[0033] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit 100. The indoor unit and the outdoor unit 100 are connected by a heat exchange pipe.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outdoor unit 100 includes an outdoor unit body 110 and an eaves structure 130. A mesh cover 113 for air intake is provided on the front of the outdoor unit body 110. The eaves structure 130 is disposed on the outdoor unit body 110 and located above the mesh cover 113, protruding towards the front of the outdoor unit body 110 to cover the mesh cover 113.

[0036] In this embodiment, an eaves structure 130 is provided on the outdoor unit 100 and positioned above the mesh cover 113. The eaves structure 130 protrudes towards the front of the outdoor unit body 110. In this way, the eaves structure 130 can provide shade above the mesh cover 113 to prevent the mesh cover 113 from being exposed to the sun, thereby improving the service life of the mesh cover 113 and thus improving the service life of the outdoor unit 100.

[0037] Normally, the front of the outdoor unit body 110 is a metal front panel 115, which has an air inlet and a mesh cover 113 is installed at the air inlet.

[0038] Furthermore, the outdoor unit body 110 has a top cover plate 111, and the eaves structure 130 protrudes from the top cover plate 111 on one side of the front of the outdoor unit body 110 and corresponds to the mesh cover 113.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the eaves structure 130 is set on one side of the top cover plate 111 located on the front of the outdoor unit body 110, which facilitates the installation of the eaves structure 130. At the same time, this arrangement can also provide better shading.

[0040] Furthermore, the grille 113 protrudes at least partially from the front of the outdoor unit body 110. The projection of the portion of the grille 113 protruding from the front of the outdoor unit 100 onto the top surface of the top cover 111 is included within the projection of the eaves structure 130 onto the top surface of the top cover 111.

[0041] In this embodiment, the projection of the portion of the mesh cover 113 protruding from the front of the outdoor unit 100 onto the top surface of the top cover plate 111 is included within the projection of the eaves structure 130 onto the top surface of the top cover plate 111, thus allowing the eaves structure 130 to better shade the mesh cover 113.

[0042] The projection of the portion of the mesh cover 113 protruding from the front of the outdoor unit 100 onto the top surface of the top cover plate 111 is included within the projection of the eaves structure 130 onto the top surface of the top cover plate 111. This can be understood as, from the top view of the outdoor unit 100, the eaves structure 130 completely obscures the top of the mesh cover 113, and the mesh cover 113 is not visible.

[0043] Specifically, the length of the eaves structure 130 is less than the length of the main body of the top cover plate 111.

[0044] In this embodiment, the length of the eaves structure 130 is set to be less than the length of the main body of the top cover plate 111, so that the light can be blocked for the net cover 113 and materials can be saved.

[0045] Generally, the mesh cover 113 is located on the left side of the outdoor unit 100, corresponding to the fan cavity area. The right side of the outdoor unit 100 is the compressor cavity, which is covered by the panel. The roof structure 130 only needs to cover the area above the mesh cover 113.

[0046] Of course, in some other embodiments of this application, the length of the eaves structure 130 may also be set to be the same as the length of the indoor unit.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the mesh cover 113 has a first side and a second side along the length of the outdoor unit body 110. Along the length of the outdoor unit 100, one end of the eaves structure 130 corresponds to the first side, and the other end corresponds to the second side.

[0048] In this embodiment, one end of the eaves structure 130 corresponds to the first side of the net cover 113, and the other end corresponds to the second side of the net cover 113. This allows for better shading while saving materials.

[0049] Specifically, the correspondence can be that the two are aligned, or that the end of the eaves structure 130 extends slightly.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the structure of the mesh cover 113 can be generally rectangular, where the first side and the second side refer to the left and right sides of the mesh cover 113. When the structure of the mesh cover 113 is circular, the first side and the second side can be the two endpoints of a horizontal diameter.

[0051] In this embodiment, the width of the eaves structure 130 is greater than the height of the mesh cover 113 protruding from the front of the outdoor unit 100.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the width of the eaves structure 130 is set to be greater than the height of the mesh cover 113 protruding from the front of the outdoor unit 100, so that shading can be achieved better.

[0053] In some embodiments, the width of the eaves structure 130 can be set to 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, or even wider.

[0054] In this embodiment, the eaves structure 130 and the top cover plate 111 are integrally formed.

[0055] In this embodiment, the eaves structure 130 and the top cover plate 111 are integrally formed, which facilitates manufacturing and assembly.

[0056] Specifically, the top cover plate 111 and the eaves structure 130 are integrally formed using the same stamping process. The entire structure is made of iron.

[0057] Of course, in some other embodiments of this application, the eaves structure 130 can also be separately formed and assembled on the front of the outdoor unit 100.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the top cover plate 111 and the eaves structure 130 are provided with downward-turned edges 131 around their perimeters.

[0059] This embodiment improves the overall structural strength of the top cover plate 111 and the eaves structure 130 by setting a downward flange 131.

[0060] Furthermore, the top cover plate 111 is provided with reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs can improve the strength of the top cover plate 111.

[0061] Secondly, in some other embodiments of this application, the eaves structure 130 may also be provided with reinforcing ribs to enhance mechanical strength.

[0062] In summary, the outdoor unit 100 and air conditioner provided in this embodiment provide an eaves structure 130 on the outdoor unit 100, with the eaves structure 130 positioned above the mesh cover 113. The eaves structure 130 protrudes towards the front of the outdoor unit body 110, thus providing shade above the mesh cover 113 and preventing it from being exposed to direct sunlight. This improves the service life of the mesh cover 113 and consequently, the service life of the outdoor unit 100.
