[0043] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the present utility model provides an outlet hole sealing assembly 30 for an outdoor unit 100 of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) device. The outdoor unit 100 of the HVAC device includes a top cover assembly 10, a wiring harness, and a box body 20. The top cover assembly 10 is disposed on the top of the box body 20 and encloses an outlet hole 21 with the box body 20. The wiring harness passes through the outlet hole 21. The outlet hole sealing assembly 30 includes an elastic sleeve 31 and a protective sleeve 32. The elastic sleeve 31 has a wire passing hole 311 for the wiring harness to pass through. The wire passing hole 311 axially penetrates the elastic sleeve 31. The elastic sleeve 31 further has a cut 312. Along the radial direction of the wire passing hole 311, one side of the cut 312 communicates with the wire passing hole 311, and the other side of the cut 312 extends to the outer peripheral surface of the elastic sleeve 31. And along the axial direction of the wire passing hole 311, the extending length of the cut 312 is the same as the length of the wire passing hole 311. The protective sleeve 32 is detachably sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the elastic sleeve 31, and the protective sleeve 32 fits with the outer peripheral surface of the elastic sleeve 31.
[0044] It is understandable that the elastic sleeve 31 can be a cylindrical sleeve made of elastic materials such as sponge or rubber. The elastic sleeve 31 is hollow to form a threading hole 311, and the shape of the threading hole 311 is adapted to the wire harness to be threaded. The sleeve body on the radial side of the threading hole 311 is provided with a cutout 312, and the cutout 312 penetrates the radial side of the threading hole 311 along the radial direction of the threading hole 311, and penetrates the sleeve body along the axial direction of the elastic sleeve 31, so that the wire harness can be conveniently pressed and installed into the threading hole 311 from the cutout 312. The protective sleeve 32 can be cylindrical and made of waterproof materials, such as plastic film. The protective sleeve 32 can be cylindrical, and the elastic sleeve 31 is inserted into the protective sleeve 32 to achieve the fixation of the two. The protective sleeve 32 can also be a cylindrical structure formed by butting at both ends, and the connection can be disconnected, for example, the two ends of the protective sleeve 32 are connected by gluing or sewing, so that the protective sleeve 32 can be easily disassembled, and then the elastic sleeve 31 or the protective sleeve 32 can be easily repaired and replaced. It can also reduce the damage to the elastic sleeve 31 caused by repeated bonding of the sponge elastic sleeve 31, thereby improving the overall durability.
[0045] The outlet hole sealing assembly 30 proposed by the utility model can be plugged into the outlet hole 21 of the device, and the wire harness is installed in the elastic sleeve 31 through the cutout 312 of the elastic sleeve 31. The elastic sleeve 31 can protect the wire harness and fill the space between the wire harness and the hole wall of the outlet hole 21, reducing the external liquid from entering the device from there, and improving the waterproof effect. In addition, the utility model sets a protective sleeve 32 on the outside of the elastic sleeve 31 in a detachable manner to further fix the elastic sleeve 31, improve the overall structural strength and durability, and the protective sleeve 32 can be removed from the elastic sleeve 31 to facilitate the replacement or repair of the elastic sleeve 31 and the protective sleeve 32.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the protective sleeve is disposed around the outside of the elastic sleeve. Along the circumference of the threading hole 311, the protective sleeve 32 has a first connecting portion 321 and a second connecting portion 322 that are oppositely arranged. The first connecting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322 are connected in a detachable manner.
[0047] It is understandable that the protective cover 32 can be in the shape of a strip, and the protective cover 32 includes a first connection part 321 and a second connection part 322 connected in sequence, and the connection between the first connection part 321 and the second connection part 322 can be achieved by bonding or sewing, and the protective cover 32 is attached to the outer circumference of the elastic cover 31. When installing the protective cover 32, the second connection part 322 is wrapped around the elastic cover 31 on its outer circumference, and then the first connection part 321 is connected to the second connection part 322 by bonding or sewing, and the first connection part 321 and the second connection part 322 can be stacked. Alternatively, along the circumference of the threading hole 311, the first connection part 321 and the second connection part 322 can be located on the same circumferential surface, and the connection is achieved by bonding and docking the ends.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the protective sleeve 32 is a flexible member, and the first connecting portion 321 is attached to the side of the second connecting portion 322 facing away from the elastic sleeve 31.
[0049] It can be understood that the protective sleeve 32 can be bent and wrapped around the elastic sleeve 31. Along the radial direction of the wire threading hole 311, the first connecting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322 have an overlapping area, whereby the connection area between the first connecting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322 can be made larger and the connection more reliable. When installing the protective sleeve 32, the second connecting portion 322 is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the elastic sleeve 31, and then the first connecting portion 321 is attached to the side of the second connecting portion 322 facing away from the elastic sleeve 31 by means of gluing or sewing to achieve the connection between the two.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the protective sleeve 32 further includes an adhesive layer, and the first connecting portion 321 is connected to the second connecting portion 322 through the adhesive layer;
[0051] Alternatively, the first connecting portion 321 is connected to the second connecting portion 322 by sewing.
[0052] It can be understood that the first connecting portion 321 can be butt-connected to the end of the second connecting portion 322 through the adhesive layer, or the first connecting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322 are stacked, and an adhesive layer is provided between the two to achieve the connection. Along the circumferential direction of the wire threading hole 311, the end of the first connecting portion 321 can be sewn to the end of the second connecting portion 322 to achieve butt connection, or the first connecting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322 are stacked and connected by sewing.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the wire outlet hole sealing assembly 30 further includes an elastic body 33, and along the radial direction of the wire threading hole 311, the elastic body 33 is connected to the side of the protective sleeve 32 facing away from the elastic sleeve 31.
[0054] It can be understood that the elastic body 33 can be arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the protective sleeve 32. The elastic body 33 can further fill the space between the wire harness and the wire threading hole 311 to improve the sealing effect. And the elastic body 33 can also protect the protective sleeve 32 to improve the durability. Specifically, the elastic body 33 can be an arc-shaped block structure or a cube structure, which is specifically set according to the actual space.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present utility model, at least a part of the elastic body 33 extends along the tangential direction of the protective sleeve 32, and the elastic body 33 is used for sealingly arranged between the top cover assembly 10 and the box body 20;
[0056] And / or, along the axial direction of the wire threading hole, the elastic body is spaced from the end of the elastic sleeve.
[0057] It can be understood that the elastomer 33 can be arranged to extend tangentially along the protective sleeve 32 according to actual needs. For example, when the wire outlet hole 21 has a notch structure, the elastomer 33 can be arranged to extend tangentially along the outer peripheral surface of the top of the protective sleeve 32, so that the elastomer 33 corresponds to the opening of the notch and is blocked between the top cover assembly 10 and the protective sleeve 32, reducing the phenomenon that the top cover assembly 10 wears the protective sleeve 32, and the elastomer 33 can block external rainwater and reduce the phenomenon of rainwater entering the box body 20. Along the axial direction of the wire passing hole 311, there is a certain distance between the elastomer 33 and the end of the elastic sleeve 31, so that the lower edge of the top cover assembly 10 will not interfere with the elastomer 33.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, along the axis of the wire passing hole 311, the extension length of the protective sleeve 32 is equal to the extension length of the elastic sleeve 31.
[0059] It can be understood that the protective sleeve 32 and the elastic sleeve 31 have the same axial length, so that the protective sleeve 32 can protect the elastic sleeve 31 in a larger range, reduce the phenomenon that the elastic sleeve 31 is damaged, and improve the overall durability.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic sleeve 31 is a sponge body;
[0061] and / or, the protective sleeve 32 is a flexible waterproof member.
[0062] It can be understood that the elastic sleeve 31 is made of sponge, which is soft and elastic, can protect the wire harness, and adaptively fills the space between the wire harness and the hole wall of the wire passing hole, improving the sealing and waterproof effect at the wire passing hole. The protective sleeve 32 can be made of a film of plastic materials such as PVC, so that the protective sleeve 32 is wear-resistant, can be bent repeatedly, and has good durability.
[0063] A second aspect of the present invention proposes an outdoor unit 100 of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) device, including:
[0064] A top cover assembly 10;
[0065] A box body 20 having a notch structure, and the top cover assembly 10 is arranged on the top of the box body 20 and encloses a wire outlet hole 21 with the notch structure;
[0066] The wire outlet hole sealing assembly 30 proposed in the first aspect of the present invention is installed in the wire outlet hole 21;
[0067] A wire harness passing through the wire passing hole 311.
[0068] It can be understood that the housing of the outdoor unit 100 of the HVAC equipment is composed of a top cover assembly 10 and a box body 20. The top of the box body 20 is open, and the top cover assembly 10 is sealed at the top opening of the box body 20. An outlet hole 21 is provided at the electrical control box assembly of the outdoor unit 100 of the HVAC equipment. The outlet hole 21 can be a round hole, a rectangular hole or a U-shaped notch. The outlet hole 21 is used for the wire harness inside the outdoor unit 100 of the heating and ventilation equipment to pass through. Since there is a gap between the hole wall of the outlet hole 21 and the wire harness, when the outdoor unit 100 of the HVAC equipment is in a rain environment, it is easy to enter from here. The outlet hole sealing assembly 30 proposed in the first aspect of the present invention can seal the outlet hole 21, improving the waterproof performance of the outdoor unit 100 of the HVAC equipment.
[0069] An outlet hole 21 for passing out the wire harness is provided on the box body 20 of the outdoor unit 100 of the HVAC equipment proposed in the second aspect of the present invention. The outlet hole sealing assembly 30 proposed in the first aspect of the present invention is inserted into the outlet hole 21 to fill and seal the space between the wire harness and the box body 20, reducing the entry of external fluid into the interior of the box body 20 from here. Moreover, the double-layer sleeve structure of the outlet hole sealing assembly 30 has a relatively high strength, and the outer protective sleeve 32 is also detachable, facilitating the repair and replacement of the protective sleeve 32 and the elastic sleeve 31.
[0070] A third aspect of the present invention proposes an HVAC equipment, including the outdoor unit of the HVAC equipment proposed in the second aspect of the present invention.
[0071] The HVAC equipment proposed in the third aspect of the present invention is provided with an outlet hole sealing assembly 30 at the position of the outlet hole 21.

[0072] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
