[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, Figure 1 In the first aspect of this utility model, an outdoor unit 1 is provided, which includes a top cover 14. The top cover 14 includes a top plate 141 and a side plate 142. The side plate 142 is connected to the edge of the top plate 141 and is set at an angle to the top plate 141. A portion of the side plate 142 facing away from the top plate 141 protrudes to form a handle portion 143. The handle portion 143 is provided with a rolled edge structure 1431. Along the height direction of the outdoor unit 1, the rolled edge structure 1431 is located at the bottom edge of the side plate 142.

[0033] It is understood that the outdoor unit 1 includes a housing 10, which is rectangular in shape. Above the housing 10 is a top cover 14, which is roughly rectangular in shape. The top cover 14 consists of a top plate 141 and a side plate 142. One side of the side plate 142 is connected to the edge of the top plate 141, and the side plate 142 can be integrally formed with the top plate 141. The outer side of the side plate 142, i.e., the portion of the side plate 142 facing away from the top plate 141, protrudes outward to form a handle portion 143. The cross-section of the handle portion 143 can be trapezoidal. The handle portion 143 is shaped like a rectangle or a circle, and extends downward to the edge of the side plate 142, that is, to the edge of the side plate 142 on the side away from the top plate 141 in the height direction of the outdoor unit 1. A rolled edge structure 1431 is provided on the lower edge of the handle portion 143. The rolled edge structure 1431 can be formed by rolling the edge of the handle portion 143 through a sheet metal rolling process, so that the edge of the handle portion 143 has an arc-shaped outer surface and the thickness is greater than the thickness of the side plate 142, which can improve the comfort of the user when touching it.

[0034] The outdoor unit 1 proposed in this utility model has a rolled edge structure 1431 on the handle part 143 of the top cover 14 that contacts the user, making the edge smoother and increasing the contact area between the handle and the user's hand, so as to reduce the risk of the user cutting their fingers when moving the outdoor unit 1.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, along the height direction of the outdoor unit 1, the outer surface of the rolled edge structure 1431 on the side opposite to the top plate 141 is arc-shaped.

[0036] It is understandable that the rolled edge structure 1431 formed by the curling of the edge of the handle 143 can be roughly cylindrical, that is, a cylinder with its axis parallel to the side plate 142. The outer surface of the bottom side of the rolled edge structure 1431 is a curved surface with a certain curvature, making the rolled edge structure 1431 more comfortable for users to handle when moving the outdoor unit 1.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cross-section of the rolled edge structure 1431 is arc-shaped or vortex-shaped along the height direction of the outdoor unit 1.

[0038] Understandably, the cross-section of the edge of the handle 143 after being rolled is arc-shaped or vortex-shaped, so that the outer surface of the rolled edge structure 1431 is arc-shaped, in order to improve the comfort of the user when touching it.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the side plate 142 extends along the edge of the top plate 141 and has a ring structure. The side plate 142 encloses the installation space. The outdoor unit 1 also includes a left side plate 131. One end of the left side plate 131 is located in the installation space and is connected to the side plate 142.

[0040] Understandably, the side plate 142 can be formed by stamping or bending the edge of the top plate 141. The side plate 142 can be arranged in a ring around the top plate 141, or multiple side plates 142 can be intermittently arranged along the edge of the top plate 141. A recessed installation space is formed between the side plate 142 and the top plate 141, allowing the left side plate 131 to be installed into the installation space. When viewed in a direction parallel to the top plate 141, the top cover 14 extends beyond the side plate, allowing the top plate 141 to protect the side plate from rain and improve waterproofing. Bolts or hooks can be provided on the side plate 142 to facilitate assembly and connection with the side plate.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the side plate 142 is provided with at least two connecting recesses 1421 on the side facing away from the installation space, and the handle part 143 is disposed between two adjacent connecting recesses 1421. The connecting recesses 1421 are provided with a first connecting hole 14213, which is used for fasteners to pass through to connect the left side plate 131.

[0042] It is understandable that a connecting recess 1421 can be formed on the side plate 142 by stamping. The connecting recess 1421 has a first connecting hole 14213 for fasteners to pass through. The recessed direction of the connecting recess 1421 is parallel to the axial direction of the first connecting hole 14213. The connecting recess 1421 is recessed from the side of the side plate 142 away from the top plate 141 into the installation space, so that the structure is not flat. The connecting recess 1421 can improve the structural strength of the side plate 142 at the first connecting hole 14213 and reduce the deformation of the top cover 14 when moving the outdoor unit 1. Specifically, multiple connecting recesses 1421 can be provided at intervals along the extension direction of the side plate 142. For example, two connecting recesses 1421 can be provided on the side plates 142 located on both sides of the top plate 141, and the handle part 143 can be placed between the two connecting recesses 1421. This allows the connecting recesses 1421 to strengthen the structural strength of the side plate 142 through its own bending structure, thereby reducing the deformation of the top cover 14 when the handle part 143 is in use.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting platform 1421 includes a bottom wall 14211 and two side walls 14212, which are located on opposite sides of the bottom wall 14211 and are stepped.

[0044] It is understandable that a pyramid-shaped connecting platform 1421 can be formed on the side plate 142 through a stamping process. Specifically, the side wall 14212 of the connecting platform 1421 can be stepped to further strengthen the structural strength at this location and reduce the deformation of the top cover 14 when transporting the outdoor unit 1. Specifically, the stepped side wall 14212 can be arranged in a ring around the bottom wall 14211 of the platform, or it can be arranged on the opposite sides of the bottom wall 14211 of the platform, which can be the left and right sides of the bottom wall 14211 of the platform, so that the upper and lower sides of the connecting platform 1421 are open, which facilitates the processing of the connecting platform 1421.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the handle portion 143 is provided with a handle groove on the side facing the installation space. Along the height direction of the top cover 14, the handle groove has an opening that opens away from the top plate 141, and the rolled edge structure 1431 is located on the periphery of the opening.

[0046] Understandably, the inner side of the handle 143 defines a grip groove to facilitate gripping when moving the outdoor unit 1. The cross-section of the grip groove can be trapezoidal or rectangular, and the bottom of the grip groove is open, allowing the user to reach into the grip groove from below to grip the handle 143. The edge of the grip groove has a rolled edge structure 1431, making the edge of the groove smoother and reducing the feeling of the sheet metal cutting the user's hands when moving the outdoor unit 1.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, a handle portion 143 is provided on each side of the top cover 14 along the length direction of the outdoor unit 1.

[0048] It is understandable that a handle 143 can be provided on each of the left and right sides of the top cover 14, so that the user can carry the outdoor unit 1 with both hands. The handles 143 on both sides can be arranged symmetrically to improve the user's experience when carrying the outdoor unit 1.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top cover 14 is also provided with a reinforcing rib 1411, which is disposed between two handle portions 143 located on both sides of the top cover 14 and extends along the length direction of the outdoor unit 1.

[0050] It is understandable that reinforcing ribs 1411 can be formed on the top side of the top cover 14 by sheet metal stamping. Multiple reinforcing ribs 1411 can be set. In order to further improve the structural strength of the top cover 14, some reinforcing ribs 1411 can be set between the two handles 143 on both sides of the top cover 14. This allows the reinforcing ribs 1411 to improve the bending resistance of the top cover 14 when the user moves the outdoor unit 1, so that the top cover 14 is not easily deformed or bent due to excessive force.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top cover 14 is an integral structure and is a sheet metal bending part.

[0052] Understandably, the top cover 14 can be formed entirely from sheet metal parts through bending and stamping, making the side plate 142, top plate 141, handle 143 and rolled edge structure 1431 an integral structure with higher structural strength.

[0053] The second aspect of this utility model provides a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) device, including the outdoor unit 1 proposed in the first aspect of this utility model.

[0054] The outdoor unit 1 of the HVAC equipment proposed in the second aspect of this utility model has a handle 143 that is comfortable to hold. This utility model makes the edge of the handle 143 of the top cover 14 of the outdoor unit 1 that contacts the user as a rolled edge structure 1431, so that the edge is smoother and the contact area between the handle and the user's hand is increased, thereby reducing the risk of the user cutting their fingers when moving the outdoor unit 1.

[0055] 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. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
