[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1-5 An air conditioner protective cover is applied to an air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and a wall panel 101. The protective cover 200 is mounted on the air conditioner outdoor unit 100. A sunshade 201 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover 200. Ventilation holes 202 are provided on the sides of the protective cover 200. A sliding connection mechanism and a positioning mechanism are arranged between the protective cover 200 and the wall panel 101. A folding protective component is arranged on the protective cover 200. The positioning mechanism includes a fixing buckle 400 and a rotating buckle 401. The fixing buckle 400 is fixedly installed on the side of the wall panel 101. The inner wall of the protective cover 200 is rotatably fitted with a rotating buckle 401. The fixed buckle 400 and the rotating buckle 401 are engaged. The protective cover 200 and the sunshade 201 are used to cover the outside of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, thereby achieving effective protection for the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and reducing damage to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 caused by external factors. At the same time, this device adopts a convenient snap-on installation method, and the installation and replacement of the device are convenient and quick. It does not require the use of a large number of metal bolts for installation, avoiding the difficulty of maintenance caused by bolt corrosion in subsequent maintenance.

[0028] Specifically, a protective cover 200 and a sunshade 201 are used to cover the outside of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, thereby effectively protecting the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and reducing damage to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 caused by external factors. This device adopts a convenient snap-on installation method, making installation and replacement quick and easy. It does not require the use of a large number of metal bolts, avoiding the difficulty of maintenance due to bolt corrosion. The fixing clip 400 and the bottom mounting rail 500 need to be installed on the wall panel 101. Then, the protective cover 200 slides on the bottom mounting rail 500 through the fixing plate 501 and the movable roller 502. When the protective cover 200 is close to the wall panel 101, the fixing clip 400 will move closer to the rotating clip 401, and the fixing clip 400 will push the rotating clip 401 closer to the wall panel 101. 1. Lifting the lever causes the rotating buckle 401 to rotate. The rotating buckle 401 rotates on the drive handle 404 through the rotating hole 405 and the rotating shaft 406. When rotating, the rotating buckle 401 drives the driven plate 407 to rotate through the slide rod 409. The tension spring 410 pulls the rotating buckle 401 closer to the driven plate 407 to ensure that the rotating buckle 401 and the fixed buckle 400 are fully engaged and prevent them from falling off. The rotating buckle 401 slides on the inner wall of the protective cover 200 through the movable groove 402 and the movable block 403, so that the drive handle 404 can drive the movable block 403 and the rotating buckle 401 closer to the fixed buckle 400. The driven plate 407 is restricted by the driven slide groove 411 and the driven slider 412 and can only move within a fixed range.

[0029] Furthermore, the protective cover 200 has a movable groove 402, within which a movable block 403 is slidably installed. A drive handle 404 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable block 403, and a rotating buckle 401 is rotatably installed on the other side of the movable block 403. Specifically, the rotating buckle 401, through the sliding effect of the movable groove 402 and the movable block 403 against the inner wall of the protective cover 200, allows the drive handle 404 to drive the movable block 403 and the rotating buckle 401 closer to the fixed buckle 400.

[0030] Furthermore, the rotating buckle 401 has a rotating hole 405, and a rotating shaft 406 is rotatably mounted in the rotating hole 405. The rotating shaft 406 is fixedly mounted on the side of the movable block 403. Specifically, the rotating buckle 401 achieves the effect of rotating on the drive handle 404 through the rotating hole 405 and the rotating shaft 406.

[0031] Furthermore, a driven plate 407 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 200. A sliding hole 408 is provided on the driven plate 407, and a sliding rod 409 is slidably installed within the sliding hole 408. The sliding rod 409 is fixedly installed on the rotating buckle 401, and a tensioning spring 410 is movably sleeved on the sliding rod 409. Both ends of the tensioning spring 410 are respectively fixedly installed on the driven plate 407 and the rotating buckle 401. Specifically, when the rotating buckle 401 rotates, it drives the driven plate 407 to rotate via the sliding rod 409. The tensioning spring 410 pulls the rotating buckle 401 closer to the driven plate 407, ensuring that the rotating buckle 401 and the fixed buckle 400 are fully engaged and prevent them from falling off.

[0032] Furthermore, the inner wall of the protective cover 200 is provided with a driven slide groove 411, and a driven slider 412 is slidably installed in the driven slide groove 411. The driven slider 412 is fixedly installed on the driven plate 407. Specifically, the driven handle 404 can drive the movable block 403 and the rotating buckle 401 to approach the fixed buckle 400. The driven plate 407 is restricted by the driven slide groove 411 and the driven slider 412, and can only move within a fixed range.

[0033] Furthermore, the sliding connection mechanism includes a bottom mounting rail 500 and a fixing plate 501. The bottom mounting rail 500 is fixedly mounted on the wall panel 101, and the fixing plate 501 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the protective cover 200. A movable roller 502 is fixedly mounted on the bottom side of the fixing plate 501, and the movable roller 502 is adapted to the bottom mounting rail 500. The protective cover 200 slides on the bottom mounting rail 500 through the fixing plate 501 and the movable roller 502.

[0034] Furthermore, the folding protective assembly includes side slide rails 300, both of which are fixedly mounted on the protective cover 200. A fixed base 301 is fixedly mounted at the top of the two side slide rails 300, and a movable traction bar 302 is slidably mounted at the bottom. A folding net 303 is fixedly mounted between the fixed base 301 and the movable traction bar 302. Specifically, the movable traction bar 302 slides between the protective covers 200, thereby enabling the folding net 303 to retract and fold. The unfolding and closing of the folding net 303 is controlled by the movable traction bar 302, ensuring basic protection for the ventilation holes 202 while reducing obstruction to airflow and facilitating maintenance.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
