Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner outdoor unit technology, and in particular to a drainage structure for the chassis of an air conditioner outdoor unit. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of the drainage structure on the outdoor unit chassis of an air conditioner is to promptly remove accumulated water. This prevents excessive water buildup from causing rust and corrosion of components, extending the equipment's lifespan. It also prevents the growth of bacteria and mold from accumulated water, ensuring a healthy and hygienic operating environment for the air conditioner. Furthermore, it reduces the risk of electrical short circuits and other safety hazards caused by water accumulation, ensuring stable and efficient operation of the air conditioner.

[0003] However, the drainage channel design of existing air conditioner outdoor unit chassis is often too simple or has unreasonable bends and narrow parts, causing water to accumulate in certain areas and form stagnant pools that are difficult to drain effectively. At the same time, the drain outlet may be set too high or easily blocked by debris, causing some water to stagnate. In addition, the lack of effective auxiliary drainage facilities makes it impossible to clean water from all corners of the chassis, resulting in the internal water not being completely drained. Long-term water accumulation can easily cause corrosion and rust on the chassis, affecting the service life and performance stability of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a drainage structure for the chassis of an air conditioner outdoor unit to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a drainage structure for an outdoor unit chassis of an air conditioner, comprising: a support plate 1 and a fixing plate 2 placed on top of the support plate 1;

[0036] Support component 4 is placed on top of fixed plate 2. Support component 4 includes support pad 41 fixed on top of fixed plate 2. A connecting pad 42 is provided on the top of support pad 41. A water blocking plate 44 is provided on the other side of support pad 41. A first guide groove 43 is provided on the water blocking plate 44. Support pad 41 supports and is fixed on fixed plate 2. Its connecting pad 42 can connect to the upper component to enhance stability. When there is water, the water blocking plate 44 blocks the spread of water flow. The water flow is guided in an orderly manner through the first guide groove 43, so that the water flows along a preset path to avoid turbulence and ensure the normal operation of the drainage structure.

[0037] The water guiding component 5 is located on the top of the fixed plate 2 away from the support component 4. The water guiding component 5 includes a second water guiding plate 51 fixed on the top of the fixed plate 2. The second water guiding plate 51 has a first drain hole 52 inside. A third water guiding groove 53 is opened between the first drain holes 52. When working, the second water guiding plate 51 collects and gathers the accumulated water. The accumulated water is quickly discharged through the first drain holes 52. The third water guiding groove 53 between the first drain holes 52 can further guide the water flow, avoid drainage blockage, and promote the water flow to pass through the water guiding component 5 more smoothly and discharge, thereby improving drainage efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown: A first water guide groove 7 is provided on the side of the fixed plate 2 away from the support component 4. The first water guide groove 7 is provided with second drain holes 8 inside. The first water guide groove 7 is provided on the fixed plate 2 away from the support component 4, and the second drain holes 8 are evenly distributed inside. When there is water accumulation, the water flows through the first water guide groove 7 and gathers, and then is quickly discharged through the second drain holes 8 to ensure that the chassis is dry.

[0039] The above solutions also have the problem of equipment fixation, such as... Figure 4 As shown: In this solution, a positioning component 3 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 1. The positioning component 3 includes a positioning plate 31 fixed to the bottom of the support plate 1. Both ends of the positioning plate 31 are provided with fixing slots 32, and the bottom of the positioning plate 31 is provided with a support slot 33. A damping spring 34 is provided inside the support slot 33, and a connecting plate 35 is provided at the bottom of the damping spring 34. During installation, the fixing slots 32 at both ends of the positioning plate 31 cooperate with the external structure for positioning. The damping spring 34 and the connecting plate 35 inside the support slot 33 can buffer vibration and impact, so that the chassis of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner remains stable during operation and reduces displacement and shaking.

[0040] The above solutions also have the problem of water flow guidance, such as... Figure 3As shown: In this solution, both sides of the top of the fixed plate 2 are provided with connecting components 6. The connecting components 6 include connecting slots 61. The bottom of the fixed plate 2 away from the connecting slots 61 is provided with a second guide slot 62. The side of the support plate 1 near the connecting slots 61 is provided with a third water guide plate 63. The connecting slots 61 are used for precise docking with other components to ensure a stable connection. The second guide slot 62 at the bottom of the fixed plate 2 and the third water guide plate 63 of the support plate 1 cooperate with each other to guide the direction of water flow, so that the accumulated water can flow in an orderly manner, effectively improving drainage efficiency and overall structural stability.

[0041] Working principle: such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, in the support assembly 4, the support pad 41 is tightly supported and fixed on the fixed plate 2, providing a solid support foundation for the upper component. The connecting pad 42 is used to connect the upper component. This connection method greatly enhances the stability of the entire structure and makes the components tightly connected. When there is water, the water-blocking plate 44 plays a key role. It can effectively prevent the water flow from spreading. The water flow will flow orderly along the first guide groove 43 on the water-blocking plate 44 and travel along the preset path, effectively avoiding turbulence and thus ensuring the normal operation of the drainage structure.

[0042] When the second water guide plate 51 of the water guide assembly 5 is working, it actively collects and gathers the water accumulated on the chassis. The water is then quickly discharged through the first drain hole 52. The third water guide groove 53 between the first drain holes 52 can further guide the water flow, prevent blockage during the drainage process, and enable the water to flow more smoothly through the water guide assembly 5, which significantly improves the drainage efficiency.

[0043] The fixing plate 2 is provided with a first water guide groove 7 away from the support component 4. The second drain holes 8 are evenly distributed inside the groove. When water accumulates, the water first gathers in the first water guide groove 7 and then is quickly discharged through the second drain holes 8. The second water guide groove 10 on one side drains the accumulated water, ensuring that the chassis is always dry. The third drain hole 9 at the other end of the fixing plate 2 can directly drain the accumulated water, effectively preventing the chassis from accumulating too much water.

[0044] During installation, the positioning plate 31 of the positioning component 3 has fixed slots 32 at both ends that precisely match the external structure for positioning. The damping spring 34 and connecting plate 35 in the support slot 33 can buffer vibration and impact, keeping the outdoor unit chassis of the air conditioner stable during operation and greatly reducing displacement and shaking. The connecting slot 61 of the connecting component 6 is used for precise docking with other components to ensure a stable connection. The second guide slot 62 at the bottom of the fixing plate 2 and the third water guide plate 63 of the support plate 1 cooperate with each other to guide the direction of water flow, so that the accumulated water can flow in an orderly manner, which not only improves drainage efficiency but also enhances the overall structural stability. The first water guide plate 11 at the top of the support plate 1 guides the water flow outward to discharge, thus perfecting the entire drainage process.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
