[0056] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0057] The following is for reference. Figures 1-20 Description of an outdoor air conditioning unit 1000 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present utility model.

[0058] like Figures 1-20 As shown, an outdoor unit 1000 for an air conditioner according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 100 and an electrical control box 200. The housing 100 includes: a main housing 10 and a first panel 20. The main housing 10 forms a first mounting cavity 101. The front side of the main housing 10 (see reference) Figure 1 An open opening communicating with the first mounting cavity 101 is formed in the front-back direction shown. The first panel 20 covers the open opening and is detachably connected to the main housing 10. The electrical control box 200 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 101, wherein the open opening is in the left-right direction (e.g., in the front-back direction shown). Figure 1At least one side of the control box 200 (in the left-right direction shown) is provided with a first flange 111, and one end of the control box 200 is located on the front side of the first flange 111 and is detachably connected to the flange.

[0059] In this embodiment, the outdoor unit 1000 of the air conditioner includes a housing 100 and an electrical control box 200. The housing 100 includes a main housing 10 and a first panel 20. The main housing 10 forms a first mounting cavity 101. The first panel 20 covers the opening of the first mounting cavity 101 and is detachably connected to the main housing 10. The structure is simple and can meet the sealing requirements of the first mounting cavity 101. The opening is formed on the front side of the main housing 10 and is reasonably arranged. After the first panel 20 is removed, the components in the first mounting cavity 101 can be moved out of the first mounting cavity 101 in the horizontal direction. In specific maintenance operations, maintenance personnel can easily move to the position on the side of the outdoor unit 1000 with the opening to perform maintenance operations.

[0060] In this embodiment, the electrical control box 200 is arranged in the first mounting cavity 101 in a reasonable manner, so that when the electrical control box 200 needs to be removed for maintenance, after the first panel 20 is removed, the electrical control box 200 can be easily removed from the first mounting cavity 101 and taken out from the open opening.

[0061] In this embodiment, a first flange 111 is provided on at least one side of the opening in the left-right direction. One end of the electrical control box 200 is detachably connected to the flange, resulting in a simple structure. The first flange 111 can provide an installation and fixing position for the electrical control box 200, making it more convenient to assemble the electrical control box 200 in the first mounting cavity 101. For example, the first panel 20 can also be detachably connected to the first flange 111, so that the first panel 20 can be conveniently fixed at the end of the opening with the first flange 111 and stably seal the opening.

[0062] Understandably, after installation, the outdoor unit 1000 of an air conditioner is often located in a relatively small space, such as a balcony, equipment room, or exterior wall. Therefore, the space available for maintenance personnel is small, and their range of motion is greatly restricted when repairing the outdoor unit 1000. When removing the control box 200 from the outdoor unit 1000, if some structures are in the path of the control box 200, the maintenance personnel need to work hard to change the removal direction of the control box 200 and gradually adjust to bypass the structure, making the disassembly and removal of the control box 200 quite troublesome and inconvenient.

[0063] In this embodiment, one end of the control box 200 is detachably connected to the first flange 111 and arranged on the front side of the first flange 111. This effectively avoids the first flange 111 obstructing the control box 200 when it is removed from the open opening after disassembly, allowing the control box 200 to be easily and directly removed towards the open opening. This also allows the outdoor unit 1000 of the air conditioner to easily and easily remove the control box 200 for maintenance. For example, one end of the control box 200 and the first flange 111 can be connected and fixed by fasteners or snap-fit ​​connections.

[0064] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the outdoor unit 1000 of the air conditioner has an open opening formed on the front side of the main housing 10, which communicates with the first mounting cavity 101. The electrical control box 200 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 101 and one end is detachably connected to a first flange 111 provided on one side of the open opening in the left-right direction. One end of the electrical control box 200 is located on the front side of the first flange 111, which can avoid the first flange 111 from obstructing the removal of the electrical control box 200 from the open opening, making it more convenient to remove the electrical control box 200. This allows the outdoor unit 1000 of the air conditioner to be easily disassembled and the electrical control box 200 removed for maintenance.

[0065] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the main housing 10 may include a middle partition 12 and a right side plate 11 arranged at left and right intervals. A first mounting cavity 101 is formed between the middle partition 12 and the right side plate 11, and a first flange 111 is formed at the front end of the right side plate 11.

[0066] This embodiment includes a central partition 12 and a right side plate 11, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. A first mounting cavity 101 is formed between the central partition 12 and the right side plate 11. The structure is simple. The front ends of the central partition 12 and the right side plate 11 can be formed as open openings on both sides in the left-right direction. The front end of the right side plate 11 forms a first flange 111. One end of the electrical control box 200 is detachably connected to the right side plate 11 through the first flange 111. The structure is simple and easy to assemble, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the electrical control box 200 in the first mounting cavity 101.

[0067] In this embodiment, a first flange 111 is formed at the front end of the right side plate 11 and is detachably connected to the electrical control box 200, so that the installation and removal position of the electrical control box 200 is located near the edge of the outdoor unit 1000. This allows maintenance personnel to easily access the installation and removal position to disassemble and reinstall the outdoor unit 1000 during maintenance work. For example, maintenance personnel can easily access the first flange 111 to disassemble the electrical control box 200, making maintenance operations on the outdoor unit 1000 more convenient.

[0068] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first panel 20 may include a first plate portion 21 and a second plate portion 22 connected together. The first plate portion 21 extends in the front-back direction and is detachably connected to the right side plate 11, and the second plate portion 22 extends in the left-right direction and is detachably connected to the middle partition 12.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first panel 20 includes a first plate portion 21 and a second plate portion 22 connected together. The first plate portion 21 extends in the front-to-back direction and is detachably connected to the right side plate 11. Thus, the first plate portion 21 and the right side plate 11 can cooperate to form the housing 100 structure on the right side of the outdoor unit 1000. The second plate portion 22 extends in the left-to-right direction and is detachably connected to the middle partition 12. Thus, the second plate portion 22 can form the housing 100 structure on the front side of the outdoor unit 1000. The first plate portion 21 and the right side plate 11 can be fastened or snapped together, and the second plate portion 22 and the middle partition 12 can also be fastened or snapped together.

[0070] The first panel 20 of this embodiment includes a first plate portion 21 extending in the front-back direction and a second plate portion 22 extending in the left-right direction. The first plate portion 21 is detachably connected to the right side plate 11, and the second plate portion 22 is detachably connected to the middle partition plate 12. The structure is simple and easy to disassemble. The right side plate 11 is shorter in the front-back direction, so that when the electrical control box 200 is assembled in the first receiving cavity, after the electrical control box 200 is fixed with the first flange 111, it can be easily arranged in the first mounting cavity 101.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first panel 20 is detachably connected to the right side panel 11 and the middle partition 12, so that the first panel 20 can be easily removed from the main housing 10 to open the opening, thereby making it easier and more convenient to remove the electrical control box 200 from the first mounting cavity 101 for maintenance.

[0072] In some examples of this utility model, references Figure 4 , Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, the first plate 21 may be provided with an air inlet 201, and the electrical control box 200 has a heat dissipation duct 210, with the opening of the heat dissipation duct 210 facing the air inlet 201.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first plate 21 is provided with an air inlet 201, and the opening of the heat dissipation duct 210 of the electrical control box 200 faces the air inlet 201. This simple structure allows for good heat dissipation of the electronic components inside the electrical control box 200, ensuring stable and efficient operation. During the operation of the outdoor unit 1000, external air can flow from the air inlet 201 into the heat dissipation duct 210, which, in conjunction with the structure of the heat dissipation duct 210, removes the heat generated inside the electrical control box 200, maintaining a suitable operating temperature range and thus ensuring more stable operation. Optionally, the first plate 21 is provided with an air inlet grille, which is installed at the air inlet 201.

[0074] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first flange 111 may include a first folded edge 1111, which extends toward the first mounting cavity 101 and is detachably connected to the first panel 20.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first flange 111 is provided with a first folded edge 1111. The first folded edge 1111 extends toward the first mounting cavity 101. This can avoid the increased probability of corrosion and damage to the part connecting the electrical control box 200 and the first folded edge 1111 when the first flange 111 extends outward, as well as the first folded edge 1111 protruding outside the housing 100. This allows the first folded edge 1111 to maintain a stable structural state within the first mounting cavity 101, thus providing good protection for the first flange 111. After the first folded edge 1111 is detachably connected and fixed to the first panel 20, it can maintain a stable and good connection state. This allows the first panel 20 to be stably and conveniently detachably connected and fixed to the first flange 111 during the long-term operation of the outdoor unit 1000 of the air conditioner.

[0076] In some examples of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first flange 111 may also include a second folded edge 1112, which is connected to the first folded edge 1111. In the direction from back to front, at least a portion of the second folded edge 1112 extends obliquely away from the right side plate 11.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first flange 111 is provided with a second folded edge 1112 connected to the first folded edge 1111. In the direction from back to front, one end of the second folded edge 1112 is connected to the end of the first folded edge 1111 that is away from the right side plate 11. The other end of the second folded edge 1112 can be formed as a free end. At least part of the second folded edge 1112 extends obliquely away from the right side plate 11. That is to say, the second folded edge 1112 can extend obliquely forward into the first receiving cavity in part, or the second folded edge 1112 can extend obliquely forward into the first receiving cavity as a whole.

[0078] When the outdoor unit 1000 of the air conditioner is assembled, the electrical control box 200 is assembled with the first flange 111. Under the guidance of the second flange 1112, the end of the electrical control box 200 connected to the first flange 111 moves to the first flange 1111 and is connected and fixed to the first flange 1111. When the electrical control box 200 is removed, it moves towards the first mounting cavity 101 under the guidance of the second flange 1112.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first flange 111 is provided with a second folded edge 1112, and the second folded edge 1112 extends at least partially away from the right side plate 11 in the direction from back to front. This can play a good guiding role in the movement of the electrical control box 200 when it is assembled and fixed with the right side plate 11, so that the electrical control box 200 can be easily moved into place to be connected and fixed with the first folded edge 1111. It also makes it easier to remove the electrical control box 200 from the first installer, thereby making the assembly and maintenance of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1000 more convenient.

[0080] In one example of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second folded edge 1112 may include a straight segment 11121 and an inclined segment 11122. The straight segment 11121 extends in the front-back direction and its two ends are connected to the first folded edge 1111 and the inclined segment 11122 respectively. The inclined segment 11122 extends obliquely away from the right side plate 11 in the back-to-forward direction.

[0081] In this embodiment, the second folded edge 1112 includes a straight segment 11121 and an inclined segment 11122. The straight segment 11121 extends in the front-back direction and connects to the first folded edge 1111. This simple structure provides excellent guidance in the front-back direction and good positioning in the left-right direction during the assembly of the control box 200 and the first folded edge 1111, ensuring a more accurate fit between the control box 200 and the first folded edge 1111 after the control box 200 is in place. The straight segment 11121 is connected to the inclined segment 11122, which extends obliquely away from the right side plate 11 in the back-to-forward direction, providing excellent guidance for the assembly of the control box 200 and the right side plate 11.

[0082] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 7 As shown, the angle between the inclined segment 11122 and the straight segment 11121 can be greater than 90° and less than 180°.

[0083] In this embodiment, the angle between the inclined segment 11122 and the straight segment 11121 is greater than 90° and less than 180°, allowing the extension direction of the inclined segment 11122 to be between the front-back direction and the left-right direction, thereby effectively guiding the movement of the electrical control box 200 from front to back toward the first folded edge 1111. For example Figure 7 As shown in the figure, angle α represents the angle between the inclined segment 11122 and the straight segment 11121. α can be 91°, 93°, 94°, 95°, 100°, 150°, 178°, etc.

[0084] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 7 As shown, the angle between the inclined segment 11122 and the straight segment 11121 can be greater than or equal to 120° and less than or equal to 150°.

[0085] In this embodiment, the angle between the inclined segment 11122 and the straight segment 11121 is greater than or equal to 120° and less than or equal to 150°. This ensures that the inclined angle of the inclined segment 11122 extending from back to front away from the right side plate 11 is relatively small. This allows the inclined segment 11122 and the straight segment 11121 to work together to provide stable and reliable guidance for the movement of the electrical control box 200. Furthermore, it avoids the inclined angle of the inclined segment 11122 being too small, which would result in too narrow a movement space for the electrical control box 200 at the inclined segment 11122, leading to difficulties in assembly and disassembly. This makes it easier to assemble and disassemble the electrical control box 200. For example... Figure 7 As shown, α can be 121°, 122°, 125°, 130°, 140°, 148°, etc.

[0086] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 13 As shown, one of the first panel 20 and the first flange 111 may be provided with a first latching protrusion 211 and the other is provided with a first latching hole 1101. The first panel 20 and the first flange 111 are connected by the first latching protrusion 211 and the first latching hole 1101.

[0087] In this embodiment, one of the first panel 20 and the first flange 111 is provided with a first latching protrusion 211 and the other is provided with a first latching hole 1101. The first latching protrusion 211 and the first latching hole 1101 are latched and connected, so that the first panel 20 and the right side panel 11 are latched and fixed. The structure is simple and easy to disassemble.

[0088] In some examples of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 13 As shown, the first flange 111 may be provided with multiple first locking holes 1101, and the multiple first locking holes 1101 are arranged along the vertical direction (e.g., Figure 9As shown in the vertical direction, the first panel 20 is provided with multiple first card protrusions 211, and the multiple first card protrusions 211 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple first card holes 1101.

[0089] In this embodiment, multiple first latching protrusions 211 are provided on the first flange 111 and multiple first latching holes 1101 are provided on the first panel 20 for engagement. The structure is simple and makes the engagement and fixation of the first panel 20 and the right side panel 11 in the vertical direction more stable and reliable. For example, the number of first latching holes 1101 can be two, three, four, etc., and the number of second latching holes 1211 can be two, three, four, etc.

[0090] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 4 As shown, the electrical control box 200 can be positioned vertically (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The electrical control box 200 is installed in the first mounting cavity 101 in the vertical direction shown, and is detachably connected to the middle partition 12 and the right side plate 11 at both ends in the left and right directions, respectively.

[0091] In this embodiment, the electrical control box 200 is vertically installed in the first mounting cavity 101 and detachably connected to the middle partition 12 and the right side plate 11 in the left and right directions. The structure is simple, and installation and disassembly are convenient. Compared to installing it on top of the first mounting cavity 101, the electrical control box 200 can be disassembled simply by removing the first panel 20. Fewer parts require disassembly, making maintenance of the outdoor unit 1000 easier. For example, the electrical control box 200 can be securely connected to or snap-fitted to the middle partition 12 as needed, and the electrical control box 200 can be securely connected to or snap-fitted to the first flange 111 of the right side plate 11.

[0092] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the first panel 20 may have a first mating flange 212 at one end facing the right side panel 11. The first mating flange 212 extends into the first mounting cavity 101 in the left-right direction, and a first latching protrusion 211 is provided on the first mating flange 212.

[0093] In this embodiment, the first panel 20 is provided with a first mating flange 212. The first mating flange 212 extends toward the first mounting cavity 101 and can have a large mating contact surface with the first folded edge 1111 of the first flange 111, so that the first latching protrusion 211 can stably engage with the first latching hole 1101 on the first flange 111.

[0094] In some examples of this utility model, the distance between the end of the electrical control box 200 facing the partition 12 and the partition 12 in the left-right direction can be greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm.

[0095] In this embodiment, the distance between the end of the electrical control box 200 facing the middle partition 12 and the middle partition 12 in the left-right direction is greater than or equal to 2mm. This allows the electrical control box 200 to have a certain amount of leeway at the middle partition 12 for adjustment to eliminate assembly errors when assembling and fixing it with the middle partition 12 and the right side plate 11. This also allows for easy assembly and connection between the electrical control box 200 and the middle partition 12 after it is fixed to the right side plate 11. In this embodiment, the distance between the end of the electrical control box 200 facing the middle partition 12 and the middle partition 12 in the left-right direction is less than or equal to 8mm. This allows for a smaller distance between the electrical control box 200 and the middle partition 12 for easier assembly and fixing. For example, the distance between the end of the electrical control box 200 facing the middle partition 12 and the middle partition 12 in the left-right direction can be 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, etc. Preferably, the distance between the end of the electrical control box 200 facing the partition 12 and the partition 12 in the left-right direction can be greater than or equal to 3mm and less than or equal to 5mm.

[0096] In some examples of this utility model, references Figure 9 and Figure 16 As shown, the first flange 111 may be provided with multiple first fixing holes, and the multiple first fixing holes are arranged along the vertical direction (e.g., Figure 9 As shown in the vertical direction, the electrical control box 200 is provided with multiple first mounting holes at one end facing the right side plate 11. The multiple first mounting holes are arranged one-to-one with the multiple first fixing holes. The electrical control box 200 and the first flange 111 are connected by fasteners through the first mounting holes and the first fixing holes by thread.

[0097] In this embodiment, the first flange 111 is provided with multiple first fixing holes, and the electrical control box 200 is provided with multiple first mounting holes arranged one-to-one with the first fixing holes. The electrical control and the first flange 111 are connected by fasteners passing through the first mounting holes and threaded into the first fixing holes. The structure is simple, the fixation is reliable, and the disassembly is convenient. For example, the number of first fixing holes can be two, three, four, etc., and the number of first mounting holes is correspondingly provided as two, three, four, etc.

[0098] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the housing 100 may further include a second panel 30, which is arranged with the first panel 20 in the left-right direction. The two ends of the second panel 30 are detachably connected to the main housing 10 and the middle partition 12, respectively. The second panel 30 and the main housing 10 cooperate to define a second mounting cavity 102. The end of the first panel 20 connected to the middle partition 12 is located in front of the end of the second panel 30 connected to the middle partition 12.

[0099] In this embodiment, the housing 100 also includes a second panel 30. The second panel 30 and the first panel 20 are arranged in the left-right direction and their two ends are detachably connected to the main housing 10 and the middle partition 12, respectively. The second panel 30 and the main housing 10 cooperate to define the second mounting cavity 102. The structure is simple and can meet the requirements for the accommodation and arrangement of other components of the air conditioner outdoor unit 1000. The second panel 30 is easy to disassemble, which can facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of other components, such as the fan wheel 300.

[0100] One end of the first panel 20 connected to the middle partition 12 is located in front of the end of the second panel 30 connected to the middle partition 12. The structure is simple and the arrangement is reasonable. When the electrical control box 200 needs to be removed for maintenance, the end of the first panel 20 connected to the middle partition 12 can be easily detached without being obstructed by the first panel 20. In other words, when the electrical control box 200 is removed for maintenance, the second panel 30 can maintain a stable connection with the middle partition 12, and the first panel 20 can be removed. This reduces the number of parts that need to be removed when the electrical control box 200 is removed, reduces the disassembly work required by maintenance personnel, and makes the disassembly and maintenance of the outdoor unit 1000 of the air conditioner more convenient and easier.

[0101] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 17 As shown, a flow grille can be provided on the partition plate 12, and the flow grille can be arranged opposite to the heat dissipation duct 210 in the left-right direction. This allows the airflow in the heat dissipation duct 210 to flow smoothly into the second mounting cavity 102 through the flow grille, thereby allowing heat to be discharged from the first mounting cavity 101 and providing good heat dissipation for the electrical control components in the electrical control box 200.

[0102] In some examples of this utility model, such as Figure 8 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the front end of the partition plate 12 may be provided with a second flange 121. One of the first panel 20 and the second flange 121 is provided with a second latching protrusion 221 and the other is provided with a second latching hole 1211. The first panel 20 and the second flange 121 are engaged by the second latching protrusion 221 and the second latching hole 1211.

[0103] In this embodiment, a second flange 121 is provided at the front end of the partition plate 12. One of the first panel 20 and the second flange 121 is provided with a second latching protrusion 221 and the other is provided with a second latching hole 1211. The first panel 20 and the second flange 121 are engaged by the second latching protrusion 221 and the second latching hole 1211. The structure is simple and the connection is convenient, so that the first panel 20 and the partition plate 12 can be easily assembled and disassembled.

[0104] In one example of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 13 and Figure 18 As shown, the first panel 20 may be provided with a plurality of second latching protrusions 221, which are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. The second flange 121 is provided with a plurality of second latching holes 1211, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of second latching protrusions 221.

[0105] In this embodiment, the first panel 20 is provided with a plurality of second latching protrusions 221 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The structure is simple and allows the first panel 20 and the second flange 121 to be connected and fixed more stably and reliably in the vertical direction, so that the first panel 20 can stably cover the opening of the first mounting cavity 101. For example, the number of second latching protrusions 221 can be two, three, four, five, etc., and the number of second latching holes 1211 can be two, three, four, five, etc.

[0106] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, see the figures for reference. Figure 8 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the end of the first panel 20 facing the partition plate 12 may be provided with a second mating flange 222, and the second mating flange 222 is provided with a second locking protrusion 221. This facilitates the processing and arrangement of the second locking protrusion 221 on the first panel 20, so that the second locking protrusion 221 can be easily engaged with the second locking hole 1211 on the second flange 121.

[0107] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 15 As shown, the second mating flange 222 may include a third flange and a fourth flange. The third flange extends in the front-back direction and is connected to the first panel 20 and the fourth flange. The fourth flange extends in the left-right direction toward the first mounting cavity 101. A second latching protrusion 221 is provided on the fourth flange.

[0108] In this embodiment, the second mating flange 222 is provided with a third fold and a fourth fold. The third fold extends in the front-back direction, and the fourth fold extends in the left-right direction, so that the second mating flange 222 can have good structural strength, and the fourth fold can have a large mating contact surface with the second flange 121, so that the second latching protrusion 221 can stably and reliably engage with the second latching hole 1211 on the second flange 121.

[0109] In one example of this utility model, such as Figure 8 and Figure 20 As shown, the second panel 30 may be provided with a third flange 31. The third flange 31 extends toward the right side panel 11 in the left-right direction. The second panel 30 and the middle partition 12 are fastened together by the third flange 31 and the second flange 121. In the left-right direction, the end of the third flange 31 toward the right side panel 11 does not exceed the first flange 111.

[0110] In this embodiment, the second panel 30 is provided with a third flange 31. The third flange 31 extends towards the right side plate 11 in the left-right direction and is fastened to the second flange 121. The structure is simple and facilitates the assembly and fixation of the second panel 30 and the first panel 20 at the second flange 121 of the partition plate 12. The end of the third flange 31 facing the right side plate 11 does not exceed the first flange 111, which can prevent the third flange 31 from extending out of the second flange 121 and blocking the opening of the first mounting cavity 101 after the first panel 20 is removed. This allows the opening of the first mounting cavity 101 to have a large opening size in the left-right direction, so that when the control box 200 is removed, the third flange 31 can be avoided from obstructing the control box 200. This allows the control box 200 to be moved out of the first mounting cavity 101 stably, conveniently and easily, making it more convenient and easier to perform maintenance on the outdoor unit 1000.

[0111] In one example of this utility model, such as Figure 20 As shown, the third flange 31 can be formed with a clearance hole 311, which is arranged correspondingly to the second locking hole 1211 on the second flange 121 and facilitates the connection of the second locking hole 1211 in the front-back direction.

[0112] In this embodiment, the third flange 31 is provided with a clearance hole 311 that communicates with the second locking hole 1211. When the second panel 30 and the first panel 20 are assembled and fixed with the middle partition 12, the second locking protrusion 221 of the first panel 20 can coincide with the third flange 31 of the second panel 30 in the left-right direction. The second locking protrusion 221 can pass through the clearance hole 311 and engage with the second locking hole 1211, thereby making the first panel 20 and the second panel 30 more compact when arranged in the left-right direction. The third flange 31 can also play a structural strengthening role in the engagement of the second locking protrusion 221 and the second locking hole 1211, making the engagement and fixation of the first panel 20 and the second flange 121 more stable and reliable.

[0113] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the dimension of the clearance hole 311 in the vertical direction can be larger than the dimension of the second locking hole 1211 in the vertical direction. This allows the clearance hole 311 to have a larger clearance space when the second locking protrusion 221 passes through it, so that the second locking protrusion 221 can stably engage with the second locking hole 1211.

[0114] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the second latching protrusion 221 can extend upward at an angle from front to back, and the upper edge of the second latching hole 1211 can be higher than the upper edge of the clearance hole 311. It is understood that the second flange 121 and the third flange 31 have a certain thickness. In this embodiment, the upper edge of the second latching hole 1211 is arranged higher than the upper edge of the clearance hole 311, which can make the overall thickness of the second flange 121 and the third flange 31 at the upper edge of the clearance hole 311 smaller. This allows the second latching protrusion 221 to better engage with the second latching hole 1211 in the vertical direction when the second latching protrusion 221 passes through the clearance hole 311 and engages with the second latching protrusion 221. As the first panel 20 moves upward as a whole, the second latching protrusion 221 can better engage with the second latching hole 1211 in the vertical direction.

[0115] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 8 As shown, the third flange 31 may include a fifth flange and a sixth flange. The fifth flange extends toward the central partition 12 in the front-back direction and is connected to the second panel 30 and the sixth flange. The sixth flange extends toward the first mounting cavity 101 in the left-right direction and is provided with a clearance hole 311.

[0116] In this embodiment, the third flange 31 is provided with a fifth fold and a sixth fold. The fifth fold extends in the front-to-back direction, and the sixth fold extends in the left-to-right direction, so that the third flange 31 can have good structural strength and the sixth fold and the second flange 121 can have a large mating contact surface, so that the second panel 30 can be stably and reliably assembled and fixed with the second flange 121.

[0117] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second flange 121 may be provided with a plurality of second fixing holes, the plurality of second mounting holes being arranged at intervals along the vertical direction, the third flange 31 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes, the plurality of second mounting holes being arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of second fixing holes, and the second panel 30 and the middle partition 12 are threadedly connected to the second mounting holes and the second fixing holes by fasteners passing through the second mounting holes.

[0118] In this embodiment, the second panel 30 and the middle partition 12 are connected by fasteners threaded through the second mounting holes and the second fixing holes. The structure is simple, the connection is stable and reliable, and disassembly is convenient. For example, the number of second fixing holes can be two, three, four, etc., and the number of second mounting holes can be set accordingly to two, three, four, etc.
