[0034] In this application, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described as "exemplary" in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0035] This application provides an air guide structure 100, such as... Figures 1 to 7As shown, the air guiding structure 100 includes an air guiding hood 110 and a cover plate 120. The air guiding hood 110 has an air inlet 111 on its front side and an air outlet 112 on its top. The cover plate 120 is located above the air outlet 112 and is inclined downward toward the rear side of the air guiding hood 110. The projection of the cover plate 120 on the air guiding hood 110 in the vertical direction covers the air outlet 112.

[0036] The air guide structure 100 provided in this application embodiment provides a cover plate 120 above the air outlet 112 of the air guide cover 110, and the cover plate 120 is inclined downward toward the rear side of the air guide cover 110. The projection of the cover plate 120 on the air guide cover 110 in the vertical direction covers the air outlet 112, so that the cover plate 120 blocks the air outlet 112 while there is a gap between the cover plate 120 and the air outlet 112, and the airflow can flow out through the gap, thereby reducing the entry of debris or rainwater into the air guide cover 110, while not affecting the normal air outlet.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the air guide shroud 110 includes an arc-shaped air guide wall 113, a left side wall 114, and a right side wall 115. The left side wall 114 and the right side wall 115 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the arc-shaped air guide wall 113. The left side wall 114, the right side wall 115, and the arc-shaped air guide wall 113 form an air guide cavity 116, and the ventilation area of ​​the air guide cavity 116 gradually increases from bottom to top. This arrangement makes the air guide shroud 110 form an arc-shaped structure that gradually widens from bottom to top, thereby better guiding the airflow upward and preventing direct blowing.

[0038] Optionally, the top of the air guide shroud 110 is provided with multiple support rods 190, and the cover plate 120 is supported on the multiple support rods 190, so that there is a gap between the cover plate 120 and the air outlet 112. For example, the top of the air guide shroud 110 is provided with support rods 190 at the four corners corresponding to the air outlet 112, and the cover plate 120 is supported by the four support rods 190.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the cover 120 includes a fixed part 121 and a movable part 122. The fixed part 121 has an installation port 1211, and the movable part 122 is detachably sealed to the installation port 1211. By setting the movable part 122 to detachably seal to the installation port 1211 of the fixed part 121, users can choose the material of the movable part 122 according to their actual needs. When the movable part 122 is made of a material without through holes, the rainproof effect is better, and the air outlet of the wind deflector 110 is obliquely upward (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown); when the movable part 122 is made of a material with through holes (such as a filter), the air outlet of the air guide shroud 110 is straight upward, resulting in faster air outlet efficiency (as shown). Figure 7 (As shown).

[0040] Optionally, both sides of the mounting port 1211 are provided with sliding grooves, and the two side edges of the movable part 122 are slidably inserted into the sliding grooves on both sides of the mounting port 1211, that is, the two side edges of the movable part 122 are inserted into the sliding grooves on both sides and can slide along the corresponding sliding grooves, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the movable part 122 and the fixed part 121. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the movable part 122 and the fixed part 121 can also be connected by screws, hinges or buckles, which can also realize the detachable connection between the movable part 122 and the fixed part 121.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a baffle 117 is provided at the lower end of the air inlet 111. The baffle 117 and the lower end of the air guide shroud 110 form a water tank 101. A drain outlet 102 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 101, and a drain pipe 103 is connected to the drain outlet 102. By setting the drain outlet 102 and the drain pipe 103, the water accumulated in the water tank 101 can be drained in a timely manner.

[0042] Specifically, when the air guide structure 100 is applied to the outdoor unit of an air conditioner, a one-way valve can be installed on the drain pipe 103, and a three-way pipe 220 can be used to connect the drain pipe 103 to the chassis drain pipe 103 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. This allows the water accumulated in the water tank 101 to be drained into the chassis 210 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in a timely manner, preventing water from flowing back into the exhaust port 201 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and affecting the normal operation of the outdoor unit.

[0043] Optionally, the outer surface of the baffle 117 is provided with a first sponge 131, and the surfaces of the air guide shroud 110 located on both sides of the air inlet 111 are provided with a second sponge 132. By providing the first sponge 131 and the second sponge 132, when the air guide shroud 110 is installed on the casing 200 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the first sponge 131 and the second sponge 132 are located between the air guide shroud 110 and the casing 200 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby reducing vibration noise.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 8-10 As shown, the air guide shroud 110 is a horn-like structure that can extend and retract left and right, meaning the air guide shroud 110 is a horn-like structure that can extend and retract in the left and right direction. The cover plate 120 is detachably mounted above the air outlet 112. By setting the air guide shroud 110 as a horn-like structure that can extend and retract left and right, the width of the air guide shroud 110 can be adjusted. Since the cover plate 120 is detachably mounted above the air outlet 112, cover plates 120 of different sizes can be replaced to fit the air guide shroud 110. Therefore, the air guide structure 100 can be compatible with air conditioner outdoor unit models of different widths, thus expanding its application range. Specifically, when the air guide shroud 110 includes an arc-shaped air guide wall 113, a left side wall 114, and a right side wall 115, the arc-shaped air guide wall 113 is set as a horn-like structure that can extend and retract in the left and right direction.

[0045] Optionally, the lower end of the air guide shroud 110 is provided with a water tank 101 having a drain outlet 102, such as... Figures 8-12 As shown, the air guide structure 100 also includes an agitator 140, a rope 150, and multiple pulleys 160. The agitator 140 is disposed in the water tank 101, and the pulleys 160 are disposed on the side wall of the air guide cover 110. The rope 150 is wound around the multiple pulleys 160, with one end of the rope 150 connected to the agitator 140 and the other end extending outside the air guide cover 110. Specifically, by pulling the rope 150, the user moves the agitator 140 within the water tank 101, which agitates the accumulated water and deposited debris in the water tank 101. This allows the debris to be discharged from the drain outlet 102 with the water flow, thus cleaning the water in the water tank 101 and clearing the debris, extending the service life of the air guide cover 110.

[0046] Optionally, the air guide structure 100 also includes two springs 170. One end of each spring 170 is connected to both ends of the agitator 140, and the other end of each spring 170 is connected to the two opposite sidewalls of the air guide cover 110. One of the springs 170 is sleeved on the rope 150. By setting springs 170 at both ends of the agitator 140, when the user releases the rope 150, the agitator 140 can return to its original position under the elastic force of the springs 170, making operation more convenient. At the same time, the springs 170 can also constrain the movement of the agitator 140, preventing the agitator 140 from flipping over during movement.

[0047] Optionally, a pull ring 151 is connected to one end of the rope 150 that extends outside the air guide 110. The pull ring 151 makes it easy for the user to pull the rope 150.

[0048] Optionally, the surface of the agitator 140 facing the air outlet 112 is a convex arc-shaped surface 141, which can guide the airflow in the guide shroud to the air outlet 112, thereby improving the airflow efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, a drain outlet 102 is located on the front side of the water tank 101, and a filter box 180 is detachably connected to the drain outlet 102 (e.g., Figure 11 and Figure 13 (As shown). By installing a removable filter box 180 at the drain outlet 102, the filter box 180 can filter the water discharged from the drain outlet 102. When there is a lot of debris in the filter box 180, the filter box 180 can be removed, the debris in the filter box 180 can be cleaned and then reinstalled to avoid blockage caused by too much debris, which would affect normal drainage.

[0050] Specifically, when the air guide structure 100 is applied to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the drain outlet 102 and the filter box 180 are located above the chassis 210 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, so that the water accumulated in the water tank 101 can be drained into the chassis 210 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in a timely manner, preventing water from flowing back into the exhaust outlet 201 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and affecting the normal operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0051] This application also provides an outdoor unit for an air conditioner, such as... Figures 2 to 13 As shown, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes a casing 200 and an air guide structure 100. The specific structure of the air guide structure 100 is as described in the above embodiment. An exhaust port 201 is provided on the side wall of the casing 200, and the air guide structure 100 covers the exhaust port 201, with the air inlet 111 of the air guide structure 100 communicating with the exhaust port 201. Since this outdoor unit of the air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0052] Specifically, the housing 200 has a first mounting portion around the exhaust vent 201, and the air guide shroud 110 has a second mounting portion 118. The air guide shroud 110 cooperates with the first mounting portion around the exhaust vent 201 through the second mounting portion 118 to cover the exhaust vent 201 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. A fan 240 is installed inside the housing 200, and the fan 240 is used to drive the airflow through the exhaust vent 201 to the air inlet 111 of the air guide shroud 110. Optionally, the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion 118 can be connected by screws or clips.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
