In order to solve the problem that a lifting handle structure is difficult to disassemble at present, the utility model provides an air conditioner. As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner comprises an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, the indoor unit is provided with an indoor fan and a first heat exchanger 2, the outdoor unit comprises a shell, an outdoor fan, a compressor 1, an expansion valve 3, a second heat exchanger 4 and a four-way reversing valve 5, the compressor 1, the first heat exchanger 2, the expansion valve 3 and the second heat exchanger 4 are sequentially communicated through pipelines to form a circulation loop, and the loop is filled with refrigerant. The four-way selector valve 5 is provided at the outlet end of the compressor 1, and switches the flow path of the refrigerant flowing out from the outlet of the compressor 1. Wherein the pipe for connecting the compressor 1 and the first heat exchanger 2 is called a refrigerant pipe.

In the heating mode, the refrigerant flowing out of the outlet of the compressor 1 flows to the first heat exchanger 2, the expansion valve 3 and the second heat exchanger 4 in sequence after being acted by the four-way reversing valve 5 and then flows back to the compressor 1, at the moment, the compressor 1 compresses the low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is liquefied into the medium-temperature medium-pressure liquid refrigerant through the first heat exchanger 2, heat is released to the outside, the liquid refrigerant enters the expansion valve 3 for throttling, and then absorbs heat through the second heat exchanger 4, so that the liquid refrigerant is evaporated to form a gas state, and then enters the compressor 1 for compression and pressurization, and the reciprocating circulation is utilized to heat by the heat emitted by the first heat exchanger 2. In the refrigeration mode, the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 1 sequentially flows through the second heat exchanger 4, the expansion valve 3 and the first heat exchanger 2 after being acted by the four-way reversing valve 5, the compressor 1 compresses the low-temperature low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is liquefied into the medium-temperature medium-pressure liquid refrigerant through the second heat exchanger 4, heat is released to the outside, the liquid refrigerant enters the expansion valve 3 to be throttled, and then absorbs heat through the first heat exchanger 2, so that the liquid refrigerant is evaporated to form a gaseous state, and then enters the compressor 1 to be compressed and pressurized, and the reciprocating cycle is adopted, and the heat is absorbed by the first heat exchanger 2 to perform refrigeration.

The wind blown by the indoor fan can exchange heat with the first heat exchanger 2, so that the air conditioning system blows hot air in a heating mode and blows cold air in a cooling mode. The outdoor fan is used for blowing air to the second heat exchanger 4 so as to enable air near the second heat exchanger 4 to flow, so that the speed of heat exchange between peripheral air and the second heat exchanger 4 is increased, the second heat exchanger 4 absorbs heat in an acceleration mode, and heat dissipation in a cooling mode is accelerated.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the housing 6 of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is provided with a mounting hole 61, a handle structure 7 is provided at the mounting hole 61, and a part of the handle structure 7 passes through the mounting hole 61 and is fixed with the housing 6.

The handle structure 7 includes a main body 71, a limiting member 72, a guiding member 73 and an elastic clamping member 74, where the main body 71, the limiting member 72, the guiding member 73 and the elastic clamping member 74 are all integrally formed, and made of plastics, such as PC.

The stopper 72 is provided at one end of the body 71, and the body 71 is inserted into the mounting hole 61 from outside the housing 6, and the stopper 72 is fitted to the outer surface of the housing 6. The guide 73 and the elastic clip 74 are provided outside the main body 71, respectively. The guide member 73 can be brought into contact with the housing 6 during insertion of the body member 71 from the mounting hole 61 to guide the body member 71 in the insertion direction of the body member 71, ensuring that the body member 71 can be inserted into the mounting hole 61 in the correct direction. In the process of inserting the main body member 71 into the housing 6, the housing 6 can be contacted with the elastic clamping member 74 and exert a force to force the elastic clamping member 74 to deform so as to avoid the housing 6, so that the main body member 71 can be smoothly inserted into or pulled out of the housing 6; after the elastic clamping piece 74 is separated from the shell 6, the elastic clamping piece 74 resets to clamp the shell 6, so that the main body piece 71 and the shell 6 are fixed, and the installation stability of the main body piece and the shell 6 is maintained. When the elastic clamping piece 74 needs to be disassembled, the elastic clamping piece 74 is shifted to deform so as to separate the main body piece 71 from the shell 6, and thus the main body piece 71 is conveniently pulled out of the shell 6.

Specifically, the elastic clip 74 includes an elastic portion 741 and a clip portion 742, and the clip portion 742 is connected to the main body 71 via the elastic portion 741. The side wall of the main body 71 is provided with a yielding hole 711, and the elastic portion 741 is disposed in the yielding hole 711 and connected to the inner side wall of the yielding hole 711. The engaging portion 742 protrudes outside the body 71, and a gap is provided between the engaging portion 742 and the stopper 72. The engaging portion 742 is provided with a first guiding surface 7421, and the first guiding surface 7421 is located at a side of the engaging portion 742 away from the limiting member 72. During insertion of the body member 71 into the mounting hole 61, the housing 6 can contact the first guide surface 7421 to force the engagement portion 742 to compress the elastic portion 741, thereby allowing the engagement portion 742 to clear the housing 6. After the locking portion 742 is separated from the housing 6, the locking portion 742 is restored under the elastic action of the elastic portion 741, so that the housing 6 is locked between the locking portion 742 and the stopper 72. When the main body 71 needs to be detached, the clamping portion 742 or the elastic portion 741 is shifted, and the elastic portion 741 deforms, so that the clamping portion 742 is retracted into the yielding hole 711 to avoid the housing 6, and the main body 71 is separated from the housing 6, thereby facilitating the main body 71 to be pulled out from the mounting hole 61.

Although the manner in which the locking portion 742 is locked to the housing 6 is described in the present embodiment, the locking portion 742 is engaged with the stopper 72 to lock the housing 6, the present utility model is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, a person skilled in the art may also provide a locking hole engaged with the locking portion 742 in the housing 6 to engage the locking portion 742 with the locking hole to lock the housing 6 without departing from the principles of the present utility model.

A key groove 712 is provided in the main body 71, and a finger of a worker can be inserted into the key groove 712 to carry the air conditioner outdoor unit with the main body 71 as a point of application. The groove 712 is inclined upwards along the horizontal direction, so that the air conditioner outdoor unit is more suitable for being gripped after the finger is inserted into the groove 712, and can be more convenient for a worker to apply force in the groove 712 to carry the air conditioner outdoor unit. The whole body member 71 is also arranged obliquely upwards along the horizontal direction, so that the thickness of the side wall of the body member 71 is more uniform, the strength is not insufficient due to the fact that the thickness of the side wall at a certain place is thinner, and meanwhile, the manufacturing material cost can be saved.

The bottom of the main body member 71 is inclined or arc-shaped, so that the main body member 71 can be reduced to occupy the space inside the casing 6, and some important parts in the casing 6 can be avoided, so that the outdoor unit is more compact in structure.

In addition, the side wall of the main body member 71 is provided with a water permeable hole 713, and rainwater entering the main body member 71 can flow out from the water permeable hole 713; meanwhile, the air inside the outdoor unit can flow from the water permeable holes 713 to the outside to increase the heat dissipation effect of the air conditioner outdoor unit at the body member 71.

The guide 73 is provided with a second guide surface 731. The second guide surface 731 can be brought into contact with the housing 6 during insertion of the body member 71 into the mounting hole 61 to guide the insertion direction of the body member 71 along the second guide surface 731. In the present embodiment, the body member 71 is inserted obliquely upward in the horizontal direction, and the guide surface is also provided obliquely upward in the horizontal direction.

An accommodating groove 77 is provided between the guide member 73 and the stopper 72, and the bottom of the accommodating groove 77 is lower than the lowest end of the second guide surface 731. As the body member 71 is inserted into the mounting hole 61, the housing 6 moves relative to the second guide surface 731 until the housing 6 moves into the accommodating groove 77, so that the housing 6 is attached to the stopper 72, and the relative movement between the housing 6 and the body member 71 can be restricted by the accommodating groove 77.

Specifically, the second guiding surface 731 is disposed opposite to the elastic clamping member 74. Of course, in other embodiments, the second guiding surface 731 may be disposed on other side walls of the main body 71, and the second guiding surface 731 may be disposed on different side walls of the main body 71, which are all included in the scope of the present utility model.

In the present embodiment, the key 712 is disposed obliquely upward in the horizontal direction, but this is not a specific limitation of the present utility model, and those skilled in the art may dispose the key 712 horizontally in other embodiments without departing from the principles of the present utility model.

In the present embodiment, the installation direction of the main body 71 and the installation direction of the second guide surface 731 are both inclined upward in the horizontal direction, but this is not a specific limitation of the present utility model, and those skilled in the art may also install the main body 71 and the second guide surface 731 in the horizontal direction in other embodiments without departing from the principles of the present utility model.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, a lifting part 75 is disposed on one side of the limiting member 72 away from the main body member 71, the lifting part 75 protrudes out of the limiting member 72, and the lifting part 75 is aligned with the upper edge of the main body member 71, so that the lifting part 75 and the inner side surface of the groove 712 can form a continuous curved surface, so as to increase the grasping area of staff. Meanwhile, after the lifting part 75 is arranged, the depth of the groove 712 can be shortened, namely the length of the main body member 71 is shortened, so that the volume of the main body member 71 occupying the interior of the air conditioner outdoor unit is reduced, the possibility of interference of the main body member 71 with other components is reduced, and the utilization rate of the interior space of the air conditioner outdoor unit is improved.

A reinforcing rib 76 is provided between the lifting portion 75 and the stopper 72, and specifically, the reinforcing rib 76 is provided above the lifting portion 75.

In summary, the mounting process of the handle structure 7 provided by the utility model is as follows:

inserting the body member 71 into the mounting hole 61 from the outside of the housing 6, and during the insertion of the body member 71 into the mounting hole 61, the housing 6 is brought into contact with the second guide surface 731 and relatively moved along the second guide surface 731, so that the body member 71 is inserted into the mounting hole 61 in the direction of the second guide surface 731; then, the first guide surface 7421 of the engaging portion 742 contacts the housing 6, and the housing 6 applies a force to the engaging portion 742, forcing the engaging portion 742 to move so as to avoid the housing 6. After the locking portion 742 is separated from the housing 6, the locking portion 742 is restored under the elastic action of the elastic portion 741, so that the housing 6 is locked between the locking portion 742 and the stopper 72. When the main body member 71 needs to be disassembled, the clamping portion 742 or the elastic portion 741 is shifted, and the elastic portion 741 deforms, so that the clamping portion 742 is retracted into the yielding hole 711 to avoid the housing 6, thereby facilitating the main body member 71 to be pulled out of the mounting hole 61.
