In some other embodiments, the cover plate 3 includes a top wall 32 and a side wall 33, and the side wall 33 surrounds the circumference of the top wall 32. The extension portion 34 is an extension side that extends vertically from the second side edge of the side wall 33 near the first panel 2 in a direction away from the top wall 32.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the housing structure of the outdoor unit also includes a partition 5, which is used to divide the outdoor unit into a first cavity 6 and a second cavity 7, and the electronic control module 1 is disposed in the first cavity 6.

[0062] like Figure 10 As shown, the partition 5 has a mounting portion 51 on its third side edge near the first panel 2, such as... Figure 11 As shown, at least a portion of the mounting portion 51 is stacked with the first panel 2, and the stacked portion is located below the drainage channel 4. It can be understood that at least a portion can be a part or all of it.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the partition 5 is set at an angle to the cover plate 3 and the first panel 2, respectively, or for example, the partition 5 is set perpendicular to the cover plate 3 and the first panel 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the extension 34 extends to be stacked with at least a portion of the mounting portion 51, and water brought in by the extension 34 can flow down along the mounting portion 51.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the mounting portion 51 is a flange extending from the third side edge of the partition 5 near the first panel 2 towards the first cavity 6, then towards the first panel 2, and finally towards the first cavity 6. For example, Figure 10 As shown, the cross-section of the mounting part 51 has a "Z" shaped structure.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12As shown, the drainage channel 4 includes a drain outlet, which is located on the side of the drainage channel 4 away from the central axis of the outdoor unit. The housing structure of the outdoor unit also includes a blocking plate 8, which is disposed on the side of the drainage channel 4 away from the drain outlet and is used to block it.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the outdoor unit's housing structure also includes a water guide channel 9, which is located at and connected to the drain outlet of the drainage channel 4. The water guide channel 9 is used to guide water flow. For example, the water guide channel 9 is a section of the channel that slopes downwards from the drain outlet and gradually moves away from it.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outdoor unit's housing structure also includes a first side plate 10, a fourth side edge of the cover plate 3 near the first side plate 10 that is detachably connected to the first side plate 10, and a fifth side edge of the first panel 2 near the first side plate 10 that is detachably connected to the first side plate 10. Figure 13 As shown, the water guide channel 9 connects to the gap 11 at the connection between the first panel 2 and the first side plate 10.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fourth side edge of the cover plate 3 near the first side plate 10 bends downward and extends to cover the first side plate 10 and is detachably connected to the first side plate 10.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the water guide channel 9 is integrally formed with the cover plate 3 or the first side plate 10; or, the water guide channel 9 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 3 or the first side plate 10. The blocking plate 8 is integrally formed with the cover plate 3 or the first panel 2; or, the blocking plate 8 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 3 or the first panel 2.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the outdoor unit's housing structure also includes a second panel 12, which is located on the same side as and adjacent to the first panel 2. The heights of the first panel 2 and the second panel 12 are the same as the height of the outdoor unit, and the first panel 2 and the second panel 12 substantially completely cover the cover plate 3 in the height direction. Specifically, the outdoor unit has a length direction X, a width direction Y, and a height direction Z. The first panel 2 and the second panel 12 substantially completely cover one side wall 33 of the cover plate 3 in the height direction Z, meaning that the tops of the first panel 2 and the second panel 12 are at least level with the top of the cover plate 3, meaning that the cover plate 3 is not visible from the front view. Furthermore, the first panel 2 corresponds to the first cavity 6, and the second panel 12 corresponds to the second cavity 7.

[0072] like Figure 14 As shown, the fifth side edge of the second panel 12 near the first panel 2 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 51 of the partition 5, for example, by means of screws.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner surface of the first panel 2 near the sixth side edge of the second panel 12 is provided with at least one downward-facing hook 22. Figure 14 As shown, the second panel 12 has at least one locking hole 121 near the fifth side edge of the first panel 2. The locking hook 22 engages in the locking hole 121, and the first panel 2 can block the connecting screw between the second panel 12 and the partition 5. It can be understood that at least one can be one, two, three, or any number. When there are multiple locking hooks 22 and multiple locking holes 121, the multiple locking hooks 22 are vertically spaced on the sixth side edge of the first panel 2, and the multiple locking holes 121 are vertically spaced on the fifth side edge of the second panel 12.

[0074] In some embodiments, the hook 22 extends away from the first panel 2. For example, Figure 10 As shown, the section of the mounting part 51 that extends from the third side edge toward the first cavity 6 and then toward the first panel 2 has a "7" shaped cross-section. This section can form an accommodating space, in which the hook 22 can be accommodated when it passes through the card hole 121.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14As shown, the card hole 121 includes a first hole portion 1211 and a second hole portion 1212 that are connected vertically. The first hole portion 1211 is located above the second hole portion 1212. The width of the second hole portion 1212 is adapted to the thickness of the hook 22, and the width of the second hole portion 1212 is smaller than the width of the first hole portion 1211. A third hole portion 1213 is provided between the first hole portion 1211 and the second hole portion 1212. The third hole portion 1213 is connected to the first hole portion 1211 and the second hole portion 1212. The width of the third hole portion 1213 gradually decreases from the first hole portion 1211 towards the second hole portion 1212.

[0076] In some embodiments, during assembly, the second panel 12 is first installed on the mounting portion 51 of the partition 5 using screws. Then, the first bent portion 21 of the first panel 2 is aligned with the second bent portion 31 of the cover plate 3, and the hook 22 of the first panel 2 is aligned with the locking hole 121 of the second panel 12. Under the action of external force and its own weight, the first bent portion 21 and the second bent portion 31 of the first panel 2 interlock, and the hook 22 engages in the locking hole 121, thus securing the first panel 2. Then, the first panel 2 is installed on the first side plate 10 using screws. For disassembly and maintenance, simply remove the screws between the first panel 2 and the first side plate 10, and the first panel 2 can be lifted and removed by external force.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing structure of the outdoor unit also includes a second side plate 13 and a back plate (not shown). The seventh side edge of the second panel 12 near the second side plate 13 is detachably connected to the second side plate 13. The eighth side edge of the second side plate 13 near the back plate is detachably connected to the back plate. The ninth side edge of the first side plate 10 near the back plate is detachably connected to the back plate.

[0078] It should be noted that the detachable connection mentioned above refers to screw connection, etc., and the fixed connection mentioned above refers to welding, etc. The screw connection and welding mentioned here are just examples and are not intended to limit this application.
