The conventional selections and substitutions made by those skilled in the art under the guidance of the present invention shall be deemed to be within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0039] Embodiment 1:
[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the utility model discloses an efficient and waterproof installation shell, including an installation shell 1, which is formed by splicing a front shell and a rear shell together, and the figure only shows the front shell, so that an electric control mainboard 8 can be installed inside the spliced installation shell 1 to protect the electric control mainboard 8.
[0041] In addition, a rectangular mounting opening 2 is provided on the front side of the mounting shell 1 in the present embodiment, and the width direction of the rectangular mounting opening 2 is oriented in the left-right direction and the length direction is oriented in the up-down direction, so that the radiator 7 can be arranged at the mounting opening 2. The radiator 7 extends into the mounting shell 1 through the mounting opening 2 and contacts the electronic control main board 8, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the electronic control main board 8 and the inside of the mounting shell 1.
[0042] Preferably, a water retaining rib 3 is protruding from the outer side of the installation shell 1 in this embodiment, and the water retaining rib 3 surrounds the outer circumference of the installation opening 2 so that the radiator 7 abuts against the end surface of the water retaining rib 3 to close the installation opening 2 .
[0043] Therefore, 1. The installation opening 2 is arranged on the horizontal side of the installation shell 1, so that the electronic control main board 8 inside the electronic control box in the assembled state is in an upright state, so that operations such as wiring on both sides of the electronic control main board 8 are more convenient, clear and efficient; 2. The setting of the water retaining rib 3 makes the radiator 7 raised by the water retaining rib 3 when the radiator 7 is arranged on the installation shell 1, so that a height space is formed between the radiator 7 and the surface of the installation shell 1, so that the liquid splashed between the radiator 7 and the water retaining rib 3 is easily guided downward by the outer periphery of the water retaining rib 3, so that the liquid is difficult to break through the gap between the water retaining rib 3 and the radiator 7 to enter the installation opening 2, so that the waterproof effect is better.
[0044] In addition, a mounting groove 4 is provided on the outer side of the mounting shell 1 in this embodiment, and the shape and size of the inner circumferential wall of the mounting groove 4 are adapted to the shape and size of the outer circumferential wall of the radiator 7 to be installed; preferably, the water retaining rib 3 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 4, and a guide groove 41 is formed between the inner circumferential wall of the mounting groove 4 and the outer circumferential wall of the water retaining rib 3.
[0045] Therefore, 1. By setting the mounting groove 4, the radiator 7 is built into the mounting groove 4, so that the splashing liquid cannot directly splash into the gap between the radiator 7 and the water retaining rib 3, so as to prevent the high-speed splashing liquid from impacting the gap between the radiator 7 and the water retaining rib 3 and entering the mounting opening 2; 2. The shape and size of the inner circumferential wall of the mounting groove 4 are adapted to the shape and size of the outer circumferential wall of the radiator 7 to be installed, so that the liquid entering the mounting groove 4 is reduced by reducing the distance between the inner circumferential wall of the mounting groove 4 and the outer circumferential wall of the radiator 7 to be installed; 3. The liquid entering the mounting groove 4 will be guided downward in an orderly and rapid manner under the action of the guide groove 41, thereby achieving the purpose of drainage.
[0046] Specifically, the height of the water retaining rib 3 is h1, and the depth of the installation groove 4 is h2; wherein, 2mm≤h1≤7mm, 4mm≤h2≤15mm; or, wherein, 2h1≤h2≤3h1.
[0047] Specifically, the water retaining rib 3 in this embodiment includes an upper water retaining portion 31 and a side water retaining portion 32. The upper water retaining portion 31 is inclined downward and close to the side water retaining portion 32 so that the upper water retaining portion 31 is used to guide the liquid toward the side water retaining portion 32, and the side water retaining portion 32 is extended downward so that the side water retaining portion 32 is used to guide the liquid downward.
[0048] Preferably, the number of the upper water retaining part 31 and the side water retaining part 32 in this embodiment are both two, and they are arranged in a left-right symmetrical manner, so that the left and right sides of the water retaining rib 3 can guide and discharge the liquid entering the guide groove 41 downward in an orderly and fast manner under the action of the corresponding upper water retaining part 31 and the side water retaining part 32.
[0049] In addition, the side water retaining portion 32 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of auxiliary ribs 33 arranged downwardly, and the auxiliary ribs 33 are inclined downwardly and away from the side water retaining portion 32, so that when the liquid in the guide groove 41 passes through the auxiliary ribs 33, it will be guided by the auxiliary ribs 33 and flow in the direction away from the water retaining ribs 3, thereby further improving the waterproofness between the radiator 7 and the water retaining ribs 3.
[0050] Preferably, the auxiliary ribs 33 in this embodiment are integrally formed with the connecting side water retaining portion 32 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 4 , so that the auxiliary ribs 33 also improve the connection strength between the water retaining rib 3 and the mounting shell 1 .

The overall installation is convenient and the number of parts is smaller. Among them, the installation hole 52 is located above the water retaining rib 3, so that the installation hole 52 is located at a higher position and is not easy to accumulate water, and the limit piece 51 below is not connected to the interior of the installation shell 1, and will not cause leakage.
[0053] Preferably, a guide slope 6 is provided on the outer side of the installation shell 1 in this embodiment below the water retaining rib 3 , and the guide slope 6 is inclined downward and outward so as to guide the liquid out of the installation shell 1 .
