Abstract
A unitary air conditioner includes a housing, a heat exchanger, a fan, and an electronic control device. The housing includes an outdoor air outlet and an outdoor air inlet. An outdoor airflow channel is formed between the outdoor air inlet and the outdoor air outlet. The heat exchanger and the fan are provided at the outdoor airflow channel. The fan is configured to drive air to flow from the outdoor air inlet to the outdoor air outlet. The electronic control device is at least partially located in the outdoor airflow channel.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 - 10 . (canceled)
11 . A unitary air conditioner comprising:
a housing including an outdoor air outlet and an outdoor air inlet, an outdoor airflow channel being formed between the outdoor air inlet and the outdoor air outlet; a heat exchanger provided at the outdoor airflow channel; a fan provided at the outdoor airflow channel and configured to drive air to flow from the outdoor air inlet to the outdoor air outlet; and an electronic control device at least partially located in the outdoor airflow channel.
12 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 11 , wherein:
the heat exchanger is provided adjacent to the outdoor air outlet and located on an air outlet side of the fan; and the electronic control device is located on an air inlet side of the fan.
13 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 11 , wherein:
the outdoor air inlet is one of two outdoor air inlets provided at left and right sides of the housing, respectively; the outdoor air outlet is provided at a back side of the housing; and the electronic control device is provided between the two outdoor air inlets.
14 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 11 , wherein the electronic control device is provided adjacent to a top of the housing.
15 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 11 , wherein the outdoor air inlet is provided at a bottom of the housing.
16 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 11 , wherein the outdoor air inlet is one of a plurality of outdoor air inlets, and at least one of the plurality of outdoor air inlets is provided at a bottom of the housing.
17 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 11 , wherein the electronic control device includes:
an electronic control box; a main control board located in the electronic control box; and a heat dissipation structure connected to the main control board and exposed on the electronic control box.
18 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 17 , further comprising:
a water collection receptacle provided at a bottom of the housing; and a water-slinging structure provided at the outdoor airflow channel and at least partially located in the water collection receptacle, the water-slinging structure being configured to strike and sling water in the water collection receptacle to assist the heat dissipation structure in dissipating heat.
19 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 18 , wherein:
the fan includes a drive member and an axial flow impeller drivingly connected to the drive member; and the water-slinging structure includes the axial flow impeller.
20 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 19 , further comprising:
an outdoor air duct provided at the housing and located on a side of the water collection receptacle away from the outdoor air outlet; wherein:
the outdoor airflow channel is partially formed in the outdoor air duct; and
a blade of the axial flow impeller is configured to partially extend out of an air outlet end of the outdoor air duct and extend into the water collection receptacle.
21 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 20 , wherein the heat dissipation structure is adjacent to an air inlet end of the outdoor air duct, and the blade of the axial flow impeller is configured to partially extend out of the air inlet end of the outdoor air duct, and throw water towards the heat dissipation structure.
22 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 17 , wherein:
an installation cavity is provided at the electronic control box, and the main control board is located in the installation cavity; a box air inlet hole is provided at one side of the electronic control box facing the outdoor air inlet, and a box air outlet hole is provided at one side of the electronic control box facing the fan; and the box air inlet hole and the box air outlet holes are in communication with the installation cavity.
23 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 22 , wherein the heat dissipation structure is located outside the box air outlet hole.
24 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 22 , wherein the heat dissipation structure includes a plurality of heat dissipation fins spaced apart from each other along a direction perpendicular to an axis of the first fan and extending along the axis of the fan.
25 . The unitary air conditioner according to claim 22 , wherein the electronic control device is provided adjacent to a top of the housing, and an opening direction of the box air outlet hole is provided obliquely downward toward a direction close to the fan.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
