[0056] The electronic control box 1000 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] The electronic control box 1000 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-3 shown, the electronic control box 1000 includes a box body 100. An accommodation cavity 100a adapted to accommodate a circuit board 200 is formed in the box body 100. The box body 100 includes a first box cover 1 that participates in defining the accommodation cavity 100a. The first box cover 1 includes a heat transfer cover 11 made of a metal material and a cover body 12 made of a non-metal material. An opening area S is provided on the cover body 12. The heat transfer cover 11 is disposed in the opening area S. A first fitting groove 13 that opens in a direction away from the accommodation cavity 100a and is used for embedding a heat dissipation tube 300 is formed on a surface of the heat transfer cover 11 away from the accommodation cavity 100a. A tube limiting structure 14 for limiting the heat dissipation tube 300 that cooperates with the first fitting groove 13 to the heat transfer cover 11 is provided on a side of the cover body 12 away from the accommodation cavity 100a.

[0058] The circuit board 200 is disposed in the accommodation cavity 100a formed in the electronic control box 1000. When the circuit board 200 works, heat will be generated. The box body 100 can transfer the heat of the circuit board 200 to the external environment to dissipate heat from the circuit board 200. It should be noted that the heat of the circuit board 200 can be indirectly transferred to the box body 100 through heat exchange with air, or directly transferred to the box body 100 by means of heat radiation.

[0059] The first box cover 1 that participates in defining the accommodation cavity 100a includes a heat transfer cover 11 and a cover body 12. The heat transfer cover 11 is disposed in the opening area S of the cover body 12. The heat transfer cover 11 is made of a metal material, and the heat transfer cover 11 has good thermal conductivity, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control box 1000. And the structural strength of the heat transfer cover 11 is relatively high, which can also improve the impact resistance of the box body 100.

[0060] The cover body 12 is made of a non-metal material, which can improve the electrical safety of the electronic control box 1000. Exemplarily, the cover body 12 is a plastic part. By setting the cover body 12 of the first box cover 1 as a non-metal part and arranging a heat transfer cover 11 made of a metal material in the opening area S of the cover body 12, compared with setting the first box cover 1 as a whole metal part, the weight can be reduced and the manufacturing cost can be saved.

[0061] On one side surface of the heat transfer cover 11 away from the accommodation cavity 100a, a first fitting groove 13 is formed, and the heat dissipation pipe 300 is embedded in the first fitting groove 13. By using the heat dissipation pipe 300 to cool the heat transfer cover 11, the heat conduction between the heat transfer cover 11 and the heat in the accommodation cavity 100a can be accelerated, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic control box 1000. And the heat dissipation pipe 300 is located on the side surface of the heat transfer cover 11 away from the accommodation cavity 100a. After the heat transfer cover 11 and the cover body 12 are pre-assembled, the heat dissipation pipe 300 can be assembled with the box body 100, so as to ensure the tightness of the box body 100, improve the working safety of the electronic control box 1000, and also enable the rapid assembly of the heat dissipation pipe 300 and the box body 100.

[0062] Moreover, by providing the first fitting groove 13 and the pipe limiting structure 14, the arrangement stability of the heat dissipation pipe 300 arranged on the heat transfer cover 11 can be improved, the situation of the heat dissipation pipe 300 separating from the heat transfer cover 11 when being impacted can be improved, and the reliability of heat exchange between the heat dissipation pipe 300 and the heat transfer cover 11 can be enhanced.

[0063] For the electronic control box 1000 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the metal heat transfer cover 11 to transfer heat to the accommodation cavity 100a, and arranging the heat dissipation pipe 300 on the heat transfer cover 11, the heat transfer efficiency between the first box cover 1 and the circuit board 200 can be improved, and the heat dissipation performance of the electronic control box 1000 is good. Also, by providing the first fitting groove 13 and the pipe limiting structure 14, the arrangement stability of the heat dissipation pipe 300 can be improved, and the reliability of heat exchange between the heat dissipation pipe 300 and the heat transfer cover 11 can be enhanced, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control box 1000.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the pipe limiting structure 14 is formed as an elastic pipe clamp 14a integrally formed with the cover body 12, and the heat dissipation pipe 300 cooperating with the first fitting groove 13 is adapted to be clamped into the elastic pipe clamp 14a through the opening 141 of the elastic pipe clamp 14a.

[0065] The elastic pipe clamp 14a is integrally formed with the cover body 12, and the integrity of the elastic pipe clamp 14a is strong, which can improve the structural strength of the elastic pipe clamp 14a. And because the elastic pipe clamp 14a and the cover body 12 are integrally formed, when the heat dissipation pipe 300 is clamped into the elastic pipe clamp 14a, it is not necessary to first assemble the elastic pipe clamp 14a with the cover body 12, which simplifies the installation process and can improve the assembly efficiency.

[0066] The tube limiting structure 14 is formed as an elastic tube clamp 14a. The heat dissipation tube 300 can be assembled with the elastic tube clamp 14a by directly clamping the heat dissipation tube 300 into the opening 141 of the elastic tube clamp 14a. The heat dissipation tube 300 can be disassembled from the elastic tube clamp 14a by taking out the heat dissipation tube 300 from the opening 141 of the elastic tube clamp 14a. The operations of assembling or separating the heat dissipation tube 300 and the elastic tube clamp 14a are simple and convenient to use.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, the opening 141 of the elastic tube clamp 14a opens in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 100a.

[0068] The elastic tube clamp 14a is disposed on a side of the cover body 12 away from the accommodating cavity 100a. Therefore, the space on the side of the cover body 12 facing away from the accommodating cavity 100a is relatively large. The elastic tube clamp 14a is designed such that the opening 141 opens in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 100a, and there is a relatively large operating space for clamping the heat dissipation tube 300 into the elastic tube clamp 14a, which is convenient for operation.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, the elastic tube clamp 14a includes two elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142. The fixed ends of the two elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142 are connected to the cover body 12. The free ends of the two elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142 extend in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 100a. An opening 141 of the elastic tube clamp 14a is defined between the free ends of the two elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142. The distance between the free ends of the two elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142 is smaller than the distance between the fixed ends of the two elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142. The elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142 can undergo elastic deformation so that the heat dissipation tube 300 can enter between the fixed ends of the two elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142 through the opening 141 of the elastic tube clamp 14a, and the two elastically spaced-apart sub-clamps 142 clamp the heat dissipation tube 300 to limit the heat dissipation tube 300 to the heat transfer cover 11.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, tube limiting structures 14 are respectively provided at both length ends of the first fitting groove 13. The tube limiting structures 14 stably limit the heat dissipation tube 300, and can improve the situation where the heat dissipation tube 300 moves or rotates and moves out of the first fitting groove 13.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the heat transfer cover 11 includes a first stepped portion 111 and a second stepped portion 112 with different distances from the substrate 41 of the circuit board 200. The first fitting groove 13 is provided on both the first stepped portion 111 and the second stepped portion 112.

[0072] The heat dissipation pipe 300 can be embedded in the first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111, or the heat dissipation pipe 300 can also be embedded in the first fitting groove 13 of the second step portion 112, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0073] By providing the first fitting groove 13 on both the first step portion 111 and the second step portion 112, the heat exchange speeds between the first step portion 111 and the second step portion 112, which are at different distances from the substrate 41 of the circuit board 200, and the circuit board 200 are both relatively fast, and the heat dissipation speed of the circuit board 200 can be improved.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the heat transfer cover 11 includes two first side edges 11a oppositely arranged along the first direction X, and two second side edges 11b oppositely arranged along the second direction Y orthogonal to the first direction X. The first step portion 111 and the second step portion 112 are arranged in sequence along the first direction X. Both ends of the first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111 respectively extend to the second side edges 11b on both sides of the first step portion 111, and both ends of the first fitting groove 13 on the second step portion 112 respectively extend to the second side edges 11b on both sides of the second step portion 112.

[0075] The first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111 and the first fitting groove 13 on the second step portion 112 are two separate grooves. Optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, there is one heat dissipation pipe 300, and the same heat dissipation pipe 300 is embedded in the first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111 and the first fitting groove 13 on the second step portion 112. The extending end of the heat dissipation pipe 300 extends into the first step portion 111 from the first second side edge 11b of the first step portion 111, and extends out from the second second side edge 11b of the first step portion 111. Subsequently, the turning direction of the heat dissipation pipe 300 extends into the second step portion 112 from the second second side edge 11b of the second step portion 112, and then extends out from the first second side edge 11b of the second step portion 112. Of course, the heat dissipation pipe 300 can also extend into the second step portion 112 and extend out from the first step portion 111.

[0076] Alternatively, optionally, there are two heat dissipation pipes 300, and the two heat dissipation pipes 300 are respectively embedded in the first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111 and the first fitting groove 13 on the second step portion 112. One heat dissipation pipe 300 extends into the first step portion 111 from one second side edge 11b of the first step portion 111, and extends out from the other second side edge 11b of the first step portion 111. The other heat dissipation pipe 300 extends into the second step portion 112 from one second side edge 11b of the second step portion 112, and extends out from the other second side edge 11b of the second step portion 112.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown in the figure, the heat transfer cover 11 includes a transition portion 113 connected between a first step portion 111 and a second step portion 112. The cover body 12 includes a top wall 121 and a side wall 122 located on the side of the top wall 121. An opening area S is formed in the top wall 121. The top wall 121 is closer to the circuit board 200 than the side wall 122.

[0078] As Figure 3 shown, the cover body 12 further includes a first wall 1212 parallel to and bearing the first step portion 111, a second wall 1213 parallel to and bearing the transition portion 113, and a third wall 1214 parallel to and bearing the second step portion 112. The top wall 121 includes an inclined portion 1211 located on one side of the opening area S along the second direction Y. The inclined portion 1211 extends along the direction from the first step portion 111 to the second step portion 112 and is inclined to the transition portion 113, that is, the inclined portion 1211 extends along the direction from the first wall 1212 to the third wall 1214 and is inclined to the second wall 1213. The inclined portion 1211 is used to support the part of the heat dissipation tube 300 extending outside the heat transfer cover 11 that passes through the first fitting groove 13. By providing the inclined portion 1211, the heat dissipation tube 300 can be supported, and the layout stability of the heat dissipation tube 300 can be improved.

[0079] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, there is one heat dissipation tube 300, and the same heat dissipation tube 300 is embedded in the first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111 and the first fitting groove 13 on the second step portion 112. The heat dissipation tube 300 turns in direction at the inclined portion 1211 to extend from the first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111 to the first fitting groove 13 on the second step portion 112. By providing the inclined portion 1211, the heat dissipation tube 300 can be always supported, the heat dissipation tube 300 can be prevented from being suspended, and the layout stability of the heat dissipation tube 300 can be improved.

[0080] And by providing that the inclined portion 1211 extends along the direction from the first wall 1212 to the third wall 1214 and is inclined to the second wall 1213, the interference with the heat dissipation tube 300 is reduced. The heat dissipation tube 300 does not have to bend multiple times along the extending directions of the first wall 1212, the second wall 1213, and the third wall 1214, so that the heat dissipation tube 300 has a smooth transition, which can improve the structural strength of the heat dissipation tube 300 and reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the heat dissipation tube 300.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a heat transfer protrusion 15 protrudes from the surface of the heat transfer cover 11 facing the accommodation cavity 100a.

[0082] By setting the heat transfer protrusions 15, the distance between the heat transfer cover 11 and the circuit board 200 can be effectively shortened, and the contact area between the heat transfer protrusions 15 and the air in the accommodation cavity 100a can be increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat transfer cover 11 and the circuit board 200 and further enhancing the heat dissipation performance of the electronic control box 1000.

[0083] It should be noted that the heat transfer protrusions 15 are part of the heat transfer cover 11 and are integrally formed with the heat transfer cover 11. Compared with the heat transfer protrusions 15 being separately arranged on the surface of the heat transfer cover 11 facing the accommodation cavity 100a, the integrity of the heat transfer cover 11 is good, and the manufacturing difficulty of the heat transfer cover 11 can also be reduced.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, at least part of the heat transfer protrusions 15 are oppositely arranged along the wall thickness direction of the heat transfer cover 11 with the first fitting groove 13.

[0085] The heat dissipation pipe 300 is embedded in the first fitting groove 13. Therefore, at least part of the heat transfer protrusions 15 are oppositely arranged along the wall thickness direction of the heat transfer cover 11 with the heat dissipation pipe 300, which can shorten the heat transfer path from the heat transfer protrusions 15 to the heat dissipation pipe 300 and is beneficial to accelerating the heat dissipation of the accommodation cavity 100a.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 6 shown, the heat transfer cover 11 includes a first step portion 111 and a second step portion 112. The distance H1 from the first step portion 111 to the substrate 41 of the circuit board 200 is greater than the distance H2 from the second step portion 112 to the substrate 41 of the circuit board 200. The heat transfer protrusions 15 include a first protrusion 151 protruding from the first step portion 111 towards the accommodation cavity 100a.

[0087] The distance H1 from the first step portion 111 to the substrate 41 is relatively large, and the distance between the heat transfer cover 11 and the circuit board 200 at the first step is relatively far. Therefore, by arranging the heat transfer protrusions 15 protruding towards the accommodation cavity 100a at the first step portion 111, the distance between the heat transfer cover 11 and the circuit board 200 at the first step can be shortened, which is beneficial to accelerating the heat dissipation of the circuit board 200.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the heat transfer protrusions 15 include a plurality of columns 15a arranged at intervals. The column 15a has relatively high structural strength, which can reduce the occurrence of the heat transfer protrusions 15 being damaged or fractured by impact.

[0089] Optionally, as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the column 15a is a cylinder, a prism, or a conical column with a gradually decreasing cross-section in the direction towards the accommodation cavity 100a, which can be selected according to the layout space in the accommodation cavity 100a.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the heat transfer protrusion 15 includes a plurality of sheet bodies 15b arranged at intervals. The sheet bodies 15b occupy a small space, can effectively utilize the limited space in the accommodation cavity 100a, realize a compact heat dissipation design, increase the contact area with the air in the accommodation cavity 100a, and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present utility model, a plurality of parallel sheet bodies 15b form a heat sink group, and the heat transfer protrusion 15 includes at least one heat sink group. Thus, a relatively large number of sheet bodies 15b can be arranged to improve the heat dissipation effect and facilitate design and processing.

[0092] Exemplarily, the heat transfer protrusion 15 includes a plurality of heat sink groups, and the sheet bodies 15b in different heat sink groups are not parallel.

[0093] The circuit board 200 includes a substrate 41 and a heat-generating device 42. A plurality of heat-generating devices 42 are arranged on the substrate 41. The heat sink group formed by a plurality of sheet bodies 15b is arranged opposite to the heat-generating devices 42 on the substrate 41, and targeted heat dissipation for the heat-generating devices 42 on the substrate 41 can improve the heat dissipation effect. The sheet bodies 15b in different heat sink groups can be arranged according to actual needs to improve the design flexibility, so as to adapt to the complex space layout in the accommodation cavity 100a and better meet the heat dissipation requirements of the devices.

[0094] Exemplarily, the heat transfer protrusion 15 transfers heat in contact with the heat-generating device 42 through a heat-conducting medium (non-gas).

[0095] Optionally, the heat-conducting medium can be a heat-conducting pad or a heat-conducting substrate with better heat conductivity, etc. The heat-generating device 42 and the heat transfer protrusion 15 are in indirect contact heat exchange through the heat-conducting pad or the heat-conducting substrate to accelerate the heat exchange between the heat-generating device 42 and the heat transfer protrusion 15; or, alternatively, the heat-conducting medium can also be a coating structure such as heat-conducting silicone grease. Or, the heat-conducting medium can also be a combination form including several of the above heat-conducting media, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the electric control box 1000 includes: a gland 2, the gland 2 is arranged on the side of the heat transfer cover 11 away from the accommodation cavity 100a and is connected to the heat transfer cover 11. The gland 2 at least covers the first fitting groove 13 and jointly clamps the heat dissipation pipe 300 that cooperates with the first fitting groove 13 with the first box cover 1.

[0097] By arranging the gland 2 and the first box cover 1 to clamp the heat dissipation pipe 300 together, the arrangement stability of the heat dissipation pipe 300 can be further improved, preventing the heat dissipation pipe 300 from being impacted and disengaging from the first fitting groove 13, and enhancing the contact heat exchange stability between the heat dissipation pipe 300 and the heat transfer cover 11. The gland 2 can also protect the heat dissipation pipe 300 embedded in the first fitting groove 13, reducing the invasion of pollutants such as dust.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, a second fitting groove 21 is formed on the gland 2. The second fitting groove 21 is formed on the surface of the gland 2 facing the heat transfer cover 11 and is open in the direction towards the heat transfer cover 11.

[0099] The heat dissipation pipe 300 embedded in the first fitting groove 13 is received in the second fitting groove 21. By forming the second fitting groove 21 on the gland 2, the fit with the heat dissipation pipe 300 is better, and damage to the heat dissipation pipe 300 caused by squeezing can be avoided.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, the gland 2 is formed as a long strip-shaped cover plate, and the length direction of the gland 2 extends along the length direction of the first fitting groove 13.

[0101] The gland 2 is in the same length direction as the first fitting groove 13, which can provide more complete limitation and protection for the heat dissipation pipe 300 in the first fitting groove 13, and reduce the occurrence of movement and detachment of the heat dissipation pipe 300.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the gland 2 is fixedly connected to the heat transfer cover 11 through fasteners.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, the heat transfer plate includes a first step portion 111 and a second step portion 112, and the first fitting groove 13 is provided on both the first step portion 111 and the second step portion 112. Correspondingly, there are two glands 2, which respectively cover the first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111 and the first fitting groove 13 on the second step portion 112.

[0104] Compared with arranging a whole gland 2 to cover the first fitting groove 13 on the first step portion 111 and the first fitting groove 13 on the second step portion 112 simultaneously, having two glands 2 respectively covering the first fitting groove 13 can reduce the manufacturing cost of the gland 2 while ensuring the arrangement stability of the heat dissipation pipe 300.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1As shown, the box body 100 further includes a second box cover 3, and the second box cover 3 is buckled with the first box cover 1 to jointly define a receiving cavity 100a, and the receiving cavity 100a is a sealed chamber, that is, there is no ventilation area on the box body 100 for communicating the inside and the outside of the box body 100.

[0106] By designing the electric control box 1000 as a sealed box body 100 and the receiving cavity 100a as a sealed cavity, it is possible to effectively prevent flammable refrigerant or water from entering the receiving cavity 100a, thereby ensuring the electrical safety of the electric control box 1000.

[0107] It is worth noting that with the improvement of environmental protection requirements for refrigerants in air conditioners, refrigerant R290, due to its cleanliness, does not damage the ozone layer and has a minimal impact on the greenhouse effect, and is gradually replacing traditional refrigerants such as R32 and being applied to air conditioners. However, R290 refrigerant is flammable. When R290 refrigerant leaks at a low concentration, it may cause combustion and explosion when encountering a low-energy spark. Therefore, the safety performance of using R290 refrigerant must be ensured.

[0108] The electric control box 1000 of the embodiment of the present utility model is a sealed box body 100, and the receiving cavity 100a is a sealed chamber, which can effectively prevent flammable refrigerant from entering the receiving cavity 100a, so that it can be applied to an air conditioner using R290 refrigerant.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first box cover 1 and the second box cover 3 are coupled and fixedly connected by fasteners to improve the connection stability between the first box cover 1 and the second box cover 3.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the cover body 12 and the heat transfer cover 11 are integrally connected. The first box cover 1 has strong structural integrity, which can improve the structural strength of the first box cover 1 and also improve the sealing performance of the electric control box 1000.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the cover body 12 is a plastic part and is adhesively connected, inlaid or injection-molded with the heat transfer cover 11.

[0112] The cover body 12 being a plastic part can improve the electrical safety of the electric control box 1000, reduce the manufacturing cost, and is also beneficial to the lightweight design of the electric control box 1000.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, the electric control box 1000 includes a circuit board 200 disposed in the receiving cavity 100a. The circuit board 200 includes a substrate 41 and a heating device 42, and at least part of the heating device 42 is disposed on the side of the substrate 41 facing the first box cover 1.

[0114] The first box cover 1 is used for dissipating heat from the circuit board 200. Since the first box cover 1 has good heat conduction performance, the heat-generating device 42 is arranged on the side of the substrate 41 facing the first box cover 1, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat-generating device 42. Moreover, the space on the side of the substrate 41 facing the first box cover 1 is relatively large, and arranging the heat-generating device 42 on the side of the substrate 41 facing the first box cover 1 is convenient for assembly and can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the electric control box 1000.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heat transfer cover 11 includes a first step portion 111 and a second step portion 112 with different distances to the substrate 41 of the circuit board 200. The distance H1 from the first step portion 111 to the substrate 41 of the circuit board 200 is greater than the distance H2 from the second step portion 112 to the substrate 41 of the circuit board 200. The space at the position where the substrate 41 faces the first step portion 111 is relatively large, and the space at the position where the substrate 41 faces the second step portion 112 is relatively small.

[0116] The heat-generating device 42 includes passive devices and power devices. The passive devices with larger volume are arranged at the position where the substrate 41 faces the first step portion 111, and the power devices with smaller volume are arranged at the position where the substrate 41 faces the second step portion 112.

[0117] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the box body 100 further includes a second box cover 3. The second box cover 3 and the first box cover 1 are oppositely arranged in the thickness direction of the substrate 41. The circuit board 200 includes a substrate 41 and a heat-generating device 42. At least part of the heat-generating device 42 is arranged on the side of the substrate 41 facing the first box cover 1, and at least part of the heat-generating device 42 is arranged on the side of the substrate 41 facing the second box cover 3.

[0118] The heat-generating device 42 arranged on the side of the substrate 41 facing the second box cover 3 does not occupy the layout space of the substrate 41 facing the first box cover 1, thereby improving the functionality of the electric control box 1000. The first box cover 1 dissipates heat from the accommodation cavity 100a and can also dissipate heat from the heat-generating device 42 arranged on the side of the substrate 41 facing the second box cover 3, and can also improve the working reliability of the heat-generating device 42 arranged on the side of the substrate 41 facing the second box cover 3.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electric control box 100 includes a heat dissipation tube 300 that cooperates with the first fitting groove 13 and is limited by the tube limiting structure 14. The heat dissipation tube 300, as a part of the electric control box 100, can simplify the assembly process.

[0120] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, including a refrigerant circulation system and the electric control box 1000 according to the above first aspect embodiment of the present invention. The refrigerant circulation system 2000 is used to provide cooling capacity to the heat dissipation tube 300 embedded in the first fitting groove 13.

[0121] The refrigerant circulation system 2000 is used to provide cooling capacity to the heat dissipation pipe 300 to exchange heat with the first lid 1, eliminating the need to additionally set up a heat dissipation component to cooperate with the electric control box 1000. This can accelerate the heat dissipation of the electric control box 1000, reduce the manufacturing cost, and improve the working reliability of the air conditioner.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant pipe in the refrigerant circulation system 2000 serves as the heat dissipation pipe 300 and is fitted in the first fitting groove 13.

[0123] Using the refrigerant pipe in the refrigerant circulation system 2000 as the heat dissipation pipe 300 and fitting it in the first fitting groove 13 can enhance the integrity and sealing performance between the refrigerant pipe and the heat dissipation pipe 300 in the refrigerant circulation system 2000, reducing the occurrence of refrigerant leakage.

[0124] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant pipe in the refrigerant circulation system 2000 is connected to the heat dissipation pipe 300 fitted in the first fitting groove 13, and the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation system 2000 is transported to the heat dissipation pipe 300 to provide cooling capacity to the heat dissipation pipe 300.

[0125] Separating the heat dissipation pipe 300 from the refrigerant circulation system 2000 and connecting the refrigerant pipe of the refrigerant circulation system 2000 to the heat dissipation pipe 300 after the installation of the refrigerant circulation system 2000 and the heat dissipation pipe 300 are completed can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the heat dissipation pipe 300.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electric control box 1000 is arranged in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and at least part of the refrigerant pipe in the outdoor unit serves as the heat dissipation pipe 300 and is fitted with the first fitting groove 13 and limited by the pipe limiting structure 14.

[0127] For example, as Figure 10 shown, the refrigerant circulation system 2000 includes a compressor 2001, an outdoor heat exchanger 2002, an indoor heat exchanger 2003, a throttling device 2004, and a reversing component 2005. The reversing component 2005 is used to switch one of the outdoor heat exchanger 2002 and the indoor heat exchanger 2003 to be used as a condenser while the other is used as an evaporator.

[0128] As Figure 10 shown, the solid line with an arrow is the circulation path of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation system 2000 when the air conditioner is cooling the indoor space. At this time, the reversing component 2005 connects the exhaust port of the compressor 2001 to the outdoor heat exchanger 2002 and connects the suction port of the compressor 2001 to the indoor heat exchanger 2003. The outdoor heat exchanger 2002 serves as a condenser, and the indoor heat exchanger 2003 serves as an evaporator.

[0129] As Figure 10As shown, the dashed line with an arrow represents the circulation path of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation system 2000 when the air conditioner heats the indoor environment. At this time, the reversing component 2005 connects the exhaust port of the compressor 2001 to the indoor heat exchanger 2003 and connects the suction port of the compressor 2001 to the outdoor heat exchanger 2002. The outdoor heat exchanger 2002 serves as an evaporator, and the indoor heat exchanger 2003 serves as a condenser.

[0130] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 10 shown, the refrigerant pipe located in the outdoor unit and connected between the throttling device 2004 and the indoor heat exchanger 2003 serves as a heat dissipation pipe 300 and is fitted in the first fitting groove 13.

[0131] In other embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant pipe located in the outdoor unit and connected between the reversing component 2005 and the suction port of the compressor 2001 can also serve as the heat dissipation pipe 300 and be fitted in the first fitting groove 13.

[0132] Of course, the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present application, the refrigerant circulation system 2000 may not include the reversing component 2005 and be a single-cooling system.

[0133] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circulation system 2000 is a flammable refrigerant.

[0134] By designing the electronic control box 1000 as a sealed box and arranging the heat dissipation pipe 300 on the side of the first box cover 1 away from the accommodation cavity 100a to dissipate heat from the electronic control box 1000, that is, arranging the heat dissipation pipe 300 outside the electronic control box 1000, it is possible to prevent the flammable refrigerant from entering the electronic control box 1000. While improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic control box 1000, the safety of use can also be enhanced.
