[0030] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an outdoor unit 100 for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 1, an electrical control box 2, an electrical control board 3, and an air guide 4. The housing 1 includes: a housing body 11 and a top cover 12, and an exhaust duct is formed inside the housing 1. The top cover 12 is disposed on the top of the housing body 11, and the top cover 12 has an external exhaust port 121 communicating with the exhaust duct. The electrical control box 2 is installed on the housing body 11, and the electrical control box 2, the housing body 11, and the top cover 12 define a receiving cavity 6. The 6 has an air inlet 211 and an air outlet, which are spaced apart along the first direction F1. The air outlet is located on the housing body 11 and is connected to the exhaust duct. The electronic control board 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 6 and a heat sink 31 is provided on the electronic control board 3. The air guide 4 is connected to the housing body 11 and located in the receiving cavity 6. An air guide channel is formed in the air guide 4. One end of the air guide channel is connected to the air outlet and the other end forms an inlet 41 that opens towards the heat sink 31.

[0032] This allows the airflow to be concentrated through the radiator 31, improving the utilization rate of the air volume and increasing the stability of the airflow. This is beneficial for increasing the circulation efficiency of the airflow, so that the radiator 31 can come into contact with more airflow per unit time, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31 and thus improving the working stability of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0033] First, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner includes: a housing 1, which is installed in the outdoor space. The housing 1 includes a housing body 11 and a top cover 12. An exhaust duct is formed inside the housing body 11. The top cover 12 is located on the top of the housing body 11 and has an exhaust vent 121. The exhaust vent 121 is connected to the exhaust duct. The air conditioner can draw indoor air into the exhaust duct and discharge it to the outdoor space through the exhaust vent 121.

[0034] The outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes an electrical control box 2, an electrical control board 3, and an air guide 4. The electrical control box 2 is installed on the outer side wall of the housing body 11. The top cover 12 protrudes from the side of the housing body 11 facing the electrical control box 2. The top cover 12, the housing body 11, and the electrical control box 2 can jointly define a receiving cavity 6. The receiving cavity 6 has an air inlet 211 and an air outlet. The air inlet 211 and the air outlet are spaced apart along the first direction F1. The air outlet is located on the housing body 11 and is connected to the exhaust duct. The air inlet 211 is located on the electrical control box 2 and is connected to the outdoor space.

[0035] The control board 3 is installed inside the housing cavity 6, and the control board 3 is provided with a heat sink 31, which can be constructed as heat dissipation fins. The air guide 4 is connected to the housing body 11 and is located inside the housing cavity 6. An air guide channel is formed inside the air guide 4. One end of the air guide channel is connected to the air outlet, and the other end forms an inlet 41, which is open towards the heat sink 31.

[0036] Specifically, when the air conditioner starts operating, indoor air can flow into the exhaust duct and be discharged to the outdoor space through the exhaust port 121. At this time, a negative pressure is formed in the receiving cavity 6. Under the action of the negative pressure, outdoor air can flow into the receiving cavity 6 from the air inlet 211. The outdoor air in the receiving cavity 6 can flow through the radiator 31 and flow into the air guide channel from the inlet 41. When the outdoor air flows through the radiator 31, it can exchange heat with the radiator 31 to cool down the electronic control board 3. The outdoor air flowing into the air guide channel can flow along the air guide channel to flow into the exhaust duct from the air outlet. Then, the outdoor air can flow together with the indoor air in the exhaust duct to be discharged to the outdoor space from the exhaust port 121.

[0037] With the above settings, the air guide 4 can be used to guide the airflow so that the airflow can flow unidirectionally into the air outlet along the air guide channel. The inlet 41 is opposite to the radiator 31, so that the airflow can flow through the radiator 31 in a concentrated manner, which improves the utilization rate of air volume. In addition, the air guide 4 can make the flow stability of the airflow when it flows out of the air outlet higher, which is conducive to increasing the circulation efficiency of the airflow, so that the radiator 31 can come into contact with more airflow per unit time, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31, thereby reducing the operating temperature of the electronic control board 3.

[0038] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is provided with an air guide 4 in the accommodating cavity 6, and the inlet 41 of the air guide channel is open to the radiator 31, so that the airflow can be concentrated and flow through the radiator 31, which improves the utilization rate of air volume and can make the airflow flow stability higher, which is conducive to increasing the airflow circulation efficiency, so that the radiator 31 can come into contact with more airflow per unit time, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31, thereby improving the working stability of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the first direction F1 can be set to the up-down direction, and the air outlet can be positioned above the air inlet 211. It is understood that the heated gas will flow upward. By positioning the air outlet above the air inlet 211, after exchanging heat with the radiator 31 and heating up, the airflow can flow to the air outlet more quickly, which helps to increase the airflow circulation efficiency and thus improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the first direction F1, the radiator 31 can be positioned between the air inlet 211 and the air outlet. This arrangement allows the air inlet 41 to face the air inlet 211, simplifying the airflow path, improving airflow circulation efficiency, and thus enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the first direction F1, the minimum distance between the inlet 41 and the heat sink 31 is L, where L ≥ 5mm and L ≤ 50mm. That is, the minimum distance L between the inlet 41 and the heat sink 31 in the first direction F1 can be set to be greater than or equal to 5mm and less than or equal to 50mm, such as 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, etc.

[0042] The above settings can prevent interference between the air guide 4 and the radiator 31 during installation, which helps to reduce the difficulty of installation and allows the airflow to flow more concentratedly through the radiator 31, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31.

[0043] It should be emphasized that when the minimum distance L between the inlet 41 and the radiator 31 in the first direction F1 is 5mm, most of the airflow can flow through the radiator 31, which greatly improves the utilization rate of air volume; while when the minimum distance L between the inlet 41 and the radiator 31 in the first direction F1 is 50mm, it can effectively prevent interference between the air guide 4 and the radiator 31 due to processing errors and installation errors, and reduce the installation difficulty of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, in the second direction F2, the size of the heat sink 31 is H0, the size of the inlet 41 is H1, H1 / H0≥0.5, H1 / H0≤1.5, and the first direction F1 intersects the second direction F2. For example, the first direction F1 can be set as the up-down direction, and the second direction F2 can be set as the left-right direction.

[0045] In other words, the ratio of the size H1 of the inlet 41 in the second direction F2 to the size H0 of the radiator 31 in the second direction F2 can be set to be greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 1.5, such as 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, etc. This improves the airflow guiding effect of the air guide 4, which helps to improve the flow stability and concentration of the airflow, thereby increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31.

[0046] It should be emphasized that when the ratio of the size H1 of the inlet 41 in the second direction F2 to the size H0 of the radiator 31 in the second direction F2 is 0.5, the airflow is more concentrated, allowing more airflow to pass through the radiator 31, improving the utilization rate of air volume, and thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31. When the ratio of the size H1 of the inlet 41 in the second direction F2 to the size H0 of the radiator 31 in the second direction F2 is 1.5, the size of the inlet 41 is larger, making it easier for the airflow in the receiving cavity 6 to flow into the inlet 41, improving the flow stability of the airflow, which is conducive to increasing the circulation efficiency of the airflow, and thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-5As shown, on the third direction F3, the size of the heat sink 31 is W0, the size of the inlet 41 is W1, W1 / W0≥0.5, W1 / W0≤1.5, and the third direction F3 intersects with the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 respectively. For example, the first direction F1 can be set as the up-down direction, the second direction F2 can be set as the left-right direction, and the third direction F3 can be set as the front-back direction.

[0048] In other words, the ratio of the dimension W1 of the inlet 41 in the third direction F3 to the dimension W0 of the radiator 31 in the third direction F3 can be set to be greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 1.5, such as 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, etc. This can improve the airflow guiding effect of the air guide 4, which is conducive to improving the flow stability and concentration of airflow, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31.

[0049] It should be emphasized that when the ratio of the size W1 of the inlet 41 in the third direction F3 to the size W0 of the radiator 31 in the third direction F3 is 0.5, the airflow is more concentrated, allowing more airflow to pass through the radiator 31, improving the utilization rate of air volume, and thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31. When the ratio of the size W1 of the inlet 41 in the third direction F3 to the size W0 of the radiator 31 in the third direction F3 is 1.5, the size of the inlet 41 is larger, making it easier for the airflow in the receiving cavity 6 to flow into the inlet 41, improving the flow stability of the airflow, which is conducive to increasing the circulation efficiency of the airflow, and thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first direction F1, the second direction F2, and the third direction F3 can be set to be perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the first direction F1 can be set as the up-down direction, the second direction F2 as the left-right direction, and the third direction F3 as the front-back direction. This ensures the airflow guiding effect of the air guide 4.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple air inlets 211 can be arranged alternately. This improves the air intake efficiency of the receiving cavity 6 and reduces the size of a single air inlet 211, thus reducing the probability of debris entering the receiving cavity 6 and improving the operational stability of the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the electrical control box 2 includes an end plate 21 and a cover 22. The end plate 21 is fixedly connected to the housing body 11 and protrudes from the side of the housing body 11 facing the receiving cavity 6. The end plate 21 is disposed opposite to the top cover 12, and the air inlet 211 is disposed on the end plate 21. The cover 22 is detachably connected to the housing body 11. Exemplarily, the cover 22 and the housing body 11 can be connected by screws; or, the cover 22 and the housing body 11 can be connected by snap-fit. This utility model does not limit this.

[0053] Understandably, by placing the air inlet 211 on the end plate 21, the air inlet 211 can be axially aligned with the radiator 31, which helps to reduce airflow resistance and increase airflow velocity, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 31. In addition, by making the cover 22 removable from the casing body 11, the maintenance difficulty of the outdoor unit 100 can be reduced, and the practicality of the outdoor unit 100 can be improved.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control board 3 can be connected to the housing body 11. This improves the installation stability of the control board 3, and the control board 3 can remain stationary during the disassembly and assembly of the cover 22, facilitating subsequent maintenance and improving the design rationality of the outdoor unit 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the electrical control box 2 of this embodiment further includes an insulating component 5. The insulating component 5 can be made of insulating materials such as plastic or rubber. The insulating component 5 is connected to the side of the housing body 11 facing the electrical control board 3. The insulating component 5 is used to insulate and separate the housing body 11 from the electrical control board 3 to prevent leakage of electricity from the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. The air guide component 4 can be installed on the insulating component 5; or, the air guide component 4 and the insulating component 5 can be formed as a single unit.

[0056] The above setup enables integrated layout, which helps reduce the installation difficulty of the air guide 4, simplifies the structure, and reduces the processing difficulty and cost of the outdoor air conditioning unit 100.

[0057] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner.

[0058] An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an outdoor unit 100 of an air conditioner according to any of the above embodiments.

[0059] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner has high operational stability, which is beneficial to improving the overall performance of the air conditioner.
