[0050] As shown in Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the surrounding plate assembly 101 further comprises at least one bending portion 23, the bending portion 23 is arranged at the first connecting hole 22 and is an integral structure with the side plate 20, the bending portion 23 is arranged in layers with the side plate 20, the bending portion 23 has a third connecting hole 231, and the fastener is threaded through the third connecting hole 231.
[0051] It can be understood that, in order to improve the contact connection between the side plate 20 and the fastener, a part of the side plate 20 on the periphery of the first connecting hole 22 can be bent to be stacked with the side plate 20 through a punching and bending process to form a bent portion 23, and a third connecting hole 231 coaxially arranged with the first connecting hole 22 and the second connecting hole 131 is arranged on the bent portion 23, and the fastener is sequentially arranged in the second connecting hole 131, the first connecting hole 22 and the third connecting hole 231, so that the contact area between the fastener and the side plate 20 is increased, and the reliability of the connection between the two is improved. Specifically, the third connecting hole 231 can also be a bolt hole, which increases the screwing area between the bolt and the side plate 20.
[0052] As shown in Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the side plate 20 has a first flanging structure 25 on the side away from the bent portion 23, and the first flanging structure 25 is annularly arranged along the circumferential edge of the third connecting hole 231. The side plate 20 has a second flanging structure 26 on the side facing the bent portion 23, and the second flanging structure 26 is annularly arranged along the circumferential edge of the first connecting hole 22, and the second flanging structure 26 is arranged in the space surrounded by the first flanging structure 25.
[0053] It can be understood that, in order to improve the connection reliability between the fastener and the side plate 20, the bent portion 23 can be arranged, the first flanging structure 25 can be arranged on the periphery of the third connecting hole 231, and the second flanging structure 26 can be arranged on the periphery of the first connecting hole 22. The first flanging structure 25 can be punched out with the second flanging structure 26 through a sheet metal punching process, so that the first flanging structure 25 is annularly arranged on the outer periphery of the second flanging structure 26. The two layers of flanging structures can strengthen the structural strength at this position, and increase the contact area between the fastener and the side plate 20, and further improve the connection reliability between the two.
[0054] As shown in Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the side plate 20 has an opening 232 on the periphery of the first connecting hole 22, and the opening 232 is configured to be formed by bending the bent portion 23 from the side plate 20, and / or the side plate 20 has a notch 233 at the edge of the side plate 20, and the notch 233 is configured to be formed by bending the bent portion 23 from the side plate 20.
[0055] It can be understood that the bending part 23 can be formed by punching and bending the part of the side plate 20 around the first connecting hole 22, the side plate 20 is punched to form an opening 232 around the first connecting hole 22, the bending part 23 is bent 180° to be parallel to the side plate 20, and is stacked at one end of the first connecting hole 22, and the third connecting hole 231 coaxially arranged with the first connecting hole 22 is arranged on the bending part 23, so as to improve the contact area between the fastener and the side plate 20, and further improve the reliability of the fastener connection.

[0056] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1-6 In some embodiments of the utility model, the number of first connecting holes 22 and the number of second connecting holes 131 are both multiple, multiple first connecting holes 22 are arranged at intervals in the direction parallel to the top cover 10, and the reinforcing rib 21 is arranged between two adjacent first connecting holes 22.
[0057] It can be understood that multiple first connecting holes 22 and second connecting holes 131 can be arranged at intervals along the edge of the side plate 20 and the edge of the side plate 13, in order to improve the edge strength of the side plate 20, the reinforcing rib 21 can be arranged on the edge of the side plate 20, and the reinforcing rib 21 avoids the first connecting hole 22 and is arranged between two adjacent first connecting holes 22, so as to improve the structural strength of the side plate 20.
[0058] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1-4 In some embodiments of the utility model, the part of the guide groove 11 corresponds to the side plate 13 protruding in the direction away from the mounting space 14 to form a handle part 132, the handle part 132 defines a hand buckle groove 133, and the hand buckle groove 133 has a downwardly open slot.
[0059] Understandably, the edge of the top cover 10 can be formed into a handle 132 using sheet metal processing to facilitate operation by installers. Specifically, the handle 132 can be a protruding structure formed by stamping a portion of the side plate 13. The handle 132 protrudes outward relative to the side plate 13 to facilitate gripping by installers. Since the handle 132 is formed by stamping, a groove is formed on its inner side. This groove can serve as a guide groove 11, defining a guide groove 11 on the side of the handle 132 facing the top plate 12. This guide groove 11 allows the top cover 10 to slide against the reinforcing rib 21 of the side plate 20 during assembly, providing guidance during installation and improving assembly convenience. The position of the handle 132 corresponds to the reinforcing rib 21, that is, the handle 132 corresponds to the reinforcing rib 21 in a direction parallel to the top plate 12, and the width of the handle 132 is greater than the width of the reinforcing rib 21.
[0060] Specifically, the guide groove 11 can also be formed by stamping to form a handle groove 133. The handle groove 133 is formed by a portion of the guide groove 11 recessed in the direction away from the top plate 12, so that the handle part 132 has two steps with different widths, the guide groove 11 and the handle groove 133, thereby making the structural strength of the handle part 132 higher.
[0061] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the side plate 13 is partially recessed on the side opposite to the top plate 12 to form at least one recessed platform 134, and the second connecting hole 131 is disposed in the recessed platform 134.
[0062] It is understandable that a recessed portion 134 can be formed at the location of the second connecting hole 131 on the side plate 13 by stamping. The recessed direction of the recessed portion 134 is parallel to the axial direction of the second connecting hole 131, and the recessed portion 134 is recessed from the side of the side plate 13 away from the top plate 12 into the mounting space 14, so that the structure at this location is not flat. The recessed portion 134 can improve the structural strength of the side plate 13 at the second connecting hole 131 and reduce the deformation of the side plate 13 after assembly.
[0063] like Figures 5-6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a guide flange 24 is formed on the edge of the end where the side plate 20 is connected to the side plate 13, and the guide flange 24 extends obliquely away from the reinforcing rib 21.
[0064] It is understood that a guide flange 24 can be formed at the top of the side plate 20 by bending. The guide flange 24 can be equal to the width of the side plate 20 in the width direction. The guide flange 24 and the side plate 20 are set at an angle, and the guide flange 24 is inclined away from the reinforcing rib 21. That is, the reinforcing rib 21 is set on the outside of the side plate 20, and the guide flange 24 is inclined inward into the installation space 14. During assembly, the side plate 13 of the top cover 10 is located outside the side plate 20 and moves downward to connect with the side plate 20. During the movement of the top cover 10 towards the side plate 20, the side plate 13 can move along the guide flange 24 to cooperate with the reinforcing rib 21. The guide flange 24 provides installation guidance for the top cover 10 and improves the convenience of assembly.
[0065] like Figures 5-6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the reinforcing rib 21 is arranged parallel to the top cover 10.
[0066] It is understandable that the extension direction of the reinforcing rib 21 can be parallel to the top cover 10, that is, parallel to the top plate 12, so that the reinforcing rib 21 is arranged in a straight line along the edge of the side plate 20. Correspondingly, the extension direction of the guide groove 11 is also parallel to the top cover 10. During assembly, the groove walls at both ends of the guide groove 11 in the length direction cooperate with the two ends of the reinforcing rib 21 in the length direction, so that the top cover 10 moves in a direction perpendicular to the reinforcing rib 21 to be assembled and connected with the side plate 20. The reinforcing rib 21 can be parallel to the top cover 10 and also parallel to the width direction of the top cover 10, so that the directional limitation of the top cover 10 during assembly with the side plate 20 is more reliable.
[0067] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the top cover 10 is an integral structure and is a sheet metal bending part, and / or, the side plate 20 is an integral structure and is a sheet metal bending part.
[0068] Understandably, the top cover 10 and the side panel 20 can be made from sheet metal parts through processes such as bending and punching, so that the top cover 10 and the side panel 20 are both integral structures without welds or joints that weaken the structural strength, making the overall structural strength of the outdoor unit 100 casing higher.
[0069] The second aspect of this utility model provides a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) device, including the outdoor unit 100 proposed in the first aspect of this utility model.
[0070] The HVAC equipment proposed in the second aspect of this utility model can be an air conditioning unit, the outdoor unit of which has a side plate 20 and a top cover 10 for easy assembly. The end of the side plate 20 is provided with a reinforcing rib 21, and the top cover 10 is provided with a guide groove 11. When the top cover 10 is assembled with the side plate 20, the top cover 10 is connected to the reinforcing rib 21 through the guide groove 11. The top cover 10 is aligned with the side plate 20 by the limiting effect of the reinforcing rib 21, which reduces the difficulty of connecting the top cover 10 with the side plate 20 and improves the assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy.
[0071] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
