Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0034] As mentioned in the above background technology: the ambient temperature sensor is one of the main accessories in the air conditioner, and the ambient temperature sensor is used to detect the indoor temperature.

[0035] In the related art, after the ambient temperature sensor is fixed to the air conditioner, the cable of the ambient temperature sensor needs to be fixed by adding wire turns inside the air conditioner.

[0036] However, when fixing the cable of the fixed ambient temperature sensor, the turns need to be fixed inside the air conditioner, which not only reduces the efficiency of fixing the ambient temperature sensor, but also the turns may fall off, posing certain potential safety hazards.

[0037] Therefore, in order to improve or solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a fixing structure for the routing of the ambient temperature sensor and an air conditioner. In the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the fixing structure for the routing of the ambient temperature sensor is provided with a through groove on the air duct housing. The opposite ends of the through groove are respectively located on the outside and inside of the air duct housing. When routing the cable, the cable directly passes through the through groove, so that the cable can enter from the outside of the air duct housing to the inside, thereby completing the routing of the ambient temperature sensor. Compared with the prior art where cable clips are used for routing, the present application facilitates the fixing of the cable of the ambient temperature sensor, and after the cable routing is completed, the cable will not fall off.

[0038] Next, the technical solutions shown in the present application will be described in detail through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can exist independently or be combined with each other. For the same or similar content, it will not be repeated in different embodiments.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiments of the present application provide a fixing structure for the routing of the ambient temperature sensor, including an air duct housing 100. The air duct housing 100 has a through groove 200. The opposite ends of the through groove 200 are respectively located on the outside and inside of the air duct housing 100. The through groove 200 is configured to allow the cable of the ambient temperature sensor to pass through, so that the cable enters from the outside of the air duct housing 100 to the inside of the air duct housing 100.

[0040] Among them, the air duct housing 100 is installed on the air conditioner body. A grille is also installed on the air conditioner body. The air duct housing 100 is located between the air conditioner body and the grille. The side of the air duct housing 100 facing the grille is the outside, and the side of the air duct housing 100 facing the air conditioner body is the inside.

[0041] Exemplarily, the ambient temperature sensor is located on the side close to the lower part of the air duct housing 100, and the ambient temperature sensor is located on the outside of the air duct housing 100. The through groove 200 is located on the lower side of the air duct housing 100. One end of the cable is connected to the ambient temperature sensor, and the other end of the cable passes through the through groove 200 and extends to the inside of the air duct housing 100, so that the cable is connected to the power supply line inside the air conditioner.

[0042] Exemplarily, the through groove 200 is a "mouth" - shaped groove, and the through groove 200 and the air duct housing 100 are integrally injection - molded.

[0043] Exemplarily, the width of the through slot 200 is consistent with the diameter of the cable, so that the cable can be stably clamped in the through slot 200 .

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, a through groove 200 is set on the air duct housing 100, and the opposite ends of the through groove 200 are respectively located on the outside and inside of the air duct housing 100. When routing, the cable directly passes through the through groove 200, so that the cable can enter from the outside to the inside of the air duct housing 100, thereby completing the routing of the ambient temperature sensor. Compared with the prior art of using wire clamps for routing, the present application facilitates fixing the cable of the ambient temperature sensor, and after the cable routing is completed, the cable will basically not fall off.

[0045] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The through slot 200 has a notch 210 communicating with the outside, and the notch 210 is configured to allow the cable to enter the through slot 200 .

[0046] Exemplarily, the width of the notch 210 is greater than the diameter of the cable, so that the cable can enter the through slot 200 through the notch 210 .

[0047] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the notch 210 on the through-groove 200 , the cable can enter the through-groove 200 through the notch 210 , which makes it easier for the staff to install the cable into the through-groove 200 .

[0048] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lower end of the through slot 200 is arranged at an incline.

[0049] Exemplarily, the lower end of the through-slot 200 is configured in a crescent shape, so that after the cable is located at the lower end of the through-slot 200 , it is stably clamped in the through-slot 200 .

[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, after the cable is inserted into the through groove 200, the cable is located at the lower end of the through groove 200 under the action of gravity. Since the lower end of the through groove 200 is inclined, the cable can be stably stuck in the through groove 200.

[0051] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner side of the air duct housing 100 has a guide plate 300 , and the guide plate 300 and the air duct housing 100 form a guide groove 310 , and the guide groove 310 is configured for the cable to pass through to limit the direction of the cable.

[0052] The guide plate 300 is located below the through slot 200 to allow the cable to extend downward.

[0053] Exemplarily, the guide groove 310 is arranged in a square shape, and the cable can pass through the guide groove 310, thereby limiting the laying direction of the cable.

[0054] Exemplarily, the guide plate 300 is integrally formed with the air duct housing 100 to form a U-shaped guide groove 310 with an opening arranged horizontally.

[0055] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the guide plate 300 to form the guide groove 310 , the cable laying direction is restricted.

[0056] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guide groove 310 has a side opening 320 , and the side opening 320 is configured to allow the cable to enter the guide groove 310 .

[0057] Exemplarily, the guide groove 310 is an open horizontally arranged U-shaped groove.

[0058] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the side opening 320 on the guide groove 310 , the cable can enter the guide groove 310 through the side opening 320 , thereby facilitating the staff to install the cable into the guide groove 310 .

[0059] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guide plate 300 has an anti-detachment portion 330 on one side facing away from the air duct housing 100 . The anti-detachment portion 330 extends into the guide groove 310 . The anti-detachment portion 330 is configured to restrict the cable from detaching from the guide groove 310 .

[0060] Exemplarily, the anti-slip portion 330 is an anti-slip protrusion, which is arranged on the inner wall of the opening of the guide groove 310. The guide plate 300 has a certain elasticity. When the cable is installed into the guide groove 310, the cable first abuts against the anti-slip protrusion, causing the guide plate 300 to deform until the cable is located in the guide groove 310 and detached from the anti-slip protrusion. Then, the guide plate 300 returns to its initial state, and the anti-slip protrusion restricts the cable from detaching from the guide groove 310.

[0061] By adopting the above technical solution and providing an anti-drop plate on the guide plate 300 , the cable can be restricted from being dropped out of the guide groove 310 , thereby improving the stability of the cable installed in the guide groove 310 .

[0062] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A first mounting pad 220 is provided in the through slot 200, and the first mounting pad 220 is configured to squeeze the cable.

[0063] Illustratively, the first mounting pad 220 is bonded in the through groove 200 .

[0064] Exemplarily, the first mounting pad 220 is an elastic pad, and the shape of the first mounting pad 220 is consistent with the shape of the through groove 200. When the cable is located in the first mounting pad 220, the peripheral wall of the cable abuts against the first mounting pad 220, and the first mounting pad 220 is squeezed and deformed to achieve squeezing and fixing of the cable.

[0065] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the first installation pad 220 , the stability of the cable installed in the through slot 200 is improved.

[0066] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guide groove 310 has a second mounting pad 340 therein, and the second mounting pad 340 is configured to squeeze the cable.

[0067] Illustratively, the second mounting pad 340 is bonded within the guide groove 310 .

[0068] Exemplarily, the second mounting pad 340 is an elastic pad, and the shape of the second mounting pad 340 is consistent with the shape of the guide groove 310. When the cable is located in the second mounting pad 340, the peripheral wall of the cable abuts against the second mounting pad 340, and the second mounting pad 340 is extruded and deformed to achieve extrusion and fixation of the cable.

[0069] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the second installation pad 340 , the stability of the cable installed in the guide groove 310 is improved.

[0070] In some embodiments provided in this application, for example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The through slot 200 and the guide plate 300 are respectively integrally formed with the air duct housing 100 .

[0071] Exemplarily, the through slot 200 and the guide plate 300 are integrally injection-molded with the air duct housing 100 .

[0072] By adopting the above technical solution, the production cost of the fixed structure of the ambient temperature sensor wiring is reduced.

[0075] By adopting the above technical solution, a through groove 200 is set on the air duct housing 100, and the opposite ends of the through groove 200 are respectively located on the outside and inside of the air duct housing 100. When routing, the cable directly passes through the through groove 200, so that the cable can enter from the outside to the inside of the air duct housing 100, thereby completing the routing of the ambient temperature sensor. Compared with the prior art of using wire clamps for routing, the present application facilitates fixing the cable of the ambient temperature sensor, and after the cable routing is completed, the cable will not fall off.
