DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0030] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the corresponding data protection laws and policies of the country where they are located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a housing assembly suitable for an air conditioner outdoor unit. The housing assembly may include a top panel 1, a first front panel 2 for covering a fan cavity 100, a second front panel 3 for covering a compressor cavity 200, and a first side panel 4 proximate to the second front panel 3. A water guide structure 11 is provided on the top panel 1, at least at a position corresponding to the second front panel 3. The water guide structure 11 is capable of directing water toward the fan cavity 100 and / or the first side panel 4.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "up, down, left, right, front, and back" used here refer to the air conditioner outdoor unit when it is installed and in use. The housing assembly typically forms a relatively enclosed space to house the internal components. In addition to the aforementioned top panel 1, first front panel 2, second front panel 3, and first side panel 4, it may also include a second side panel 6 near the first front panel 2, a bottom support panel, and a rear panel.

[0033] The fan chamber 100 houses the fan, while the compressor chamber 200 houses the compressor and electronic components, such as the electronic control system. Considering the harsh operating environment of the fan, which can adversely affect the compressor and electronic components, the fan and compressor are typically housed in separate chambers. The air conditioner's outdoor unit is typically exposed to the outdoors. For example, in the event of rain, the housing assembly must prevent rainwater from entering the housing assembly.

[0034] Compared with the fan, the compressor and electronic components are more susceptible to damage by rain. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a water-guiding structure 11 at a position of the top panel 1 at least corresponding to the second front panel 3, that is, the second front panel 3 provides a water-guiding structure 11 at least at a position corresponding to the compressor cavity 200. The water-guiding structure 11 can guide water toward the fan cavity 100 and / or the first side panel 4. Among them, the fan is less affected by rain, so even if some rainwater is guided to the fan cavity 100, it will not affect the normal operation of the fan, and the rainwater guided to the first side panel 4 can directly remain along the board surface of the first side panel 4, thereby preventing the rainwater from flowing into the compressor cavity 200.

[0035] Furthermore, because the top panel 1 is disposed on the top of the housing assembly, rainwater is first blocked by the top panel 1 during its fall. When some rainwater flows forward, the water guide structure 11 is able to direct the water toward the fan chamber 100 and / or the first side panel 4. In other words, the water guide structure 11 disposed on the top panel 1 is able to contact and divert rainwater earlier than panels located elsewhere, further reducing the risk of rainwater flowing into the compressor chamber 200.

[0036] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: the housing assembly provided by the present disclosure is provided with a water guide structure 11 at a position of the top panel 1 at least corresponding to the second front panel 3. The water guide structure 11 can guide water toward the fan chamber 100 and / or the first side panel 4, thereby preventing water from directly flowing into the compressor chamber 200 and causing damage to the compressor and electronic components. Since the fan chamber 100 has lower requirements for waterproof performance than the compressor chamber 200, even if water flows into the fan chamber 100, the impact on the fan is relatively small. At the same time, water flowing into the first side panel 4 can be stopped by the plate surface of the first side panel 4 and will not flow into the compressor chamber 200, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the air conditioner outdoor unit and helping to extend the service life of the air conditioner outdoor unit. In addition, since rainwater drips from top to bottom, the water guide structure 11 is provided on the top panel 1, which enables the water guide structure 11 to contact the rainwater earlier and drain the rainwater, thereby reducing the risk of rainwater flowing into the compressor chamber 200.

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the front end surface of the top panel 1 is flush with or shorter than the front side surface of the second front panel 3. This design is different from the related art, which is usually designed to design the top panel 1 to extend beyond the front side panel in order to prevent rainwater from flowing into the compressor chamber 200. Although the related art can achieve a waterproof effect, the defects are also quite obvious. On the one hand, it increases the floor space of the air conditioner outdoor unit. On the other hand, considering that the second front panel 3 is detachable for easy maintenance of the compressor and electronic components, the top panel 1 extends beyond the front panel, making it difficult to remove the second front panel 3 without removing the top panel 1. In addition, the second front panel 3 in the related art is usually installed from bottom to top.

[0038] Because the front end surface of the top panel 1 in the housing assembly provided by the present disclosure is flush with or shorter than the front side surface of the second front panel 3, the top panel 1 does not block the second front panel 3. This allows the second front panel 3 to be assembled from top to bottom, and during maintenance, there is no need to remove the top panel 1 in advance, making operation more convenient. The first front panel 2 and the first side panel 4 are each provided with a mounting structure that cooperates with the second front panel 3 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the second front panel 3.

[0039] Also refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The front bottom of the compressor chamber 200 may be provided with a first stopper 210. The first stopper 210 may be, for example, a baffle at the front bottom. The bottom of the second front panel 3 may be provided with a second stopper 34. The second stopper 34 may cooperate with the first stopper 210 to limit the vertical installation position of the second front panel 3. For example, the second stopper 34 may be a flange structure that can be retained by the first stopper 210 when the second front panel 3 is installed from top to bottom, thereby confining the second front panel 3 to a predetermined installation position. The second stopper 34 may be formed by, for example, first bending upward and then bending inward from the bottom of the second front panel 3.

[0040] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, reference can be made to Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The top panel 1 is provided with an upwardly bent first flange 111 at a position corresponding to the second front panel 3. The groove between the first flange 111 and the front end of the top panel 1 forms a water guide structure 11. The water guide structure 11 extends in the left-right direction when the housing assembly is installed and in use. The two ends of the water guide structure 11 extend to positions corresponding to the fan cavity 100 and the first side panel 4, respectively. The second front panel 3 is provided with a downwardly bent second flange 31, which is attached to the water guide structure 11. Even if there is an installation gap between the first flange 111 and the second flange 31, rainwater that penetrates will flow away along the water guide structure 11.

[0041] The mounting structure of the second front panel 3 and the first front panel 2 and the first side panel 4 will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the side of the first front panel 2 is provided with a matching part 21 for connecting with the side of the second front panel 3, and the side of the second front panel 3 is provided with a first buckle 32, the matching part 21 is provided with a first slot 211 matched with the first buckle 32, and the position of the first slot 211 corresponds to the fan cavity 100. The matching part 21 may, for example, be a matching edge extending laterally from the side of the first side panel 2 towards the second front panel 3, the matching edge being slightly thinner than the thickness of the first front panel 2 and being able to cover the matching part 210 after the second front panel 3 is installed. The matching part 21 can be provided with a plurality of first slots 211 along the up-down direction, and correspondingly, the first buckle 32 on the second front panel 3 can also be provided with a plurality of first slots 211. Since the first slot 211 is in communication with the fan cavity 100, even if some rainwater seeps in through the installation gap between the first front panel 2 and the second front panel 3, this part of rainwater will enter the fan cavity 100 from the first slot 211, and the fan cavity 100 will be less affected by the rainwater.

[0043] With reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in other embodiments, the housing assembly can further include a partition plate 5 for separating the internal space of the housing assembly into the fan cavity 100 and the compressor cavity 200, wherein the partition plate 5 is provided with a connecting structure 51 for connecting with the first front panel 2, and the connecting structure 51 is formed as a passage in communication with the fan cavity 100, and the first slot 211 is in communication with the passage. That is, the partition plate 5 simultaneously plays the role of separating the internal space of the housing assembly and installing the first front panel 2. Considering that some rainwater may seep in from the installation gap between the first front panel 2 and the second front panel 3, at this time the passage formed by the connecting structure 51 can play the role of isolating the rainwater from the compressor cavity 200 and guiding the rainwater to the fan cavity 100. At the same time, the first slot 211 is in communication with the passage, so that the rainwater that seeps in through the installation gap between the first front panel 2 and the second front panel 3 can enter the passage formed by the connecting structure 51 through the first slot 211, and then be guided into the fan cavity 100.

[0044] Among them, the connection structure 51 can include a first rib 511 bent from the front end of the middle partition 5 toward the compressor cavity 200, a connecting edge 512 bent toward the front side of the shell assembly, and a second rib 513 bent from the connecting edge 512 toward the fan cavity 100, and the second rib 513 is provided with a first mounting hole 514 for detachably mating with the first front panel 2. From the cross-sectional shape, the connection structure 51 can be constructed into a C-shape, with the enclosed space serving as a channel, open toward the fan cavity 100 side. The first rib 511 and the connecting edge 512 serve to isolate the compressor cavity 200, and the second rib 513 is used to connect to the first front panel 2. The connection structure 51 with multiple ribs can be formed by bending the middle partition 5 multiple times.

[0045] In other embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second front panel 3 can be detachably connected to the first side panel 4 on the side of the housing assembly via threaded fasteners. Different from the related art where threaded fasteners are set on the front panel, threaded fasteners are set on the side panels, making the whole machine more neat and beautiful.

[0046] Continue to refer Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 A second clip 33 is provided on the side of the second front panel 3, located on the side opposite the first clip 32. The first side panel 4 includes a side panel body 41 located on the side of the housing assembly and a mounting portion 42 bent onto the front side of the housing assembly. The side panel body 41 is provided with a second slot 421 for mating with the second clip 33, and the mounting portion 42 is provided with a second mounting hole 411 corresponding to the second slot 421 for a threaded fastener to pass through. After the second clip 33 is inserted into the second slot 421, the second front panel 3 and the first side panel 4 are fixedly connected from the side using the threaded fastener.

[0047] In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiment of the installation and matching of the second front panel 3 and the first front panel 2, the second front panel 3 and the first front panel 2 do not need to be fixedly connected. The first clip 32 can be inserted into the first slot 211, and the first front panel 2 is fixedly connected via the middle partition 5. The second front panel 3 is connected to the first side panel 4 using threaded fasteners. In this way, the second front panel 3 can be removed from the housing assembly by simply removing the threaded fasteners on the first side panel 4, which is more convenient.

[0048] Furthermore, the mounting portion 42 may be provided with a recessed groove 412, and the second mounting hole 411 is provided in the recessed groove 412. By providing the recessed groove 412, the threaded fastener does not protrude from the surface of the first side panel 4 after being tightened, further improving the neatness and aesthetics of the entire machine.

[0049] According to the second aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, there is also provided an air-lifting external machine, comprising any one of the above-mentioned shell components and having all the beneficial effects thereof, which will not be described in detail here.
