Fig. 5 is a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to the present embodiment at another view angle, and fig. 6 is an enlarged view of a partial structure at B in fig. 5. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, and referring to fig. 5 and 6, in the present embodiment, the free end of the water diversion member 230 is bent towards the direction of the panel body 210 to form a water diversion segment 232, wherein the water diversion member 230 contacts the first panel 100 at the bending portion 233, and the contact dimension of the water diversion member 230 and the first panel 100 is not smaller than the dimension of the assembly hole 110 along the left-right direction.

In this embodiment, the direction indicated by the arrow ab in fig. 3 and 4 is the left-right direction.

Fig. 7 is a bottom cross-sectional view of the panel assembly provided in the present embodiment at a position of one fitting hole 110, and fig. 8 is an enlarged view of a partial structure at C in fig. 7. As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the dimension of the water diversion member 230 in contact with the first panel 100 in the left-right direction is denoted by L1 in fig. 8; the dimension of the fitting hole 110 in the left-right direction is the width of the fitting hole 110, and is denoted by L2 in fig. 8.

In use, when water flows down, the water diversion segment 232 will block water with its surface facing the first panel 100 so that water flow can flow sideways along the water diversion segment 232 toward the mounting hole 110, preventing direct flow into the mounting hole 110. By bringing the water diversion member 230 into contact with the first panel 100 at the bending portion 233 and making the contact size not smaller than the width of the fitting hole 110, when water flowing down along the surface of the first panel 100 flows to the bending portion 233 of the water diversion member 230 and when water flowing to the bending portion 233 after being blocked by the water diversion member 230 can be blocked by the bending portion 233, water flow is prevented from entering the fitting hole 110 along the surface of the first panel 100, and thus water flow can be reliably guided to the lateral direction of the fitting hole 110.

In addition, by providing the water diversion member 230 so as to contact the first panel 100 at the bending portion 233, the bending portion 233 can also be used to support the second panel 200, thereby preventing abnormal noise from being generated due to the impact between the second panel 200 and the first panel 100 during the operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, the fold line where the bending portion 233 of the water diversion member 230 is located is disposed obliquely with respect to the left-right direction.

This arrangement makes when there is water to flow to the water diversion section 232, the water flow can utilize self gravity by the water diversion section 232 landing, and can not gather at the water diversion section 232, has guaranteed the timeliness of diversion, has improved diversion efficiency.

In this embodiment, the bending angle of the water diversion member 230 is α, wherein α is 10+.ltoreq.60 °. That is, the angle between the water diversion surface of the water diversion member 230 and the plate surface of the first plate 100 is between 10 ° and 60 °.

By limiting the bending angle of the water diversion member 230 to the above-mentioned angle range, on one hand, the problem that the water falling cannot be effectively drained due to the fact that the included angle between the water diversion surface of the water diversion member 230 and the plate surface of the first panel 100 is too small due to the too small bending angle of the water diversion member 230 can be avoided, and on the other hand, the problem that enough space needs to be reserved between the first panel 100 and the second panel 200 due to the too large bending angle of the water diversion member 230 can be avoided, so that the space requirement on the first panel 100 and the second panel 200 is reduced.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in the present embodiment, the panel body 210 has a panel area 211 opposite to the electric control unit 500 of the outdoor unit, and in a use state, the fold line of the bending portion 233 extends obliquely from top to bottom in a direction away from the panel area 211.

By setting the bent portion 233 of the water diversion member 230 to the above-described form, when there is water flowing to the water diversion section 232, the water flow can flow along the water diversion section 232 toward the outer edge direction of the panel region 211, preventing the water flow from gathering at the position of the panel region 211, thereby reducing the adverse effect on the electronic control assembly 500.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and 6, in the present embodiment, the water diversion member 230 may further include a supporting section 234, specifically, the supporting section 234 is located between the connecting section 231 and the water diversion section 232, and the supporting section 234 and the water diversion section 232 are separately located at two sides of the bending portion 233 of the water diversion member 230, and the supporting section 234 is in contact with the first panel 100.

By arranging the supporting section 234 between the connecting section 231 and the water diversion section 232, the supporting section 234 is utilized to form surface-to-surface contact with the first panel 100, so that the contact area between the water diversion member 230 and the first panel 100 can be increased, on one hand, the reliability of blocking water flow can be ensured, the situation that water flow enters the assembly hole 110 from the bending part 233 due to loose local matching of line-to-surface contact is avoided, and on the other hand, the supporting reliability of the panel body 210 can be ensured, thereby effectively preventing abnormal sound.

With continued reference to fig. 6, in the present embodiment, the connection section 231 has a substantially wavy shape. This shape of the connection section 231 can reduce stress concentration generated in the connection section 231, and ensure structural strength of the connection section 231, thereby prolonging the service life of the water diversion member 230.

Fig. 9 is a partial structural sectional view of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in the view of fig. 5, and fig. 10 is an enlarged partial structural view of D in fig. 9. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, in this embodiment, the support section 234 is an interference fit with the first panel 100.
