[0036] Air conditioner outdoor units are typically equipped with an air outlet grille. Its primary function is to protect the unit, preventing dust and debris from entering the air conditioner, ensuring proper air circulation, and reducing damage from rain, frost, and sunlight, thereby reducing corrosion and extending the air conditioner's service life. However, most existing grilles block the airflow from the outdoor unit, reducing circulating air volume and impairing heat exchange. Furthermore, airflow passing through the grille generates noise, impacting the air conditioner's performance.

[0037] Based on this, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mesh cover 100 provided in the embodiments of the present invention can effectively alleviate the aforementioned technical problems. The mesh cover 100 can reduce the airflow resistance of the air hood, improve the heat dissipation effect, and thus enhance the heat exchange effect of the outdoor unit. The mesh cover 100 can be applied to devices such as the mesh cover assembly 1000 and air conditioners. Any device having the same structure as the mesh cover 100 will have the same functions as described above, and no further details will be given here.

[0038] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment includes a mesh cover 100 or a mesh cover assembly 1000. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, and the outdoor unit is provided with a mesh cover 100 or a mesh cover assembly 1000. Of course, the air conditioner can also be provided with other structural members according to specific usage functions, which are not limited here.

[0039] The mesh cover assembly 1000 is introduced in detail below.

[0040] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a mesh cover assembly 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a second viewing angle of the mesh cover 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the air deflector 200 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5In order to quickly and conveniently disassemble and install the mesh cover 100, the mesh cover assembly 1000 in this embodiment includes an air deflector 200 and the mesh cover 100, and the frame 110 is snap-fitted to the air deflector 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 110 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​structures 113, and the air deflector 200 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​grooves 210. The plurality of snap-fit ​​structures 113 and the plurality of snap-fit ​​grooves 210 are snap-fitted in a one-to-one correspondence. Of course, a plurality of snap-fit ​​grooves 210 may also be provided on the frame 110, and a plurality of snap-fit ​​structures 113 may be provided on the air deflector 200. In detail, each snap-fit ​​structure 113 in this embodiment includes a connecting portion and a holding portion. The connecting portion is connected to the frame 110, and the holding portion is connected to the connecting portion. There is a gap between the connecting portion and the frame 110, and the gap is used to cooperate with the snap-fit ​​groove 210. That is, during installation, the mesh cover 100 is first rotated to a certain angle, and after the snap-fit ​​structure 113 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 210 through the gap, the mesh cover 100 is then rotated back, and the retaining portion snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 210 to secure the mesh cover 100 and the air deflector 200. The snap-fit ​​groove 210 in this embodiment is square. Of course, the snap-fit ​​groove 210 can also be designed as a circle or other shape, and the snap-fit ​​structure 113 can be changed in shape and structure accordingly, which is not limited here. In addition, the snap-fit ​​structure 113 can also be designed as other structural forms, as long as it can achieve the snap-fit ​​connection between the frame 110 and the air deflector 200, which is not limited here. In addition, in addition to being connected by snap-fitting, the frame 110 and the air deflector 200 can also be connected by a detachable connection method such as a threaded connection, which can also achieve quick disassembly and assembly of the mesh cover 100.

[0041] In order to make the connection between the mesh cover 100 and the wind guide plate 200 more stable, the frame 110 in this embodiment is provided with a threaded hole 112, and the wind guide plate 200 is provided with a corresponding mounting hole. Threaded fasteners such as bolts and screws are sequentially passed through the threaded hole 112 and the mounting hole to strengthen the fixation of the mesh cover 100 and the wind guide plate 200.

[0042] In addition, in order to protect screws and other threaded fasteners from external corrosion, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the first viewing angle of the mesh cover 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 2 In this embodiment, the mesh cover 100 further includes a screw cover 160. The frame 110 has a threaded hole 112, and the screw cover 160 is located at the threaded hole 112. The screw cover 160 is detachably connected to the frame 110. Specifically, the screw cover 160 is snap-fitted to the frame 110. To facilitate the removal and installation of the screw cover 160, the frame 110 is provided with an opening. Of course, the screw cover 160 can also be detachably connected to the frame 110 using a hinged connection or other similar method, which is not limited here.

[0043] The mesh cover 100 in the mesh cover assembly 1000 is described in detail below.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the mesh cover 100 includes a frame 110, a central support member 120, a plurality of first air guide bars 130, a plurality of second air guide bars 140, and a plurality of third air guide bars 150. The plurality of first air guide bars 130 are arranged at intervals, with one end of each first air guide bar 130 connected to the frame 110 and the other end of each first air guide bar 130 connected to the central support member 120. Each second air guide bar 140 is an annular structure, and the plurality of second air guide bars 140 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the first air guide bars 130. The plurality of third air guide bars 150 are located between the central support member 120 and the frame 110 and connected to the plurality of second air guide bars 140. The length of each third air guide bar 150 is shorter than that of the first air guide bar 130, and the plurality of first air guide bars 130 and the plurality of third air guide bars 150 are staggered. By arranging multiple first air guide strips 130 and multiple second air guide strips 140 in the above-described design, multiple small air outlets can be formed, facilitating air discharge from the mesh cover 100 while also preventing foreign objects, such as small animals and leaves, from entering the air conditioner. By adding third air guide strips 150 and staggering multiple first air guide strips 130 and multiple third air guide strips 150, the distribution of the multiple small air outlets can be adjusted, effectively reducing the air discharge resistance of the mesh cover 100 and allowing the air to blow further, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the mesh cover 100 and, in turn, the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner's outdoor unit.

[0045] The shape of the frame 110 can be circular, square, rectangular, etc. Correspondingly, the shape of the second air guide strip 140 can be circular, square, rectangular, etc., depending on the actual installation situation and is not limited here. In this embodiment, the shape of the frame 110 is circular, the shape of the second air guide strip 140 is circular, and the nature of the middle support member 120 is cylindrical. In addition, the spacing between two adjacent second air guide strips 140 in this embodiment is b, and the value range of b is 2mm to 5mm. Of course, the spacing b between the second air guide strips 140 can also be other values, depending on the actual wind output situation and the foreign body prevention situation, and is not limited here.

[0046] In order to further reduce the wind resistance of the mesh cover 100 and reduce the wind noise of the air cover, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the third viewing angle of the mesh cover 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 4In this embodiment, each first air guide strip 130 is arranged at an angle to the plurality of second air guide strips 140, and / or each third air guide strip 150 is arranged at an angle to the plurality of second air guide strips 140. Specifically, in this embodiment, each first air guide strip 130 and the second air guide strip 140 are arranged at an angle a, and each third air guide strip 150 and the second air guide strip 140 are also arranged at an angle a. The angle a in this embodiment is an acute angle, and the value range of a is 30° to 45°. Of course, the angle a can also be other values, such as 25°, 27°, etc., which are not limited here. Moreover, the edges of the windward ends of each first air guide strip 130, each second air guide strip 140, and each third air guide strip 150 are all rounded, that is, the surfaces of all air guide strips are smooth and finished, with natural tangent transitions, and no unnecessary obstructions at the corners. This reduces the air outlet resistance of the mesh cover 100.

[0047] Please continue reading Figure 4 In order to further reduce the wind resistance of the mesh cover 100, each first air guide strip 130 in this embodiment is an arc strip extending from high to low along the direction from the middle support member 120 to the frame 110.

[0048] Due to external factors, when the mesh cover 100 encounters water, the water attached to the mesh cover 100 flows from top to bottom along the wind deflector 200, and easily gathers at the bottom. Figure 3 To prevent water from accumulating in the grille 100 and thereby affecting the performance of the air conditioner connected to it, the frame 110 of this embodiment is provided with at least one drain opening 111. During installation, drain opening 111 is positioned at the bottom, allowing any water adhering to the grille 100 to drain away through drain opening 111, preventing water from accumulating between the grille 100 and the air deflector 200 and ensuring prompt drainage. Specifically, two drain openings 111 are provided in this embodiment, spaced apart. During installation, both drain openings 111 are located at the bottom of the grille 100. The number of drain openings 111 is determined based on practical needs and is not limited herein.

[0049] In order to enhance the overall structural strength of the grille 100, please refer to Figure 3 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mesh cover 100 in this embodiment further includes a plurality of blades 170. One end of each blade 170 is connected to the central support member 120, and the other end of each blade 170 is connected to the frame 110. The blades 170 are spaced apart and each blade 170 is shaped like a three-dimensional diamond. Furthermore, by designing the blades 170 as a three-dimensional diamond, the overall structural strength of the mesh cover 100 is enhanced while also improving its appearance.

[0050] To ensure the structural strength and improve the heat resistance of the mesh cover 100, the mesh cover 100 in this embodiment is made of weather-resistant PP material, which can withstand low-temperature shocks of up to -40°C. This allows the air conditioner outdoor unit to operate more effectively in extremely cold regions and makes the mesh cover 100 more durable. Of course, the mesh cover 100 can also be made of other low-temperature-resistant materials or materials with high structural strength, and this is not limited here.

[0051] In summary, the mesh cover 100 includes a frame 110, a central support member 120, a plurality of first air guide bars 130, a plurality of second air guide bars 140, and a plurality of third air guide bars 150. The plurality of first air guide bars 130 are arranged at intervals, with one end of each first air guide bar 130 connected to the frame 110 and the other end of each first air guide bar 130 connected to the central support member 120. Each second air guide bar 140 is an annular structure, and the plurality of second air guide bars 140 are evenly spaced along the length of the first air guide bars 130. The plurality of third air guide bars 150 are located between the central support member 120 and the frame 110 and connected to the plurality of second air guide bars 140. The length of each third air guide bar 150 is shorter than that of the first air guide bar 130, and the plurality of first air guide bars 130 and the plurality of third air guide bars 150 are staggered. By arranging multiple first air guide strips 130 and multiple second air guide strips 140 in the above-described design, multiple small air outlets can be formed, facilitating air discharge from the mesh cover 100 while also preventing foreign objects, such as small animals and leaves, from entering the air conditioner. By adding third air guide strips 150 and staggering multiple first air guide strips 130 and multiple third air guide strips 150, the distribution of the multiple small air outlets can be changed, effectively reducing the air discharge resistance of the mesh cover 100 and allowing the air to blow further, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the mesh cover 100 and, in turn, the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner's outdoor unit.

[0052] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
