[0040] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0042] For ease of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figures, such as "inside," "outside," "inside," "outside," "below," "beneath," "above," "above," "front," "back," and the like. Such spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures undergoes a positional flip or a change in posture or a change in motion, then these directional indications will also change accordingly. For example, an element described as "below" or "below" another element or feature will subsequently be oriented as "above" or "above" another element or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0043] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that outdoor units with a spliced ​​structure on the top are prone to water entering the interior of the outdoor unit through the splicing gap and thus causing safety accidents, the present application provides an outdoor unit and an air conditioner, which can receive the water entering the interior of the outdoor unit from the splicing gap on the top of the outdoor unit and divert and discharge the water, thereby avoiding short circuit of the outdoor unit caused by water ingress, and improving the reliability of the outdoor unit and the air conditioner using the above-mentioned outdoor unit.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application provides an outdoor unit, which adopts a top splicing structure, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outdoor unit includes a shell structure and a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, an outdoor fan, etc. arranged in the shell structure. The shell structure mainly includes a front panel, a top cover 30 and a drainage assembly. Among them, the top edge of the front panel and the side edge of the top cover 30 close to the front panel cooperate with each other to form the top splicing structure of the outdoor unit. A splicing gap is formed between the side edge of the top cover 30 adjacent to the front panel and the top edge of the top cover 30. The drainage assembly corresponds to the splicing gap and is arranged directly below the splicing gap, so that when rainy or snowy weather or condensed water in the air enters the interior of the outdoor unit through the splicing gap, it will fall into the drainage assembly below the splicing gap. The drainage assembly will collect, guide and discharge the incoming water, effectively preventing the water in the top splicing gap from entering the interior of the outdoor unit and causing a short circuit accident, thereby improving the reliability of the outdoor unit and the air conditioner using the outdoor unit.

[0045] The outdoor unit's housing structure also includes a back panel 60, side panels connected to the back panel 60 and the front panel, and a chassis at the bottom. Since the improvements in this application primarily concern the connection structure between the front panel and the cover plate, the remaining components of the housing structure will not be described in detail. Generally speaking, a top-jointed structure only forms a joint gap between the top cover 30 and the front panel, with the top cover 30 integrally snapped onto the back panel 60 and the side panels. If a joint gap is formed between the top cover 30 and the back panel 60 or the side panels at the top of the outdoor unit, a drainage assembly can also be provided below the joint gap.

[0046] In a specific embodiment provided in this application, further reference is made to Figures 4 to 7 The front panel includes a front side panel 10 and a cover 20. The front side panel 10 is fixedly connected to the side panel on one side of the outdoor unit housing, while the cover 20 is removably connected to the front side panel 10 and the side panel on the other side of the outdoor unit housing. The cover 20 is provided with an exhaust port for exhausting air from the outdoor fan. By configuring the front panel with the front side panel 10 and the cover 20 being compatible and removable, the cover 20 can be easily removed for inspection and maintenance of the outdoor unit.

[0047] Corresponding to the structure of the front side panel 10 and the outer cover 20, the splicing gap includes a first gap 32 formed between the top edge of the outer cover 20 and the side edge of the top cover 30, and a second gap 33 formed between the top edge of the front side panel 10 and the side edge of the top cover 30. The drainage assembly includes an upper water receiving tray 40 and a lower water receiving tray 50. The upper water receiving tray 40 is provided corresponding to the first gap 32, and the lower water receiving tray 50 is provided below the upper water receiving tray 40 and corresponds to the first gap 32 and the second gap 33. The lower water receiving tray 50 is used to receive water from the second gap 33 and drain from the upper water receiving tray 40.

[0048] The length of the upper water tray 40 is approximately equal to, and preferably greater than, the length of the first gap 32. The width of the upper water tray 40 is greater than the width of the first gap 32, so as to fully receive water entering the outdoor unit through the first gap 32. The lower water tray 50 is positioned to correspond to the first gap 32 and the second gap 33. That is, the length of the lower water tray 50 is greater than the length of the upper water tray 40. This allows the lower water tray 50 to receive not only water entering the second gap 33 but also water draining from the upper water tray 40. The width of the lower water tray 50 is greater than the width of the second gap 33 and, typically, also greater than the width of the upper water tray 40. The lower water tray 50 is provided with a first drain port 53, which collects and directs incoming water for discharge through the first drain port 53 along a predetermined path.

[0049] The first drain outlet 53 can extend outside the shell of the outdoor unit. If both ends of the lower water receiving tray 50 extend to the side panels, the first drain outlet 53 can be opened at the end of the lower water receiving tray 50 and extend outside the side panels so as to discharge the incoming water directly outside the shell of the outdoor unit.

[0050] The first drain port 53 can also be connected to a diversion structure so that the incoming water is discharged to the bottom pan through the diversion structure, and finally discharged from the bottom pan's drainage structure to the outside of the outdoor unit housing. The structure and drainage paths of the upper and lower water receiving trays 40 and 50 will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the upper water tray 40 is integrally formed with the outer cover 20. The upper water tray 40 is connected to the top edge of the outer cover 20 and extends away from the outer cover 20, that is, toward the back panel 60, so that the first gap 32 formed by the top cover 30 and the outer cover 20 is located directly above the upper water tray 40. The upper water tray 40 has an elongated groove structure and includes a first side surface, a bottom plate, and a second side surface connected in sequence. The first side surface, the bottom plate, and the second side surface form an upper guide channel.

[0052] Among them, the first side is fixedly connected to the outer cover 20, effectively avoiding water leakage from the outer cover 20 and the upper water receiving tray 40. The first side extends generally vertically downward, and the second side is arranged opposite to the first side. The second side adopts a structure that is tilted from bottom to top in a direction away from the outer cover 20 at a first preset angle (such as 45°), so that the width of the slot formed by the upper water receiving tray 40 is greater than the width of the slot bottom. On the one hand, it can increase the water receiving capacity, and on the other hand, it can increase the water receiving width, which is convenient for water to enter and collect in the first gap 32. Figure 7 As shown, the bottom plate of the upper water receiving tray 40 can be provided with a certain concave curvature, thereby increasing the water receiving capacity to a certain extent.

[0053] refer to Figures 3 to 6 The upper water receiving pan 40 is open at one end, near the front side panel 10 or the second gap 33, to form a second drain port 42. Water collected by the upper water receiving pan 40 can be drained into the lower water receiving pan 50 through the second drain port 42. Furthermore, a third drain port 43 can be provided at the end of the upper water receiving pan 40 away from the front side panel 10. This allows water collected by the upper water receiving pan 40 to be drained into the lower water receiving pan 50 through the third drain port 43. By providing the second drain port 42 and the third drain port 43 at both ends of the upper water receiving pan 40 along its length, water entering the outdoor unit through the first gap 32 and falling into the upper water receiving pan 40 is then collected there and drained into the lower water receiving pan 50 through the second drain port 42 and the third drain port 43 at both ends of the upper water receiving pan 40, thereby improving drainage efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, the outdoor unit is provided with a motor bracket 31, which is fixedly connected to the back plate 60 and is used to install and fix the drive motor of the outdoor fan. The middle section of the upper water receiving tray 40 is protruded in the direction away from the outer cover 20 to form a water storage portion 41. The water storage portion 41 is overlapped and fixed above the motor bracket 31, so that the upper water receiving tray 40 is supported and fixed by the motor bracket 31 to prevent the upper water receiving tray 40 from sinking after receiving water. The side of the water storage portion 41 away from the outer cover 20, that is, facing the back plate 60, also adopts a structure that is tilted from bottom to top in the direction away from the outer cover 20 at a first preset angle (such as 45°) to further increase the water receiving capacity and local water receiving width of the upper water receiving tray 40.

[0055] The lower water receiving tray 50 is fixed on the motor bracket 31 and is located below the upper water receiving tray 40. The width of the lower water receiving tray 50 is greater than the width of the upper water receiving tray 40. Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lower water receiving tray 50 can be configured to include a lower guide trough 52 and a water receiving trough 51. The lower guide trough 52 and the water receiving trough 51 are arranged side by side, with the bottom plate of the lower guide trough 52 connected to the bottom plate of the water receiving trough 51 and recessed relative to the bottom plate of the water receiving trough 51. The water receiving troughs 51 are intermittently arranged at both ends of the lower water receiving tray 50 in the longitudinal direction. The water receiving troughs 51 are used to communicate with the second drain port 42 and the third drain port 43 at both ends of the upper water receiving tray 40. The lower guide trough 52 is located on the side closer to the outer cover 20, while the water receiving trough 51 is located on the side farther away from the outer cover 20.

[0056] The side of the water receiving trough 51 overlaps the outside of the second side of the upper water receiving tray 40 and seals against the second side of the upper water receiving tray 40. The bottom of the water receiving trough 51 overlaps below the end of the bottom of the upper water receiving tray 40 and seals against the bottom of the upper water receiving tray 40. The bottom of the lower guide trough 52 seals against the bottom of the upper water receiving tray 40 to prevent water leakage. The side of the lower guide trough 52 fits against the outside of the first side of the upper water receiving tray 40. In other words, the side of the lower water receiving tray 50 is located outside the two side surfaces of the upper water receiving tray 40, making the width of the lower water receiving tray 50 greater than that of the upper water receiving tray 40, so as to better receive drainage from the upper water receiving tray 40 and prevent water leakage.

[0057] The bottom plate of the lower guide trough 52 extends downwardly at a second predetermined angle (e.g., 10°) from away from the outer housing 20 to closer to the outer housing 20, that is, from the water receiving trough 51 to the lower guide trough 52. A first drain outlet 53 is provided on the side of the lower water receiving tray 50 or the lower guide trough 52 facing the outer housing 20. Specifically, it can be located at the junction between the bottom plate and the side of the lower guide trough 52. Water discharged into the lower guide trough 52 flows along the inclined bottom plate to the side of the bottom plate closer to the outer housing 20 and is discharged from the first drain outlet 53 on that side.

[0058] In this way, external water enters the upper water receiving tray 40 from the first gap 32 and the water is gathered and flows toward the second drain outlet 42 and the third drain outlet 43 at both ends of the upper water receiving tray 40, and flows into the water receiving groove 51 of the lower water receiving tray 50 through the second drain outlet 42 and the third drain outlet 43. The drainage received by the water receiving groove 51 flows into the lower guide groove 52. The external water falls directly into the lower water receiving tray 50 from the second gap 33 and is gathered with the drainage of the upper water receiving tray 40. After being gathered in the lower guide groove 52 on the side close to the outer cover 20, it is discharged from the first drain outlet 53 and finally enters the bottom tray and is discharged by the drainage structure of the bottom tray.

[0059] In the above embodiment, a guide ring 21 is provided on the inner side of the outer cover 20, corresponding to the exhaust port. The structure of the guide ring 21 is similar to that of existing outdoor units. Two sets of first drain outlets 53 are provided, one on each side of the axis of the guide ring 21. Water discharged from the first drain outlets 53 of the lower water tray 50 flows along the guide ring 21 toward the bottom tray, preventing splashing. Without the need for additional diversion structures, the water can be smoothly directed to the bottom tray by the guide ring 21, which directs the exhaust air from the outdoor fan.

[0060] In some other embodiments, a guide pipe may be connected between the first drain port 53 and the chassis to guide the drainage from the first drain port 53 to the chassis.

[0061] It should be noted that the structure of the lower water receiving tray 50 is not limited to the above embodiments and drawings. As long as the length and width of the lower water receiving tray 50 are greater than the upper water receiving tray 40, and it can receive water from the second gap 33 and drain water from the upper water receiving tray 40, the position of the first drain port 53 can be flexibly opened according to actual needs.

[0062] The upper water receiving tray 40 and the lower water receiving tray 50 can be formed by cutting and bending metal sheets, or can be stamped separately. In order to reduce water ingress into the joint gap, a sealing gasket can also be provided between the joint edge of the top cover 30 and the front panel as required.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, comprising an indoor unit and an outdoor unit provided by any of the above embodiments, the outdoor unit comprising a shell structure and a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger and an outdoor fan arranged in the shell structure. The shell structure comprises a top cover 30, a chassis and a front panel, side panels and a back panel 60 supported between the top cover 30 and the chassis. The top of the shell structure adopts a splicing structure, and a splicing gap is formed between the side of the top cover 30 and the top of the front panel. A drainage assembly is provided below the splicing gap, so that the water entering the interior of the outdoor unit from the splicing gap can be received, collected and diverted by the drainage assembly to avoid safety hazards caused by water ingress and improve the reliability of the outdoor unit and the air conditioner operation. Other parts of the air conditioner can refer to the existing technology and will not be described in detail in this application.
