[0002] As the outdoor heat exchange structure of an air conditioning system, the outdoor unit of an air conditioner uses an axial fan to draw in air from the environment and exchange it with the finned heat exchanger through forced convection when the outdoor air conditioner heat exchanger is air-cooled. The air after convective heat exchange with the finned heat exchanger is then guided through the air outlet and discharged into the air, thus achieving heat exchange. When the air conditioner is cooling, the medium in the outdoor finned heat exchanger is a high-temperature refrigerant, and the air outlet leads out hot air; when the air conditioner is heating, the medium in the outdoor finned heat exchanger is a low-temperature refrigerant, and the air outlet leads out cold air. It is an important working structure of the air conditioning system.

[0003] To protect the fan blades and working parts inside the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, an air outlet grille is installed at the ventilation point of the outdoor unit. There are many types of air outlet grilles, but in terms of installation structure, most air outlet grilles are fixed with screws. Due to the large number of bolts, the disassembly and assembly operation is complicated and very inconvenient to use. In addition, the design of traditional air outlet grilles is mostly relatively simple, resulting in poor airflow during operation, large wind resistance, and significant operating noise. Therefore, a method for quickly installing the air outlet grille of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is proposed. Utility Model Content
