Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical box technology, and more specifically, to an electrical box device and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the internal electrical components of air conditioners' electrical boxes generate a lot of heat, and refrigerant is typically used to dissipate heat from the electrical box. This cooling method requires the refrigerant piping to be fixed to the back of the electrical box, making disassembly extremely difficult once the piping is welded. Furthermore, traditional pull-out electrical box structures that don't require removing the panel cannot be used due to this limitation, making maintenance relatively difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an electrical box device and an air conditioner to solve the problem of difficult maintenance of electrical boxes in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, an electrical box device is provided, comprising a housing, an electrical box body, a first connecting assembly, and a heat dissipation mechanism for dissipating heat from the electrical box body.

[0009] Furthermore, the working position and the first maintenance position are arranged sequentially along the first preset direction. A slide is provided on the main body, and the slide is inclined relative to the first preset direction. The second end of the slide is located on the side away from the second connector at its first end.

When the first connector moves to the second end of the slide, the first connector is in the second position. The first connector includes a locking ring with a notch, and the second connector includes a connecting post. The connecting post is locked in the locking ring through the notch. The connecting post extends in a direction perpendicular to the first preset direction so that the locking ring surrounds the connecting post when the connecting post is locked in the locking ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the second connecting component also includes a reset button, which is pressable on the main body and connected to the first connecting member, so that when the reset button is pressed, the first connecting member is switched from the second position to the first position; wherein, the reset button is located on the side of the slide near the mounting port, so that when the electrical box body is switched between the working position and the first maintenance position, the connecting post is pressed and passes through the reset button.

[0012] Furthermore, the second connecting part includes a connecting post, and the third connecting member has a slot, wherein the connecting post is snapped into place within the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, when the electrical box body is in the working position, part of the outer wall of the electrical box body closes the mounting opening and is flush with the outer wall of the housing that has the mounting opening; and / or, the electrical box body has a mounting space for accommodating electrical control components and an opening communicating with the mounting space, the electrical box body has a second maintenance position, and the electrical box body rotates between the first maintenance position and the second maintenance position to adjust the orientation of the opening.

[0014] Furthermore, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a liquid reservoir for containing condensate from the air conditioner; when the electrical box body is in the working position, the liquid reservoir is in contact with the electrical box body.

[0015] Furthermore, the heat dissipation mechanism also includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, both of which are connected to the liquid storage tank.

[0040] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0041] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0042] This invention provides an electrical box device, please refer to... Figures 1 to 18 The device includes a housing 10, an electrical box body 20, a first connecting assembly 30, and a heat dissipation mechanism 40 for dissipating heat from the electrical box body 20. The housing 10 has a mounting port 11. The heat dissipation mechanism 40 is connected to the housing 10 and disposed within the housing 10. The electrical box body 20 is positionally adjustable to have a working position inside the housing 10 and a first maintenance position outside the housing 10. The electrical box body 20 is movably connected to the heat dissipation mechanism 40 via the first connecting assembly 30, so that the electrical box body 20 can switch between the working position and the first maintenance position through the mounting port 11.

[0043] The electrical box device of the present invention includes a housing 10, an electrical box body 20, a first connecting component 30, and a heat dissipation mechanism 40. The housing 10 has a mounting port 11. The heat dissipation mechanism 40 is connected to the housing 10 and disposed inside the housing 10. When the electrical box body 20 needs to be repaired, the electrical box body 20 moves relative to the heat dissipation mechanism 40 under the action of the first connecting component 30. The electrical box body 20 moves from inside the housing 10 to outside the housing 10 through the mounting port 11, that is, the electrical box body 20 switches from the working position to the first maintenance position, which facilitates maintenance personnel to perform maintenance on the electrical box body 20 without disassembling the electrical box device. After the maintenance is completed, the electrical box body 20 is pushed from outside the housing 10 into the housing 10 through the mounting port 11, and the electrical box body 20 switches from the first maintenance position to the working position, thereby solving the problem of difficult electrical box maintenance in the prior art.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the electrical box body 20 is in the first maintenance position, the electrical box body 20 is separated from the heat dissipation mechanism 40 and rotatably connected to the housing 10, so that the electrical box body 20 is rotatably disposed on the outside of the housing 10.

[0045] Specifically, when the electrical box body 20 is in the first maintenance position, the electrical box body 20 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the housing 10, which makes it convenient for maintenance personnel to flexibly adjust the orientation of the internal electrical control components of the electrical box body 20 according to maintenance needs, thus facilitating the maintenance of the electrical box body 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first connecting component 30 includes a slide groove 31 and a slide rail 32. The slide groove 31 is disposed on the electrical box body 20, and the slide rail 32 is disposed on the heat dissipation mechanism 40 and extends along a first preset direction. The working position and the first maintenance position are arranged sequentially along the first preset direction. The slide rail 32 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 31 so that the electrical box body 20 can switch between the working position and the first maintenance position.

[0047] Specifically, the slide rail 32 and the slide groove 31 cooperate to achieve the movable connection between the electrical box body 20 and the heat dissipation mechanism 40. At the same time, the slide rail 32 restricts the movement direction of the electrical box body 20, preventing the electrical box body 20 from deviating from the working position and the first maintenance position. When the electrical box body 20 needs maintenance, push the electrical box body 20, and the electrical box body 20 slides along the slide rail 32 until the electrical box body 20 separates from the slide rail 32. At this time, the electrical box body 20 separates from the heat dissipation mechanism 40, and the electrical box body 20 switches from the working position to the first maintenance position.

[0048] In this embodiment, the electrical box device further includes: a second connecting component 50 disposed within the housing 10, the second connecting component 50 including a first connecting member 51; and a second connecting member 60 connected to the electrical box body 20; wherein, when the electrical box body 20 is in the working position, the second connecting member 60 is connected to the first connecting member 51.

[0049] Specifically, when the electrical box body 20 is in the working position, it is connected to the first connecting member 51 through the second connecting member 60, thus realizing the fixed connection between the electrical box body 20 and the heat dissipation mechanism 40; when the electrical box body 20 is switched from the working position to the first maintenance position, the second connecting member 60 and the first connecting member 51 gradually separate during the movement of the electrical box body 20, so as to avoid the first connecting member 51 from obstructing the position switching of the electrical box body 20.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second connecting assembly 50 further includes a main body 58, and the first connecting member 51 is movably disposed on the main body 58 so that the first connecting member 51 can switch between a first position and a second position. When the electrical box body 20 is in the working position, the second connecting member 60 is connected to the first connecting member 51 in the first position. The electrical box device further includes an elastic member 70 disposed in the housing 10, the first end of the elastic member 70 is connected to the housing 10, and the second end of the elastic member 70 is used to abut against the electrical box body 20. When the electrical box body 20 is pushed from the working position toward a direction away from the first maintenance position, the electrical box body 20 drives the first connecting member 51 to move from the first position toward the second position and compresses the elastic member 70 so that when the first connecting member 51 moves between the first position and the second position, the second connecting member 60 is separated from the first connecting member 51 so that the first connecting member 51 moves to the second position under inertia, and the electrical box body 20 moves toward the first maintenance position under the elastic action of the elastic member 70.

[0051] In practice, when the electrical box body 20 is in the working position, the first connecting member 51 is in the first position, and the second connecting member 60 is connected to the first connecting member 51. When the electrical box body 20 is pushed from the working position toward a direction away from the first maintenance position, the electrical box body 20 drives the second connecting member 60 to move, and the second connecting member 60 drives the first connecting member 51 to move from the first position toward the second position. The electrical box body 20 presses against the elastic member 70, and the elastic member 70 is compressed and filled with elastic force. When the first connecting member 51 moves between the first position and the second position, the second connecting member 60 separates from the first connecting member 51. Then, the first connecting member 51 moves to the second position under the action of inertia. At this time, the elastic member 70 resets, and the electrical box body 20 moves toward the first maintenance position under the elastic action of the elastic member 70, realizing the automatic pop-out of the electrical box body 20 without the need for maintenance personnel to manually pull it out, further improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0052] Optionally, the elastic element 70 is a spring.

[0053] In this embodiment, the working position and the first maintenance position are arranged sequentially along the first preset direction. The main body 58 is provided with a slide 52, which is inclined relative to the first preset direction. The second end of the slide 52 is located on the side away from the first end of the second connector 60. When the first connector 51 moves to the first end of the slide 52, the first connector 51 is in the first position. When the first connector 51 moves to the second end of the slide 52, the first connector 51 is in the second position. The first connector 51 includes a locking ring 512 with a notch 511. The second connector 60 includes a connecting post 61, which is locked in the locking ring 512 through the notch 511. The connecting post 61 extends in a direction perpendicular to the first preset direction so that the locking ring 512 surrounds the connecting post 61 when the connecting post 61 is locked in the locking ring 512.

[0054] Specifically, the second preset direction is Figure 18 As shown in the horizontal rightward direction, the locking ring 512 has a first ring end and a second ring end arranged opposite to each other along its circumferential direction. The gap between the first ring end and the second ring end forms a notch 511. The gap between the first ring end and the second ring end gradually decreases along the second preset direction. The minimum gap between the first ring end and the second ring end is less than the volume of the connecting post 61. When the connecting post 61 is pushed in along the second preset direction, the locking ring 512 undergoes elastic deformation outward to allow the connecting post 61 to enter the locking ring 512. However, the connecting post 61 cannot be pulled out of the locking ring 512 from the opposite direction of the second preset direction to avoid the connecting post 61 falling out of the locking ring 512. This ensures the locking reliability of the connecting post 61 and the locking ring 512. At the same time, the locking ring 512 is arranged around the connecting post 61, which further ensures the locking reliability of the connecting post 61 and the locking ring 512.

[0055] In specific implementation, when the electrical box body 20 is in the working position, the first connecting member 51 is in the first position, located at the first end of the slide 52, and the second connecting member 60 is connected to the first connecting member 51. When the electrical box body 20 is pushed from the working position toward a direction away from the first maintenance position, the electrical box body 20 drives the second connecting member 60 to move, and the second connecting member 60 drives the first connecting member 51 to move from the first end of the slide 52 toward the second end of the slide 52. The locking ring 512 gradually moves upward in the vertical direction relative to the connecting post 61. When the first connecting member 51 moves to between the first end and the second end of the slide 52, the locking ring 512 separates from the connecting post 61, and the second connecting member 60 separates from the first connecting member 51. Then, the first connecting member 51 moves to the second end of the slide 52 under the action of inertia, at which time the first connecting member 51 is in the second position.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second connecting component 50 further includes a reset button 53. The reset button 53 is pressable on the main body 58 and connected to the first connecting member 51 so that when the reset button 53 is pressed, the first connecting member 51 is switched from the second position to the first position. The reset button 53 is located on the side of the slide 52 near the mounting port 11 so that when the electrical box body 20 is switched between the working position and the first maintenance position, the connecting post 61 is pressed and passes through the reset button 53.

[0057] Specifically, the first connector 51 moves to the second position under inertia. The first connector 51 is fixed in the second position by one-way limiting to prevent the free fall motion of the first connector 51 from interfering with the second connector 60. When the electrical box body 20 moves toward the first maintenance position under the elastic action of the elastic member 70, the first connector 51 passes by and presses the reset button 53. The reset button 53 releases the limiting of the first connector 51, and the first connector 51 slides from the second end of the slide rail 52 to the first end of the slide rail 52. The first connector 51 switches from the second position to the first position, waiting for the next engagement with the connecting post 61.

[0058] In this embodiment, the electrical box device further includes: a third connector 80 disposed on the housing 10; a second connector 60 including a first connector 62 and a second connector 63 rotatably connected to the first connector 62, the first connector 62 being fixedly connected to the electrical box body 20; the second connector 63 being selectively connected to or detached from the third connector 80, and when the electrical box body 20 is moved to the first maintenance position, the second connector 63 is connected to the third connector 80.

[0059] Specifically, when the electrical box body 20 moves to the first maintenance position, the second connecting part 63 connects with the third connecting part 80, realizing the connection between the electrical box body 20 and the housing 10, providing support for the electrical box body 20; and making the electrical box body 20 rotatably set relative to the housing 10.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second connecting part 63 includes a connecting post 61, and the third connecting member 80 has a slot, wherein the connecting post 61 is snapped into place in the slot.

[0061] Specifically, by engaging the connecting post 61 with the slot, the reliability of the connection between the second connecting part 63 and the third connecting part 80 is ensured, further preventing the electrical box body 20 from continuing to move and detach from the housing 10.

[0062] Specifically, the second connector 60 and the third connector 80 are arranged in pairs, and the electrical box device includes multiple pairs of paired second connectors 60 and third connectors 80, all of which are spaced apart in the vertical direction. This arrangement ensures the reliability of the connection between the electrical box body 20 and the housing 10.

[0063] Specifically, one of the plurality of second connectors 60 is used to connect with the first connector 51.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the electrical box body 20 is in the working position, part of the outer wall of the electrical box body 20 closes the mounting opening 11 and is flush with the outer wall of the housing 10 where the mounting opening 11 is provided; and / or, the electrical box body 20 has a mounting space for accommodating electrical control components and an opening 111 communicating with the mounting space, the electrical box body 20 has a second maintenance position, and the electrical box body 20 rotates between the first maintenance position and the second maintenance position to adjust the orientation of the opening 111.

[0065] Specifically, when the electrical box body 20 is in the working position, part of the outer wall of the electrical box body 20 closes the mounting port 11. By opening and closing the mounting port 11 through part of the outer wall of the electrical box body 20, the panel does not need to be disassembled, which is convenient for operation. After closing the mounting port 11, part of the outer wall of the electrical box body 20 is flush with the outer wall of the housing 10 where the mounting port 11 is provided, which ensures the aesthetic appearance of the electrical box device.

[0066] Specifically, the electrical box body 20 rotates between a first maintenance position and a second maintenance position, so that the opening 111 is oriented toward the maintenance personnel, making it convenient for the maintenance personnel to maintain the electrical control components inside the electrical box body 20.

[0067] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism 40 includes a liquid storage tank 41 for containing condensate from the air conditioner; when the electrical box body 20 is in the working position, the liquid storage tank 41 is in contact with the electrical box body 20.

[0068] Specifically, a water pump is used to pump the condensate collected in the air conditioner's drip tray into the liquid storage tank 41 to dissipate heat from the electrical box body 20 that is in contact with the liquid storage tank 41. The condensate is recycled to cool the electrical box body 20, thus achieving water resource reuse.

[0069] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism 40 also includes an inlet pipe 42 and an outlet pipe 43, both of which are connected to the liquid storage tank 41.

[0070] Specifically, the liquid storage tank 41 is also equipped with a temperature sensing device. When the temperature sensing device detects that the temperature of the liquid storage tank 41 is higher than the temperature threshold, the condensate in the liquid storage tank 41 is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 43. After the discharge is completed, new condensate is collected again through the liquid inlet pipe 42 to achieve cooling of the electrical box body 20.

[0071] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, including the electrical box device in the above embodiments.

[0072] The air conditioner of the present invention includes the electrical box device in the above embodiments. The electrical box device includes a housing 10, an electrical box body 20, a first connecting component 30, and a heat dissipation mechanism 40. The housing 10 has an installation port 11. The heat dissipation mechanism 40 is connected to the housing 10 and disposed inside the housing 10. When the electrical box body 20 needs to be repaired, the electrical box body 20 moves relative to the heat dissipation mechanism 40 under the action of the first connecting component 30. The electrical box body 20 moves from inside the housing 10 to outside the housing 10 through the installation port 11, that is, the electrical box body 20 switches from the working position to the first maintenance position, which facilitates the maintenance personnel to perform maintenance on the electrical box body 20 without disassembling the electrical box device. After the maintenance is completed, the electrical box body 20 is pushed from outside the housing 10 into the housing 10 through the installation port 11, and the electrical box body 20 switches from the first maintenance position to the working position, thereby solving the problem of difficult electrical box maintenance in the prior art. In practice, when the maintenance is completed, the first connecting part 62 is rotated, the electrical box body 20 is switched from the second maintenance position to the first maintenance position, and the electrical box body 20 is pushed back along the slide groove 31. The electrical box body 20 is switched from the first maintenance position to the working position. The connecting post 61 is connected to the locking ring 512. At the same time, when the electrical box body 20 is not pushed, the elastic member 70 will keep the electrical box body 20 in the working position to limit the electrical box body 20.

[0073] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0074] The electrical box device of the present invention separates the heat dissipation mechanism 40 from the electrical box body 20 by splitting the electrical box device, so that the electrical box body 20 can be removed for maintenance without disassembling the electrical box device; the electrical box body 20 is limited by the first connecting component 30, the second connecting component and the third connecting component, so that the electrical box body 20 can be automatically popped out without the need for maintenance personnel to pull it out manually; the waste condensate is recycled by the liquid storage tank 41, the liquid inlet pipe 42 and the liquid outlet pipe 43, so as to solve the problem of difficult maintenance of liquid-cooled heat dissipation electrical boxes.

[0075] The electrical box device of the present invention includes a housing 10, an electrical box body 20, a first connecting component 30, and a heat dissipation mechanism 40. The housing 10 has a mounting port 11. The heat dissipation mechanism 40 is connected to the housing 10 and disposed inside the housing 10. When the electrical box body 20 needs to be repaired, the electrical box body 20 moves relative to the heat dissipation mechanism 40 under the action of the first connecting component 30. The electrical box body 20 moves from inside the housing 10 to outside the housing 10 through the mounting port 11, that is, the electrical box body 20 switches from the working position to the first maintenance position, which facilitates maintenance personnel to perform maintenance on the electrical box body 20 without disassembling the electrical box device. After the maintenance is completed, the electrical box body 20 is pushed from outside the housing 10 into the housing 10 through the mounting port 11, and the electrical box body 20 switches from the first maintenance position to the working position, thereby solving the problem of difficult electrical box maintenance in the prior art.

[0076] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0077] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures.
