[0046] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementation examples and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides an inductor support 100, which has an opening at the top and includes a bottom plate 110 and a plurality of side plates. The bottom plate 110 is used to support the inductor 200, and the plurality of side plates 120 are arranged around the inductor 200. Each side plate is connected to the bottom plate 110, and there is a gap between any two adjacent side plates. The gap extends from top to bottom to the upper end surface close to the bottom plate 110, and the gap is configured to expose the lateral corners or lateral outer sides of the inductor 200.

[0049] The reactor support 100 provided in this embodiment has a structure formed by several side panels with several gaps, which is a non-enclosed structure and has an open top. Therefore, after the reactor 200 is installed on the bottom plate 110 of the reactor support 100, the space in which the reactor 200 is located is relatively open, and the top of the reactor 200 and the lateral corners or lateral outer parts of the reactor 200 are exposed. The heat emitted by the reactor 200 during operation can be carried away by the airflow through the top opening and side gaps of the reactor support 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance and extending the service life of the reactor 200. In addition, the open design of the reactor support 100 also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the reactor 200 and reduces its weight.

[0050] Preferably, see Figures 1-4 The reactor bracket 100 is set to a structure with four sides to better adapt to the reactor 200 with four sides; the above-mentioned several side panels include a first side panel 120, a second side panel 130 and a third side panel 140 respectively arranged on three sides of the reactor bracket 100, and the other side of the reactor bracket 100 is opened to further improve the openness of the reactor bracket 100, so as to improve the heat dissipation performance of the reactor 200. On the basis of this structure, the first side panel 120 and the second side panel 130 are arranged relative to each other, and the first side panel 120 and the third side panel 140 are used to connect the heat exchanger 300 inside the air-conditioning outdoor unit, and the second side panel 130 is used to connect the motor bracket 400 inside the air-conditioning outdoor unit. Thus, the inductor bracket 100 can be fixed to the area between the heat exchanger 300 and the motor bracket 400 inside the air-conditioning outdoor unit by using each side panel. On the one hand, the inductor 200 is arranged close to the heat exchanger 300, and the heat exchanger 300 can be used to absorb the heat released by the inductor 200 when the air conditioner is heating, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation performance of the inductor 200; on the other hand, the cooling fan 500 inside the air-conditioning outdoor unit can accelerate the flow rate of the air flow inside the air-conditioning outdoor unit, thereby accelerating the dissipation rate of the heat released by the inductor 200 and further improving the heat dissipation performance of the inductor 200.

[0051] A downwardly opening first groove 121 may be provided between the first side plate 120 and the heat exchanger 300. This creates a buffer space between the portion of the first side plate 120 near the bottom plate 110 and the heat exchanger 300, thereby reducing the collision energy between the reactor support 100 and the heat exchanger 300. Furthermore, airflow entering the first groove 121 enhances the heat dissipation of the first side plate 120, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the reactor 200.

[0052] Preferably, the groove depth of the first groove 121 can be set to 95-105 mm. Within this range, it can meet the structural requirements and reduce the eddy current generated in the first groove 121, thereby reducing noise.

[0053] A downwardly opening second groove 131 can be provided between the second side plate 130 and the motor bracket 400. This creates a buffer space between the portion of the second side plate 130 near the base plate 110 and the motor bracket 400, reducing the collision energy between the reactor bracket 100 and the heat exchanger 300. Furthermore, airflow entering the second groove 131 enhances the heat dissipation of the second side plate 130, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the reactor 200.

[0054] Preferably, the groove depth of the second groove 131 can be set to 23 to 33 mm. Within this range, the structural requirements can be met while the eddy current generated in the second groove 131 can be reduced, thereby reducing noise.

[0055] A first through hole 122 can be provided in the first side plate 120 at a location corresponding to the wall of the first groove 121. On the one hand, the first through hole 122 can serve as a heat dissipation hole to further enhance the heat dissipation effect of the airflow on the reactor 200. On the other hand, the provision of the first through hole 122 also helps to improve the structural strength of the first side plate 120. Furthermore, the provision of the first through hole 122 can also reduce weight. The first through hole 122 can be elongated, and the length direction of the first through hole 122 can be arranged parallel to the bottom plate 110. There can be multiple first through holes 122, and the multiple first through holes 122 can be arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate 110.

[0056] A second through hole 141 can be provided on the third side plate 140. This second through hole 141 can serve as a heat dissipation hole to further improve the heat dissipation effect of the reactor 200. Furthermore, the provision of the second through hole 141 improves the structural strength of the third side plate 140. Furthermore, the provision of the second through hole 141 can reduce weight. The second through hole 141 can be elongated, with its length perpendicular to the bottom plate 110. A single second through hole 141 can be located in the center of the third side plate 140.

[0057] First flanges 142 may be provided on both sides of the third side plate 140 to enhance the structural strength of the third side plate 140 .

[0058] Second flanges 143 may be provided on both sides of the vertical hole walls of the through hole (the second through hole 141 ) on the third side plate 140 to further enhance the structural strength of the third side plate 140 .

[0059] A third flange 111 folded upward may be provided on a side of the bottom plate 110 opposite to the third side plate 140 . The third flange 111 not only strengthens the bottom plate 110 , but also provides a certain degree of protection for the reactor 200 .

[0060] Specifically, a first positioning groove 123 can be provided at the top of the first side plate 120, so that the first positioning groove 123 can cooperate with the top of the heat exchanger 300 to realize the positioning of the heat exchanger 300 on the reactor bracket 100. During installation, it is only necessary to snap the first positioning groove 123 onto the top of the heat exchanger 300 to complete the assembly, which is very convenient.

[0061] A fourth flange 132 can be provided on the top of the second side panel 130. During installation, the fourth flange 132 can be overlapped onto the motor bracket 400, and the first flange 142 can be locked and fixed to the motor bracket 400 using the first locking assembly, which facilitates assembly and ensures the fixing effect of the inductor bracket 100, so that the inductor bracket 100 can be fixed to the specified position.

[0062] A second positioning groove 144 can be provided on the top of the third side plate 140, so that the second positioning groove 144 can cooperate with the heat exchanger 300 to realize the positioning of the heat exchanger 300 on the reactor bracket 100. During installation, it is only necessary to snap the second positioning groove 144 onto the top of the heat exchanger 300 to complete the assembly, which is very convenient.

[0063] Preferably, the first side panel 120, the second side panel 130, and the bottom panel 110 can be formed as an integrally formed structure, which is beneficial for improving structural strength, reducing the number of parts, and facilitating processing and assembly. Specifically, the first side panel 120, the second side panel 130, and the bottom panel 110 can be formed by sheet metal cutting and bending.

[0064] The third side plate 140 and the bottom plate 110 can be locked and fixed by the second locking assembly 150 to reduce material waste.

[0065] Furthermore, a threaded connector may be provided in the second locking assembly 150 , and the third side plate 140 and the bottom plate 110 may be locked and fixed by utilizing the threaded connector, which is easy to operate and has a reliable connection.

[0066] A limiting protrusion 112 may be provided on the bottom plate 110 , and the limiting protrusion 112 is brought into contact with the third side plate 140 , so as to utilize the limiting protrusion 112 to limit the position of the third side plate 140 and prevent the third side plate 140 from rotating, thereby improving the connection reliability between the third side plate 140 and the bottom plate 110 .

[0067] See also Figures 1-4 This embodiment also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, which includes a heat exchanger 300, a motor bracket 400, an inductor 200 and the above-mentioned inductor bracket 100; the inductor bracket 100 is installed between the heat exchanger 300 and the motor bracket 400, and the inductor 200 is installed on the bottom plate of the inductor bracket 100.

The inductor 200 has better heat dissipation performance, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and has a small weight. In addition, the inductor 200 is arranged close to the heat exchanger 300. When the air conditioner is heating, the heat exchanger 300 can be used to absorb the heat released by the inductor 200, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation performance of the inductor 200.

[0069] The air conditioner outdoor unit is provided with a cooling fan 500, and the inductor bracket 100 and the cooling fan 500 are arranged in the same cavity. The presence of the cooling fan 500 can accelerate the flow rate of the air flow inside the air conditioner outdoor unit, thereby accelerating the dissipation rate of the heat released by the inductor 200 and further improving the heat dissipation performance of the inductor 200; the distance between the bottom plate 110 and the top of the cooling fan 500 is set to 65 to 75 mm. Within this range, it can meet the structural requirements and reduce noise.
