[0029] It should be noted that at least part of the outer edge of the boss 12 is located inside the outer edge of the bottom plate 11, that is, the mounting groove 13 with L-shaped cross section is formed between the outer edge of the boss 12 and the outer edge of the bottom plate 11, and the lower end of the side panel 2 is located in the mounting groove 13. The side panel 2 has two and is fixed on the sheet metal column of the air conditioner in a clamping manner, and the part of the side panel 2 arranged in the mounting groove 13 has no direct connection relationship with the bottom plate 11 and the boss 12.

[0030] ​In some embodiments, the air conditioner housing further comprises a first anti-insect part 4, at least part of the first anti-insect part 4 is arranged between the side panel 2 and the bottom plate 11, and / or, at least part of the first anti-insect part 4 is arranged between the side panel 2 and the boss 12.

[0031] That is, no matter whether the first anti-insect part 4 is arranged between the side panel 2 and the bottom plate 11 or between the side panel 2 and the boss 12, the first anti-insect part 4 can block the gap between the side panel 2 and the base 1 to prevent insects from entering the inside of the air conditioner housing through the gap, and the position of the first anti-insect part 4 is flexible.

[0032] For example, in order to ensure the appearance of the air conditioner housing, it is preferred that part of the first anti-insect part 4 is arranged between the side panel 2 and the boss 12 to achieve the anti-insect purpose, at this time the first anti-insect part 4 is blocked by the side panel 2 and will not be exposed to the outside.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first anti-insect part 4 is connected with the boss 12, at least part of the first anti-insect part 4 is arranged between the side panel 2 and the boss 12, and the maximum width of the gap between the first anti-insect part 4 and the side panel 2 is d, wherein d≤1mm.

[0034] By connecting the first anti-insect part 4 with the boss 12, the part of the first anti-insect part 4 between the side panel 2 and the boss 12 is tightly abutted on the outer circumferential surface of the boss 12, at this time, by setting the maximum width of the gap between the first anti-insect part 4 and the side panel 2 to be less than or equal to 1mm, most of the insects can be prevented from entering the air conditioner housing, and the anti-insect reliability of the first anti-insect part 4 is higher.

[0035] For example, the maximum width of the gap between the first anti-insect part 4 and the side panel 2 can be 0.5mm and 1mm, or the first anti-insect part 4 can be tightly abutted on the side panel 2, thereby having better anti-insect effect.

[0049] For example, the lower end of the rear wall 31 is located in the mounting groove 13, the second insect prevention part 32 is arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the rear wall 31, the second insect prevention part 32 abuts against the upper surface of the boss 12, the rear wall 31 is spliced and matched with the two side plates 2 at the opposite ends in the circumferential direction of the boss 12, respectively, and the second insect prevention part 32 extends to the two first insect prevention parts 4 in the circumferential direction of the boss 12, respectively, thereby effectively ensuring the connection sealing performance of the connection between the rear wall 31 and the side plate 2 and the boss 12.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second insect prevention part 32 is connected with the boss 12. One of the second insect prevention part 32 and the boss 12 is provided with a second guide hole 124, and the other is provided with a second guide column 321, and the second guide column 321 is fitted in the second guide hole 124.

[0051] The cooperation of the second guide column 321 and the second guide hole 124 makes the positioning effect of the second insect prevention part 32 on the boss 12 good, thereby effectively reducing the connection difficulty of the second insect prevention part 32 and the boss 12.

[0052] For example, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the second guide holes 124 and the second guide posts 321 both extend along the height direction of the side panel 2, the second guide holes 124 are arranged on the boss 12 and the number is four, the second guide posts 321 are arranged on the lower surface of the second insect prevention piece 32 and correspond to the second guide holes 124 one by one, through the plug-in cooperation of the four second guide posts 321 and the corresponding second guide holes 124, the positioning reliability of the second insect prevention piece 32 on the boss 12 is higher, and the connection difficulty between the second insect prevention piece 32 and the boss 12 is lower.

[0053] Need to be explained, the cross-sectional outer contour of the second guide hole 124 and the cross-sectional outer contour of the second guide post 321 match, the cross-sectional outer contour of the second guide hole 124 is preferably circular, but also can be oval, square or other shape.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the rear frame 3 further includes a reinforcing rib 33 connecting the rear wall 31 and the second insect prevention piece 32, and the rear wall 31, the second insect prevention piece 32 and the reinforcing rib 33 are integrally formed.

[0055] The arrangement of the reinforcing rib 33 further improves the connection strength between the second insect prevention piece 32 and the rear wall 31, and after the second insect prevention piece 32 is connected with the boss 12, the installation reliability of the rear wall 31 on the base 1 is higher.
