Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an air conditioner outdoor unit to solve the technical problems in the prior art of low assembly and installation efficiency of the electric control box of the air conditioner outdoor unit and inconvenient maintenance.

[0004] The air conditioner outdoor unit provided by the utility model includes a casing, a condenser and an electric control box arranged inside the casing, a side panel is provided at the end of the condenser, one of the side panel and the electric control box is provided with a hanging hole, and the other is provided with a hook, and the electric control box can be hung on the side panel through the hook and the hanging hole.

[0005] The air conditioner outdoor unit provided by the utility model can produce the following beneficial effects:

[0006] The utility model provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, wherein the electric control box can be hung on the side panel provided at the end of the condenser through a hook and a hanging hole. Therefore, when assembling and installing the electric control box or maintaining the electric control box, the electric control box can be hung on the side panel for easy operation. When assembling and installing the electric control box, the electric control box is first hung on the side panel, and then the wiring or fixed circuit is assembled. After completion, the electric control box can be removed from the side panel and then fixed to the target position. In this way, since the wiring or fixed circuit is assembled very conveniently, the assembly and assembly efficiency of the electric control box can be effectively improved. In addition, the hanging hole or hook on the side panel can also be used as the installation position of the electric control box. At this time, after fixing the circuit, there is no need to remove the electric control box from the side panel, but the electric control box can be directly fixed.

[0007] Furthermore, the side plate is provided with a hanging plate, and the hanging hole is opened on the hanging plate along the front-back direction; the hook is provided on the electric control box, and the opening of the hook faces downward, and the hook can be hung on the hanging hole.

[0008] Under this technical solution, when it is necessary to fix the wiring of the electric control box before installing it, or when it is necessary to maintain the electric control box, the hook with the opening facing downward on the electric control box can be hung on the hanging hole on the side panel, and there is no need for a dedicated person to carry the electric control box.

[0009] Furthermore, the hanging plate is formed by extending forward from the front edge of the right side plate and bending toward one side.

[0010] Furthermore, the hanging hole is provided with an inserting portion and a hanging portion in a direction from top to bottom, the width of the inserting portion is greater than the width of the hanging portion, and the width of the hanging portion is not less than the width of the hook.

[0011] With this technical solution, when the electric control box needs to be hung on the side panel, the hook on the electric control box can be inserted into the insertion portion of the hanging hole. Then, the electric control box is moved downward and the hook moves to the bottom of the hanging portion of the hanging hole. The hook will be locked in the hanging hole. The electric control box is released and the electric control box is hung on the side panel. The width of the insertion portion is larger than the width of the hook, which facilitates the hook to quickly enter the hanging hole, thereby improving operation efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide portion is provided between the insertion portion and the hanging portion, and the width of the guide portion gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the upper end of the guide portion is consistent with the width of the insertion portion, and the lower end of the guide portion is consistent with the width of the hanging portion.

[0013] Under this technical solution, the guide part plays a transition role between the insertion part and the hanging part. When the hook on the electric control box moves from top to bottom, the guide part guides the hook, so that the hook can enter the hanging part quickly and accurately.

[0014] Furthermore, the electric control box is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the casing, and the hook is arranged on the rear wall of the electric control box.

[0015] Furthermore, the hook includes a boss portion, a vertical portion, and a connecting portion. The boss portion is provided on the rear wall, the vertical portion is spaced apart from the boss portion in a direction away from the rear wall, and the connecting portion is connected between the tops of the boss portion and the vertical portion. The provision of the boss portion can increase the thickness of the rear wall of the electric control box where the hook is provided, thereby improving the structural strength of the hook provided there.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided between the two sides of the boss portion along the width direction and the rear wall. Thus, the reinforcing ribs can effectively improve the connection strength of the connection between the hook and the rear wall of the electric control box.

[0017] Optionally, the hook is provided on the side panel, and the opening of the hook faces upward; the hanging hole is provided in the electric control box.

[0018] Under this technical solution, when the circuit of the electric control box needs to be fixed before installing it, or when the electric control box needs to be maintained, the electric control box can be hung on the hook with the opening facing upward on the side panel through the hanging hole on the electric control box.

[0019] Furthermore, there are two hanging holes and two hooks, and the two hooks are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two hanging holes. One hanging hole and one hook constitute a set of connecting structures. In the present invention, the two sets of connecting structures limit the two different positions of the electric control box, allowing the electric control box to be hung more stably on the right side panel of the condenser.

[0020] Furthermore, the two hanging holes and the two hooks are spaced apart in the vertical direction. In this way, the upper and lower connection structures together limit the electric control box in the vertical direction, which can effectively limit the lower part of the electric control box from rotating toward the right side plate of the condenser.

[0021] Furthermore, the interior of the casing is an integrated cavity, the condenser and the fan of the outdoor unit are located on one side of the integrated cavity, and the electric control box and the compressor of the outdoor unit are located on the other side of the integrated cavity.

[0022] Under this technical solution, no partition is provided inside the casing to divide the chamber into two parts, which not only reduces costs and simplifies the assembly process, but also helps to make more effective use of the space inside the outdoor unit and reduce the overall size of the outdoor unit.

[0041] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following describes in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0042] This embodiment provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, combined with Figures 1 to 4As shown, the air conditioner outdoor unit includes a casing and a condenser 200 and an electric control box 400 arranged inside the casing. A side panel 300 is provided at the end of the condenser 200. One of the side panel 300 and the electric control box 400 is provided with a hanging hole 320, and the other is provided with a hook 420. The electric control box 400 can be hung on the side panel 300 through the hook 420 and the hanging hole 320.

[0043] In the air conditioner outdoor unit provided in this embodiment, the electric control box 400 can be hung on the side panel 300 provided at the end of the condenser 200 via the hook 420 and the hanging hole 320. Therefore, when assembling and installing the electric control box 400, as well as maintaining it, the electric control box 400 can be hung on the side panel 300 for easy operation. When assembling and installing the electric control box 400, the electric control box 400 is first hung on the side panel 300, and then the wiring or fixed circuits are assembled. After completion, the electric control box 400 can be removed from the side panel 300 and then fixed to the target position. This makes it very convenient to assemble and fix the wiring, thereby effectively improving the assembly and installation efficiency of the electric control box 400. In addition, the hanging hole 320 or the hook 420 on the side panel 300 can also serve as a mounting position for the electric control box 400. In this case, after fixing the circuits, the electric control box 400 does not need to be removed from the side panel 300, but can be directly fixed.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interior of the housing forms a single-piece cavity, with the condenser 200 and the outdoor unit's fan 500 located on one side of the cavity, and the electrical control box 400 and the outdoor unit's compressor 600 located on the other side. In other words, in this embodiment, no partition is provided within the housing to divide the cavity into two parts. This not only reduces costs and simplifies the assembly process, but also facilitates more efficient use of the space within the outdoor unit and reduces the overall size of the outdoor unit.

[0045] More specifically, in this embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the housing includes a base 100, and the condenser 200, fan 500 and compressor 600 are directly or through a bracket installed on the base 100; moreover, the condenser 200 and fan 500 are located on the left side of the integrated cavity, and the electric control box 400 and compressor 600 are located on the right side of the integrated cavity. The condenser 200 is in a "┌" shape, and the electric control box 400 can be hung on the side panel 300 at the right end of the condenser 200. Figures 1 to 4 , the directions indicated by the arrows "ab" are left and right directions, the directions indicated by the arrows "cd" are front and rear directions, and the directions indicated by the arrows "ef" are up and down directions.

[0046] It should also be noted here that, in other embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned components are not limited to the above-mentioned setting orientations. For example, the condenser 200 and the fan 500 can also be located on the right side of the integrated cavity, while the electrical control box 400 and the compressor 600 are located on the left side of the integrated cavity. The condenser 200 is in a "┐" shape, and the electrical control box 400 can be hung on the side panel 300 at the left end of the condenser 200.

[0047] Figures 5 to 7 The specific structure of the electric control box 400 is shown. Figures 8 to 10 FIG. 3 shows the specific structure of the side plate 300 at the right end of the condenser 200. In this embodiment, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the hook 420 is provided on the electric control box 400, and the opening of the hook 420 faces downward; Figures 8 to 10 As shown, a hanging hole 320 is provided on the side panel 300 at the right end of the condenser 200. More specifically, the side panel 300 is provided with a hanging plate 310, and the hanging hole 320 is provided on the hanging plate 310 along the front-to-back direction. With this arrangement, when it is necessary to secure the wiring of the electric control box 400 before installing it, or when the electric control box 400 needs to be maintained, the hook 420 on the electric control box 400, with the opening facing downward, can be hung on the hanging hole 320 on the side panel 300, eliminating the need for a dedicated person to carry the electric control box 400.

[0048] It should be noted that the hook 420 and the hanging hole 320 are not limited to the above-described locations. For example, in other embodiments of the present application, the hook 420 may be disposed on the side panel 300 with the opening of the hook 420 facing upward, while the hanging hole 320 is provided in the electrical control box 400. In this arrangement, when it is necessary to secure the wiring of the electrical control box 400 before installing it, or when it is necessary to perform maintenance on the electrical control box 400, the electrical control box 400 can be hung on the hook 420 on the side panel 300 with the opening facing upward through the hanging hole 320 on the electrical control box 400.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the suspension plate 310 is formed by extending forward from the front edge of the side panel 300 and bending toward one side. This arrangement simplifies the structure and manufacturing process of the side panel 300. However, in other embodiments of the present application, the suspension plate 310 can also be fixedly connected to the side panel 300 by welding or other means.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 9As shown, the hanging hole 320 is provided with an insertion portion 321 and a hanging portion 323 from top to bottom. The width of the insertion portion 321 is greater than the width of the hanging portion 323, and the width of the hanging portion 323 is not less than the width of the hook 420. With this arrangement, when the electric control box 400 needs to be hung on the side panel 300, the hook 420 on the electric control box 400 can be first inserted into the insertion portion 321 of the hanging hole 320. The electric control box 400 is then moved downward until the hook 420 reaches the bottom of the hanging portion 323 of the hanging hole 320. The hook 420 will then be locked in the hanging hole 320. The electric control box 400 is then released, and the electric control box 400 is hung on the side panel 300. The fact that the width of the insertion portion 321 is greater than the width of the hook 420 facilitates quick insertion of the hook 420 into the hanging hole 320, thereby improving operational efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the hanging hole 320 may also be a hole with the same width at the top and bottom, as long as it can hang the hook 420 on the electric control box 400.

[0051] Continue as Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a guide portion 322 is further provided between the insertion portion 321 and the hanging portion 323. The width of the guide portion 322 gradually decreases from top to bottom, with the upper end of the guide portion 322 being the same width as the insertion portion 321, and the lower end of the guide portion 322 being the same width as the hanging portion 323. In this arrangement, the guide portion 322 serves as a transition between the insertion portion 321 and the hanging portion 323. As the hook 420 on the electric control box 400 moves from top to bottom, the guide portion 322 guides the hook 420, allowing the hook 420 to quickly and accurately enter the hanging portion 323.

[0052] Furthermore, the width of the guide portion 322 decreases linearly from top to bottom. This arrangement simplifies the manufacturing process of the hanging hole 320. Preferably, in this embodiment, the corners at the junction between the upper end of the guide portion 322 and the insertion portion 321 are rounded, and the corners at the junction between the lower end of the guide portion 322 and the hanging portion 323 are also rounded. This prevents the hook 420 from being scratched when moving within the hanging hole 320.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the width of the guide portion 322 may not change linearly along the top-down direction. For example, the guide portion 322 may include an upper arc segment and a lower arc segment. The upper arc segment is smoothly connected to the insertion portion 321, and the lower arc segment is smoothly connected to the hanging portion 323. As for the upper arc segment and the lower arc segment, they can be directly and smoothly connected, or a straight line segment can be set, and the straight line segment is smoothly connected to both.

[0054] In this embodiment, the electric control box 400 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the housing, more specifically, the electric control box 400 is fixedly mounted on the right side wall of the housing; and the hook 420 is provided on the rear wall 410 of the electric control box 400. Figure 5 As shown, the electric control box 400 is provided with a plug 430 at the bottom, a buckle 440 at the top, and fixing holes 450 on both sides of the opening. When fixing the electric control box 400, the plug 430 can be first inserted into the corresponding jack to limit the electric control box 400, and then the top buckle 440 is clamped in the corresponding slot to preliminarily fix the electric control box 400. Finally, a screw is passed through the fixing hole 450 on the electric control box 400 and the screw is fixed to the right side wall of the casing. In this way, the electric control box 400 can be firmly installed on the right side wall of the casing.

[0055] Figure 6 The specific structure of the hook 420 is shown. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the hook 420 includes a boss portion 421, a vertical portion 423, and a connecting portion 422. The boss portion 421 is provided on the rear wall 410, the vertical portion 423 is spaced apart from the boss portion 421 in a direction away from the rear wall 410, and the connecting portion 422 is connected between the tops of the boss portion 421 and the vertical portion 423. The provision of the boss portion 421 can increase the thickness of the rear wall 410 of the electric control box 400 where the hook 420 is provided, thereby improving the structural strength of the location where the hook 420 is provided.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, continue as Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 424 are further provided between the rear wall 410 and the boss portion 421 on both sides along its width direction. The reinforcing ribs 424 can effectively improve the connection strength between the hook 420 and the rear wall 410 of the electrical control box 400. More specifically, in this embodiment, two reinforcing ribs 424 are provided on each side of the boss portion 421. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the number and location of the reinforcing ribs 424 are not limited to the above. For example, one reinforcing rib 424 may be provided on each side and between the top of the boss portion 421 and the rear wall 410 of the electrical control box 400.

[0057] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 as well as Figures 7 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two hanging holes 320 and two hooks 420, and the two hooks 420 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the two hanging holes 320. One hanging hole 320 and one hook 420 form a set of connecting structures. The two sets of connecting structures limit the two different positions of the electric control box 400, allowing the electric control box 400 to be hung more stably on the right side panel of the condenser 200.

[0058] More specifically, in this embodiment, the two hanging holes 320 and the two hooks 420 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. This arrangement allows the upper and lower sets of connecting structures to jointly limit the electrical control box 400 in the vertical direction, effectively preventing the lower portion of the electrical control box 400 from rotating toward the right side panel of the condenser 200. Of course, if the electrical control box 400 is relatively thick or deep in the left-right direction, the two sets of connecting structures can also be spaced apart in the left-right direction to effectively prevent the electrical control box 400 from rotating downward at one end in the left-right direction.

[0059] 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.
