[0019] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description of it is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0020] See appendix Figure 1-4As shown, in this embodiment, an easily detachable dustproof air conditioner outdoor unit includes an outdoor unit housing 1, a filter 2, and a guide rail assembly. The guide rail assembly includes an upper guide rail 31 and a lower guide rail 32 arranged opposite to each other at the upper and lower positions of the outer edge of the air inlet surface of the outdoor unit housing 1. Specifically, guide rail slides extending along the length direction are formed on the opposite surfaces of the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32. Furthermore, the shapes of the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32 match the outline shape of the air inlet surface of the outdoor unit housing 1 (in this embodiment, it is an "L-shaped" structure, which is not specifically limited, and an appropriate shape structure can be selected according to the actual shape).

[0021] In this embodiment, the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32 are each provided with a recessed hole 33 at their ends, which communicates with their respective guide rail slides. The recessed hole 33 is located on the outer peripheral surface of the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32, and the opening span of the recessed hole 33 is greater than the width of the guide rail slide.

[0022] In this embodiment, the filter screen 2 covers the air inlet surface of the outdoor unit housing 1, and the upper and lower edges of the filter screen 2 are slidably inserted into the guide rail tracks of the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32 through the embedding holes 33, respectively. Specifically, the edge of the filter screen 2 in this embodiment is formed with a fixing frame 21 with tough bending characteristics. The fixing frame 21 is made of weather-resistant PP material (which has certain characteristics such as aging resistance, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance, and can withstand the influence of long-term sunlight exposure, temperature changes, and natural environmental factors such as wind and rain, and is not prone to aging, embrittlement, fading, etc., thus improving the durability of the fixing frame 21 and preventing the fixing frame 21 from falling out of the guide rail track). Secondly, the upper and lower parts of the fixing frame 21 are slidably inserted into the guide rail tracks of the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32 through the recessed holes 33, respectively. That is: first, one end of the upper and lower parts of the fixing frame 21 is inserted into the guide rail tracks through the recessed holes 33 of the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32, respectively. Then, the filter screen 2 is pushed to make the fixing frame 21 slide synchronously along the guide rail tracks until the upper and lower parts of the fixing frame 21 are completely embedded in the guide rail tracks and the filter screen 2 completely covers the air inlet surface of the outdoor unit casing 1, thereby achieving a dustproof effect. Conversely, when disassembly and cleaning are required, simply push the filter screen 2 in the opposite direction to make the other end of the upper and lower parts of the fixing frame 21 exit the guide rail tracks through the recessed holes 33. Then, continue to push the filter screen 2 to make the upper and lower parts of the fixing frame 21 completely slide out of the guide rail tracks, thus completing the disassembly of the filter screen 2 and realizing the quick disassembly, replacement and cleaning of the filter screen 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, both ends of the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32 are formed with connecting ears 34, and the connecting ears 34 are fastened to the outdoor unit housing 1 by preset screws. Specifically, each connecting ear 34 has a mounting hole for the screw to pass through, that is, after the screw passes through the mounting hole of the connecting ear 34, it is fastened to the sheet metal of the outdoor unit housing 1. In this way, the installation of the upper guide rail 31 and the lower guide rail 32 is convenient, and it can be universally adapted to existing air conditioner outdoor units without redesigning the structure of the air conditioner outdoor unit, which greatly reduces the mold opening and production costs, and can achieve the dustproof effect at low cost.

[0024] In this embodiment, the thickness of the fixed frame 21 matches the width of the guide rail slide. Since the fixed frame 21 has a certain degree of tensile and torsional characteristics, a sealing effect is achieved between the fixed frame 21 and the guide rail slide, which further provides a dustproof effect.

[0025] In this embodiment, filter 2 is made of nylon and has a double-layer 60-mesh mesh structure, which effectively filters most of the dust in the air without affecting the air intake, thereby extending the service life of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to improve the overall strength of the filter screen 2, the filter screen 2 is provided with a number of equally spaced reinforcing strips 22, and the two ends of each reinforcing strip 22 are connected to the upper and lower parts of the fixed frame 21 respectively.

[0027] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Any modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from its scope are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the concept of this utility model without departing from its scope should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
