[0062] The present application provides an air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9 , the air conditioner outdoor unit includes:

[0064] The housing includes a top cover 100 and a bottom plate 200;

[0065] The air guide ring 300 has a first connection portion 310 connected to the top cover 100 on its upper side and a second connection portion 320 connected to the bottom plate 200 on its lower side;

[0066] The mounting frame 400 is disposed inside the air guide ring 300; and

[0067] The wind turbine includes a motor 600 mounted on a mounting frame 400 and a wind wheel 500 mounted on an output shaft of the motor 600 .

[0068] In the related art, during the operation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, the vibration of the compressor and the motor 600 will affect the wind wheel 500, causing the wind wheel 500 to vibrate synchronously. The technical solution of the present application is to place the mounting bracket 400 of the motor 600 in the air guide ring 300 to form a whole with the wind wheel 500 and the air guide ring 300 through the mounting bracket 400. In this way, the vibration impact brought by the compressor and the motor 600 will act synchronously on the whole formed by the wind wheel 500, the air guide ring 300 and the mounting bracket 400, so as to avoid the uneven change in the circumferential gap between the radial edge of the wind wheel 500 and the air guide ring 300 due to the vibration of the wind wheel 500 and the air guide ring 300, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the air outlet of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, reducing the noise caused by the air flow disturbance during the air outlet process, and improving the user experience.

[0069] The upper side of the air guide ring 300 is mounted to the top cover 100 via a first connection portion 310, and the lower side of the air guide ring 300 is mounted to the chassis 200 via a second connection portion 320. The air guide ring 300 is relatively stable relative to the housing, so that the top cover 100, chassis 200, air guide ring 300, mounting bracket 400, and impeller 500 tend to form a whole. After the vibration of the compressor is transmitted to the housing, the vibration of the air guide ring 300 relative to the housing can be reduced, thereby improving the installation stability of the air guide ring 300, avoiding abnormal noise, and ensuring smooth air flow. Here, the air guide ring 300 can be set separately from the panel 700. When assembling the air conditioner outdoor unit, the air guide ring 300 is then connected to the panel 700 by means of snap-on or screw-on connection.

[0070] It can be understood that the air guide ring 300 is first formed into a whole with the mounting frame 400, and then the motor 600 is installed on the mounting frame 400, and then the air guide ring 300 is fixed to the casing, thus completing the installation of the air-conditioning outdoor unit. Similarly, when disassembly, inspection or maintenance is required, the motor 600 is first removed from the mounting frame 400, and then the air guide ring 300 is removed from the casing. Compared with the operation of independently installing the air guide ring 300 and the mounting frame 400 on the casing, this solution improves the operational convenience for technicians to disassemble and assemble the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0071] Since the motor 600 is fixed to the mounting frame 400, which is located within the air guide ring 300, it can be seen that the impeller 500 is located at the end of the motor 600 away from the mounting frame 400, that is, the motor 600 is located on the air outlet flow path of the impeller 500. In this way, during the operation of the fan, the airflow driven by the impeller 500 will flow over the surface of the motor 600 and then be discharged into the environment through the air guide ring 300, thereby effectively controlling the temperature of the motor 600 and improving the continuous operation time of the fan. In addition, the motor 600 is directly mounted on the mounting frame 400 within the air guide ring 300. Compared with the space within the housing outside the air guide ring 300 being used for the impeller 500 and motor 600, in this solution, the motor 600 will occupy a small amount of space within the housing outside the air guide ring 300, thereby increasing the usable space of the impeller 500, thereby increasing the usable space of the air conditioner outdoor unit or reducing the size of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0072] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9 , the mounting bracket 400 is secured to the air guide ring 300 by welding. It should be noted that welding is a strong connection method that forms a durable metal bond between the mounting bracket 400 and the air guide ring 300, resisting stresses such as bending, vibration, and external forces. Welding the mounting bracket 400 to the air guide ring 300 ensures a secure and reliable connection, maintaining stability. Furthermore, the welded connection is permanent, requiring no additional fasteners or fixtures. Welding the mounting bracket 400 to the air guide ring 300 simplifies installation and maintenance, simplifying installation steps and reducing the risk of loosening or falling off. As will be appreciated, welding is commonly used with metal materials. Therefore, using both the mounting bracket 400 and the air guide ring 300 as metal facilitates effective support for the motor 600. Furthermore, the metal air guide ring 300 enhances its rigidity and resists deformation, ensuring its effective airflow guidance. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting bracket 400 may also be fixed to the air guide ring 300 by screwing.

[0073] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 and 8, the mounting frame 400 includes a main rod 410 and a secondary rod 420 connected to each other. The main rod 410 extends in a transverse direction, and the ends of the main rod 410 are connected to the air guide ring 300. It should be noted that the transverse direction is the horizontal direction or a nearly horizontal direction, and the main rod 410 extends in the horizontal direction. As the primary load-bearing member supporting the motor 600, the main rod 410 can provide gravity support for the motor 600 and also resist vibration of the motor 600. The secondary rod 420 and the main rod 410 form a frame structure, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire mounting frame 400. In addition, the two ends of the main rod 410 are connected to the air guide ring 300, which can support the interior of the air guide ring 300 and improve the stability of the air guide ring 300 under the diversion effect. In addition, the presence of the auxiliary rod 420 can effectively reduce the possibility of vibration of the compressor or motor 600 being transmitted between the air guide ring 300 and the wind wheel 500. Since there is a connection point between the auxiliary rod 420 and the main rod 410, it can absorb and damp vibration to a certain extent, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the air guide ring 300. Specifically, the main rod 410 can be provided in multiple pieces, distributed in parallel to form a plate-like structure, or multiple main rods 410 can be arranged at intervals, and the auxiliary rod 420 is used to strengthen the connection stability between the main rods 410. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting frame 400 can be provided with a fixing portion in the middle to fix the motor 600, and a connecting rod is provided between the outer peripheral side of the fixing portion and the inner peripheral side of the air guide ring 300. The connecting rod extends in the radial direction of the air guide ring 300 to fix the motor 600 in the air guide ring 300. Alternatively, the mounting frame 400 is provided in a plate shape, and the plate-shaped mounting frame 400 is provided with multiple air vents to reduce wind resistance.

[0074] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9 , a motor mounting hole 430 is provided in the middle of the mounting bracket 400 . This hole is used to insert and install the motor 600 . The mounting bracket 400 is connected to the motor 600 at a position adjacent to the middle portion of the motor 600 . This allows the motor 600 to be stably mounted within the mounting bracket 400 . Furthermore, the available space within the housing is increased, facilitating the layout and adjustment of components within the air conditioner outdoor unit. Of course, in other embodiments, the ends of the motor 600 may be fitted snugly onto the mounting bracket 400 .

[0075] Specifically, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9, a mounting lug 610 is provided on the outer periphery of the motor 600, a first mounting hole 414 is provided at the connection between the main rod 410 and the auxiliary rod 420, and a second mounting hole 421 is provided at the end of the auxiliary rod 420. A fastener is sequentially passed through the first mounting hole 414, the second mounting hole 421, and the mounting lug 610 to mount the motor 600 on the mounting frame 400. It should be noted that the mounting lug 610 is located in the middle of the axial direction of the motor 600, and one end of the motor 600 extends into the accommodation space enclosed by the main rod 410 and the auxiliary rod 420. The fastener is configured as a screw. Through the arrangement of the first mounting hole 414 and the second mounting hole 421, the fastener is passed through these holes and then clamped to the main rod 410 and the auxiliary rod 420. Then, the fastener is connected to the mounting lug 610 to enhance the stability of the connection between the motor 600 and the mounting frame 400. Furthermore, the mounting lugs 610, the first mounting holes 414, and the second mounting holes 421 provide clear positioning and alignment points, making the installation of fasteners more convenient. Similarly, when it is necessary to disassemble the motor 600 and the mounting bracket 400, the connection can be easily released by simply loosening the fasteners. This connection method simplifies the installation and removal process of the motor 600. In addition, the rod sections of the main rod 410 and the auxiliary rod 420 corresponding to the accommodating space are arranged in an arc shape with opposite protrusions to improve the compactness of the mounting bracket 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the outer peripheral side of the motor 600 is independently connected to the auxiliary rod 420 and the main rod 410, rather than connected to the connection between the main rod 410 and the auxiliary rod 420.

[0076] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9, the mounting frame 400 is provided with a raised section 415 that is raised toward the wind wheel 500, and the motor mounting hole 430 is provided in the raised section 415. It is understood that the section of the main rod 410 other than the raised section 415 is located in the air outlet path of the wind wheel 500. In this way, the raised section 415 of the main rod 410 can connect the motor 600 to the mounting frame 400 near its center, thereby ensuring the stability of the motor 600 on the mounting frame 400. In addition, the motor 600 is further away from the panel 700 relative to the air guide ring 300, thereby ensuring a gap between the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300, thereby reducing vibration and noise during the air outlet process of the air guide ring 300. Furthermore, the arched section 415 can increase the structural strength and stability of the main rod 410. In this embodiment, the auxiliary rod 420 is connected to the arched section 415, and the motor 600 is also mounted on the arched section 415, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting frame 400 and the installation stability of the motor 600. Of course, in other embodiments, the main rod 410 is in a straight position, that is, the mounting frame 400 extends straight in the horizontal direction.

[0077] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9, the mounting frame 400 includes two main rods 410 and two auxiliary rods 420. The two auxiliary rods 420 are connected in parallel between the two main rods 410 to enclose a motor mounting hole 430. In this way, the airflow delivered by the wind wheel 500 passes through the main rod 410 more smoothly, reducing the air resistance of the mounting frame 400 and reducing the force on the main rod 410, which helps to improve the air flow efficiency of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and can reduce the friction between the main rod 410 and the airflow and the possibility of vibration of the main rod 410, which helps to reduce the noise level and reduce the vibration of the equipment, providing a quieter and more stable operating environment. Moreover, in terms of the distribution of the main rod 410, the motor 600 is smaller than the inner ring of the air guide ring 300. The design of the mounting bracket 400 can make the installation and maintenance of the motor 600 more convenient. When the motor 600 needs to be removed for inspection, the technician manually removes the motor 600 from the main rod 410 and the auxiliary rod 420, and then reaches into the interior of the casing to disassemble the motor 600 and the wind wheel 500, and then takes out the motor 600, or removes the air guide ring 300, and then takes out the fan. Compared with the existing practice of removing the air guide ring 300 and then removing the mounting bracket 400, this solution can directly remove the motor 600 from the mounting bracket 400 and then take out the motor 600, thereby improving the convenience of repairing the motor 600. It can be understood that in the structural form of the mounting frame 400 of the above embodiment, only the main rod 410 or the connecting rod is located in the air outlet path of the wind wheel 500. Since the main rod 410 and the connecting rod are relatively small in size, their impact on the air outlet of the wind wheel 500 is almost negligible.

[0078] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9, the main rod 410 includes a main board 411 and two reinforcing flanges 412. The two reinforcing flanges 412 are provided on the same side of the main board 411 and are arranged opposite to each other to enclose a groove-like structure. The presence of the reinforcing flanges 412 can form a frame structure or a reinforced edge on the same side of the main board 411, providing better support and stability, preventing the main rod 410 from bending or deforming, thereby effectively increasing the structural strength of the main rod 410. In addition, the two reinforcing flanges 412 are arranged opposite to each other, and they can support and balance the pressure on each other, further enhancing the structural stability of the main rod 410. This design helps to reduce vibration and shaking, and maintain the stable operation of the motor 600. Of course, in other embodiments, the main board 411 can be configured as a solid rod-shaped component. Without loss of generality, the groove-like structure of at least one main pole 410 is configured as a wiring groove 440, and a limiting block 450 is provided at the notch of the wiring groove 440. At the same time, the notch of the wiring groove 440 is opened on the side away from the wind wheel 500, which can reduce the wind resistance of the main pole 410 and improve the stability of the mounting frame 400. In this way, the conductive wires of the motor 600 are automatically arranged in the wiring groove 440. The limiting block 450 can prevent the conductive wires from falling and affecting the air output, thereby ensuring the stability of the power supply to the motor 600. Of course, in other embodiments, the conductive wires of the motor 600 can also be stably tied to the main pole 410 using a strap.

[0079] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 9 , a relief notch 413 is provided at the connection between the secondary rod 420 and the main rod 410 on the reinforcing flange 412. The secondary rod 420 is connected to the main rod 411 via the relief notch 413. It will be appreciated that the main rod 410 is primarily loaded with force by the main rod 411. The provision of the relief notch 413 allows the secondary rod 420 to be more tightly connected to the main rod 411, increasing the contact area, improving the strength and stability of the connection, and ensuring a secure and reliable connection between the secondary rod 420 and the main rod 410. Furthermore, the relief notch 413 provides a positioning reference for the connection, allowing for easy insertion and removal of the secondary rod 420, making it easier to connect or disassemble the secondary rod 420 from the main rod 410, thereby facilitating installation, repair, and maintenance of the mounting bracket 400 by technicians. Of course, in other embodiments, the secondary rod 420 can be connected to the side of the main rod 411 facing away from the reinforcing flange 412.

[0080] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9, the first connecting portion 310 includes a first connecting plate 311 and a second connecting plate 312 that are connected and arranged at an angle. The first connecting plate 311 is connected to the air guide ring 300, and the second connecting plate 312 is opposite and connected to the top cover 100. The first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate 312 are arranged and connected at an angle to provide a strong connection. This connection method can increase the stability and reliability of the connection. The first connecting plate 311 is connected to the air guide ring 300, and the second connecting plate 312 is opposite and connected to the top cover 100, so that the entire structure can be firmly fixed together.

[0081] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9 , the top cover 100 is provided with a first mounting protrusion 110 projecting downwardly from the second connecting plate 312, and the second connecting plate 312 is connected to the first mounting protrusion 110. The presence of the first mounting protrusion 110 on the top cover 100 enhances the strength of the entire structure by increasing the contact area and the number of connection points between the connecting components, thereby distributing and absorbing more force and reducing the risk of structural deformation and damage. Thus, the connection between the first mounting protrusion 110 on the top cover 100 and the second connecting plate 312 achieves a stable connection. This connection ensures a secure connection between the top cover 100 and the second connecting plate 312, enhancing the stability of the entire structure. Furthermore, the first mounting protrusion 110 also provides a positioning function for the installation of the air deflector 300, facilitating the positioning and alignment of the air deflector 300 and the top cover 100. This design can reduce assembly steps and time, thereby improving production efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the second connecting plate 312 can be directly connected to the top cover 100.

[0082] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 8 and 9 , a positioning notch 120 is provided on the cover edge of the top cover 100 corresponding to the first connecting plate 311. Thus, when a technician installs the air guide ring 300 on the housing, they first align the first connecting plate 311 with the positioning notch 120 and then install the air guide ring 300 on the housing. In other words, the positioning notch 120 provides a positioning function for the technician's installation operation, making it easier to position and align the air guide ring 300, the top cover 100, and the chassis 200. When the first and second connection parts 310 and 320 are respectively connected to the top cover 100 and the bottom cover 200, the top cover 100 and the bottom cover 200 are respectively provided with flanges. When the technicians install the air guide ring 300 on the casing, the second connection part 320 is first opposite to the second mounting protrusion 210, and the air guide ring 300 is adjusted from an inclined state to a vertical state. During this process, the first connection part 310 passes through the positioning notch 120, and then the second connection plate 312 is opposite to the first mounting protrusion 110, thereby realizing the installation of the air guide ring 300 in the casing. In this way, the convenience of pre-installing the air guide ring 300 is improved.

[0083] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9 , the outer periphery of the chassis 200 is provided with a flange, and the second connecting portion 320 is connected to the flange of the chassis 200. The second connecting portion 320, connected to the flange at the edge of the chassis 200, narrows the gap between the air deflector 300 and the panel 700, ensuring that the gap between the panel and the air deflector 300 meets wind noise requirements. Furthermore, the connection between the second connecting portion 320 and the chassis 200 faces the panel 700. This allows technicians to remove the panel 700 and then disconnect the second connecting portion 320 from the flange of the chassis 200, thereby improving the ease of installation and removal of the air deflector.

[0084] Furthermore, in one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 9, the connection direction of the second connecting portion 320 and the flange of the chassis 200 is at an angle to the connection direction of the second connecting plate 312 and the top cover 100, and tends to be perpendicular to each other. When the motor 600, the compressor or external force factors cause the air guide ring 300 to vibrate, the force direction of the second connecting portion 320 and the second connecting plate 312 is at an angle, which can enable the air guide ring 300 to maintain good stability in the horizontal vertical direction and make it more resistant to torsion and vibration, thereby reducing the risk of deformation and damage to the structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 are respectively connected to the flange at the edge of the top cover 100 and the flange at the edge of the chassis 200, or the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 are respectively opposite and connected to the top cover 100 and the chassis 200.

[0085] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9 , a second mounting protrusion 210 is provided on the flange of the chassis 200, projecting toward the second connecting portion 320. The second connecting portion 320 is connected to the second mounting protrusion 210. It will be appreciated that the presence of the second mounting protrusion 210 on the chassis 200 can enhance the strength of the overall structure by increasing the contact area and the number of connection points between the connecting components, thereby distributing and absorbing more force and reducing the risk of structural deformation and damage. Thus, the connection between the second mounting protrusion 210 on the chassis 200 and the second connecting portion 320 achieves a secure connection. This connection ensures a strong connection between the chassis 200 and the second connecting portion 320, enhancing the stability of the overall structure. Furthermore, the second mounting protrusion 210 also provides a positioning function for the installation of the air deflector 300, facilitating the positioning and alignment of the air deflector 300 with the chassis 200. This design can reduce assembly steps and time, thereby improving production efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the second connecting portion 320 can also be directly connected to the flange of the chassis 200.

[0086] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 9 , the lower end of the second connection portion 320 is provided with an abutting flange 321, which abuts against the bottom wall of the chassis 200. Thus, after the air guide ring 300 is installed in the housing, the abutting flange 321 can provide support for the air guide ring 300, thereby reducing the vertical force between the second connection portion 320 and the second mounting protrusion 210. Furthermore, the abutting flange 321 cooperates with the second connecting plate 312 and the first mounting protrusion 110 to ensure the vertical stability of the air guide ring 300.

[0087] Specifically, in one embodiment, referring to FIG. 9 , the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 are connected to the housing via screws, or alternatively, one of the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 is connected to the housing via screws. This screw connection allows for a secure connection between the first connecting portion 310 and the top cover 100, and between the second connecting portion 320 and the top plate. Furthermore, when the device needs to be repaired or parts replaced, the screws can be easily loosened, making maintenance more efficient and reducing repair time. Furthermore, by loosening or tightening the screws, the tightness between the first connecting portion 310 and the top cover 100, and between the second connecting portion 320 and the chassis 200, can be adjusted to ensure that the tightness of the connection is adapted to different needs and environments. In other embodiments, the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 are connected to the top cover 100 and chassis 200, respectively, via snap-fit ​​connections.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 10 to 19. The air-conditioning outdoor unit also includes a panel assembly, which includes a panel 700. An air outlet is provided on the panel 700, and a ventilation duct is formed in the air guide ring 300. The ventilation duct is connected to the air outlet, and a snap-fit ​​structure and a screw locking structure are provided between the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700 to connect the air guide ring 300 to the panel 700.

[0089] The technical solution of the present application is to set a clamping structure and a screw locking structure between the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300. When assembling the panel assembly, the air guide ring 300 is clamped to the panel 700 through the clamping structure, so that the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700 achieve a preliminary stable connection effect. Then, the air guide ring 300 is screwed to the panel 700 through the screw locking structure, thereby greatly improving the connection stability and reliability of the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700. In daily use of the air conditioner, since the air guide ring 300 is stable and reliable on the panel 700, the noise that may be generated when the air conditioner is running is reduced, and the air outlet smoothness of the outdoor unit and the heat dissipation effect of the heat exchanger are ensured. In addition, the maintenance and replacement costs caused by the loosening or falling off of the air guide ring 300 are also reduced.

[0090] Among them, the clip-on structure and the screw locking structure can be set on the basic components of the existing panel 700 and the air guide ring 300, or they can be protruded outward on the side where the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300 are in contact with each other to ensure that the gap between the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300 meets the wind noise requirements.

[0091] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 11 and 14, the snap-fit ​​structure is configured as a rotational buckle structure. In this way, when assembling the panel assembly, the operator only needs to align the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700 with the connection point and complete the installation by rotating. Similarly, the screw-on installation is convenient for daily maintenance and replacement. When the air guide ring 300 or the panel 700 needs to be repaired or replaced, the assembly can be disassembled by simply undoing the rotational buckle structure without the need for special tools, which facilitates the technician's operation and improves the technician's operating efficiency. Compared with other complex installation methods, the screw-on installation method of this embodiment can save the technician's time and energy. It should be noted that the rotational buckle installation method can provide a firm connection for the air guide ring 300 to ensure the stability between the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700. Of course, in other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​structure can be configured as a snap-fit ​​structure, and the snap-fit ​​operation is performed in the distribution direction of the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300 to ensure the stability of the connection between the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700.

[0092] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 11 and 14 , the rotational fastening structure includes a first fastener provided on the panel 700 and a second fastener provided on the air guide ring 300, wherein the first fastener and the second fastener are fastened to each other. It is understood that in one embodiment, the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300 include respective main bodies and corresponding first and second fasteners. Thus, the rotational fastening structure does not destroy the original main body structures of the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300, thereby ensuring the air guide effect of the air guide ring 300. Since the first and second fasteners are tightly fastened to each other, they can effectively reduce noise and vibration caused by loosening. They provide appropriate fixing force, maintaining close contact between the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700, reducing friction and vibration between the components, and thus reducing the possibility of noise and vibration. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotational fastening structure can be provided on the respective main bodies of the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300.

[0093] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 13 and 16, a plurality of first screw members are provided and evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the air outlet, a plurality of second screw members are provided and evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the air guide ring 300, and the plurality of first screw members correspond one to one with the plurality of second screw members. In this way, the plurality of first screw members and the second screw members are interlocked, which can provide more fixing points and disperse the force connecting the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700. This can effectively reduce the possibility of loosening and vibration and improve the connection stability between the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700 during use. In addition, by evenly distributing the plurality of first screw members and the second screw members, even fixation between the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300 can be achieved, ensuring the stability of the entire assembly, and evenly distributing the fastening force, making the connection between the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700 more secure. Furthermore, even if a problem arises with the connection of a set of first and second turn-fasteners, the presence of other sets of first and second turn-fasteners can provide sufficient support for the connection between the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700, ensuring the integrity of the overall structure. Finally, depending on the size and shape of the panel 700 and air guide ring 300, the number of first or second turn-fasteners used can be increased or decreased to achieve the desired fastening effect. Multiple sets of first and second turn-fasteners help accommodate panels 700 and air guide rings 300 of different sizes and shapes, providing greater adaptability and flexibility. Of course, in other embodiments, the panel 700 may be provided with only one first turn-fastener, and the air guide ring 300 may be provided with only one second turn-fastener.

[0094] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 10 to 18 , the first screw member is configured as a buckle 810 having a circumferentially open slot 111, and the second screw member is configured as a mounting lug 910 radially protruding from the outside of the air guide ring 300. The mounting lug 910 is provided with a button hole 220, and the slot 111 engages with the wall of the button hole 220. It should be noted that the slot 111 is a notch extending circumferentially along the air outlet. The air guide ring 300 rotates along the circumference of the air outlet to engage with the panel 700. In the distribution direction of the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700, the wall of the button hole 220 is sandwiched between the side walls of the slot 111. Thus, the design of the slot 111 and the button hole 220 creates a tight connection between the first and second screw members. By engaging the slot 111 with the wall of the button hole 220, the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300 are secured. Furthermore, the interlocking connection between the slot 111 and the button hole 220 provides enhanced durability. During installation, the structure of the slot 111 and button hole 220 can withstand significant forces and is not susceptible to deformation or breakage. This ensures the long-term stability and reliability of the screw fastener, extending the life of the panel assembly.

[0095] Specifically, in one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 10 to 18, the buckle hole 220 includes a through hole section 221 and a limiting hole section 222 arranged along the rotation direction and communicating with each other, and the buckle 810 can be movably passed through the through hole section 221. In the radial direction of the air outlet, the buckle 810 is clamped between the opposite side walls of the limiting hole section 222. It can be understood that in the radial direction of the air outlet, the width of the through hole section 221 is greater than the width of the limiting hole section 222. By setting the through hole section 221, a positioning reference can be provided for the pre-installation of the air guide ring 300 to ensure the accuracy and convenience of installation. When the buckle 810 rotates and switches from the through hole section 221 to the limiting hole section 222, the hole wall of the limiting hole section 222 is clamped in the slot 111, and the buckle 810 is clamped on the opposite side walls of the limiting hole section 222 distributed along the radial direction of the air outlet, so that the air guide ring 300 remains stable relative to the panel 700 in the radial direction of the air outlet. This design ensures reliable fixation between the panel 700 and the air guide ring 300, and enhances the stability of the overall structure of the panel assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the hole wall of the buckle hole 220 of the mounting lug 910 is provided with a convex strip, and the extension direction of the convex strip is opposite to the opening direction of the card slot 111. The card slot 111 is connected to the outside world only through its opening. When assembling the panel assembly, the convex strip is inserted into the card slot 111 from the opening of the card slot 111 to ensure that the air guide ring 300 remains stable relative to the panel 700 in the axial and radial directions of the air outlet.

[0096] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 18 , the first screw member is configured as a buckle 810 having a circumferentially open slot 111, and the second screw member is configured as a clip 260 radially protruding from the outside of the air guide ring 300. The clip 260 engages with the slot 111 from the notch of the slot 111 along the rotational direction. In this way, technicians only need to align the ventilation duct on the air guide ring 300 with the air outlet and align the air guide ring 300 with the panel 700, without having to align the positional relationship between the first and second screw members. Then, by rotating the air guide ring 300 until the clip 260 engages with the slot 111, the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700 are connected. In other words, installation is completed by simply inserting the clip 260 into the slot 111. To disassemble, the reverse operation is performed, and the clip 260 is rotated to release the connection. This simple and convenient structural design improves technicians' ease of assembly and disassembly, and enhances installation and maintenance efficiency.

[0097] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 10 to 17 , the screw locking structure includes a screw hole 130 provided in the panel 700, a locking hole 230 provided in the air guide ring 300, and a screw. When the first screw member and the second screw member are fastened together, the locking hole 230 and the screw hole 130 are opposite each other, and the screw passes through the locking hole 230 and is screwed into the screw hole 130. It will be appreciated that after the first screw member and the second screw member are stably fastened together, the locking hole 230 and the screw hole 130 are precisely aligned. Thus, the screw can be directly passed through the locking hole 230 and screwed into the screw hole 130 to achieve the screw connection between the air guide ring 300 and the panel 700, preventing the two from loosening in the rotational direction. Since the locking hole 230 and the screw hole 130 are automatically aligned upon completion of the fastening, the user does not need to make any additional adjustments or corrections when turning the screw, and can simply perform a normal rotation operation. This simplifies the installation process, improves the convenience and efficiency of the operation, and avoids poor screw connection accuracy and poor screw connection stability caused by inaccurate alignment. Of course, in other embodiments, during the screwing process of the first screw member and the second screw member, once the locking hole 230 and the screw hole 130 are aligned, the screw can be screwed into the screw hole 130 without having to wait until the first screw member and the second screw member are screwed into place before screwing.

[0098] In the prior art, the material of the air guide ring 300 is usually plastic, which has insufficient rigidity and is prone to aging and deformation after long-term use. In one embodiment, referring to Figures 10 and 13, the air guide ring 300 is configured as a sheet metal. It can be understood that sheet metal is not easy to age and deform, and the rigidity of sheet metal is strong, which can meet the needs of long-term use of the air guide ring 300. In addition, compared with other metal materials, sheet metal has a lower weight. Therefore, configuring the air guide ring 300 as a sheet metal can reduce the weight of the overall structure and reduce the load on other components. In addition, sheet metal processing has good plasticity and machinability, and can be processed and formed through mold stamping, shearing, bending and other processes. This makes the design and production of sheet metal more flexible and can be customized according to actual needs to meet the needs of air guide rings 300 of different shapes and sizes. Of course, in other embodiments, the air guide ring 300 can be configured as a casting.

[0099] Furthermore, in one embodiment, referring to Figures 10 to 17 , the air guide ring 300 includes a first flange 240 and a second flange 250, respectively, disposed at either end of the ventilation duct. The first flange 240 abuts the outer periphery of the air outlet, and the first and second flanges 240, 250 are configured to form a closed annular structure. It will be appreciated that the first and second flanges 240, 250 bend and extend away from the ventilation duct. Firstly, by abutting the first flange 240 against the outer periphery of the air outlet and enclosing the first and second flanges 240, 250 into a closed annular structure, a good seal is achieved. This design effectively prevents air leakage or escape, ensuring proper and efficient gas flow within the air outlet and ventilation duct. Secondly, because the first and second flanges 240, 250 are located at either end of the ventilation duct and form a closed annular structure, they effectively prevent air backflow within the ventilation duct, ensuring that the air flow direction within the ventilation system meets design requirements and improves ventilation efficiency. Furthermore, by configuring the first flange 240 and the second flange 250 as a closed annular structure, the strength and stability of the entire air guide ring 300 can be increased. This design provides excellent rigid support, enabling the air guide ring 300 to withstand significant wind pressure and vibration during operation while maintaining structural integrity and stability. Of course, in other embodiments, one of the first flange 240 and the second flange 250 of the air guide ring 300 can be provided with a recess to facilitate removal of the air guide ring 300.

[0100] This application also provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor air conditioner unit and an outdoor air conditioner unit. The specific structure of the outdoor air conditioner unit is similar to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. Of course, in other embodiments, the air conditioner can also be configured as an integrated air conditioner.

[0101] The air conditioner of the present application can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install individually. It uses a flexible refrigerant pipe to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. In this way, when the user installs the equipment themselves, they only need to fix the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit separately, without having to assemble the refrigerant pipe and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and enabling user-friendly installation. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of the present application can also be an ordinary split-type air conditioner.

[0102] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
