[0026] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 An electric control box and an air conditioner according to some embodiments of the present application are described.

[0027] The present application provides an electric control box, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the electric control box includes an electric control box body 1 and an electric control box cover 2. A receiving space is formed in the electric control box body 1 for placing electric control components such as reactors and control boards. The electric control box cover 2 is used to buckle with the open portion of the upper end of the electric control box body 1.

[0028] The opposite sides of the electric control box cover 2 in the first direction a are the left and right sides of the electric control box cover 2, a limit piece is provided on the left side of the electric control box cover 2, and a snap-fit ​​piece is provided on the right side of the electric control box cover 2; the opposite sides of the electric control box body 1 in the first direction a are the left and right sides of the electric control box body 1, a limit fitting piece is provided on the left side of the electric control box body 1, and a snap-fit ​​fitting piece is provided on the right side of the electric control box body 1.

[0029] On the left side of the electric control box, the electric control box cover 2 can cooperate with the limiting matching piece on the electric control box body 1 through the limiting piece, so as to connect the left side of the electric control box cover 2 with the left side of the electric control box body 1 along the first direction a, the second direction b and the buckling direction of the electric control box cover 2; wherein the second direction b is perpendicular to the first direction a and the buckling direction of the electric control box cover 2, and when the opening of the electric control box body 1 faces upward, the buckling direction of the electric control box cover 2 is the up and down direction, the first direction a is the horizontal left and right direction, and the second direction b is the horizontal front and back direction.

[0030] After the electric control box cover 2 is connected to the electric control box body 1 at the limit position on the left side, on the right side of the electric control box, the snap-in parts on the electric control box cover 2 can be aligned with and adapted to snap-in with the snap-in fitting parts on the electric control box body 1, thereby completing the assembly of the electric control box cover 2 and the electric control box body 1. Compared with the assembly method using multiple fastening screws, while ensuring the fixing strength, it can improve the assembly efficiency to a certain extent and reduce the production cost.

[0031] Regarding the limiting member on the electric control box cover 2 and the limiting matching member on the electric control box body 1, in one embodiment of the present application, the limiting matching member includes one of the adaptable plug-in slot 11 and the limiting plate 23, and the limiting member includes the other of the slot 11 and the limiting plate 23.

[0032] For example, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the slot 11 is arranged on the left side of the electric control box body 1, and the insertion opening of the slot 11 faces the right side in the horizontal direction. The limiting piece 23 is arranged on the left side of the electric control box cover 2 and extends toward the left side in the horizontal direction.

[0033] When the electric control box cover 2 is connected to the left side of the electric control box body 1, the limiting piece 23 can be inserted into the slot 11 through the socket of the slot 11, and the size of the limiting piece 23 along the second direction b is adapted to the size of the slot 11 along the second direction b, so that after the limiting piece 23 is inserted into the slot 11, the limiting piece 23 is limited in the slot 11 along the second direction b, thereby realizing the limitation of the installation position of the electric control box cover 2 in the second direction b.

[0034] At the same time, the slot 11 has a relatively high height along the buckling direction of the electric control box cover 2, so that when the left side of the electric control box cover 2 is installed first, the limiting piece 23 can be obliquely inserted into the slot 11; when the right side of the electric control box cover 2 is snapped with the electric control box body 1, the limiting piece 23 can be returned to the center and abut against the top of the slot 11, thereby limiting the installation position of the electric control box cover 2 in the buckling direction.

[0035] For another example, the slot 11 may be disposed on the left side of the electric control box cover 2, with the insertion opening of the slot 11 facing the left side, and the limiting piece 23 is disposed on the left side of the electric control box body 1 and extends horizontally toward the right side.

[0036] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting fitting provided on the electric control box body 1 also includes a stop protrusion 12. When the limiting piece 23 is inserted into the slot 11, the outer wall on the left side of the electric control box cover 2 can abut against the stop protrusion 12 to indicate that the limiting piece 23 is inserted into place. At the same time, the installation position of the electric control box body 1 in the first direction a is also limited by the stop protrusion 12.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present application, the electric control box cover 2 is provided with a plurality of limit members on the left side, and the plurality of limit members are arranged at intervals along the second direction b. The electric control box body 1 is also provided with a plurality of limit fitting members on the left side, and the plurality of limit fitting members are arranged at intervals along the second direction b. The plurality of limit fitting members are arranged relatively to the plurality of limit members in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the connection between the electric control box cover 2 and the electric control box body 1 on the left side and the stability of the limit are achieved through the cooperation between the plurality of limit members and the limit fitting members.

[0038] Regarding the snap-fitting parts on the electric control box cover 2 and the snap-fitting fitting parts on the electric control box body 1, in one embodiment of the present application, the snap-fitting parts include an elastic snap-fitting 21 and one of the snap-fitting protrusions 13, and the snap-fitting fitting parts include the other of the elastic snap-fitting 21 and the snap-fitting protrusions 13.

[0039] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the snap-fitting fittings on the electric control box body 1 include a snap-fitting protrusion 13, and the snap-fitting fittings on the electric control box cover 2 include an elastic snap buckle 21. After completing the limited connection between the electric control box cover 2 and the electric control box body 1 on the left side, pressing the right side of the electric control box cover 2 toward the electric control box body 1 can make the elastic snap buckle 21 snap into the snap-fitting protrusion 13, thereby completing the connection between the electric control box cover 2 and the electric control box body 1 on the right side, and also completing the overall assembly of the electric control box cover 2 on the electric control box body 1.

[0040] Specifically, in the actual assembly process, the limiting piece 23 on the left side of the electric control box cover 2 is first obliquely inserted into the slot 11 on the left side of the electric control box body 1 until the outer wall of the electric control box cover 2 on the left side abuts against the limiting protrusion on the electric control box body 1; then the electric control box cover 2 is pressed toward the direction of the electric control box body 1, so that the elastic buckle 21 on the right side of the electric control box cover 2 is engaged with the engaging protrusion 13 on the electric control box body 1, thereby completing the overall assembly of the electric control box cover 2 and the electric control box body 1. The entire assembly process is simple, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency and reduces the production cost.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, the electric control box cover 2 is provided with a plurality of snap-fitting parts on the right side, and the plurality of snap-fitting parts are arranged at intervals along the second direction b. The electric control box body 1 is also provided with a plurality of snap-fitting fittings on the right side, and the plurality of snap-fitting fittings are arranged at intervals along the second direction b. The plurality of snap-fitting fittings are arranged relatively to the plurality of snap-fitting parts in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the electric control box cover 2 and the electric control box body 1 can be stably connected by mutual cooperation between the plurality of snap-fitting parts and the snap-fitting fittings.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, the limiting member and the snap-fitting member are integrally formed on the electric control box cover 2, and the limiting fitting member and the snap-fitting fitting member are integrally formed on the electric control box body 1, thereby facilitating processing and reducing processing costs.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the electric control box body 1 is also provided with a fastening screw hole 14, the electric control box cover 2 is provided with a mounting member 22, and the mounting member 22 is provided with a through hole. When the electric control box cover 2 is buckled on the electric control box body 1, the through hole on the mounting member 22 is coaxially opposite to the fastening screw hole 14, so that a fastening screw can be passed therebetween, thereby the fastening screw cooperates with the above-mentioned electric control box cover 2 and the electric control box body 1 to be connected at the limit on the left side and to be connected by the clamping on the right side, so that the connection between the electric control box cover 2 and the electric control box body 1 is more secure.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the electric control box body 1 is also provided with screw installation holes for whole machine installation, and the electric control box cover 2 is provided with screwdriver avoidance grooves 24 at positions opposite to the screw installation holes, so as to facilitate fixing the electric control box as a whole to the air conditioner.

[0045] The present application also provides an air conditioner, comprising an electric control box according to any of the above embodiments.

[0046] In this embodiment, the air conditioner includes an electric control box, so the air conditioner has all the beneficial effects of the electric control box, which will not be described in detail here.
