[0072] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0073] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0074] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0075] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0076] The first aspect of the present application provides a decorative piece 3000. As shown in FIG3 and FIG4, the decorative piece 3000 includes a main body 3100 and a cover 3200. The main body 3100 is provided with a first screw hole 3110, and the first screw hole 3110 is used to be penetrated and fastened by a first screw 4100. When the first screw 4100 passes through the first screw hole 3110 and is fixed to the target position, the entire decorative piece 3000 can be fixed. The cover 3200 is designed to be movably connected to the main body 3100. The cover 3200 is provided with a first screw hole 3110. 00's movable connection can be moved to two positions, namely the first position and the second position. When the cover 3200 moves to the first position, the cover 3200 can cover the first screw 4100, thereby hiding the first screw 4100 and avoiding exposure of the first screw 4100 to reduce the aesthetics of the product. When the cover 3200 moves to the second position, the cover 3200 can avoid operation on the first screw 4100, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the decorative part 3000 through the first screw 4100.

[0077] Specifically, the decorative member 3000 is used to enhance aesthetics. Therefore, the decorative member 3000 can have a variety of shapes, tailored to meet specific needs. For example, in this embodiment, the decorative member 3000 is generally annular. The following description uses the decorative member 3000 as an example of its application to the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 (and will also use the decorative member 3000 as an example below). Of course, the decorative member 3000 in this embodiment can also be applied to products other than the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and will not be further described.

[0078] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 includes an outer shell 1000, a heat exchanger and a wind wheel. The outer shell 1000 includes a panel 1100 (that is, the panel 1100 is regarded as a part of the outer shell 1000). The panel 1100 is provided with an air outlet (not shown in the figure). When the wind wheel is working, the air flow passes through the heat exchanger from the outside and enters the interior of the outer shell 1000, and continues to be discharged from the air outlet. In order to ensure safety, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 also includes an air outlet cover 2000, which is installed on the panel 1100 and covers the air outlet. In order to facilitate the installation of the air outlet cover 2000, the air outlet cover 2000 is fixed to the panel 1100 by screwing in the front of the panel 1100 (that is, screwing in from the outside to the inside, the inside refers to the inside of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and the outside refers to the outside world). That is, a second screw (not shown in the figure) is provided, and the second screw passes through the air outlet cover 2000 from the outside to the inside and is fastened to the panel 1100 to fix the air outlet cover 2000. This solution will cause the second screw to be exposed, and the exposure of the second screw will reduce the aesthetics of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0079] To this end, in the related art, a decorative piece 3000 is used to cover the second screw, and the decorative piece 3000 is fixed to the panel 1100 by screwing it on the back of the panel 1100. That is, a first screw 4100 is provided, which passes through the panel 1100 from the inside out and fastens the air outlet cover 2000. This not only achieves that the decorative piece 3000 covers the second screw, but also prevents the first screw 4100 fixing the decorative piece 3000 from being exposed. However, this method requires turning the panel 1100 over when installing the decorative piece 3000, and during after-sales disassembly and maintenance, the panel 1100 must be disassembled separately before the decorative piece 3000 and the air outlet cover 2000 can be removed, which is relatively troublesome.

[0080] To this end, in this embodiment, the decorative component 3000 includes a main body 3100 and a cover 3200. The cover 3200 and the main body 3100 are movably connected so as to be movable to a first position and a second position. By providing a movable cover 3200, the decorative component 3000 can be fixed by screwing screws on the front of the panel 1100 without exposing the screws. That is, when the decorative piece 3000 needs to be fixed to the panel 1100, the cover 3200 is moved to the second position so that the first screw hole 3110 is exposed, and the staff operates the first screw 4100 to pass through the first screw hole 3110 from the outside to the inside and fasten it to the panel 1100, thereby achieving the overall fixation of the decorative piece 3000; after completing the fixation of the decorative piece 3000, the cover 3200 is moved to the first position. At this time, the cover 3200 covers the first screw 4100 (that is, covers the first screw hole 3110), avoiding the exposure of the first screw 4100 and improving the aesthetics of the product; when the decorative piece 3000 needs to be removed, there is no need to disassemble the panel 1100, but only needs to move the cover 3200 to the second position. At this time, the first screw 4100 is exposed, and the staff can operate the first screw 4100 to loosen it, so that the decorative piece 3000 can be removed, and then the air outlet cover 2000 can be easily removed.

[0081] For example, as shown in Figure 2, the main body 3100 is in a circular shape, and four first screw holes 3110 are arranged at intervals and evenly along the extension direction of the main body 3100. The cover 3200 and the first screw holes 3110 correspond one to one. Through the setting of the four first screw holes 3110, the decorative part 3000 is effectively fixed.

[0082] It can be seen that by providing the first screw hole 3110 in the main body 3100, the first screw 4100 can pass through the first screw hole 3110 to fix the entire decorative part 3000. The movable cover 3200 provided on the main body 3100 can cover and expose the first screw 4100, that is, when it is necessary to operate the first screw 4100, the cover 3200 can be switched to the second position, and the cover 3200 will not interfere with the operation of the first screw 4100. After completing the operation of the first screw 4100, the cover 3200 can be switched to the first position. The covering of the cover 3200 avoids the exposure of the first screw 4100. It is in this way that when the decorative part 3000 is installed on the panel 1100 of the product, screws can be driven from the outside to the inside, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the decorative part 3000, and there is no need to remove the panel 1100 for after-sales maintenance.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the main body 3100 is provided with a recessed cavity 3120, and the first screw hole 3110 is disposed within the recessed cavity 3120. When the cover 3200 is moved to the first position, it covers the recessed cavity 3120, thereby covering the first screw 4100. When the first screw 4100 is tightened through the first screw hole 3110, the head of the first screw 4100 is located outside the first screw hole 3110, occupying a certain amount of space. In this embodiment, the recessed cavity 3120 is provided to accommodate the head of the first screw 4100. It is understood that due to the presence of the head of the first screw 4100, if the recessed cavity 3120 is not provided, the cover 3200 would need to be designed with a partial protrusion to avoid the head of the first screw 4100, which may be detrimental to the visual integration of the cover 3200 and the main body 3100.

[0084] Furthermore, in combination with Figures 2, 3 and 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the cover 3200 is designed to be embedded in the cavity 3120, so that the cover 3200 can be constrained and the cover 3200 can be made as flush as possible with the main body 3100, which is conducive to the visual integration of the cover 3200 and the main body 3100.

[0085] Specifically, because the cover 3200 is movably connected to the main body 3100, when the cover 3200 is switched to the first position, the cover 3200 is embedded in the concave cavity 3120. At this time, the cover 3200 is constrained by the concave cavity 3120, and the movement of the cover 3200 is limited, which can effectively prevent the cover 3200 from becoming loose. In addition, when the cover 3200 is switched to the first position, the cover 3200 is embedded in the concave cavity 3120. In this way, the surface of the cover 3200 and the surface of the main body 3100 can be made as flush as possible, which facilitates the visual integration of the cover 3200 and the main body 3100. It is understood that as long as the cover 3200 is at least partially embedded in the concave cavity 3120, it can be considered that the cover 3200 is embedded in the concave cavity 3120.

[0086] As shown in Figures 4 and 8, in some embodiments of the present application, a notch 3230 is provided on the edge of the cover 3200, so that it is convenient for the operator to contact the cover 3200 and switch the cover 3200 from the first position to the second position. Specifically, since the cover 3200 needs to be embedded in the concave cavity 3120 when switching to the first position, in order to facilitate the staff to contact the cover 3200 and apply force to the cover 3200 to switch the cover 3200 from the first position to the second position, by providing the notch 3230 on the edge of the cover 3200, the staff's hand can directly touch the edge of the cover 3200 so that part of the hand is stuck in the notch 3230, which facilitates applying force to the cover 3200 to switch the cover 3200 to the second position, or a tool can be inserted into the notch 3230 to apply force to the cover 3200 to switch the cover 3200 to the second position.

[0087] 4 , 7 and 8 , in some embodiments of the present application, the cover portion 3200 is provided with a convex rib 3220. When the cover portion 3200 is switched to the first position, the convex rib 3220 is embedded in the concave cavity 3120 and abuts against the cavity wall 3130 of the concave cavity 3120, so that the cover portion 3200 is interference fit with the main body portion 3100 when in the first position.

[0088] Specifically, as mentioned above, the cover portion 3200 is movable relative to the main body portion 3100. In order to ensure that the cover portion 3200 does not accidentally leave the first position when in the first position and cause the first screw 4100 to be exposed, a convex rib 3220 is provided. When the cover portion 3200 switches to the first position and is embedded in the cavity 3120, the convex rib 3220 abuts against the cavity wall 3130 of the cavity 3120, thereby increasing the friction between the convex rib 3220 and the cavity wall 3130 of the cavity 3120, so that the cover portion 3200 is not easily accidentally separated from the first position when no human force is applied.

[0089] For example, the cover portion 3200 has ribs 3220 on opposite sides of the portion that is embedded in the cavity 3120. When the cover portion 3200 is switched to the first position, the portion of the cover portion 3200 is embedded in the cavity 3120. At the same time, the ribs 3220 and the cavity walls 3130 on opposite sides of the cavity 3120 abut against each other, thereby achieving an interference fit between the cover portion 3200 and the main body portion 3100. The cover portion 3200 can be more firmly in the first position and is not easy to leave the first position, thereby effectively achieving the shielding of the first screw 4100.

[0090] 4 , 5 and 6 , in some embodiments of the present application, the main body 3100 has reinforcing ribs 3140 , which constitute the cavity wall 3130 of the cavity 3120 . This not only forms the cavity 3120 , but also strengthens the structural strength of the main body 3100 .

[0091] Specifically, the main body 3100 is in the shape of a circular ring as a whole. When the decorative part 3000 is installed on the panel 1100, the inner side of the decorative part 3000 is attached to the panel 1100. Viewed from the inner side of the decorative part 3000, the main body 3100 is in a hollow structure, which can effectively reduce the cost of the decorative part 3000. On this basis, in order to ensure the structural strength of the main body 3100, criss-cross reinforcement ribs 3140 are provided along the extension direction of the main body 3100, thereby improving the structural strength of the main body 3100. Based on the structure of the reinforcement rib 3140, the cavity wall 3130 of the concave cavity 3120 is formed by the reinforcement rib 3140. In this way, the structural complexity can be reduced while ensuring that the main body 3100 has a high structural strength.

[0092] There are many ways to movably connect the cover 3200 and the main body 3100, as long as it can ensure that the cover 3200 is movable relative to the main body 3100 so that it can move to the first position and the second position. In order to reduce the difficulty of movably connecting the cover 3200 and the main body 3100, in this embodiment, the cover 3200 and the main body 3100 are designed to be rotatable. The cover 3200 rotates relative to the main body 3100 to switch between the first position and the second position. It is understandable that during the process of the cover 3200 rotating relative to the main body 3100, as long as the cover 3200 rotates relative to the main body 3100, no matter what other actions the cover 3200 performs relative to the main body 3100 during this process, it can be regarded as a rotatable connection. Since the cover 3200 is rotatably connected to the main body 3100, no matter whether the cover 3200 is switched to the first position or the second position, the cover 3200 remains connected to the main body 3100 and will not be separated from the main body 3100, thereby preventing the cover 3200 from being lost.

[0093] For example, in combination with Figures 6, 7 and 8, the cover 3200 and the main body 3100 are rotatably connected through the following scheme: the cover 3200 has a rotating shaft 3210, and the main body 3100 has a card slot 3150. The rotatable connection between the cover 3200 and the main body 3100 is achieved through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 3210 and the card slot 3150. More specifically, the cover 3200 has rotating shafts 3210 on opposite sides, and the card slots 3150 on the main body 3100 correspond one-to-one to the rotating shaft 3210. Since the cover 3200 needs to cover the concave cavity 3120, the card slots 3150 can be set on opposite sides of the concave cavity 3120. The rotating shaft 3210 is inserted into the slot 3150. The cover 3200 will not separate from the main body 3100 due to the limitation of the slot 3150. In this way, the rotating shaft 3210 is constrained by the slot 3150, so that the cover 3200 can rotate without separating from the main body 3100.

[0094] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments of the present application, the outer side and the inner side of the decorative member 3000 facing each other are defined as a first direction. When the decorative member 3000 is installed on the panel 1100, the side of the decorative member 3000 facing the panel 1100 is the inner side, and the side of the decorative member 3000 facing away from the panel 1100 is the outer side. The slot 3150 is designed to extend a certain length along the first direction, which makes it easier to rotate the cover 3200.

[0095] Specifically, since the cover 3200 is rotatably connected to the main body 3100, when the cover 3200 rotates relative to the main body 3100, for example, when switching from the first position to the second position, the main body 3100 needs to form a clearance in the rotation path of the cover 3200. This clearance position of the main body 3100 will be left empty when the cover 3200 switches from the second position to the first position, affecting the appearance. To this end, in this embodiment, by designing the slot 3150 to extend along the first direction, when the cover 3200 rotates, the rotating shaft 3210 can slide along the slot 3150, thereby allowing the cover 3200 to move away from and closer to the main body 3100. That is, when the cover 3200 rotates and switches from the first position to the second position, the cover 3200 gradually moves away from the main body 3100 to avoid interference with the main body 3100 when the cover 3200 rotates. When the cover 3200 rotates and switches from the second position to the first position, the cover 3200 gradually approaches the main body 3100 to complete the covering.

[0096] 6 , in some embodiments of the present application, the slot 3150 is designed to be open away from the outer side of the decorative member 3000, that is, open toward the panel 1100. This makes the slot 3150 easier to manufacture. For example, if the main body 3100 is integrally injection-molded and has the slot 3150, and one end of the slot 3150 is open, it is easier to manufacture. It is understood that when the shaft 3210 is inserted into the slot 3150, the cover 3200 is closed onto the main body 3100, preventing the shaft 3210 from passing through the open end of the slot 3150 and escaping. When the cover 3200 is moved away from the main body 3100, it is blocked by the other end (the closed end) of the slot 3150, preventing the cover 3200 from escaping from the main body 3100.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, the main body 3100 is made of plastic, and the cover 3200 is also made of plastic, which effectively reduces costs, facilitates manufacturing, and also facilitates the connection between the main body 3100 and the cover 3200. For example, the main body 3100 is integrally injection-molded to form the cavity 3120, the first screw hole 3110, and the slot 3150, while the cover 3200 is integrally injection-molded to form the shaft 3210 and the rib 3220. When the shaft 3210 is inserted into the slot 3150, it can be slightly deformed, completing the assembly of the main body 3100 and the cover 3200.

[0098] The second aspect of the present application discloses an air conditioner outdoor unit 100. As shown in FIG1 and FIG2, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes the above-mentioned decorative member 3000. The decorative member 3000 includes a main body 3100 and a cover 3200. The main body 3100 is provided with a first screw hole 3110, and the first screw hole 3110 is used to be penetrated and fastened by a first screw 4100. When the first screw 4100 passes through the first screw hole 3110 and is fixed to the target position, the entire decorative member 3000 can be fixed. The cover 3200 is designed to be aligned with the main body 3100. The cover 3200 is movablely connected so that it can move to two positions, namely the first position and the second position. When the cover 3200 moves to the first position, the cover 3200 can cover the first screw 4100, thereby hiding the first screw 4100 and avoiding exposure of the first screw 4100 to reduce the aesthetics of the product. When the cover 3200 moves to the second position, the cover 3200 can avoid operation on the first screw 4100, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the decorative component 3000 through the first screw 4100.

[0099] By providing a first screw hole 3110 in the main body 3100, the first screw 4100 can pass through the first screw hole 3110 to fix the entire decorative piece 3000. The movable cover 3200 provided on the main body 3100 can cover and expose the first screw 4100, that is, when the first screw 4100 needs to be operated, the cover 3200 can be switched to the second position, and the cover 3200 will not interfere with the operation of the first screw 4100. After completing the operation of the first screw 4100, the cover 3200 can be switched to the first position. The covering of the cover 3200 avoids the exposure of the first screw 4100. It is in this way that when the decorative piece 3000 is installed on the panel 1100 of the product, screws can be driven from the outside to the inside, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the decorative piece 3000, and there is no need to remove the panel 1100 for after-sales maintenance. It can be understood that the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes the decorative part 3000 of any of the above embodiments. The decorative part 3000 of this embodiment adopts the technical solution of the above embodiments, and therefore has at least the beneficial effects brought by the technical solution of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0100] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 further includes a housing 1000, an air outlet cover 2000, a first screw 4100, and a second screw (not shown). The housing 1000 includes a panel 1100, and the air outlet cover 2000 includes a second screw hole (not shown). The components are assembled as follows: the air outlet cover 2000 is assembled onto the panel 1100, and the second screw is passed through the second screw hole and fastened to the panel 1100, thereby securing the air outlet cover 2000 to the panel 1100. The decorative member 3000 is then assembled onto the panel 1100 to cover the second screw. The cover 3200 is switched to the second position. The first screw 4100 is passed through the first screw hole 3110 and fastened to the panel 1100, thereby securing the decorative member 3000 to the panel 1100. Finally, the cover 3200 is switched to the first position. Since the first screw 4100 passes through the first screw hole 3110 and is fastened to the panel 1100, and the second screw passes through the second screw hole and is fastened to the panel 1100, that is, the first screw 4100 and the second screw are fixed from the outside to the inside, that is, the fixation is achieved by screwing on the front of the panel 1100. This makes installation convenient and there is no need to turn the panel 1100 over. During later after-sales disassembly and maintenance, there is no need to remove the panel 1100. The decorative part 3000 and the air outlet cover 2000 can be removed in turn on the front of the panel 1100.

[0101] A third aspect of the present application discloses an air conditioner comprising an indoor air conditioner unit and an outdoor air conditioner unit 100. The indoor air conditioner unit is placed indoors, while the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 is placed outdoors. The indoor air conditioner unit and the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 are connected to form a refrigerant circulation system. It is understood that the air conditioner includes the outdoor air conditioner unit 100 of any of the above-described embodiments. The outdoor air conditioner unit 100 of this embodiment adopts the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments and therefore at least has the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments. A detailed description thereof will not be repeated here.

[0102] Furthermore, in related technologies, the air outlet grille of an air conditioner outdoor unit is a key component of side-vent air conditioners and is essential for mechanical safety. The air outlet grille can be categorized by material as either plastic or wire mesh. Wire mesh grilles are often assembled by screwing them directly onto the front panel of the unit, leaving the screw heads exposed. Exposed screw heads are susceptible to rust and detachment after prolonged exposure to wind and rain. Rusted screw heads also affect the unit's overall appearance.

[0103] Please refer to Figures 9 to 12 and Figure 21. The fourth aspect of the present application discloses an air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, which includes: a shell 10, a mesh cover 20 and a decorative component 30. The shell 10 has a mounting plate 11, and the mounting plate 11 is provided with a mounting through hole 12; the mesh cover 20 is provided at the mounting through hole 12, and the outer periphery of the mesh cover 20 is connected to the shell 10 by fasteners; the decorative component 30 includes a main body 31 and a protective cover 33. The main body 31 is provided on the outer periphery of the mesh cover 20, and the protective cover 33 is movably connected to the main body 31 and covers the fasteners.

[0104] The above-mentioned air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 adds a decorative part 30 to cover the mesh cover 20 and sets a protective cover 33 on the decorative part 30. During installation, the protective cover 33 is opened to install fasteners to fix the mesh cover 20 and the decorative part 30. After the installation is completed, the protective cover 33 can cover the fasteners, which can reduce the problem of rust and easy falling off of the fasteners caused by rainwater.

[0105] Referring to Figure 9 , housing 10 is a protective housing 10 for an air conditioner outdoor unit 100. Air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes components such as a fan, a compressor, and an outdoor heat exchanger. The fan is disposed within housing 10. Mounting plate 11 is a side panel of housing 10 to which mesh cover 20 and decorative member 30 are mounted. Mounting plate 11 includes mounting holes 12. Mounting holes 12 can be square, circular, or in other shapes, and this application does not impose specific limitations thereon. Alternatively, mounting holes 12 can be cylindrical, which accommodates the fan and reduces the opening area of ​​mounting plate 11.

[0106] The mesh cover 20 is set at the place where the mounting through hole 12 is set on the mounting plate 11. The mesh cover 20 is fixed to the mounting plate 11 by fasteners. The fasteners can be bolts, screws, pins, etc. In the following embodiments, the fasteners are screws as an example for description.

[0107] The mesh cover 20 can protect the fan and reduce the entry of larger debris into the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, thereby increasing the service life of the air conditioner. It can also provide mechanical protection for the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 when the air conditioner is working to avoid safety accidents.

[0108] The decorative member 30 covers the portion of the mesh cover 20 near the edge and is connected to the mounting plate 11. The edge of the mesh cover 20 is located between the mounting plate 11 and the decorative member 30. The shape of the decorative member 30 is adapted to the edge shape of the mesh cover 20. In Figure 9, the decorative member 30 is a decorative ring and the mesh cover 20 is disc-shaped. The decorative member 30 includes a main body 31 and a protective cover 33. The protective cover 33 is movably connected to the main body 31 and covers the fasteners. Specifically, the protective cover 33 can move between an open position and a covering position. When in the open position, the protective cover 33 can expose the fasteners, or when the fasteners have not been installed, the installation position can be exposed. In the covering position, the protective cover 33 can cover the fasteners, thereby shielding the fasteners. Shielding the fasteners can also meet the appearance requirements of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0109] The protective cover 33 and the body 31 may be movably connected in ways including, but not limited to, a sliding connection, a rotating connection, and the like.

[0110] When it is necessary to fix the mesh cover 20 to the shell 10, open the protective cover 33 to expose the mounting position, pass the screws through the mounting position, the mounting parts 21 on the mesh cover 20 and connect them to the mounting plate 11, and tighten the screws. After the screws fix the mesh cover 20 to the mounting plate 11, close the protective cover 33 so that the protective cover 33 covers the screws, which can avoid or reduce the problem of the screws rusting or falling off due to rainwater.

[0111] 11 and 12 , in some embodiments of the present application, the body 31 is provided with a receiving groove 311 , a support portion 312 is provided in the receiving groove 311 , and the fastener abuts against the support portion 312 , thereby improving the stability of the screw connection.

[0112] Optionally, a plurality of receiving slots 311 are provided on the main body 31 of the decorative member 30. The number of receiving slots 311, the number of protective covers 33, and the number of screws are equal. Support portions 312 are provided within the receiving slots 311 to support the screw heads. After the mesh cover 20 is mounted on the mounting plate 11, the support portions 312 also provide some support for the screws, ensuring a more secure screw connection.

[0113] 12 , in some embodiments of the present application, the support portion 312 is provided with a support groove 313 , and the fastener is partially accommodated in the support groove 313 . In this way, the support groove 313 can provide a guide for the screw during installation.

[0114] The support groove 313 opened in the support portion 312 allows the screw to pass through, providing a guide for the screw during installation. The support groove 313 is a cylindrical through hole as shown in Figure 12. The rod of the screw is passed through the support groove 313. The support groove 313 can limit the range of movement of the screw during installation, making it easier to fix the screw to the mounting plate 11.

[0115] 12 to 14 , in some embodiments of the present application, the body 31 includes a reinforcing rib 32 , which connects the support portion 312 and the sidewall of the receiving groove 311 , thereby increasing the structural strength of the support portion 312 .

[0116] When the decorative piece 30 and the mesh cover 20 are fixed together with the screws, the support portion 312 abuts against the screws, and the support portion 312 is the primary force-bearing portion. The reinforcing ribs 32 connecting the support portion 312 and the sidewalls of the receiving groove 311 enhance the structural strength of the support portion 312, making it less likely that the screws will loosen and cause the decorative piece 30 and the mesh cover 20 to loosen and fall off. Alternatively, the reinforcing ribs 32 may connect the support portion 312 and the sidewalls of the receiving groove 311 in mutually perpendicular directions.

[0117] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 13 and 14 , a plurality of receiving grooves 311 are provided on the main body 31 of the decorative member 30. The sidewalls of two spaced receiving grooves 311 and the two supporting portions 312 are also connected by reinforcing ribs 32. The reinforcing ribs 32 can be arranged relatively densely or at intervals, as long as the required structural strength of the decorative member 30 is met. Optionally, as shown in Figure 14 , the reinforcing ribs 32 can be arranged in a "cross" shape. In other embodiments, they can be arranged in other shapes, such as a triangle, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 15 , in some embodiments of the present application, the protective cover 33 includes a cover body 331, a first side panel 332, and a second side panel 333. The first side panel 332 and the second side panel 333 are spaced apart on either side of the cover body 331. A rotating shaft 334 is disposed on each of the first and second side panels 332 and 333. The accommodating groove 311 has a first side surface 314 and a second side surface 315 that oppose each other. The first and second side surfaces 314 and 315 are each provided with a connecting hole 336. The rotating shaft 334 is rotatably disposed within the connecting hole 336. In this manner, the protective cover 33 is rotatably connected to the body 31.

[0119] As shown in FIG15 , the protective cover 33 includes a cover body 331 and a first side plate 332 and a second side plate 333. The first side plate 332 and the second side plate 333 are disposed on either side of the cover body 331. Specifically, as shown in FIG15 , the first side plate 332 is disposed on the left side of the cover body 331, and the second side plate 333 is disposed on the right side of the cover body 331. A rotating shaft 334 is disposed on each of the first side plate 332 and the second side plate 333. After the rotating shaft 334 is fixed, the protective cover 33 can rotate around the rotating shaft 334.

[0120] The accommodating groove 311 has a first side surface 314 and a second side surface 315 relative to each other, and a connecting hole 336 is provided on the first side surface 314 and the second side surface 315. The rotating shaft 334 on the first side plate 332 can be set in one of the connecting holes 336, and the rotating shaft 334 on the second side plate 333 can be set in the other connecting hole 336. The rotating shaft 334 can rotate in the connecting hole 336, thereby driving the protective cover 33 to rotate relative to the main body 31. Specifically, please refer to Figure 12, the first side surface 314 is adjacent to the first side panel 332, and the rotating shaft 334 on the first side panel 332 is rotatably matched with the connecting hole 336 on the first side surface 314; the second side surface 315 is adjacent to the second side panel 333, and the rotating shaft 334 on the second side panel 333 is rotatably matched with the connecting hole 336 on the second side surface 315. In this way, the protective cover 33 can be rotatably provided on the main body 31, so that the protective cover 33 is integrated with the main body 31 when in the covering position, which not only protects the screw head, but also makes the decorative component 30 more beautiful.

[0121] Referring to FIG. 15 , in some embodiments of the present application, a limiting protrusion 335 is provided on the side of the first side plate 332 and / or the second side plate 333 . The limiting protrusion 335 is frictionally engaged with the first side surface 314 and / or the second side surface 315 . This facilitates the engagement of the protective cover 33 with the receiving groove 311 .

[0122] One or two limiting protrusions 335 can be provided. If one is provided, it can be provided on the surface of the first side plate 332 facing the first side surface 314 or on the surface of the second side plate 333 facing the second side surface 315. If two limiting protrusions 335 are provided, the two limiting protrusions 335 are provided, respectively, on the surface of the first side plate 332 facing the first side surface 314 and on the surface of the second side plate 333 facing the second side surface 315. It will be understood that the present application does not specifically limit the number of limiting protrusions 335.

[0123] After the protective cover 33 is closed, the limiting protrusion 335 can frictionally contact the first side surface 314 and the second side surface 315, thereby increasing the friction between the protective cover 33 and the first side surface 314 and the friction between the second side surface 315, so that the protective cover 33 fits more tightly in the accommodating groove 311, thereby preventing the protective cover 33 from falling off or opening due to long-term vibration of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, causing the screw heads to be exposed and causing problems such as rust and loosening of the screw heads.

[0124] Referring to Figures 16 and 17 , in some embodiments of the present application, the mounting plate 11 is provided with a groove 13. Groove 13 surrounds and communicates with the mounting through-hole 12. The bottom surface of the groove 13 is provided with a mounting hole 131 through which a fastener passes. The decorative member 30 is accommodated in the groove 13. This improves the flatness of the housing 10 and prevents damage to the decorative member 30.

[0125] Specifically, a groove 13 is provided on the mounting plate 11, and the groove 13 is recessed into the interior of the shell 10. The height difference between the bottom surface of the groove 13 and the mounting plate 11 can install the decorative part 30. Optionally, after the decorative part 30 is installed, the surface of the decorative part 30 facing away from the bottom surface of the groove 13 is flush with the outer surface of the mounting plate 11, so that the outer surface of the mounting plate 11 becomes a plane, which can improve the flatness of the shell 10 and prevent damage to the decorative part 30.

[0126] A mounting hole 131 is provided on the bottom surface of the groove 13. A plurality of mounting holes 131 are provided around the mounting through hole 12. The mounting holes 131 can be set as threaded holes or through holes. The fasteners cooperate with the mounting holes 131 to fix the mesh cover 20 and the decorative part 30 on the mounting plate 11 to improve the connection reliability of the mounting plate 11, the mesh cover 20, and the decorative part 30, so that the mounting plate 11, the mesh cover 20, and the decorative part 30 are fixed more tightly.

[0127] Referring to Figures 10, 17, and 20, in some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes a plurality of latching holes 132 and a plurality of latching members 35. The plurality of latching holes 132 are spaced apart on the housing 10 along the circumference of the mounting through-hole 12. The latching holes 132 include a first section 133, a second section 134, and a third section 135 sequentially connected along a first direction. The width of the first section 133 is greater than the width of the third section 135, and the width of the second section 134 gradually decreases along the first direction from the first section 133 to the third section 135. The plurality of latching members 35 are disposed on the side of the body 31 facing the mounting plate 11. The plurality of latching members 35 cooperate with the plurality of third sections 135 to mount the decorative member 30 on the housing 10.

[0128] Thus, the decorative component can be pre-positioned on the mounting plate 11 by utilizing the clamping member 35 and the clamping hole 132 .

[0129] Specifically, a plurality of locking holes 132 are spaced apart circumferentially around the mounting plate 11. These locking holes 132 can be disposed on the bottom surface of the recess 13, circumferentially around the mounting hole 12. In FIG17 , the first direction is clockwise, and the locking hole 132 comprises a first section 133, a second section 134, and a third section 135, which are sequentially connected in the clockwise direction. The width of the first section 133 is greater than the width of the third section 135, and the width of the second section 134 gradually decreases clockwise from the first section 133 to the third section 135. This allows for a tighter connection between the third section 135 of the locking hole 132 and the locking member 35, facilitating the engagement between the locking member 35 and the locking hole 132, and thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the decorative member 30 and the housing 10. The width of the locking hole 132 can refer to the distance between the sidewall of the locking hole 132, distal from the center of the mounting hole 12, and the sidewall closer to the center of the mounting hole 12, in the radial direction of the mounting hole 12. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first direction may also be counterclockwise.

[0130] When pre-positioning the decorative part, the card can be inserted into the first section of the card hole and rotated in the first direction to move the card from the first section 133 to the third section 135. The decorative part 30 is tightened and the assembly gap between the decorative part 30 and the shell is gradually reduced, so that the decorative part 30 can be pre-positioned on the shell 10. At the same time, the support groove 313 is aligned with the mounting hole 131, and then the decorative part 30 and the mounting plate 11 are locked with fasteners.

[0131] One end of each clip 31 away from the decorative piece extends in a first direction in the circumferential direction of the decorative piece and is spaced from the surface of the main body 31 to define a clip groove 351, wherein the clip hole 132 is engaged in the clip groove 351 along the side wall of the first direction in the circumferential direction of the mounting through hole 12, thereby pre-positioning the decorative piece 30 to facilitate the assembly of the fastener.

[0132] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes a limiting structure that connects the housing 10 and the body 31. The limiting structure is configured to limit the body 31 from rotating in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction. In this way, the decorative element 30 can be further reinforced.

[0133] Specifically, when the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is in use, the fan of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 activates, generating vibrations that may adversely affect the securing of fasteners, for example, by causing screws to loosen. The limiting structure restricts the decorative member 30 from rotating in the second direction (when the first direction is clockwise, the second direction is counterclockwise; when the first direction is counterclockwise, the second direction is clockwise), thereby avoiding or reducing the adverse effects of vibration on the decorative member 30 and facilitating the long-term, secure installation of the decorative member 30 on the mounting plate 11.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting structure includes a limiting member 36 and a fastener 37. The limiting member 36 is protruded on the side of the mounting plate away from the main body 31, and the limiting member 36 is located downstream of the clamping hole 132 along the first direction of the circumference of the mounting through hole 12.

[0135] The fastener 37 is provided on one side of the body 31 facing the mounting plate 11. The fastener 37 has a limiting groove 371, and the limiting member 36 is limited in the limiting groove 371. In this way, the decorative member 30 can be limited to rotate in the second direction by the limiting member 36 and the fastener 37.

[0136] Specifically, a stopper 36 is protruded from the mounting plate 11, with at least one stopper provided along the circumference of the mounting through-hole 12. The stopper is positioned downstream of the latch hole 132 along the first direction along the circumference of the mounting through-hole 12. That is, the latch hole 132 and the stopper 36 are sequentially arranged along the first direction along the circumference of the mounting through-hole 12. In this embodiment, the total number of fasteners 37 and latches 35 is equal to the number of latch holes 132, and the number of stoppers 36 is the same as the number of fasteners 37.
