[0029] In air conditioning applications, the outdoor unit is frequently exposed to rain. In related technologies, there are installation gaps between the panels of the outdoor unit's casing, allowing rainwater to easily seep into the unit. The electrical control box inside the outdoor unit has high waterproofing requirements; if rainwater drips onto it, it may cause short circuits or other malfunctions, affecting the normal operation of the air conditioning unit.

[0030] Current water-blocking structures or measures still suffer from problems such as complex structures leading to high costs and poor water-blocking effects, failing to effectively solve the problem of rainwater entering the air conditioning unit and dripping onto the electrical control box. Therefore, there is a need for an air conditioning liquid baffle that is simple in structure, easy to install, and has a good water-blocking effect.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 6 An air conditioner 100 provided by this utility model includes a housing 10 and a baffle plate 12. The baffle plate 12 includes a main body 14 and a connecting part 16. The connecting part 16 is connected to the main body 14. The housing 10 includes a top plate 18 and a panel 20. The top plate 18 is provided with a perimeter edge 22. The panel 20 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the perimeter edge 22. The baffle plate 12 is installed on the inner side of the panel 20 and the connecting part 16 is located on the inner side of the perimeter edge 22.

[0032] In the air conditioner 100 described above, the panel 20 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the surrounding part 22, and the connecting part 16 is located on the inner side of the surrounding part 22. To a certain extent, this can prevent liquid from contacting other components inside the air conditioner 100 through the gap 21 between the top plate 18 and the surrounding part 22 of the panel 20, thereby protecting the internal structure of the air conditioner 100 and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioning unit.

[0033] Specifically, the air conditioner 100 includes, but is not limited to, indoor units, outdoor units, and integrated indoor and outdoor units.

[0034] The air conditioner 100 includes a housing 10 and a baffle plate 12. The baffle plate 12 includes a top plate 18 and a panel 20. The periphery of the top plate 18 is provided with a surrounding edge 22, which is used to strengthen the structural strength of the top plate 18 and to facilitate increasing the contact area when installing with other panels.

[0035] The panel 20 is installed in front of the air conditioner 100. When the panel 20 is fixedly installed with the top plate 18, the inner side of the panel 20 is fixedly connected with the edge 22 of the top plate 18, and an upward gap 21 is formed between the panel 20 and the top plate 18.

[0036] The liquid baffle 12 is installed on the inner side of the panel 20. The connecting part 16 on the liquid baffle 12 is located on the inner side of the surrounding part 22. Along the vertical direction of the air conditioner 100, after the liquid falls into the gap 21 formed between the panel 20 and the top plate 18, it will flow to the side of the main body 14 of the liquid baffle 12 facing the panel 20 and be blocked by the liquid baffle 12. The components such as the electrical control box inside the housing 10 are located on the side of the main body 14 away from the panel 20, so they can be protected by the liquid baffle 12 to prevent the liquid from falling into the electrical control box.

[0037] The baffle plate 12 includes a main body 14 and a connecting portion 16. Optionally, in one embodiment, the main body 14 and the connecting portion 16 are connected by welding. Optionally, in one embodiment, the main body 14 and the connecting portion 16 are formed by an integral molding process.

[0038] In some embodiments, the width of the connecting portion 16 matches the width of the panel 20.

[0039] In this way, the gap 21 formed between the panel 20 and the top plate 18 can be basically completely covered.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the width of the connecting part 16 and the width of the panel 20 refer to the dimensions of the connecting part 16 and the panel 20 along the left-right direction of the air conditioner 100, respectively. The length of the gap 21 formed between the panel 20 and the top plate 18 is the width of the panel 20. The width of the connecting part 16 matches the width of the panel 20, which can be understood as the width of the connecting part 16 being the same as or substantially the same as the width of the panel 20. That is, within a certain error range, the width of the connecting part 16 is the same as the width of the panel 20.

[0041] Therefore, the connecting part 16 can completely cover the gap 21 formed between the panel 20 and the top plate 18, preventing external liquid from dripping into components such as the electrical control box inside the housing 10 through this gap 21.

[0042] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the main body 14 and the connecting part 16 of the liquid baffle 12 are arranged and installed in the vertical direction, so that the liquid baffle 12 can cover the internal structure of the housing 10.

[0043] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the main body 14 and the connecting part 16 of the baffle plate 12 are arranged in a vertical direction. The connecting part 16 is located inside the edge part 22. The main body 14 is inclined towards the panel 20. In this way, the baffle plate 12 can block the gap 21 formed between the panel 20 and the top plate 18. At the same time, the inclination of the main body 14 towards the panel 20 can guide the liquid falling onto the main body 14 and prevent the liquid from accumulating on the baffle plate 12.

[0044] In one implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the main body 14 and the connecting part 16 of the baffle plate 12 form a certain angle in the vertical direction. The connecting part 16 is located inside the surrounding part 22. The main body 14 is inclined toward the panel 20. Thus, the liquid falling onto the main body 14 can be guided by the inclination of the main body 14 toward the panel 20.

[0045] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the baffle plate 12 further includes a flow guide 24, which is disposed below the connecting portion 16 and is inclined in a direction from the inside of the perimeter portion 22 to the outside of the perimeter portion 22.

[0046] Thus, by forming a guide portion 24 on the main body 14 of the baffle plate 12, the liquid flowing to the main body 14 can fall quickly and avoid accumulating on the main body 14 of the baffle plate 12.

[0047] Specifically, the guide portion 24 is located below the connecting portion 16. The guide portion 24 is inclined from the inner side of the surrounding portion 22 to the outer side of the surrounding portion 22, that is, the upper edge of the guide portion 24 faces the rear of the air conditioner 100, and the lower edge of the guide portion 24 faces the front of the air conditioner 100. The guide portion 24 is formed on the main body 14 of the baffle plate 12, which allows the liquid flowing to the main body 14 to fall quickly, avoiding prolonged residence and accumulation on the main body 14 of the baffle plate 12, and preventing liquid from overflowing the edge of the baffle plate 12 and causing leakage, corrosion of the baffle plate 12 material, and bacterial growth.

[0048] In addition, reducing the accumulation of liquid on the main body 14 can reduce the degree of erosion and damage to the liquid baffle 12, help maintain the structural integrity and functional stability of the liquid baffle 12, extend its service life, and ensure that the liquid baffle 12 can continue to play a shielding role effectively during long-term use.

[0049] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments, the flow guide 24 includes a first flow guide 24a and a second flow guide 24b. The first flow guide 24a is disposed below the connecting portion 16, and the second flow guide 24b is disposed on the main body 14 in a vertical direction and is connected to the first flow guide 24a.

[0050] In this way, the flow path of the liquid on the baffle plate 12 can be better controlled. On the one hand, the liquid can fall quickly, and on the other hand, the liquid flow can be prevented from getting out of control and leaking into the housing 10.

[0051] Specifically, the second guide section 24b includes a guide channel disposed on the main body 14, and the first guide section 24a is disposed below the connecting section 16, which can initially receive the liquid flowing down from the connecting section 16 and change the flow direction of the liquid, causing it to flow in a specific direction. The second guide section 24b is vertically disposed on the main body 14 and connected to the first guide section 24a, further guiding the liquid to fall vertically. The combination of the first guide section 24a and the second guide section 24b provides a clearer and more efficient guide path for the liquid, allowing the liquid to flow more smoothly and avoiding disordered flow or backflow during the guide process.

[0052] The first guide section 24a and the second guide section 24b work together to expand the range and area of ​​the guide, increase the ability to receive and guide liquid, and effectively guide the liquid to the designated position when there is a lot of liquid, prevent the liquid from accumulating on the main body 14 of the baffle plate 12, and improve the ability of the baffle plate 12 to cope with different liquid flow conditions.

[0053] In one embodiment, the baffle plate 12 includes a plurality of second guide sections 24b, which are arranged below the first guide section 24a. This improves the liquid carrying and guiding capacity of the guide section 24a and provides good shielding and protection for the internal structure of the housing 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, the housing 10 also includes a liquid reservoir disposed directly below the baffle plate 12.

[0055] In this way, the liquid falling onto the baffle plate 12 can fall into the liquid storage box, avoiding accumulation on the baffle plate 12 or flowing to other locations and affecting the components inside the housing 10.

[0056] Specifically, by placing the liquid storage box directly below the liquid baffle 12, the liquid falling from the liquid baffle 12 can be accurately collected, thus achieving effective collection of the liquid and preventing it from scattering everywhere or overflowing due to excessive accumulation. This prevents the liquid from flowing to other locations inside the housing 10, thereby avoiding adverse effects such as short circuits and corrosion on the components inside the housing 10. This ensures the normal operation and service life of the components inside the housing 10 and improves the reliability and stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0057] In addition, directing the liquid to the reservoir helps keep the inside of the equipment clean, reducing the accumulation of stains and impurities that may result from liquid residue, and making the maintenance and cleaning of the air conditioner 100 easier.

[0058] Optionally, in one embodiment, the flow guide 24 includes a first flow guide 24a and a second flow guide 24b. The first flow guide 24a is disposed below the connecting portion 16, and the second flow guide 24b is disposed vertically on the main body 14 and connected to the first flow guide 24a. The liquid storage box is disposed directly below the second flow guide 24b, so that the liquid falling onto the baffle plate 12 can quickly and accurately fall into the liquid storage box, avoiding accumulation on the baffle plate 12.

[0059] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the air guide 24 extends from the midpoint of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction on the main body 14 to the edge, and the width of the air guide 24 is smaller than the width of the main body 14.

[0060] In this way, liquid can be prevented from overflowing from the edge of the baffle plate 12 and flowing into the interior of the housing 10.

[0061] Specifically, the guide section 24 extends from the midpoint of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction to the edge, so that the liquid flowing down from the middle and top of the air conditioner 100 can be guided along the direction of the guide section 24 to the bottom of the baffle plate 12, so as to avoid the liquid accumulating in the middle of the baffle plate 12 and ensure that the liquid can be drained smoothly.

[0062] The width of the guide section 24 is smaller than the width of the main body 14, forming a non-guided area of ​​a certain width at the edge of the baffle plate 12. This can prevent the liquid from overflowing from both sides of the guide section 24 due to excessive flow velocity or other reasons during the guiding process, thus playing a role in containment and ensuring that the liquid can only flow out from a specific position at the edge of the baffle plate 12, thereby improving the baffle plate 12's ability to constrain the liquid.

[0063] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 includes a support structure 26, the housing 10 includes a side plate 28, the side plate 28 is mounted on the support structure 26, and the liquid baffle 12 is fixedly connected to the support structure 26 and the side plate 28 respectively.

[0064] In this way, the liquid baffle 12 can be stably fixed.

[0065] Specifically, by fixing the baffle 12 to the support structure 26 and the side plate 28 respectively, the baffle 12 can be more stably installed in the air conditioner 100. The support structure 26 provides the main support force for the baffle 12, ensuring that it will not easily deform or shake when subjected to the weight of liquid and other external forces. The connection of the side plate 28 further restricts the displacement of the baffle 12 in the lateral direction, so that the baffle 12 forms a stable structure inside the air conditioner 100, improving the reliability and durability of the entire air conditioner 100.

[0066] Furthermore, the support structure 26 and the side plate 28 have clearly defined positional and dimensional accuracy. The baffle plate 12 is fixedly connected to the support structure 26 and the side plate 28 respectively, which facilitates the installer to accurately install the baffle plate 12 into the predetermined position, reduces installation errors, and improves installation efficiency. At the same time, this fixed connection method also facilitates standardized assembly during the production process, which is beneficial for large-scale production.

[0067] Please see Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the baffle plate 12 further includes a blocking portion 30, one end of which is connected to the side of the main body 14 near the side plate 28 and bent toward the side plate 28.

[0068] This enhances the shielding ability of the liquid baffle 12.

[0069] Specifically, the shielding part 30 is connected to the side of the main body 14 near the side plate 28 and bends towards the side plate 28, forming an additional shielding structure at the connection between the baffle plate 12 and the side plate 28. This effectively prevents liquid from seeping or splashing out from the gap between the baffle plate 12 and the side plate 28, further improving the shielding capability of the baffle plate 12, ensuring that the liquid is confined within the area enclosed by the baffle plate 12, and protecting other internal components of the air conditioner 100 from liquid corrosion.

[0070] The shielding part 30 can shield the connection part 16, which protects the connection part 16 between the baffle plate 12 and the side plate 28, thereby reducing the direct scouring and erosion of the connection part 16 by the liquid, reducing the possibility of corrosion and loosening of the connection part 16 due to long-term contact with the liquid, thus extending the service life of the connection between the baffle plate 12 and the side plate 28, and ensuring the stability and sealing of the entire structure.

[0071] Please see Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the shielding portion 30 includes a first portion 30a and a second portion 30b. One end of the first portion 30a is connected to the side of the main body 14 near the side plate 28 and is bent toward the side plate 28. One end of the second portion 30b is connected to the first portion 30a and is bent toward the panel 20.

[0072] In this way, the shielding and leak-proof functions of the liquid baffle 12 can be enhanced.

[0073] Specifically, the first part 30a bends towards the side panel 28, forming an initial barrier between the liquid baffle 12 and the side panel 28 to prevent liquid from leaking through the gap between them. Building on this, the second part 30b bends again from the first part 30a towards the panel 20, requiring the liquid to change direction twice before bypassing the baffle 30. This greatly reduces the possibility of liquid leakage and more effectively protects the internal components of the air conditioner 100 from liquid damage.

[0074] The first part 30a guides the liquid to flow along its surface toward the side plate 28, while the bend in the second part 30b guides the liquid toward the panel 20 after it reaches the end of the first part 30a, thus forming a liquid collection in a specific area of ​​the baffle 12 and preventing the liquid from flowing randomly and splashing everywhere on the baffle 12. The bend of the second part 30b toward the panel 20 also shields the area above the connection 16 between the baffle 12 and the side plate 28, further protecting the connection 16 from liquid corrosion and extending the service life of the connection.

[0075] The combination of the first part 30a and the second part 30b can block the direction of the side plate 28, preventing liquid from entering the interior of the housing 10 from the edge of the side plate 28.

[0076] Furthermore, the connection between the first part 30a and the main body 14 and the side plate 28 provides basic support, and the connection between the second part 30b and the first part 30a further strengthens the entire shielding part 30, enabling it to better withstand the impact of liquid and its own weight, making it less prone to deformation or damage, and increasing the structural strength and stability of the shielding part 30.

[0077] In one implementation, such as Figure 11As shown, a reinforcing rib 32 is provided at the connection between the first part 30a and the main body 14. The reinforcing rib 32 includes a strip structure arranged in a horizontal direction, or the reinforcing rib 32 includes a crisscrossing strip structure. The function of the reinforcing rib 32 is to enhance the overall strength and rigidity of the liquid baffle 12, so that it is not easily deformed during long-term use, and to ensure the stability of the liquid baffle 12's shielding function.

[0078] Please see Figure 11 In some embodiments, the baffle plate 12 is provided with a first limiting part 34, and the support structure 26 and / or the side plate 28 is provided with a second limiting part. The structures of the first limiting part 34 and the second limiting part are matched to limit the position of the baffle plate 12 on the support structure 26 and / or the side plate 28.

[0079] This allows for precise positioning of the liquid baffle 12, which helps improve installation efficiency.

[0080] Specifically, the first limiting part 34 and the second limiting part are structurally matched, which can accurately limit the position of the baffle plate 12 on the support structure 26 and the side plate 28, ensuring that the baffle plate 12 is installed in the precise position designed, avoiding positional deviation during installation, and ensuring that the relative positional relationship between the baffle plate 12 and other components is accurate, which is beneficial to the compactness and rationality of the internal structure of the entire air conditioner 100.

[0081] The design of the limiting part makes the installation process simpler and faster. When installing the baffle 12, the installer only needs to align and engage the first limiting part 34 with the corresponding second limiting part to quickly determine the installation position of the baffle 12, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments and measurements, reducing installation time and workload, and improving production assembly efficiency. When maintenance or replacement of the baffle 12 is required, the design of the limiting part also facilitates disassembly and reinstallation. Because the position of the baffle 12 is precisely defined by the limiting part, it can be easily restored to its original accurate position after disassembly and reinstallation, ensuring smooth maintenance and replacement work and reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.

[0082] In one embodiment, the first limiting portion 34 includes one of a protrusion and a groove, and the second limiting portion includes the other of a protrusion and a groove. The protrusion and groove cooperate to position and limit the liquid baffle 12 on the support structure 26 and / or side plate 28 during installation, ensuring that the liquid baffle 12 is installed in the accurate position and improving the accuracy and stability of the installation.

[0083] Please see Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the main body 14 has a first mounting hole 36, the support structure 26 has a second mounting hole, and the baffle plate 12 includes fasteners that pass through the first mounting hole 36 and the second mounting hole to fix the main body 14 and the support structure 26.

[0084] This can improve installation efficiency and enhance installation reliability.

[0085] Specifically, fasteners pass through the first mounting hole 36 and the second mounting hole to fix the main body 14 of the baffle plate 12 to the support structure 26, so that the baffle plate 12 can be stably installed on the support structure 26. This connection method can withstand certain external forces, including the weight of the liquid and the vibration generated by the air conditioner 100 during operation, ensuring that the baffle plate 12 will not easily loosen or fall off during use, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0086] With the help of mounting holes and fasteners, the installation steps are simple. Installers can quickly align the main body 14 of the baffle plate 12 with the support structure 26 and then connect them with fasteners. This reduces installation time and workload, improves production and assembly efficiency, reduces installation difficulty, and facilitates mass production and standardized operation.

[0087] When maintenance or replacement of the baffle plate 12 is required, the main body 14 of the baffle plate 12 can be removed from the support structure 26 simply by disassembling the fasteners. This operation is simple and reduces maintenance costs and difficulty. At the same time, when reinstalling the baffle plate 12 after maintenance, its original installation state can be quickly restored through the mounting holes and fasteners.

[0088] In one implementation, the fastener includes a screw. Screw connections are simple, convenient, and highly reliable.

[0089] Please see Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the baffle plate 12 includes a mounting portion 38 disposed on the shielding portion 30. The mounting portion 38 has a third mounting hole 40, and the side plate 28 has a fourth mounting hole. The baffle plate 12 includes a fastener that passes through the third mounting hole 40 and the fourth mounting hole to fix the shielding portion 30 and the side plate 28.

[0090] This facilitates the installation of the baffle plate 12 and the side plate 28.

[0091] Specifically, the mounting part 38 is provided on the first part 30a of the shielding part 30. One end of the first part 30a is connected to the side of the main body 14 near the side plate 28 and bent toward the side plate 28. The mounting part 38 is provided on the first part 30a in a direction parallel to the panel 20. In this way, the mounting directions of the first mounting hole 36 and the second mounting hole, the third mounting hole 40 and the fourth mounting hole are consistent, which facilitates the installation of the liquid baffle 12.

[0092] The third and fourth mounting holes provide accurate positioning for the installation of the shielding part 30 on the side panel 28. During installation, simply aligning the two mounting holes and connecting them with fasteners ensures that the shielding part 30 is installed in the correct position, guaranteeing accurate relative positioning between the shielding part 30 and other components, which is beneficial for the rational layout of the internal structure of the entire air conditioner 100.

[0093] In one embodiment, the surface of the liquid baffle 12 is provided with markings, which may include, but are not limited to, text, patterns or symbols, to indicate the installation direction, installation precautions and other information, so as to facilitate the correct installation of the liquid baffle 12 by the installers.

[0094] In summary, the connecting part 16 of the baffle plate 12 is located inside the edge part 22, which can prevent rainwater and other liquids from entering from the top gap 21. The guide part 24 and the shielding part 30 work together to effectively guide and block the liquid that crosses the top gap 21, greatly reducing the possibility of liquid entering the air conditioner 100 housing 10 and dripping onto the electrical control box, thus ensuring the normal operation and safe use of the air conditioner 100.
