[0054] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0057] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.
[0058] In existing air conditioner outdoor units, the GPRS communication module and the waterproof structure of the electrical box are set up separately. This causes the GPRS communication module to occupy space in the air conditioner outdoor unit, which restricts the installation of other components of the air conditioner outdoor unit; at the same time, it reduces assembly efficiency.
[0059] This utility model creatively provides a housing for an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. The housing has an external partition that divides the interior of the outdoor unit housing into at least a first housing chamber and a second housing chamber. The first housing chamber is used to house a fan, and the second housing chamber is used to house a compressor and an electrical box. A waterproof box is mounted on the external partition and located on the side closest to the first housing chamber. The waterproof box is used to integrate a communication module, reducing the space occupied by the communication module in the second housing chamber and facilitating flexible installation of the compressor piping. The external partition and the waterproof box form a channel, which takes into account both heat dissipation and waterproofing requirements of the electrical box, improving assembly efficiency.
[0060] As shown in Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a housing for an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. The housing has an external partition 1 inside, which divides the interior of the housing into at least a first housing chamber 51 and a second housing chamber 52. The first housing chamber 51 is used to house a fan 53, and the second housing chamber 52 is used to house a compressor 54 and an electrical box. That is, the external partition 1 separates the compressor 54 and the fan 53. Specifically, the external partition 1 is connected to the housing.
[0061] A waterproof box 2 is provided on the outer partition 1, and the waterproof box 2 is located on the side close to the first chamber 51 of the casing;
[0062] The waterproof box 2 is used to integrate the communication module 4, which is used for information collection and transmission; this facilitates timely after-sales maintenance and data statistics; it also saves installation space and improves production efficiency.
[0063] Preferably, communication module 4 is a GPRS communication module;
[0064] The outer partition 1 and the waterproof box 2 form a channel, which is configured such that air in the second chamber 52 of the casing can enter the first chamber 51 of the casing through the channel, while water in the first chamber 51 of the casing cannot enter the second chamber 52 of the casing through the channel. That is, when the fan 53 rotates, the first chamber 51 of the casing is under negative pressure, and the pressure in the second chamber 52 of the casing is greater than the pressure in the first chamber 51 of the casing. Air in the second chamber 52 of the casing can enter the first chamber 51 of the casing through the channel, which can dissipate the heat in the second chamber 52 of the casing and reduce the impact of the heat dissipated by the compressor 54 on the electrical box. When the fan 53 rotates, splashing water cannot enter the second chamber 52 of the casing through the channel, avoiding contact between water and the electrical box and causing electrical failure. Therefore, the outdoor unit in this embodiment takes into account both heat dissipation and waterproofing functions of the electrical box, while improving assembly efficiency.
[0065] Preferably, the outer partition 1 is made of galvanized sheet; the waterproof box 2 is formed by bending sheet metal or by injection molding.
[0066] The specific structure of the channel is further explained below. The outer partition 1 has partition through holes 11. Specifically, there are multiple partition through holes 11, which are spaced apart on the partition. The structure of the partition through holes 11 is not limited and can be a square hole or other structures adapted to actual needs. The waterproof box 2 is set at the partition through hole 11.
[0067] The waterproof box 2 has an opening 221 at one end near the outer partition 1, and the box wall of the waterproof box 2 has a through hole 211. A flow cavity 231 and a receiving cavity 232 that are not connected to each other are formed between the waterproof box 2 and the outer partition 1.
[0068] The partition through hole 11, the box opening 221, the flow cavity 231, and the box through hole 211 are connected in sequence to form a channel, and the position of the partition through hole 11 is higher than the position of the box through hole 211. The air in the second chamber 52 of the housing can enter the first chamber 51 of the housing through the channel, thereby dissipating heat from the electrical box. When the fan 53 rotates, water splashes. When the splashed water flows through the box through hole 211, the box through hole 211 plays a certain role in blocking the water flow, greatly reducing the water's momentum. At the same time, since the position of the partition through hole 11 is higher than the position of the box through hole 211, the water entering the flow cavity 231 cannot enter the second chamber 52 of the housing through the partition through hole 11, but flows downward through the side wall of the flow cavity 231 and is discharged.
[0069] Water stored in the flow chamber 231 for a long time is prone to bacterial growth and needs to be drained in time. The following is a further explanation of the structure required to drain the water in the flow chamber 231. The waterproof box 2 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22 that are arranged opposite to each other. The second end 22 has an opening 221. Specifically, the second end 22 is completely open. A water guide wall 24 is formed at the bottom of the flow chamber 231 of the waterproof box 2. The water guide wall 24 is inclined downward from the first end 21 to the second end 22. A drain hole 241 is formed at the bottom of the water guide wall 24 of the waterproof box 2, that is, the drain hole 241 is close to the second end 22 of the box. Specifically, the drain hole 241 can be circular or square.
[0070] The water guide wall 24 is used to guide the water in the flow cavity 231 to the drain hole 241 and discharge it through the drain hole 241. That is, the water in the flow cavity 231 flows through the side wall of the flow cavity 231 to the water guide wall 24. Under the action of the water guide wall 24, the water gathers to the bottom of the water guide wall 24 and is discharged to the first chamber 51 of the casing through the drain hole 241.
[0071] Preferably, the waterproof box 2 has a cuboid structure, with its length direction being horizontal, its width direction being vertical, and its thickness direction being from the first end 21 to the second end 22.
[0072] The location and structure of the box through hole 211 are further explained below. The box wall of the waterproof box 2 away from the outer partition 1 has a box through hole 211, that is, the first end 21 of the box has a box through hole 211. The structure of the box through hole 211 can be circular or elongated. Preferably, the structure of the box through hole 211 is elongated. There are multiple box through holes 211, and the multiple box through holes 211 are spaced apart on the box wall of the waterproof box 2. Each box through hole 211 is connected to the flow cavity 231.
[0073] The following further describes the structure required for the communication module to be placed in the receiving cavity 232. The waterproof box 2 has an inner partition 3 inside. The inner partition 3 abuts against the outer partition 1 and separates the waterproof box 2 and the outer partition 1 into a flow cavity 231 and a receiving cavity 232, making the receiving cavity 232 a closed space to prevent water and dust from entering and causing the communication module 4 to fail. Specifically, the waterproof box 2 and the inner partition 3 are integrally formed.
[0074] The communication module 4 includes an antenna 41; the waterproof box 2 has a box limiting structure 25 inside the receiving cavity 232, and the box limiting structure 25 is used to set the antenna 41.
[0075] Specifically, the box limiting structure 25 can be a box limiting groove, and the antenna 41 is formed with an antenna 41 limiting buckle. The antenna 41 limiting buckle is locked in the box limiting groove, so that the antenna 41 and the waterproof box 2 are connected.
[0076] Specifically, in order to maximize the airflow through the channel, the inner partition 3 is designed in a Z-shape. While ensuring that the receiving cavity 232 can accommodate the communication module 4, the volume of the flow cavity 231 is increased and the volume of the receiving cavity 232 is reduced, so that the air in the second chamber 52 of the housing can enter the first chamber 51 of the housing as soon as possible, thereby improving the heat dissipation speed of the electrical box and ensuring the reliable operation of the electrical components.
[0077] Furthermore, the waterproof box 2 also has a box connection structure 26 formed inside the receiving cavity 232;
[0078] The communication module 4 includes a signal processing unit 42, and the housing of the signal processing unit 42 is formed with a housing connection structure 42.
[0079] The box connection structure 26 is used to cooperate with the housing connection structure 42 to connect the signal processing unit 42 and the waterproof box 2, and the signal processing unit 42 abuts against the antenna 41 from the second end 22 of the box to the first end 21 of the box.
[0080] The communication module 4 integrates the antenna 41 and the signal processing unit 42 into one unit, and brings the antenna 41 and the signal processing unit 42 close together to ensure stable data transmission and reception. The integrated structure makes installation convenient, improves installation efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0081] Specifically, the box connection structure 26 includes a box buckle 261 and a box mounting hole 262 arranged opposite to each other;
[0082] The housing connection structure 42 includes a housing buckle 421 and a housing mounting hole 422 arranged opposite to each other;
[0083] The box buckle 261 is used to engage with the housing buckle 421, and the box mounting hole 262 is used to mate with the housing mounting hole 422 and be connected by screws, so that the signal processing unit 42 and the antenna 41 are firmly set in the receiving cavity 232.
[0084] The following is a further explanation of the structure required for the waterproof box 2 to be installed on the outer partition 1. The waterproof box 2 is provided with a mounting base 27 around the box opening 221. The mounting base 27 forms a mounting base connection structure. The outer partition 1 forms a partition connection structure 12.
[0085] The mounting base connection structure and the partition connection structure 12 connect the waterproof box 2 and the outer partition 1.
[0086] Specifically, the mounting base 27 has a ring structure and includes a top wall 271 and a bottom wall 272 arranged vertically opposite each other, and a left wall 273 and a right wall 274 arranged horizontally opposite each other.
[0087] The mounting base connection structure includes mounting holes 275 and mounting buckles 276. There are two mounting holes 275, which are respectively located on the top wall 271 and the bottom wall 272 of the mounting base. There are two mounting buckles 276, which are respectively located on the left side wall and the right side wall of the mounting base 27. That is, the two mounting holes 275 and the two mounting buckles 276 surround the outer periphery of the box opening 221.
[0088] The partition connecting structure 12 includes partition mounting holes 121 and partition slots 122. There are two partition mounting holes 121, which are respectively located above and below the partition through hole 11. There are two partition slots 122, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the partition through hole 11. That is, the two partition mounting holes 121 and the two partition slots 122 surround the outer periphery of the partition through hole 11. Specifically, the structure of the partition slot 122 is not limited and can be elongated.
[0089] The two seat mounting holes 275 and the two partition mounting holes 121 are matched one-to-one and connected by screws. The two seat buckles 276 and the two partition slots 122 are matched one-to-one and snapped together, so that the waterproof box 2 and the outer partition 1 are connected.
[0090] This embodiment provides an outdoor air conditioner unit, including the casing for an outdoor air conditioner unit as described in any of the above claims; the outdoor air conditioner unit includes an outdoor heat exchanger 55, a fan 53, a compressor 54, and an electrical box; the outdoor heat exchanger 55, the fan 53, the compressor 54, and the electrical box are all disposed inside the casing, the fan 53 is disposed on the air inlet side of the outdoor heat exchanger 55, the compressor 54 is disposed on the right side of the fan 53, and the electrical box is disposed above the compressor 54;
[0091] In addition, the outdoor heat exchanger 55 is installed in the first chamber 51 of the casing; an air inlet is formed on the front wall of the casing, and an air outlet is formed on the left or right wall of the casing. Both the air inlet and the air outlet are connected to the third chamber of the casing. When the fan 53 is running, outdoor air can enter the first chamber 51 of the casing through the air inlet, exchange heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 55, and then be discharged to the outside through the air outlet. When the outdoor air flows through the first chamber 51 of the casing, it creates a negative pressure in the first chamber 51 of the casing. The air in the second chamber 52 of the casing can enter the first chamber 51 of the casing through the channel and exchange heat with the air in the first chamber 51 of the casing. Finally, it is discharged to the outside through the air outlet, which reduces the heat of the electrical box.
[0092] In addition, the housing includes a chassis 56, an outdoor heat exchanger 55, a fan 53 and a compressor 54, all of which are mounted on the chassis 56.
