When routing, it is necessary to use a branch wire tie on both sides of the partition to fix it, and the fixing position needs to be lower than the wire opening to prevent water from flowing into the electrical box along the motor line. The use of branch wire ties for routing is cumbersome and difficult to operate, affecting assembly efficiency. The gap between the middle partition and the motor line is too large, which is not conducive to preventing rainwater from entering the electrical box, and mice can enter the electrical box from the middle partition, which is easy to cause damage to the air conditioner.

[0023] The wire clip of an outdoor unit, an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The present invention provides a groove structure on the wire clip so that the groove structure is inserted into the upper end of the wire hole with the opening facing downward, so that the groove structure of the wire clip bends the motor wire to form a bent structure that bends upward. This structure can naturally form a water return bend after the motor wire is inserted, and water cannot enter the electrical box along the motor wire, which can effectively form effective waterproofing for the inside of the motor.

[0034] As Figure 1-5 shown, the present invention provides a wire clamp for an outdoor unit, which includes a groove structure 2.

[0035] The groove structure 2 can be inserted into the upper end of the wire passing hole of the outdoor unit with the opening facing downward, and when the wire clamp 1 is inserted into the upper end of the wire passing hole, the motor wire can be formed into a bent structure that bends upward in the groove structure 2.

[0036] By arranging a groove structure on the wire clamp, the present invention enables it to be inserted into the upper end of the wire passing hole with the opening facing downward, so that the groove structure of the wire clamp clamps and bends the motor wire to form an upward-bent bent structure. Such a structural method can make the motor wire naturally form a return bend after the wire enters, and water cannot flow along the motor wire into the electrical box, effectively providing waterproofing for the interior of the motor. At the same time, compared with the existing method of fixing with a support wire tie, the assembly efficiency is greatly improved, the process is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0037] The present invention effectively improves the rainproof effect of the whole machine: The effect after the motor wire is assembled is as Figure 3-5 , and a natural return bend is formed. The lowest point of the motor wire is outside the middle partition, preventing water from flowing along the motor wire into the electrical box. Even if the external fan blade splashes water and water droplets splash onto the wire clamp on the middle partition (as Figure 4 ), due to the tight fit between the wire clamp and the middle partition, all the water droplets are blocked outside the middle partition and cannot enter the interior of the middle partition, improving the rainproof effect of the whole machine.

[0038] Preferably,

[0039] the groove structure 2 includes a first spherical surface 21 and a second spherical surface 22 that are hollow inside. The first spherical surface 21 and the second spherical surface 22 are connected, and the first spherical surface 21 is arranged facing the interior of the outdoor unit, and the second spherical surface 22 is arranged facing the exterior of the outdoor unit. This is the preferred structural form of the groove structure of the present invention. Through the two hollow first and second spherical surfaces as Figure 1-2 shown, it is possible to splice them into a groove with the opening facing downward, so that when the wire clamp is inserted downward into the wire passing hole position, it can squeeze the motor wire and make the motor wire form an upward-bent bent structure, such as a structure similar to a "Ji" shape as shown in the figure, thereby effectively achieving a waterproof effect, and the assembly is convenient and the assembly efficiency is high.

[0040] Preferably,

[0041] The groove structure 2 also includes a first cylindrical arc surface 23 which is hollow inside and connected to the lower end of the first spherical surface 21 , and a second cylindrical arc surface 24 which is hollow inside and connected to the lower end of the second spherical surface 22 , and the lower end of the first cylindrical arc surface 23 is higher than the lower end of the second cylindrical arc surface 24 .

[0042] By connecting the first cylindrical arc surface to the lower end of the first spherical surface, the motor wire can be further bent and squeezed downward on the basis of the extrusion of the first spherical surface, and the bending angle is increased, so that the motor wire is bent steeper, thereby further effectively preventing water from entering the interior of the outdoor unit from the first spherical surface side. Similarly, connecting the second cylindrical arc surface to the lower end of the second spherical surface allows the motor wire to be further bent and squeezed downward on the basis of the extrusion of the second spherical surface, and the bending angle is increased, so that the motor wire is bent steeper, thereby further effectively preventing water from entering the interior of the outdoor unit from the second spherical surface side; and because the second cylindrical arc surface is located on the outside of the wire hole and the first cylindrical arc surface is located on the inside of the wire hole, setting the second cylindrical arc surface to be lower than the first cylindrical arc surface can enable the wire clamp portion located on the outside to have a stronger bending and squeezing effect on the motor wire, forming the bottom end through which water flows, thereby optimizing the prevention of water from entering the inside of the outdoor unit.

[0043] The present invention can also effectively form a U-shaped structure by matching the spherical structure with the cylindrical arc surface structure, so that the U-shaped structure wire hole and the reverse U-shaped groove structure of the wire clip are matched and inserted, which can make the matching gap between the two smaller, further improve the sealing performance, and improve the airtightness between the partition fan side and the electrical box, which is conducive to rain and rodent prevention, ensuring rain test and preventing mice from entering the electrical box from the partition motor line passing port.

[0044] Improved the whole machine's anti-rat and anti-insect effect: the U-shaped structure of the middle partition opening and the reverse U-shaped structure of the wire pass card ( Figure 1 ) to prevent small animals, such as mice, geckos, cockroaches, etc., from entering the inner side of the middle partition, causing the internal motherboard or other components to burn, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0045] Preferably,

[0046] The lower part of the second cylindrical arc surface 24 is also tangent to a plane, and the vertical axis of the plane is inclined with the central axis of the second cylindrical arc surface 24, thereby forming a cut-out clearance gap 4 to accommodate the motor line passing therethrough. Preferably, the clearance gap 4 is an elliptical shape. By cutting out the clearance gap in the lower part of the second cylindrical arc surface, a clearance gap for accommodating the motor line passing therethrough can be formed, which facilitates the motor line to be inserted into the clearance gap during assembly, improves assembly efficiency, and also forms a good limiting and stabilizing effect on the motor line, thereby improving the assembly fixing effect.

[0047] Preferably,

[0048] The wire clamp 1 includes a first plate 31 and a second plate 32 connected to each other, and the lower part of the first plate 31 is formed into an arc-shaped groove structure, and the arc-shaped groove structure can accommodate the first spherical surface 21 to be clamped therein; the lower part of the second plate 32 is formed into an inverted "U"-shaped groove structure, and the inverted "U"-shaped groove structure can accommodate the second spherical surface 22 and the second cylindrical arc surface 24 to be clamped therein. This is a further structural form of the wire clamp of the present invention. By setting the structural form of the first plate and the second plate, the first plate can be matched with the first spherical surface to form a stabilizing effect on the first spherical surface and improve the structural strength, and the second plate can be matched with the second spherical surface to form a stabilizing effect on the second spherical surface and improve the structural strength. The first and second plates can be conveniently operated by hand from the upper end, and the operation is convenient and simple.

[0049] Preferably,

[0050] The length of the first plate 31 is longer than that of the second plate 32; and the lowermost end of the first plate 31 is flush with the lowermost end of the first spherical surface 21, and the lowermost end of the second plate 32 is flush with the lowermost end of the second cylindrical arc surface 24. This is a further preferred structural form of the first and second plates of the present invention, which can support the first spherical surface and the second cylindrical arc surface respectively, and block the water flow along the motor line on one side of the second plate, effectively preventing water from entering the interior of the outdoor unit along the motor line, improving the sealing performance, and effectively preventing rain and rats.

[0051] Preferably,

[0052] It also includes a buckle structure 5 (preferably a triangular anti-loosening structure) arranged on the second plate 32, at a side away from the second cylindrical arc surface 24 and at a position lower than the first cylindrical arc surface 23. The wire clip 1 can be snap-fitted with the wire hole of the outdoor unit through the buckle structure 5. By setting the buckle structure, the wire clip can be firmly fixed to the position of the wire hole of the outdoor unit, preventing the wire clip from loosening during production and assembly, thereby improving working performance.

[0053] Improved the assembly efficiency of the whole machine:

[0054] During assembly, first clamp the motor wire at the wire opening of the partition, and then use the wire clamp to clamp the motor wire. Note that the triangular anti-loosening structure of the wire clamp is inserted into the positioning hole of the partition to prevent it from loosening.

[0055] Preferably,

[0056] The second plate 32 includes a first side rib 32a and a second side rib 32b located at the lower part thereof and connected to the second cylindrical arc surface 24, and the buckle structures 5 are two, which are respectively arranged on the first side rib 32a and the second side rib 32b. This is the preferred structural form of the second plate and the preferred structural form of the buckle of the present invention, and the wire clip can be clamped and fixed to the wire hole of the outdoor unit from both sides through the buckles respectively arranged on the side ribs on both sides, thereby improving the fastening effect.

[0057] The present invention also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, which includes the wire clip of the outdoor unit described in any of the preceding items. By providing a groove structure on the wire clip, the wire clip is inserted into the upper end of the wire hole with its opening facing downward, so that the groove structure of the wire clip bends the motor wire to form a bent structure that bends upward. With this structure, after the motor wire is inserted, a water return bend is naturally formed, and water cannot enter the electrical box along the motor wire, which can effectively form effective waterproofing for the inside of the motor. At the same time, compared with the existing fixing with a branch wire tie, the assembly efficiency is greatly improved, the process is simple, and the operation is convenient.

[0058] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes the aforementioned air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0059] In the prior art, when routing the outdoor unit motor wire, two branch wire ties are used for routing, and the process is complicated, including installing the branch wire tie, tightening the motor wire, and cutting off the branch wire tie head, a total of 6 processes (including two branch wire ties, process X2); using the wire clip of the present solution, since the wire clamping structure and the installation structure are integrated structures, it is only necessary to clamp the motor wire with the wire clip, which reduces 5 processes compared to the prior art and greatly improves production efficiency.

[0060] In summary, this wire clip structure design not only greatly improves production efficiency, but also has better rain, rodent and insect protection effects, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0061] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0062] 1. Improve the rainproof effect of the whole machine:

[0063] The effect after the motor line is assembled is as follows Figure 3-5 , naturally forming a water bend, the lowest point of the motor line is on the outside of the middle partition, preventing water from flowing into the electrical box along the motor line. Even if the outdoor fan blades throw water, water droplets will splash onto the wire clip on the middle partition (such as Figure 4 ), because the wire clip fits tightly with the middle partition, all water droplets are blocked on the outside of the middle partition and cannot enter the inside of the middle partition, thereby improving the rainproof effect of the whole machine.

[0064] 2. Improved the anti-rat and anti-insect effect of the whole machine:

[0065] The U-shaped structure of the middle partition opening and the reverse U-shaped structure of the wire pass card ( Figure 1 ) to prevent small animals, such as mice, geckos, cockroaches, etc., from entering the inner side of the middle partition, causing the internal motherboard or other components to burn, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0066] Improved the assembly efficiency of the whole machine:

[0067] During assembly, first clamp the motor wire at the wire opening of the partition, and then use the wire clamp to clamp the motor wire. Note that the triangular anti-loosening structure of the wire clamp is inserted into the positioning hole of the partition to prevent it from loosening.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
