Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioner outdoor units, and specifically to a protective device for air conditioner outdoor units. Background Technology
[0002] The outdoor unit of an air conditioner is the main component used to cool and dissipate the high-pressure, high-temperature gas discharged from the indoor unit outdoors (through a fan). The condensed refrigerant liquid is then sent through a capillary tube to the evaporator of the indoor unit to evaporate into gas and absorb heat from the room. This cycle repeats, and the indoor temperature gradually decreases. Therefore, protecting the outdoor unit is also crucial.
[0003] Existing air conditioner outdoor unit protection devices typically involve welding protective railings around the outside of the outdoor unit. The installation process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the outdoor unit is not fully wrapped, resulting in poor protection. As a result, the outdoor unit is still subject to natural rain and snow erosion, which can easily lead to corrosion and damage to the outer casing of the outdoor unit. At the same time, it cannot effectively buffer and protect against external forces, especially for air conditioner outdoor units installed at heights. Utility Model Content

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] See Figure 1-4 As shown, an air conditioner outdoor unit protection device includes a front protective panel 1. A first protective cover 2 and a second protective cover 3 are fixedly connected to the surface of the front protective panel 1. Side plates 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the front protective panel 1. A tail plate 5 is flipped and connected to the tail end of the side plates 4. A buffer assembly 6 is provided above the front protective panel 1, the side plates 4 and the tail plate 5. A guide groove 7 is provided on the inner wall of the side plates 4. A spring 8 is embedded in the guide groove 7. A baffle 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide groove 7. The buffer assembly 6 includes a buffer top cover 10 and a third protective cover 11 on its top, which are fixedly connected. A guide head 12 is fixedly connected to the corner of the buffer top cover 10. Covering layers 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the buffer top cover 10.
[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the front protective panel 1 is rectangular in shape, and "L"-shaped fixed feet are fixedly connected to the bottom corners. The first protective cover 2 is a conical cover embedded in the surface of the front protective panel 1. The inner end of the first protective cover 2 is also provided with a protective mesh layer. The second protective cover 3 is a trapezoidal cover protruding and is made of hard plastic. It is distributed adjacent to the first protective cover 2. The front protective panel 1 and the first protective cover 2 and the second protective cover 3 provided on its surface can effectively shield and protect the front of the outdoor unit. The first protective cover 2, which is conical in shape, can effectively cover and protect the air outlet of the outdoor unit, while the second protective cover 3 can effectively shield and protect the other side of the front of the outdoor unit, reducing the impact of external forces on the outdoor unit.
[0029] Two sets of side plates 4 are arranged opposite each other. The inner side of the side plate 4 is rectangularly concave, and the two ends of the inner side are folded protrusions. The guide groove 7 is a rectangular groove vertically cut along the folded protrusions at both ends of the inner side of the side plate 4. The spring 8 is a compression spring, which is vertically set and located between the guide groove 7 and the baffle 9. The baffle 9 is fixedly connected to the middle section of the surface of the guide groove 7. Two sets of tail plates 5 are fan-shaped protrusions. The connection end of the tail plate 5 and the side plate 4 is elastically flipped and connected by a shaft and a torsion spring sleeve. The inner end of the tail plate 5 is also provided with two sets of circular limiting openings. The side plates 4 and the tail plate 5 achieve the effect of shielding and protecting the external outdoor unit from the side and the back. The flipped tail plate 5 and the limiting opening at its inner end facilitate the arrangement of the pipes and lines of the external outdoor unit. The baffle 9 and the guide groove 7 facilitate the limiting and fixing of the spring 8. The spring 8 provides support and buffer for the buffer assembly 6.
[0030] First, after removing the buffer assembly 6, the entire device is fitted onto the outside of the outdoor unit, surrounding it. The entire device is then fixed to the bottom surface using external screws and the support feet at the bottom of the front protective panel 1. The front protective panel 1 and the side panel 4 provide protection for the corresponding sides of the outdoor unit. The flip-up tail plate 5 flips up to cover the tail end of the outdoor unit. The pipes and lines connected to the outdoor unit are arranged through the opening at the inner end of the tail plate 5. Finally, the buffer assembly 6 is installed, embedding it between the front protective panel 1 and the side panel 4. The user can adjust the flip angle of the tail plate 5 as needed so that the buffer assembly 6 can be embedded in the top of the entire device. The corners of the buffer assembly 6 are embedded in the guide groove 7 and supported by the spring 8, thus completing the installation and fixing of the entire device.
[0031] The buffer top cover 10 is rectangular with recessed corners. The guide head 12 protrudes horizontally outward and slides into the guide groove 7. The third protective cover 11 is an arc-shaped rubber cover protrusion. The covering layer 13 is a plastic corrugated layer distributed on both sides of the buffer top cover 10 and located on the inner surface of the side plate 4. The buffer top cover 10 and the guide head 12 facilitate the overall movement of the buffer assembly 6 into the front protective panel 1 and the inner side of the side plate 4. The covering layer 13 covers and protects the gap between the buffer top cover 10 and the side plate 4. The third protective cover 11 buffers and protects against external forces on the top of the external unit.
