For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Example 1 An air conditioning unit rainproof panel 2 includes several rainproof panels 2; two adjacent horizontal rainproof panels 2 are connected by a first connecting component 1; two adjacent vertical rainproof panels 2 are connected by a second connecting component 3; the horizontally arranged rainproof panels 2 are arranged on the top of the air conditioning unit housing 6 by a third connecting component; the first connecting component 1 includes a first inverted L-shaped hook 101 and a second inverted L-shaped hook 102; the vertical ends of the first inverted L-shaped hook 101 and the second inverted L-shaped hook 102 are vertically arranged on the upper part of the two adjacent horizontal rainproof panels 2; the first inverted L-shaped hook 101 is arranged inside the second inverted L-shaped hook 102, and the end of the second inverted L-shaped hook 102 is provided with a hook-type bend 103.

[0023] The second connecting component 3 includes a third inverted L-shaped hook 301 and a fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302. The vertical ends of the third inverted L-shaped hook 301 and the fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302 are vertically and symmetrically arranged on the upper part of two adjacent longitudinal rainproof plates 2. A top cover plate 303 is provided on the upper part of the third inverted L-shaped hook 301 and the fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302. The top cover plate 303 is inverted U-shaped, and the horizontal ends of the third inverted L-shaped hook 301 and the fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302 are arranged inside the top cover plate 303.

[0024] The third inverted L-shaped hook 301 has a first mounting hole at its horizontal end, and the fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302 has a second mounting hole at its horizontal end; the top cover plate 303 has a third mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole at its horizontal end, and also has a fourth mounting hole corresponding to the second mounting hole; the third inverted L-shaped hook 301, the fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302 and the top cover plate 303 are all fixed by the first locking screw.

[0025] The height of the second inverted L-shaped hook 102 is lower than the height of the top cover plate 303. The bottom of the rainproof panel 2 is vertically fitted with a base plate 4 on all four sides. The joints between adjacent base plates 4 at the bottom of the rainproof panel 2 are fully welded.

[0026] The third connecting component includes a fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5; the horizontal end of the fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5 is fixedly connected to the vertical end of the base plate 4; the vertical end of the fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5 is provided with several fifth mounting holes, and the air conditioning unit housing 6 is provided with a sixth mounting hole corresponding to the fifth mounting hole; the fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5 is fixed to the air conditioning unit housing 6 by a second locking screw 7; the end of the fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5 extends into the air conditioning unit.

[0027] The first locking bolt and the second locking screw 7 are stainless steel screws with soft pads, which have the effect of preventing water seepage.

[0028] Example 2 The rainproof panel 2 itself is a plate-like structure, typically made of weather-resistant materials such as aluminized zinc plate or stainless steel, and can be designed with a certain drainage slope. A base plate 4 is vertically installed around the bottom perimeter of the rainproof panel 2. This base plate 4 not only enhances the structural strength of the edges of the rainproof panel 2 to prevent deformation, but more importantly, it provides a mounting base for the third connecting component, which is a key structure for achieving a stable connection with the enclosure.

[0029] The first connecting component 1 can realize the quick interlocking of the horizontal rainproof plate 2. The two adjacent horizontal rainproof plates 2 are connected by a "male and female" hook structure. The first inverted L-shaped hook 101 can be regarded as the "male head" and the second inverted L-shaped hook 102 can be regarded as the "female head". The unique hook-type bend 103 at its end forms a slot.

[0030] The vertical end of the first inverted L-shaped hook 101 is fixed to the upper part of a rainproof panel 2. The vertical end of the second inverted L-shaped hook 102 is fixed to the upper part of an adjacent rainproof panel 2. During installation, the horizontal end of the first hook is directly inserted into the hook-type bend 103 of the second hook. The hook-type design achieves initial alignment and temporary fixation during installation, simplifying the subsequent tightening steps. This structure can effectively limit the relative displacement of the rainproof panel 2 in the vertical and horizontal directions, enhancing overall stability.

[0031] The second connecting component 3 enables a sealed and reinforced connection of the longitudinal rainproof panels 2, which is a composite connection structure of "interlocking + cap". The third inverted L-shaped hook 301 and the fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302 are symmetrically arranged on the upper part of two adjacent longitudinal rainproof panels 2, with their horizontal ends facing each other. The inverted U-shaped top cover 303, like a "hat", is fastened on the horizontal ends of the two hooks, the third inverted L-shaped hook 301 and the fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302.

[0032] The third inverted L-shaped hook 301 and the fourth inverted L-shaped hook 302 are respectively fixed to the adjacent rainproof panels 2. The top cover 303 is fastened to the horizontal ends of the two hooks. The first locking screw is passed through the third and fourth mounting holes on the top cover 303, and the first and second mounting holes on the lower hook, and finally tightened to secure it. The inverted U-shaped cover completely covers the longitudinal seam, fundamentally preventing rainwater from entering from the seam. The bolt fastening and cover structure tightly connect the two rainproof panels 2 into one unit, significantly improving the rigidity and deformation resistance of the entire top cover.

[0033] The third connection group connects the rainproof panel 2 system to the air conditioning unit housing 6 via a fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5. The horizontal end of the fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 4 of the rainproof panel 2. The vertical end of the fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5 is connected to the side wall or frame of the air conditioning unit housing 6 via a second locking screw 7. The end of the fifth inverted L-shaped hook 5 extends into the air conditioning unit, bringing its stress point closer to the inside of the housing. This reliably transfers the load (wind load, snow load, and self-weight) of the entire rainproof panel 2 system to the robust housing. The inward extension of the hook creates an "anchoring" effect, greatly improving the rainproof panel 2 system's resistance to overturning in strong winds.

[0034] The second inverted L-shaped hook 102 is lower than the top cover 303. This thoughtful design ensures that the lateral connecting components do not spatially interfere with the longitudinal top cover 303, allowing the entire connecting network to be smoothly and neatly integrated. The splicing method at the junction of the X-direction and Y-direction rainproof plates 2 does not interfere with each other. By adjusting the external dimensions of each type of rainproof plate 2 and the number of intermediate rainproof plates 2, the installation and use requirements of units with different shapes can be met.

[0035] When the lateral dimension of the unit is small, the intermediate rainproof plate 2 can be omitted, and the longitudinal end rainproof plates 2 can be directly spliced ​​together. When the lateral dimension is large, the overall lateral rainproof plate 2 splicing dimensions can be increased by adding any number of intermediate rainproof plates 2. For longitudinal dimension adjustment, since sheet metal is generally made of coiled material, as long as the lateral blanking dimension does not exceed the sheet metal width, the overall dimensions can be adjusted arbitrarily. During blanking, by fine-tuning the lateral and longitudinal sheet metal dimensions, precise control of the overall rainproof plate 2's dimensions can be achieved.

[0036] The modular hook and cover design enables "plug-in" installation, significantly reducing complex on-site measurement, cutting, and welding processes, shortening the construction cycle by more than 50%, and lowering labor costs and skill requirements. Multiple connection mechanisms (interlocking, bolt tightening, and cover sealing) ensure that the strength of the connection points is even higher than that of the material itself. The inverted U-shaped cover and overlapping hook structure form multiple waterproof barriers, achieving a leak-proof protective effect and effectively protecting the core internal components of the air conditioner from rainwater erosion.

[0037] The entire rainproof panel 2 system forms a rigid whole, firmly anchored to the housing, effectively resisting strong winds, heavy rain, snow accumulation, and even minor vibrations, making it suitable for coastal areas, high-rise buildings, and other areas with high wind pressure. If a rainproof panel 2 is damaged, it can be replaced individually simply by loosening the bolts and hooks in the corresponding area, resulting in extremely low maintenance costs. Its modular design allows it to easily adapt to air conditioning units of different sizes and shapes, offering strong versatility. Excellent sealing and a stable structure eliminate subsequent repairs and downtime losses due to leaks or loosening. The use of highly weather-resistant materials and reliable connections ensures the entire system has a long lifespan matching the air conditioning unit, resulting in low total lifespan costs. This air conditioning unit rainproof panel 2 solution not only solves the problems of cumbersome installation and easy leakage associated with traditional methods but also provides a high-performance, highly reliable, and perfect solution for modern installation and maintenance needs.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
