[0045] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 4 The end cover 142 can abut against the sealing cover 141, that is, when the end cover 142 is arranged on the side of the sealing cover 141 away from the motor accommodating chamber 11b, the end cover 142 can squeeze the sealing cover 141 to improve the sealing effect of the sealing cover 141.

[0046] In other embodiments, the end cover 142 may not abut against the sealing cover 141 . For example, the end cover 142 may contact the sealing cover 141 but does not apply a squeezing force to the sealing cover 141 . Alternatively, the end cover 142 may be spaced apart from the sealing cover 141 .

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A first sealing rib 141a may be provided on the side of the sealing cover 141 away from the end cover 142, and a first sealing groove 11e is provided on the end surface of the frame 11 located around the installation opening 11d, and the first sealing rib 141a is inserted into the first sealing groove 11e. In other words, the first sealing rib 141a can be inserted into the first sealing groove 11e to achieve the sealing of the sealing cover 141, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the sealing cover 141.

[0048] The height of the first sealing rib 141a can be set according to design requirements. For example, the height of the first sealing rib 141a can be 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm (including endpoint values). For example, the height of the first sealing rib 141a can be 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, etc. Preferably, the height of the first sealing rib 141a can be 0.5 mm.

[0049] In other embodiments, a first sealing groove 11 e may be provided on a side of the sealing cover 141 away from the end cover 142 , and a first sealing rib 141 a may be provided on an end surface of the frame 11 located around the installation opening 11 d .

[0050] In other embodiments, the first sealing rib 141a and the first sealing groove 11e may not be provided. For example, the side of the sealing cover 141 away from the end cover 142 may directly contact the end surface of the frame 11 located around the installation opening 11d to achieve sealing.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Part of the end surface of the frame 11 located on the side around the installation opening 11d can be recessed to form an avoidance gap (not shown) connected to the motor accommodating cavity 11b. The sealing cover 141 includes a main body 1411 and a wire-passing protrusion 1412 with a wire-passing opening 1412a. The main body 1411 is sealingly covered at the installation opening 11d. The wire-passing protrusion 1412 protrudes from the side of the main body 1411 away from the end cover 142, and is sealingly arranged at the avoidance gap.

[0052] Specifically, the wire opening 1412 a is used to pass the motor wire of the driving motor 13 .

[0053] To facilitate the routing of the motor wires, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Part of the area of ​​the wire-passing protrusion 1412 can be disconnected to form a wire-passing opening 1412b connected to the wire-passing opening 1412a. In other words, the motor wire can be inserted into the wire-passing opening 1412a from the wire-passing opening 1412b.

[0054] The position where the wire-passing protrusion 1412 is disconnected is not limited, as long as a wire-passing opening 1412b communicating with the wire-passing opening 1412a can be formed. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The end of the wire-passing protrusion 1412 away from the main body 1411 can be disconnected to form a wire-passing opening 1412b.

[0055] The avoidance gap is used to avoid the wire-passing protrusion 1412. The wire-passing protrusion 1412 is sealedly arranged at the avoidance gap, which means that the wire-passing protrusion 1412 blocks the avoidance gap, and the motor accommodating chamber 11b is connected to the outside through the wire-passing opening 1412a.

[0056] The sealing cover 141 is provided with a wire-passing protrusion 1412 having a wire-passing opening 1412a. The wire-passing protrusion 1412 can be used to seal the avoidance gap to prevent condensation water from penetrating into the motor accommodating cavity 11b from the avoidance gap as much as possible, thereby also improving the waterproof effect of the drive motor 13.

[0057] in addition, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The side of the line-passing protrusion 1412 shown facing away from the line-passing opening 1412a has a second sealing rib 1412c. The height of the second sealing rib 1412c can be set according to design requirements. For example, the height of the second sealing rib 1412c can be 0.4mm to 0.6mm (including the end value). For example, the height of the second sealing rib 1412c can be 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, etc. Preferably, the height of the second sealing rib 1412c can be 0.5mm. The side wall of the avoidance notch has a second sealing groove 11f, and the second sealing rib 1412c is inserted into the second sealing groove 11f. That is, the second sealing rib 1412c is inserted into the second sealing groove 11f to achieve the sealing of the line-passing protrusion 1412, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the line-passing protrusion 1412.

[0058] In some other embodiments, a second sealing groove 11f may be provided on the side of the wire-passing protrusion 1412 away from the wire-passing opening 1412a, and a second sealing rib 1412c may be provided on the side wall of the avoiding opening.

[0059] In other embodiments, the second sealing rib 1412c and the second sealing groove 11f may not be provided. For example, the side of the wire-passing protrusion 1412 facing away from the wire-passing opening 1412a may directly contact the side wall of the avoidance gap to achieve sealing.

[0060] Furthermore, for the air outlet panel 10 in which the end cover 142 abuts against the sealing cover 141, the end cover 142 can also abut against the sealing cover 141 to make the wire-passing protrusion 1412 abut against the motor wire. In other words, the end cover 142 can squeeze the sealing cover 141 to make the wire-passing protrusion 1412 close to or wrap the motor wire, thereby forming a seal between the wire-passing protrusion 1412 and the motor wire to isolate condensation water, thereby further improving the waterproof effect of the drive motor 13.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4For the air outlet panel 10 in which the connecting shaft 131 of the driving motor 13 is drivingly connected to one of the plurality of air guide blades 121, the frame 11 may be provided with a convex ring 11g, the convex ring 11g is located on the side of the through hole 11c away from the motor accommodating chamber 11b, and surrounds the circumference of the through hole 11c, and the air guide blade 121 drivingly connected to the connecting shaft 131 of the driving motor 13 has a rod portion 1211 and a cover portion 1212 surrounding the rod portion 1211, and the rod portion 1211 is provided with a convex ring 11g, and the convex ring 11g is located on the side of the through hole 11c away from the motor accommodating chamber 11b, and surrounds the circumference of the through hole 11c. The portion 1211 is drivingly connected to the connecting shaft 131 of the driving motor 13, and the cover portion 1212 is covered on the outer peripheral side of the convex ring 11g, that is, at least a portion of the convex ring 11g extends into the cover portion 1212, so that the cover portion 1212 surrounds the outer peripheral side of the convex ring 11g, thereby, a water retaining structure can be formed outside the through hole 11c to prevent condensation water from penetrating into the motor accommodating cavity 11b from the through hole 11c, thereby further improving the waterproof effect of the driving motor 13.

[0062] For better waterproofing effect, please refer to Figure 4 The height H of the protruding ring 11g extending into the housing portion 1212 may be greater than or equal to 0.5 mm.

[0063] For further information, see Figure 4 The cover portion 1212 can also gradually expand from the side away from the drive motor 13 to the side close to the drive motor 13, which is equivalent to the cover portion 1212 being inclined relative to the axial center line of the rod portion 1211, and the closer to the drive motor 13, the farther the cover portion 1212 is from the axial center line. As a result, the outer surface of the cover portion 1212 can play a water-guiding role to guide the condensation water dripping onto the outer surface of the cover portion 1212 to flow to other positions that can avoid the through hole 11c.

[0064] In order to achieve better water conduction, for example, please refer to Figure 4 The inclination angle θ of the shell portion 1212 relative to the axial center line of the rod portion 1211 can be greater than 0 degree and less than or equal to 45 degrees.

[0065] In one embodiment, the air outlet panel 10 may also be provided with a thermal insulation coating, which may be a sponge or the like. The thermal insulation coating is coated on the outer surface of the frame 11 located around the motor accommodating cavity 11b to keep the motor accommodating cavity 11b dry and prevent condensation from forming in the motor accommodating cavity 11b due to a cold bridge phenomenon.
