Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of air conditioning waterproofing, and in particular to an air conditioning unit and an air conditioning system. Background Art

[0002] The air conditioner's electrical box is the control center of the unit, housing a variety of core control components, including the control panel. Its operational reliability is crucial to the air conditioner's lifespan. Air conditioners are typically installed outdoors in diverse environmental conditions, making rainproofing a key design consideration.

[0003] Conventional air conditioners in some related technologies have a top cover that encloses the unit. When rain falls, the top cover directs it outward. The sheet metal removal side panels are inserted from bottom to top into the top cover to prevent water from entering through the gaps.

[0004] However, the front side panels of the air conditioner need to be pushed upwards to assemble. When the design gap is large, the front side panels are easy to assemble, but the side panels need to be supported by hand to assemble the screws, which is very inconvenient for after-sales work, especially when working at heights. The need for hand support to screw in is extremely inconvenient. If the design gap is small, it is difficult to push and pull the panels together, which is also inconvenient.

[0005] In conventional air conditioners with integrated panel structures, the front and side panels can be assembled from top to bottom, simplifying installation and significantly improving after-sales assembly efficiency and reducing complexity. However, this integrated panel design inevitably leaves an assembly gap at the top of the air conditioner unit. Rainwater can enter the electrical box through this gap, affecting the reliability of the air conditioner and posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0056] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description of the exemplary embodiments is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or use. The present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure thorough and complete and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of parts and steps, the composition of materials, numerical expressions, and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as limiting.

[0057] The terms "first", "second" and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different parts. The terms "include" or "comprises" and similar terms mean that the elements before the term include the elements listed after the term, and do not exclude the possibility of also including other elements. The terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0058] In the present disclosure, when a specific device is described as being located between a first device and a second device, an intervening device may or may not be present between the specific device and the first device or the second device. When a specific device is described as being connected to another device, the specific device may be directly connected to the other device without an intervening device, or may be not directly connected to the other device but with an intervening device.

[0059] All terms (including technical or scientific terms) used in this disclosure have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in, for example, commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or highly formal sense, unless explicitly defined as such herein.

[0060] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0061] The air conditioner's electrical box is the control center of the air conditioner, housing a variety of core control components, including the control panel. Its operational reliability is crucial to the air conditioner's lifespan. Air conditioning units, including but not limited to outdoor units and integrated indoor and outdoor units, are typically installed outdoors in diverse environmental conditions. Rainproofing is a key design consideration for air conditioners.

[0062] Conventional air conditioners in some related technologies have a top cover that encloses the unit. When rainwater falls, the top cover directs it outward. The side panels are removed and processed using sheet metal processing, then inserted into the top cover from the bottom up to prevent water from entering the gaps.

[0063] However, the front side panels of the air conditioner need to be pushed upwards to assemble. When the design gap is large, the front side panels are easy to assemble, but the side panels need to be supported by hand to assemble the screws, which is very inconvenient for after-sales work, especially when working at heights. The need for hand support to screw in is extremely inconvenient. If the design gap is small, it is difficult to push and pull the panels together, which is also inconvenient.

[0064] In some related art, integrated panel air conditioners have a conventional outdoor unit with a folded front panel that connects to the exterior of the top cover, leaving a noticeable assembly gap. However, the front panel of an integrated panel air conditioner extends all the way to the top cover, where the top cover and front panel are connected at a higher position. This eliminates any visible assembly gap or connection marks on the exterior, resulting in a better overall appearance.

[0065] The front panels of air conditioners with a monolithic panel structure can be assembled from top to bottom, simplifying installation and significantly improving after-sales assembly efficiency and reducing complexity. However, this monolithic panel design inevitably leaves an assembly gap at the top of the air conditioner unit. Rainwater can enter the electrical box through this gap, affecting the air conditioner's reliability and posing a safety hazard.

[0066] In view of this, in one aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air conditioning unit is provided that can improve reliability.

[0067] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of some embodiments of the air-conditioning unit according to the present disclosure, Figure 2A This is a schematic structural diagram of some embodiments of the air-conditioning unit according to the present disclosure with the front side panels removed. Figure 2B yes Figure 2A A top view of Figure 3A This is a schematic structural diagram of some embodiments of the air-conditioning unit according to the present disclosure with the front side panels and top cover removed. Figure 3B yes Figure 3A A top view of Figure 1 The X direction is parallel to the vertical direction, the Y direction is the first direction, and the Z direction is the second direction. Figures 1 to 3B The air-conditioning unit includes a top cover 1, a mask 2, a side panel 3, a partition 4, a fan assembly 5, an electronic control assembly 6 and a waterproof structure 7.

[0068] The top cover 1 is arranged above the face mask 2 and the side panels 3, and the top cover 1 is connected to the face mask 2 and the side panels 3 respectively to enclose an installation space.

[0069] The partition 4 is disposed within the installation space and is configured to enclose an electric control cavity 41 with the side panel 3 and a fan cavity 42 with the mask 2. The partition 4 is disposed within the installation space, including but not limited to being perpendicular to the plane of the top cover 1, to divide the installation space into the electric control cavity 41 and the fan cavity 42.

[0070] The fan assembly 5 is disposed within the fan cavity 42, the electronic control assembly 6 is disposed within the electronic control cavity 41, and the waterproof structure 7 is disposed within the installation space and above the electronic control cavity 41. The waterproof structure 7 includes, but is not limited to, connections to the tops of the partition plate 4 and the side plate 3, respectively, and is in electrical communication with the fan cavity 42.

[0071] The horizontal projection of the waterproof structure 7 covers the horizontal projection area of ​​the electronic control cavity 41. The waterproof structure 7 is configured to receive rainwater and direct it out of the electronic control cavity 41, including but not limited to directing it into the fan cavity 42. The horizontal projection area of ​​the waterproof structure 7 is larger than the horizontal projection area of ​​the electronic control cavity 41, so that the waterproof structure 7 can completely cover the area where the electronic control cavity 41 is located in the vertical direction, shielding the electronic control cavity 41 and preventing rainwater from dripping onto the electronic control assembly 6.

[0072] Air conditioning units include but are not limited to outdoor units or integrated indoor and outdoor units. Rainwater, including but not limited to rainwater and condensation, is exposed to the air conditioning unit. Due to the provision of the waterproof structure 7, the air conditioning unit allows the mask 2 and side panels 3 to be assembled with the top cover 1 from top to bottom, making installation and disassembly easier, facilitating maintenance, reducing after-sales service difficulties, and enhancing the integrity of the air conditioning unit panel.

[0073] The side panel 3 includes a front side panel 31 and a side panel 32. The front side panel 31 includes but is not limited to being assembled and connected to the mask 2 in the first direction Y and is located in front of the electronic control component 6. The electronic control component 6 includes but is not limited to electronic control components such as a starting capacitor and an overload protector.

[0074] The side panels 32 are parallel to the partition 4 and perpendicular to the front panel 31. The waterproof structure 7, including but not limited to screw connections to the upper edges of the partition 4 and side panels 32, is installed above the electronic control cavity 41. The waterproof structure 7 covers the area above the electronic control cavity 41, providing a shield for the electronic control component 6 and preventing rainwater from coming into contact with it, thereby avoiding short circuits or other electrical faults caused by water ingress.

[0075] In this embodiment, a waterproof structure 7 is provided to cover the area where the electric control cavity 41 is located. The waterproof structure 7 intercepts rainwater, condensation water, etc., which can reduce the risk of rainwater invading the electric control component 6 and affecting the safe operation of the electric control component 6, improve the reliability of the operation of the air-conditioning unit, and ensure the convenience of installation of the air-conditioning unit while having a good waterproof effect.

[0076] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of the waterproof structure of the air-conditioning unit according to the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 7 includes a first water guide portion 71 , which is located below the top cover 1 and above the electronic control component 6 , and the bottom of the first water guide portion 71 is recessed downward relative to the edge of the first water guide portion 71 .

[0077] The first water guide 71 is connected to the top of the partition 4 and the top of the side panel 3, respectively, to prevent rainwater from seeping into the electronic control assembly 6 from between the partition 4 and the top cover 1. The edge of the first water guide 71 can be provided with a flange to fit over the top edge of the partition 4, further improving the sealing between the partition 4 and the first water guide 71.

[0078] The size of the first water guide portion 71 can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the air-conditioning unit. The first water guide portion 71 includes but is not limited to being in the shape of a tray with a concave bottom to form a receiving space for catching rainwater.

[0079] The edge of the first water guide part 71 passes over the partition 4 and is connected to the side of the partition 4 close to the fan cavity 42, which can more reliably cover the area where the partition 4 and the electronic control cavity 41 are located, and prevent rainwater from entering through the gap between the partition 4 and the first water guide part 71.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first water guide portion 71 can catch the water in the fan cavity 42 that is thrown out due to the rotation of the fan assembly 5 and passes over the partition 4 to hit the gap between the top cover 1 and the partition 4, thereby limiting the rainwater from entering the electric control cavity 41 through the gap, reducing the risk of rainwater seeping through the gap and contacting the electric control assembly 6, and can also guide the rainwater into the fan cavity 42 for discharge, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the operation of the electric control assembly 6 and reducing the risk of failure due to weather changes.

[0081] refer to Figure 3A to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first water guide portion 71 defines a flow guide 711 that communicates with the fan cavity. The flow guide 711 is positioned near the partition 4 and on a side away from the electronic control assembly 6. The flow guide 711 includes, but is not limited to, a location near the rear of the air conditioning unit. The flow guide 711 is recessed downward relative to the edge of the first water guide portion 71 and is configured to guide rainwater contained in the first water guide portion 71 toward the fan cavity 42.

[0082] In this embodiment, by setting the diversion port 711, the rainwater contained in the first water guide part 71 can be guided to flow toward the fan cavity 42 and be discharged. The diversion port 711 is set on the side away from the electronic control component 6, which can avoid the water discharged from the diversion port 711 from contacting the electronic control component 6, further improving the waterproof reliability of the air-conditioning unit, reducing the erosion of the electronic control component 6 by moisture, extending the service life of the electronic control component 6, and reducing corrosion and aging problems caused by moisture.

[0083] refer to Figure 3A to Figure 4 , Figure 4 Direction A is the flow direction of water in the first water guide portion 71. In some embodiments, the bottom of the first water guide portion 71 is inclined relative to the top cover 1, and the height of the bottom of the first water guide portion 71 near the diversion port 711 is lower than the height away from the diversion port 711, so as to guide the rainwater contained in the first water guide portion 71 to flow toward the diversion port 711.

[0084] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first water guide part 71 is provided with an inclination angle, which guides the rainwater accumulated in the first water guide part 71 along the slope direction of the bottom of the first water guide part 71 and moves faster to the diversion port 711, thereby increasing the drainage speed of the first water guide part 71 and reducing the risk of excessive rainwater accumulation in the first water guide part 71 and overflowing, which helps to keep the electronic control cavity 41 in a drier state, avoid failures caused by moisture, and reduce the number of maintenance times and repair costs of the system.

[0085] refer to Figure 3A to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the waterproof structure 7 further includes a waterproof edge 72 , which is disposed outside the edge of the first water guide portion 71 and protrudes upward relative to the edge of the first water guide portion 71 .

[0086] The waterproof edge 72 includes, but is not limited to, waterproof strips, baffles, and other structural forms, thereby reducing the risk of water in the first water guide 71 overflowing from the edge of the first water guide 71 and further protecting the electronic control cavity 41 from rain damage. This helps extend the service life of the air conditioner unit and ensures normal operation even in adverse weather conditions such as the rainy season.

[0087] In this embodiment, the waterproof edge 72 is higher than the edge of the first water guide part 71, and can play a protective role when the water level in the first water guide part 71 is high, reducing the risk of water overflowing from the first water guide part 71, protecting the electronic control component 6 from moisture intrusion, and further improving the waterproof reliability of the air-conditioning unit.

[0088] refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 4 The direction B is the direction of water flow in the first guide groove 731. In some embodiments, a first assembly seam 81 extending along the first direction is provided between the top cover 1 and the side plate 3.

The first guide groove 731 includes, but is not limited to, being disposed directly below the first assembly seam 81 to more accurately receive rainwater that overflows from the first assembly seam 81.

[0092] In addition, the first guide groove 731 can also receive and guide rainwater dripping from the assembly gap between the top cover 1 and the mask 2.

[0093] In this embodiment, by providing a second water guide portion 73 located below the first assembly seam 81, rainwater seeping into the first assembly seam 81 can be received and directed toward the fan cavity 42, thereby preventing rainwater from seeping into the electronic control component 6 from the first assembly seam 81 of the air-conditioning unit and causing safety hazards, reducing the risk of local water accumulation, and improving the rainproof performance of the assembly seam of the air-conditioning unit.

The fan cavity 42 is located on one side of the electronic control cavity 41 along the first direction.

[0095] In this embodiment, the first guide groove 731 is arranged parallel to the first assembly seam 81 and extends to drain in the direction close to the fan cavity 42. The first guide groove 731 is set to divert water at an angle toward the fan cavity 42. When the fan assembly 5 is not started, the water in the first guide groove 731 can also be guided to flow toward the fan cavity 42, ensuring that the first guide groove 731 can receive rainwater that penetrates the first assembly seam 81 and quickly discharge it into the fan cavity 42, thereby draining rainwater more efficiently and reliably and reducing the safety risks of the air-conditioning unit operation.

[0096] refer to Figure 2A to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the outer contour of the second water guide portion 73 is arc-shaped, and the arc surface of the second water guide portion 73 is arranged between the first assembly seam 81 and the electronic control component 6 along the first direction.

[0097] In this embodiment, the second water guide portion 73 is set to be an arc shape, which can adapt to the curvature design of the top of the air-conditioning unit mask 2 and the front side panel 31, and is conducive to alignment with the bent flange at the upper edge of the mask 2 and the front side panel 31, so that the second water guide portion 73 can be set more reliably and stably.

[0098] The arc surface of the second water guide part 73 is located between the first assembly seam 81 and the electronic control component 6 in the vertical direction. The second water guide part 73 can serve as a rain cover to cover the electronic control component 6 under the first assembly seam 81, and cooperate with the first water guide part 71 to form comprehensive and reliable waterproof protection.

[0099] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 The C direction is the water flow direction in the second guide groove 732. In some embodiments, the second water guide portion 73 also includes a second guide groove 732, which is arranged parallel to the first guide groove 731 along the arc surface of the second water guide portion 73 and is located below the first guide groove 731.

[0100] The second guide groove 732 is in communication with the fan cavity 42 and is configured to receive rainwater overflowing from the first guide groove 731 , thereby reducing the probability of electrical failure and improving the reliability and stability of the air-conditioning unit.

[0101] In this embodiment, a second guide groove 732 located below the first guide groove 731 can be provided on the second water guide portion 73. When the water level in the first guide groove 731 is high, the water flow can flow along the arc surface of the second water guide portion 73 to the second guide groove 732 and be received by the second guide groove 732, thereby preventing rainwater from continuing to spread downward to the electronic control cavity 41 and contacting the electronic control component 6.

[0102] refer to Figure 2A to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the face shield 2 is located on one side of the side panel 3 along the first direction, and a second assembly seam 82 extending vertically is defined between the face shield 2 and the side panel 3. The second guide groove 732 extends toward the second assembly seam 82 and is configured to receive rainwater that infiltrates from the second assembly seam 82 and guide the rainwater into the fan cavity 42.

[0103] The width of the second guide groove 732 and the first guide groove 731 along the second direction can be adjusted according to the assembly structure between the top cover 1 and the front side plate 31, and the top cover 1 and the mask 2, and can be selected between 3 and 5 mm to avoid the water in the fan cavity 42 being too wide and easily thrown into the first guide groove 731 or the second guide groove 732 from the assembly gap between the top cover and the partition, and to ensure sufficient diversion effect for smooth drainage.

[0104] The second guide groove 732 can be set to extend all the way to the mask 2, to receive at least part of the rainwater that penetrates into the second assembly seam 82 between the mask 2 and the side panel 3, and to prevent the rainwater from contacting the electronic control component 6 and affecting the operating safety of the air-conditioning unit.

[0105] In this embodiment, the second guide groove 732 is provided to receive and guide rainwater at the second assembly seam 82 between the mask 2 and the side panel 3, thereby forming comprehensive rain protection around the electronic control component 6.
