[0001] This utility model relates to the field of noise reduction housing technology, and in particular to an auxiliary noise reduction housing structure for an air conditioner outdoor unit. Background Technology

[0002] Noise from air conditioner outdoor units is a common problem that can affect people's lives, work, and rest. In residential areas, excessive noise from air conditioner outdoor units can disrupt residents' normal rest, especially at night, where the noise may make it difficult for people to fall asleep or cause sleep interruptions.

[0003] During operation, the outdoor unit of an air conditioner vibrates due to the vibration of components such as the compressor and fan. If the outdoor unit is not installed securely or the vibration damping measures are inadequate, these vibrations will be transmitted to the surrounding environment through the support structure of the outdoor unit, generating noise.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model document proposes an auxiliary noise reduction housing structure for an air conditioner outdoor unit. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides an auxiliary noise reduction housing structure for an air conditioner outdoor unit, which solves the problem that in the prior art, the vibration of the compressor, fan and other components during the operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit will cause the entire outdoor unit to vibrate. If the outdoor unit is not installed securely or the vibration reduction measures are not in place, these vibrations will be transmitted to the surrounding environment through the support structure of the outdoor unit, generating noise.

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

[0007] An auxiliary noise reduction housing structure for an air conditioner outdoor unit includes:

[0008] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner has a support base at its bottom. Each of the four corners of the support base has a corresponding pneumatic shock absorber. Two covers are symmetrically fixed on the top of the support base. Graphite sponge is placed on the inner wall of each cover. Two mounting plates are symmetrically fixed on the bottom of the outdoor unit. Four screws are fixed in a rectangular array on the top of the support base. The top of each screw passes through the mounting holes on the covers and mounting plates and is threaded with a corresponding nut. The tops of the two covers are snapped with the same cover plate.

[0009] The enclosure consists of a shock-absorbing layer, a sound-absorbing layer, and a sound-insulating panel, from the inside out.

[0010] In one possible design, a first bolt is provided in the mounting holes at the four corners of the support base, a threaded seat for threaded connection of the bottom end of the first bolt is fixedly provided on the top of the pneumatic shock absorber, and a corresponding base plate is fixedly provided on the bottom of the pneumatic shock absorber, with a second bolt provided in the two mounting holes on the base plate.

[0011] In one possible design, a first shock-absorbing pad is fixedly installed at the bottom and bottom of the mounting plate, a second shock-absorbing pad is fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the support base, and a third shock-absorbing pad is fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the base plate.

[0012] In one possible design, the opposing surfaces of the two housings do not contact each other, and the housings are provided with arc-shaped openings for ventilation of the air conditioner outdoor unit's cooling fan and through holes for pipes and cables to pass through.

[0013] In one possible design, the support base is reinforced by two X-shaped reinforcement brackets.

[0015] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the present invention.

[0016] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows:

[0017] When in use, place the support base in the predetermined position, ensuring it is stable and level. Use the second bolt to fix the base plate of the pneumatic shock absorber to the ground or mounting surface. Connect the top of the pneumatic shock absorber to the first bolt at the four corners of the support base through the threaded seat, and adjust the height of the shock absorber appropriately to ensure the stability of the support base. Graphite sponge is pasted on the inner wall of the cover to enhance sound absorption and heat conduction. Then, place the air conditioner outdoor unit on the support base, aligning the mounting plate at its bottom with the cover. Use screws to pass through the mounting holes on the cover and mounting plate, and tighten with nuts to ensure the air conditioner outdoor unit is securely installed on the support base. Then, snap the cover plate onto the top of the two covers to ensure the structure is complete and tight.

[0018] When the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is running, the vibrations and noise generated are first absorbed and dispersed by the damping layer, then further absorbed by the sound-absorbing layer, and finally isolated by the sound insulation board. At the same time, the synergistic effect of the pneumatic shock absorber and the damping pad effectively reduces the transmission of vibration to the surrounding environment, while the reinforcement frame ensures the stability and reliability of the support base. Through these comprehensive measures, the auxiliary noise reduction shell structure of this air conditioner outdoor unit can significantly reduce the noise level of the air conditioner outdoor unit and improve the comfort of the home environment.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This utility model employs a multi-layer noise reduction structure, including a shock-absorbing layer, a sound-absorbing layer, and a sound-insulating board, as well as the sound-absorbing and heat-conducting effects of graphite sponge. The noise reduction shell structure of this application can significantly reduce the noise level of the air conditioner outdoor unit during operation, providing a quieter and more comfortable environment.

[0021] The use of pneumatic shock absorbers and multi-layer shock-absorbing pads (including a first shock-absorbing pad, a second shock-absorbing pad, and a third shock-absorbing pad) in this invention effectively reduces the vibration and shaking of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner during operation, and improves its stability and safety.

[0022] This invention has significant noise reduction effect and stable support structure. By adopting multi-layer noise reduction materials and vibration damping structure, it can effectively reduce the noise of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner during operation and provide a comfortable indoor environment. At the same time, by optimizing the installation and disassembly methods and reinforcement measures, it also improves the convenience of installation and the stability of the structure.
