Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner outdoor unit technology, and in particular to an air conditioner outdoor unit valve plate assembly, an air conditioner outdoor unit, and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] With advancements in technology and improvements in living standards, consumers are increasingly reliant on air conditioning in both hot and cold weather. Air conditioning regulates the air quality in consumers' living areas, thereby enhancing their comfort.
[0003] In existing technology, air conditioners include an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, connected by pipes. Refrigerant circulates between the two units through these pipes, enabling the indoor unit to provide effective air conditioning to the living area. To facilitate connection between the outdoor and indoor units, the valve body in the outdoor unit typically extends beyond the unit's exterior. However, the valve body is fixed to the outdoor unit by a valve plate cover, and... Figure 1 As shown, the valve plate cover has a separate through hole for the valve body to pass through. In order to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the outdoor unit and prevent dust and small insects from entering the interior of the outdoor unit, the side plate of the valve plate cover connected to the air conditioner outdoor unit needs to be sealed, except for the area where the through hole is located. Therefore, the through hole is generally located in the center of the valve plate and is closed around it. When it is necessary to disassemble or install the valve body, the valve body can only be pulled out or pushed in through the through hole. However, the valve body is generally long, and there are angles between some of the pipes in the valve body. This makes it impossible for the closed through hole to adapt well to the disassembly and installation requirements of the valve body pipe angles. It is very easy to be bumped during disassembly and installation, and the disassembly and installation efficiency is low. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of low valve body disassembly and installation efficiency in the prior art, this utility model provides an air conditioner outdoor unit valve plate assembly, an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner, which has the advantages of simple disassembly and assembly tool structure, low manufacturing cost, simple disassembly and assembly method, high disassembly and assembly efficiency, and no damage to the valve body surface.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An air conditioner outdoor unit valve plate assembly includes a valve plate cover. The valve plate cover has multiple notches extending from the edge to the center for the valve body to pass through. A detachably connected baffle is provided for each notch, and the baffle covers the opening of the corresponding notch. The multiple baffles are separately arranged.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this solution changes the limitations of traditional closed pipe holes by setting multiple notch structures with single-sided openings. During installation, the valve body enters the notch and slides along the notch to one end near the middle of the valve plate cover. Then, the valve body is pushed to finely adjust its position. Compared with traditional pipe holes, the notch setting expands the installation space of the valve body pipeline, which can better adapt to multi-angle requirements. In addition, the valve plate assembly is also equipped with multiple corresponding detachable baffles. The baffles close off other notch areas outside the valve body, ensuring the appearance integrity of the valve plate assembly. The detachable baffles are set separately, allowing for disassembly and assembly of individual valve bodies, which facilitates subsequent maintenance of different notches.
[0008] Preferably, the upper and / or lower sides of the baffle are provided with a sliding groove, and the valve plate cover is inserted into the sliding groove so that the baffle is slidably connected to the valve plate cover along the length of the notch.
[0009] Using the above technical solution, the baffle is provided with a sliding groove to achieve a sliding connection between the baffle and the valve plate cover. The sliding groove can be provided on one side, and the other side can be tightly abutted against the side wall of the valve plate cover. Alternatively, the sliding groove can be provided on both sides, preferably on both sides, as the dual-sided setting ensures the stability of the sliding connection. At the same time, the baffle slides along the length of the notch in the sliding groove to remove or install the baffle. The clamping design of the sliding groove not only ensures the positional stability of the baffle after it is installed in place, but also allows for quick removal and installation of the baffle through linear sliding.
[0010] Preferably, the upper and / or lower sides of the baffle are provided with a first snap-fit part away from the inner cavity of the air conditioner outdoor unit and a second snap-fit part close to the inner cavity of the air conditioner outdoor unit. A sliding groove is formed between the first snap-fit part and the second snap-fit part. The side wall of the valve plate cover is snapped into the sliding groove and detachably slidably connected to the baffle. The design structure of the first snap-fit part and the second snap-fit part is simple and convenient for processing and sliding operation.
[0011] Using the above technical solution, the first snap-fit part is set on the side of the baffle away from the outdoor unit cavity, and the second snap-fit part is set on the side of the baffle close to the outdoor unit cavity. The first snap-fit part and the second snap-fit part are set on the same side of the baffle to form a sliding groove. The first snap-fit part and the second snap-fit part can be set on one side of the baffle to form a sliding groove, or the first snap-fit part and the second snap-fit part can be set on both sides to form a sliding groove. The side wall of the valve plate cover can be inserted into the interlayer space of the sliding groove by sliding. The first snap-fit part away from the inner cavity and the second snap-fit part close to the inner cavity together constitute a double fixing structure.
[0012] Preferably, the valve plate assembly is further provided with a limiting part, which includes a first limiting part disposed at the notch and a second limiting part disposed at one end of the baffle near the notch. The first limiting part and the second limiting part are joined together to form a through hole that is adapted to the valve body.
[0013] Using the above technical solution, the first limiting part is set at one end of the notch near the middle of the valve plate cover, and the second limiting part is integrated on the detachable baffle. The first limiting part and the second limiting part are combined to form a through hole that fits the shape of the valve body, accurately covering the valve body pipe diameter to achieve sealing and dust prevention.
[0014] Preferably, the entrance of the notch is designed with rounded corners.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the inlet edge of the notch is rounded. The rounded corner design can form a smooth transition surface, which plays a certain guiding role during valve body installation and avoids the outer wall of the pipeline being scratched by sharp edges during disassembly and assembly.
[0016] Preferably, the notch extends upwards along the direction of the opening and forms a predetermined angle with the horizontal line.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the notch is set to face upward or downward along the direction of the opening and to form a preset angle with the horizontal line. The upward tilt can cooperate with the guiding effect generated by the self-weight of the valve body, reducing the need for manual adjustment during installation. In addition, the upward notch can limit the valve body installed in the notch, so that the valve body will not tend to slide downward due to gravity, and the position of the valve body is more stable.
[0018] This utility model also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, including an outdoor unit body, a valve body, a side plate, a bottom plate, and an air conditioner outdoor unit valve plate assembly as described above. The side plate has a mounting hole, and the valve plate assembly is installed in the mounting hole and connected to the side plate. The bottom surfaces of the valve plate cover and the side plate are arranged parallel to each other on the bottom plate and together form an installation space. The outdoor unit body is connected to the bottom plate and located within the installation space.
[0019] Preferably, the valve plate cover includes a plate body and a mounting part. The mounting part is disposed on opposite sides of the plate body or around the plate body, and the mounting part is detachably connected to the side wall of the mounting hole.
[0020] With the above technical solution, the main plate serves as the core load-bearing structure of the valve plate cover. The valve body is installed on the main plate, and the mounting parts are arranged on opposite sides or around the main plate. The mounting parts and the side plates are detachably connected, allowing the valve plate cover to be quickly disassembled during maintenance.
[0021] Preferably, the baffle includes a baffle body, an abutting surface, and a shielding plate. The abutting surface is formed at the end of the baffle body away from the valve body and abuts against the side wall of the mounting hole. The shielding plate is connected to the abutting surface, and the top surface of the shielding plate abuts against the inner surface of the side plate.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the combined structure of the baffle body, the contact surface, and the shielding plate achieves multi-directional limiting and stable connection between the baffle and the side panel of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The baffle body, as the main shielding component, directly covers the notch opening to prevent foreign objects from entering. The contact surface adopts a double vertical design perpendicular to the baffle body and the shielding plate, forming an L-shaped support structure. When the contact surface abuts against the edge of the side panel, it can limit the horizontal displacement of the baffle. The structure in which the top surface of the shielding plate abuts against the bottom surface of the side panel further constrains the vertical movement of the baffle. Through the cooperation method of the contact surface and the shielding plate contacting different parts of the side panel respectively, the structural stability of the baffle after installation is ensured in both the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0023] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including the outdoor unit of the air conditioner as described above.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) simple structure and low manufacturing cost; (2) simple disassembly and assembly method and high disassembly and assembly efficiency; (3) will not cause damage to the valve body; (4) can adapt to the disassembly and assembly of valve bodies of different sizes.

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] Therefore, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application proposes an air conditioner outdoor unit valve plate assembly, including a valve plate cover 1. The valve plate cover 1 has a plurality of notches 10 extending from the edge to the center. The notches 10 are used for the valve body 2 to pass through. A detachably connected baffle 20 is provided for each notch 10. The baffle 20 covers the opening of the corresponding notch 10. The plurality of baffles 20 are separately arranged.
[0034] Among them, notch 10 refers to the notch structure that extends from the edge of the valve plate cover 1 towards the center. Specifically, it can be achieved by stamping or injection molding. The number of notches 10 can be determined according to the number of valve bodies 2 installed.
[0035] The opening refers to the open end of the notch 10 near the edge of the valve plate cover 1, and the valve body 2 enters the interior of the notch 10 along the opening.
[0036] Baffle 20 refers to a detachable plate-like structure that covers the remaining area of the notch 10, excluding the valve body 2, to maintain the seal of the notch 10. Separate configuration means that the baffles 20 corresponding to different notches 10 are directly separated from each other and are not interconnected during disassembly and assembly.
[0037] Specifically, a corresponding number of notches 10 and baffles 20 are set according to the number of valve bodies 2. Each notch 10 is equipped with one baffle 20, and the baffles 20 for different notches 10 are set separately. When the valve body 2 enters the notch 10 through the opening and moves to the end of the notch 10 away from the opening, the baffle 20 is then installed on the notch 10 to cover the part of the valve body 2 outside the installation, preventing dust from entering. During disassembly and assembly, only the baffle 20 needs to be removed to remove the valve body 2 from the notch 10 for maintenance. The removable baffle 20 simplifies maintenance operations while maintaining sealing, and improves operational efficiency. Moreover, the separate setting of different baffles 20 means that if the corresponding valve body 2 needs to be repaired or disassembled later, only the baffle 20 corresponding to that valve body 2 needs to be removed, which facilitates local maintenance. Through the above technical solution, the risk of collision during disassembly and assembly is avoided.
[0038] This application further proposes that the notch 10 extends upward along the direction of the opening and forms a predetermined angle with the horizontal line.
[0039] The preset angle refers to the angle formed by the line connecting the open end of the notch 10 and the line connecting the middle of the valve plate cover 1 to the horizontal line. The notch 10 facing upward means that the height of the open end of the notch 10 is greater than the height of the end of the notch near the middle of the valve plate cover 1. This design makes it easier for the valve body 2 to move along the tilt direction under the action of gravity during installation. In addition, the tilted upward sidewall of the notch 10 will have a limiting effect on the valve body 2, so the valve body 2 will not have a tendency to slide downward due to gravity, and the position of the valve body 2 is more stable.
[0040] It should be noted that the direction of the notch 10 in this application is not limited to upward; it can also be downward along the direction of the opening, forming a preset angle with the parallel line. Specifically, "notch 10 downward" means that the opening direction of the notch 10 is downward. This can be achieved by tilting the axis of the notch 10 downward, matching the extension direction of the valve body 2 pipe to reduce disassembly and assembly resistance.
[0041] Ideally, the notch 10 can also be set horizontally or vertically, depending on the specific needs.
[0042] This application further proposes that the upper and / or lower sides of the baffle 20 are provided with a sliding groove 213, and the side wall of the notch 10 is engaged with the sliding groove 213 so that the baffle 20 is slidably connected to the valve plate cover 1 along the length direction of the notch 10.
[0043] Among them, the groove 213 refers to the interlayer space formed on the side wall of the baffle near the notch 10. The gap width of the groove 213 is adapted to the thickness of the side wall of the notch 10, and is used to realize the relative displacement between the baffle 20 and the valve plate cover 1.
[0044] Specifically, the baffle 20 is provided with a sliding groove 213 to achieve a sliding connection between the baffle 20 and the valve plate cover 1. The sliding groove 213 can be provided on one side and the other side can be tightly abutted against the side wall of the valve plate cover 1, or the sliding groove 213 can be provided on both sides. Preferably, the sliding groove 213 is provided on both sides. The dual-sided setting ensures the stability of the sliding connection. The clamping design of the sliding groove 213 not only ensures the positional stability of the baffle 20 after it is installed in place, but also allows the baffle 20 to be quickly disassembled and assembled by linear sliding.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, this application further proposes that the baffle 20 is provided with a first snap-fit portion 211 away from the inner cavity of the air conditioner outdoor unit and a second snap-fit portion 212 close to the inner cavity of the air conditioner outdoor unit. A sliding groove 213 is formed between the first snap-fit portion 211 and the second snap-fit portion 212. The side wall of the valve plate cover plate 1 is snapped into the sliding groove 213 and is detachably slidably connected to the sliding groove 213.
[0046] The detachable sliding connection refers to the assembly or separation of the baffle 20 from the valve plate cover 1 through linear movement.
[0047] Specifically, the first latching part 211 is a block located away from the inner cavity of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the second latching part 212 is a block located close to the inner cavity of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The first latching part 211 and the second latching part 212 can be integrally formed with the baffle 20 during the manufacturing process. Specifically, the number of blocks in the first latching part 211 and the second latching part 212 can be determined according to the length of the baffle. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the first latching part 211 on one side of the baffle is provided with two blocks and the second latching part 212 is provided with two blocks, and the positions of the first latching part 211 and the second latching part 212 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0048] Specifically, a groove 213 is formed between the first snap-fit portion 211 and the second snap-fit portion 212 to clamp the side wall of the valve plate cover 1. The first snap-fit portion 211 and the second snap-fit portion 212 forming the groove 213 can be provided on one side of the baffle 20, or the first snap-fit portion 211 and the second snap-fit portion 212 forming the groove 213 can be provided on both sides. The baffle 20 slides in the groove 213 along the length direction of the side wall of the valve plate cover 1. Through the above technical solution, this application can realize the quick assembly and disassembly of the baffle 20 and the valve plate cover 1. At the same time, the connection stability is improved by the upper and lower clamping structure. Meanwhile, the first snap-fit portion 211 and the second snap-fit portion 212 provided on opposite sides of the baffle 20 will not interfere with the sealing of the notch 10 of the baffle 20, thus ensuring the shielding effect of the notch 10 and the sealing performance of the air conditioner outdoor unit.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, this application further proposes that the valve plate assembly also includes a limiting part, which includes a first limiting part 31 disposed in the notch 10 and a second limiting part 32 disposed near one end of the baffle 20 near the notch 10. The first limiting part 31 and the second limiting part 32 are spliced together to form a through hole 30 adapted to the valve body 2.
[0050] The first limiting part 31 is a groove formed at one end of the notch 10 near the middle of the valve plate cover 1, and the second limiting part 32 is a groove formed at the end of the baffle 20 near the notch 10. Preferably, when the cross-section of the valve body 2 is circular, the first limiting part 31 and the second limiting part 32 are semi-circular grooves formed by stacking the cross-sections, and the two are spliced together to form a circle that matches the cross-section of the valve body 2. It should be noted that the spliced shape is not limited to a circle, and the first limiting part 31 and the second limiting part 32 are adaptively adjusted according to the valve body 2.
[0051] Specifically, after the pipe positioning is completed, the baffle 20 is pushed so that the second limiting part 32 moves closer to the first limiting part 31, and finally they are assembled into a complete through hole 30 that fits the valve body 2. During this process, the movement trajectory of the second limiting part 32 is consistent with the sliding direction of the baffle 20. The assembled through hole 30 fits tightly with the outer diameter of the pipe to prevent dust or foreign objects from entering the air conditioner outdoor unit from the gap.
[0052] This application further proposes a rounded corner design for the entrance of notch 10.
[0053] The rounded corner design refers to the arc transition treatment of the entrance edge of the notch 10, so that the entrance edge forms a continuous and smooth curved surface structure.
[0054] Specifically, when valve body 2 enters notch 10 from the opening, the rounded corner structure's arc surface provides guidance, allowing the pipe to automatically adjust its insertion angle. The contact trajectory between the pipe's outer wall and the opening edge changes from a linear contact of a traditional right-angle structure to a curved contact. The increased contact area reduces the pressure per unit area, effectively preventing plastic deformation or surface scratches on the contact surface.
[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 This application further proposes that the outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes an outdoor unit body, a valve body 2, a side plate 3, a base plate 4, and an air conditioner outdoor unit valve plate assembly. The side plate 3 has a mounting hole 40, and the valve plate assembly is installed in the mounting hole 40 and connected to the side plate 3. The valve plate cover 1 and the bottom of the side plate 3 are arranged in parallel on the base plate 4, together forming an installation space. The outdoor unit body is connected to the base plate 4 and located in the installation space.
[0056] Parallel arrangement refers to the side plate 3 and valve plate cover 1 being fixed on the base plate 4 in a parallel or nearly parallel layout; mounting hole 40 refers to the opening structure of the side plate 3 for mounting valve plate cover 1; installation space refers to the closed or semi-closed area enclosed by the side plate 3 and valve plate cover 1 on the base plate 4.
[0057] Among them, the bottom plate 4 refers to the bottom flat plate that supports the side plate 3, valve plate assembly and outdoor unit body.
[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top and side of the valve cover 1 are connected to each other. The top of the valve cover 1 and the bottom of the side plate 3 are arranged in parallel to form a continuous sidewall structure, and their bottoms are connected to the surface of the base plate 4. The main body of the outdoor unit is fixed to the surface of the base plate 4 by fasteners or embedding, and its position corresponds to the internal area of the installation space. The notch 10 and the removable baffle 20 structure provided on the valve cover 1 allow the valve body 2 to move along the direction of the notch 10 during installation or disassembly, avoiding the limitation of multi-angle pipe disassembly by the traditional closed pipe hole 30. The removable baffle 20 design provides a convenient operating window for the maintenance of the valve body 2 while ensuring sealing. The enclosure design of the installation space ensures the integrity of the external structure and effectively prevents external dust from entering.
[0059] like Figure 1As shown, this application further proposes that the valve plate cover 1 includes a plate body 11 and a mounting part 12. The mounting part 12 is disposed on opposite sides of the plate body 11 or around the plate body 11. The mounting part 12 is detachably connected to the side plate 3.
[0060] Among them, the plate body 11 refers to the main load-bearing structure of the valve plate cover 1, the main body of the notch 10 is opened in the plate body, the mounting part 12 refers to the auxiliary structure connected to the side plate 3, and the detachable connection can be fixed with screws or snap-fit, so as to maintain the structural integrity during disassembly and assembly.
[0061] Specifically, the main body 11 serves as the base structure of the valve cover 1, forming a notch 10. The plane of the main body 11 is flush with or exceeds the height of the outer surface of the side plate 3. The outer surface of the mounting part 12 abuts against the inner surface of the side plate 3, and the height of the outer surface of the mounting part 12 is lower than the height of the outer surface of the main body 11. Preferably, the mounting part 10 can be formed with a flange structure perpendicular to the plate surface on both sides of the main body 11 by a stamping and bending process, or a continuous surrounding flange structure can be formed on the outer edge of the main body 11. Connection holes are opened at corresponding positions of the mounting part 12 and the side plate 3, and screws are used to fix the mounting part 12 to the side plate 3 through the connection holes. Preferably, this utility model preferably uses a surrounding type, and the edge of the notch 10 is not provided with the mounting part 12. To ensure the stability of the installation, the periphery of the notch 10 is surrounded by the mounting part 12.
[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, this application further proposes that the baffle 20 includes a baffle body 22, an abutment surface 23 and a shield 24. One end of the abutment surface 23 is perpendicular to the baffle body 22, and the other end is perpendicular to the shield 24. The abutment surface 23 abuts against the edge of the side plate 3, and the top surface of the shield 24 abuts against the bottom surface of the side plate 3.
[0063] Among them, the baffle body 22 refers to the plate-like structure used to cover the opening of the notch 10, which can cover the notch 10 to achieve a sealing function.
[0064] The contact surface 23 refers to the surface of the connecting baffle body 22 located away from the valve body 2 that abuts against the side wall of the mounting hole 40.
[0065] The baffle 24 is a flat plate structure that extends vertically from the end of the abutment surface 23. It and the baffle body 22 are located at the upper and lower ends of the abutment surface, respectively. The baffle 24 abuts against the inner surface of the side plate 3 to fix the baffle 20.
[0066] Specifically, when the baffle 20 is slidably installed along the opening direction of the notch 10, the plane of the baffle body 22 completely covers the notch to prevent gaps from forming. The abutting surface 23 contacts and abuts against the side wall of the mounting hole 40 during installation. The top surface of the shield 24 abuts against the inner surface of the side plate 3. The abutting surface 23 and the shield 24 form an L-shaped structure, vertically constraining and preventing the baffle 20 from moving in a direction parallel to the plane of the side plate 3. The shield 24 can also be connected to the side plate 3 via bolts or other connecting parts to further ensure the sealing between the baffle 20 and the side plate 3 and to strengthen the connection stability between the baffle 20 and the side plate 3.
[0067] Through the above technical solution, the slide groove 213 of this application is engaged with the side wall of the mounting hole 40, the abutment surface 23 abuts against the side wall of the mounting hole 40, and the baffle plate 24 abuts against the inner surface of the side plate 3, thus achieving a stable engagement between the baffle plate 20 and the side plate 3. This eliminates the need for additional connection operations in the split design of this application. During installation, simply push the baffle plate 20 along the notch 10 and connect it with the side plate 3 to ensure a stable installation of the baffle plate 20 without requiring additional connection operations. During disassembly, simply offset the positions of the side plate 3 and the baffle plate 20 and pull out the baffle plate 20 directly. This ensures a stable installation of the baffle plate 20 while making disassembly and assembly simpler and faster. In addition, the second limiting part 32 of the baffle plate 20 is stably engaged with the valve body 2. This application achieves a stable connection between the baffle plate and the valve body 2, the main plate 11, and the side plate 3 as a whole through the second limiting part 32, the slide groove 213, the abutment surface 23, and the baffle plate 24.
[0068] This application further proposes an air conditioner including an outdoor unit, which adopts the outdoor unit of the air conditioner as described in the above embodiment.
