[0048] 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.

[0049] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1-20 Description of an outdoor air conditioning unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 According to the first aspect of the present invention, an outdoor unit 100 for an air conditioner includes a housing 10 and an electrical control box 20.

[0051] Specifically, the housing 10 includes: a housing body 11 and a first front side plate 14, the housing body 11 defining a first mounting cavity 111, and the front side of the housing body 11 (e.g., Figure 2 The front side of the shell body 11 (shown) has an open opening 113 communicating with the first mounting cavity 111. The first front side plate 14 is detachably connected to the shell body 11 and covers the open opening 113. A portion of the first mounting cavity 111 is formed as an electrical control box mounting area. The electrical control box 20 is disposed in the electrical control box mounting area and is detachably connected to the shell body 11. In the direction from back to front, the electrical control box mounting area is oriented in the left-right direction (e.g., ...). Figure 2 The width (as shown in the left and right directions) gradually increases.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the shell body 11 defines a first mounting cavity 111 inside. An open opening 113 extending through the shell 10 in the front direction is formed on the front side of the shell body 11, communicating with the first mounting cavity 111. The front portion of the first mounting cavity 111 forms an electrical control box mounting area, which has a structure with a gradually increasing opening. Preferably, the electrical control box 20 and the first front side plate 14 can be connected to the shell body 11 by screwing, snapping, or riveting, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the first front side plate 14 from the shell body 11, and also facilitating the installation and removal of the electrical control box 20 from the shell body 11.

[0053] When using the existing air conditioner outdoor unit 100, if the electrical control box 20 malfunctions or needs routine maintenance, the top cover needs to be removed before the electrical control box 20 can be taken out of the housing 10. However, in existing buildings, due to the height limitation of the equipment platform of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, the disassembly tools cannot be properly inserted to the bolt positions, thus making it impossible to properly disassemble the top cover. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the electrical control box 20, and thus cannot meet the needs of after-sales maintenance.

[0054] When using the outdoor unit 100 of this application, during maintenance of the electrical control box 20, the first front panel 14 is first disassembled from the main body 11. Since the first front panel 14 faces directly to the external space, the disassembly tool can directly remove the connection parts of the first front panel 14, thus ensuring that the removal of the first front panel 14 is no longer limited by the height of the equipment platform. After the first front panel 14 is separated from the main body 11, the opening 113 is exposed. Then, the electrical control box installation area is entered through the opening 113, and the electrical control box 20 is disassembled from the electrical control box installation area through the opening 113, thereby allowing for maintenance of the electrical control box 20.

[0055] The outdoor unit 100 of this utility model is provided with a first front side plate 14, which is detachably connected to the main body 11. This ensures that maintenance personnel can directly access the connection between the first front side plate 14 and the main body 11, thus ensuring that the first front side plate 14 can be disassembled normally. Therefore, the electrical control box 20 can be removed through the open opening 113, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the electrical control box 20 and saving maintenance time. Furthermore, the height of the equipment platform does not need to be considered, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance and improving maintenance efficiency. Moreover, the width of the electrical control box installation area gradually increases in the direction of electrical control box 20 removal, facilitating the disassembly of the electrical control box 20 and ensuring that the electrical control box 20 can be removed from the electrical control box installation area.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the outdoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is provided with a first front side plate 14, which is detachably connected to the housing body 11. This ensures that the first front side plate 14 can be disassembled normally, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the electrical control box 20, saving maintenance time, reducing maintenance difficulty, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The shell body 11 includes: a central partition 12 and a right side plate 13, the central partition 12 and the right side plate 13 being aligned in the left-right direction (e.g., Figure 3 The first mounting cavity 111 is formed between the middle partition 12 and the right side plate 13, and the surfaces of the middle partition 12 and the right side plate 13 arranged facing each other in the left and right directions form the left and right side walls of the first mounting cavity 111. The electrical control box mounting area extends from the left side wall to the right side wall of the first mounting cavity 111.

[0058] In this way, the middle partition 12 and the right side panel 13 cooperate to form the first mounting cavity 111, eliminating the need for an additional first mounting cavity 111. This reduces the number of components used and lowers production costs. At the same time, it also improves the functional integration of the middle partition 12 and the right side panel 13. In addition, the electrical control box mounting area is positioned reasonably in the first mounting cavity 111, which facilitates the arrangement of the electrical control box 20.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the middle partition 12 and the right side plate 13 are arranged at intervals in the left and right direction. The middle partition 12 is located on the left side of the right side plate 13. The first mounting cavity 111 is located in the space defined by the middle partition 12 and the right side plate 13. The right side wall of the middle partition 12 forms the left side wall of the first mounting cavity 111, and the left side wall of the right side plate 13 forms the right side wall of the first mounting cavity 111.

[0060] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The front end of the partition 12 (e.g. Figure 11 The front end of the partition 12 shown is formed as a first inclined section 121, and the first inclined section 121 faces the side surface of the right side plate 13 (e.g., Figure 11 The right side surface of the partition plate 12 shown is formed as a first inclined surface 1211, which extends gradually away from the right side plate 13 in the direction from back to front.

[0061] In this way, the first inclined section 121 provides space for the arrangement of the first inclined surface 1211, which facilitates the arrangement of the first inclined surface 1211. At the same time, the extension direction of the first inclined surface 1211 is reasonable. In the disassembly direction of the electrical control box 20, the first inclined surface 1211 makes the electrical control box installation area form a funnel shape with a gradually increasing opening, which facilitates the disassembly of the electrical control box 20, thereby facilitating after-sales maintenance, saving maintenance time, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the front end of the partition 12 is formed as a first inclined segment 121, and the right side surface of the first inclined segment 121 is formed as a first inclined surface 1211. In the direction from back to front, the first inclined surface 1211 extends to the left.

[0063] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 11 The first inclined surface 1211 is a plane that gradually extends away from the right side plate 13 in the direction from back to front. As a result, the plane can ensure the flatness of the cavity wall of the electrical control box mounting area, thereby ensuring the smooth installation and disassembly of the electrical control box 20. At the same time, the plane structure is simple, which can facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the first inclined surface 1211, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the first inclined surface 1211.

[0064] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 11 The angle between the surface of the first inclined surface 1211 and the left-right direction is 93°-100°. Therefore, limiting the angle of the first inclined surface 1211 avoids the inclination angle being too small, which would affect the installation and removal of the electrical control box 20, thus facilitating its installation and removal. Conversely, it avoids the inclination angle being too large, which would affect the space in the electrical control box installation area, thus ensuring sufficient space within the installation area to allow the electrical control box 20 to be installed.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the angle between the first inclined surface 1211 and the left and right directions can be 93°, 94°, 95°, 96°, 97°, 98°, 99° or 100°.

[0066] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 11 The partition 12 also includes: a first section 122, a second section 123, and a third section 124. Specifically, one end of the first section 122 (e.g., Figure 11The front end of the first segment 122 shown is connected to the rear end of the first inclined segment 121 (as shown). Figure 11 The rear end of the first inclined segment 121 shown), the other end of the first segment 122 (as shown) Figure 11 The rear end of the first segment 122 (as shown) extends backwards away from the right side plate 13; the second segment 123 extends in the front-back direction, and the front end of the second segment 123 (as shown) extends backwards away from the right side plate 13. Figure 11 The front end of the second segment 123 shown) and the rear end of the first segment 122 (as shown) Figure 11 The first segment 122 shown is connected to the rear end of the third segment 124 (as shown in the diagram). Figure 11 The front end of the third segment 124 shown) and the rear end of the second segment 123 (as shown) Figure 11 The second segment 123 shown is connected to the rear end, and the other end of the third segment 124 is connected to the rear end (as shown). Figure 9 The rear end of the third segment 124 shown extends backward and tilted toward the right side plate 13.

[0067] Thus, the first segment 122 extends rearward, avoiding the structure within the first mounting cavity 111, thereby facilitating the installation of the structure within the first mounting cavity 111. Simultaneously, the second segment 123 extends in a reasonable direction, ensuring sufficient space in the first mounting cavity 111 in the front-rear direction, thus facilitating the arrangement of the internal structure of the housing 10. Furthermore, the third segment 124 has a reasonable tilt angle, limiting the space at the rear of the first mounting cavity 111, thereby avoiding the structure on the left side of the partition plate 12, and ensuring the rationality of the interior of the housing 10. In addition, the first tilted segment 121, the first segment 122, the second segment 123, and the third segment 124 work together to form a complete partition plate 12, ensuring the overall strength of the partition plate 12 and effectively preventing damage to it.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 11 and Figure 9 As shown, one end of the first segment 122 is connected to the rear end of the first inclined segment 121, and the other end of the first segment 122 extends backward at an incline away from the right side plate 13. The second segment 123 extends in the front-back direction, and the front end of the second segment 123 is connected to the rear end of the first segment 122. The front end of the third segment 124 is connected to the rear end of the second segment 123, and the rear end of the third segment 124 extends backward and towards the right side plate 13 at an incline. The incline angle of the third segment 124 is greater than that of the first inclined segment 121, thereby ensuring that the third segment 124 provides sufficient clearance space for the space on the left side of the partition plate 12.

[0069] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 11 and Figure 2The first segment 122 is connected to the first inclined segment 121 and the second segment 123 by rounded arcs. Therefore, the rounded arc connection can ensure the flatness of the connection between the first segment 122 and the adjacent structure, effectively avoid the impact of sharp corners on the adjacent structure of the middle partition 12, and at the same time, the use of rounded arc connection can effectively disperse stress concentration points, improve the strength and service life of the parts.

[0070] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 4 The electrical control box mounting area is located on the front side of the first mounting cavity 111 (e.g., Figure 2 The electrical control box 20 is vertically positioned in the electrical control box mounting area, located on the front side of the first mounting cavity 111 and adjacent to the open opening 113. This placement of the electrical control box 20 is reasonable; when disassembling the first front panel 14, the entire electrical control box 20 can be directly observed, facilitating its disassembly. Furthermore, the vertical orientation of the electrical control box 20, perpendicular to its disassembly direction, allows direct observation of whether its edges collide with adjacent structures, further facilitating its placement.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrical control box 20 is located on the front side of the first installation area and is located near the open opening 113. The electrical control box 20 is vertically arranged in the up-down direction. The electrical control box 20 includes an electrical control board 21, which is vertically arranged inside the electrical control box 20.

[0072] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 5 The end of the partition 12 facing the first front side panel 14 (e.g.) Figure 2 The front end of the partition 12 shown has a first flange 125 extending away from the right side panel 13. The first front side panel 14 has a second flange 141 extending left and right. The first flange 125 and the second flange 141 are detachably connected. Therefore, the first flange 125 is positioned appropriately, facilitating its engagement with the second flange 141. Simultaneously, the detachable connection of the first flange 125 and the second flange 141 ensures that the first front side panel 14 can be separated from the partition 12. Furthermore, the extension direction of the first flange 125 is reasonable, ensuring that it does not obstruct the installation space of the electrical control box 20, thus guaranteeing the rationality of its placement.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 5As shown, the front end of the partition 12 is provided with a first flange 125, which extends in the left and right direction. The right end of the first flange 125 is connected to the front end of the partition 12, and the left end of the first flange 125 extends to the left. The left end of the first front side plate 14 is provided with a second flange 141, which is parallel to the extension direction of the first flange 125. The left end of the second flange 141 is connected to the first front side plate 14, and the right end of the second flange 141 extends to the right.

[0074] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 9 , Figure 15 and Figure 5 One of the first flange 125 and the second flange 141 has a first buckle 1411 formed on it, and the other has a first locking hole 1252 formed on it. That is, the first buckle 1411 can be formed on the first flange 125 and the first locking hole 1252 can be formed on the second flange 141, or the first buckle 1411 can be formed on the second flange 141 and the first locking hole 1252 can be formed on the first flange 125. The first buckle 1411 extends into the first locking hole 1252. Therefore, the matching structure of the first buckle 1411 and the first locking hole 1252 is simple and easy to operate, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first flange 125 and the second flange 141. At the same time, the simple structure of the first buckle 1411 and the first locking hole 1252 facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the first flange 125 and the second flange 141.

[0075] For example, such as Figure 9 , Figure 15 and Figure 5 As shown, a first buckle 1411 is formed on the first flange 125, and a first locking hole 1252 is formed on the second flange 141, with the first buckle 1411 extending into the first locking hole 1252.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 , Figure 15 , Figure 18 and Figure 6 As shown, the first flange 125 is provided with a first fixing hole 1251. The shell body 11 may include: a second front side plate 15, the second front side plate 15 and the first front side plate 14 are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions, the second front side plate 15 is located on the left side of the first front side plate 14, the right end of the second front side plate 15 is provided with a fifth flange 151, the fifth flange 151 is provided with a second fixing hole 1511, the second fixing hole 1511 and the first fixing hole 1251 are directly opposite each other in the front and back directions, and fasteners pass through the first fixing hole 1251 and the second fixing hole 1511 to fix the second front side plate 15 to the middle partition plate 12.

[0077] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 12 , Figure 15 andFigure 15 The end of the first front panel 14 adjacent to the right side panel 13 (e.g. Figure 6 The right end of the first front panel 14 shown has a third flange 142 extending left and right, and the right side panel 13 has a fourth flange 131 extending left and right. The third flange 142 and the fourth flange 131 are detachably connected. Thus, the third flange 142 is positioned reasonably, which facilitates the cooperation between the first flange 125 and the second flange 141. At the same time, the detachable connection between the third flange 142 and the fourth flange 131 ensures that the first front panel 14 can be separated from the right side panel 13.

[0078] For example, such as Figure 12 , Figure 15 and Figure 6 As shown, the right end of the first front side panel 14 is provided with a third flange 142, which extends in the left and right direction. The right end of the third flange 142 is connected to the first front side panel 14, and the left end of the third flange 142 extends to the left. The front end of the right side panel 13 is provided with a fourth flange 131, which extends in the same direction as the third flange 142. The right end of the fourth flange 131 is connected to the front end of the right side panel 13, and the left end of the fourth flange 131 extends to the left.

[0079] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 12 , Figure 15 and Figure 6 One of the third flange 142 and the fourth flange 131 has a second buckle 1421 formed on it, and the other has a second locking hole 1312 formed on it. That is, the second buckle 1421 can be formed on the third flange 142 and the second locking hole 1312 can be formed on the fourth flange 131, or the second buckle 1421 can be formed on the fourth flange 131 and the second locking hole 1312 can be formed on the third flange 142. The second buckle 1421 extends into the second locking hole 1312. Therefore, the matching structure of the second buckle 1421 and the second locking hole 1312 is simple and easy to operate, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the third flange 142 and the fourth flange 131. At the same time, the simple structure of the second buckle 1421 and the second locking hole 1312 facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the third flange 142 and the fourth flange 131.

[0080] For example, such as Figure 12 , Figure 15 and Figure 6 As shown, a second buckle 1421 is formed on the third flange 142, and a second locking hole 1312 is formed on the fourth flange 131. The second buckle 1421 is inserted into the second locking hole 1312.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 , Figure 12 , Figure 20 andFigure 4 As shown, the fourth flange 131 is provided with a third fixing hole 1311, and the right end of the electrical control box 20 is provided with a fourth fixing hole 22. The fourth fixing hole 22 and the third fixing hole 1311 are directly opposite each other in the front-back direction. Fasteners pass through the third fixing hole 1311 and the fourth fixing hole 22 to fix the electrical control box 20 on the right side plate 13.

[0082] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 14 and Figure 14 The third flange 142 extends toward the central partition 12 and is located on the front side of the electrical control box 20. One end of the third flange 142 facing the central partition 12 (e.g. Figure 4 The front end of the partition plate 12 shown has a forward-extending guide flange 1313. In the direction from back to front, at least a portion of the guide flange 1313 extends obliquely toward one side of the partition plate 12. That is, either a portion of the guide flange 1313 extends obliquely toward one side of the partition plate 12, or the entire guide flange 1313 extends obliquely toward one side of the partition plate 12.

[0083] In this way, the third flange 142 can limit the electrical control box 20 in the electrical control box mounting area, thereby preventing the electrical control box 20 from detaching from the electrical control box mounting area. At the same time, the third flange 142 is provided with a guide side, which can guide the electrical control box 20 when disassembling it, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the electrical control box 20. The guide flange 1313 can also reduce the collision or friction between the electrical control box 20 and the third flange 142, thereby protecting the electrical control box 20. Furthermore, the guide flange 1313 has a reasonable inclination direction, thereby ensuring sufficient lateral distance between the third flange 142 and the internal structure of the first mounting cavity 111, thus ensuring that the electrical control box 20 can be disassembled normally.

[0084] For example, such as Figure 6 , Figure 14 and Figure 3 As shown, the third flange 142 extends toward the middle partition 12. The third flange 142 is located on the front side of the electrical control box 20. The left end of the third flange 142 is provided with a forward-extending guide flange 1313. In the direction from back to front, part of the guide flange 1313 extends obliquely toward the middle partition 12.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 3 A fan mounting cavity 112 is formed within the housing 10, and the fan mounting cavity 112 and the electrical control box mounting area are located within the housing 10 along a first direction (e.g., Figure 3The fans are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions as shown. Thus, the fans 30 can be installed in the fan mounting cavity 112, which facilitates the arrangement of the fan mounting cavity 112. At the same time, the internal structure of the housing 10 is reasonably arranged, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the housing 10.

[0086] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 1 As shown, a fan mounting cavity 112 is formed inside the housing 10. The fan mounting cavity 112 and the electrical control box mounting area are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions inside the housing 10. The fan mounting cavity 112 is located on the left side of the electrical control box mounting area.

[0092] The partition 12 includes a first inclined segment 121, a first segment 122, a second segment 123, and a third segment 124. Specifically, the front end of the partition 12 is formed as the first inclined segment 121, and the surface of the first inclined segment 121 facing the right side plate 13 is formed as a first inclined surface 1211. In the direction from back to front, the first inclined surface 1211 gradually extends away from the right side plate 13. The front end of the first segment 122 is connected to the rear end of the first inclined segment 121, and the rear end of the first segment 122 extends backward inclinedly away from the right side plate 13. The second segment 123 extends in the front-back direction, and the front end of the second segment 123 is connected to the rear end of the first segment 122. The front end of the third segment 124 is connected to the rear end of the second segment 123, and the rear end of the third segment 124 extends backward and inclinedly towards the right side plate 13. The first segment 122 is connected to the first inclined segment 121 and the second segment 123 by an arc.

[0093] The first inclined section 121 has a first flange 125 at its front end, which extends away from the right side plate 13. The first flange 125 has a first locking hole 1252. The left end of the first front side plate 14 has a second flange 141 extending left and right. The left end of the first flange 125 has a first buckle 1411 that extends into the first locking hole 1252. The first flange 125 has a first fixing hole 1251. The right end of the second front side plate 15 has a fifth flange 151 with a second fixing hole 1511. Fasteners pass through the first fixing hole 1251 and the second fixing space to fix the second front side plate 15 to the middle partition plate 12.
