Preferably, in the projection direction from top to bottom, M intersects the four-way valve 24 (in the length direction), and the included angle formed by the intersection is the included angle between M and N.
Specifically, from the perspective of three-dimensional space, since the length direction of the four-way valve 24 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the liquid storage tanks are often arranged along the vertical direction, the central axis of the first liquid storage tank 22 and the central axis of the second liquid storage tank 23 are coplanar and marked as virtual planes, the four-way valve 24 can penetrate through the virtual planes, and the included angle between the four-way valve 24 (length direction) and the virtual planes is the included angle between M and N.

Example 2
The embodiment further describes the condition that refrigerant leakage may occur at the compressor assembly and the corresponding structural improvement on the basis of embodiment 1.
In a conventional heat pump type air conditioner outdoor unit, a water module and a compressor assembly are often arranged adjacently, if refrigerant leakage occurs at the compressor assembly, the refrigerant can directly flow to the water module, and as an electric heating device is often arranged in the water module, potential safety hazards such as explosion combustion and the like often exist along with the rise of the concentration of the refrigerant at the water module. Even, along with the continuous leakage of refrigerant, there is some refrigerant to spread to the automatically controlled box of off-premises station, because set up a large amount of electrical components more intensively in the automatically controlled box, on the basis that there is the potential safety hazard in water module department, can further increase the risk of the inside burning of air condensing units.
As shown in fig. 5-6, the outdoor unit includes an outer discharge member 14, an air inlet side of the outer discharge member 14 is communicated with the second chamber 8, an air outlet side of the outer discharge member 14 can be communicated with an external environment, and the water module assembly plate 5 is provided with a refrigerant sensor 61 at least for detecting a refrigerant concentration of the second chamber 8. Therefore, by arranging the outer discharging part 14 and detecting the concentration of the refrigerant by using the refrigerant sensor 61, when the concentration of the refrigerant reaches a certain threshold value, the leaked refrigerant at the compressor assembly 2 is pumped out and discharged to the external environment by opening the outer discharging part 14, so that the safety risk of the water module assembly 3, the electric control box 10 and other parts caused by the overhigh concentration of the refrigerant in the outdoor unit is avoided. Meanwhile, under the separation effect of the wind isolation vertical plate 4 and the water module assembly plate 5, the refrigerant leaked by the compressor assembly 2 can be concentrated at the middle lower part of the second chamber 8, so that the refrigerant can be prevented from flowing to the water module assembly 3 easily and directly, and the potential safety hazard of the water module assembly 3 is reduced.
The upper part of the water module assembly plate 5 is provided with a refrigerant sensor 61, and specifically, the refrigerant sensor 61 is connected with the relief plate 511. Due to the separation of the wind-isolating vertical plate 4 and the water module assembly plate 5, leaked refrigerant tends to be concentrated at the middle lower part of the second chamber 8, and the refrigerant sensor 61 is arranged at the upper part of the water module assembly plate 5, so that when the refrigerant in the second chamber 8 reaches a certain amount and overflows from the second chamber 8 to the third chamber 9, the refrigerant sensor 61 can timely detect the condition that the refrigerant possibly flows to the water module assembly 3, so that the air conditioner can timely open the outer discharging piece 14, and meanwhile, the condition that the outer discharging piece 14 is opened too frequently due to the fact that the refrigerant sensor 61 is improperly arranged can be avoided.
The outer member 14 of the present application may be regarded as an outer member alone or in combination with other components to form an outer member. In particular, the present application proposes two arrangements of the offtake 14 for reference.
Form one
As shown in fig. 5, the outer discharging member 14 has a fan structure, and the refrigerant can be directly discharged to the external environment through the fan.
For the assembly of the outer member 14, the outdoor unit includes a front panel 13, the front panel 13 is provided with a mounting opening, the mounting opening is at least in direct communication with the second chamber 8, and the outer member 14 is disposed in the mounting opening and connected to the front panel 13. Therefore, the front of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is usually open, and when the refrigerant is discharged from the outer discharge member 14, the refrigerant can be discharged from the outer discharge member 14 directly towards the front of the outdoor unit, so that the refrigerant can be conveniently diffused in time, and the refrigerant is prevented from stagnating at the outdoor unit. In this case, the outer row 14 may be regarded as an outer row means alone.
It should be noted that, for different designs of the outdoor unit, the front panel 13 may be a whole front panel of a conventional outdoor unit, or may be formed by a plurality of panels, for example, the front panel 13 shown in the drawings of the present application may be regarded as one of the plurality of panels, which may be called a small panel, and is mainly used as the front panel structure at the second chamber 8 and the third chamber 9, and correspondingly, another large panel is also disposed at the first chamber 7, and the small panel and the large panel may together form the front panel structure of the whole outdoor unit.
