If the electrical components inside the electrical box generate a lot of heat, refrigerant pipes are usually installed on the electrical box, and refrigerant cooling is used to dissipate heat from the electrical box.
[0003] However, this cooling method requires the refrigerant piping to be fixed to the back of the electrical box. Once the piping is welded, the fixed refrigerant piping makes it very difficult to remove or disassemble the electrical box for maintenance. Furthermore, since the electrical wiring connected to the electrical box also passes through the back of the box and is fixed there, there is a risk of electric shock to workers when disassembling the box.

[0048] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9In an embodiment of the present invention, an electrical box is provided, comprising a heat dissipation module 10, a power switch 20, and an electrical control module 30. The heat dissipation module 10 has a refrigerant heat exchange pipe 11, which is used to connect to the connection pipe of the structure to be installed. The power switch 20 is disposed on the heat dissipation module 10 and connected to the structure to be installed, allowing switching between the energized and de-energized states of the structure. The electrical control module 30 is movably disposed on the heat dissipation module 10 to move to an installation position and a maintenance position; when the electrical control module 30 is in the installation position, it presses the power switch 20 to energize the structure; when the electrical control module 30 is in the maintenance position, it separates from the power switch 20 to de-energize the structure.
[0050] With this configuration, the electronic control module 30 is movably mounted on the heat dissipation module 10. When the electronic control module 30 is in the installation position, it presses against the on / off switch 20 mounted on the heat dissipation module 10, activating the circuit of the on / off switch 20 and energizing the mounting structure. When the electronic control module 30 needs to be removed for maintenance, it is pulled outward, removing the pressure on the on / off switch 20, disconnecting its internal circuit, and de-energizing the structure. This allows the electronic control module 30 to be movable, and the circuit can be cut off via the on / off switch 20 when the module is in the maintenance position. This ensures that maintenance of the electronic control module 30 can be performed without the risk of electric shock to personnel, solving the significant safety hazards associated with disassembling and assembling electrical boxes in existing technologies.
[0051] Specifically, the heat dissipation module 10 has a first mounting surface, the power switch 20 is a spring button, the power switch 20 is mounted on the first mounting surface, and at least a portion of the power switch 20 protrudes from the first mounting surface. The electronic control module 30 has a second mounting surface. When the electronic control module 30 is in the mounting position, the second mounting surface is positioned opposite to the first mounting surface, and the second mounting surface is used to press against the power switch 20; or, when the electronic control module 30 is in the mounting position, the second mounting surface is in contact with the first mounting surface and presses against the power switch 20. With this configuration, when the second mounting surface gradually approaches and adheres to the first mounting surface, the electrical control module 30 will enter the installation position. At this time, the structure to be installed will also be energized, and the circuit can be easily connected by squeezing the power switch 20. Similarly, when the electrical control module 30 moves to the maintenance position, the second mounting surface and the first mounting surface will not adhere, the power switch 20 will be released and the circuit will be disconnected. This avoids the need to disassemble the wiring to disconnect the circuit connection when maintaining the electrical box, thus better protecting the staff and solving the technical problem of significant safety hazards when disassembling and assembling the electrical box in the prior art.
[0052] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation module 10 includes a heat dissipation shell 12, and a refrigerant heat exchange pipeline 11 is disposed within the heat dissipation shell 12; the electrical control module 30 includes an electrical component 31 and a protective shell 32. The protective shell 32 has a protective cavity 321, and the electrical component 31 is installed within the protective cavity 321. The protective shell 32 is movably disposed on the heat dissipation shell 12. This arrangement effectively protects the electrical component 31 inside the protective cavity 321, preventing damage from external debris; at the same time, since the refrigerant heat exchange pipeline 11 is disposed within the heat dissipation shell 12 and is not directly connected to the electrical control module 30, the heat dissipation requirements of the electrical control module 30 can be met when it is in contact with the heat dissipation module 10, while ensuring the electrical control module 30 also has mobility.
[0053] Specifically, the heat dissipation housing 12 has an interconnected mounting cavity 121 and a mounting opening 122. The mounting cavity 121 is adapted to the shape of the protective housing 32, and the protective housing 32 is movably mounted in the mounting cavity 121. When the electronic control module 30 is in the installation position, the protective housing 32 is installed inside the mounting cavity 121. When the electronic control module 30 is in the maintenance position, at least a portion of the protective housing 32 extends out of the mounting opening 122. With this configuration, when the electronic control module 30 is in the maintenance position, the portion of the protective housing 32 extending out of the mounting opening 122 facilitates maintenance by personnel.
[0054] In this embodiment, a first guide structure 123 is provided on the inner sidewall of the heat dissipation housing 12, and a second guide structure 322 adapted to the first guide structure 123 is provided on the outer sidewall of the protective housing 32. The heat dissipation housing 12 has a first mounting surface, which is opposite to the mounting opening 122. Both the first guide structure 123 and the second guide structure 322 extend along the extension direction from the first mounting surface to the mounting opening 122. This arrangement facilitates a certain guiding effect on the movement of the electronic control module 30, and the cooperation between the first guide structure 123 and the second guide structure 322 can also provide support for the electronic control module 30 to a certain extent, preventing the electronic control module 30 from falling off and causing damage during movement.
[0055] Specifically, the heat dissipation housing 12 is provided with a first limiting structure 124, and the protective housing 32 is provided with a second limiting structure 323 adapted to the first limiting structure 124. When the electronic control module 30 is in the installation position, the first limiting structure 124 and the second limiting structure 323 are positioned opposite each other to limit and engage with each other. This arrangement, through the limiting engagement of the first limiting structure 124 and the second limiting structure 323, prevents the electronic control module 30 from shaking outwards when in the installation position, thereby preventing the electronic control module 30 from detaching or causing the circuit to disconnect when in the installation position.
[0056] In this embodiment, the protective housing 32 has a main housing 324 and a protective outer plate 325. The protective outer plate 325 is movably disposed on the main housing 324, and the main housing 324 and the protective outer plate 325 form a protective cavity 321. When the protective housing 32 is in the installation position, the protective outer plate 325 is located at the installation opening 122, or the protective outer plate 325 is disposed opposite to the installation opening 122. A first limiting structure 124 is mounted on the protective outer plate 325. With this arrangement, the protective outer plate 325 can protect the structure of the protective cavity 321, and the mounting of the first limiting structure 124 on the protective outer plate 325 can also lock the structure of the protective outer plate 325 of the electronic control module 30 while simultaneously locking the electronic control module 30 and the heat dissipation module 10.
[0057] Specifically, the first limiting structure 124 is a limiting socket, and the second limiting structure 323 is a limiting plug. The shape of the limiting socket is adapted to at least a portion of the shape of the limiting plug. The limiting plug is movably disposed in a direction approaching or away from the limiting socket, so that the limiting plug is inserted into or separated from the limiting socket. With this arrangement, by moving the limiting plug in a direction approaching or away from the limiting socket, the limiting engagement of the first limiting structure 124 and the second limiting structure 323 can be facilitated.
[0058] In this embodiment, an operating opening slot 3251 is provided on the outer wall of the protective outer plate 325. The operating opening slot 3251 extends along the moving direction of the limiting plug, and the limiting plug is movably inserted through the side wall of the operating opening slot 3251. The limiting plug includes an operating part and an insertion part connected to each other. The end of the operating part away from the insertion part is located on the side of the protective outer plate 325 away from the protective cavity 321, and the end of the insertion part away from the operating part is located on the side of the protective outer plate 325 near the protective cavity 321. The operating part is installed in the operating opening slot 3251, and the shape of the insertion part is adapted to the limiting socket. With this arrangement, the operator can control the operating part to move the insertion part, which facilitates the locking and releasing of the limiting socket and the limiting plug.
[0059] Specifically, the electronic control module 30 also includes a protective baffle 33, which is disposed on the side of the protective outer plate 325 near the protective cavity 321. Both ends of the protective baffle 33 are connected to the protective outer plate 325, and the protective outer plate 325 and the protective baffle 33 form a shielding cavity 34. The shielding cavity 34 is adapted to the shape of the insertion part so that the limiting plug can be movably disposed within the shielding cavity 34. This arrangement allows the limiting plug to be housed within the shielding cavity 34 when it is not functioning as a limiting plug, while also providing installation space for the insertion part through the design of the shielding cavity 34.
[0060] In this embodiment, a first wire connector 125 is provided on the heat dissipation housing 12, and a second wire connector adapted to the first wire connector 125 is provided on the outer wall of the protective housing 32. The second wire connector is arranged opposite to the first wire connector 125 so that the first wire connector 125 can be plugged into the second wire connector. The electrical box also includes a connecting wire and a wire storage structure 40. One end of the connecting wire passes through the protective housing 32 and connects to the second wire connector, and the other end of the connecting wire connects to the electrical component 31. The wire storage structure 40 is disposed in the protective cavity 321 and has a storage cavity 41 for storing the connecting wire. With this arrangement, the connecting wire can be stored by the wire storage structure 40, which can prevent the connecting wire from being scattered inside the electrical box and causing damage to the wiring when the electrical box is moved.
[0061] Specifically, the wire storage structure 40 includes a storage housing 42, a rotating shaft 43, a winding roller 44, and a reset member 45. The storage housing 42 forms a storage cavity 41, and has an inlet and an outlet, spaced apart. The other end of the connecting wire enters the protective cavity 321 through the inlet and exits through the outlet. The rotating shaft 43 is connected to the storage housing 42, and both are located within the storage cavity 41. The winding roller 44 has a through hole and is fitted onto the rotating shaft 43 through the through hole, allowing the winding roller 44 to rotate around the rotating shaft 43. The connecting wire is wound around the outer circumference of the winding roller 44, and the outlet is at least partially opposite to the winding roller 44. A reset member 45 is disposed between the rotating shaft 43 and the winding roller 44. Both ends of the reset member 45 are connected to the rotating shaft 43 and the winding roller 44 respectively, so as to reset the winding roller 44. With this arrangement, the connecting wires inside the wire storage structure 40 can be protected by the housing 42. Furthermore, the cooperation between the winding roller 44 and the rotating shaft 43 allows the connecting wires to be wound around the winding roller 44, thereby improving the wire storage capacity of the wire storage structure 40. The reset member 45 ensures that the connecting wires wound on the winding roller 44 can return to their initial winding state when the electronic control module 30 moves, further enhancing the protection of the connecting wires.
[0062] In this embodiment, the reset element 45 can be a spring sheet, which is readily available, and this design can reduce manufacturing costs.
[0063] Alternatively, a wire-passing hole 431 can be provided on the rotating shaft 43, communicating with the wire inlet. The wire-passing hole 431 extends along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 43, and the wire inlet communicates with the protective cavity 321 through the wire-passing hole 431. The wire storage structure 40 also includes a positioning member 46, which covers the end of the wire-passing hole 431 away from the wire inlet, so as to position the part of the connecting wire located in the wire-passing hole 431 away from the wire inlet. With this arrangement, it is convenient to introduce the connecting wire, and the positioning member 46 can form a positioning of the connecting wire inside the wire storage structure 40, which can further improve the storage effect of the connecting wire.
[0064] Alternatively, while setting the reset piece 45 as a spring sheet, a wire through hole 431 can be provided on the rotating shaft 43, and a positioning piece 46 can be provided inside the wire storage structure 40. This can further improve the protection and storage capacity of the wire storage structure 40 for the connecting wires.
[0065] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation module 10 is fixed relative to the entire unit. When electrical components require maintenance, the two limiting plugs mounted on the protective outer plate 325 are pushed to release the limiting position of the control module 30 relative to the entire unit. The operator inserts their finger into the pre-reserved operating opening slot 3251 of the limiting plug to pull out the control module 30, and the second guide structure 322 moves along the first guide structure 123. In the working state, the control module 30 is in close contact with the heat dissipation module 10, and the elastic on / off switch 20 is pressed to the bottom, powering on the unit. When the control module 30 moves outward... Figure 5 When the power switch 20 loses pressure, it pops outward synchronously, and the unit is powered off. When the protective outer plate 325 and the protective cavity 321 are closed, the protective baffle 33 welded to the protective outer plate 325 can create a separate sealed space for the limit plug, preventing dust from entering the protective cavity 321 from the outside.
[0066] Specifically, when the electrical box is in operation, the first wire connector 125 engages and locks with the second connecting wire connector. At this time, all connecting wires of the electrical control module 30 are stored in the connecting wire storage structure 40. Strong and weak current wires each use a separate wire storage structure 40 depending on the specific wiring configuration of the electrical box. The connecting wires enter the connecting wire storage structure 40 from the storage housing 42 on the right side of the wire storage structure 40 along the through hole 431 of the rotating shaft 43, extend from the winding roller 44 and wind around it. A pressure plate (corresponding to the positioning element 46) is used to fix the connecting wires, preventing displacement of the internal wiring of the electrical box as the connecting wires are pulled. When the connecting wires are pulled, the reset element 45 undergoes elastic deformation as the winding roller 44 moves. When the two connecting wire connectors are removed, the pulling force disappears, the reset element 45 returns to its original shape, and drives the connecting wires to rewind around the winding roller 44. When the electrical control module 30 moves outward as... Figure 3 As shown, the connecting wires located within the connecting wire storage structure 40 are released. Simultaneously, since the internal connecting wires of the unit are integrated into the first wire connector 125, and the connecting wires of the electrical control module 30 are integrated into the second connecting wire connector, when electrical component failures are difficult to repair, the electrical control module 30 can be directly removed, the two connecting wire connectors unlocked, and the connecting wires disconnected to replace it with a new electrical control module 30, which is very convenient.
[0067] In a second embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, including an air conditioning component 50 and an electrical box provided in the first embodiment. The air conditioning component 50 includes a main refrigerant pipeline, and the electrical box is mounted on the air conditioning component 50. The refrigerant heat exchange pipeline 11 of the electrical box is connected to the main refrigerant pipeline.
[0068] As can be seen from the above description, the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: by installing the electronic control module 30 inside the heat dissipation module 10 with heat dissipation function and making the electronic control module 30 movable relative to the heat dissipation module 10, it is easy to realize the position change of the electronic control module 30. At the same time, the on / off switch 20 is provided so that the electronic control module 30 can control the on / off switch 20 to be energized and de-energized by squeezing. When the electronic control module 30 is in the installation position and the structure to be installed is in an energized state, and the electronic control module 30 is in the maintenance position, the structure to be installed is in a de-energized state. This allows the electrical box to be maintained while the electronic control module 30 is de-energized, which is convenient for the staff to pull out the electronic control module 30. This solves the technical problem in the prior art that there are great safety hazards and inconvenience in moving the electrical box when disassembling and assembling it.

For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0073] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
[0074] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
