[0028] In this application, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described as "exemplary" in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] This application provides an air conditioner top-discharge assembly and a top-discharge air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the top-discharge air conditioner outdoor unit includes a housing 300 and the aforementioned air conditioner top-discharge assembly. The top of the housing 300 is provided with a second air outlet, and the air conditioner top-discharge assembly is disposed at the second air outlet.

[0031] The air conditioner top air outlet assembly includes an air guide ring 100 and a top cover 200. The outer wall of the air guide ring 100 is provided with multiple elastic folds 110, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the air guide ring 100. Each elastic fold has an outer wall facing away from the center of the air guide ring 100. The top cover 200 surrounds the outer periphery of the air guide ring 100, and the inner wall of the top cover 200 abuts against the outer wall of the elastic fold 110 to fix the air guide ring 100.

[0032] The air conditioner top-discharge assembly and top-discharge air conditioner outdoor unit provided in this application embodiment have multiple elastic folds 110 spaced at intervals along the circumference of the air guide ring 100 on the outer side wall of the air guide ring 100. The elastic folds 110 have an outer side wall away from the center of the air guide ring 100 and surround the top cover 200 around the outer periphery of the air guide ring 100. The inner side wall of the top cover 200 abuts against the outer side wall of the elastic folds 110 to fix the air guide ring 100. In this way, the stress of the top cover 200 can be transmitted to the air guide ring 100 through the elastic folds 110 to correct and fix the shape of the air guide ring 100, prevent the air guide ring 100 from undergoing radial deformation, and also have the function of buffering and shock absorption. Moreover, the above solution is easy to process, which reduces labor costs and improves processing efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, multiple elastic folds 110 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the air guide ring 100. By evenly distributing multiple elastic folds 110 along the circumference of the air guide ring 100, the installation between the air guide ring 100 and the top cover 200 is facilitated. Moreover, this allows for a more balanced force distribution on the air guide ring 100, making the process of straightening the air guide ring 100 into a circle more natural and preventing irreversible damage to the air guide ring 100.

[0034] Specifically, the number of elastic hems 110 can be two, three, or more, depending on actual needs. For example, Figure 5 The air guide ring 100 has twelve elastic folds 110, which are evenly distributed on the outer side wall of the air guide ring 100 along the circumference of the air guide ring 100.

[0035] Optionally, the air guide ring 100 and multiple elastic flanges 110 are integrally injection molded, meaning that both the air guide ring 100 and the elastic flanges 110 are made of plastic and are integrally molded. This integral injection molding structure of the air guide ring 100 and multiple elastic flanges 110 facilitates production, simplifies manufacturing, and greatly improves processing efficiency. Furthermore, the plastic elastic flanges 110 can replace sponge strips for cushioning and shock absorption, while also making it easier to achieve an interference fit between the air guide ring 100 and the top cover 200. This allows for better transfer of stress from the top cover 200 to the air guide ring 100 through the elastic flanges 110, achieving the goal of correcting the air guide ring 100 into a circular shape.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the elastic folded edge 110 includes a connecting portion 111 and a mating portion 112. The connecting portion 111 is fixed to the outer wall of the air guide ring 100, and the mating portion 112 is connected to the connecting portion 111 and extends along the axial direction of the air guide ring 100. A gap is provided between the inner wall of the mating portion 112 and the outer wall of the air guide ring 100, and the outer wall of the mating portion 112 abuts against the inner wall of the top cover 200.

[0037] Optionally, the air guide ring 100 has a first air inlet 101 and a first air outlet 102 at its two ends along its own axial direction, and the elastic folded edge 110 is set close to the first air outlet 102. This configuration facilitates the installation between the air guide ring 100 and the top cover 200, solves the problem of installation difficulty, and improves installation efficiency.

[0038] Optionally, one end of the mating part 112 is connected to the connecting part 111, and the other end of the mating part 112 extends along the direction from the first air inlet 101 to the first air outlet 102 and is provided with an inclined part 113 that is inclined toward the inside of the air guide ring 100. By providing an inclined part 113 that is inclined toward the inside of the air guide ring 100 at the end of the mating part 112 away from the connecting part 111, it is easier to install the air guide ring 100 and the top cover 200, and prevents the air guide ring 100 from getting stuck on the top cover 200 during installation.

[0039] For example, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, multiple elastic flanges 110 are provided on the outer wall of the air guide ring 100 near the first air outlet 102. The multiple elastic flanges 110 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the air guide ring 100. The connecting part 111 of the elastic flange 110 is fixed to the outer wall of the air guide ring 100 and connected to one end of the mating part 112. The other end of the mating part 112 extends along the direction from the first air inlet 101 to the first air outlet 102. The end of the mating part 112 away from the connecting part 111 is provided with an inclined part 113 that bends toward the inner side of the air guide ring 100. The inner wall of the top cover 200 abuts against the outer wall of the mating part 112. The elasticity of the mating part 112 allows the air guide ring 100 and the top cover 200 to form an interference fit, thereby transferring stress from the top cover 200 to the air guide ring 100 through the elastic flanges 110, achieving the effect of correcting and fixing the air guide ring 100. Moreover, the elastic flanges 110 can also play a role in buffering and shock absorption.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the air guide ring 100 includes a mounting portion 120 and an air guide portion 130 connected to the mounting portion 120. A first air inlet 101 is formed at the end of the mounting portion 120 away from the air guide portion 130, and a first air outlet 102 is formed at the end of the air guide portion 130 away from the mounting portion 120. Multiple elastic flanges 110 are disposed on the outer side wall of the air guide portion 130. The mounting portion 120 is used to mount the air guide cover onto the housing 300 of the air conditioner.

[0041] Optionally, the outer periphery of the air guide ring 100 is provided with reinforcing ribs 140. By providing reinforcing ribs 140 on the outer periphery of the air guide ring 100, the strength of the air guide ring 100 can be increased and the risk of deformation of the air guide ring 100 under stress can be reduced.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 300 includes a chassis and multiple side plates. The chassis and the top cover 200 are arranged opposite each other along the height direction of the housing 300. The multiple side plates are connected sequentially along the circumference of the chassis. The chassis, the multiple side plates and the top cover 200 together define a receiving cavity for accommodating an outdoor heat exchanger, a compressor and a fan 400, etc. A second air inlet 301 is provided on the side plate. Both the second air inlet 301 and the second air outlet are connected to the receiving cavity.

[0043] Optional, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the top-discharge air conditioner outdoor unit also includes a fan 400. The fan 400 is located near the second air outlet and within the air guide ring 100 of the top-discharge air assembly. The top cover 200 has a ventilation opening 201 corresponding to the fan 400. Specifically, the fan 400 includes a fan blade 410 and a motor 420. The motor shaft of the motor 420 is connected to the fan blade 410 to drive the fan blade 410 to rotate. When the fan blade 410 rotates, the airflow can enter the receiving cavity from the second air inlet 301, then flow through the outdoor heat exchanger for heat exchange, and finally be discharged from the second air outlet.

[0044] It is understandable that the air guide ring 100 is prone to deformation during production, transportation, assembly, and operation due to its structural instability. Deformation of the air guide ring 100 can cause interference between the fan blade 410 and the air guide ring 100, preventing normal operation. This application addresses this by providing multiple elastic flanges 110 at intervals along the circumference of the outer wall of the air guide ring 100. Each elastic flange 110 has an outer wall facing away from the center of the air guide ring 100. A top cover 200 surrounds the outer periphery of the air guide ring 100, with its inner wall abutting against the outer wall of the elastic flange 110 to fix the air guide ring 100. This creates an interference fit between the air guide ring 100 and the top cover 200, transferring the stress of the top cover 200 to the air guide ring 100 through the elastic flanges 110. This achieves the purpose of correcting and fixing the air guide ring 100 into a circular shape, thereby preventing deformation of the air guide ring 100 that could cause interference between the fan blade 410 and the air guide ring 100, preventing normal operation.

[0045] Optionally, the top-discharge air conditioner outdoor unit also includes a first crossbeam 510 and a second crossbeam 520, which are arranged opposite each other on the top of the casing 300. The two opposite sides of the air guide ring 100 are connected to the first crossbeam 510 and the second crossbeam 520 respectively. This arrangement ensures the reliable installation of the air guide ring 100.

[0046] Specifically, the housing 300 includes a left side panel 310 and a right side panel 320, which are arranged opposite each other on the left and right sides of the housing 300. A second air inlet 301 is provided on both the left side panel 310 and the right side panel 320. The first crossbeam 510 and the second crossbeam 520 are connected to the left side panel 310 and the right side panel 320 by a first screw. The mounting part 120 of the air guide ring 100 is connected to the first crossbeam 510 and the second crossbeam 520 by a second screw 600. The top cover 200 is connected to the left side panel 310 and the right side panel 320 by a third screw.
