[0039] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0040] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0041] Some air conditioners in related technologies have junction boxes for wiring. However, the installation process of junction boxes in related technologies is quite cumbersome, often requiring two people to work together to install them. One person needs to manually position the junction box, and the other person needs to drive screws to fix the junction box to the air conditioner. This not only affects the overall assembly efficiency of the air conditioner, but also results in high labor costs.

[0042] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes a junction box 100 for an air conditioner 1000. Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the junction box 100 for an air conditioner 1000 according to the first aspect of the present invention will be described.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mounting portion 201 for mounting a junction box 100. The junction box 100 includes a box body 1 and a mounting ear 2. The box body 1 has a wiring cavity 110. The mounting ear 2 is connected to the box body 1 (the "connection" here can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral molding). The mounting ear 2 has a positioning structure 21 and a connecting structure 22. The positioning structure 21 is adapted to be positioned and engaged with the positioning portion 202 at the mounting portion 201 to limit the relative position of the junction box 100 and the mounting portion 201. The connecting structure 22 is adapted to be fixedly connected with the connecting portion 203 at the mounting portion 201 to prevent the junction box 100 from separating from the mounting portion 201.

[0044] Therefore, when installing the junction box 100, the positioning structure 21 and the positioning part 202 can be positioned and matched first to ensure that the relative position of the junction box 100 and the installation part 201 is determined. Then, the connection structure 22 is used to fix the junction box 100 to the connection part 203, thereby realizing the installation of the junction box 100. Thus, only one person is needed to install the junction box 100, saving the personnel input of manually positioning the junction box 100 by hand, reducing labor costs, improving the installation efficiency of the junction box 100, and reducing the installation difficulty of the junction box 100.

[0045] Moreover, since the positioning structure 21 and the connecting structure 22 are both integrated on the mounting ear 2, the mounting ear 2 is an integral component with the positioning structure 21 and the connecting structure 22. Therefore, no changes need to be made to the structure of the box body 1. For any structural shape of the box body 1, only the mounting ear 2 in the junction box 100 of this embodiment needs to be set to achieve quick installation of the junction box 100. It has strong versatility and wide application range.

[0046] Furthermore, since both the positioning structure 21 and the connecting structure 22 are located on the mounting ear 2, installers can focus their attention solely on the mounting ear 2, eliminating the need to observe and operate multiple locations within the junction box 100. This reduces the probability of missed operations and prevents installers from neglecting or forgetting to use the positioning structure 21, demonstrating a very ingenious design. Additionally, when the mounting ear 2 and the box body 1 are integrated, the installation reliability of the junction box 100 is improved, and assembly steps are reduced. When the mounting ear 2 and the box body 1 are separate components but assembled together, the replacement and maintenance of the mounting ear 2 are facilitated.

[0047] It should be noted that the junction box 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention may include one or more mounting ears 2, each mounting ear 2 being an integral component located at one point on the box body 1, rather than being a collective term for multiple sub-components distributed at multiple locations on the box body 1. Furthermore, it should be noted that the junction box 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention, in addition to the aforementioned mounting ears 2, may also have connecting ears with other functions, such as connecting ears with only a connecting structure 22, or connecting ears with only a positioning structure 21, etc.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning structure 21 includes multiple positioning surfaces 211a spaced around the connecting structure 22. The positioning structure 21 achieves positioning and engagement with the non-circular surface of the positioning part 202 through the multiple positioning surfaces 211a. That is, the multiple positioning surfaces 211a are not located on the same cylindrical surface. Therefore, the multiple positioning surfaces 211a can be used to restrict the rotation of the junction box 100 relative to the mounting part 201, thereby ensuring the reliability of the positioning structure 21 in restricting the relative position of the junction box 100 and the mounting part 201. In addition, it should be noted that the term "spaced around" mentioned in this paragraph should be interpreted broadly, that is, when the connecting structure 22 is cylindrical, substantially cylindrical, or hole-shaped, the orthographic projection of the multiple positioning surfaces 211a is spaced around the orthographic projection of the positioning structure 21 when projected onto a projection plane perpendicular to the axis of the connecting structure 22.

[0049] For example, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, multiple positioning surfaces 211a are multiple lateral faces of the same prism. Therefore, the structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and has good positioning reliability. It can be understood that a prism refers to a closed geometric body with parallel and congruent top and bottom faces, and parallel and equal lateral edges. Two parallel faces are called the bases of the prism, and the remaining faces are called the lateral faces. The specific number of lateral faces included in a prism is not limited. Furthermore, it should be noted that in some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning surface 211a can be a plane, but is not limited to a plane; for example, it can also be a curved surface, a folded surface, or a combination of a plane and a curved surface, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3As shown, the positioning structure 21 may further include a guide surface 211b provided on the inlet side of the positioning surface 211a. The inlet side refers to the side of the positioning surface 211a that first engages with the positioning part 202 during the assembly of the junction box 100 to the mounting part 201. Therefore, by providing the guide surface 211b on the inlet side of the positioning surface 211a, the positioning part 202 can be guided to quickly and effectively engage with the positioning structure 21 during the assembly of the junction box 100, thereby further improving assembly efficiency. It should be noted that the structural shape of the guide surface 211b is not limited; for example, it may extend obliquely away from the positioning structure 21 and away from the connecting structure 22. Furthermore, the positioning surface 211b may be a plane, but is not limited to a plane; for example, it may be a curved surface, a folded surface, or a combination of a plane and a curved surface, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning structure 21 includes a plurality of positioning ribs 211 spaced around the connecting structure 22, and a plurality of positioning surfaces 211a are respectively formed on the plurality of positioning ribs 211, that is, each positioning rib 211 has a positioning surface 211a. This facilitates the forming and processing of the positioning surfaces 211a and reduces material costs. Of course, the invention is not limited to this; polygonal grooves can also be provided on the positioning structure 21 to utilize the multiple sidewalls of the polygonal grooves as multiple positioning surfaces 211a. Furthermore, it should be noted that the term "spaced around" in this paragraph is interpreted broadly, meaning that when the connecting structure 22 is cylindrical, substantially cylindrical, or hole-shaped, the orthographic projections of the plurality of positioning surfaces 211a are spaced around the orthographic projection of the positioning structure 21 when projected onto a projection plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting structure 22.

[0052] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning structure 21 may further include a base plate 212, with multiple positioning ribs 211 disposed on the same side of the thickness of the base plate 212, and the connecting structure 22 disposed on the base plate 212. Thus, the connection of multiple positioning ribs 211 can be realized simply and effectively, and the connection reliability of multiple positioning ribs 211 can be improved, and the multiple positioning ribs 211 can be arranged in a simple and effective manner around the connecting structure 22 at intervals.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3As shown, the connecting structure 22 can be a first connecting hole, thereby enabling a fixed connection between the connecting structure 22 and the connecting part 203 by a connector (such as a screw) inserted into the first connecting hole. In this case, the positioning structure 21 can be configured to restrict the junction box 100 from rotating relative to the mounting part 201 around the central axis of the first connecting hole. Therefore, the connecting structure 22 has a simple structure, facilitates the fixed installation of the junction box 100, avoids mutual interference between the connecting structure 22 and the positioning structure 21 during processing, ensures reliable and effective processing of both, and guarantees uniform stress on the positioning structure 21.

[0054] In addition, combined Figure 2 When the connecting structure 22 is the first connecting hole, and the positioning structure 21 includes multiple positioning surfaces 211a surrounding the first connecting hole, and the multiple positioning surfaces 211a are multiple sides of a polygonal prism to restrict the junction box 100 from rotating relative to the mounting part 201 around the central axis of the first connecting hole, the positioning part 202 may include a polygonal prism, and the connecting part 203 is a second connecting hole passing through along the axis of the polygonal prism (therefore, a fixed connection between the connecting structure 22 and the connecting part 203 can be achieved by inserting a connector (such as a screw) through the first and second connecting holes). Thus, the structures of the positioning part 202 and the connecting part 203 are simple and easy to manufacture, and the positioning fit between the positioning part 202 and the positioning structure 21 is convenient, as is the connection between the connecting part 203 and the connecting structure 22. Furthermore, the polygonal prism containing the multiple positioning surfaces 211a and the polygonal prism included in the positioning part 202 can be the same or geometrically similar, thereby improving positioning reliability.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the junction box 1 may include a box body 11 and a box cover 12. The box body 11 defines a wiring cavity 110. A mounting ear 2 is connected to the box body 11 (the "connection" here can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral molding). The box cover 12 is detachably connected to the box body 11 for switching the wiring cavity 110. Therefore, the junction box 1 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. Moreover, after the box body 11 is installed on the mounting position 201 via the mounting ear 2, wiring can be connected to the wiring cavity 110. The box cover 12 can then be closed and connected to the box body 11 for easy wiring. During maintenance, it is not necessary to remove the junction box 100; only the box cover 12 needs to be opened, facilitating maintenance.

[0056] In a specific example of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the box body 11 has a buckle 111 and a connecting post 112, while the box cover 12 has a retaining ring 121 and a connecting platform 122. The buckle 111 engages with the retaining ring 121, and the connecting platform 122 is fixedly connected to the connecting post 112 by a connector (such as a screw). Therefore, when assembling the box cover 12 and the box body 11, the retaining ring 121 can be first fitted onto the buckle 111 to achieve a pre-positioning engagement, and then the connecting platform 122 and the connecting post 112 can be fixedly connected using a connector, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing labor costs. It should be noted that the structure of the connecting platform 122 is not limited; for example, it can be a platform, a recessed platform, or a boss.

[0057] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner 1000 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 may include an air conditioner body 200 and a junction box 100. The air conditioner body 200 has a mounting portion 201, and the mounting portion 201 has a positioning portion 202 and a connecting portion 203. The junction box 100 is a junction box 100 for the air conditioner 1000 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention. The positioning structure 21 is positioned and engaged with the positioning portion 202, and the connecting structure 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 203. Therefore, since the assembly efficiency of the junction box 100 can be improved and the labor cost of assembling the junction box 100 can be reduced, the overall assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 1000 is improved, and the overall labor cost of assembling the air conditioner 1000 is reduced. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this; in addition to manual assembly, the air conditioner 1000 can also be assembled automatically.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion 201 may have a support portion 204, which abuts against the box body 1 to space the box body 1 from the mounting portion 201. This prevents condensation from forming between the mounting portion 201 and the box body 1, improving the dryness of the wiring cavity 110 inside the junction box 100, enhancing wiring safety, and improving the operational reliability of the air conditioner 1000. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the junction box 100 may further include a support member connected to the box body 1 and adapted to abut against the mounting portion 201 to space the box body 1 from the mounting portion 201. This also similarly prevents condensation from forming between the mounting portion 201 and the box body 1, improving the dryness of the wiring cavity 110 inside the junction box 100, enhancing wiring safety, and improving the operational reliability of the air conditioner 1000.

[0060] It should be noted that the number of wiring cavities 110 within the junction box 100 is not limited; there can be one or more, and the junction box 100 can have wiring ports 113 that communicate with each individual wiring cavity 110, for example... Figure 4 As shown. In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the junction box 100 may be made of BMC fire-retardant material (BMC is an abbreviation for Bulk Molding Compound), thereby further improving the safety of the junction box 100 in use.

[0061] It should be noted that the type of air conditioner 1000 is not limited; for example, it can be an integrated air conditioner or a split-type air conditioner. The junction box 100 can be located in the indoor or outdoor portion of the air conditioner 1000. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 can be a window air conditioner. The air conditioner body 200 includes an indoor unit 2A and an outdoor unit 2B. The indoor unit 2A includes a duct component 2A1, an indoor heat exchanger 2A2, and an indoor fan. A duct cavity is defined between the duct component 2A1 and the indoor heat exchanger 2A2. The indoor fan includes a cross-flow impeller disposed in the duct cavity and a motor 2A3 disposed at one axial end of the cross-flow impeller. The side surface of the duct component 2A1 near the motor 2A3 serves as a mounting part 201 so that the junction box 100 is mounted on the side of the duct component 2A1 near the motor 2A3.

[0062] Therefore, when the junction box 100 is installed at the mounting location 201, it is positioned within the indoor unit 2A, facilitating future maintenance by repair personnel. Furthermore, since the junction box 100 is located close to the motor 2A3, when wiring connected to the motor 2A3 is installed within the junction box 100, the cable length can be shortened, reducing wiring costs and improving wiring convenience. Moreover, it is understood that the function of the junction box 100 is not limited; for example, it can be used to accommodate high-voltage wire connectors, such as those for indoor and outdoor motors, or to accommodate power cord connections.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 The indoor unit 2A and outdoor unit 2B are spaced apart in the inward and outward directions, thus defining a space 2C between them suitable for accommodating the window sash 3000. The window air conditioner includes a sealing assembly 2D and a locking assembly 2E. The sealing assembly 2D is adapted to seal between the bottom wall 2000 of the window and the lower end of the window sash 3000, and the locking assembly 2E is adapted to lock the window sash 3000 to prevent it from leaving the space 2C. This reduces the noise transmitted from the outdoor unit 2B to the indoor unit, improving the quietness of the air conditioner 1000.

[0064] Other components of the air conditioner 1000 according to embodiments of the present invention, such as outdoor fan, compressor, electrical control box, etc., and their operation, are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
