[0049] In one aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a home appliance, the home appliance comprising a housing and a wiring trough structure, wherein the wiring trough structure is disposed in the housing.

[0050] Household appliances include but are not limited to electric water heaters and gas water heaters, etc. The following description will be made taking an electric water heater as an example.

[0051] An electric water heater uses electricity as its main energy source. The high-temperature heat generated after power is turned on directly heats the water stored in the electric water heater to prepare hot water.

[0052] An electric water heater usually includes a water tank, an electric heating component, an electric control board and other components. A water storage cavity is formed in the water tank to store the water to be heated. The electric heating component is inserted into the water storage cavity formed by the water tank. The electric control board is used to control the on and off operation of the electric heating component so that the water in the water tank is heated to a set temperature.

[0053] For the water tank of an electric water heater, the water tank generally includes an outer shell and an inner tank, and an insulation layer is formed between the outer shell and the inner tank. Among them, the outer shell is generally made of plastic material to meet the design requirements of beautiful and diverse shapes; the inner tank can be made of metal or plastic according to needs.

[0054] In addition, the insulation layer formed between the outer shell and the inner liner, commonly used insulation materials include: asbestos, sponge, foam plastic, polyurethane foam, etc. In conventional technology, in order to obtain a good insulation effect, the insulation layer is usually formed by foaming.

[0055] Among them, for the inner tank using a metal tank body, the interior of the inner tank is prone to corrosion due to the influence of water quality. For this reason, a magnesium rod is also configured on the water tank, and the magnesium rod is inserted into the water storage cavity inside the water tank.

[0056] Since magnesium is the metal with the lowest potential in the electrochemical series and is physiologically non-toxic, it is ideal for making magnesium rods to protect the inner liner. The size of the magnesium rod is directly related to the length of time the inner liner is protected and the size of the protective effect. The larger the magnesium rod, the better the protective effect and the longer the protection time.

[0057] The water tank is also provided with a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe. The water inlet pipe is used to transport cold water to the water storage cavity formed in the water tank, while the hot water in the water storage cavity is output from the water outlet pipe.

[0058] For the electric heating component, electric heating methods such as electric heating wire, magnetic energy or silicon tube heating can be used to heat the water stored in the water storage cavity.

[0059] As for the electric control board, it is used to receive the detection signals sent by relevant sensors (such as water temperature sensors, flow sensors), and at the same time, control the power on and off operation of the electric heating components.

[0060] When the electric water heater is working, the electric control board controls the electric heating component to be powered on for heating. When the water temperature in the water tank reaches the set value, the electric control board controls the electric heating component to be powered off.

[0061] In another aspect, combined Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wiring slot structure, which includes a slot head 1 and a slot body 2.

[0077] Exemplarily, the buckle 3 has a plate-like structure, the buckle 3 is parallel to the surface where the bottom wall of the slot body 2 is located, one end of the buckle 3 is connected to the side wall of the slot body 2, and a gap is provided between the other end of the buckle 3 and the other side wall of the slot body 2, so as to facilitate the wiring harness 4 to be bypassed by the buckle 3 and placed in the slot body 2.

[0078] Specifically, the buckle 3 is arc-shaped, polygonal or trapezoidal, and the shape of the buckle 3 includes but is not limited to the above shapes.

[0079] In certain embodiments of the present application, the buckles 3 are staggeredly arranged on two opposite side walls of the groove body 2 .

[0080] Specifically, by staggeredly arranging the buckles 3 on two opposite side walls of the groove body 2, on the one hand, it is convenient to bypass the buckles 3 and place the wire harness 4 into the groove body 2; on the other hand, the staggered arrangement of the buckles 3 can better clamp the wire harness 4 and prevent the wire harness 4 from escaping from the groove body 2.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the partition 11 includes a first plate body 111 and a second plate body 112 .

[0082] The second plate body 112 and the first plate body 111 are spaced apart from each other, and the second plate body 112 and the first plate body 111 are closed and connected at their ends facing away from the groove body 2 .

[0083] Specifically, by setting the first plate body 111 and the second plate body 112, the second plate body 112 and the first plate body 111 are spaced apart, and the second plate body 112 and the first plate body 111 are closed and connected at the ends away from the groove body 2, so that a certain spacing can be ensured between adjacent guide grooves 12, avoiding excessive crowding of adjacent wire harnesses 4 heads, and facilitating the connection of the wire harness 4 with electrical components.

[0084] It should be noted that the distance between adjacent guide grooves 12 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.
