Referring to fig. 1 to 4, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a casing 10 and a stop valve 20.

A partial region of the top of the housing 10 is recessed to form a receiving space 10a, that is, a partial region of the top of the housing 10 is recessed toward the inside of the housing 10 to form a receiving space 10a at the outside of the housing 10.

At least a part of the structure of the shut-off valve 20 is located in the receiving space 10a, that is, the shut-off valve 20 may be located in the receiving space 10a in its entirety, or only a part of the structure may be located in the receiving space 10a, for example, a part of the structure of the shut-off valve 20 may be located in the housing 10, or a part of the structure of the shut-off valve 20 may protrude from the receiving space 10a.

Referring to fig. 1, to facilitate installation of the shut-off valve 20, a valve mounting plate 30 may be provided on the housing 10, and the shut-off valve 20 may be mounted on the valve mounting plate 30.

Another embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner indoor unit, a connection pipe, and the air conditioner outdoor unit according to any one of the embodiments of the present application.

Specifically, the shut valve 20 has a connection joint 20a, and the connection joint 20a is connected to connect the indoor unit of the air conditioner with the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

In fig. 1, two shut-off valves 20 are provided, one of which is a low-pressure shut-off valve 20', and the other of which is a high-pressure shut-off valve 20 ″, one of which is connected to a connection 20a of the low-pressure shut-off valve 20' and the other of which is connected to a connection 20a of the high-pressure shut-off valve 20 ″.

In some embodiments, only one integrated shut-off valve 20 with a high-pressure connection and a low-pressure connection can be provided, one connection being connected to the high-pressure connection and the other connection being connected to the low-pressure connection.

Among the correlation technique, high pressure stop valve and low pressure stop valve generally set up on the lateral wall of off-premises station, and this kind of arrangement makes the length of off-premises station longer relatively, and when the off-premises station was installed outside the window in regions such as bathroom, kitchen, the installation degree of difficulty is great, simultaneously, because the space that the installer was taken over in standing outside the window can not reserve the air conditioner position specially generally outside the window in regions such as bathroom, kitchen, the window does not have the space that supplies the installer to stand to take over, so the installer generally stands and takes over through the window. However, the windows in the bathroom, kitchen, etc. are generally small in size, and the high pressure cutoff valve and the low pressure cutoff valve are located near the bottom of the outdoor unit, so that it is difficult for an installer to operate the outdoor unit while standing indoors to perform the connection.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating space 10a is formed by recessing a partial region of the top of the casing 10, and at least a part of the structure of the stop valve 20 is disposed in the accommodating space 10a, the accommodating space 10a formed by recessing is equivalent to a vacant space originally belonging to the inside of the casing 10, and at least a part of the structure of the stop valve 20 is disposed in the accommodating space 10a, so that the length of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be reduced, and the overall structure of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be relatively compact. Meanwhile, since the receiving space 10a is located at the top of the housing 10, the position where the stop valve 20 is disposed is also relatively high, and an installer can easily connect the connection pipe with the stop valve 20 through a window while standing indoors, thereby also improving convenience of the connection pipe.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the relative positions of the stop valve 20 and the housing 10 can satisfy: on a projection plane parallel to the bottom surface of the housing 10, the projection of the shut-off valve 20 is located within the projection area of the housing 10. That is, no matter the whole structure of the stop valve 20 is located in the accommodating space 10a, or only a part of the structure is located in the accommodating space 10a (for example, the stop valve 20 may extend from the top of the accommodating space 10a to the outside of the accommodating space 10 a), the stop valve 20 does not protrude at least from the side wall of the casing 10, so that the length and width of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be relatively small, and the whole structure of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be more compact.

The installation position of the receiving space 10a may be adjusted as needed, and for example, referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, the receiving space 10a may be installed at an upper side of a compressor (not shown), and a partial region corresponding to the top of the housing 10 is recessed toward the direction of the compressor to form the receiving space 10a.

Generally, a certain empty space is provided in a region of the casing 10 located at an upper side of the compressor, and thus, the receiving space 10a may be provided at the upper side of the compressor.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the outdoor unit of an air conditioner includes a heat exchanger 40 disposed in a casing 10, the casing 10 includes a first side wall 11 located at a side of the compressor away from the heat exchanger 40, and a partial region of the first side wall 11 is recessed to form an accommodating space 10a.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, the housing 10 includes a first side wall 11, a second side wall 12, a front wall, a back wall 13, a top cover 14 and a bottom 15, the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 are disposed opposite to each other, the front wall (not shown) and the back wall 13 are disposed opposite to each other, the top cover 14 is disposed on the top of the first side wall 11, the second side wall 12, the front wall and the back wall 13, and the bottom 15 is disposed on the bottom of the first side wall 11, the second side wall 12, the front wall and the back wall 13.

The front wall panel is located on the air outlet side of the heat exchanger 40, and the back wall panel 13 is located on the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 40, that is, the back wall panel 13 generally faces the wall of the building, and the airflow after heat exchange with the heat exchanger 40 flows out from the back wall panel. The first side enclosure 11 is located on the side of the compressor facing away from the heat exchanger 40 and the second side enclosure 12 is located on the side of the heat exchanger 40 facing away from the compressor. A partial region of the first side enclosing plate 11 may be recessed toward the direction in which the second side enclosing plate 12 is located to form the receiving space 10a.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the stop valve 20 may be disposed on a side wall of the accommodating space 10a, that is, the stop valve 20 may be disposed at a height as high as possible to facilitate the operation of an installer.

Further, referring to fig. 1 and 2, a top side of the receiving space 10a may form a first opening 10b, that is, the top side of the receiving space 10a may be provided in an open structure, and the connection joint 20a of the shut valve 20 may be provided at the first opening 10 b.

The connection joint 20a may be located in the receiving space 10a or may protrude from the first opening 10 b. When the connection joint 20a is located in the receiving space 10a, an installer can connect the connection pipe with the connection joint 20a from the first opening 10b, and when the connection joint 20a extends out from the first opening 10b, the installer can directly connect the connection pipe with the connection joint 20a, in short, the first opening 10b is formed at the top side of the receiving space 10a, which can improve the convenience of the connection pipe.

In some embodiments, the top side of the receiving space 10a may not form the first opening 10b, for example, the receiving space 10a may only form an opening on the side facing away from the second side enclosure 12, and the connection tab 20a may extend from the opening to facilitate the connection of the installer.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 to 7, a partial region of the top cover 14 may be recessed to form the receiving space 10a, or a partial region of the back panel 13 may be recessed to form the receiving space 10a, and at least two of the first side panel 11, the top cover 14, and the back panel 13 may jointly form the receiving space 10a.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 2, no matter that a partial region of the first side wall 11 is recessed to form the accommodating space 10a, or a partial region of the top cover 14 is recessed to form the accommodating space 10a, a rear side of the accommodating space 10a may form a second opening 10c, that is, after the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is installed, the second opening 10c faces a wall of a building. The low pressure stop valve 20' is provided with a maintenance joint 20b, and the maintenance joint 20b can be arranged in the accommodating space 10a and close to the second opening 10c, that is, the maintenance joint 20b is arranged at a position relatively close to the second opening 10c.

In particular, most air conditioners require a vacuum to be drawn after the connecting pipes are connected, and the service connector 20b on the low pressure cut-off valve 20' is used to connect with the vacuum pipes during the vacuum drawing. Therefore, providing the second opening 10c at the rear side of the accommodating space 10a and the service coupling 20b at a position close to the second opening 10c can facilitate the installer to connect the vacuum tube from the second opening 10c.

Further, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the maintenance joint 20b is disposed obliquely with respect to the bottom surface of the housing 10, and the connection end of the maintenance joint 20b faces the second opening 10c. The connection end is the first end connected to the vacuum tube.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the connection joint 20a and the service joint 20b of the low pressure stop valve 20' are generally coaxially disposed, and the connection end of the connection joint 20a and the connection end of the service joint 20b are respectively directed in two opposite directions. Therefore, the maintenance connector 20b is disposed to be inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the housing 10, and the connection end of the maintenance connector 20b faces the second opening 10c, so that convenience of an installer to connect the vacuum tube from the second opening 10c can be improved, and connection of the connection tube to the maintenance connector 20b is not affected.

In some embodiments, the connection end of the service coupling 20b may also extend from the second opening 10c or the first opening 10b, or the second opening 10c may not be provided.
