[0029] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The main control module 400 is vertically arranged in the installation chamber and fixed on the partition plate, so that the layout of the outdoor unit is more reasonable.

[0030] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The installation chamber is located at the right side of the heat exchange chamber, the first side wall is the right side wall of the shell 110, the mounting plate 210 includes a first plate segment 211 and a second plate segment 212, the first plate segment 211 is located above and left of the wiring port 130, and the second plate segment 212 is located below and right of the first plate segment 211 and opposite to the wiring port 130.

The end of the first plate segment 211 close to the first side wall is provided with a first screw hole 214, the upper end of the first side wall is provided with a second screw hole 140, the second screw hole 140 is located above the wiring port 130, and a first screw is screwed into the first screw hole 214 and the second screw hole 140, so that the end of the first plate segment 211 close to the first side wall is fixedly connected with the first side wall. This scheme is simple in structure and convenient to operate.

[0032] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the lower end of the second plate segment 212 is provided with a third threaded hole 215, the lower wall of the wiring port 130 is provided with a fourth threaded hole 150, and a second screw is screwed into the third threaded hole 215 and the fourth threaded hole 150 to achieve the fixed connection of the lower end of the second plate segment 212 to the lower wall of the wiring port 130. This scheme is simple in structure and convenient to operate.

[0033] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The mounting plate 210 is made of stamping, so that the mounting plate 210 is easier to manufacture. The first plate segment 211 is arranged horizontally (e.g., arranged along the horizontal direction or substantially arranged along the horizontal direction), and the second plate segment 212 is arranged vertically (e.g., arranged along the vertical direction or substantially arranged along the vertical direction) and has a bent structure. The concave side of the second plate segment 212 faces the wiring port 130, so that the first wiring part and the second wiring part are both located between the mounting plate 210 and the wiring port 130.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The water tank control module 300 is located below the first plate segment 211 and is connected to the first plate segment 211 by clamping. Therefore, the first plate segment 211 can also block water for the water tank control module 300. Thus, the water tank control module 300 is less likely to be short-circuited by water in this scheme.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2 The water tank control module 300 is provided with a clamping hook 310, and the first plate segment 211 is provided with a clamping hole. The clamping hook 310 is clamped into the clamping hole to achieve the clamping connection between the water tank control module 300 and the first plate segment 211. This scheme is simple in structure and easy to implement. Alternatively, the water tank control module 300 is provided with a clamping hole, and the first plate segment 211 is provided with a clamping hook. The clamping hook is clamped into the clamping hole to achieve the clamping connection between the water tank control module 300 and the first plate segment 211. This scheme is simple in structure and easy to implement. The above can achieve the purpose of the present application, and the design idea is not deviated from the design idea of the present application. Therefore, it will not be described here again, and it should belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water tank control module 300 includes a box body and a water tank control board. The box body is connected to the first plate segment 211 by clamping. The water tank control board is horizontally arranged (e.g., arranged along the horizontal direction or substantially arranged along the horizontal direction) in the box body. Thus, the water tank control module 300 occupies a smaller size in the installation cavity height direction, which is more conducive to arranging the compressor below the water tank control module 300. The box body can include a bottom box and a box cover. The water tank control board is installed in the bottom box from the top opening of the bottom box. The box cover is installed at the top opening of the bottom box and is connected to the bottom box by clamping. Thus, dust and other impurities can be prevented from entering the box body and contaminating the water tank control board.

[0037] In summary, the multi-splitter provided by the embodiment of the application has a relatively large space inside the main body, so that the water tank control module can be easily arranged in the main body, without the need to change the structure of the injection molding part on the main body, so that the injection molding part on the main body does not need to be re-molded, and therefore the modification cost of the outdoor unit is relatively low; moreover, the structure of the water heater used in cooperation with the outdoor unit does not need to be modified, so that the injection molding part on the water heater does not need to be re-molded, and therefore the modification cost of the water heater is also relatively low.
