[0034] In order to better understand the above-mentioned technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a wire passing structure is proposed, comprising: a first frame body, a wire passing hole is formed on the inner side of the first frame body; and retaining ribs are arranged at intervals on the hole wall of the wire passing hole and extend in a direction relative to the hole wall.

[0036] It can be understood that the wire-passing structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first frame and retaining ribs. Among them, the first frame can be arranged at the housing of the device, and a wire-passing hole can be formed on the inner side of the first frame. The wire can pass through the wire-passing hole and be connected to the components inside the device. The friction between the wire and the housing can be reduced by the first frame, and the service life of the wire can be extended. The first frame can also fix the wire, which is convenient for sorting. The retaining ribs are arranged at intervals on the hole wall of the wire-passing hole, and the retaining ribs can extend in the direction of the relative hole wall. Such a setting can make the wire-passing structure further improve the fixing effect of the wire, and at the same time, the retaining ribs can block small animals, such as mice, from passing through the wire-passing hole into the housing, gnawing the wire, causing damage to the wire, and affecting the normal operation of the equipment, thereby extending the service life of the wire, reducing the replacement cost, and improving the reliability of the equipment operation, avoiding sudden power failures and causing user losses.

[0037] It is understandable that the retaining ribs can be made of pp (Polypropylene) material to make the retaining ribs flexible. This is to avoid hard contact between the retaining ribs and the wires, which makes it difficult for the wires to pass through the wire holes, and easily causes the retaining ribs to break and the wires to wear, thereby improving the reliability of the wire passing structure and extending its service life. Especially when large-diameter wires pass through the first frame, the retaining ribs are deformed due to their flexibility, and under the action of the rebound force, the end away from the hole wall fits against the wire, thereby improving the fixing effect and the blocking effect for small animals. In addition, by setting multiple retaining ribs at intervals, while ensuring the blocking effect for small animals, the resistance of each retaining rib to the inserted wire is reduced, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing assembly difficulty.

[0038] The size and shape of the first frame and the size of the retaining ribs can be determined according to actual needs. For example, the device can be a ceiling air conditioner, and the wire can be a power cord. An opening can be opened at the shell of the chassis component of the ceiling air conditioner, and the first frame can be arranged at the opening, and the power cord can pass through the first frame to connect to the electrical equipment of the ceiling air conditioner. While fixing the power cord with the retaining ribs, small animals such as mice can be prevented from drilling into the ceiling air conditioner from the first frame, chewing the power cord and damaging the equipment, thereby improving protection.

[0039] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the wire passing structure also includes: a second frame body, which is arranged on one side of the first frame body, and the inner wall of the second frame body and the inner wall of the first frame body jointly form the hole wall of the wire passing hole; a connecting piece, which is arranged at the outer side wall of the second frame body, and is used to connect the second frame body to the opponent piece.

[0040] It is understandable that the wire-passing structure may also be provided with a second frame. Specifically, the second frame may be provided on one side of the first frame, and the inner wall of the second frame is flush with the inner wall of the first frame, together forming the hole wall of the wire-passing hole. In this way, the height dimension of the hole wall may be increased, thereby increasing the position where the retaining ribs are provided at the hole wall, for example, all retaining ribs may be located in the same plane, and may be provided at any position between the first frame and the second frame. Alternatively, multiple retaining ribs may be provided in an interlaced manner and located in different planes.

[0041] It is understandable that a connector may be provided at the outer side wall of the second frame, and the second frame is connected to the counterpart through the connector, thereby connecting the wire-passing structure to the counterpart. This ensures that the wire-passing structure is fixed in position, avoids shaking and being knocked down by small animals, and improves stability. Multiple connectors may be provided, evenly distributed on the outer side wall of the second frame, to ensure that the multiple connectors are evenly stressed and improve the connection strength.

[0042] It is understandable that the outer contour of the second frame will not exceed the outer contour of the first frame, and an opening may be provided at the hand piece, and the size of the opening matches the outer contour of the second frame. In this way, the second frame can be inserted into the opening and fixed to the opening by a connector. The first frame abuts against the housing at the opening so that only the wire hole is exposed at the opening. The height of the first frame is relatively small to avoid protruding too much when installed on the hand piece, affecting the appearance and occupying a large space.

[0043] Exemplarily, the opponent part may be a chassis component of a ceiling air conditioner, an opening may be provided at a shell of the chassis component, and the wire passing structure may be fixed at the opening by a connecting part.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first frame, the second frame and the retaining ribs may be an integrated structure, which may be manufactured by injection molding, thereby improving structural strength and reducing the number of manufacturing steps.

[0045] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned connecting member includes a buckle for buckling into the buckle position of the above-mentioned counterpart.

[0046] It is understandable that the connecting piece can be a buckle structure, and a buckle position can be set at the corresponding position of the opponent, and the buckle can be buckled in the buckle position to connect the wire structure to the opponent. Such a setting makes the connecting piece simple in structure and easy and quick to install. Exemplarily, four buckles can be set, evenly distributed on the outer wall of the second frame.

[0047] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the second frame is formed with a first notch and a second notch, wherein the first notch is located at the side of the buckle, the second notch is located between the buckle and the first frame, and the first notch is connected to the second notch.

[0048] It is understandable that the outer side wall of the second frame body may be formed with a first notch and a second notch. Specifically, the first notch may be arranged on one side of the buckle, and the second notch may be arranged between the buckle and the second frame body. By arranging the first notch and the second notch, the buckle is connected only to the side opposite to the first notch of the second frame body, thereby improving the elasticity of the second frame body at the buckle. In this way, when the buckle is buckled to the buckle position of the opponent, pressure can be applied to the buckle, so that the second frame body at the buckle produces elastic deformation, which is convenient for buckling the buckle to the buckle position, and the installation operation is simple and fast. And after the installation is completed, the second frame body at the buckle is subjected to the effect of its own resilience, and is more tightly buckled at the buckle position, ensuring the connection and tightening, and improving reliability. And the size setting of the first notch and the second notch needs to ensure that the second frame body at the buckle has sufficient elasticity and good structural strength, so as to avoid the situation that the second frame body is torn on the side opposite to the first notch after the buckle is stressed, and the buckle is separated from the outer side wall of the second frame body.

[0049] Exemplarily, the side wall of the second frame body may be disconnected at the first notch, and the first notch and the second notch may be combined to form an “L”-shaped notch.

[0050] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first frame body is an elliptical ring body, and the contour of the second frame body is consistent with the contour shape of the first frame body.

[0051] It is understandable that both the first frame and the second frame can be selected from an elliptical ring body, and the contours of the first frame and the second frame are consistent. Considering that the cross section of the wire is usually circular, if the inner side wall contours of the first frame and the second frame are both rectangular, the wire hole will be a rectangular hole, and the wire with a larger wire diameter cannot be placed at the corners of the hole wall of the rectangular hole, affecting the wire passing area of ​​the wire hole. Therefore, the inner contours of the first frame and the second frame are both set to an ellipse, and the ellipse has an arc segment and a straight line segment. The length and width of the straight line segment can be determined according to the number and size of the wires to be inserted as needed, and the wire can still be placed at the arc segment, and there will be no corners where the wire cannot be inserted, thereby increasing the wire passing amount of the wire passing structure. And because there are no edges and corners, the wire will not be worn, which improves the protection of the wire. And the shape of the outer contour of the first frame and the second frame is the same as the shape of the inner contour, which improves the aesthetics while reducing the consumption of materials.

[0052] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the retaining ribs at the arc section of the wire-passing hole extend toward the center of the arc section, and the included angles of adjacent retaining ribs are equal.

[0053] It is understandable that a retaining rib may also be provided at the arc section of the wire hole, and one end of the retaining rib at the arc section may be connected to the inner wall of the arc section, and the other end may extend toward the center of the arc section. This ensures that the arc section can pass the wire while preventing small animals such as mice from drilling into the arc section and biting the wire, and improves the fixing effect of the wire at the arc section, thereby further improving the protection effect of the wire. The angles of adjacent retaining ribs are equal, so that multiple retaining ribs are evenly distributed in the arc section, so that each retaining rib has a balanced fixing effect on the wire, and avoids the arc section where there are fewer retaining ribs, resulting in blocking dead angles, thereby improving reliability.

[0054] In some examples, at the arc segment, the included angle between adjacent ribs is 30° to 60°.

[0055] It is understandable that, at the arc section, if the ribs are too sparsely distributed, the blocking effect of the ribs will be weak, and it will not be possible to prevent small animals such as mice from passing through the wire structure and chewing the wires. If the ribs are too densely distributed, on the one hand, it will lead to an increase in material costs, and on the other hand, it will make it difficult for the wires to pass through. Therefore, at the arc section, the angle between adjacent ribs is set to 30° to 60°. While ensuring that the wires can pass through smoothly, it prevents small animals such as mice from passing through, thereby improving the protection of the wires passing through the arc section.

[0056] In some examples, in the radial direction of the above-mentioned arc segment, the extension dimension of the above-mentioned retaining rib is smaller than the radius dimension of the above-mentioned arc segment; in the axial direction of the above-mentioned arc segment, the dimension of the above-mentioned retaining rib is less than or equal to 2.2mm; the width dimension of the above-mentioned retaining rib is greater than or equal to 1.5mm and less than or equal to 5mm; in the non-arc segment of the above-mentioned wire hole, the gap dimension between adjacent above-mentioned retaining ribs is greater than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 8mm.

[0057] It is understandable that in the radial direction of the arc segment, if the length of the retaining rib is too long, the retaining ribs on the walls of the two sides of the wire hole will interfere with each other, causing the retaining ribs to be lifted or misplaced, affecting the wire passing through. Therefore, the extension size of the retaining rib is set to be less than or equal to the radius size of the arc segment to ensure that there is a gap between the retaining ribs on the walls of the two sides of the wire hole, and there is a gap between the retaining ribs at the arc segment and the straight segment, which is convenient for the wire to pass through. In addition, the extension length of the retaining rib should not be too short, resulting in a large gap, which affects the blocking effect on small animals such as mice.

[0058] It is understandable that, in the axial direction of the arc segment, if the thickness of the retaining rib is too thick, the flexibility of the retaining rib will be poor, affecting the wire passing through, and increasing the material cost. Therefore, the thickness of the retaining rib is set to be less than or equal to 2.2 mm to ensure the flexibility of the retaining rib and facilitate the wire passing through.

[0059] It is understandable that if the width of the rib is too small, the blocking effect of the rib will be weak, affecting the blocking effect on small animals such as mice. If the width of the rib is too wide, the flexibility of the rib will be poor, affecting the passage of wires and increasing material costs. Therefore, the width of the rib is set to be greater than or equal to 1.5 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm, while ensuring that the rib has a certain flexibility to facilitate the passage of wires, while ensuring the blocking effect on small animals such as mice and reducing material costs.

[0060] It is understandable that if the gap between adjacent ribs is too large, the ribs will be too sparsely distributed, and the blocking effect of all ribs on small animals such as mice will be poor. If the gap between adjacent ribs is too small, the ribs will be too densely distributed, affecting the passage of wires. Therefore, the gap between adjacent ribs is greater than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 8mm. This facilitates the passage of wires while ensuring the blocking effect on small animals such as mice.

[0061] In summary, under the joint effect of the above-mentioned multiple parameters of the retaining ribs, the blocking effect of the retaining ribs can be ensured while facilitating the passage of wires, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the wire passing structure.

[0062] In some examples, the above-mentioned line-passing structure includes a pp line-passing structure.

[0063] It can be understood that the first frame, the second frame, the retaining ribs and the buckles of the wire passing structure can be made of PP material to have good flexibility to facilitate the passage of the wire, and the end of the retaining rib away from the hole wall of the wire passing hole can be affected by its own elastic force and adhere to the surface of the wire. While fixing the wire, it can reduce the gap of the wire passing hole, prevent small animals such as mice from passing through the wire hole to bite the wire, and improve the protection effect on the wire.

[0064] According to the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application, an air conditioner is provided, comprising: a wire passing structure as described in any one of the above technical solutions, so that all the beneficial effects of the above wire passing structure are achieved, which will not be described in detail here.

[0065] It is understandable that the air conditioner can be a ceiling air conditioner, including a panel component, an electric control box component, an air guide ring, a water tray component, a centrifugal fan, a water pump component, a motor component, an evaporator component and a chassis component. Among them, the motor component can drive the centrifugal fan to rotate, sucking indoor air into the ceiling air conditioner, and after heat exchange with the evaporator component, it is guided by the air guide ring and blown out from the panel component to adjust the indoor ambient temperature. The side wall of the chassis component can be opened with an opening, and the wire passing structure can be fixed to the opening through a connector, and the first frame can fit the contour of the opening. The power cord assembly of all electrical components of the ceiling air conditioner can pass through the wire passing hole and be connected to an external socket. The wire passing structure can prevent small animals such as mice from entering the chassis component from the opening to gnaw the power cord and components, thereby improving the protection effect.
