[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A low-noise air conditioner outdoor unit housing includes an outer shell, an air conditioner outdoor unit is disposed inside the outer shell, mounting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer shell, two mounting holes are opened on the top of each mounting block, and the outer shell and the two mounting blocks are provided with the same rubber pad at the bottom.

[0008] Fall protection mechanism: The fall protection mechanism is located inside the casing and is used to prevent the outdoor unit of the air conditioner from falling.

[0009] The noise reduction mechanism is located inside the casing and is used to reduce the noise generated by the outdoor unit of the air conditioner during operation.

[0010] In one possible design, the fall arrest mechanism includes a limiting frame, a fixed plate, lifting slots, and limiting bolts. The two sides of the fixed plate are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the outer shell. The two lifting slots are both opened inside the fixed plate, and lifting blocks are slidably connected inside the two lifting slots. One side of the two limiting frames is respectively fixedly connected to one side of the two lifting blocks.

[0011] In one possible design, a fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the housing, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block, a steel cable is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring, and a locking bolt is fixedly connected to the other end of the steel cable.

[0012] In one possible design, the noise reduction mechanism includes a placement frame, a cover ring, a mounting plate, a rubber ring, a top plate, sound-absorbing cotton, and sound-absorbing holes. The bottom of the placement frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom side of the outer casing. The bottom of the cover ring is fixedly connected to the top of the placement frame to prevent the rubber ring from falling off. The outer wall of the rubber ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement frame. A fixing groove is formed on the inner wall of the rubber ring. The outer wall of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove. The bottom of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate. The bottom of the top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the outer casing. Two sound-absorbing grooves are formed on the top of the outer casing. Two pieces of sound-absorbing cotton are placed inside the two sound-absorbing grooves respectively. Multiple sound-absorbing holes are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the outer casing, and the multiple sound-absorbing holes are interconnected with the two sound-absorbing grooves.

[0013] In one possible design, the top of the top plate has two connecting grooves, which are connected to two sound-absorbing grooves. Each connecting groove contains a sealing cap, which is positioned on top of two sound-absorbing cotton pieces. Each sealing cap has a limiting block fixedly connected to its top, a limiting groove at its bottom, and a limiting hole inside each limiting block. A rod is slidably connected inside each limiting hole. The top of the top plate is rotatably connected to two turntables, each turntable having a limiting rod fixedly connected to its outer wall. The limiting rods are positioned inside the two limiting grooves to lock the two sealing caps.

At this time, the rubber ring inside the frame acts as the first layer of sound insulation barrier. Its unique elasticity and tight fit design effectively isolate the vibration and noise generated by the outdoor unit during operation, reducing the transmission of these sounds to the surrounding environment. Then, the two limiting brackets are lowered by two lifting blocks to lock them on top of the outdoor unit. The two limiting bolts are then tightened to more stably fix the outdoor unit inside the casing, preventing it from falling out of the casing. The casing is then fixed to the installation area by the mounting blocks and mounting holes on both sides. The rubber pad at the bottom can further reduce the vibration and noise generated by the outdoor unit during operation. Finally, the locking bolts are fixed to a suitable fixed object. The combination of steel cable and locking bolts provides additional safety for the device, preventing the entire device from falling and thus enhancing the safety of the device. When the outdoor unit is running, the noise is transmitted to the sound-absorbing cotton through the sound-absorbing groove and the sound-absorbing holes on both sides of the casing. The porous structure inside the sound-absorbing cotton can efficiently absorb and dissipate sound wave energy, thereby achieving a more significant noise reduction effect.

[0016] In this utility model, the low-noise air conditioner outdoor unit casing, through the anti-fall mechanism, can prevent the device from accidentally falling due to vibration, wind or other external factors. This not only protects the air conditioner outdoor unit itself from damage, but also avoids potential harm to the surrounding environment and people, thus improving overall safety.

[0017] In this utility model, the low-noise air conditioner outdoor unit casing, through a noise reduction mechanism, can reduce the noise generated during the operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit, thereby reducing noise interference to the surrounding environment and people, and improving the overall quality of life.

[0018] In this invention, the anti-fall mechanism and noise reduction mechanism not only significantly enhance the safety and stability of the air conditioner outdoor unit, preventing accidental falls and ensuring stable operation under extreme conditions, but also greatly reduce noise pollution during operation, creating a more comfortable and quiet living environment for users and improving product satisfaction and user experience.
