[0060] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention proposes a box decoration structure, including a box 10 and a decorative lamp 133, an outer surface of the box 10 is provided with a mounting sink 1334, and the mounting sink 1334 is formed with a sink opening 13341 on the outer surface of the box 10; the decorative lamp 133 includes a decorative panel 1331, a bracket 1332 and a lamp body 1333, the bracket 1332 is arranged in the mounting sink 1334 and is connected to the box 10, the lamp body 1333 is installed on the bracket 1332 and is located in the mounting sink 1334, the decorative panel 1331 is connected to the bracket 1332 and closes the sink opening 13341; wherein, the decorative panel 1331 includes a light-transmitting area 13311 and a light-shielding area 13312, and the light-transmitting area 13311 is arranged opposite to the lamp body 1333 in the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334.

[0061] It can be seen that the box decoration structure proposed by the present invention is to install the decorative lamp 133 in the installation sink 1334 of the box 10 by setting the installation sink 1334 on the outer surface of the box 10, and the decorative plate 1331 of the decorative lamp 133 is divided into a light-transmitting area 13311 with higher transparency ( Figure 10 The white circular area surrounded by the black area) and the light-shielding area 13312 with low transparency ( Figure 10 The black area in the middle allows the light from the lamp body 1333 to pass through the translucent area 13311, while the light-shielding area 13312 blocks the portion of the bracket 1332 in the depth direction of the mounting base 1334, preventing the user from observing it from the outside. This improves the simplicity and aesthetics of the decorative lamp 133. Furthermore, the decorative lamp 133 is entirely embedded within the mounting base 1334, allowing it to be protected by the housing 10, reducing its exposure to rain and dust and increasing its service life.

[0062] It can be understood that the heat pump water heater 1 of the present application can be a heat pump water heater 1 for a swimming pool, which is used to heat the water in the swimming pool by heat exchange, so as to keep the swimming pool water at a certain temperature and improve the comfort of users swimming. The heat pump water heater 1 can also be other heat pump water heaters 1. The box 10 of the heat pump water heater 1 is usually provided with a decorative lamp 133 for displaying the operation of the unit. Since the heat pump water heater 1 is usually arranged outdoors, the decorative lamp 133 needs to be protected to reduce the contact of the power supply part inside the decorative lamp 133 with rainwater, dust or moisture. Specifically, the heat pump water heater 1 has a box 10 which can be spliced by a plurality of plate members. The box 10 can be a rectangular or cylindrical structure. The box 10 forms an accommodating cavity inside to install a first heat exchanger 20, a second heat exchanger 30, a compressor 40, a fan assembly 60 and an electric control box assembly 50. The first heat exchanger 20 and the compressor 40 form a heating cycle. The fan assembly 60 dissipates heat for the heating cycle. The swimming pool water exchanges heat with the heating cycle through the second heat exchanger 30, so that the swimming pool water can be kept at a constant temperature. A line control assembly 70 is electrically connected with the electric control box assembly 50. The electric control box assembly 50 is electrically connected with the compressor 40, the fan assembly 60, the decorative lamp 133 and various sensors. The user can obtain the operation of the heat pump water heater 1 through the decorative lamp 133.

[0063] Exemplarily, the mounting sink 1334 can be a recessed space punched out of a plate surface of the cabinet 10, or can be an opening formed on the cabinet 10, and a flange is formed on a peripheral side of the opening, and the flange is punched out of a side wall and a bottom wall of the mounting sink 1334 to form an open mounting sink 1334, so as to facilitate installation from both axial sides of the mounting sink 1334, and has a ventilation and heat dissipation function. The outer shape of the support 1332 is matched with the mounting sink 1334, and the outer contour is matched, so that after the support 1332 is installed in the mounting sink 1334, the overall appearance is simple and beautiful. The decorative lamp 133 includes a decorative plate 1331 in a plate type structure, and a support 1332 for fixing a lamp body 1333, and structures such as a clamping groove and a positioning column can be arranged on the support 1332 to fix the lamp body 1333. The decorative lamp 133 can be connected with the cabinet 10 by the decorative plate 1331 to be fixed on the cabinet 10. For example, the decorative plate 1331 is clamped in the sink opening 13341, or the edge of the decorative plate 1331 is bonded on the cabinet 10. The decorative lamp 133 can also be fixed on the cabinet 10 by the support 1332. For example, the structure for connecting the support 1332 with the mounting sink 1334 can be a cooperating hook, a bolt or a protrusion arranged on the support 1332, and the structure for connecting the support 1332 with the mounting sink 1334 can be a clamping hook, a bolt hole or a recess arranged in the mounting sink. That is, the support 1332 and the mounting sink 1334 can be connected by clamping, bolt connection or limiting fit. In order to expose the connecting part of the support 1332 and the mounting sink 1334, the light-transmitting area 13311 opposite to the lamp body 1333 of the decorative plate 1331 is arranged to be light-transmitting, and the rest of the light-shielding area 13312 is arranged to be non-light-transmitting, so that the rest of the part except the lamp body 1333 is shielded by the light-shielding area 13312 of the decorative plate 1331, and thus the connecting part of the support 1332 and the mounting sink 1334 cannot be observed from the outside of the cabinet 10, so as to improve the appearance neatness.

[0064] As shown in Figures 3 to 8 some embodiments of the present application, the mounting sink 1334 is provided with a first connecting structure, and the support 1332 is provided with a second connecting structure, the second connecting structure is located in the mounting sink 1334 and is clamped and connected with the first connecting structure, and the projections of the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure fall into the light-shielding area 13312 along the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334.

[0065] It can be seen that the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are clamped and connected, so that the support 1332 can be conveniently installed and removed, thereby facilitating the disassembly, maintenance or replacement of the decorative lamp 133. Moreover, the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure can be shielded by the light-shielding area 13312, so that the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure cannot be observed from the outside, so as to improve the appearance neatness of the whole machine.

[0066] Exemplarily, the first connecting structure can be a hook 13321 or a protrusion, and the second connecting structure can be a clamping plate matched with the hook 13321 or a recess matched with the protrusion. For example, a plurality of hooks 13321 are arranged on the side of the bracket 1332 away from the opening of the mounting sink 1334, the hooks 13321 extend to the inside of the cabinet 10 along the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334, the side wall of the mounting sink 1334 can serve as a clamping plate, and the bracket 1332 is pressed into the mounting sink 1334 so that the hooks 13321 are hung on the clamping plate, thereby achieving the fixed connection of the bracket 1332 with the cabinet 10. Alternatively, protrusions can be arranged on the side of the bracket 1332, and recesses can be arranged inside the side wall of the mounting sink 1334, the bracket 1332 is pressed into the mounting sink 1334 so that the protrusions are pressed into the recesses, thereby achieving the fixed connection of the bracket 1332 with the cabinet 10.

[0067] As shown in Figures 3 to 8 some embodiments of the present application, the mounting sink 1334 is further provided with a third connecting structure, and the heat pump water heater 1 further includes a fastener, the bracket 1332 is connected with the third connecting structure through the fastener, and along the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334, the projection of the third connecting structure and the fastener all fall into the shading area 13312.

[0068] It can be seen that the third connecting structure is fastened and connected with the bracket 1332 through the fastener, thereby achieving further fastening connection of the bracket 1332 on the basis of the connection of the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure, and improving the reliability of the installation of the bracket 1332. Moreover, the third connecting structure and the fastener can be blocked by the shading area 13312, so that the third connecting structure and the fastener cannot be observed from the outside, thereby improving the appearance of the whole machine.

[0069] Exemplarily, the fastener can be a bolt or a screw, and the third connecting structure can be a bolt hole or a through hole on the side wall or the bottom wall of the mounting sink 1334, so that the fastener is arranged through the side wall or the bottom wall of the mounting sink 1334 and is connected with the bracket 1332 at the corresponding position, thereby achieving the fastening connection of the bracket 1332 with the mounting sink 1334. Specifically, the third connecting structure can be arranged staggered and spaced apart from the first connecting structure in the circumferential direction of the mounting sink 1334, so as to connect the bracket 1332 with the mounting sink 1334 at multiple positions.

[0070] As shown in Figures 3 to 8 some embodiments of the present application, the cabinet 10 is provided with a sink opening 13341, and the mounting sink 1334 includes a ring plate 13342, the ring plate 13342 extends along the circumferential direction of the sink opening 13341 and is located inside the cabinet 10, one end of the ring plate 13342 is connected with the cabinet 10 along the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334, and the other end of the ring plate 13342 is provided with the first connecting structure and the third connecting structure.

[0071] It can be seen that by setting an open installation sink 1334 on the box body 10, the side wall of the installation sink 1334 is formed by the ring plate 13342, and the first connecting structure and the third connecting structure are set on the ring plate 13342, so that the bracket 1332 can be pressed and installed into the installation sink 1334 from the depth direction of the installation sink 1334, thereby facilitating the installation of the bracket 1332.

[0072] Exemplarily, the mounting sink 1334 is formed by cooperating with the annular ring plate 13342 on the sink opening 13341 of the box body 10. The sink opening 13341 can be rectangular, waist-shaped or square. The ring plate 13342 extends along the circumference of the sink opening 13341 and is arranged at the edge of the sink opening 13341. Specifically, the ring plate 13342 can be formed by flanging and bending the edge portion of the box body 10 located at the sink opening 13341, or by welding the annular plate to the box body 10. The end of the ring plate 13342 facing away from the box body 10 in the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334 can be provided with a first connecting structure and a third connecting structure by bending or welding. Specifically, a portion perpendicular to the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334 can be formed by flanging to provide a hook 13321 for hooking and connection, or a plate surface perpendicular to the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334 can be formed by bending to facilitate the insertion of fasteners and connect it to the portion parallel to the bracket 1332.

[0073] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first connection structure includes a flange 13343 set at an angle to the ring plate 13342, and the second connection structure includes a plurality of hooks 13321, which are arranged at intervals along the outer edge of the bracket 1332 and are clamped to the flange 13343.

[0074] It can be seen that by setting the flange 13343 and the hook 13321 to fit together, the bracket 1332 can be connected to the ring plate 13342 by snapping. The snapping method is easy to install. During installation, the bracket 1332 can be directly pressed into the installation sink 1334 along the depth direction of the installation sink 1334.

[0075] Exemplarily, the flange 13343 can be achieved by bending the side of the ring plate 13342 away from the box body 10. The flange 13343 can extend in a ring shape, or be flanged at a fixed position in the circumferential direction of the ring plate 13342 according to the position of the hook 13321. One end of the hook 13321 is connected to the outer edge of the bracket 1332 and can be integrally formed with the bracket 1332.

After the clamping hook 13321 is connected with the turn-up 13343, the support 1332 and the connecting lug 13344 can be fastened and connected through the bolt arranged in the first bolt hole and the second bolt hole, further improving the installation reliability of the support 1332.

[0082] As shown in the drawings, Figures 3 to 8 In some embodiments of the application, the number of connecting lugs 13344 is two, and the two connecting lugs 13344 are oppositely arranged along the second direction, which is perpendicular to the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334 and perpendicular to the first direction.

[0083] It can be seen that by arranging two oppositely arranged connecting lugs 13344, cooperating with the clamping hook 13321 arranged alternately on the circumference of the sink opening 13341 and the connecting lug 13344, the support 1332 is clamped to the box body 10, and then the connection is strengthened by the fastener.

[0084] Exemplarily, the second direction can be the width direction of the support 1332, and by arranging two oppositely arranged connecting lugs 13344 in the second direction, the two longer sides of the support 1332 can be fastened and connected with the connecting lug 13344 by bolts. The connecting lug 13344 can be arranged with a longer length along the first direction, and a plurality of first bolt holes are arranged, so that the connection between the support 1332 and the mounting sink 1334 is more fastened.

[0085] As shown in the drawings, Figures 3 to 9 In some embodiments of the application, the support 1332 has a lamp mounting cavity 13322, which is open at both ends along the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334, the lamp body 1333 is installed in the lamp mounting cavity 13322, and the lamp mounting cavity 13322 is also filled with sealant, which covers part of the lamp body 1333.

[0086] It can be seen that in order to facilitate the installation of the lamp body 1333 and protect the lamp body 1333, the lamp mounting cavity 13322 can be arranged, the lamp body 1333 is placed in the lamp mounting cavity 13322 for protection, and the sealant is poured in the lamp mounting cavity 13322 to improve the protection performance of the lamp body 1333.

[0087] Exemplarily, the lamp mounting cavity 13322 is open at both ends along the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334, one end is for transmitting light, and the other end facilitates the installation of the lamp body 1333 into the lamp mounting cavity 13322. The lamp mounting cavity 13322 can be cylindrical or prismatic, and the lamp body 1333 can be connected to the cavity wall of the lamp mounting cavity 13322 by clamping or bonding. The sealant can be poured from the open position of the lamp mounting cavity 13322 and in contact with the lamp body 1333, which will cover and protect the lamp body 1333 after solidification, reduce the contact of the lamp body 1333 with rainwater or dust, and bond the lamp body 1333 with the support 1332, thereby improving the installation reliability of the lamp body 1333.

[0088] As shown in Figure 5 , 6 , 8 and 9, in some embodiments of the present application, a lamp holder 13324 is further arranged in the lamp mounting cavity 13322, the lamp body 1333 is installed on the lamp holder 13324, the lamp holder 13324 has a plurality of hollow openings 13325, and the plurality of hollow openings 13325 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the sink opening 13341. The lamp body 1333 has a plurality of lamp beads 13331, and the positions of the plurality of lamp beads 13331 in the circumferential direction of the sink opening 13341 correspond to the plurality of hollow openings 13325.

[0089] As can be seen, the lamp holder 13324 can be arranged in the lamp mounting cavity 13322 to facilitate the installation of the lamp body 1333.

[0090] Exemplarily, the lamp holder 13324 can be a ring structure arranged in the lamp mounting cavity 13322 and integrally formed with the support 1332. The plurality of hollow openings 13325 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the sink opening 13341 on the lamp holder 13324. The lamp body 1333 can be in the form of a lamp strip, and the hollow openings 13325 correspond one-to-one to the lamp beads 13331 of the lamp strip, so that the light of the lamp beads 13331 can be emitted from the hollow openings 13325.

[0091] As shown in Figures 3 to 8 , in some embodiments of the present application, the lamp body 1333 further includes a wiring terminal and a PCB board. The PCB board extends in a ring shape along the circumferential direction of the sink opening 13341, and on one side of the PCB board in the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334, a plurality of lamp beads 13331 are arranged and connected with the lamp holder 13324. The other side of the PCB board is connected with the wiring terminal and is covered by the sealant.

[0092] It can be seen that the PCB board is connected with the lamp holder 13324, and the lamp beads 13331 are arranged corresponding to the hollow openings 13325, so that the lamp body 1333 in the form of a lamp strip is conveniently installed, and the sealing glue covers the PCB board, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance of the PCB board.

[0093] Exemplarily, the PCB board can be in the form of a ring-shaped plate structure, and the plurality of lamp beads 13331 are arranged on the PCB board along the circumference of the sink opening 13341. One side of the PCB board can be connected with the lamp holder 13324 by means of adhesion or clamping. For example, a cooperating column is arranged on the lamp holder 13324, the cooperating column is inserted into a through hole on the PCB board, or the PCB board is clamped between the cooperating column and the fixing cylinder 13327. Some convex arc surfaces can be arranged on the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 13327, so that the PCB board is connected with the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 13327 in an interference fit. The wiring terminal needs to be exposed to the sealing glue to facilitate external wiring and electrical connection.

[0094] As shown in Figures 3 to 8 some embodiments of the present application, the support 1332 includes a fixing plate 13326 and a fixing cylinder 13327.

The fixing cylinder 13327 forms a lamp mounting cavity 13322 inside. The outer peripheral wall of the fixing cylinder 13327 is partially convex to form a clamping hook 13321.

[0095] It can be seen that the viewing opening arranged on the fixing plate 13326 facilitates the light emitted by the lamp beads 13331. The fixing cylinder 13327 arranged on the fixing plate 13326 forms the lamp mounting cavity 13322 inside the fixing cylinder 13327, so that the decorative lamp 133 is installed therein and protected. In addition, the second connecting structure is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the fixing cylinder 13327, so that the clamping hook 13321 is in an integral structure with the fixing cylinder 13327. The clamping hook 13321 cannot be bent in the first direction, so as to be hung on the flange 13343 as a dead hook when the support 1332 is installed.

[0096] Exemplarily, the outer shape of the fixing plate 13326 is adapted to the sink opening 13341, which can be rectangular or waist-shaped, the fixing cylinder 13327 can be cylindrical and integrally formed with the fixing plate 13326, the inner diameter of the fixing cylinder 13327 is consistent with the caliber of the visual opening, the lamp holder 13324 can be integrally formed with the fixing cylinder 13327 and is arranged in the axial direction of the fixing cylinder 13327 and spaced from the visual opening, so that a certain space is formed between the lamp body 1333 and the fixing plate 13326 and the decorative plate 1331 after installation, to facilitate heat dissipation or to arrange a light diffusion layer in the space, and the sealing glue can also be poured into the space to wrap the lamp bead 13331, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof performance.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative lamp 133 further comprises a light diffusion layer covering the lamp bead 13331. By arranging the light diffusion layer, the light emitted by the lamp bead 13331 is more soft and diffuse, so that no trace can be seen from the outside to the lamp bead 13331. Specifically, the light diffusion layer can adopt existing lamp light diffusion structures, such as a plate member with a frosted surface or a plate member with a concave-convex surface.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative plate 1331 and the fixing plate 13326 are further filled with adhesive.

[0099] As can be seen, by arranging the decorative plate 1331 on the outer side of the support 1332, the decorative plate 1331 can close the sink opening 13341, thereby improving the sealing and protection of the decorative lamp 133 on the inner side of the sink opening 13341, and the decorative plate 1331 can shield the internal connection structure, thereby improving the overall aesthetic appearance.

[0100] Exemplarily, the decorative plate 1331 can be a flat plate structure, the outer shape of which is adapted to the fixing plate 13326 of the support 1332, for example, both are waist-shaped, the decorative plate 1331 can be made of a high polymer material or an inorganic compound material, such as an acrylic plate or a glass plate, both of which are connected by double-sided adhesive bonding, and the adhesive needs to avoid the position of the visual opening when being applied.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the decorative plate 1331 is an acrylic plate. The acrylic plate can be printed with color, which is used as an appearance piece of the decorative lamp 133 to improve the overall aesthetic appearance.

[0102] The second aspect of the present application proposes a heat pump water heater, which comprises an electric control box assembly 50 and the box body decoration structure according to the first aspect of the present application, and the electric control box assembly 50 is installed in the box body 10 and electrically connected with the decorative lamp 133.

[0103] It can be seen that the heat pump water heater 1 has a simple and beautiful appearance. Specifically, the mounting sink 1334 is arranged on the outer surface of the box body 10, the decorative lamp 133 is embedded in the mounting sink 1334 of the box body 10, and the decorative plate 1331 of the decorative lamp 133 is divided into a light-transmitting area 13311 and a light-blocking area 13312, so that the light-transmitting area 13311 can transmit the light emitted by the lamp body 1333, and the light-blocking area 13312 can block part of the support 1332 in the depth direction of the mounting sink 1334, so that the user cannot observe from the outside, thereby improving the simplicity and beauty of the decorative lamp 133. In addition, the decorative lamp 133 is embedded in the mounting sink 1334, so that the decorative lamp 133 can be protected by the box body 10, reducing the exposure of the decorative lamp 133 to rain and dust, and improving the service life of the decorative lamp 133.

[0104] It can be understood that the first heat exchanger 20 is a condenser of the heating cycle of the heat pump water heater 1, and the first heat exchanger 20 is approximately G-shaped. Specifically, the first heat exchanger 20 includes a first heat exchange part, a second heat exchange part, a third heat exchange part and a fourth heat exchange part connected in sequence, the first heat exchange part is arranged opposite to the third heat exchange part, the second heat exchange part is arranged opposite to the fourth heat exchange part, and the fourth heat exchange part and the first heat exchange part form a gap space at the corner. The electric control box assembly is approximately plate-shaped or flat box-shaped, and the electric control box assembly 50 is installed at the gap space. The electric control box assembly 50 is arranged in an area with weak ventilation, which has little effect on the ventilation and heat exchange of the whole machine, improves the efficiency of the ventilation and heat exchange of the whole machine, and improves the performance of the heat pump water heater 1. The first heat exchanger 20 and the electric control box assembly are connected in series to form a ring-shaped structure, which improves the structural strength of the whole machine, and improves the shock resistance, durability and noise control of the whole machine.

[0105] As shown in Figures 4-7 In some embodiments of the present application, the heat pump water heater 1 further comprises a fan assembly 60 and a wire controller assembly 70. The box body 10 comprises a top frame 13, and the top frame 13 comprises a surrounding plate assembly 131. The fan assembly 60 is arranged in the space surrounded by the surrounding plate assembly 131, and the wire controller assembly 70 is arranged on the side of the surrounding plate assembly 131 away from the fan assembly 60. The outer surface of the surrounding plate assembly 131 is provided with a mounting sink 1334, and the decorative lamp 133 is embedded in the surrounding plate assembly 131 through the mounting sink 1334.

[0106] It can be seen that by arranging the coaming assembly 131 on the top of the heat pump water heater 1, the fan assembly 60 is installed in the space surrounded by the coaming assembly 131, so that the heat pump water heater 1 is arranged in a top-out mode, the exhaust capacity can be improved, the refrigeration demand can be met, and the influence on the side environment is reduced. The wire controller assembly 70 can be installed on the outer circumferential side of the coaming assembly 131 and located at the head part of the heat pump water heater 1 to improve the installation height and facilitate operation. The decorative lamp 133 is also installed on the coaming assembly 131 and located at the head part of the heat pump water heater 1 to improve the installation height and facilitate observation. In addition, the waterproof sealing effect is improved by embedded installation, and the aesthetic appearance is improved.

[0107] Exemplarily, the coaming assembly 131 can be a mouth-shaped structure formed by sequentially connecting four plate members. The bottom of the coaming assembly 131 can be connected with a grille or a support column, so that the coaming assembly 131 is supported. The top end of the coaming assembly 131 can be provided with a cover plate 132, and the cover plate 132 is provided with a hollow air guide structure to guide the air outlet of the fan assembly 60. The wire controller assembly 70 can be installed on the coaming assembly 131 in a hinged manner, for example, a sunken groove is arranged on the coaming assembly 131, the wire controller assembly 70 is located in the sunken groove, and can be turned over to open to facilitate operation and take into account the waterproof sealing performance. The decorative lamp 133 can be embeddedly installed on the outer surface of the coaming assembly 131 through the installation sunken table 1334 arranged on the coaming assembly 131.

[0108] As shown in Figures 4-7 In some embodiments of the present application, the coaming assembly 131 includes four frame plates 1311, which are sequentially arranged along the circumference of the fan assembly 60, and adjacent two frame plates 1311 are arranged at an angle. The decorative lamp 133 and the wire controller assembly 70 are arranged on the adjacent two frame plates 1311, respectively. Along the circumference of the fan assembly 60, the sum of the width of the decorative lamp 133 and the width of the wire controller assembly 70 is greater than the width of the frame plate 1311.

[0109] It is understood that the decorative lights 133 and the wire controller assembly 70 are respectively mounted on two adjacent and angled frame plates 1311, so that the decorative lights 133 and the wire controller assembly 70 are respectively located on different sides of the machine head, so that the width of the machine head can be less than the sum of the widths of the decorative lights 133 and the wire controller assembly 70, making it more compact. In addition, the decorative lights 133 and the wire controller can be quickly replaced. In the molding die of the enclosure assembly 131, the decorative lights 133 and the wire controller assembly 70 can use different pressing molds respectively. When the position requirements of the decorative lights 133 and the wire controller change, the position of the pressing mold can be modified and quickly replaced to meet the requirements. If they are on the same side of the machine unit, it is possible that due to the compact space, the decorative lights 133 and the wire controller assembly 70 are designed as a single pressing mold, which makes the quick replacement requirement impossible. The solution in which the decorative light 133 and the wire controller assembly 70 are located on different sides of the machine head can also achieve reasonable functional differentiation. When the wire controller assembly 70 is operated, the sound and light signals of the wire controller assembly 70 can be directly observed without having to judge the status by observing the color of the light strip.

[0110] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, along the circumference of the fan assembly 60, the angle between two adjacent frame plates 1311 ( Figure 4 By setting the included angle between two adjacent frame plates 1311 to 90°, the four frame plates 1311 are in a mouth-shaped structure, which is compact and beautiful and easy to install.
