[0002] Air conditioners are widely used in people's daily lives, regulating indoor and outdoor temperatures to create the most comfortable environment. An air conditioner consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The outdoor unit, placed outdoors, is constantly exposed to wind and rain, causing rainwater to accumulate at its base. In winter, temperatures in many areas are low, sometimes even snowing and freezing. To solve the problem of ice buildup on the outdoor unit's base, in addition to designing drainage channels, heating elements are often installed to melt the ice. However, existing outdoor units typically have mounting bosses on the drainage channels of the base, with multiple support rods erected between the mounting and drainage bosses, and the heating elements laid on these rods. This structure results in numerous mounting holes and a cumbersome assembly process. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new air conditioner outdoor unit casing structure, outdoor unit, and air conditioner to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] Reference Figures 1-2 This utility model provides an air conditioner outdoor unit housing structure, including a base plate 10, a surrounding edge 20, a bracket 30, and a locking component 40; The base plate 10 is provided with a drainage boss 11 and a drainage groove 12 located around the drainage boss 11. The drainage boss 11 and the drainage groove 12 are provided with drainage holes 13 that communicate with the outside. The edging 20 is set along the edge of the base plate 10; The bracket 30 is located above the drainage trough 12 and is mounted on the perimeter 20 via the locking member 40, and the heating belt is wrapped around the bracket 30.

[0021] In this utility model, preferably, the bracket 30 includes a first vertical rod 31, a second vertical rod 32, and a plurality of horizontal rods 33. The first vertical rod 31 and the second vertical rod 32 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal rods 33 connect the first vertical rod 31 and the second vertical rod 32. The locking member 40 connects the perimeter 20 to the first vertical rod 31 and the second vertical rod 32. Specifically, during assembly, the heating band is first wrapped around the first vertical rod 31, the second vertical rod 32, and / or the horizontal rods 33. Then, the first vertical rod 31 and the second vertical rod 32 are aligned with the holes on the perimeter 20 and inserted. The locking member 40 is used to connect the first vertical rod 31 and the second vertical rod 32 to the perimeter 20, so that the bracket 30... The heating band is located above the drain trough 12. The heating band is connected to the power supply via a quick connector. When the heating band is connected to the power supply, it will generate heat, which can melt the ice condensed in the drain trough 12 and discharge it to the outside through the drain hole 13 in the drain trough 12. In a further embodiment, at least a portion of the bracket 30 extends into the drain trough 12, which can reduce the distance between the heating band and the drain trough 12 and improve the ice melting effect. In some possible embodiments, at least a portion of the bracket 30 can extend into the drain trough 12 by setting the first vertical rod 31 and the second vertical rod 32 into an inverted L-shape. Other methods can also be used, which will not be described in detail here and should not be considered as a limitation of this utility model.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, a first through hole 21 and a second through hole 22 are provided on one side of the perimeter 20, and a third through hole 23 and a fourth through hole 24 are provided on the other side of the perimeter 20. One end of the first vertical rod 31 is provided with a first threaded segment 51 inserted into the first through hole 21, and the other end of the first vertical rod 31 is provided with a second threaded segment 52 inserted into the second through hole 22. One end of the second vertical rod 32 is provided with a third threaded segment 53 inserted into the third through hole 23, and the other end of the second vertical rod 32 is provided with a fourth threaded segment 54 inserted into the fourth through hole 24. The locking member 40 includes a first nut 41, a second nut 42, a third nut 43, and a fourth nut 44. The first nut 41 is connected to the first threaded segment 51 and abuts against the perimeter 20. The second nut 42 is connected to the second threaded segment 52 and abuts against the perimeter 20. The third nut 43 is connected to the third threaded segment 53 and abuts against the perimeter 20. The fourth nut 44 is connected to the fourth threaded segment 54 and abuts against the perimeter 20.

[0023] Specifically, during assembly, the first threaded segment 51 and the second threaded segment 52 are first inserted into the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 22, respectively. Then, the first vertical rod 31 and the second vertical rod 32 are partially bent in the vertical direction, so that the third threaded segment 53 and the fourth threaded segment 54 are opposite to and inserted into the third through hole 23 and the fourth through hole 24, respectively. Finally, four nuts are used to connect to the four threaded segments and abut against the outer wall of the perimeter 20, so that the bracket 30 is connected to the perimeter 20. It should be noted that in some embodiments, nuts may not be provided. Correspondingly, the first vertical rod 31 and the second vertical rod 32 are not provided with threaded segments, but with smooth rod segments. The smooth rod segments are inserted into the through holes. During assembly, the deformation of the bracket 30 in the vertical direction is also relied upon to complete the docking of the smooth rod segments with the through holes.
