[0002] An air conditioner, or air conditioner, consists of four parts: a refrigeration (heating) circulation system, an air circulation and ventilation system, an electrical control system, and a housing. It is a small air conditioning unit that maintains a certain temperature, humidity, airflow speed, cleanliness, and freshness of the air in the regulated space. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is responsible for cooling or heating, while the indoor unit is responsible for delivering cool or warm air into the room and transporting the warm or cool air from the room to the outside through ducts to achieve the effect of cooling or heating.
[0003] Existing air conditioner outdoor unit front panels typically have ventilation holes for cooling the internal refrigeration components. However, air conditioner outdoor units are generally exposed to the outdoor environment for extended periods, resulting in a significant accumulation of dust and impurities within the air guide grille of the front panel. Since the existing air conditioner outdoor unit front panel and grille are usually integrated, cleaning is inconvenient, and the front panel must be disassembled to inspect or repair the internal components. Therefore, a new type of air conditioner outdoor unit front panel is proposed. Utility Model Content
