[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.

[0051] 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.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 This 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, in which a first mounting cavity 301 and a second mounting cavity 302 are provided and communicate with each other. The oxygen generating component 100 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 301 and the axial flow fan 200 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 302; and an air inlet component 400, disposed on the housing 300. The air inlet component 400 includes a bottom end face 401 and an air inlet body 410 located above the bottom end face 401. An air inlet channel 402 is formed on the inner side of the air inlet component 400. An air inlet opening 403 communicating with the air inlet channel 402 is provided on the air inlet body 410. The air inlet channel 402 is connected to the first mounting cavity 301.

[0053] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner provided in this application includes an oxygen generating component 100 and an axial flow fan 200. Further, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a housing 300 and an air inlet component 400. The housing 300 is provided with a first mounting cavity 301 and a second mounting cavity 302 that are interconnected. The oxygen generating component 100 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 301, and the axial flow fan 200 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 302. The air inlet component 400 is disposed on the housing 300. The air inlet component 400 includes a bottom end face 401 and an air inlet body 410 located above the bottom end face 401. An air inlet channel 402 is formed on the inner side of the air inlet component 400. An air inlet opening 403 communicating with the air inlet channel 402 is provided on the air inlet body 410. The air inlet channel 402 is connected to the first mounting cavity 301.

[0054] The air intake body 410 above the bottom end face 401 is designed to form the air intake channel 402 of the air intake assembly 400, ensuring that air can smoothly enter the equipment from the side of the casing 300, directly enter the first mounting cavity 301 through the air intake opening 403 and the air intake channel 402, flow through the oxygen generating assembly 100 for cooling, and finally be discharged by the axial flow fan 200, forming a highly efficient air circulation system, which improves heat exchange efficiency and oxygen generation performance.

[0055] The independent modular design of the air intake assembly 400 makes installation and disassembly easier, reducing assembly difficulties caused by structural complexity. Meanwhile, the direct connection design of the air intake duct 402 simplifies the maintenance process, improves the convenience of cleaning and inspecting the oxygen generation assembly and fan system, and reduces maintenance costs and downtime.

[0056] By providing an interconnected but independent first mounting cavity 301 and second mounting cavity 302 within the housing 300, the oxygen generating component 100 is physically separated from the axial flow fan 200, thus avoiding the impact of the high temperature generated during the oxygen generation process on the axial flow fan 200 and its surrounding components.

[0057] Preferably, the air inlet opening 403 can extend horizontally or be inclined toward the first mounting cavity 301, so that the airflow flows into the air inlet channel 402 horizontally or horizontally upward into the air inlet channel 402.

[0058] The air inlet opening 403 is positioned horizontally or at an angle, guiding airflow into the air inlet channel 402 in the most direct way. This reduces airflow resistance and turbulence at the inlet, ensuring smooth airflow. This design improves the continuity and uniformity of airflow, enhancing ventilation and heat dissipation efficiency, and plays a crucial role, especially in cooling the oxygen generation component 100.

[0059] In the specific implementation process, there are multiple air inlet openings 403. The multiple air inlet openings 403 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air inlet body 410. The length of each air inlet opening 403 accounts for three-quarters of the length of the air inlet body 410 to ensure sufficient air intake. The air inlet body 410 includes a first side plate, a second side plate, and a third side plate that are connected to each other. Multiple air inlet openings 403 are respectively provided on the first side plate, the second side plate, and the third side plate.

[0060] By arranging multiple air inlets 403 at intervals along the length of the air inlet body 410, with the arrangement length accounting for three-quarters of the total length of the air inlet body 410, a stable air intake volume is ensured throughout the air intake area, avoiding uneven airflow caused by insufficient or excessively concentrated local air intake. This distribution method promotes comprehensive air circulation within the first mounting cavity 301, improves heat exchange efficiency, and also helps to evenly distribute the internal pressure of the equipment, avoiding local overpressure or underpressure situations.

[0061] In this application, each air inlet opening 403 is a strip-shaped hole, which extends along the width or thickness direction of the air inlet body 410.

[0062] By placing the air inlet openings 403 on the first, second, and third side plates, rather than concentrating them in one location, external impact forces can be dispersed, enhancing the structural stability of the air inlet body 410 and the entire housing 300. Simultaneously, the strip-shaped opening design provides a larger surface area compared to circular openings or other types of openings, facilitating the natural drainage of rainwater or dust. This improves the equipment's weather resistance and dust and water resistance rating, protecting internal components from external environmental factors.

[0063] The strip-shaped design of the air inlet opening 403 and its layout extending along the width or thickness of the air inlet body 410 help to evenly disperse the airflow, reduce the impact noise and turbulence noise when the airflow enters the equipment, and thus reduce the noise level of the equipment during operation.

[0064] In specific implementation, the bottom of the air intake body 410 is also provided with a drain hole 411, which is connected to the air intake channel 402. The drain hole 411 can discharge the water vapor brought into the air intake channel 402 by the airflow.

[0065] In the embodiments provided in this application, the air inlet opening 403 is located below the first mounting cavity 301. The presence of the drain hole 411 can promptly remove water droplets or condensed moisture brought in from inside the air inlet channel 402 due to changes in climatic conditions (such as rainy days or high humidity environments). This is particularly important for protecting internal electronic components, motors, and other critical components from moisture corrosion, significantly improving the waterproof performance and overall safety of the equipment.

[0066] When moisture accumulates inside the air inlet duct 402, it may obstruct normal airflow, affecting the cooling efficiency of the outdoor unit and the performance of the oxygen generation components. The drain hole 411 ensures that the air inlet duct 402 remains dry even in humid environments, maintaining unobstructed airflow and guaranteeing optimal equipment operation.

[0067] Specifically, the housing 300 includes: a first housing 310 and a second housing 320 connected to each other, the first mounting cavity 301 is disposed in the first housing 310, and the second mounting cavity 302 is disposed in the second housing 320; wherein, the air inlet body 410 is disposed on the first housing 310 and / or the second housing 320.

[0068] The separation design of the first housing 310 and the second housing 320 provides independent operating space for the oxygen generating components and the axial flow fan, effectively isolating the heat generated during the oxygen generation process, avoiding the heat from affecting the operating efficiency of the fan, and at the same time facilitating the heat dissipation of the oxygen generating components, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the equipment.

[0069] The flexible installation options of the air intake body 410 (which can be installed separately on the first housing 310 or the second housing 320, or connected to both) allow designers to adjust the air intake path and angle according to actual needs and environmental conditions to achieve the best air introduction effect, thereby improving the efficiency of heat exchange and oxygen production processes.

[0070] The modular design of the housing and the flexible installation of the air intake unit 410 greatly simplify the maintenance and upgrade process of the equipment. Maintenance personnel can easily access components that need repair or replacement by disassembling specific housings or air intake units, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

[0071] Preferably, the first housing 310 is located above the second housing 320, and the air inlet body 410 can be selectively installed on the first housing 310 or the second housing 320, or connected to the first housing 310 and the second housing 320 respectively.

[0072] The first housing 310 is located above the second housing 320. It not only optimizes the layout of internal components, lowers the center of gravity of the equipment, and enhances structural stability, but also makes the equipment design more compact through efficient use of space.

[0073] To facilitate the handling of the outdoor unit, the air intake assembly 400 also includes a handle 420, which is disposed on the air intake body 410. The handle 420 is recessed from the outer wall of the air intake body 410 toward the middle of the air intake channel 402 to form an operating groove on the outer wall of the air intake body 410. The handle 420 is disposed above the air intake opening 403.

[0074] The recessed design of the 420mm handle follows ergonomic principles, providing a natural grip position for the handler and ensuring good contact area between the hand and the equipment during transport. This improves stability and reduces the risk of drops. The operating groove design makes it easy for users to find and use the handle whether the equipment is stationary or being moved, enhancing the user experience.

[0075] The handle 420 is positioned above the air inlet opening 403 instead of directly covering the opening, which avoids the hand blocking the air inlet during handling and ensures that air can enter the air inlet channel 402 from the air inlet opening below without hindrance, maintaining normal airflow and heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment.

[0076] The integrated handle 420 design is simpler and more streamlined compared to an external handle, without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the device's exterior lines. The integration of the handle with the air intake body 410 further enhances the device's unified appearance.

[0077] The recessed handle 420 design reduces the need for additional components, simplifies the equipment structure, and lowers production costs. At the same time, the handle 420's placement ensures that maintenance personnel do not need to worry about the handle obstructing disassembly or cleaning during equipment maintenance, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0078] The air inlet channel 402 includes a guide section 4020, which is surrounded by a handle section 420. The guide section 4020 includes a guide end face 4021, which is inclined. The airflow in the air inlet channel 402 is blown into the first mounting cavity 301 under the guiding action of the guide end face 4021. The guide end face 4021 is inclined towards the direction close to the first mounting cavity 301.

[0079] The beveled design of the guide end face 4021 effectively guides the airflow entering the air inlet channel 402, directing it more concentratedly towards the first mounting cavity 301. This reduces turbulence and backflow within the channel, improving airflow guidance efficiency. This facilitates faster removal of heat generated during oxygen generation, accelerating the heat exchange process and enhancing the overall heat dissipation performance of the equipment.

[0080] The inclined guide end face 4021 reduces the resistance encountered by air when entering the first mounting cavity 301, reduces energy loss caused by airflow friction, and thus reduces the overall energy consumption of the equipment.

[0081] With the precise airflow guidance of the 4020 airflow guide, cold air can be directed to the area around the oxygen generating components, especially to parts with high heat generation such as the air compressor. This achieves precise control of thermal management and avoids equipment performance degradation and shortened lifespan caused by local overheating.

[0082] In this application, the air inlet body 410 includes a first body 4101 and a second body 4102 that are connected to each other. A handle 420 is disposed on the first body 4101, and an air inlet opening 403 is disposed on the second body 4102. The first body 4101 and the second body 4102 are integrally formed structures.

[0083] The one-piece molded main structure, compared to the traditional split design, has better sealing performance, which can more effectively prevent rainwater, dust and other external factors from entering the equipment, protect the internal components from damage and enhance the protective performance of the equipment.

[0084] The handle 420 is directly connected to the first body 4101. The one-piece design ensures that the handle has higher stability and safety when handling or operating equipment, reducing the risk of the handle breaking or loosening.

[0085] Example 1

[0086] The oxygen generating assembly 100 includes a gas pipe 110, and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a wiring channel 500, which is disposed between the air intake assembly 400 and the casing 300. The gas pipe 110 extends from inside the casing 300 and passes through the wiring channel 500 to communicate with the ambient air of the casing 300. The ambient air of the casing 300 is the airflow in the outdoor environment where the casing 300 is located. The axial flow fan 200 introduces the ambient airflow into the first mounting cavity 301 to dissipate heat from the oxygen generating assembly 100.

[0087] The wiring channel 500 is located between the second recessed area 412 and the housing 300, providing a structured wiring path for the gas pipeline 110. This avoids arbitrary pipeline layout and direct contact with other components, ensuring a neat and safe pipeline layout, while simplifying the equipment maintenance and repair process.

[0088] The air intake body 410 also includes a first support member 430, which is disposed on the housing 300. At least a portion of the sidewall of the first support member 430 is recessed in a direction away from the housing 300 to form a second recessed area 412. At least a portion of the wiring channel 500 is disposed between the second recessed area 412 and the housing 300.

[0089] The second recessed area 412 not only provides physical space for the wiring channel 500, but also effectively protects the gas pipeline 110 that passes through it, reducing the direct impact of external impacts or environmental factors such as rain, snow, and dust on the pipeline. At the same time, the design of the recessed area reduces the impact of external interference, such as electromagnetic interference, on the wiring in the wiring channel, enhancing the protective performance and electrical stability of the equipment.

[0090] The air intake channel 402 is located on the side of the first support member 430 away from the housing 300. The second recessed area 412 surrounds at least part of the channel wall of the air intake channel 402. The air intake channel 402 is arranged side by side with the wiring channel 500.

[0091] By forming a second recessed area 412 on the first support member 430 and setting an air intake body 410 on the housing 300, the space separation between the wiring channel 500 and the air intake channel 402 is achieved, avoiding the interference of wiring on the air intake path, while also improving the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the equipment, making the layout of other key components more flexible.

[0092] The air inlet channel 402 is located on the side of the first support member 430 away from the housing 300. By designing the second recessed area 412 to form the channel wall of the air inlet channel 402, it can ensure smooth airflow. The integration of the wiring channel 500 with the second recessed area 412 provides an easily accessible path for the gas pipeline 110 and wiring. Maintenance personnel can easily perform inspection and maintenance without removing the air inlet components, simplifying the maintenance process and reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

[0093] In a specific implementation, the air intake body 410 includes: a first support member 430, which is disposed on the housing 300 and has an air outlet 404; a second support member 440, which is disposed on the first support member 430 and on the side away from the housing 300, at least a portion of the second support member 440 being disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the first support member 430; at least a portion of the air intake channel 402 being located between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440; and an air intake opening 403 being disposed on the second support member 440.

[0094] Through the air inlet opening 403 provided in the second support member 440, air is directly introduced into the air inlet channel 402 formed between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440. This effectively prevents air loss before entering the channel, ensuring that the maximum amount of air can be efficiently utilized, thereby enhancing heat exchange efficiency and the efficiency of the oxygen production process. The directional control of the air inlet channel also optimizes the airflow path, reduces unnecessary turbulence and resistance, and improves the stability and efficiency of air introduction.

[0095] The spacing between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440 forms a relatively closed air intake channel 402. This not only helps to keep the airflow in the channel pure and reduces the mixing of dust and other impurities, but also provides an extra layer of thermal insulation protection for internal components. Especially for components near heat sources, such as air compressors, it can avoid being directly affected by the external high temperature environment, thereby enhancing the cooling effect and service life of the equipment.

[0096] The first support member 430 is fixed to the housing 300, while the second support member 440 is installed on the side of the first support member 430 away from the housing. This layered design increases the structural stability of the air intake body 410 and also improves the mechanical strength of the entire device. During handling or installation, this additional support design can effectively reduce damage to the equipment caused by external impacts.

[0097] The first support member 430 is provided with a slot 437, and the second support member 440 is provided with a positioning part 444. The slot 437 is engaged in the positioning part 444 to position the first support member 430 and the second support member 440.

[0098] The interlocking design of the bayonet and positioning part enhances the connection strength and stability between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440. This design ensures that the air intake assembly will not shift or loosen due to external forces during handling, installation, or when encountering external impacts, thereby protecting the safety of the internal components.

[0099] Specifically, the positioning part 444 is a positioning protrusion, and the bayonet 437 engages with the positioning protrusion. Then, the first support member 430 and the second support member 440 are fastened together by locking screws.

[0100] The second support member 440 is provided with a slot 441. At least a portion of the first support member 430 is disposed opposite to the slot 441. At least a portion of the air inlet channel 402 is disposed between the slot 441 and the first support member 430. At least a portion of the air inlet opening 403 is disposed on the groove wall of the slot 441. After the airflow flows into the air inlet channel 402 through the air inlet opening 403, it flows upward to the air outlet opening 404 under the blocking effect of the first support member 430 and is then blown out.

[0101] Airflow enters through the air inlet opening 403 on the groove wall of the second support member 440 slot 441, and is then guided upward by the obstruction of the first support member 430 until it reaches the air outlet opening 404. This design ensures unidirectional and stable airflow within the air inlet channel 402, reduces turbulence and backflow, and improves the efficiency and directionality of air transmission.

[0102] The design of the slot 441 allows the space formed between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440 to be fully utilized as part of the air intake channel 402 without the need for an additional airflow guiding structure. This not only reduces the use of materials but also makes the structure of the entire device more compact.

[0103] The design of the slot 441 allows the first support 430 to be positioned and installed in a variety of ways. During the assembly process, the first support 430 can be positioned through the slot 441 before the two are connected.

[0104] Furthermore, the first support member 430 is provided with a first protrusion 433, at least a portion of the first protrusion 433 is embedded in the slot 441, at least a portion of the air inlet channel 402 is located between the slot 441 and the first protrusion 433, and the air outlet 404 is located above the first protrusion 433.

[0105] The first protrusion 433 is embedded in the slot 441 of the second support member. This physical interlocking method greatly improves the connection strength between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440, ensuring that the two parts maintain consistency and stability during equipment operation, handling and installation, reducing structural loosening or damage caused by vibration or external force, and improving the overall structural stability and lifespan of the equipment.

[0106] The space formed between the first protrusion 433 and the slot 441 forms part of the air intake channel 402, which effectively guides the air intake path, reduces air dissipation and turbulence when the air enters, and ensures that the air can pass smoothly through the air intake opening 403 and then reach the vicinity of the oxygen generation component directly along the preset path, thereby improving the efficiency of heat exchange and oxygen generation processes.

[0107] An air outlet 404 is provided above the first protrusion 433. This layout design allows hot air emitted from heat sources such as oxygen generating components to be quickly discharged, avoiding the circulation of hot air inside the equipment and affecting the cooling or oxygen generation efficiency. It also helps to prevent internal components from being damaged due to overheating, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and thermal management performance of the equipment.

[0108] In this application, the oxygen generating assembly 100 includes a gas line 110, and the sidewall of the first support member 430 is recessed in a direction away from the housing 300 to form a second recessed area 412, so as to form a wiring channel 500 for the gas line 110 to pass through between the second recessed area 412 and the housing 300.

[0109] This wiring design ensures the stability and safety of the gas pipeline 110 during installation and use. The second recessed area 412 provides an additional physical barrier, protecting the gas pipeline from external damage such as impacts or scratches, extending the pipeline's lifespan, and reducing the risk of accidental leaks.

[0110] The design of the wiring channel 500 makes full use of the space between the first support 430 and the housing 300, avoiding the random arrangement of gas pipelines inside the equipment and achieving more efficient use of internal space.

[0111] By placing the gas line 110 in a concealed area between the second recess 412 and the housing 300, this design further enhances the device's waterproof capabilities. Even in harsh outdoor environments, the gas line is well protected, preventing system malfunctions or corrosion problems caused by moisture intrusion.

[0112] The second recessed area 412 is correspondingly provided to the first protrusion 433. That is, the second recessed area 412 is provided on the side of the first support member 430 near the housing 300, and the first protrusion 433 is formed on the side of the first support member 430 away from the housing 300. This simplifies the processing flow of the first support member 430, so that an air inlet channel 402 is formed between it and the second support member 440, and a wiring channel 500 is formed between it and the housing 300.

[0113] The design of the second recessed area 412 and the first protrusion 433 simplifies the manufacturing process of the first support member 430, avoids complex mold design and multiple processing steps, reduces material waste, and lowers manufacturing costs.

[0114] The arrangement of the second recessed area 412 and the first protrusion 433 creates an air intake channel 402 between the first support member 430 and the second support member 440, while a wiring channel 500 is formed between the second recessed area 412 and the housing 300. This dual-channel structure not only ensures effective protection of the gas pipeline 110, but also optimizes the airflow path, improves the cooling effect on the oxygen generation component 100, and enhances the overall performance of the thermal management system.

[0115] The setting of the second recessed area 412 not only does not affect the overall structural strength of the first support member 430, but also enhances the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the support member through cooperation with the first protrusion 433, thereby improving the structural stability and durability of the equipment.

[0116] The second support member 440 is provided with a handle portion 420, which is disposed on the second support member 440 and located above the air inlet opening 403. At least a portion of the handle portion 420 is recessed from the outer wall of the second support member 440 toward the first support member 430 to form an operating groove on the second support member 440.

[0117] The handle 420 is located directly above the air inlet 403 and is partly formed by an inward recess in the outer wall of the second support member, providing a direct and stable grip point for the handler. This design reduces the time spent searching for a support point during handling and also prevents the hand from directly blocking the air inlet, thus ensuring the safety and efficiency of equipment handling.

[0118] Since the handle 420 does not cover the air inlet 403, air can still enter smoothly from the air inlet below even during handling, and the air intake will not be significantly reduced due to the intervention of the hand, ensuring that the air intake and heat exchange efficiency of the equipment are not affected before and after handling.

[0119] The seamless integration of the handle 420 and the second support member 440 avoids the abruptness of traditional external handles, making the device's appearance more streamlined. It also avoids the problem of external handles taking up extra space, making the overall design of the device more compact.

[0120] The first support member 430 includes a first body 434 and a second body 435 connected to each other; the air outlet 404 is disposed on the first body 434, and the second body 435 is disposed opposite to the air inlet 403, so that the airflow flowing in from the air inlet 403 flows upward to the air outlet 404 and is blown onto the oxygen generating assembly 100 under the blocking effect of the second body 435.

[0121] The second body 435 is positioned opposite to the air inlet channel 402, which can effectively block and redirect the incoming airflow, ensuring that the airflow does not pass through directly but is forced to change direction, flow upward and be discharged through the air outlet 404, forming a more effective cooling airflow circulation.

[0122] The interconnection between the first body 434 and the second body 435 not only enhances the structural strength of the first support member 430 itself, but also improves the stability and sealing of the entire air intake assembly through its tight fit with the housing 300. This design can effectively resist external vibrations and impacts while reducing air leakage and ensuring efficient utilization of airflow.

[0123] The second body 435 serves as a barrier structure for the air intake channel 402, effectively preventing rainwater or dust from entering the air intake channel 402. Especially in rainy seasons or dusty environments, this design is crucial for protecting internal electronic components and air intake assemblies from corrosion, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0124] The airflow changes direction and flows upward under the obstruction of the second body 435, which helps to distribute the cooling air more evenly around the oxygen generating components 100 such as the air compressor, promotes the balance of heat exchange, and avoids the problem of local overheating.

[0125] The second support member 440 includes a third body 442 and a fourth body 443 that are connected to each other; the third body 442 is disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the first body 434, at least a portion of the fourth body 443 is disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the second body 435, and an air inlet 403 is disposed on the fourth body 443.

[0126] The intervals between the third body 442 and the first body 434, and between the fourth body 443 and the second body 435, together form an efficient airflow network. The air intake channel 402 is located on the fourth body 443, which means that the air undergoes more precise orientation and pre-processing before entering the air intake channel, ensuring that the air can pass through the air intake assembly evenly and orderly, thereby improving cooling efficiency.

[0127] The spacing between the third body 442 and the first body 434, and between the fourth body 443 and the second body 435, provides additional waterproof and dustproof barriers for the equipment. Air must bypass these body structures when passing through the air intake duct 402, effectively preventing rainwater and dust from directly entering the air intake duct 402. This ensures a dry and clean environment for the oxygen generation components and air compressor, enhancing the reliability and durability of the equipment.

[0128] The fourth body 443 is provided with a slot 441, and the second body 435 is provided with a first protrusion 433, which is embedded in the slot 441. At least a portion of the air inlet channel 402 is disposed between the first protrusion 433 and the slot 441. Preferably, the third body 442 and the fourth body 443 are integrally formed.

[0129] The engagement between the slot 441 and the first protrusion 433 forms a key part of the air inlet channel 402, which is preferably located on the groove wall of the slot 441, including the bottom and sides. This design ensures that air can flow smoothly from multiple directions, maximizing the use of the space in the slot 441, increasing the airflow into the air inlet channel, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency, effectively cooling the oxygen generation components and air compressors, and ensuring the stable operation of the equipment.

[0130] In this application, the first support member 430 also includes a connecting body 436. The first body 434 and the second body 435 are connected by the connecting body 436. The connecting body 436 is inclined relative to the first body 434 and / or the second body 435, so that the first body 434 is positioned close to the housing 300 relative to the second body 435, so that the airflow in the air inlet channel 402 is guided by the connecting body 436 and flows to the air outlet 404.

[0131] The tilted design of the connecting body 436 effectively alters the airflow direction, enabling a smooth transition of airflow from the air inlet channel 402 to the air outlet 404. This guiding mechanism ensures that the cooling air flows efficiently along a preset path, avoiding turbulence and backflow, thereby significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0132] Preferably, the connecting body 436 and the guide end face 4021 are arranged opposite to each other. In this way, under the combined guiding effect of the connecting body 436 and the guide end face 4021, the airflow can be directly guided into the first mounting cavity 301 to dissipate heat from the oxygen generating component 100.

[0133] In the specific implementation process, the oxygen generating assembly 100 includes a gas pipeline 110; the side wall of the second body 435 is recessed in the direction away from the housing 300 to form a second recessed area 412, so as to form a space between the second recessed area 412 and the housing 300 for the gas pipeline 110 to pass through the wiring channel 500.

[0134] The formation of the second recessed area 412 provides a dedicated wiring channel 500, which can neatly store the gas pipeline 110, avoiding the pipeline from intersecting and rubbing against other parts of the equipment, reducing the risk of pipeline damage, and also making the internal layout of the equipment neater, improving space utilization and structural compactness.

[0135] The design of the second recessed area 412 not only provides physical protection for the gas pipeline 110, but also further enhances the equipment's waterproof and dustproof capabilities. The pipeline is housed within the channel formed by the recessed area, reducing the area of ​​the pipeline directly exposed to the outside, which helps prevent rainwater and dust from directly intruding into the pipeline, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment in outdoor environments.

[0136] The housing 300 is provided with a through opening 303, which is connected to the first mounting cavity 301 and the air inlet channel 402 respectively; the oxygen generating assembly 100 also includes a gas pipeline 110; at least a portion of the air inlet assembly 400 is provided with a wiring channel 500 between it and the housing 300, and the gas pipeline 110 passes through the through opening 303 and is installed in the wiring channel 500. At the same time, the airflow in the air inlet channel 402 is blown into the first mounting cavity 301 through the through opening 303.

[0137] The air inlet channel 402 is directly connected to the first mounting cavity 301 through the opening 303, ensuring that outside air can smoothly enter the first mounting cavity 301 where the oxygen generating component is located, improving the directness and efficiency of airflow introduction. At the same time, the opening 303 serves as a passage for the gas pipeline 110, eliminating the need to provide a separate opening for the gas pipeline 110 on the housing 300, simplifying the structure of the housing 300. By integrating the connection design of the opening 303 with the airflow channel, the need to open a separate outlet for the gas pipeline 110 is avoided, reducing the number of unnecessary openings on the housing 300, lowering the processing costs and potential leakage risks caused by multiple openings, and also simplifying the design and production process of the housing, thus improving cost-effectiveness.

[0138] Example 2

[0139] like Figures 11 to 14As shown, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a control valve 600, which is installed on the wall of the housing 300. The bottom end of the air intake assembly 400 has a protective part 413, and the inner side of the protective part 413 and the housing 300 form a protective space 414. The control valve 600 is installed in the protective space 414.

[0140] The control valve 600 is located in the protective space 414. The enclosed space formed by the protective part 413 and the housing 300 can effectively prevent the intrusion of external environmental factors such as rainwater, dust and foreign objects, protect the control valve 600 from damage, and improve the protective performance and reliability of the equipment.

[0141] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a partition 415, which is disposed inside the air intake assembly 400 to divide the inside of the air intake assembly 400 into an air intake channel 402 and a protective space 414.

[0142] The partition 415 divides the interior of the air intake assembly 400 into an air intake channel 402 and a protective space 414, which realizes the physical isolation between the airflow introduction and the operating groove area of ​​the control valve 600, avoids the airflow directly impacting the control valve 600, reduces the performance impact of the control valve 600 caused by temperature fluctuations or airflow disturbances, and optimizes the thermal management and airflow path layout of the equipment.

[0143] By dividing the space inside the air intake assembly 400 with partition 415, no additional housing or protective cover is needed to protect the control valve 600, reducing material costs and production complexity.

[0144] The enclosed space formed by the protective part 413 and the housing 300, along with the partition 415, together provide a stable working environment for the control valve 600, reducing the impact of environmental factors on the control valve.

[0145] The separation of the air intake duct 402 from the protective space 414 allows the incoming cold air to be used more efficiently to cool critical components without being affected by the potential heat of the control valve 600, which helps to improve the thermal efficiency and overall performance of the equipment.

[0146] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a protective part 413 is also provided at the bottom of the air inlet assembly 400 to protect the control valve 600. The air inlet body 410 is located above the protective part 413. A drain hole 411 is provided on the side wall of the air inlet body 410, and the drain hole 411 is located above the partition plate 415, which is inclined towards the bottom of the housing 300.

[0147] The placement of the drain hole 411 and the inclined design of the baffle 415 allow water droplets entering the air intake channel to flow along the inclined baffle to the drain hole and be discharged in rainy or high-humidity environments. This prevents water droplets from accumulating near the control valve 600, reduces the risk of electrical components getting damp and short-circuiting, and optimizes the equipment's drainage and rainproof functions.

[0148] By integrating the protective part 413, the drain hole 411 and the inclined baffle 415, it can prevent water from accumulating in the air inlet channel 402, avoid corrosion of the air inlet channel 402, and prevent water vapor from being brought into the surface of the oxygen generating component 100. On the other hand, it also provides a more stable and safe working environment for the control valve 600, reducing the impact of environmental factors on the control valve.

[0149] In this embodiment, the air inlet body 410 includes a first body 4101, a second body 4102, and a third body 4103 connected in sequence. A handle 420 is disposed on the first body 4101, an air inlet opening 403 is disposed on the second body 4102, and a protective part 413 is disposed on the third body 4103. The first body 4101, the second body 4102, and the third body 4103 are integrally formed. The integrally formed structure reduces the connection points and seams between multiple components, significantly enhancing the structural strength and stability of the air inlet body 410, and reducing the risk of component loosening or damage due to unstable connections during long-term use.

[0150] By connecting the three main parts with different functions in sequence, the airflow path can be optimized. The air inlet 403 on the second main body 4102 can more precisely control the direction and speed of air entering, while the layout of the first main body 4101 and the third main body 4103 helps to guide the airflow smoothly through the equipment, improve the fluid dynamics performance, and thus improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0151] Example 3

[0152] The side wall of the housing 300 is recessed towards the inside of the housing 300 to form a first recessed cavity; the air inlet body 410 is disposed opposite to the first recessed cavity, and the air inlet channel 402 is disposed between the air inlet body 410 and the first recessed cavity.

[0153] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the side wall of the housing 300 is recessed towards the inside of the housing 300 to form a first recessed cavity, and the air inlet channel 402 is disposed between the air inlet body 410 and the first recessed cavity.

[0154] The design of the air inlet channel 402 between the first recessed cavity and the air inlet body 410 can guide the outside air to flow directly and efficiently to the key heat source area of ​​the air conditioner outdoor unit, such as the air compressor. This optimizes the airflow path, ensures the effective utilization of cooling air, and improves heat exchange efficiency.

[0155] By integrating the air intake channel 402 into the recessed cavity, the need for additional supports or airflow guiding structures can be reduced, material costs and production complexity can be lowered, and production efficiency and yield can be improved.

[0156] By forming a first recessed cavity on the side wall of the housing 300 and setting it opposite to the air intake body 410 to form an air intake channel 402, the design of this application not only optimizes the airflow path, improves heat exchange efficiency and equipment protection performance, but also improves the appearance design of the equipment. It can prevent the air intake component 400 from protruding from the outer wall of the housing 300 or reduce the protruding space, making the overall structure of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner more compact.

[0157] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The oxygen generating component 100 in the outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit. The outdoor unit is the same as the outdoor unit in the above embodiment.

[0158] The gas pipeline 110 is fixed to the housing 300 by clamps to prevent the gas pipeline 110 from shaking due to vibration of the housing 300 or shaking during the handling of the housing 300, which would affect the oxygen production function.

[0159] In this application, the oxygen generating assembly 100 includes a molecular sieve assembly 120 and an air compressor assembly 130. The gas pipeline 110 is connected to the air compressor assembly 130. When the axial flow fan 200 is running, ambient air is drawn into the air inlet channel 402 through the air inlet opening 403, flows upward along the air inlet channel 402 to the air outlet opening 404, enters the casing 300, and flows through the air compressor assembly 130 and the molecular sieve assembly 120. Figure 1 As shown, the air is then discharged under the guidance of the axial flow fan 200, forming an airflow heat dissipation path. In addition, ambient air enters the air compressor assembly 130 through the gas pipeline 110 for oxygen production, and the two processes do not interfere with each other.

[0160] When the axial flow fan 200 is running, it can guide ambient air into the air intake channel 402 through the air intake opening 403, flow upward along the channel to the air outlet opening 404, and finally enter the casing 300 and flow through the air compressor assembly 130 and molecular sieve assembly 120. This effectively removes a large amount of heat generated by these two components during the oxygen production process, ensuring the stable operation of the oxygen production components and extending their service life. It also improves the thermal management efficiency of the entire outdoor air conditioning unit.

[0161] The design of the air inlet channel 402 ensures smooth airflow, while the layout of the air outlet 404 guides the airflow to be effectively discharged. The formation of the airflow heat dissipation path optimizes the entire process of airflow from entry to exit, avoids airflow short-circuiting and local stagnation, improves heat exchange rate, and reduces energy consumption.

[0162] Ambient air enters the air compressor assembly 130 directly through gas pipeline 110 for oxygen production. This process is completely independent of the heat dissipation path and does not interfere with each other, ensuring that the oxygen production efficiency is not affected by the heat dissipation process. The close cooperation between the air compressor assembly and the molecular sieve assembly further improves the purity and speed of oxygen extraction.

[0163] The integrated design of the air inlet channel 402 with the air inlet and outlet openings enables effective cooling of the air compressor components and molecular sieve components, while reducing the need for additional air guiding and heat insulation components, simplifying the internal structure of the casing, and saving space.

[0164] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0165] The air intake body 410 above the bottom end face 401 is designed to form the air intake channel 402 of the air intake assembly 400, ensuring that air can smoothly enter the equipment from the side of the casing 300, directly enter the first mounting cavity 301 through the air intake opening 403 and the air intake channel 402, flow through the oxygen generating assembly 100 for cooling, and finally be discharged by the axial flow fan 200, forming a highly efficient air circulation system, which improves heat exchange efficiency and oxygen generation performance.

[0166] The independent modular design of the air intake assembly 400 makes installation and disassembly easier, reducing assembly difficulties caused by structural complexity. Meanwhile, the direct connection design of the air intake duct 402 simplifies the maintenance process, improves the convenience of cleaning and inspecting the oxygen generation assembly and fan system, and reduces maintenance costs and downtime.

[0167] By providing an interconnected but independent first mounting cavity 301 and second mounting cavity 302 within the housing 300, the oxygen generating component 100 is physically separated from the axial flow fan 200, thus avoiding the impact of the high temperature generated during the oxygen generation process on the axial flow fan 200 and its surrounding components.
