[0042] Specifically, the air conditioner outdoor unit has a supporting member 1, and the pressing member 2 is fixed on the supporting member 1, so as to fix the flexible connection assembly 3 on the supporting member 1, thereby ensuring the fixation of the part of the flexible connection assembly 3 extending into the air conditioner outdoor unit, and reducing the influence of the swing of the flexible connection assembly 3 on the internal devices of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The pressing member 2 directly presses and fixes the flexible connection assembly 3 on the supporting member 1, thereby facilitating the fixation of the flexible connection assembly 3. But because the drain pipe 31 is generally configured as a flexible hose, during the pressing and fixation process of the pressing member 2, the drain pipe 31 has the risk of being crushed, thereby causing the drain pipe 31 to be blocked and affecting the flow of the condensate water to the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0043] Therefore, the drain pipe 31 has a hard support structure at least at the pressing part 2, which can enhance the radial compression strength of the drain pipe 31, and can provide radial support for the drain pipe 31, so as to ensure that the pressing part 2 can press the flexible connecting assembly 3 on the accommodating part 1, and reduce the possibility of the drain pipe 31 being crushed.

[0057] Specifically, because the split air conditioner injects refrigerant into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment is shipped, it does not need to assemble the flexible refrigerant pipe 33 and add refrigerant, but in order to adapt to various installation environments, the length of the flexible connection assembly 3 needs to be provided with sufficient allowance. After the installation is completed, the flexible connection assembly 3 with the excess length needs to be stored, in order to ensure the aesthetic degree and also in order to reduce the influence of the overlong flexible connection assembly 3 on the daily life of the user, a partition plate is arranged, which separates the internal space of the air conditioner into a first space and a second space, the first space and the second space are arranged separately and are not communicated with each other, the first space is used for installation of the heat exchanger and the fan assembly of the air conditioner and serves as the main space of the air conditioner.
