Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and more specifically, to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner and an air conditioner having therein. Background Technology

[0002] In the current air conditioning technology field, fresh air conditioning systems are widely used to improve indoor air quality, especially in enclosed or semi-enclosed environments, where they can effectively introduce fresh air. However, these systems generally lack the function of increasing indoor oxygen concentration. With the increasing awareness of health, oxygen-generating air conditioners are gradually gaining market attention because they can create a slightly oxygen-rich indoor environment, thereby improving breathing comfort and benefiting health.

[0003] Currently, existing oxygen-generating air conditioners generally install the oxygen-generating components inside the outdoor unit. However, due to the variable outdoor environment, especially in summer, the oxygen-generating components generate a lot of heat during operation. Because the internal components of the outdoor unit are compact and complex, the heat dissipation effect of the oxygen-generating components is poor. Especially in high-temperature environments or under long-term working conditions, excessively high temperatures will not only reduce the working efficiency of the air compressor, but also shorten its service life.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] As mentioned in the background section, current air conditioners on the market can only improve indoor air quality by introducing outdoor air into the room, but they cannot increase the oxygen concentration in the indoor air. Oxygen generators can increase the indoor oxygen concentration, creating a slightly oxygen-rich environment and improving breathing comfort; however, oxygen generators are usually located in the outdoor unit. Prolonged use of these devices can lead to temperature increases. Due to the compact and complex internal components of the outdoor unit, the heat dissipation of the oxygen generator components is poor. Furthermore, excessively high temperatures not only reduce the efficiency of the air compressor but also shorten its lifespan. Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned technical problems, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided in this application divides the casing 300 into a first casing 310 and a second casing 320. The oxygen generating component 100 is disposed in the first casing 310, and the axial flow fan 200 is disposed in the second casing 320. An air inlet 400 is provided on the first casing 310, and at least a part of the air inlet 400 is disposed opposite to the oxygen generating component 100 so that, under the guiding action of the axial flow fan 200, ambient air is allowed to enter the first casing 310 through the air inlet 400 to dissipate heat from the oxygen generating component 100. Since the air inlet 400 is connected to the ambient air, the axial flow fan 200 can utilize the outdoor ambient air to carry away the heat emitted from the surface of the oxygen generating component 100 as the outdoor ambient air flows through it. The heat is then discharged through the exhaust port of the axial flow fan 200. During the operation of the oxygen generating component 100, heat dissipation is continuously provided to prevent the temperature of the oxygen generating component 100 from becoming too high and reducing the working efficiency of the air compressor. In addition, by utilizing the existing axial flow fan 200 in the outdoor unit, no additional air intake or blowing components are needed, saving installation space in the outdoor unit. By directly setting the air inlet 400 on the first housing 310, the airflow directly blows onto the oxygen generating component 100, making the airflow smoother and optimizing the heat dissipation effect of the oxygen generating component 100.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9This application provides an outdoor air conditioner unit, including an oxygen generating component 100 and an axial flow fan 200. The outdoor air conditioner unit also includes: a housing 300, which includes a first housing 310 and a second housing 320 connected to each other. The oxygen generating component 100 is disposed in the first housing 310, and the axial flow fan 200 is disposed in the second housing 320; and an air inlet 400, which is disposed on the first housing 310. At least a portion of the air inlet 400 is disposed opposite to the oxygen generating component 100 so that, under the guidance of the axial flow fan 200, ambient air is allowed to enter the first housing 310 through the air inlet 400 to dissipate heat from the oxygen generating component 100.

[0037] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided in this application includes an oxygen generating component 100 and an axial flow fan 200. The outdoor unit also includes a housing 300 and an air inlet 400. The housing 300 includes a first housing 310 and a second housing 320 connected to each other. The oxygen generating component 100 is disposed in the first housing 310, and the axial flow fan 200 is disposed in the second housing 320. The air inlet 400 is disposed on the first housing 310, and at least a portion of the air inlet 400 is disposed opposite to the oxygen generating component 100 so that, under the guiding action of the axial flow fan 200, ambient air enters the first housing 310 through the air inlet 400 to dissipate heat from the oxygen generating component 100.

[0038] By positioning the air inlet 400 opposite the oxygen generating component 100, the axial flow fan effectively guides ambient air circulation, thereby dissipating heat from the oxygen generating component. This not only improves the working efficiency of the oxygen generating module but also extends its service life, especially during long-term operation, preventing system failures or performance degradation caused by overheating.

[0039] The oxygen generating component 100 and the axial flow fan 200 are respectively placed in the first housing 310 and the second housing 320. This partitioned design helps to optimize the internal space layout of the housing, reduce interference between components, and facilitates later maintenance and component replacement, thereby improving the maintainability and reliability of the product.

[0040] In the specific implementation process, the air intake 400 includes: an air intake channel 401, with an air intake opening 402 and an air outlet opening 403 at both ends of the air intake channel 401. The air outlet opening 403 is arranged opposite to the oxygen generation component 100, and the air intake opening 402 is in communication with the ambient air. The air intake opening 402 is located below the air outlet opening 403, and the air intake opening 402 is arranged horizontally or inclined towards the direction of the air outlet opening.

[0041] The air inlet 402 is located below the air outlet 403, and its orientation or tilt direction is towards the oxygen generating component 100. This structure ensures that air is smoothly drawn in from a low position and then flows directly to the oxygen generating component, providing a stable airflow supply, which helps to improve oxygen generation efficiency and air circulation efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0042] The air inlet 402 is positioned horizontally or tilted towards the air outlet, effectively preventing rainwater from directly entering and reducing the risk of rainwater entering the air conditioner's interior through the opening. This improves the outdoor unit's waterproof performance and ensures safe operation of the equipment under harsh weather conditions. Optimizing the air inlet design ensures protection of the outdoor unit's internal components, preventing short circuits or other malfunctions caused by water ingress, while also reducing maintenance costs.

[0043] In one embodiment provided in this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet 400 includes: an air inlet body 410, disposed on the first housing 310, an air inlet channel 401 disposed inside the air inlet body 410, an air inlet opening 402 and an air outlet opening 403 at both ends of the air inlet channel 401 respectively disposed on the air inlet body 410, the air inlet opening 402 communicating with the ambient air, and the air outlet opening 403 disposed opposite to the oxygen generating component 100; a handle 420, disposed on the air inlet body 410, the handle 420 being recessed from the outer wall surface of the air inlet body 410 toward the direction close to the first housing 310 to form an operating area on the air inlet body 410; wherein, the handle 420 is disposed above the air inlet opening 402.

[0044] The design of the air inlet channel 401 ensures that fresh outside air can flow smoothly into the oxygen generating module 100, carrying away the heat generated during its operation. This direct heat exchange method effectively reduces the operating temperature of the oxygen generating module, preventing performance degradation or damage caused by high temperatures, thereby extending the service life of the air compressor and other critical components.

[0045] Integrating the handle 420 and the air inlet 402 onto the air inlet body 410 makes the overall structure of the outdoor unit more compact. The handle 420 is formed by an inward recess from the outer wall of the air inlet body 410, which not only does not affect the airflow of the air inlet 402, but also creates a comfortable operating area. When moving the outdoor unit, users can directly grasp the handle without worrying about obstructing the air inlet or finding an additional gripping position, greatly improving the safety and convenience of the moving process.

[0046] The recessed design of the handle also provides some rain protection. Even in rainy weather, the handle can partially block the air intake, reducing the risk of rainwater entering directly. At the same time, this integrated design helps to block large dust particles from the outside, indirectly improving the equipment's dust resistance and maintaining the cleanliness and operational efficiency of internal components.

[0047] The handle is built into the air intake body 410, which reduces the space required for installation compared to the traditional protruding handle, allowing the outdoor unit to be flexibly arranged in a smaller environment.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, an air inlet channel 401 is provided with a guide section 404, which includes a guide end face 4040. The guide end face 4040 is surrounded by at least a portion of the outer wall of the handle section 420 to guide the airflow in the air inlet channel 401 to the air outlet 403.

[0049] The airflow guide end face 4040 is formed by part of the outer wall of the handle part 420. This design can guide the airflow to enter more directly and effectively from the air inlet 402 and flow quickly to the air outlet 403, reducing the turbulence and resistance of the airflow in the channel and making the airflow smoother.

[0050] By utilizing the structure of the handle 420 as part of the airflow guide, the use of additional airflow guides is reduced, simplifying the structural design of the entire outdoor air conditioning unit, saving internal space, and contributing to the compactness and lightweight of the overall design, making it easier to transport and install.

[0051] The sidewall of the first housing 310 is recessed toward the center of the first housing 310 to form a recessed area. An air outlet 403 is provided in the recessed area, which is opposite to the oxygen generating component 100. The air inlet 400 includes an air inlet body 410, which is disposed on the first housing 310 and opposite to the recessed area, so as to form an air inlet channel 401 communicating with the air outlet 403 between the air inlet body 410 and the recessed area. The air inlet opening 402 of the air inlet channel 401 is disposed on the air inlet body 410.

[0052] By designing the sidewall of the first housing 310 to be concave towards the center, a dedicated recessed area is formed. An air outlet 403 is located within this area, corresponding to the air inlet body 410 of the air inlet section 400. This design creates a straight-through air inlet channel 401 from the air inlet body 410 to the air outlet 403. When the axial flow fan 200 starts, air flows rapidly along this channel and passes through the oxygen generating component, effectively carrying away the heat generated during oxygen generation, ensuring the stable operation of the oxygen generating component, and improving the overall system's heat dissipation efficiency.

[0053] The design of the recessed area, combined with the air intake, not only improves heat dissipation but also optimizes the structure. The air intake body fits snugly with the recessed area of ​​the first casing, reducing the overall space occupied and making the outdoor unit of the air conditioner more compact. This facilitates installation in narrow or specific environments and also leaves room for possible future component expansion.

[0054] The interconnected design of the air inlet channel 401 and the air outlet 403 not only addresses heat dissipation needs but also fully considers the rainproof requirements for outdoor use. The layout of the air inlet 402 and the air outlet 403, combined with the structural features of the first housing 310, effectively prevents rainwater from directly entering the oxygen generator assembly 100 area. Specifically, the air inlet body 410 blocks rainwater and other impurities, allowing them to fall into the recessed area and then be discharged through the air inlet 402. This protects internal components from moisture damage, improves the overall waterproof performance, and ensures normal operation under harsh weather conditions.

[0055] In the specific implementation process, the first housing 310 is provided with an installation opening 311, and at least a portion of the air inlet 400 is embedded in the first housing 310 through the installation opening 311; or, at least a portion of the air inlet 400 is provided on the outer wall of the first housing 310.

[0056] At least a portion of the air intake 400 is embedded in the first housing 310 through the mounting opening 311. This embedded design makes the most of the internal space of the first housing 310 and avoids the air intake occupying additional external space, making the overall design of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner more compact and easier to install in a limited space.

[0057] The embedded installation of the air inlet 400 makes the airflow path between the air inlet channel 401 and the inside of the housing more reasonable, reducing airflow resistance and turbulence and improving airflow efficiency. Air can enter directly from the air inlet opening 402, pass through the oxygen generating component 100, and be smoothly discharged from the air outlet opening 403, effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency and oxygen generation efficiency of the oxygen generating module.

[0058] The air inlet is embedded through the mounting opening 311 on the first housing, enhancing the connection stability between the air inlet 400 and the first housing 310 and preventing loosening or damage during prolonged use or when affected by external environmental factors (such as wind, vibration, etc.). Furthermore, this design also helps ensure the safety of the air inlet during handling or installation, reducing the risk of accidental collisions.

[0059] The recessed design of the 400mm air intake reduces protruding parts, making the outdoor unit of the air conditioner look simpler and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0060] By placing part of the air inlet 400 on the outer wall of the first housing 310, it can directly contact the ambient air, thereby improving airflow efficiency and heat exchange area. When the axial fan 200 is running, air can enter the air inlet channel from a wider angle, accelerating airflow circulation and effectively removing the heat generated by the oxygen generating component 100 during operation, ensuring the normal operating temperature of the oxygen generating component and extending its service life.

[0061] The external design of the 400 air inlet avoids obstacles inside the housing, reduces turbulence and resistance when air enters, allows air to flow in more smoothly, and improves the efficiency of airflow introduction.

[0062] In this application, as Figure 4 As shown, a support plate 312 is provided at the installation opening 311, and the support plate 312 is inclined towards the middle of the first housing 310; the air inlet 400 includes: an air inlet body 410, an air inlet channel 401 is provided inside the air inlet body 410, and the air outlet 403 of the air inlet channel 401 is opposite to the oxygen generating component 100; an assembly plate 411 is provided on the air inlet body 410, the assembly plate 411 extends from the air inlet body 410 in a direction away from the air inlet body 410, and the assembly plate 411 and the support plate 312 are attached to each other and connected to connect the air inlet body 410 to the first housing 310.

[0063] The inclined arrangement of the support plate 312 and the extended fit of the assembly plate 411 form a stable support structure. The tight fit and connection between the two ensures the stability of the air inlet 400 during the operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, reduces the risk of displacement or loosening caused by vibration or external impact, and enhances the overall structural safety of the equipment.

[0064] The tilt angle of the assembly plate 411 helps guide air to flow more naturally and efficiently into the air intake channel 401. Under the combined effect of gravity and the tilted surface, the air can directly reach the vicinity of the oxygen generating component 100 along the optimal path, accelerating the heat exchange process, improving the cooling effect of the oxygen generating module, and reducing performance degradation and failure rate caused by high temperature.

[0065] The tight fit between the support plate 312 and the assembly plate 411 forms a good sealing interface, effectively preventing the intrusion of external moisture and dust. This design, combined with the reasonable layout of the air inlet opening, further enhances the rain and dust protection of the air inlet, protects the internal oxygen generation components and other electronic devices, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0066] The tilt angle of the assembly plate 411 is the same as that of the bearing plate 312. The tilted assembly plate 411 can also guide the water flowing out of the air inlet channel 401.

[0067] In another embodiment provided in this application, such as Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the air inlet 400 includes: a first support member 430 disposed on the first housing 310, the first support member 430 having an air outlet 403 disposed opposite to the oxygen generating assembly 100; and a second support member 440 disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the first support member 430, forming an air inlet channel 401 communicating with the air outlet 403 between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440, the second support member 440 having an air inlet 402 disposed below the air outlet 403, so that the airflow flowing into the air inlet 402 flows upward to the air outlet 403 and then blows towards the oxygen generating assembly 100 under the obstruction of the first support member 430.

[0068] The relative arrangement of the first support member 430 and the second support member 440 provides a clear guide for the air intake channel, allowing the airflow to flow smoothly upward from the lower air intake opening 402 to the air outlet opening 403. This design utilizes the natural rising characteristic of air, effectively improving the guiding efficiency of the airflow and ensuring the directionality and continuity of the airflow.

[0069] The formation of the air inlet channel 401 allows ambient air to be blown more directly and effectively onto the oxygen generating component 100, thereby accelerating heat exchange and dissipation. When the airflow enters through the air inlet opening, it is blocked and guided by the first support member 430, and can cover the oxygen generating component 100 more evenly, improving heat dissipation efficiency and the operational stability of the oxygen generating component 100.

[0070] With the air outlet 403 located at the top and the air inlet 402 located at the bottom and shielded by the first support member 430, this arrangement effectively prevents rainwater from directly entering the oxygen generating component 100 area during rainy weather, reducing the risk of water erosion and corrosion. Simultaneously, the first support member 430 acts as a dust barrier, blocking some large dust particles, protecting internal components from contamination, and extending the equipment's lifespan.

[0071] The design of forming an air intake channel 401 using the first support member 430 and the second support member 440 effectively improves the operating efficiency and user experience of the outdoor unit of the oxygen generator air conditioner by optimizing the airflow path, improving rain and dust protection, enhancing structural stability, improving installation and maintenance convenience, and controlling noise generation.

[0072] In specific implementation, a handle 420 is provided on the second support member 440. The handle 420 is located above the air inlet opening 402. The handle 420 is recessed from the side wall of the second support member 440 toward the first support member 430 to form an operating area on the second support member 440.

[0073] The handle 420 is positioned above the air inlet and seamlessly integrated with the side wall of the housing, providing a comfortable gripping area for handlers. The recessed design allows the hand to fit naturally in the handle, ensuring unobstructed airflow even during transport.

[0074] Furthermore, the first support member 430 includes: a first body 431 disposed on the first housing 310, with an air outlet 403 disposed on the first body 431; a second body 432 connected to the first body 431 and disposed along the circumferential direction of the first body 431, with the second body 432 and the first body 431 disposed at an angle to form an assembly groove 433 between the first body 431 and the second body 432, and at least a portion of the second support member 440 is embedded in the assembly groove 433.

[0075] The first support member 430 is embedded in the assembly groove 433 formed by the first body 431 and the second body 432, achieving a tight connection between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440 and improving the structural stability of the entire air inlet 400. This integrated design also reduces the gaps between the supports and avoids external interference.

[0076] The mounting groove 433 serves as a barrier against rain and dust to some extent. When rain or dust enters from the outside, the bottom of the first body 431 provides initial protection, reducing the risk of moisture and dust directly entering the oxygen generating components and enhancing the equipment's protection under harsh outdoor conditions. Furthermore, the mounting groove 433 design allows for a more compact connection between the first support 430 and the second support 440, reducing unnecessary space waste and facilitating more efficient airflow within a limited space. It also contributes to the miniaturization of the overall equipment.

[0077] The embedded connection between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440 avoids protruding parts between components, making the air intake more aesthetically pleasing and with smoother lines.

[0078] The second body 432 is provided with a buckle 434, and the second support member 440 includes a snap-fit ​​flange 441. At least a portion of the snap-fit ​​flange 441 engages with the buckle 434 to connect the second support member 440 with the first support member 430.

[0079] The snap-fit ​​flange 441 simplifies the assembly process of the first support 430 and the second support 440, eliminating the need for additional fasteners and reducing manufacturing costs and installation difficulty. Simultaneously, this snap-fit ​​structure provides convenience during maintenance, allowing maintenance personnel to easily disassemble the second support 440 to clean the air intake passage or inspect internal components, thus improving the maintainability of the equipment.

[0080] The second support member 440 also includes: a third body 442, which is disposed in the mounting groove 433, and an air inlet opening 402 is disposed on the third body 442; a snap-fit ​​flange 441 is disposed on the third body 442 and extends along the circumferential direction of the third body 442, and the snap-fit ​​flange 441, the third body 442 and the mounting groove 433 form an air inlet channel 401.

[0081] Through the tight fit between the snap-fit ​​flange 441 and the mounting groove 433, and the supporting effect of the third body 442, the air inlet channel 401 achieves extremely high structural stability and airtightness. The design of the snap-fit ​​flange 441 ensures a reliable connection between the air inlet and the first housing 310, effectively avoiding loosening problems caused by prolonged use or external vibration, while also reducing air leakage and improving airflow guidance and efficiency.

[0082] The air inlet opening 402 on the third body 442, combined with the enclosed structure formed by the snap-fit ​​flange 441 and the mounting groove 433, provides a clear and controlled airflow path for the air inlet channel. This ensures that air can flow in a preset direction, reducing turbulence and resistance before entry, making the airflow more stable and rapid, which is beneficial to the cooling of the oxygen generating unit 100 and the oxygen production efficiency.

[0083] The handle 420 is located on the third body 442. After the handle 420 is recessed from the third body 442, a stepped structure is formed on the third body 442. The air inlet 402 is set on the end face of the stepped structure.

[0084] The stepped structure acts as a natural rain cover for the air intake opening. When rainwater falls vertically, the step on the handle 420 prevents rainwater from directly entering the opening, reducing the possibility of moisture inside the equipment and thus protecting the oxygen generating component 100 and other internal circuits from moisture corrosion. At the same time, the stepped end face is designed to be inclined upwards relative to the horizontal plane, which can effectively reduce the direct falling of dust into the inlet, improving the long-term operational stability and durability of the equipment.

[0085] In a specific implementation, the first housing 310 is provided with an installation opening 311, and at least a portion of the first support member 430 is embedded in the installation opening 311; the second support member 440 further includes a limiting flange 443, which is provided at the outer end of the first support member 430, and the limiting flange 443 is fitted with the outer wall of the first housing 310 that forms the installation opening 311 to limit the second support member 440.

[0086] The limiting flange 443 fits tightly against part of the outer wall of the first housing 310, forming a mechanical limiting structure. This design ensures that the movement of the second support 440 in any direction is effectively restricted, enhances the connection between the second support 440 and the first housing 310, and reduces the risk of loosening due to vibration or external impact.

[0087] The limiting flange 443, as a positioning auxiliary structure, can quickly align and limit the installation position during installation, ensuring the accurate insertion and fixation of the second support 440. This design simplifies the installation process, allowing even non-professionals to easily complete the installation, greatly improving ease and efficiency.

[0088] The fit between the limiting flange 443 and the outer wall of the first housing forms a rainproof and dustproof sealing strip. In rainy or dusty environments, this design effectively prevents rainwater and dust from entering the installation opening 311, protecting the internal structures such as the air intake channel 401 and the oxygen generation component 100 from corrosion, thus improving the equipment's protection level and operational stability.

[0089] The fit between the limiting flange 443 and the first housing 310 prevents the first and second support members from forming obvious protrusions on the outer surface of the equipment, thus making the appearance of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner smoother and more streamlined.

[0090] This application also provides an air conditioner, including an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, wherein the oxygen generating component 100 in the outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit is the same as the outdoor unit in the above embodiment.

[0091] In this application, the air channel formed by the second support member 440 and the first support member 430 of the outdoor unit can reduce the operating temperature of the oxygen generating component 100. Furthermore, the lower end of the second support member 440 receives air, and the upper end of the first support member 430 receives air, achieving a rainproof function. Simultaneously, designing the air inlet 400 inside the first housing 310 effectively reduces the installation size of the air conditioner, facilitating installation. The lower end of the second support member 440 has an air inlet opening 402, and the upper end of the first support member 430 has an air outlet opening 403. The assembly of the second support member 440 and the first support member 430 forms an air inlet channel, facilitating airflow. The second support member 440 features a stepped structure to prevent rainwater from splashing upwards, achieving effective rain protection. The outdoor unit operates by rotating the axial flow fan 200, which drives airflow, thereby driving the airflow through the oxygen generating component 100 to remove the heat generated by the oxygen generating component 100, achieving cooling of the oxygen generating component 100.

[0092] Specifically, the air outlet 403 and the air inlet 402 are completely offset to form an air inlet channel 401 that allows air to circulate but prevents rainwater from passing through. When the outdoor unit is turned on, the axial fan blades rotate to create an airflow field. Air enters the second support member 440 through the air outlet 403 below the handle 420, and then enters the oxygen generator through the air outlet 403 at the upper end of the first support member 430. After carrying away the heat from the oxygen generator assembly 100, the air enters the cavity of the second housing 320 through the chassis below the oxygen generator assembly 100 and is then discharged. The assembly method of the second support members 440, the design of the second support member 440 with a step and the air outlet 403 at the bottom, and the air outlet 403 at the top of the first support member 430, allow the opening positions to be offset, effectively preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the outdoor unit from the air inlet 400 and causing damage.

[0093] The air inlet 400 of this application combines a handle function and a heat dissipation function, which can reduce the temperature of the oxygen generating component 100, extend the service life of the air compressor, and provide air intake at the lower end of the second support member 440 and air outlet at the upper end of the first support member 430, thus achieving a rainproof function. At the same time, the air inlet 400 is embedded inside the first housing 310, effectively reducing the installation size of the air conditioner and making installation more convenient.

[0094] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0095] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided in this application divides the casing 300 into a first casing 310 and a second casing 320. An oxygen generating component 100 is disposed in the first casing 310, and an axial flow fan 200 is disposed in the second casing 320. An air inlet 400 is provided on the first casing 310, and at least a portion of the air inlet 400 is disposed opposite to the oxygen generating component 100 so that, under the guiding action of the axial flow fan 200, ambient air is allowed to enter the first casing 310 through the air inlet 400 to dissipate heat from the oxygen generating component 100. Since the air inlet 400 is connected to the ambient air, the axial flow fan 200 can utilize the outdoor ambient air to carry away the heat emitted from the surface of the oxygen generating component 100 as the outdoor ambient air flows through it. The heat is then discharged through the exhaust port of the axial flow fan 200. During the operation of the oxygen generating component 100, heat dissipation is continuously provided to prevent the temperature of the oxygen generating component 100 from becoming too high and reducing the working efficiency of the air compressor. In addition, by utilizing the existing axial flow fan 200 in the outdoor unit, no additional air intake or blowing components are needed, saving installation space in the outdoor unit. By directly setting the air inlet 400 on the first housing 310, the airflow directly blows onto the oxygen generating component 100, making the airflow smoother and optimizing the heat dissipation effect of the oxygen generating component 100.
