Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioners, and in particular to an outer packaging and air conditioner kit for air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] After air conditioners are assembled, performance testing is usually required. When transporting the air conditioner to the testing room, it needs to be wrapped in outer packaging to prevent damage during transportation. A common outer packaging method involves placing foam packaging at the bottom of the air conditioner. However, for down-discharge air conditioners, this often blocks the air outlet during packaging, making performance testing impossible. Related technologies often involve directly creating holes in the bottom of the foam packaging to ensure proper airflow. However, creating holes directly in the bottom of the foam packaging can compromise the structural strength of the entire outer packaging, and external dust and grit can easily enter the air conditioner through these holes, damaging it. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide an outer packaging for an air conditioner. According to this utility model, the outer packaging has an air guide channel inside the main body corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The air guide channel has an air inlet located on the supporting surface and an air outlet located on the limiting side wall. Air discharged from the lower air outlet of the air conditioner can enter the air guide channel and be discharged laterally, preventing the outer packaging from blocking the air outlet of the air conditioner, ensuring that the air conditioner can exhaust air normally during testing, and preventing external dust and grit from entering the air conditioner through the air guide channel, thus improving the safety of the air conditioner.

[0004] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner kit including the aforementioned outer packaging.

[0005] The outer packaging of this utility model includes: a main body, the main body having a receiving cavity for placing the air conditioner, the receiving cavity having a supporting surface and a limiting sidewall, the supporting surface for supporting the air conditioner, the limiting sidewall intersecting the supporting surface and located outside the air conditioner; the main body having at least one air guide channel, each air guide channel having an air guide inlet located on the supporting surface and an air guide outlet located on the limiting sidewall.

[0006] The outer packaging of this utility model includes a main body with a cavity for placing the air conditioner. The cavity contains a support surface for supporting the air conditioner and a limiting sidewall for limiting its position. An air inlet is provided on the support surface, and an air outlet is provided on the limiting sidewall. At least one air guide channel is formed within the main body, connecting the air inlet and outlet. When the air conditioner is placed in the cavity and supported by the support surface, the air outlet at the bottom of the air conditioner connects to the air guide inlet. At this time, the air blown from the air outlet can smoothly enter the air guide channel and exit from the outlet. This avoids the problem of traditional packaging foam obstructing the air outlet, causing the entire refrigeration system to be forced to reduce its frequency or even shut down and report errors during air conditioner testing. This ensures that the air conditioner can output air normally during operation testing, meeting the basic requirements of the test. Furthermore, because the air outlet is located on the limiting side wall, the air blown out of the air conditioner's vent will flow along the air guide channel and be discharged to the outside through the air outlet on the limiting side wall. This side-discharge design ensures that the air outlet will not be blocked even when the air conditioner and its outer packaging are placed on a flat surface, guaranteeing normal airflow during testing. Moreover, compared to the traditional method of directly opening an exhaust hole at the bottom of the outer packaging, the side-discharge air guide channel has a longer airflow path, making it less likely for dust and grit from the outside to enter the air conditioner, thus improving its safety.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide channel is formed as a recessed groove facing away from the support surface.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide channel includes a first trough and a second trough arranged intersecting each other. The first trough is provided with the air guide inlet, and the second trough is located on the side wall of the first trough and has the air guide outlet.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple air guide channels, each air guide channel including a first groove and a second groove, and the second grooves of at least two air guide channels extend in a direction away from each other and penetrate the limiting sidewall.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, each of the air guide channels includes a plurality of air guide outlets arranged at intervals.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting sidewall includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall arranged adjacent to each other, and the air guide outlet includes a first outlet and a second outlet, wherein the first outlet is located on the first sidewall and the second outlet is located on the second sidewall.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first outlet penetrates through the first sidewall, the second sidewall is provided with a groove, and the second outlet is provided on the side of the groove opposite to the supporting surface.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple air guide channels, and the portion of the support surface located between adjacent air guide channels is provided with a foolproof protrusion, which is adapted to be embedded in the placement groove at the bottom of the air conditioner.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting sidewall is formed with a clearance notch to avoid the air conditioner.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a foolproof marking is formed on the support surface to indicate the position of the foolproof protrusion.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the error-proof mark is defined by a partial recess in the support surface.

[0017] The following is a brief description of the air conditioner kit according to this utility model.

[0018] The air conditioner kit according to this utility model includes an air conditioner and outer packaging. The air conditioner is provided with an air outlet and can be placed in a receiving cavity and supported on a supporting surface. During installation, the receiving cavity can accommodate the air conditioner, and the supporting surface can stably support the air conditioner, ensuring the stability of the assembly between the air conditioner and the outer packaging. The air outlet of the air conditioner is directly opposite the air guide channel, allowing the air blown out by the air conditioner to smoothly enter the air guide channel and be discharged through the air guide channel, reducing the airflow resistance encountered by the airflow inside the outer packaging, improving the air guiding effect of the air guide channel, and ensuring that the air conditioner can exhaust air normally during testing.

[0019] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner is provided with a placement slot, and the support surface is provided with a foolproof protrusion, which is located in the placement slot.

[0020] In summary, the outer packaging features a cavity on the main body for housing the air conditioner. This cavity includes a support surface for the air conditioner and a limiting side that abuts against the side surface of the air conditioner, improving the stability of the assembly between the air conditioner and the outer packaging. Multiple air guide channels are located within the main body. Each channel has a first and second channel that are interconnected, and at least two adjacent channels have their second channels extending in opposite directions. Each air guide channel corresponds to one air outlet on the air conditioner, ensuring that the air exhausted from the air conditioner can be discharged to the outside through the channel. Each air guide channel has an air inlet on the support surface and an air outlet on the limiting side wall, allowing the airflow from the bottom outlet of the air conditioner to be discharged laterally from the main body. This improves the airflow direction while ensuring normal airflow during air conditioner testing, preventing external dust and grit from entering the air conditioner through the air guide channels and enhancing the air conditioner's safety. The air duct outlets are arranged in multiple, spaced-apart configurations, allowing air to exit from different directions. This improves the airflow guiding effect of the air duct and enables the air conditioner assembly to simulate the actual working environment of the air conditioner, thus improving the accuracy of air conditioner testing. The support surface is equipped with foolproof protrusions and markings, providing visual guidance for installers, reducing installation errors between the air conditioner and its packaging, and improving efficiency.

[0032] 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 are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0033] After air conditioners are assembled, performance testing is usually required. When transporting the air conditioner to the testing room, it needs to be wrapped in outer packaging to prevent damage during transportation. A common outer packaging method involves placing foam packaging at the bottom of the air conditioner. However, for down-discharge air conditioners, this often blocks the air outlet during packaging, making performance testing impossible. Related technologies often involve directly creating holes in the bottom of the foam packaging to ensure proper airflow. However, creating holes directly in the bottom of the foam packaging can compromise the structural strength of the entire outer packaging, and external dust and grit can easily enter the air conditioner through these holes, damaging it.

[0034] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 Description of the outer packaging according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0035] The outer packaging 1 according to this utility model includes: a main body 11, the main body 11 having a receiving cavity 110 for placing an air conditioner, the receiving cavity 110 having a supporting surface 111 and a limiting sidewall 112, the supporting surface 111 for supporting the air conditioner, the limiting sidewall 112 intersecting with the supporting surface 111 and located outside the air conditioner; the main body 11 having at least one air guide channel 12, each air guide channel 12 having an air guide inlet 121 located on the supporting surface 111 and an air guide outlet 122 located on the limiting sidewall 112.

[0036] The outer packaging 1 of this utility model is provided with a main body 11, which is the foundation of the entire outer packaging 1. The main body 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 110 for placing an air conditioner. The receiving cavity 110 is provided with a support surface 111 for supporting the air conditioner and a limiting side wall 112 for limiting the air conditioner. When installing the outer packaging 1, the air conditioner can be placed in the receiving cavity 110. At this time, the support surface 111 contacts the bottom surface of the air conditioner and can support the air conditioner. At the same time, the limiting side wall 112 limits and stops at least a part of the side surface of the air conditioner, ensuring the stability of the air conditioner placed in the receiving cavity 110.

[0037] An air inlet 121 is provided on the support surface 111, and an air outlet 122 is provided on the limiting side wall 112. At least one air guide channel 12 is formed in the body 11 to connect the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 122. When the air conditioner is placed in the accommodating cavity 110 and the support surface 111 supports the air conditioner, the air outlet at the bottom of the air conditioner is connected to the air inlet 121. At this time, the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner can smoothly enter the air guide channel 12 and be blown out from the air outlet 122. This avoids the problem that traditional packaging foam can block the air outlet of the air conditioner, causing the entire cooling system to be forced to reduce frequency or even stop and report errors during the test. This ensures that the air conditioner can blow air normally during operation and testing, and meets the basic requirements of operation and testing. Furthermore, since the air outlet 122 is located on the limiting sidewall 112, the air blown out of the air conditioner's outlet will flow along the air guide channel 12 and be discharged to the outside through the air outlet 122 on the limiting sidewall 112. This side-discharge design ensures that the air conditioner and outer packaging 1 will not have their outlets blocked even when placed on a flat surface, guaranteeing normal airflow during testing. Moreover, compared to the traditional method of directly opening an outlet at the bottom of the outer packaging 1 for exhaust, the air guide channel 12 provides side exhaust and has a longer air guide path, making it less likely for dust and grit from the outside to enter the air conditioner, thus improving the air conditioner's safety.

[0038] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the air guide channel 12 is formed as a recessed groove 120 facing away from the support surface 111. Compared with other forms of air guide channels 12, the method of forming the air guide channel 12 using the recessed groove 120 structure is relatively simple and the manufacturing process is easier to implement, reducing production costs and manufacturing difficulty, and improving production efficiency. Moreover, during the production process, the outer packaging 1 with the recessed groove 120 structure can be directly manufactured through processes such as mold forming, and the integral molding can improve the structural strength of the outer packaging 1. In addition, the recessed groove 120 facing away from the support surface 111 allows the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner to directly enter the recessed groove 120 and flow in the air guide channel 12 formed by the recessed groove 120, which is more direct, has less wind resistance, and allows for smoother airflow, reducing the impact of the outer packaging 1 on the exhaust performance of the air conditioner and improving the accuracy of air conditioner performance testing.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide channel 12 includes a first groove 123 and a second groove 124 arranged intersecting each other. The first groove 123 is provided with an air guide inlet 121, and the second groove 124 is disposed on the side wall of the first groove 123 and has an air guide outlet 122. Figure 1 As shown, the air guiding channel includes a first groove 123 and a second groove 124 that are interconnected. Both the first groove 123 and the second groove 124 are open towards the top. The open portion of the first groove 123 forms an air inlet 121 corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner, ensuring that the air blown out by the air conditioner can enter the air guiding channel 12 through the air inlet 121. The second groove 124 is disposed on the side wall of the first groove 123 and communicates with it to form the air guiding channel 12. The second groove 124 has an air outlet 122, allowing the airflow guided by the air guiding channel 12 to be discharged to the outside through the air outlet 122, ensuring that the air conditioner can work normally during testing. The intersecting first groove 123 and the second groove 124 can be manufactured in one step using processes such as mold forming, making the manufacturing process relatively simple. Compared with some complex air guiding channel structures, this reduces manufacturing steps and processing difficulty, lowers production costs, and improves production efficiency.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple air guide channels 12, each air guide channel 12 including a first groove 123 and a second groove 124. The second grooves 124 of at least two air guide channels 12 extend in a direction away from each other and penetrate through the limiting sidewall 112. Multiple air guide channels 12 can be provided on the main body 11. When dealing with different models of air conditioners, a corresponding number of air guide channels 12 can be set according to actual needs and the number of air outlets of the air conditioner, ensuring that each air outlet of the air conditioner has a corresponding air guide channel 12 for exhaust, avoiding interference between the air discharged from two adjacent air outlets on the air conditioner, and enabling the air discharged from each air outlet of the air conditioner to be discharged to the outside more smoothly.

[0041] The arrangement of multiple air guide channels 12 allows the air blown from the air conditioner outlet to be more evenly distributed among the various air guide channels 12. When the second grooves 124 of at least two air guide channels 12 extend away from each other and penetrate the limiting sidewall 112, the air blown from different air guide channels 12 can diffuse in different directions, avoiding the air from being concentrated in one direction, thus making the air outlet more uniform around the entire outer packaging 1. The design of air outlets in different directions can improve the accuracy of air conditioner performance testing and more realistically reflect the air outlet effect of the air conditioner in actual use. For example, when testing the cooling performance of the air conditioner, air outlets in different directions can make the temperature distribution outside the outer packaging 1 of the air conditioner more uniform, simulating the real situation when the air conditioner is actually working. Each air guide channel 12 can correspond to one air outlet of the air conditioner, so that the actual air outlet of each air outlet can be detected separately, reducing the situation where the air outlet of the air conditioner is insufficient but is not detected due to the influence of the outer packaging 1, thus improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0042] According to one embodiment of this utility model, each air duct 12 includes multiple spaced air outlets 122. In actual use, the airflow from an air conditioner is not concentrated in a single direction but diffuses in multiple directions. Therefore, during the manufacturing of the outer packaging 1, multiple spaced air outlets 122 can be provided on each air duct 12, and the airflow direction of each air outlet 122 can be inconsistent. The design of multiple air outlets 122 allows the air conditioner to be more closely aligned with real-world usage scenarios during operational testing within the outer packaging 1, thereby enabling the test results to more accurately reflect the performance of the air conditioner during actual operation, such as cooling and heating effects, and temperature and humidity uniformity. Furthermore, multiple spaced air outlets 122 can achieve more effective airflow without occupying excessive additional space.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting sidewall 112 includes a first sidewall 1121 and a second sidewall 1122 arranged adjacently, and the air guide outlet 122 includes a first outlet 1221 and a second outlet 1222, with the first outlet 1221 located on the first sidewall 1121 and the second outlet 1222 located on the second sidewall 1122. The first outlet 1221 and the second outlet 1222 are respectively located on the adjacent first sidewall 1121 and second sidewall 1122, which helps to evenly distribute the air blown out by the air conditioner. During operation and testing, the air discharged from the air conditioner outlet can be blown out from the first outlet 1221 and the second outlet 1222, thereby making the airflow distribution within the outer packaging 1 more uniform, further improving the air guiding function of the air guide channel 12, reducing the impact of the outer packaging 1 on the air outlet of the air conditioner, and thus improving the accuracy of air conditioner testing.

[0044] The first sidewall 1121 and the second sidewall 1122 can limit the air conditioner in different directions, improving the stability of the air conditioner when it is assembled into the accommodating cavity 110. Correspondingly, the first outlet 1221 is located on the first sidewall 1121, and the second outlet 1222 is located on the second sidewall 1122, so that the two air outlets 122 are spaced apart from each other and have different air outlet directions. During air conditioner testing, the air outlet state in the actual environment of the air conditioner can be simulated, making the operating test environment more realistic, so that the test results can more accurately reflect the performance of the air conditioner in actual use. Moreover, the fact that the two air outlets 122 are located on different limiting sidewalls 112 can avoid the air outlets 122 being concentrated and affecting the structural strength of the outer packaging 1.

[0045] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a first outlet 1221 penetrates through a first sidewall 1121, and a groove 11221 is provided on the second sidewall 1122. A second outlet 1222 is provided on the side of the groove 11221 facing away from the support surface 111. The design of the first outlet 1221 penetrating through the first sidewall 1121 allows a portion of the airflow to flow directly out of the first outlet 1221 within the air guide channel 12 without changing direction, thus improving the air guide effect of the air guide channel 12. The groove 11221 on the second sidewall 1122 and the second outlet 1222 on the side of the groove 11221 facing away from the support surface 111 create a special channel for air outlet. This can simulate the complex path of air conditioning outlet changing direction and exiting from a specific position after encountering certain obstacles (such as the groove 11221 structure). This makes the operating test environment closer to various air outlet conditions that may occur in actual use, thereby allowing the test results to more comprehensively and accurately reflect the performance of the air conditioner during actual operation, such as the air volume distribution and wind speed changes of the air conditioner under different air outlet paths.

[0046] In addition, in actual processing, the way that the first outlet 1221 passes through the first side wall 1121 can reduce the processing difficulty of the first outlet 1221, eliminating the need for specially shaped openings on the first side wall 1121, making the operation simpler; while the groove 11221 set on the second side wall 1122 has a certain gap with the side surface of the air conditioner, naturally forming the second outlet 1222, making processing more convenient.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple air guide channels 12, and the portion of the support surface 111 located between adjacent air guide channels 12 is provided with a foolproof protrusion 131, which is suitable for embedding into the placement groove at the bottom of the air conditioner. Figure 1As shown, a foolproof protrusion 131 is provided between two adjacent air guide channels 12. Since air conditioners are usually square in structure, they are easy to be installed incorrectly when installing the outer packaging 1 on the production line. The foolproof protrusion 131 can be precisely matched with the placement slot at the bottom of the air conditioner. When installing the air conditioner, simply place the air conditioner in the receiving cavity 110 of the outer packaging 1. If the placement direction of the air conditioner is correct, the foolproof protrusion 131 will automatically embed into the placement slot, achieving quick and accurate positioning. If the placement direction of the air conditioner is incorrect, the foolproof protrusion 131 will lift the air conditioner, allowing the installer to visually discover the installation error and make adjustments. This avoids the situation in the traditional outer packaging 1 where air conditioner assembly errors cannot be detected and corrected in time, affecting subsequent air conditioner testing, and reducing rework and time costs.

[0048] Furthermore, the anti-mistake protrusion 131 is positioned between the support surface 111 and the adjacent air guide channel 12, acting as a reinforcing rib and enhancing the overall structural stability of the outer packaging 1. The design of the air guide channel 12 weakens the strength of the outer packaging 1 to some extent, while the anti-mistake protrusion 131 can compensate for this deficiency, improving the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the outer packaging 1, and better protecting the air conditioner from damage.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting sidewall 112 is formed with a clearance notch 14 to avoid the air conditioner. Figure 3 As shown, a clearance notch 14 is provided on the limiting sidewall 112. Since the outer surface of the air conditioner is not flat and may have some protruding structures, the clearance notch 14 is designed to avoid these protruding structures on the outer surface of the air conditioner, allowing the air conditioner to be smoothly placed into the receiving cavity 110 of the outer packaging 1, achieving precise installation and avoiding installation difficulties or damage to the air conditioner due to space conflicts. For example: Figure 3 The clearance notch 14 shown can avoid the area where fasteners are mounted on the outer surface of the air conditioner, preventing the presence of the outer packaging 1 from affecting the mounting bolts and other fasteners of the air conditioner. In actual processing, some clearance notches 14 can be universally processed (e.g., by reasonably designing the processing position and processing size), thereby adapting to more models of air conditioners on the market.

[0050] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a foolproof marking 132 is formed on the support surface 111 to indicate the position of the foolproof protrusion 131. The foolproof marking 132 clearly and intuitively indicates the position of the foolproof protrusion 131 on the support surface 111. Installers do not need to spend a lot of time on positioning; when installing the air conditioner, they can quickly and accurately place the air conditioner in the position matching the foolproof protrusion 131 simply by following the guidance of the foolproof marking 132, greatly reducing positioning errors during installation and improving installation accuracy. The presence of the foolproof marking 132 provides installers with clear visual cues, effectively preventing installation errors caused by negligence or misjudgment. Even installers unfamiliar with the air conditioner model and outer packaging 1 can correctly install the air conditioner by following the foolproof marking 132, avoiding equipment damage or operational malfunctions caused by installation errors, reducing repeated adjustments due to positioning errors, and significantly shortening the installation time of the air conditioner.

[0051] In some embodiments, the foolproof mark 132 may be an arrow or other pattern. The foolproof mark 132 can provide the installer with a pre-assembly direction. When assembling the air conditioner and the outer packaging 1, the direction of the air conditioner and the outer packaging 1 can be pre-adjusted by the foolproof mark 132 (e.g., an arrow) before installation, which can improve installation efficiency.

[0052] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the foolproof mark 132 is defined by a partial recess in the support surface 111. The foolproof mark 132 formed by the partial recess in the support surface creates a striking visual contrast with the support surface 111, quickly attracting the attention of installers. This recessed mark is highly visible in both well-lit and relatively dark environments, allowing installers to quickly and accurately identify the position of the foolproof protrusion 131, greatly improving the convenience of the installation operation. Furthermore, the recessed structure can have a certain depth and shape, providing installers with clearer directional guidance. For example, the recess may be designed in the shape of an arrow or a line in a specific direction, allowing installers to intuitively determine how the air conditioner should be placed based on the direction of the recess, thereby avoiding installation errors caused by incorrect orientation.

[0053] In addition, the design of the support surface 111 being partially recessed to define the anti-foolproof mark 132 is relatively simple in mold design and manufacturing. For example, it is only necessary to set a raised structure at the corresponding position of the mold, and the recessed mark can be formed on the support surface 111 of the outer packaging 1 through injection molding process. Compared with some complex mark manufacturing processes, it is easy to process and has low cost.

[0054] In some embodiments, the location of the foolproof label 132 may also be labeled or printed with eye-catching words or patterns to improve the recognizability of the foolproof label 132.

[0055] In some embodiments, the support surface 111 may also be provided with some recessed clearance grooves to avoid some protruding structures at the bottom of the air conditioner.

[0056] The following is a brief description of the air conditioner kit according to this utility model.

[0057] The air conditioner kit according to this utility model includes an air conditioner and an outer packaging 1. The air conditioner is provided with an air outlet and can be placed in a receiving cavity 110 and supported on a supporting surface 111. During installation, the receiving cavity 110 can accommodate the air conditioner, and the supporting surface 111 can stably support the air conditioner, ensuring the stability of the assembly between the air conditioner and the outer packaging 1. The air outlet of the air conditioner is directly opposite the air guide channel 12, allowing the air blown out by the air conditioner to smoothly enter the air guide channel 12 and be discharged through the air guide channel 12, reducing the airflow resistance within the outer packaging 1, improving the air guiding effect of the air guide channel 12, and ensuring that the air conditioner can exhaust air normally during testing.

[0058] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the air conditioner is provided with a placement slot, and the support surface 111 is provided with a foolproof protrusion 131, which is located within the placement slot. The foolproof protrusion 131 on the support surface 111 cooperates with the placement slot on the air conditioner, providing a clear positioning for the installation of the air conditioner in the outer packaging 1. Installers can quickly and accurately find the installation position of the air conditioner, align the foolproof protrusion 131 with the placement slot, and avoid installation deviations caused by inaccurate positioning. This unique structure of the foolproof protrusion 131 plays a foolproof role. Only when the foolproof protrusion 131 is correctly inserted into the placement slot of the air conditioner can the air conditioner be stably placed in the receiving cavity 110 of the outer packaging 1. Otherwise, the air conditioner will be pushed up by the foolproof protrusion 131 and cannot be installed normally, effectively preventing incorrect installation of the air conditioner and improving the accuracy and reliability of installation. In addition, the anti-fouling boss 131 is located in the placement slot, which can provide an additional support point for the air conditioner, increase the contact area between the air conditioner and the outer packaging 1, and can limit the air conditioner on the support surface 111 to prevent the air conditioner from shaking and shifting relative to the support surface 111, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioner in the outer packaging 1.

[0059] In summary, the outer packaging 1 has a receiving cavity 110 for placing the air conditioner on the main body 11. The receiving cavity 110 has a support surface 111 for supporting the air conditioner and a limiting side that abuts against the side surface of the air conditioner, which improves the stability of the assembly between the air conditioner and the outer packaging 1. The main body 11 has multiple air guide channels 12. Each air guide channel 12 has a first groove 123 and a second groove 124 that are connected to each other. At least two adjacent air guide channels 12 have the second grooves 124 extending in opposite directions. Each air guide channel 12 can correspond to an air outlet on the air conditioner, ensuring that the air discharged by the air conditioner can be discharged to the outside through the air guide channel 12. Each air guide channel 12 has an air guide inlet 121 located on the support surface 111 and an air guide outlet 122 located on the limiting sidewall 112, allowing the airflow from the bottom air outlet of the air conditioner to be discharged laterally from the main body 11. This improves the airflow direction while ensuring normal airflow during air conditioner testing, preventing external dust and grit from entering the air conditioner through the air guide channel 12, thus enhancing the air conditioner's safety. The air guide outlets 122 are multiple and spaced apart, allowing air to exit from different directions, improving the airflow guiding effect of the air guide channel 12. This also allows the air conditioner assembly to simulate the actual working environment of the air conditioner, improving the accuracy of air conditioner testing. The support surface 111 is equipped with a foolproof protrusion 131 and a foolproof marking 132, providing visual guidance for installers, reducing installation errors between the air conditioner and the outer packaging 1, and improving efficiency.
