Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioner condensing unit accessories, and in particular to an air conditioner outdoor unit cover.

BACKGROUND

Most families use a condensing unit of an outdoor air conditioner outdoor unit for indoor cooling and heating, but when the air conditioner outdoor unit is placed outdoors for a long time, leaves, insects, dust, and the like will fall into the air conditioner outdoor unit. These sundries will affect the normal operation and heat dissipation of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Economic costs will be generated when these sundries are cleaned every time or due to the maintenance cost of failure caused by the sundries. The air conditioner outdoor unit in the prior art is designed with a slit. It is necessary to sleeve the cover on the air conditioner outdoor unit from top to bottom, resulting in inconvenience in sleeving and longer sleeving time.
