Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of air conditioning equipment technology, specifically referring to an outdoor air conditioning unit and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] The existing air conditioner outdoor unit includes a chassis, a valve plate, high and low pressure valves, and a right rear side panel. The valve plate is erected on the right end of the chassis along the front and back. The valve plate has a first slot that passes through to the front and a second slot that passes through to the rear. The high and low pressure valves (one is a high-pressure valve and the other is a low-pressure valve) include an installation part and an external part. The installation part is placed in the first slot or the second slot through the through-hole of the first slot or through the through-hole of the second slot. The external part is located on the right side of the valve plate. The lower part of the right side panel of the right rear side panel is a frame structure that passes through to one side of the chassis. When the chassis is arranged horizontally, the frame structure cannot pass through the external part from right to left and be placed between the external part and the valve plate due to the obstruction of the external part. It can only be inserted from top to bottom between the external part and the valve plate.
[0003] However, during the process of inserting the frame structure from top to bottom between the external part and the valve plate, the lower front end of the frame structure is easy to insert into the through hole of the first slot and is difficult to pull out after insertion, and the lower rear end of the frame structure is easy to insert into the slot of the second slot and is difficult to pull out after insertion. This will seriously reduce the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Utility Model Content

The frame structure is located between the periphery of the valve plate 400 and the outer part 120. At least one of the first plate section 310 and the second plate section 320 and the third plate section 330 are separate structures.
[0026] When the chassis 200 is arranged horizontally, the first plate segment 310 and the second plate segment 320 of the split structure can be inserted horizontally between the periphery of the valve plate 400 and the external part 120, and then the first plate segment 310, the second plate segment 320, the third plate segment 330 and the valve plate 400 are fixed together. This scheme makes it easier to avoid the first plate segment 310 and the second plate segment 320 being inserted into the slots of the first slot and the slots of the second slot, so the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit is higher.
[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the valve plate 400 is erected on the right end of the chassis 200, the first plate segment 310 is located on the right front side of the valve plate 400, and the second plate segment 320 is located on the right rear side of the valve plate 400.

The first plate segment 310 is inserted from front to back, such that the first plate segment 310 is inserted between the front edge of the valve plate 400 and the front end of the external part 120.
[0030] For the technical solution where the first plate segment 310, the second plate segment 320 and the third plate segment 330 are separate structures, the second plate segment 320 is inserted from back to front, so that the second plate segment 320 is inserted between the rear edge of the valve plate 400 and the rear end of the external part 120; the first plate segment 310 is inserted from front to back, so that the first plate segment 310 is inserted between the front edge of the valve plate 400 and the front end of the external part 120; and the third plate segment 330 is placed on the upper right side of the valve plate 400 from right to left or from top to bottom.

The first screw hole and the first screw mating hole are fixed together by a first screw, so that the first plate segment 310 and the valve plate 400 are fixedly connected together. This solution has a simple structure and is easy to implement.
[0033] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one of the first plate segment 310 and the chassis 200 is provided with a second screw hole, and the other is provided with a second screw mating hole. The second screw hole and the second screw mating hole are fixed together by a second screw, so that the first plate segment 310 and the chassis 200 are fixedly connected together. This solution has a simple structure and is easy to implement.
[0034] In some examples, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, one of the second plate segment 320 and the valve plate 400 is provided with a third screw hole, and the other is provided with a third screw mating hole. The third screw hole and the third screw mating hole are fixed together by a third screw, so that the second plate segment 320 and the valve plate 400 are fixedly connected together.

[0036] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first plate segment 310 and the third plate segment 330 are separate structures, while the second plate segment 320 and the third plate segment 330 are a single structure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the right side of the first plate segment 310, away from the chassis 200, is provided with a supporting step 311. The end of the third plate segment 330 adjacent to the first plate segment 310 overlaps with the stepped surface of the supporting step 311, so as to achieve a sealed overlapping fit between the first plate segment 310 and the third plate segment 330. This scheme has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and has a good sealing effect.
[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one of the stepped surface of the supporting step 311 of the first plate segment 310 and one end of the third plate segment 330 adjacent to the first plate segment 310 is provided with a fifth screw hole, and the other is provided with a fifth screw mating hole.

[0043] In summary, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of this application allows the first and second plate segments of the split structure to be inserted sequentially into the periphery of the valve plate and the external part in the horizontal direction when the chassis is arranged horizontally. Then, the first plate segment, the second plate segment, the third plate segment and the valve plate are fixed together. This solution makes it easier to avoid the first and second plate segments being inserted into the slots of the first and second slots, thus improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit.
