Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrical technology, specifically relating to an electronic control component and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern technology, air conditioners, as indispensable electrical appliances in homes and commercial environments, are receiving increasing attention from consumers regarding their performance and stability. During the operation of an air conditioner, sensors can detect temperature and / or humidity, which are crucial for maintaining indoor comfort and energy efficiency.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, the detection accuracy of sensors is low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an electronic control component and an air conditioner, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problem of low sensor detection accuracy.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0006] An electronic control component is characterized by comprising: an electronic control box; a mounting box detachably connected to the electronic control box and having a detection port; and a sensor comprising a body and a detection part connected to the body, the body being disposed within the mounting box and spaced apart from both the inner walls of the electronic control box and the mounting box, and the detection part being disposed opposite to the detection port.

[0007] Because the mounting box is detachably connected to the electrical control box and has a detection port, the electrical control box supports the mounting box, ensuring the stability of the electrical control box installation. Since the sensor includes a main body and a detection unit connected to it, with the main body housed within the mounting box, the mounting box provides a protective shell, effectively preventing direct damage from physical impacts, vibrations, and compression in the external environment, thus ensuring the safety of the main body. Because the detection unit and detection port are positioned opposite each other, when airflow from the air conditioner enters the mounting box through the detection port, the airflow can directly reach the detection unit, shortening the path from the entrance port to the detection unit. This reduces heat loss and humidity changes during airflow, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature and / or humidity detection and increasing detection precision. The main body is spaced apart from the inner walls of the control box and the mounting box. Therefore, the main body is suspended in the mounting box. When airflow enters the mounting box, the airflow can reach not only the end face of the main body facing the detection port, but also the end face of the main body away from the detection port. This ensures that all parts of the main body and the detection unit can fully contact the airflow, thereby improving the detection accuracy of temperature and / or humidity. Moreover, the reduced contact area between the main body and the inner wall of the mounting box reduces the detection error caused by eddies or dead corners formed by airflow at the contact surface, improving detection accuracy. At the same time, it provides a smooth flow path for airflow, reducing airflow resistance caused by obstacles or narrow channels, making the temperature and / or humidity information in the airflow more evenly distributed around the main body and the detection unit, further improving the uniformity and accuracy of detection.

[0008] In some implementations, the mounting box includes a base plate and a surrounding plate disposed on the base plate; wherein the main body is spaced apart from the base plate, the surrounding plate and the electrical control box to ensure the accuracy of sensor detection.

[0009] In some implementations, the body and the enclosure are spaced apart to further ensure the accuracy of sensor detection.

[0010] In some embodiments, the mounting box further includes: a support member connected to the base plate and / or the enclosure; two first buckles disposed opposite each other on the base plate; wherein the body is located between the first buckles and the support member to ensure the accuracy of sensor detection.

[0011] In some implementations, a limiting groove is formed on the end face of the support member away from the base plate, and the body is embedded in the limiting groove to achieve that the body is spaced apart from the electrical control box and the base plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, the mounting box further includes a second buckle disposed on the base plate and angled to the first buckle; wherein the main body is located between the second buckle and the support member to further ensure the stability of the main body installation.

[0013] In some implementations, the mounting box has a plurality of first air guide slots on its periphery, and the plurality of first air guide slots surround the body to further ensure the detection accuracy of the sensor.

[0014] In some implementations, the mounting box has multiple second air guide slots at the end opposite to the electrical control box, and the second air guide slots are connected to the corresponding first air guide slots to further ensure the detection accuracy of the sensor.

[0015] In some embodiments, the main body has a receiving groove, the detection part is disposed in the receiving groove, part of the detection part is connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove, and another part is spaced apart from the groove wall of the receiving groove, so as to further ensure the detection accuracy of the detection part.

[0016] In some implementations, one of the mounting box and the main body is provided with a positioning element, and the other is provided with a positioning hole. The positioning element can be inserted into the positioning hole to prevent mistaken insertion.

[0017] In some implementations, one of the mounting box and the electrical control box is provided with a third buckle, and the other has a slot, wherein the third buckle can be snapped into the slot; one of the mounting box and the electrical control box is provided with a plug-in, and the other has a slot, wherein the plug-in can be inserted into the slot; wherein the third buckle and the plug-in are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting box, so that the mounting box is detachably connected to the electrical control box.

[0018] In some implementations, the electronic control component further includes a motherboard, the mounting box has a wiring port, and the electronic control component further includes: a first wiring clip disposed in the mounting box; a second wiring clip disposed in the mounting box and located on opposite sides of the mounting box, respectively, and the first wiring clip; a first cable, one end of which is electrically connected to the main body, and the other end of which passes through the wiring port, the first wiring clip, and the second wiring clip in sequence and is electrically connected to the motherboard to realize signal transmission.

[0019] In some implementations, the electronic control assembly further includes: a motherboard mounting component disposed within the electronic control box; a motherboard disposed within the motherboard mounting component and electrically connected to the main body; wherein the motherboard mounting component is located between the motherboard and the electronic control box, and the electronic control box is located between the motherboard mounting component and the mounting box, to further ensure the detection accuracy of the sensor.

[0020] In some implementations, the electronic control component further includes a temperature sensing element disposed on the end face of the motherboard mounting component facing away from the motherboard and electrically connected to the motherboard; wherein the temperature sensing element passes through the electronic control box and is offset from the mounting box.

[0021] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, including a housing, a fan assembly disposed within the housing, and the aforementioned electronic control assembly. The electronic control box of the electronic control assembly is connected to the housing, and the distance between the mounting box and the axis of the fan assembly is less than or equal to 150 mm, so as to further ensure the detection accuracy of the sensor.

[0055] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0056] The electronic control component and air conditioner provided in this embodiment are intended to at least partially solve the technical problem of low detection accuracy of sensors.

[0057] Figure 1 These are schematic diagrams of the structure of the electronic control components in some embodiments; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded view of the central electronic control components; Figure 3 for Figure 1 Assembly diagram of the mounting box for the central electronic control components. (Combined with...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The electronic control assembly in this embodiment includes an electronic control box 10, a mounting box 20, and a sensor 30. The mounting box 20 is detachably connected to the electronic control box 10 and has a detection port 201. The sensor 30 includes a body 301 and a detection part 302 connected to the body 301. The body 301 is disposed inside the mounting box 20 and is spaced apart from both the inner walls of the electronic control box 10 and the mounting box 20. The detection part 302 is disposed opposite to the detection port 201.

[0058] Sensor 30 can be a temperature sensor to detect changes in the ambient temperature. Sensor 30 can be a humidity sensor to detect changes in the ambient humidity. Sensor 30 can be a temperature and humidity sensor to detect changes in both the ambient temperature and humidity.

[0059] The main body 301 and the bottom wall of the mounting box 20 are spaced apart.

[0060] Since the mounting box 20 is detachably connected to the control box 10 and has a detection port 201, the control box 10 supports the mounting box 20 to ensure the stability of the control box 10 installation. Since the sensor 30 includes a body 301 and a detection part 302 connected to the body 301, and the body 301 is located inside the mounting box 20, the mounting box 20 provides a shell for the body 301, effectively preventing direct damage to the body 301 from physical impacts, vibrations, and compression in the external environment, thus ensuring the safety of the body 301. Because the detection part 302 is positioned opposite the detection port 201, when airflow from the air conditioner enters the mounting box 20 through the detection port 201, the airflow can directly reach the detection part 302, shortening the path of the airflow from the detection port to the detection part 302. This reduces heat loss, humidity changes, and other interference factors during the airflow process, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection part 302 in detecting temperature and / or humidity. The detection accuracy is improved because the main body 301 is spaced apart from the inner walls of the control box 10 and the mounting box 20. Therefore, the main body 301 is suspended in the mounting box 20. When the airflow enters the mounting box 20, the airflow can reach not only the end face of the main body 301 facing the detection port 201, but also the end face of the main body 301 away from the detection port 201. This ensures that all parts of the main body 301 and the detection part 302 can fully contact the airflow, thereby improving the detection accuracy of temperature and / or humidity. Moreover, the contact area between the main body 301 and the inner wall of the mounting box 20 is reduced, which reduces the detection error caused by the formation of eddies or dead corners in the contact surface of the airflow and improves the detection accuracy. At the same time, it provides a smooth flow path for the airflow, reducing the airflow resistance caused by obstacles or narrow channels, so that the temperature and / or humidity information in the airflow is more evenly distributed around the main body 301 and the detection part 302, further improving the uniformity and accuracy of the detection.

[0061] Figure 8 for Figure 1 Rear view of the central electronic control unit; Figure 9 for Figure 8 Sectional view along axis AA; Figure 10 for Figure 8 BB-direction sectional view. Combined with Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, since the main body 301 is spaced apart from the inner walls of the control box 10 and the mounting box 20, the main body 301 is suspended in the mounting box 20, allowing airflow to flow smoothly within the mounting box 20. When temperature detection is required, the smooth airflow also enhances the convective heat transfer effect between the detection unit 302 and the airflow, enabling the detection unit 302 to respond more quickly to changes in airflow temperature and further improving the accuracy of temperature detection.

[0062] In some embodiments, since the mounting box 20 is detachably connected to the electrical control box 10, when the sensor 30 inside the mounting box 20 needs maintenance, repair or replacement, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire system. Only the mounting box 20 needs to be removed for operation, which improves work efficiency. Moreover, during disassembly and installation, the risk of damage to the electrical control box 10 or the mounting box 20 due to improper operation is reduced.

[0063] In some embodiments, the mounting box 20 has an opening through which the sensor 30 can be installed. The opening allows the sensor 30 to be directly aligned and installed in the mounting box 20, simplifying the installation process, reducing the time and steps required for installation, and improving work efficiency.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the mounting box 20 is connected to the control box 10, the control box 10 can close the opening so that the sensor 30 is located in the cavity formed by the mounting box 20 and the control box 10, which can effectively prevent physical impacts, vibrations, and squeezing in the external environment from directly damaging the body 301 and ensure the safety of the body 301.

[0065] Figure 4 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the mounting box; Figure 5 for Figure 4 A schematic diagram showing the arrangement of the support components for the mounting box. Figure 6 for Figure 2 A bottom view of the mounting box. Combined with... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10In some embodiments, to ensure the accuracy of sensor 30 detection, mounting box 20 includes base plate 202 and surrounding plate 203 on base plate 202. The main body 301 is spaced apart from both base plate 202 and electrical control box 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, when airflow enters the mounting box 20 through the detection port 201, the body 301 is suspended within the mounting box 20. The airflow enters the gap between the body 301 and the base plate 202 and the gap between the body 301 and the electrical control box 10. This allows the airflow to reach not only the end face of the body 301 facing the detection port 201, but also the end face of the body 301 away from the detection port 201. This ensures that all parts of the body 301 and the detection part 302 can fully contact the airflow, thereby improving the detection accuracy of temperature and / or humidity. Furthermore, it reduces the contact area between the body 301 and the inner wall of the mounting box 20, reducing detection errors caused by eddies or dead angles formed by the airflow at the contact surface, thus improving detection accuracy. At the same time, it provides a smooth flow path for the airflow, reducing airflow resistance caused by obstacles or narrow channels, and making the temperature and / or humidity information in the airflow more evenly distributed around the body 301 and the detection part 302, further improving the uniformity and accuracy of detection.

[0067] In some embodiments, to further ensure the detection accuracy of the sensor 30, the body 301 and the surrounding plate 203 are spaced apart. The distance between the body 301 and the surrounding plate 203 is 2mm to 5mm.

[0068] In some embodiments, when airflow enters the mounting box 20 through the detection port 201, the main body 301 is suspended within the mounting box 20, and there is a gap between the main body 301 and the surrounding plate 203. This means that the airflow not only enters the gap between the main body 301 and the base plate 202 and the gap between the main body 301 and the electrical control box 10, but also the gap between the main body 301 and the surrounding plate 203. This allows the airflow to reach not only the end face of the main body 301 facing the detection port 201, but also the end face of the main body 301 away from the detection port 201, ensuring the proper functioning of the main body 301 and the detection unit. All parts of 302 can fully contact the airflow, thereby improving the detection accuracy of temperature and / or humidity. Moreover, the reduced contact area between the main body 301 and the inner wall of the mounting box 20 reduces the detection error caused by the formation of eddies or dead corners in the airflow at the contact surface, thus improving the detection accuracy. At the same time, it provides a smooth flow path for the airflow, reducing the airflow resistance caused by obstacles or narrow channels, so that the temperature and / or humidity information in the airflow is more evenly distributed around the main body 301 and the detection part 302, further improving the uniformity and accuracy of the detection.

[0069] Of course, in some other embodiments, the main body 301 may abut against the enclosure 203. Under the condition that the size of the main body 301 remains unchanged, the volume of the mounting box 20 can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied by the mounting box 20, so as to avoid the mounting box 20 occupying too much space of the air conditioner housing 90, and to facilitate the installation of other equipment in the housing 90. At the same time, the enclosure 203 can limit the main body 301 to ensure the stability of the installation of the main body 301.

[0070] In some embodiments, the detection port 201 is formed on the base plate 202, the end face of the body 301 facing the detection port 201 is spaced apart from the base plate 202, the end face of the body 301 away from the detection port 201 is spaced apart from the electrical control box 10, and the edge of the body 301 is spaced apart from the surrounding plate 203.

[0071] In some embodiments, in order to achieve the spacing between the body 301 and the surrounding plate 203, the cross-sectional area of ​​the body 20 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom plate 202 along the thickness direction of the mounting box 20, and the edges of the surrounding plate 203 and the bottom plate 202 are connected, so that there is a gap between the body 301 and the surrounding plate 203 to facilitate the flow of air.

[0072] In some embodiments, the base plate 202 can be integrally formed with the surrounding plate 203, which ensures the structural strength of the mounting box 20, reduces the risk of structural damage caused by loose or failed connectors, can more effectively disperse and resist external loads, improve the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the mounting box 20, and eliminates the assembly process, reduces production and labor costs, realizes automated production, and improves production efficiency and product consistency.

[0073] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, to ensure that the main body 301 is spaced apart from both the electrical control box 10 and the base plate 202, the mounting box 20 further includes a support member 204 and two first latches 205. The support member 204 is connected to the base plate 202 and / or the surrounding plate 203. The two first latches 205 are positioned opposite each other on the base plate 202. The main body 301 is located between the first latches 205 and the support member 204. The first latches 205 can be elastic latches.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the main body 301 is installed in the mounting box 20, the main body 301 is placed on the support member 204, and the support member 204 supports the main body 301 so that the main body 301 is spaced apart from the base plate 202. The first buckle 205 is snapped onto the main body 301 to prevent the main body 301 from falling off the support member 204 and to ensure the stability of the installation of the main body 301. At the same time, the main body 301 is spaced apart from the electrical control box 10 so that the airflow can reach not only the end face of the main body 301 facing the detection port 201, but also the end face of the main body 301 away from the detection port 201, ensuring that all parts of the main body 301 and the detection part 302 can fully contact the airflow, thereby improving the detection accuracy of temperature and / or humidity.

[0075] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, to further ensure the stability of the installation of the main body 301, a limiting groove 2041 is formed on the end face of the support member 204 away from the base plate 202. The main body 301 is embedded in the limiting groove 2041, which limits the main body 301 and provides a clear installation position and guide for the main body 301. This allows the main body 301 to be installed accurately and quickly, avoiding positional deviations during the installation process. Moreover, after the main body 301 is embedded in the limiting groove 2041, the main body 301 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 2041 to effectively fix the main body 301, reducing displacement or loosening caused by factors such as vibration and impact, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the main body 301. At the same time, it can simplify the installation process of the main body 301. The operator only needs to align the main body 301 and push it into the limiting groove 2041 to complete the installation without additional fixing steps or tools, which improves the installation efficiency. In addition, it can achieve the spacing between the main body 301 and the surrounding plate 203.

[0076] In some embodiments, the limiting groove 2041 is formed on the edge of the end of the support member 204 facing the detection port 201 and away from the enclosure 203. This can reduce the space occupied by the body 301 in the mounting box 20, making it easier to install the body 301. In addition, it can reduce the height of the enclosure 203, thereby reducing the amount of material used and lowering the cost. At the same time, it can ensure that the body 301 and the enclosure 203 are spaced apart.

[0077] Combination Figure 6 In some embodiments, to further ensure the stability of the mounting body 301, the mounting box 20 further includes a second latch 206. The second latch 206 is disposed on the base plate 202 and is angled to the first latch 205. The body 301 is located between the second latch 206 and the support member 204. The second latch 206 can be an elastic latch.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the main body 301 is installed in the mounting box 20, the main body 301 is placed on the support member 204, and the support member 204 supports the main body 301 so that the main body 301 is spaced apart from the base plate 202. When the first buckle 205 and the second buckle 206 are engaged on the main body 301, the cooperation of the first buckle 205 and the second buckle 206 can further prevent the main body 301 from falling off the support member 204, thus ensuring the stability of the installation of the main body 301.

[0079] In some embodiments, the enclosure 203 includes four sequentially connected first enclosures, second enclosures, third enclosures and fourth enclosures, with the first enclosures facing the third enclosures and the second enclosures facing the fourth enclosures. Two first buckles 205 may be respectively provided on the first enclosures and the third enclosures, and a second buckle 206 may be provided on the second enclosures or the fourth enclosures. Each of the first enclosures, the second enclosures, the third enclosures and the fourth enclosures is provided with a support member 204.

[0080] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, to further ensure the detection accuracy of the sensor 30, a plurality of first air guide slots 207 are provided on the periphery of the mounting box 20. These first air guide slots 207 surround the body 301, enabling air convection within the mounting box 20 and enhancing airflow inside and outside the mounting box 20. As airflow paths, the multiple first air guide slots 207 allow ambient air to enter and flow more smoothly through the body 301 and the surrounding area of ​​the detection unit 302, effectively avoiding localized temperature and / or humidity differences caused by poor airflow. This ensures that the sensor 30 can contact more uniform air that is closer to actual environmental conditions, enabling the detection unit 302 to respond quickly to changes in environmental conditions, thereby reducing measurement errors caused by environmental differences and effectively improving the detection accuracy of the detection unit 302. Specifically, the first, second, third, and fourth enclosures all have first air guide slots 207.

[0081] In some embodiments, since multiple first air guide slots 207 surround the body 301, airflow can enter the mounting box 20 from various directions around the body 301. Regardless of the direction of the air conditioner's return air vent, the multiple first air guide slots 207 can ensure that airflow smoothly enters the mounting box 20 from multiple directions of the body 301. This allows the detection unit 302 to accurately sense the temperature and / or humidity information carried by the airflow from different directions, thereby improving its adaptability and accuracy in different installation environments. Moreover, it can reduce the limitations on the installation position of the sensor 30, allowing the sensor to be installed in a wider range of locations without having to worry too much about the orientation of the air conditioner's return air vent.

[0082] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, to further ensure the detection accuracy of the sensor 30, multiple second air guide slots 208 are provided at the end of the mounting box 20 away from the control box 10. This increases the air intake area, ensures the flow rate of air entering the mounting box 20, and ensures that the detection unit 302 can fully contact the airflow, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the detection unit 302. Furthermore, it enhances the air circulation inside and outside the mounting box 20. The multiple second air guide slots 208 serve as air circulation paths, allowing ambient air to enter and flow more smoothly through the area surrounding the body 301 and the detection unit 302. This effectively avoids local temperature and / or humidity differences caused by poor air circulation, ensuring that the sensor can contact more uniform air that is closer to actual environmental conditions. This allows the detection unit 302 to respond quickly to changes in environmental conditions, thereby reducing measurement errors caused by environmental differences and effectively improving the detection accuracy of the detection unit 302. The second air guide slots 208 are located on the base plate 202.

[0083] In some embodiments, to reduce processing costs, multiple second air guide slots 208 correspond one-to-one with multiple first air guide slots 207, and the second air guide slots 208 are connected to the corresponding first air guide slots 207. This can reduce the need for additional connecting parts or complex structures during processing, simplify mold design, reduce processing difficulty and time, and thus effectively reduce the overall processing cost. Moreover, the connection between the second air guide slots 208 and the corresponding first air guide slots 207 ensures that the airflow maintains a uniform and stable distribution when passing through the mounting box 20, ensuring that the detection unit 302 can receive airflows from all directions with similar flow rates, thereby further improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.

[0084] Of course, in some other embodiments, the second air guide slot 208 may not be connected to the first air guide slot 207. That is, the second air guide slot 208 may be staggered from the first air guide slot 207, and the airflow may enter the mounting box 20 through the second air guide slot 208.

[0085] Figure 7 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the sensor structure in the central electronic control component. (Combined with...) Figure 7 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the detection accuracy of the detection unit 302, the main body 301 is provided with a receiving groove 3011, the detection unit 302 is disposed in the receiving groove 3011, part of the detection unit 302 is connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 3011, and the other part is spaced apart from the groove wall of the receiving groove 3011.

[0086] In some embodiments, a portion of the detection unit 302 is connected to the wall of the receiving groove 3011 to enable the body 301 to support the detection unit 302, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the detection unit 302. Another portion of the detection unit 302 is spaced apart from the wall of the receiving groove 3011, so that there is a gap between the detection unit 302 and the wall of the receiving groove 3011. When the airflow enters the mounting box 20, the airflow can not only reach the end face of the detection unit 302 facing the detection port 201, but also reach the end face of the detection unit 302 away from the detection port 201 through the gap, ensuring that all parts of the detection unit 302 can fully contact the airflow, thereby improving the detection accuracy of temperature and / or humidity.

[0087] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, to prevent mistaken installation, one of the mounting box 20 and the main body 301 is provided with a positioning element 209, and the other is provided with a positioning hole 303. The positioning element 209 can be inserted into the positioning hole 303. Through the cooperation of the positioning element 209 and the positioning hole 303, it can be ensured that the main body 301 can be installed on the mounting box 20 in the correct direction and position, avoiding the main body 301 being installed backwards in the mounting box 20. This can effectively prevent incorrect installation caused by user negligence or misoperation, and improve the accuracy and reliability of installation. Moreover, with the guidance of the positioning element 209 and the positioning hole 303, the installation of the main body 301 on the mounting box 20 can be easily completed without a complicated alignment and adjustment process, reducing the difficulty and complexity of installation, saving installation time, and improving work efficiency.

[0088] In some embodiments, the mounting box 20 may be provided with a positioning element 209, and the main body 301 may have a positioning hole 303. Of course, in some other embodiments, the main body 301 may be provided with a positioning element 209, and the mounting box 20 may have a positioning hole 303.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the body 301 has a positioning hole 303, the positioning hole 303 is located on one side of the center line of the body 301 in the length direction.

[0090] Figure 11 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the electrical control box of the central electrical control component. (Combined with...) Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 11In some embodiments, to enable the mounting box 20 to be detachably connected to the electrical control box 10, one of the mounting box 20 and the electrical control box 10 is provided with a third latch 2010, and the other has a slot 101, into which the third latch 2010 can be latched. One of the mounting box 20 and the electrical control box 10 is provided with an insert 2011, and the other has a slot 102, into which the insert 2011 can be inserted. The third latch 2010 and the insert 2011 are located on opposite sides of the mounting box 20.

[0091] In some embodiments, when the mounting box 20 is to be installed in the electrical control box 10, the plug 2011 is inserted into the slot 102, and the third clip 2010 is snapped into the slot 101, thus realizing the installation of the mounting box 20 in the electrical control box 10. This simplifies the installation steps. The user only needs to align the plug 2011 with the slot 102 and insert it, and then snap the clip 2010 into the slot 101 to complete the installation of the mounting box 20. This "plug and play" method avoids cumbersome steps such as drilling and screw fixing, improves installation efficiency, and avoids drilling holes or using screws on the electrical control box, which may damage its structure, thus ensuring the integrity of the electrical control box 10.

[0092] In some embodiments, when the sensor 30 needs to be repaired, simply unfasten the third latch 2010 to separate the third latch 2010 from the slot 101, and then separate the plug 2011 from the slot 102, so that the mounting box 20 can be removed from the control box 10 without damaging the original structure or performing complicated disassembly operations, which is convenient for disassembly.

[0093] In some embodiments, the mounting box 20 may be provided with a third latch 2010, and the electrical control box 10 may be provided with a slot 101. Of course, in some other embodiments, the electrical control box 10 may be provided with a third latch 2010, and the mounting box 20 may be provided with a slot 101.

[0094] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, when the third buckle 2010 is provided on the mounting box 20, the end face of the mounting box 20 facing away from the electrical control box 10 is provided with a retaining edge 2012, and the third buckle 2010 is located inside the retaining edge 2012, so that the third buckle 2010 is effectively hidden inside the retaining edge 2012. Ordinary users or unauthorized personnel cannot easily disassemble it by hand. This reduces the safety risks caused by misoperation or malicious disassembly, and can meet the relevant safety specifications, that is, the third buckle 2010 is not allowed to be disassembled by hand, thereby ensuring the compliance and reliability of the mounting box 20 installed on the electrical control box 10.

[0095] In some embodiments, the mounting box 20 may be provided with a plug-in 2011, and the electrical control box 10 may be provided with a slot 102. Of course, in some other embodiments, the electrical control box 10 may be provided with a plug-in 2011, and the electrical control box 10 may be provided with a slot 102.

[0096] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, to achieve signal transmission, the electronic control component further includes a motherboard 40, and the mounting box 20 has a wiring port 2013. The electronic control component also includes a first wiring clip 50, a second wiring clip 60, and a first cable 70. The first wiring clip 50 is located in the mounting box 20. The second wiring clip 60 is located in the mounting box 20 and is situated on opposite sides of the mounting box 20, respectively, to the first wiring clip 50. One end of the first cable 70 is electrically connected to the main body 301, and the other end passes through the wiring port 2013, the first wiring clip 50, and the second wiring clip 60 in sequence to be electrically connected to the motherboard 40. The first cable 70 enables signal transmission between the sensor 30 and the motherboard 40.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first cable 70 is fixed and guided by the first cable clip 50 and the second cable clip 60, which facilitates the routing of the first cable 70. This can significantly improve the orderliness and neatness of the first cable management, reduce the messiness of the first cable 70, and avoid the risk of wear and breakage caused by random placement of the first cable 70, thereby extending the service life of the first cable. At the same time, it can ensure that the connection between the first cable 70 and the motherboard 40 and the main body 301 is stable, reducing the possibility of signal interruption or equipment failure due to poor connection.

[0098] In some embodiments, the first cable routing clip 50 and the second cable routing clip 60 can be integrally formed with the mounting box 20. The first cable routing clip 50 and the second cable routing clip 60 can be integrated into the mounting box 20, and the routing of the first cable 70 can be realized through a single mounting box 20. This reduces the number of parts and lowers the overall cost of manufacturing, transportation, storage, and production. At the same time, since the mounting box 20, the first cable routing clip 50, and the second cable routing clip 60 exist as a whole, only the mounting box 20 needs to be replaced during maintenance. There is no need to separately stock multiple spare parts, which reduces inventory costs, simplifies the spare parts management process, and lowers the difficulty of maintenance.

[0099] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10In some embodiments, to further ensure the detection accuracy of sensor 30, the electronic control assembly further includes a motherboard mounting component 80 and a motherboard 40. The motherboard mounting component 80 is disposed within the electronic control box 10. The motherboard 40 is disposed within the motherboard mounting component 80 and is electrically connected to the main body 301. The motherboard mounting component 80 is located between the motherboard 40 and the electronic control box 10, and the electronic control box 10 is located between the motherboard mounting component 80 and the mounting box 20.

[0100] In some embodiments, during the operation of the motherboard 40, the motherboard 40 will dissipate heat. Since the motherboard mounting component 80 is located between the motherboard 40 and the electrical control box 10, and the electrical control box 10 is located between the motherboard mounting component 80 and the mounting box 20, the motherboard 40 can be isolated from the body 301 by the walls of the motherboard mounting component 80 and the electrical control box 10. This can prevent the heat generated by the motherboard 40 from being transferred to the body 301 and the detection unit 302, and prevent the heat of the motherboard 40 from interfering with the detection of the detection unit 302, thus ensuring the detection accuracy of the sensor 30.

[0101] Figure 12 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the mainboard mounting components of the central electronic control unit; Figure 13 for Figure 12 A schematic diagram of the cable routing channels for the motherboard mounting components; Figure 14 for Figure 12 A bottom view of the motherboard mounting components. (Combined with...) Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, to detect the temperature inside the air conditioner's housing 90, the electronic control assembly further includes a temperature sensor 110. The temperature sensor 110 is disposed on the end face of the mainboard mounting component 80 opposite to the mainboard 40 and is electrically connected to the mainboard 40. The temperature sensor 110 passes through the electronic control box 10 and is offset from the mounting box 20, allowing the temperature sensor 110 to be located inside the air conditioner's housing 90 to detect the temperature inside the air conditioner's housing 90.

[0102] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the detection accuracy of the temperature sensing element 110 and the sensor 30, the temperature sensing element 110 and the mounting box 20 are staggered, which effectively reduces the interference between the temperature sensing element 110 and the sensor 30, so that the temperature sensing element 110 and the sensor 30 can detect their respective target parameters more accurately, thereby improving the overall detection accuracy.

[0103] In some embodiments, in order to realize signal transmission between the temperature sensing element 110 and the motherboard 40, the electronic control component further includes a second cable 120. The second cable 120 is electrically connected to the temperature sensing element 110 and the motherboard 40.

[0104] In some embodiments, to facilitate cable routing, the motherboard mounting component 80 is provided with a third cable routing clip 802. The third cable routing clip 802 and the motherboard 40 are located on the same side of the motherboard mounting component 80. A cable routing groove 801 is provided on the end face of the motherboard mounting component 80 away from the motherboard 40. The second cable 120 passes through the cable routing groove 801 and the third cable routing clip 802 and is electrically connected to the motherboard 40. The cable routing groove 801 and the third cable routing clip 802 fix and guide the second cable 120, which facilitates the routing of the second cable 120. This can significantly improve the orderliness and neatness of cable management, reduce the messiness of the second cable 120, and avoid the risk of wear and breakage caused by random placement of the second cable 120, thereby extending the service life of the cable. At the same time, it can ensure that the connection between the second cable 120 and the motherboard 40 and the temperature sensing element 110 is stable, reducing the possibility of signal interruption or equipment failure due to poor connection.
