Technical Field

The present utility model relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, which is provided with a plurality of handles arranged on each outer plate of the outdoor unit, and is easy for operators to carry in various scenes.

Background

The existing outdoor unit has large volume and heavy dead weight, and needs to consider the situation of carrying by multiple persons. In various situations, such as transportation in narrow areas, ascending and descending stairs, etc., the difficulty of transportation for on-site operators is increased, and operators may face various difficulties in terms of space and force-bearing angle. Different handling modes are required for different environmental conditions of various scenes, so that the position of the handle needs to be designed to cope with handling operations in various scenes.

In the prior art, a plurality of handles have been installed for an outer panel of an outdoor unit. However, because the positions and the number of the handles are unreasonably designed in the prior art, the handling of operators still has difficulty, and the operators cannot cope with the situations of different handling environments.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the foregoing problems of the prior art, an object of the present utility model is to provide an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, which includes a plurality of handles, so as to improve convenience of carrying operation by personnel in different working environments.

In order to solve the above problems, the present utility model provides an air conditioner outdoor unit comprising: a main body, an outer wall of the main body enclosing a main body space, the main body space containing a machine room and a heat exchange chamber, wherein a compressor is provided in the machine room, a fan, a heat exchange member are provided in the heat exchange chamber, the outer wall of the main body comprising a front side, a rear side opposite the front side, a top side and a bottom side adjacent the front side in a height direction, and a first side and a second side adjacent the front side and opposite each other, wherein the first side is adjacent the machine room in the main body space and the second side is adjacent the heat exchange chamber, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit comprises a first front plate at least partially provided at the front side and adjacent the machine room side and a second front plate at least partially provided at the front side and adjacent the heat exchange chamber side, and the second front plate is provided with an air outlet grille, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit comprises a back plate provided at the rear side, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit comprises a first side plate provided at the first side and adjacent the first front plate, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit comprises a second side plate provided at the second side and adjacent the second front plate, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit comprises a top plate is further provided at the top side, and wherein the outer wall of the main body is further provided at the front side: a first handle disposed on the first front plate; the second handle is arranged on the second front plate and is positioned below the air outlet grille in the height direction, and the second handle is lower than the first handle in the height direction; the third handle is arranged on the top plate or the first side plate; and the fourth handle is arranged on the back plate.
