounting hole 140 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the positioning protrusion 122, so that the positioning protrusion 122 can be inserted into the positioning hole 121.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mesh cover body 110 includes a cover portion 111 and a frame 112 provided on the periphery of the cover portion 111. The frame 112 has a front and a back surface. Positioning holes 121 and positioning protrusions 122 are provided on the frame 112. Specifically, the mesh cover body 110 includes a cover portion 111 and a frame 112. The cover portion 111 is a hollow structure. The structure of the existing product can be referred to and is not limited here. The frame 112 is provided on the periphery of the cover portion 111 and is fixed to the panel of the outdoor unit, so that the entire mesh cover body 110 is assembled on the outdoor unit. The frame 112 can be square, and the positioning structure 120 is provided at the corners of the square.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 The air conditioning grille 100 also includes a raised structure 150 protruding from the back. The length of the positioning protrusion 122 extending into the positioning hole 121 is L, and the height of the positioning protrusion 122 extending beyond the raised structure 150 in the direction away from the frame 112 is H, where L ≤ H. This increases the distance between the raised structure 150 of one air conditioning grille 100 and the cover portion 111 of the other air conditioning grille 100, thereby preventing the raised structure 150 from scratching the cover portion 111. Optionally, the raised structure 150 may be a buckle, a flange, or the like.

[0052] To achieve the above purpose, refer to Figure 5The present invention provides an outdoor air conditioner, comprising an outdoor panel 200 and an air conditioner grille 100 connected to the outdoor panel 200. The air conditioner grille 100 is the air conditioner grille 100 described above. The structure of the air conditioner grille 100 is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiment. Since the present outdoor air conditioner utilizes all of the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiment, it possesses at least all of the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiment, and therefore, no further details will be given here.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 The outer panel 200 is provided with a recessed portion 210, which is provided corresponding to the positioning convex portion 122. In this way, the air conditioner mesh cover 100 can be positioned when assembled, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the air conditioner mesh cover 100 and the outer panel 200.

[0054] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides an air conditioner comprising the above-described outdoor unit. Specifically, the structure of the outdoor unit is similar to that of the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the present air conditioner utilizes all of the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiment, it at least has all of the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiment, and therefore, no further details will be given here.
