Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of outdoor ventilation and air conditioning units, specifically a waterproof sealing device for outdoor ventilation and air conditioning units. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, air conditioners have become one of the most popular household appliances in our daily lives. Air conditioners are mainly used to regulate and control parameters such as indoor temperature and humidity, thereby improving people's living and living comfort. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner discharges high-pressure and high-temperature gas from the indoor unit to the outside through a fan. The refrigerant liquid after condensation is then sent to the evaporator of the indoor unit through a capillary tube to evaporate into gas to absorb indoor heat. This cycle is repeated to adjust and control the indoor temperature.

[0003] Patent document CN219222675U discloses a protective housing for an outdoor unit of an air conditioning unit, comprising a main body with a connection hole at the front end and a vent hole on the left side of the connection hole. A shielding component is installed inside the main body, acting on the inner wall of the connection hole to seal it. The beneficial effects of this invention are: by pulling the adjusting block, the connection box can be moved, causing the first baffle to move to the left when the connection box moves to the left, and similarly, the second baffle is adjusted backward, thus sealing and shielding the connection hole and the vent hole. This prevents dust and impurities from entering the main body through the vent hole and corroding the internal components of the outdoor unit, and also prevents impurities from blocking the movement path of the internal components, thus avoiding affecting their operation.

[0004] However, research has revealed certain drawbacks in the use of the aforementioned air conditioning unit casing:

[0005] The installation environment of existing air conditioning unit casings is usually outdoors. On rainy days, rainwater will accumulate on the surface of the casing and can easily seep into the interior of the air conditioning unit through gaps.
