[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0043] Reference Figure 1As shown, the electric control box 1000 provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises a box body 100, the box body 100 is a roughly rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the box body 100 has a length direction, a width direction and a height direction. It should be noted that the length direction, the width direction and the height direction are three directions perpendicular to each other. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the following embodiments are described in detail by taking the length direction as the left-right direction, the width direction as the front-back direction, and the height direction as the up-down direction as an example. In other embodiments, according to the actual installation position of the electric control box 1000, the length direction, width direction, and height direction of the electric control box 1000 may also correspond to other directions.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the box body 100 is provided with a groove 110, and the groove 110 is formed on the surface of the box body 100. The groove 110 can be understood as a wiring groove, and the groove 110 can accommodate electric wires. The groove 110 extends in the left-right direction, and the groove 110 extends from the left side of the box body 100 to the right side of the box body 100. It can also be understood that the groove 110 penetrates the box body 100 in the left-right direction, and the box body 100 is respectively formed with openings connected to the groove 110 on the left and right sides, and the electric wire can directly pass into the groove 110 from the opening in the left-right direction. A notch 111 is formed on the upper surface of the box body 100, and the notch 111 is connected to the groove 110. The notch 111 is extended in the left-right direction. In the left-right direction, the length of the notch 111 can be the same as the length of the groove 110. Refer to Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the groove 110 includes a bottom wall 112, and the bottom wall 112 is arranged facing the notch 111. The electric control box 1000 also includes a limiting structure 200, which is located in the groove 110. The limiting structure 200 can be a buckle structure or a wire buckle structure. The limiting structure 200 can limit the wire from being separated from the groove 110. The limiting structure 200 can also be a boss structure, which protrudes from the inner wall of the groove 110 and can clamp the wire. In some embodiments, the limiting structure 200 can be a baffle structure, which can extend in the front-to-back direction, and the limiting structure 200 is connected to the inner wall of the groove 110. The limiting structure 200 can limit the wire from being separated from the notch 111. It can also be understood that the limiting structure 200 covers the position of the notch 111, and in the front-to-back direction, the length of the limiting structure 200 can be less than the length of the groove 110.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting the groove 110 on the box body 100, the wire routing is realized through the groove 110. Setting the groove 110 is equivalent to removing part of the material of the box body 100. The groove 110 will not cause the size of the box body 100 to increase. The groove 110 has a limiting effect on the wire, which can limit the wire from leaving the box body 100 in the front-to-back direction. The limiting structure 200 is located in the groove 110, and the limiting structure 200 will not cause the size of the box body 100 to increase. Specifically, the length of the box body 100 in the front-to-back direction can be reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the electric control box 1000. It can also be understood that the buckle structure used to clamp the wire on the periphery of the electric control box 1000 can be omitted in this embodiment, and the electric control box 1000 can make full use of the internal space of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2000. A PCB board with a larger area can be used inside the electric control box 1000, and more components can be placed inside the electric control box 1000 to achieve more electric control functions. In this embodiment, when installing the wires, the wires can be directly inserted into the groove 110 along the left and right directions. The wires are located between the limiting structure 200 and the bottom wall 112. The limiting structure 200 can limit the wires so that the wires are not easily separated from the groove 110 from the notch 111.

[0046] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the limiting structure 200 is extended in the front-to-back direction, and the upper end surface of the limiting structure 200 is flush with the upper end surface of the box body 100, so that the limiting structure 200 does not protrude from the outside of the box body 100 and does not cause the size of the box body 100 in the up and down directions to increase.

[0047] It can be understood that in some embodiments, one end of the limiting structure 200 is connected to the inner wall of the groove 110, and there is a gap between the other end of the limiting structure 200 and the bottom wall 112, which can facilitate the wires to pass through the gap and be inserted into the groove 110, thereby facilitating the installation of the wires. At the same time, the limiting structure 200 also plays a limiting role on the wires.

[0048] It can be understood that in some embodiments, one end of the limiting structure 200 can be connected to the bottom wall 112, and there is a distance between the other end of the limiting structure 200 and the bottom wall 112. The limiting structure 200 is a hook-shaped structure, and the limiting structure 200 can hook the wire, making it difficult for the wire to escape from the groove 110 from the notch 111.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the groove 110 includes a first side wall 113 and a second side wall 114 that are arranged opposite to each other. It can be understood that the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 are parallel to each other, the first side wall 113 and the second side wall 114 are perpendicular to the bottom wall 112, the length direction of the first side wall 113 and the length direction of the second side wall 114 are the left-right direction, and the height direction of the first side wall 113 and the height direction of the second side wall 114 are the up-down direction. In some embodiments, one end of the limiting structure 200 can be connected to the first side wall 113, and the other end of the limiting structure 200 can be connected to the second side wall 114, so that the limiting structure 200 can better block the slot 111, so that the wires in the groove 110 are not easily detached from the slot 111. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some other embodiments, one end of the limiting structure 200 is connected to the first side wall 113, and the other end of the limiting structure 200 is spaced apart from the second side wall 114. The space allows the wire to enter the groove 110. There are many ways to install the wire. When the operating space is limited, the wire can be inserted into the groove 110 through the space between the limiting structure 200 and the second side wall 114. Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the wire passes through the limiting structure 200 from top to bottom and is inserted into the groove 110.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to reserve space for wiring, the width of the groove 110 is set larger in the front-to-back direction. The width of the groove 110 is greater than the outer diameter of the wire, which is convenient for installing multiple wires. The wires will move in the front-to-back direction in the groove 110.

[0051] Based on this, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting structure 200 includes a first baffle 210, the first baffle 210 is extended substantially in the front-back direction, one end of the first baffle 210 is connected to the first side wall 113, and the first baffle 210 is provided with a first bending portion 211 at one end away from the first side wall 113, and the first bending portion 211 is bent toward the bottom wall 112 of the groove 110. The first bending portion 211 can block the wire and limit the wire, so that the wire is not easy to move forward. In addition, the first bending portion 211 does not protrude from the outside of the box body 100, and does not increase the size of the box body 100. There is a gap between the end of the first baffle 210 and the second side wall 114, so that the wire can pass through and turn into the groove 110. In addition, there is also a gap between the first bending portion 211 and the bottom wall 112, and when installing the wire, it is convenient for the wire to pass through the gap and be inserted into the groove 110.

[0052] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the limiting structure 200 further includes a second baffle 220. The first baffle 210 and the second baffle 220 are spaced apart along the left-right direction of the box body 100. The first baffle 210 can be located only at the right end of the groove 110, and the second baffle 220 can be located only at the left end of the groove 110. One end of the second baffle 220 is connected to the second side wall 114. The second baffle 220 is provided with a second bent portion 221 at one end away from the second side wall 114. The second bent portion 221 is bent toward the bottom wall 112 of the groove 110. Along the front-to-back direction of the box body 100, there is a spacing between the first bent portion 211 and the second bent portion 221, and the spacing between the first bent portion 211 and the second side wall 114 is smaller than the spacing between the second bent portion 221 and the second side wall 114. It can also be understood that in the front-to-back direction, the first bent portion 211 moves forward past the second bent portion 221. The position of the folded portion 221, the first folded portion 211 is located in front of the second folded portion 221, and viewed from the left side of the box body, part of the structure of the first baffle 210 overlaps with part of the structure of the second baffle 220, and a limiting space 230 for the wire is formed between the first folded portion 211 and the second folded portion 221. The front end surface of the first folded portion 211 will block the wire, thereby limiting the wire from moving backward, and the rear end surface of the second folded portion 221 will block the wire, thereby limiting the wire from moving forward, thereby limiting the wire in the front and rear directions and preventing the wire from moving freely.

[0053] It can be understood that the first baffle 210 and the second baffle 220 of the above embodiment are cantilever structures, so that the first baffle 210 and the second baffle 220 have a certain elasticity, and the first baffle 210 and the second baffle 220 can produce a certain deformation, which facilitates the wire to be loaded into the groove 110 from the gap between the first baffle 210 and the second side wall 114 or from the gap between the second baffle 220 and the first side wall 113. In some embodiments, the number of the first baffle 210 and the number of the second baffle 220 can be multiple, and the multiple first baffles 210 and the second baffle 220 can be arranged alternately in the left and right direction.

[0054] In some embodiments, the limiting structure 200 and the box body 100 are an integral structure, made by an integral molding process, and can be specifically made by an integral injection molding process. The limiting structure 200 and the box body 100 are separate structures, the limiting structure 200 and the box body 100 are two separate parts, and the limiting structure 200 is connected to the box body 100 by a buckle or a fastener.

[0055] It should be noted that the electric control box 1000 of the above embodiment can be used in different types of equipment, for example, it can be used in electrical equipment such as air conditioner outdoor units, air conditioners, duct units or refrigerators, which can help miniaturize electrical equipment.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, some embodiments of the utility model further provide an air-conditioning outdoor unit 2000, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 2000 includes a box body 600, a bracket 300, a fan assembly 400, the electrical control box 1000 of the above embodiment, an electric wire 500 and a condenser, the bracket 300, the fan assembly 400, the electrical control box 1000, the electric wire 500 and the condenser are all installed in the box body 600, the fan assembly 400 is installed on the bracket 300, the fan assembly 400 is used to dissipate heat from the condenser, the fan assembly 400 includes a fan blade 410 and a drive motor 420, the electric wire 500 is connected to the drive motor 420, the electric wire 500 can be understood as a motor wire, and the electric wire 500 needs to be connected to the wiring terminal in the electrical control box 1000 to power the drive motor 420 or execute related control logic. The wire 500 is installed in the groove 110 of the electric control box 1000. Since the groove 110 will not cause the size of the electric control box 1000 to change, it is beneficial to miniaturize the electric control box 1000, reduce the size of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 2000, reduce manufacturing costs, and allow the air-conditioning outdoor unit 2000 to adapt to more installation environments. Alternatively, the electric control box 1000 can make full use of the internal space of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 2000, and a larger PCB board can be used inside the electric control box 1000, so that more components can be placed inside the electric control box 1000 to achieve more electric control functions.

[0057] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the electric control box 1000 is horizontally arranged at the top position of the box body 600, and the electric control box 1000 is located at the upper right of the driving motor 420. Since the wire 500 needs to be led from the position of the driving motor 420 to the position of the electric control box 1000, the wire 500 needs to be bent. Specifically, the wire 500 generally includes a horizontal section 510 and a vertical section 520 connected to each other. The horizontal section 510 generally extends in the left-right direction, and the vertical section 520 generally extends in the up-down direction. The left end of the horizontal section 510 is connected to the upper end of the vertical section 520. It can be understood that the wire 500 is bent 90 degrees. Based on this, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 300 includes a frame body 310 and a support plate 320. The frame body 310 is the main structure of the bracket 300. The bracket 300 is extended roughly along the up and down directions. The fan assembly 400 is connected to the frame body 310, and the support plate 320 is used to support the wires 500. Specifically, the support plate 320 is extended in the up-down direction, and one side of the support plate 320 is connected to the frame 310. It can be understood that the support plate 320 is perpendicular to the frame 310. The horizontal section 510 of the wire 500 is mounted on the upper end of the support plate 320, and the vertical section 520 of the wire 500 is located on the left side of the support plate 320. The horizontal section 510 of the wire 500 is located in the groove 110 of the electric control box 1000. The horizontal section 510 is also mounted on the upper end of the support plate 320. The support plate 320 can provide support for the horizontal section 510 to prevent the wire 500 from hanging in the air, reduce the pulling force on the wire 500, and protect the wire 500.

[0058] Reference Figure 7 and Fig.13 As shown, in some embodiments, a recess 321 is provided at the upper end of the support plate 320, and the recess 321 is recessed downward. The horizontal section 510 of the wire 500 is located in the recess 321. The recess 321 can limit the wire 500, so that the wire 500 is not easily separated from the support plate 320. In addition, the wire 500 can be directly placed in the recess 321 from top to bottom. Compared with the solution of setting a limiting hole on the support plate 320, it is necessary to insert the wire 500 horizontally into the limiting hole, and a larger operating space is required. The installation operation of this embodiment is relatively more convenient, and the wire 500 can be inserted into the recess 321 from top to bottom, and a smaller operating space is required.

[0059] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional contour line of the recess 321 may be in a square, semicircular, semi-elliptical or arc shape, etc., which is more compatible with the shape of the wire 500 and can enhance the limiting effect.

[0060] Reference Fig.12 and Fig.13As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the recess 321 includes a third side wall 3211, a fourth side wall 3212 and an arc wall 3213, and the third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 are relatively arranged. It can be understood that the third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 are extended in the up and down directions, the third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 are parallel to each other, and the third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 are both planes. The third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 are both located above the arc wall 3213, one end of the arc wall 3213 is connected to the third side wall 3211, and the other end of the arc wall 3213 is connected to the fourth side wall 3212, the distance between the third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 is smaller than the inner diameter of the arc wall 3213, the distance between the third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 is smaller than the outer diameter of the wire 500, and the horizontal section 510 of the wire 500 is located in the arc wall 3213. The recess 321 of this embodiment can also be understood as a roughly U-shaped structure, because the distance between the third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 is small, the wire 500 can be blocked, thereby limiting the wire 500 from escaping from the recess 321 upward. It should be noted that, since the wire 500 is made of soft material and has a certain elasticity, when installing the wire 500, the wire 500 can be pressed downward to allow the wire 500 to pass through the third side wall 3211 and the fourth side wall 3212 and thus be stuck in the arc wall 3213.

[0061] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the bracket 300 is a sheet metal structure, and the structure on the bracket 300 can be made by sheet metal stamping or sheet metal bending technology, which can facilitate manufacturing and reduce costs.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a first flange 3214 is provided at the edge of the recess 321, and the first flange 3214 is located on the side of the support plate 320 away from the vertical section 520. It can also be understood that the wire 500 is located on the left side of the support plate 320, and the first flange 3214 is located on the right side of the support plate 320. The first flange 3214 can be understood as a stacked edge structure, which is a bend at the edge or inside of the plate to form a turned-up edge. It can also be understood that the first flange 3214 is formed by folding the edge of the recess 321 to the right. The first flange 3214 can be manufactured by a sheet metal bending process. The first flange 3214 can make the edge of the recess 321 smoother, which is equivalent to folding the sharp outer edge of the edge of the recess 321 to the right, which can avoid the sharp outer edge from scratching the wire 500 and protect the wire 500.

[0063] Reference Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 300 includes a wire pressing structure 330, which is extended in the up-down direction, one side of the wire pressing structure 330 is connected to the frame 310, the wire pressing structure 330 and the support plate 320 are spaced apart, the vertical section 520 is located between the support plate 320 and the wire pressing structure 330, the vertical section 520 of the wire 500 is located between the support plate 320 and the wire pressing structure 330, the wire pressing structure 330 is extended in the up-down direction, the support plate 320 is located on the right side of the wire pressing structure 330, and the wire pressing structure 330 is located on the left side of the support plate 320. The wire pressing structure 330 has an open state and a wire pressing state, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the wire pressing structure 330 is in an open state. At this time, the wire pressing structure 330 faces the support plate 320. It can also be understood that the wire pressing structure 330 and the support plate 320 are arranged opposite to each other, and a limiting groove 340 for limiting the vertical section 520 is formed between the wire pressing structure 330 and the support plate 320. The wire pressing structure 330 is located on the left side of the vertical section 520, and the support plate 320 is located on the right side of the vertical section 520, which can limit the vertical section 520 from moving in the left and right directions. Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the wire pressing structure 330 is in the wire pressing state. Compared with the open state, the wire pressing structure 330 is bent toward the wire 500. It can also be understood that the wire pressing structure 330 is bent about 90 degrees to the right around the axis parallel to the up and down direction, so that the wire pressing structure 330 faces the frame 310, so that the wire pressing structure 330 can press the vertical section 520 of the wire 500, and play a fixed limit role on the wire 500, so that the wire 500 is not easy to move. It should be noted that the wire pressing structure 330 can produce local deformation, and it can also be understood that the wire pressing structure 330 can be bent repeatedly, so that the wire pressing structure 330 can be repeatedly switched between the wire pressing state and the open state. In some embodiments, it can be that the connection between the wire pressing structure 330 and the frame 310 can produce a large deformation. It can be understood that the wire pressing structure 330 and the bracket 300 are an integral structure, and the wire pressing structure 330 can be made by processes such as sheet metal stamping or sheet metal bending.

[0064] Reference Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments, in the vertical direction, the length of the wire pressing structure 330 can be less than the length of the support plate 320, which facilitates the manufacture of the wire pressing structure 330. In order to improve the limiting effect of the vertical section 520, multiple wire pressing structures 330 can be provided, and the multiple wire pressing structures 330 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction.

[0065] Reference Fig.12 and Fig.13As shown, in some embodiments, the wire pressing structure 330 includes a wire pressing portion 331 and a connecting portion 332. The connecting portion 332 connects the wire pressing portion 331 and the frame 310. The degree of deformation that the connecting portion 332 can produce is greater than that of the wire pressing portion 331. The wire pressing structure 330 is switched between the open state and the wire pressing state mainly by the deformation of the connecting portion 332. When the wire pressing structure 330 is in the open state, the wire pressing portion 331 faces the support plate 320. When the wire pressing structure 330 is in the wire pressing state, the wire pressing portion 331 faces the frame 310. The wire pressing portion 331 presses the vertical section 520 of the wire 500 against the frame 310. Fig.13 As shown, in some embodiments, along the vertical direction, the length of the connecting portion 332 is less than the length of the wire pressing portion 331, so that the connecting portion 332 is easier to deform, and the operation is more labor-saving when the wire pressing portion 331 is pressed and bent. There can be multiple connecting portions 332, and the multiple connecting portions 332 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. When one of the connecting portions 332 is broken due to repeated bending, there are still other connecting portions 332 that can connect the wire pressing portion 331 and the frame 310, ensuring that the wire pressing structure 330 is bent more times and improving durability.

[0066] Reference Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in some embodiments, a second flange 333 is provided at the edge of the wire pressing structure 330, and the second flange 333 is located on the side of the wire pressing structure 330 away from the vertical section 520. The second flange 333 is consistent with the wire outlet direction of the horizontal section 510. It can also be understood that the wire 500 is located on the right side of the wire pressing structure 330, and the second flange 333 is located on the left side of the wire pressing structure 330. The second flange 333 can be understood as a stacked edge structure, which is a bend generated at the edge or inside of the plate to form a turned-up edge. It can be understood that the second flange 333 is formed by folding the edge of the wire pressing structure 330 to the right. The second flange 333 can be manufactured by a sheet metal bending process. The second flange 333 can make the edge of the wire pressing structure 330 smoother, which is equivalent to folding the sharp outer edge to the right, which can avoid the sharp outer edge from scratching the wire 500 and protect the wire 500. In addition, the second flange 333 can also prevent the assembler from scratching his fingers when pressing the wire pressing structure 330, thus playing a protective role.
