Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of air conditioner accessories, and relates to a multifunctional protective cover for an air conditioner outdoor unit. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioner outdoor units are typically installed outdoors and, lacking protective structures, are exposed to wind, sun, and rain, leading to a shortened lifespan. To protect these units, air conditioner outdoor unit protective covers have been developed. These covers are generally placed on top of the air conditioner unit, blocking sunlight and rain, thus providing some protection. For example, Chinese utility model CN2839880Y (2006-11-22) discloses an artistic protective cover for an air conditioner outdoor unit. It uses thin stainless steel sheets cut into concave grooves and welded into a frame larger than the protected unit. The frame covers the unit, and a stainless steel flower stand sits atop the frame. The cover has small holes around the perimeter for inserting flowers of various materials.

[0003] The aforementioned protective cover for the outdoor air conditioner unit requires expansion bolts to be driven into the wall during installation, which is inconvenient. More importantly, existing outdoor air conditioner units are not necessarily installed against a wall; they are more likely to be placed directly on an equipment platform. In this case, the aforementioned protective cover cannot be installed. Utility Model Content
