In addition, in the following description, the same reference signs in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise explained. The above definitions are only used to explain and illustrate the present disclosure, and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0027] In the related art, the air conditioner outdoor unit is usually arranged outdoors, and in a rainy environment, rainwater is easy to splash into or flow into the compressor cavity from the first heat dissipation hole opened in the electric appliance cover plate. In addition, when the air conditioner outdoor unit is working, external air can enter or exit the compressor cavity through the first heat dissipation hole and form convection, which causes rainwater to be easily sucked into the compressor cavity along with the air, and further causes the electric elements in the compressor cavity to short circuit and fail.

[0028] In order to improve the waterproof performance of the electric appliance cover plate, according to the specific embodiments provided by the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 6As shown in the , an electric appliance cover plate for an air conditioner outdoor unit is provided, comprising: a cover body 1, which is provided with a first heat dissipation hole 11 for communicating a compressor cavity of the air conditioner outdoor unit; and a waterproof assembly 2, which comprises a first waterproof member 21, the first waterproof member 21 comprising a first water blocking portion 211, a projection of the first water blocking portion 211 in the up-down direction covering the first heat dissipation hole 11. Optionally, the first water blocking portion 211 can be located above the first heat dissipation hole 11, and the projection of the first water blocking portion 211 in the up-down direction covers the first heat dissipation hole 11.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, in the electric appliance cover plate provided by the present disclosure, the projection of the first water blocking portion 211 in the up-down direction covers the first heat dissipation hole 11, that is, the first water blocking portion 211 can completely block the first heat dissipation hole 11 in the up-down direction, so that when air enters the inside of the cover body 1 from below through the first heat dissipation hole 11 and continues to flow upwards to contact the first water blocking portion 211, it can enter the compressor cavity from the two sides of the first water blocking portion 211 after passing through the water blocking portion, realizing heat exchange of the compressor cavity, while rainwater or rainwater mixed in the air will be blocked by the first water blocking portion 211 after contacting the first water blocking portion 211, and will slide down to the first heat dissipation hole 11 under the action of its own gravity and flow out, that is, the setting of the first water blocking portion 211 can prevent rainwater and the like from entering the compressor cavity while allowing air to enter the compressor cavity, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the electric appliance cover plate. In some embodiments, the first heat dissipation hole can be arranged at the bottom of the electric appliance cover plate and extend in the up-down direction to further reduce the probability of rainwater entering the inside of the electric appliance cover plate.

[0030] In the electric appliance cover plate provided by the present disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 As shown in the Figure 3 , the number of the first heat dissipation holes 11 can be multiple, at least two adjacent first heat dissipation holes 11 can be provided with the first waterproof member 21, a gap 213 can be formed between the first water blocking portions 211 of the two adjacent first waterproof members 21, the waterproof assembly 2 can comprise a second waterproof member 22, the second waterproof member 22 can be arranged on the side of the first waterproof member 21 away from the first heat dissipation hole 11, and can comprise a third water blocking portion 221, a projection of the third water blocking portion 221 in the up-down direction covering the gap 213. Optionally, the second waterproof member 22 is located above the first waterproof member 21, and the first water blocking portion is located above the first heat dissipation hole 11. Among them, the setting of multiple first heat dissipation holes 11 can improve the heat dissipation performance of the electric appliance cover plate, in this implementation, the number of the first waterproof members 21 is also multiple and is arranged one by one corresponding to the first heat dissipation holes 11, so as to ensure the waterproof effect at each first heat dissipation hole 11, and the setting of the second waterproof member 22 can prevent rainwater from flowing into the compressor cavity through the gap 213 between any two adjacent first waterproof members 21 after passing through the first heat dissipation hole 11, realizing more effective blocking of rainwater.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the second waterproof component 22 may have second heat dissipation holes 222 corresponding one-to-one with the first water-blocking part 211. The first heat dissipation hole 11 can communicate with the second heat dissipation hole 222 through the gap 213. In this way, air can enter the gap 213 between two adjacent first waterproof components 21 through the first heat dissipation hole 11, continue to flow until it comes into contact with the third water-blocking part 221, and then enter the compressor cavity through the second heat dissipation holes 222 on both sides of the third water-blocking part 221. Rainwater enters the gap 213 through the first heat dissipation hole 11 at a specific angle, and is then blocked by the third water-blocking part 221, making it difficult for it to pass through the third water-blocking part 221 and enter the compressor cavity through the second heat dissipation hole 222. This further improves the waterproof performance without affecting the heat dissipation function of the electrical cover plate.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the second waterproof component 22 can also be constructed as a horizontal plate, which is disposed above the first waterproof component 21 and fixed to the side wall of the cover plate. The projection of the horizontal plate in the vertical direction covers the gap 213, which can also achieve the purpose of further improving the waterproof performance of the electrical cover plate. This disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0033] In the electrical cover provided in this disclosure, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect of the electrical cover, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 or Figure 5 As shown, the cover 1 may have a mounting plate 12, which may be at least partially constructed as an arc-shaped plate, with a plurality of first heat dissipation holes 11 arranged along its own extending direction. In the transverse arrangement space (refer to...) Figure 3 Under certain conditions (in the left and right directions), the curved plate has a longer length than the straight plate, which allows for the arrangement of more first heat dissipation holes 11. Thus, without increasing the volume of the electrical cover, a sufficient number of first heat dissipation holes 11 can be opened, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the electrical cover.

[0034] In the electrical cover provided in this disclosure, in order to further improve the waterproof effect of the first waterproof component 21, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 3 As shown, the first waterproof component 21 may include a second water-blocking part 212, which extends vertically and connects the first water-blocking part 211 and the cover 1. In actual use, external rainwater does not all enter the first heat dissipation hole 11 vertically and be blocked by the first water-blocking part 211, but rather at various angles. The second water-blocking part 212 can block rainwater that passes through the first heat dissipation hole 11 at an angle, and at the same time, it can also divert rainwater on the first water-blocking part 211, making it easier for rainwater to flow out of the first heat dissipation hole 11.

[0035] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the second water blocking part 212 can also function to fix the first water blocking part 211, and in other embodiments, the first water blocking part 211 can be directly connected to the inner side wall of the cover body 1, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0036] In the electric appliance cover provided by the present disclosure, the first water blocking part 21 can be configured in any suitable form, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure. As an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first water blocking part 211 and the second water blocking part 212 can both be configured as plates, and the included angle between the first water blocking part 211 and the second water blocking part 212 is an obtuse angle. Figure 3 That is, the first water blocking part 211 is arranged in an inclined manner above the first heat dissipation hole 11, which can provide a certain drainage effect for the rainwater blocked by the first water blocking part 211. Specifically, the rainwater blocked by the first water blocking part 211 can flow along the surface of the first water blocking part 211 to the surface of the second water blocking part 212 due to its own gravity, and finally flow out through the first heat dissipation hole 11. In addition, the effective water blocking range of the first water blocking part 211 can be increased, and the rainwater entering from the included angle between the first water blocking part 211 and the second water blocking part 212 can be blocked, further improving the waterproof effect of the electric appliance cover.

[0037] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the arc-shaped plate can be convex downward, the first heat dissipation hole 11 can have opposite low and high side ends, and the second water blocking part 212 can be arranged at the low side end. Figure 2 Or Figure 3 Among them, the design of the arc-shaped plate convex downward can avoid the water blocking assembly occupying the space inside the electric appliance cover; the design of the second water blocking part 212 arranged at the low side end can achieve better waterproof effect, because the rainwater is easy to enter the first heat dissipation hole 11 from the higher side at an inclined angle, that is, the rainwater will finally flow to the lower side, and the second water blocking part 212 can block the rainwater after it enters the first heat dissipation hole 11 and guide the rainwater to flow out through the first heat dissipation hole 11, improving the reliability of the water blocking assembly 2 in blocking rainwater.

[0038] Among them, the arc-shaped plate can be configured as a semicircular plate, and the plurality of first heat dissipation holes 11 can be arranged around the center of the semicircular plate. Between the two side walls of the electric appliance cover, the semicircular plate can provide a larger platform for the arrangement of the plurality of first heat dissipation holes 11, so as to increase the number of first heat dissipation holes 11 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the electric appliance cover.

[0039] In other embodiments, the mounting plate 12 can also be divided into three parts, the two parts at both ends are configured as arc-shaped plates, and the middle part is configured as a straight plate, which also can increase the arrangement platform of the first heat dissipation holes 11, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0040] In the electric appliance cover plate provided in the present disclosure, in order to further improve the waterproof performance of the electric appliance cover plate, as an exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 4 or Figure 6 As shown in the drawings, the cover body 1 can include an end plate 13 arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 12, the end plate 13 is provided with a wire inlet port 131, the waterproof assembly 2 can include a third waterproof member 23, the third waterproof member 23 can be connected at the bottom of the mounting plate 12, the projection of the third waterproof member 23 in the thickness direction of the end plate 13 covers the wire inlet port 131. In this way, on the one hand, it can prevent rainwater from entering the compressor cavity from the wire inlet port 131, and on the other hand, it can form an extended edge downward on the outside of the mounting plate 12, i.e., the first heat dissipation hole 11, to block rainwater from directly entering the first heat dissipation hole 11 from the front.

[0041] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the upper side of the wire inlet port 131 is provided with two second water blocking portions 212 arranged at intervals. In this way, the rainwater entering the inside of the electric appliance cover plate at an inclined angle through the wire inlet port 131 can be blocked by the two second water blocking portions 212 on both sides of the wire inlet port 131, avoiding the rainwater directly entering the compressor cavity, and improving the waterproof effect at the wire inlet port 131. In addition, the two second water blocking portions 212 are arranged at intervals, which can also avoid interfering with the installation of the wire harness in the compressor cavity. After passing through the wire inlet port 131, the wire harness enters the compressor cavity through the interval between the two second water blocking portions 212, realizing the electrical connection with the electrical components in the compressor cavity.

[0042] Based on the above-mentioned technical solutions, the present disclosure further provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, which includes the above-mentioned electric appliance cover plate. The air conditioner outdoor unit has a side plate, the side plate is provided with an opening communicating with the compressor cavity, and the electric appliance cover plate is arranged on the opening. The compressor cavity communicates with the outside through the opening and the first heat dissipation hole 11, realizing heat dissipation of the electrical components in the compressor cavity. The air conditioner outdoor unit has all the technical features of the above-mentioned electric appliance cover plate, and thus will not be described here.

[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above-mentioned embodiments. Within the technical concept range of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection range of the present disclosure.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that each specific technical feature described in the above-mentioned specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combination manners.

[0045] In addition, various different embodiments of the present disclosure can also be combined in any manner, as long as they do not deviate from the idea of the present disclosure, and they should also be considered as disclosed in the present disclosure.
