[0026] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 18, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an outdoor cabinet. The outdoor cabinet includes a cabinet body 101, a mounting auxiliary member 103, and an air conditioner 102. The mounting auxiliary member 103 is fixed to the inner surface of a preset side wall 111 in the cabinet body 101 and, together with the preset side wall 111, forms an air conditioner mounting space. The inner surface of the preset side wall 111 is the surface of the preset side wall 111 facing the inside of the cabinet body 101. The air conditioner 102 is mounted in the air conditioner mounting space and is located inside the cabinet body 101. One end of the mounting auxiliary member 103 away from the preset side wall 111 is open. Through the above opening, the internal circulation air intake and the internal circulation air outlet of the air conditioner 102 are respectively exposed inside the cabinet body 101.

[0027] In the above outdoor cabinet, the mounting auxiliary member 103 is attached to the inner surface of the preset side wall 111 of the cabinet body 101, and together with the preset side wall 111, forms an air conditioner mounting space. As a result, the air conditioner can be installed, and the air conditioner 102 is prevented from protruding from the outer surface of the preset side wall 111, ensuring that the overall appearance structure of the outdoor cabinet is in good order and meeting the user's requirements for the appearance of the outdoor cabinet.

[0028] In addition, since the appearance structure of the above outdoor cabinet is in good order, for an outdoor cabinet in which the air conditioner protrudes in the prior art, the risk of collision during the transportation and installation processes is reduced, improving the safety during the transportation and installation processes of the entire outdoor cabinet.

[0029] The cabinet body 101 includes a plurality of cabinet side walls connected in sequence to form an annular structure, and a top plate and a base that respectively seal both ends of the annular structure. Preferably, the preset side wall 111 is arranged as the rear surface cabinet side wall of the cabinet body 101, and the front surface cabinet side wall of the cabinet body 101 is arranged as an openable and closable cabinet door, whereby the user can maintain the devices inside the cabinet through the cabinet door. The preset side wall 111 has a flat plate structure.

[0030] A first ventilation hole 1111 is provided at a position corresponding to the external circulation intake port 121 of the air conditioner 102 on the preset side wall 111, and a second ventilation hole 1112 is provided at a position corresponding to the external circulation exhaust port 122 of the air conditioner 102.
