Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wiring harness installation structure technology, and more specifically, to a housing component and a household appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, household appliances offer users greater convenience. These appliances typically have an exposed power cord plug on the back panel, which is used to connect to a wall socket for power. A portion of the power cord assembly is in contact with the back panel, ensuring its stable position relative to the panel.

[0003] However, if the backplate has low strength or a large degree of bending, the power cord assembly is difficult to reliably connect to the backplate. In the safety test of the power cord assembly in home appliances, the power cord assembly is prone to moving relative to the backplate, the backplate may be pulled apart or deformed, resulting in the failure of the connection between the power cord assembly and the backplate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0005] Therefore, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a receiving component.

[0006] A second aspect of the invention is to provide a household appliance.

[0007] In view of this, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a receiving assembly is provided for a household appliance, the household appliance including a power cord assembly, the receiving assembly including a receiving member and a mounting member, the receiving member having a mounting opening. The mounting member is connected to the receiving member. The mounting member includes a mounting portion and a limiting portion, the mounting portion being located at the mounting opening, and a receiving cavity communicating with the mounting opening is provided between the mounting portion and the receiving member. The limiting portion is connected to the mounting portion and located within the receiving cavity, the limiting portion being used to restrict movement of the power cord assembly relative to the receiving member.

[0008] The present invention provides a housing assembly for use in household appliances, including power cord assemblies. The housing assembly is used to house the power cord assembly. The housing assembly includes a housing member and a mounting member. The housing member has a mounting opening, and the mounting member is disposed on the housing member. The mounting member includes a mounting portion and a limiting portion. The mounting portion is located at the mounting opening and is connected to the housing member. The mounting portion and the housing member form a housing cavity, which communicates with the mounting opening. Specifically, the mounting portion is connected to the inner edge of the mounting opening. The mounting portion can seal the mounting opening, preventing liquid from entering the housing cavity through the mounting opening. The liquid flows downwards guided by the mounting portion. It should be noted that the interior of the housing cavity is referred to as the "inner" cavity, and the exterior of the housing cavity is referred to as the "outer" cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting part is connected to the mounting part and is located inside the receiving cavity. Specifically, the limiting part is connected to the inner wall surface of the mounting part. The limiting part can contact the power cord assembly and restrict the movement of the power cord assembly relative to the receiving member. When an external force is applied to the power cord assembly, the power cord assembly is connected to the limiting part. The force-bearing position of the mounting member is not only at the connection between the mounting part and the power cord assembly, but also at the connection between the limiting part and the power cord assembly. This strengthens the fixing force between the power cord assembly and the mounting member, resulting in better positional stability of the power cord assembly and better structural stability of the mounting member. It will not detach from the receiving member due to tensile force, ensuring reliable connection performance between the power cord assembly, the mounting member, and the receiving member.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting part and the mounting part are an integrated structure. Because of the superior mechanical properties of an integrated structure, the connection strength between the limiting part and the mounting part is improved. Additionally, the limiting part and the mounting part can be manufactured as a single piece for mass production, thereby improving product processing efficiency and reducing processing costs. Moreover, by designing the limiting part and the mounting part as an integrated structure, the overall integrity of the housing component is improved, the number of parts is reduced, installation steps are simplified, and installation efficiency is increased, making the installation of the mounting component within the housing component more convenient and reliable. At the same time, the limiting part is located inside the housing cavity, which does not alter the overall appearance integrity of the housing component, enhancing its aesthetics and further ensuring the market competitiveness of home appliances using this housing component.

[0011] It should be noted that when the housing component is applied to home appliances, the housing component can form part of the outer contour of the home appliance.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting part can be made of plastic or metal. The mounting portion and the limiting portion can be manufactured by injection molding. Alternatively, the mounting portion and the limiting portion can be manufactured by stamping.

[0013] In one possible design, the mounting part is further provided with a cable outlet hole, and the limiting part has a limiting cavity. The cable outlet hole communicates with the receiving cavity through the limiting cavity, and the cable outlet hole and the limiting cavity are used to receive a part of the power cord assembly.

[0014] In this design, the mounting section has a cable outlet hole, and the limiting section forms a limiting cavity. The inner side of the cable outlet hole is connected to one end of the limiting cavity, while the outer side of the cable outlet hole is connected to the external environment. The other end of the limiting cavity is connected to the receiving cavity. In other words, from the inside out, the receiving cavity, the limiting cavity, and the cable outlet hole are connected. One end of the power cord assembly is located inside the receiving cavity, and the other end of the power cord assembly extends into the external environment through the limiting cavity and the cable outlet hole, thereby achieving electrical connection with the socket.

[0015] Because the limiting part has a limiting cavity, when the power cord assembly can extend into the limiting cavity, the power cord assembly contacts the cavity wall of the limiting part, effectively ensuring the contact area between the limiting part and the power cord assembly. When the power cord assembly exposed in the receiving component is pulled, the part of the power cord assembly located in the limiting cavity will be squeezed against the cavity wall of the limiting part and cannot be dislodged from the limiting cavity, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the power cord assembly relative to the receiving component. At the same time, the limiting cavity can provide multi-directional positional limitation for the power cord assembly, allowing the power cord assembly to contact the limiting part and achieve positional stability when pulled from different directions.

[0016] In one possible design, the limiting part further includes a first wire passage, a second wire passage, and an assembly port. The first wire passage, the second wire passage, and the assembly port are all connected to the limiting cavity. The first wire passage is positioned closer to the outlet hole than the second wire passage. The assembly port is located between the first wire passage and the second wire passage, and a portion of the power cord assembly extends into the limiting cavity through the assembly port.

[0017] In this design, the limiting part includes a first cable guide opening, a second cable guide opening, and an assembly opening, all of which communicate with the limiting cavity. That is, the limiting cavity has openings in three directions. The first and second cable guide openings are located on the extension path of the power cord assembly. The first and second cable guide openings are used to accommodate the power cord assembly; that is, when the power cord assembly is assembled, a portion of the power cord assembly is contained within both the first and second cable guide openings. The first and second cable guide openings are located at opposite ends of the limiting part, for example, the first cable guide opening facing forward and the second cable guide opening facing backward, or the first cable guide opening facing forward and the second cable guide opening facing downward, etc. The orientation of the first and second cable guide openings can be adjusted according to the actual structural characteristics of the limiting cavity. The assembly opening is located between the first and second cable guide openings. The assembly opening is used for assembling the power cord assembly; that is, the power cord assembly can extend into the limiting cavity through the assembly opening, thereby simplifying the assembly of the power cord assembly, avoiding bending of the power cord assembly during assembly, and preventing unnecessary wear during assembly.

[0018] In one possible design, the receiving component further includes a cover that is detachably disposed within the receiving cavity and is capable of covering the assembly opening.

[0019] In this design, after the power cord assembly extends into the limiting cavity through the assembly port, the power cord assembly has reached the assembly position. At this point, the cover is placed on the assembly port to prevent the power cord assembly from detaching from the assembly port, further ensuring the positional stability of the power cord assembly. It should be noted that the cover is detachably located within the receiving cavity and is placed on the assembly port after the power cord assembly is assembled. When the power cord assembly needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the cover can be removed from the assembly port, allowing the power cord assembly to be moved out of the limiting cavity.

[0020] In one possible design, a portion of the receiving element is further fitted over the assembly opening.

[0021] In this design, the sealing element can be an additional component or a part of the receiving element. Since a part of the receiving element can cover the assembly opening, it can improve the rational use of the structure.

[0022] In one possible design, the limiting part further includes a first limiting rib, which is disposed on the inner wall of the mounting part and located above the cable outlet hole. A first limiting step is formed between the first limiting rib and the mounting part. The limiting cavity includes the first limiting step, and a portion of the power cord assembly abuts against the first limiting step.

[0023] In this design, the limiting part includes a first limiting rib, which is connected to the inner wall of the mounting part and located above the cable outlet hole, i.e., the first limiting rib is a top limiting rib. The first limiting rib can restrict the upward movement of the power cord assembly. At the same time, there is a first limiting step between the first limiting rib and the inner wall of the mounting part. The first limiting step is bent and is part of the limiting cavity. A part of the power cord assembly can contact the first limiting step, which can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly. In other words, the first limiting rib can restrict the upward and forward movement of the power cord assembly.

[0024] In one possible design, the limiting portion further includes a second limiting rib, which is disposed on the inner wall of the mounting portion and located below the cable outlet hole. A second limiting step is formed between the second limiting rib and the mounting portion, and the limiting cavity includes the second limiting step. A portion of the power cord assembly abuts against the second limiting step.

[0025] In this design, the limiting part also includes a second limiting rib, which is connected to the inner wall of the mounting part and located below the cable outlet hole. That is, the second limiting rib is a bottom limiting rib, which can restrict the downward movement of the power cord assembly. Simultaneously, a second limiting step is provided between the second limiting rib and the inner wall of the mounting part. The second limiting step is bent and is part of the limiting cavity. A portion of the power cord assembly can contact the second limiting step, which can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly. In other words, the second limiting rib can restrict the downward and forward movement of the power cord assembly.

[0026] In one possible design, the first limiting rib further includes a first connecting end and a first bent end facing away from each other. The first connecting end is disposed on the mounting portion, and the first bent end extends away from the mounting portion and then bends. The second limiting rib includes a second connecting end and a second bent end facing away from each other. The second connecting end is disposed on the mounting portion, and the second bent end extends away from the mounting portion and then bends.

[0027] In this design, both the first and second limiting ribs have a connecting end that contacts the mounting portion and a bent end opposite to the connecting end. The first and second connecting ends are respectively connected to the inner wall of the mounting portion, forming a first limiting step with the first connecting end and the mounting portion, and a second limiting step with the second connecting end and the mounting portion. The first bent end extends away from the mounting portion and then bends to form a first bending groove, which is used to accommodate a part of the power cord assembly and can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly. Similarly, the second bent end extends away from the mounting portion and then bends to form a second bending groove, which is used to accommodate a part of the power cord assembly and can restrict the forward / backward movement of the power cord assembly. Specifically, the first and second limiting ribs are L-shaped.

[0028] In one possible design, the limiting part further includes an abutment rib connected between the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib, and the abutment rib, the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib together form a limiting cavity.

[0029] In this design, the limiting part also includes an abutment rib, which connects between the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib. The abutment rib, the first limiting rib, and the second limiting rib together form a limiting cavity, and the assembly opening is located on the other side of the limiting cavity corresponding to the abutment rib. For example, the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib can provide vertical limiting. The first limiting step formed by the first limiting rib and the mounting part, and the second limiting step formed by the second limiting rib and the mounting part can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly. The first bending groove formed by the first bending end of the first limiting rib and the second bending groove formed by the second bending end of the second limiting rib can restrict the backward movement of the power cord assembly. The abutment rib and the cover at the assembly opening can achieve left and right limiting. In other words, the limiting part and the cover can achieve all-round limiting of the power cord assembly. When subjected to external force in any direction, the limiting part and the cover can ensure that the power cord assembly does not come out of the limiting cavity, and the positional stability is good.

[0030] In one possible design, the housing component further includes a seal located at the outlet hole, which is used to seal the gap between the power cord assembly and the wall of the outlet hole.

[0031] In this design, the housing component also includes a seal, which is located at the outlet hole. When the power cord assembly extends through the outlet hole, the seal can be fitted onto the outer wall of the power cord assembly, and thus clamped between the power cord assembly and the wall of the outlet hole.

[0032] In one possible design, the receiving element further includes an end plate, a surrounding plate, and a partition plate, with the surrounding plate connected to the end plate. The receiving cavity and mounting opening are located between the end plate and the surrounding plate. The partition plate is located within the receiving cavity, and a portion of the mounting element overlaps the partition plate.

[0033] In this design, the receiving component includes an end plate, a surrounding plate, and a partition plate. The end plate is a top plate, and the surrounding plate is connected to the end plate, enclosing the outer edge of the end plate. The mounting opening is located at the connection between the surrounding plate and the end plate. Specifically, the surrounding plate includes a side plate and a rear plate, which are connected to the end plate, with a mounting opening at their connection. Each of the rear plate, side plate, and end plate has adjacent mounting sidewalls, which together form the mounting opening. Specifically, the mounting sidewalls are zigzag sidewalls, thus forming an irregularly shaped mounting opening. The mounting portion of the mounting component is located at the mounting opening and is connected to the rear plate, side plate, and end plate, respectively. A limiting portion is connected to the mounting portion and extends into the receiving cavity.

[0034] Furthermore, the receiving component also includes a partition located within the receiving cavity. The partition can be connected to the side plate to achieve positional stability. The partition is located below the limiting part, and a portion of the limiting part can overlap the upper surface of the partition. In other words, the fixed position of the limiting part not only depends on its connection with the mounting part but also on the support provided by the partition, which offers more reliable support for the limiting part.

[0035] In one possible design, the housing further includes a cable tray disposed on the partition, the cable tray being used to accommodate a portion of the power cord assembly.

[0036] In this design, the cable tray is located on the partition, corresponding to the second cable passage. From bottom to top, the power cord assembly is located in the cable tray, the second cable passage, the limiting cavity, the first cable passage, and the cable outlet. The cable tray can accommodate the power cord assembly located inside the receiving cavity, and has a cable bundling function to prevent the cable bundle from being arranged messily inside the receiving cavity, avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0037] In one possible design, the mounting portion further includes a guide surface away from the limiting portion, the guide surface including at least one arcuate surface, and the center of the circle containing any one of the arcuate surfaces is located outside the receiving cavity.

[0038] In this design, the mounting section includes a guide surface facing away from the limiting section; that is, the outer surface of the mounting section is the guide surface, which guides the liquid to flow downwards. The guide surface has a curved structure, which accelerates the downward flow of the liquid. Specifically, the guide surface is recessed towards the interior of the receiving cavity. The guide surface includes multiple arc-shaped surfaces, with the center of any arc-shaped surface located outside the receiving cavity, meaning the guide surface is concave. While guiding the liquid in this concave shape, the guide surface also creates a clearance space between itself and the wall surface to be installed. This clearance space can accommodate a portion of the power cord assembly, eliminating the need for a pre-existing gap between the appliance containing the assembly and the wall surface, thus saving space and improving the compactness of the spatial layout.

[0039] Specifically, the guide surface can be composed of a single arc surface or multiple arc surfaces with different curvatures joined together.

[0040] In one possible design, the mounting element and the receiving element are further detachably connected.

[0041] In this design, the mounting component and the receiving component can be separated, meaning they can be manufactured separately, reducing processing difficulty. Furthermore, if one of the mounting component or the receiving component is damaged, the other can still be used normally, reducing product maintenance costs.

[0042] In one possible design, the mounting components are further integrated into a single structure.

[0043] In this design, the mounting section and the limiting section are integrated into a single structure. Because of the superior mechanical properties of this integrated structure, the connection strength between the mounting section and the limiting section is improved. Furthermore, the mounting section and the limiting section can be manufactured as a single unit for mass production, thereby increasing processing efficiency and reducing processing costs. Moreover, by designing the mounting section and the limiting section as a single molded structure, the overall integrity of the housing component is improved, the number of parts is reduced, installation steps are decreased, installation efficiency is increased, and the installation between the mounting component and the housing component is made more convenient and reliable.

[0044] In one possible design, the mounting component may be made of plastic or metal.

[0045] In this design, plastic parts have the advantages of low cost and ease of fabrication. Alternatively, the mounting parts can be metal parts, which have advantages such as good structural strength, excellent high-temperature resistance, good structural stability, long service life, and are not prone to aging.

[0046] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a household appliance is provided, comprising a housing component and a power cord assembly provided by any of the above designs, wherein a portion of the power cord assembly is disposed on a limiting portion of the housing component.

[0047] The household appliance provided by the present invention includes the housing component provided by any of the above designs, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the housing component, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] Furthermore, after a portion of the power cord assembly contacts the limiting part, it extends out through the outlet hole, thereby achieving electrical connection with the socket.

[0049] Home appliances that can be imagined include refrigerators, microwave ovens, ovens, rice cookers, slow cookers, electric griddles, and steam air fryers.

[0050] In one possible design, the appliance further includes a microwave cooking appliance comprising a microwave generating assembly disposed within a receiving cavity, the microwave generating assembly being electrically connected to a power cord assembly. The microwave cooking appliance also includes a cooking drawer movably disposed within the receiving cavity.

[0051] In this design, the home appliance includes a microwave cooking appliance, specifically a microwave oven or microwave-oven combo. The microwave cooking appliance includes an opening that communicates with a receiving cavity. The mounting port is located on the rear side of the microwave cooking appliance, while the opening is on the front. A microwave generating component is housed within the receiving cavity and is electrically connected to a power cord assembly, which provides external power for the microwave generating component to operate normally. A cooking drawer is movably mounted within the receiving cavity through the opening. When the cooking drawer extends into the receiving cavity, it forms a closed cooking space with the other internal panels. The cooking drawer can be pulled out of the receiving cavity for convenient food retrieval.

[0069] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0070] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0071] The following reference Figures 1 to 6 The present invention describes a housing component and a household appliance 2 provided according to some embodiments thereof.

[0072] According to a first aspect of the invention, a receiving component is provided, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the receiving assembly is used in a home appliance 2, which includes a power cord assembly 21. The receiving assembly includes a receiving member 10 and a mounting member 11. The receiving member 10 has a mounting opening. The mounting member 11 is connected to the receiving member 10. The mounting member 11 includes a mounting portion 111 and a limiting portion 113. The mounting portion 111 is located at the mounting opening, and a receiving cavity 105 communicating with the mounting opening is provided between the mounting portion 111 and the receiving member 10. The limiting portion 113 is connected to the mounting portion 111 and is located within the receiving cavity 105. The limiting portion 113 is used to restrict the movement of the power cord assembly 21 relative to the receiving member 10.

[0073] The accommodating component provided by this invention is used in a household appliance 2, which includes a power cord assembly 21. The accommodating component is used to house the power cord assembly 21. The accommodating component includes a accommodating member 10 and a mounting member 11. The accommodating member 10 has a mounting opening, and the mounting member 11 is disposed on the accommodating member 10. The mounting member 111 includes a mounting portion 111 and a limiting portion 113. The mounting portion 111 is located at the mounting opening and is connected to the accommodating member 10. The mounting portion 111 and the accommodating member 10 form an accommodating cavity 105, which communicates with the mounting opening. Specifically, the mounting portion 111 is connected to the inner edge of the mounting opening. The mounting portion 111 can seal the mounting opening, preventing liquid from entering the accommodating cavity 105 through the mounting opening. The liquid flows downwards guided by the mounting portion 111. It should be noted that the interior of the accommodating cavity 105 is referred to as the "inner" cavity, and the exterior of the accommodating cavity 105 is referred to as the "outer" cavity.

[0074] Furthermore, the limiting part 113 is connected to the mounting part 111. The limiting part 113 is located inside the receiving cavity 105. Specifically, the limiting part 113 is connected to the inner wall surface of the mounting part 111. The limiting part 113 can contact the power cord assembly 21 and restrict the movement of the power cord assembly 21 relative to the receiving member 10. When an external force is applied to the power cord assembly 21, the power cord assembly 21 is connected to the limiting part 113. The force-bearing position of the mounting member 11 is not only at the connection between the mounting part 111 and the power cord assembly 21, but also at the connection between the limiting part 113 and the power cord assembly 21. This strengthens the fixing force between the power cord assembly 21 and the mounting member 11, making the positional stability of the power cord assembly 21 better and the structural stability of the mounting member 11 better. It will not detach from the receiving member 10 due to tensile force, ensuring reliable connection performance between the power cord assembly 21, the mounting member 11, and the receiving member 10.

[0075] Furthermore, the limiting part 113 and the mounting part 111 are an integral structure. Because of the superior mechanical properties of an integral structure, the connection strength between the limiting part 113 and the mounting part 111 is improved. Additionally, the limiting part 113 and the mounting part 111 can be manufactured as a single piece for mass production, thereby improving processing efficiency and reducing processing costs. Moreover, by designing the limiting part 113 and the mounting part 111 as an integrally formed structure, the overall integrity of the housing component is improved, the number of parts is reduced, installation steps are reduced, and installation efficiency is improved, making the installation of the mounting part 11 within the housing 10 more convenient and reliable. At the same time, the limiting part 113 is located inside the housing cavity 105, which does not alter the overall appearance integrity of the housing component, enhancing its aesthetics and further ensuring the market competitiveness of the home appliance 2 equipped with this housing component.

[0076] It should be noted that when the housing component is applied to the home appliance 2, the housing component can form part of the outer contour of the home appliance 2.

[0077] Furthermore, the mounting part 11 can be a plastic part or a metal part. The mounting part 111 and the limiting part 113 can be prepared by injection molding. The mounting part 111 and the limiting part 113 can be prepared by stamping.

[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting part 111 is provided with a cable outlet hole 112, and the limiting part 113 has a limiting cavity 114. The cable outlet hole 112 communicates with the receiving cavity 105 through the limiting cavity 114. The cable outlet hole 112 and the limiting cavity 114 are used to receive a part of the power cord assembly 21.

[0079] In this embodiment, the mounting part 111 is provided with a cable outlet hole 112, and the limiting part 113 forms a limiting cavity 114. The inner side of the cable outlet hole 112 is connected to one end of the limiting cavity 114, and the outer side of the cable outlet hole 112 is connected to the external environment. The other end of the limiting cavity 114 is connected to the receiving cavity 105. That is, from the inside to the outside, the receiving cavity 105, the limiting cavity 114, and the cable outlet hole 112 are connected. One end of the power cord assembly 21 is located inside the receiving cavity 105, and the other end of the power cord assembly 21 extends into the external environment through the limiting cavity 114 and the cable outlet hole 112, thereby realizing electrical connection with the socket.

[0080] Because the limiting part 113 has a limiting cavity 114, when the power cord assembly 21 can extend into the limiting cavity 114, the power cord assembly 21 contacts the cavity wall of the limiting part 113, thus effectively ensuring the contact area between the limiting part 113 and the power cord assembly 21. When the power cord assembly 21 exposed in the receiving component is pulled, the part of the power cord assembly 21 located in the limiting cavity 114 will be squeezed against the cavity wall of the limiting part 113 and cannot be dislodged from the limiting cavity 114, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the power cord assembly 21 relative to the receiving member 10. At the same time, the limiting cavity 114 can provide multi-directional positional limitation for the power cord assembly 21, so that when the power cord assembly 21 is pulled from different directions, it can contact the limiting part 113 to achieve positional stability.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the limiting part 113 includes a first wire passage 115, a second wire passage 116, and an assembly port 117. The first wire passage 115, the second wire passage 116, and the assembly port 117 are respectively connected to the limiting cavity 114. The first wire passage 115 is located closer to the cable outlet 112 than the second wire passage 116. The assembly port 117 is located between the first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116, and a portion of the power cord assembly 21 extends into the limiting cavity 114 through the assembly port 117.

[0082] In this embodiment, the limiting part 113 includes a first wire passage 115, a second wire passage 116, and an assembly opening 117, all of which communicate with the limiting cavity 114. That is, the limiting cavity 114 has openings in three directions. The first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116 are located on the extension path of the power cord assembly 21. The first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116 are used to accommodate the power cord assembly 21; that is, when the power cord assembly 21 is assembled, a portion of the power cord assembly 21 is present in both the first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116. The first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116 are located at opposite ends of the limiting part 113, for example, the first wire passage 115 facing forward and the second wire passage 116 facing backward, or the first wire passage 115 facing forward and the second wire passage 116 facing downward, etc. The orientation of the first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116 can be adjusted according to the structural characteristics of the actual limiting cavity 114. The assembly port 117 is located between the first cable passage port 115 and the second cable passage port 116. The assembly port 117 is used for assembling the power cord assembly 21. That is, the power cord assembly 21 can be inserted into the limiting cavity 114 through the assembly port 117, thereby simplifying the assembly of the power cord assembly 21, avoiding bending of the power cord assembly 21 during the assembly process, and avoiding unnecessary wear of the power cord assembly 21 during the assembly process.

[0083] Furthermore, the receiving assembly also includes a cover, which is detachably disposed within the receiving cavity 105 and can be placed over the assembly opening 117.

[0084] In this embodiment, after the power cord assembly 21 extends into the limiting cavity 114 through the assembly port 117, the power cord assembly 21 has reached the assembly position. At this time, the cover is placed on the assembly port 117 to prevent the power cord assembly 21 from falling out of the assembly port 117, further ensuring the positional stability of the power cord assembly 21. It should be noted that the cover is detachably disposed in the receiving cavity 105. After the power cord assembly 21 is assembled, the cover is placed on the assembly port 117. When the power cord assembly 21 needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the cover can be removed from the assembly port 117, thereby allowing the power cord assembly 21 to be moved out of the limiting cavity 114 from the assembly port 117.

[0085] It is conceivable that the specific connection position of the cover can include the adjacent structure. For example, the cover can be set on the limiting part 113, or the cover can be connected to the mounting part 111, or the cover can be connected to the receiving part 10.

[0086] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a portion of the receiving part 10 covers the assembly opening 117.

[0087] In this embodiment, the sealing element can be an additional component or a portion of the receiving element 10. Since a portion of the receiving element 10 can cover the assembly opening 117, the rational utilization of the structure can be improved.

[0088] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting part 113 includes a first limiting rib 118, which is disposed on the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The first limiting rib 118 is located above the cable outlet hole 112, and a first limiting step 121 is formed between the first limiting rib 118 and the mounting part 111. The limiting cavity 114 includes the first limiting step 121, and a part of the power cord assembly 21 abuts against the first limiting step 121.

[0089] In this embodiment, the limiting part 113 includes a first limiting rib 118, which is connected to the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The first limiting rib 118 is located above the cable outlet hole 112, that is, the first limiting rib 118 is a top limiting rib, and the first limiting rib 118 can restrict the upward movement of the power cord assembly 21. At the same time, there is a first limiting step 121 between the first limiting rib 118 and the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The first limiting step 121 is bent and is part of the limiting cavity 114. A part of the power cord assembly 21 can contact the first limiting step 121, and the first limiting step 121 can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly 21. That is, the first limiting rib 118 can restrict the upward and forward movement of the power cord assembly 21.

[0090] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting part 113 also includes a second limiting rib 119, which is disposed on the inner wall of the mounting part 111 and located below the cable outlet hole 112. The assembly opening 117 is located between the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119. A second limiting step 122 is formed between the second limiting rib 119 and the mounting part 111. The limiting cavity 114 includes the second limiting step 122, and a portion of the power cord assembly 21 abuts against the second limiting step 122.

[0091] In this embodiment, the limiting part 113 further includes a second limiting rib 119, which is connected to the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The second limiting rib 119 is located below the cable outlet hole 112, i.e., the second limiting rib 119 is a bottom limiting rib, and the second limiting rib 119 can restrict the downward movement of the power cord assembly 21. At the same time, there is a second limiting step 122 between the second limiting rib 119 and the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The second limiting step 122 is bent and is part of the limiting cavity 114. A part of the power cord assembly 21 can contact the second limiting step 122, and the second limiting step 122 can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly 21. That is, the second limiting rib 119 can restrict the downward and forward movement of the power cord assembly 21.

[0092] It should be noted that four openings are formed between the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119. One pair of opposite openings is the first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116, and the other pair of opposite openings is the assembly opening 117. That is to say, the power cord assembly 21 can selectively extend into the limiting cavity 114 from either of the two assembly openings 117.

[0093] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting rib 118 includes a first connecting end and a first bent end facing away from each other. The first connecting end is disposed on the mounting portion 111, and the first bent end extends away from the mounting portion 111 and then bends. The second limiting rib 119 includes a second connecting end and a second bent end facing away from each other. The second connecting end is disposed on the mounting portion 111, and the second bent end extends away from the mounting portion 111 and then bends. The second wire passage 116 is located between the first bent end and the second bent end.

[0094] In this embodiment, both the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 have a connecting end that contacts the mounting portion 111, and a bent end opposite to the connecting end. The first connecting end and the second connecting end are respectively connected to the inner wall of the mounting portion 111. The first connecting end and the mounting portion 111 form a first limiting step 121, and the second connecting end and the mounting portion 111 form a second limiting step 122. The first bent end extends away from the mounting portion 111 and then bends to form a first bending groove. The first bending groove is used to accommodate a part of the power cord assembly 21 and can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly 21. Similarly, the second bent end extends away from the mounting portion 111 and then bends to form a second bending groove. The second bending groove is used to accommodate a part of the power cord assembly 21 and can restrict the forward / backward movement of the power cord assembly 21. Specifically, the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 are L-shaped.

[0095] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting part 113 also includes an abutment rib 120, which is connected between the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119. The abutment rib 120, the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 enclose and form a limiting cavity 114.

[0096] In this embodiment, the limiting part 113 further includes an abutment rib 120, which is connected between the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119. The abutment rib 120, the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 enclose a limiting cavity 114, and the assembly port 117 is located on the other side of the limiting cavity 114 corresponding to the abutment rib 120. For example, the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 can provide vertical limiting. The first limiting step 121 formed by the first limiting rib 118 and the mounting part 111, and the second limiting step 122 formed by the second limiting rib 119 and the mounting part 111 can restrict the power cord assembly 21 from moving forward. The first bending groove formed by the first bending end of the first limiting rib 118 and the second bending groove formed by the second bending end of the second limiting rib 119 can restrict the power cord assembly 21 from moving backward. The abutment rib 120 and the cover provided at the assembly opening 117 can achieve left and right limiting. In other words, the limiting part 113 and the cover can achieve all-round limiting of the power cord assembly 21. When pulled by external force in any direction, the limiting part 113 and the cover can ensure that the power cord assembly 21 does not come out of the limiting cavity 114, and the positional stability is good.

[0097] Furthermore, the housing assembly also includes a seal located at the outlet hole 112, which is used to seal the gap between the power cord assembly 21 and the wall of the outlet hole 112.

[0098] In this embodiment, the receiving component also includes a seal, which is disposed at the outlet hole 112. When the power cord assembly 21 extends through the outlet hole 112, the seal can be sleeved on the outer wall of the power cord assembly 21 and thus sandwiched between the power cord assembly 21 and the hole wall of the outlet hole 112.

[0099] It should be noted that the sealing element is a sealing ring, which is easy to install and inexpensive.

[0100] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the receiving member 10 includes an end plate 101, a surrounding plate 102, and a partition plate 103. The surrounding plate 102 is connected to the end plate 101. The receiving cavity 105 and the mounting port are located between the end plate 101 and the surrounding plate 102. The partition plate 103 is located inside the receiving cavity 105, and a portion of the mounting member 11 overlaps on the partition plate 103.

[0101] In this embodiment, the receiving member 10 includes an end plate 101, a surrounding plate 102, and a partition plate 103. The end plate 101 is a top plate 101, and the surrounding plate 102 is connected to the end plate 101, surrounding the outer edge of the end plate 101. The mounting opening is located at the connection between the surrounding plate 102 and the end plate 101. Specifically, the surrounding plate 102 includes a side plate and a rear plate, which are connected to the end plate 101, and the connection between them is provided with a mounting opening. Each of the rear plate, side plate, and end plate 101 has a mounting sidewall that is close to each other, and the three mounting sidewalls enclose each other to form a mounting opening. Specifically, the mounting sidewall is a tortuous sidewall, which can form an irregularly shaped mounting opening. The mounting part 111 in the mounting member 11 is located at the mounting opening and is connected to the rear plate, side plate, and end plate 101 respectively. The limiting part 113 is connected to the mounting part 111 and extends into the receiving cavity 105.

[0102] It is worth noting that the side plate can be sealed at the assembly opening 117 of the limiting part 113 to prevent the power cord assembly 21 from coming out of the limiting cavity 114. One function of the side plate is to enclose and form the receiving cavity 105, and at the same time, it can be used to install the mounting part 111. Another function is to seal the assembly opening 117, thereby improving the structural compactness.

[0103] Furthermore, the receiving member 10 also includes a partition 103, which is located within the receiving cavity 105. The partition 103 can be connected to the side plate to achieve positional stability. The partition 103 is located below the limiting part 113, and a portion of the limiting part 113 can overlap the upper surface of the partition 103. That is to say, the fixed position of the limiting part 113 not only depends on its connection with the mounting part 111, but also on the support provided by the partition 103. The partition 103 can provide more reliable support for the limiting part 113.

[0104] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 includes a wire channel 104 disposed on the partition 103, and the wire channel 104 is used to accommodate a portion of the power cord assembly 21.

[0105] In this embodiment, a wire trough 104 is disposed on the partition 103, and the wire trough 104 is disposed corresponding to the second wire passage 116. From bottom to top, the power cord assembly 21 is located in the wire trough 104, the second wire passage 116, the limiting cavity 114, the first wire passage 115, and the outlet hole 112, respectively. The wire trough 104 can accommodate the power cord assembly 21 located inside the receiving cavity 105, and has a wire bundling function to prevent the wire bundle from being arranged messily in the receiving cavity 105 and avoid potential safety hazards.

[0106] Specifically, the cable tray 104 is a U-shaped tray, which facilitates the assembly of the power cord.

[0107] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting part 111 includes a guide surface that is away from the limiting part 113. The guide surface includes at least one arcuate surface, and the center of the circle containing any one of the arcuate surfaces is located outside the receiving cavity 105.

[0108] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 111 includes a guide surface that faces away from the limiting portion 113, meaning the outer surface of the mounting portion 111 is the guide surface, which guides the liquid to flow downwards. The guide surface has a curved structure, which can accelerate the downward flow of the liquid. Specifically, the guide surface is recessed towards the interior of the receiving cavity 105. The guide surface includes multiple arc-shaped surfaces, and the center of the circle containing any arc-shaped surface is located outside the receiving cavity 105, meaning the guide surface is concave. While guiding the liquid in this concave shape, the guide surface can also form a clearance space 110 between itself and the wall to be installed. The clearance space 110 can accommodate a portion of the power cord assembly 21, eliminating the need for a pre-reserved gap between the appliance 2 containing the assembly and the wall to be installed, thus saving space and improving the compactness of the spatial layout.

[0109] Specifically, the guide surface can be composed of a single arc surface or multiple arc surfaces with different curvatures joined together.

[0110] Furthermore, the mounting component 11 is detachably connected to the receiving component 10.

[0111] In this embodiment, the mounting component 11 and the receiving component 10 are separable, meaning that the mounting component 11 and the receiving component 10 can be manufactured separately, reducing manufacturing difficulty. Furthermore, if one of the mounting component 11 or the receiving component 10 is damaged, the other can still be used normally, reducing product maintenance costs.

[0112] Furthermore, the mounting component 11 is a one-piece structure.

[0113] In this embodiment, the mounting part 111 and the limiting part 113 are an integral structure. Because the integral structure has good mechanical properties, the connection strength between the mounting part 111 and the limiting part 113 can be improved. Furthermore, the mounting part 111 and the limiting part 113 can be integrally manufactured for mass production, thereby improving product processing efficiency and reducing product processing costs. Moreover, by designing the mounting part 111 and the limiting part 113 as an integrally formed structure, the overall integrity of the accommodating component is improved, the number of parts is reduced, the installation steps are reduced, and the installation efficiency is improved, making the installation between the mounting part 11 and the accommodating part 10 more convenient and reliable.

[0114] Furthermore, the mounting component 11 can be made of plastic or metal.

[0115] In this embodiment, the plastic part has the advantages of low cost and ease of fabrication. Alternatively, the mounting part 11 can be a metal part, which has advantages such as good structural strength, excellent high temperature resistance, good structural stability, long service life, and is not prone to aging.

[0116] According to a second aspect of the invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a household appliance 2 is provided, including a housing component and a power cord assembly 21 provided by any of the above designs, with a portion of the power cord assembly 21 disposed on the limiting portion 113 of the housing component.

[0117] The household appliance 2 provided by the present invention includes the housing component provided by any of the above designs, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the housing component, which will not be repeated here.

[0118] Furthermore, after a portion of the power cord assembly 21 contacts the limiting part 113, it extends out through the outlet hole 112, thereby achieving electrical connection with the socket.

[0119] As one can imagine, home appliances 2 include refrigerators, microwave ovens, ovens, rice cookers, slow cookers, electric griddles, and steam air fryers.

[0120] Furthermore, the appliance 2 includes a microwave cooking appliance, which includes a microwave generating component disposed within the receiving cavity 105, and the microwave generating component is electrically connected to the power cord assembly 21. The microwave cooking appliance also includes a cooking drawer 22, which is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 105.

[0121] In this embodiment, the home appliance 2 includes a microwave cooking appliance, specifically a microwave oven and a microwave oven combo. The microwave cooking appliance includes an opening that communicates with the receiving cavity 105. The mounting port is located on the rear side of the microwave cooking appliance, while the opening is located on the front side. A microwave generating component is housed within the receiving cavity 105. This component is electrically connected to a power cord assembly 21, which provides external power to enable the microwave generating component to operate normally. A cooking drawer 22 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 105 through the opening. When the cooking drawer 22 extends into the receiving cavity 105, it forms a closed cooking space with the other internal panels. The cooking drawer 22 is pull-out within the receiving cavity 105 for convenient food retrieval by the user.

[0122] Furthermore, the outer panel of the cooking drawer 22 is provided with a viewing window, through which the food being cooked inside the cooking drawer 22 can be seen. The outer panel of the cooking drawer 22 is also provided with a handle, designed for easy opening and closing of the cooking drawer 22 by the user.

[0123] Furthermore, the microwave cooking appliance also includes a control panel 23, which is located on the housing and / or the receiving part. The control panel 23 is electrically connected to the microwave generating component, and the user can operate the microwave cooking appliance through the control panel 23. Specifically, the control panel 23 includes a user interface for selecting cooking functions. The user can also perform other operations on the microwave cooking appliance through the control panel 23, such as automatically opening and closing the cooking drawer 22.

[0124] It should be noted that the power cord assembly 21 includes a power cord, a plug fixing part, and pins. A portion of the power cord extends from the receiving cavity 105 through the outlet hole 112 to the outside of the mounting part 111. The power cord includes conductors and an insulating layer wrapped around the conductors. The plug fixing part is connected to the power cord, a portion of the pins passes through the plug fixing part and is electrically connected to the power cord, and another portion of the pins protrudes from the plug fixing part for insertion into the socket. Specifically, when the protruding portion of the pins is inserted into the socket, at least a portion of the socket fixing part is accommodated within the clearance space 110 formed between the guide surface and the wall surface to be mounted.

[0125] The accommodating component provided by this invention is used in a household appliance 2, which includes a power cord assembly 21. The accommodating component is used to house the power cord assembly 21. The accommodating component includes a accommodating member 10 and a mounting member 11. The accommodating member 10 has an mounting opening, and the mounting member 11 is disposed on the accommodating member 10. The mounting member 111 includes a mounting portion 111 and a limiting portion 113. The mounting portion 111 is located at the mounting opening and is connected to the accommodating member 10. The mounting portion 111 and the accommodating member 10 form an accommodating cavity 105, which communicates with the mounting opening. Specifically, the mounting portion 111 is connected to the inner edge of the mounting opening. The mounting portion 111 can seal the mounting opening, preventing liquid from entering the accommodating cavity 105 through the mounting opening. The liquid flows downwards guided by the mounting portion 111. Further, the limiting portion 113 is connected to the mounting portion 111 and is located inside the accommodating cavity 105. Specifically, the limiting portion 113 is connected to the inner wall surface of the mounting portion 111. The limiting part 113 can contact the power cord assembly 21 and restrict the movement of the power cord assembly 21 relative to the receiving member 10. When an external force is applied to the power cord assembly 21, the power cord assembly 21 is connected to the limiting part 113. The force-bearing position of the mounting member 11 is not only at the connection between the mounting part 111 and the power cord assembly 21, but also at the connection between the limiting part 113 and the power cord assembly 21. This strengthens the fixing force between the power cord assembly 21 and the mounting member 11, making the positional stability of the power cord assembly 21 better and the structural stability of the mounting member 11 better. It will not detach from the receiving member 10 due to the pulling force, ensuring the reliable connection performance between the power cord assembly 21, the mounting member 11, and the receiving member 10.

[0126] Furthermore, the limiting part 113 and the mounting part 111 are an integral structure. Because of the superior mechanical properties of an integral structure, the connection strength between the limiting part 113 and the mounting part 111 is improved. Additionally, the limiting part 113 and the mounting part 111 can be manufactured as a single piece for mass production, thereby improving processing efficiency and reducing processing costs. Moreover, by designing the limiting part 113 and the mounting part 111 as an integrally formed structure, the overall integrity of the housing component is improved, the number of parts is reduced, installation steps are reduced, and installation efficiency is improved, making the installation of the mounting part 11 within the housing 10 more convenient and reliable. At the same time, the limiting part 113 is located inside the housing cavity 105, which does not alter the overall appearance integrity of the housing component, enhancing its aesthetics and further ensuring the market competitiveness of the home appliance 2 equipped with this housing component.

[0127] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting part 111 is provided with a cable outlet hole 112, and the limiting part 113 forms a limiting cavity 114. The inner side of the cable outlet hole 112 is connected to one end of the limiting cavity 114, and the outer side of the cable outlet hole 112 is connected to the external environment. The other end of the limiting cavity 114 is connected to the receiving cavity 105. That is to say, from the inside to the outside, the receiving cavity 105, the limiting cavity 114, and the cable outlet hole 112 are connected. One end of the power cord assembly 21 is located inside the receiving cavity 105, and the other end of the power cord assembly 21 extends into the external environment through the limiting cavity 114 and the cable outlet hole 112, thereby realizing electrical connection with the socket.

[0128] Because the limiting part 113 has a limiting cavity 114, when the power cord assembly 21 can extend into the limiting cavity 114, the power cord assembly 21 contacts the cavity wall of the limiting part 113, thus effectively ensuring the contact area between the limiting part 113 and the power cord assembly 21. When the power cord assembly 21 exposed in the receiving component is pulled, the part of the power cord assembly 21 located in the limiting cavity 114 will be squeezed against the cavity wall of the limiting part 113 and cannot be dislodged from the limiting cavity 114, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the power cord assembly 21 relative to the receiving member 10. At the same time, the limiting cavity 114 can provide multi-directional positional limitation for the power cord assembly 21, so that when the power cord assembly 21 is pulled from different directions, it can contact the limiting part 113 to achieve positional stability.

[0129] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the limiting part 113 includes a first wire passage 115, a second wire passage 116, and an assembly opening 117, all of which communicate with the limiting cavity 114. That is, the limiting cavity 114 has openings in three directions. The first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116 are located on the extension path of the power cord assembly 21. The first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116 are used to accommodate the power cord assembly 21; that is, when the power cord assembly 21 is assembled in place, a portion of the power cord assembly 21 is present in both the first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116. The first wire passage 115 and the second wire passage 116 are located at opposite ends of the limiting part 113, for example, the first wire passage 115 facing forward and the second wire passage 116 facing backward, or the first wire passage 115 facing forward and the second wire passage 116 facing downward, etc. The power cord assembly 21 can be inserted into the limiting cavity 114 through the assembly port 117, thereby simplifying the assembly of the power cord assembly 21, avoiding bending of the power cord assembly 21 during the assembly process, and avoiding unnecessary wear of the power cord assembly 21 during the assembly process.

[0130] Furthermore, after the power cord assembly 21 extends into the limiting cavity 114 through the assembly port 117, the power cord assembly 21 has reached the assembly position. At this time, the cover is placed on the assembly port 117 to prevent the power cord assembly 21 from falling out of the assembly port 117, further ensuring the positional stability of the power cord assembly 21. It should be noted that the cover is detachably disposed in the receiving cavity 105. After the power cord assembly 21 is assembled, the cover is placed on the assembly port 117. When the power cord assembly 21 needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the cover can be removed from the assembly port 117, allowing the power cord assembly 21 to be moved out of the limiting cavity 114 from the assembly port 117.

[0131] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sealing component can be an additional component or a part of the receiving component 10. Since a part of the receiving component 10 can cover the assembly opening 117, it can improve the rational utilization of the structure.

[0132] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the limiting part 113 includes a first limiting rib 118, which is connected to the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The first limiting rib 118 is located above the cable outlet hole 112, that is, the first limiting rib 118 is a top limiting rib, and the first limiting rib 118 can restrict the upward movement of the power cord assembly 21. At the same time, there is a first limiting step 121 between the first limiting rib 118 and the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The first limiting step 121 is bent and is part of the limiting cavity 114. A part of the power cord assembly 21 can contact the first limiting step 121, and the first limiting step 121 can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly 21. That is, the first limiting rib 118 can restrict the upward and forward movement of the power cord assembly 21.

[0133] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting part 113 also includes a second limiting rib 119, which is connected to the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The second limiting rib 119 is located below the cable outlet hole 112, that is, the second limiting rib 119 is a bottom limiting rib, and the second limiting rib 119 can restrict the downward movement of the power cord assembly 21. At the same time, there is a second limiting step 122 between the second limiting rib 119 and the inner wall of the mounting part 111. The second limiting step 122 is bent and is part of the limiting cavity 114. A part of the power cord assembly 21 can contact the second limiting step 122, and the second limiting step 122 can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly 21. That is, the second limiting rib 119 can restrict the downward and forward movement of the power cord assembly 21.

[0134] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 have a connecting end that contacts the mounting portion 111, and a bent end opposite to the connecting end. The first connecting end and the second connecting end are respectively connected to the inner wall of the mounting portion 111. The first connecting end and the mounting portion 111 form a first limiting step 121, and the second connecting end and the mounting portion 111 form a second limiting step 122. The first bent end extends away from the mounting portion 111 and then bends to form a first bending groove. The first bending groove is used to accommodate a part of the power cord assembly 21 and can restrict the forward movement of the power cord assembly 21. Similarly, the second bent end extends away from the mounting portion 111 and then bends to form a second bending groove. The second bending groove is used to accommodate a part of the power cord assembly 21 and can restrict the forward / backward movement of the power cord assembly 21. Specifically, the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 are L-shaped.

[0135] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting part 113 also includes an abutment rib 120, which is connected between the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119. The abutment rib 120, the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 enclose a limiting cavity 114, and the assembly port 117 is located on the other side of the limiting cavity 114 corresponding to the abutment rib 120. For example, the first limiting rib 118 and the second limiting rib 119 can provide vertical limiting. The first limiting step 121 formed by the first limiting rib 118 and the mounting part 111, and the second limiting step 122 formed by the second limiting rib 119 and the mounting part 111 can restrict the power cord assembly 21 from moving forward. The first bending groove formed by the first bending end of the first limiting rib 118 and the second bending groove formed by the second bending end of the second limiting rib 119 can restrict the power cord assembly 21 from moving backward. The abutment rib 120 and the cover provided at the assembly opening 117 can achieve left and right limiting. In other words, the limiting part 113 and the cover can achieve all-round limiting of the power cord assembly 21. When pulled by external force in any direction, the limiting part 113 and the cover can ensure that the power cord assembly 21 does not come out of the limiting cavity 114, and the positional stability is good.

[0136] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the receiving member 10 includes an end plate 101, a surrounding plate 102, and a partition plate 103. The end plate 101 is a top plate 101, and the surrounding plate 102 is connected to the end plate 101, surrounding the outer edge of the end plate 101. The mounting opening is located at the connection between the surrounding plate 102 and the end plate 101. Specifically, the surrounding plate 102 includes a side plate and a rear plate, which are connected to the end plate 101 respectively, and the connection between the three is provided with a mounting opening. Each of the rear plate, side plate, and end plate 101 has a mounting sidewall that is close to each other, and the three mounting sidewalls enclose each other to form a mounting opening. Specifically, the mounting sidewall is a curved sidewall, which can form an irregularly shaped mounting opening. The mounting part 111 in the mounting member 11 is located at the mounting opening, and the mounting part 111 is connected to the rear plate, side plate, and end plate 101 respectively. The limiting part 113 is connected to the mounting part 111 and extends into the receiving cavity 105.

[0137] Furthermore, the receiving member 10 also includes a partition 103, which is located within the receiving cavity 105. The partition 103 can be connected to the side plate to achieve positional stability. The partition 103 is located below the limiting part 113, and a portion of the limiting part 113 can overlap the upper surface of the partition 103. That is to say, the fixed position of the limiting part 113 not only depends on its connection with the mounting part 111, but also on the support provided by the partition 103. The partition 103 can provide more reliable support for the limiting part 113.

[0138] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cable tray 104 is disposed on the partition 103, and the cable tray 104 is disposed corresponding to the second cable passage 116. From bottom to top, the power cord assembly 21 is located in the cable tray 104, the second cable passage 116, the limiting cavity 114, the first cable passage 115, and the cable outlet 112, respectively. The cable tray 104 can accommodate the power cord assembly 21 located inside the receiving cavity 105, and has a cable bundling function to prevent the cable bundle from being arranged messily in the receiving cavity 105 and avoid potential safety hazards.

[0139] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting portion 111 includes a guide surface that faces away from the limiting portion 113, meaning the outer surface of the mounting portion 111 is the guide surface, which guides the liquid to flow downwards. The guide surface has a curved structure, which can accelerate the downward flow of the liquid. Specifically, the guide surface is recessed towards the interior of the receiving cavity 105. The guide surface includes multiple arc-shaped surfaces, and the center of the circle containing any arc-shaped surface is located outside the receiving cavity 105, meaning the guide surface is concave. While guiding the liquid in this concave manner, the guide surface can also form a clearance space 110 with the wall surface to be installed. The clearance space 110 can accommodate a part of the power cord assembly 21, eliminating the need for a pre-reserved gap between the appliance 2 containing the assembly and the wall surface to be installed, thus saving space and improving the compactness of the spatial layout.
