Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a wire trough structure and an air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] As a very popular household appliance in today's society, people have higher and higher requirements for various functions of air conditioners. Correspondingly, the structure and load of air conditioners are becoming more and more complex, and the internal connecting wires are increasing and becoming disorderly. Usually, each manufacturer will use a wire trough structure to standardize the wiring, which can ensure electrical safety on the one hand and is also more beautiful and tidy on the other hand.
[0003] The internal structures of different air conditioner models are very different, so the layouts of wire troughs are also very different. It is very difficult to use the same wire trough structure to adapt to multiple air conditioner models. Therefore, the versatility of traditional wire troughs is not high. The common practice is to open a set of wire trough molds for one model or several models with similar structures. However, for two models with relatively large structural differences, another set of wire trough molds has to be opened, which increases the production cost and indirectly causes waste of energy.
[0004] The prior art discloses a wire routing structure for an air conditioner and an integral air conditioner. Multiple inlet and outlet openings are provided at multiple positions of the first wire trough and the second wire trough. Wires at different positions are respectively routed through the multiple inlet openings on the two wire troughs and are converged and led out together, so that the wire routing is more standardized. Although this technical solution can effectively standardize the wire routing, its versatility is not high, and two air conditioner models with relatively large structural differences cannot share the same wire trough structure. Summary of the Utility Model

[0008] As an optional implementation manner of the present utility model, the quick-release structure includes a plugging portion and a mating portion. The plugging portion includes two plugging protrusions, and the mating portion includes two mating grooves. The two plugging protrusions are matched with the two mating grooves.
[0009] As an optional implementation manner of the present utility model, the wire trough body includes a wire trough bottom plate and wire trough side plates.

[0030] The present utility model provides a wire trough structure and an air conditioner that can adapt to different air conditioner models, improve the versatility of the wire trough, reduce production costs, and reduce resource waste.
[0031] The following combines Figures 1 to 5A more detailed description of the technical solution provided by the present utility model is given.
[0032] The present utility model provides a wire trough structure, which includes at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100. Any two of the at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100 can be detachably connected through a quick-release structure. A knockout hole 130 is provided at the connection of the two wire trough bodies 100. Opening the knockout hole 130 can connect the two wire trough bodies 100.
[0033] The wire trough structure provided by the present utility model includes at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100. Any two of the at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100 can be detachably connected through a quick-release structure, so that at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100 can form wire troughs with different structures or shapes, thereby being able to adapt to different air conditioner models, improving the versatility of the wire trough, reducing production costs, and reducing resource waste; and a knockout hole 130 is provided at the connection of the two wire trough bodies 100. The knockout hole 130 can be knocked off and opened as needed. Opening the knockout hole 130 can connect the two wire trough bodies 100, so that the wire channels inside at least two wire trough bodies 100 can communicate with each other, thereby meeting the wire outlet needs at different positions and being more flexible and convenient to use.
[0034] It can be understood that any two of the at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100 can be detachably connected through a quick-release structure. The at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100 can be connected in sequence, for example, to form a T-shaped structure, an H-shaped structure, an M-shaped structure, a Z-shaped structure, etc.
[0035] Similarly, two or more of the at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100 can also be connected to the same wire trough body 100 to form a tree-shaped wire trough structure, and then the wire channels inside the connected wire trough structure are connected by knocking open the knockout hole 130 to meet the wire requirements of different air conditioner models.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the quick-release structure includes a plugging part and a mating part. The plugging part includes two plugging protrusions 160, and the mating part includes two mating grooves 170. The two plugging protrusions 160 cooperate with the two mating grooves 170.
[0037] In some of the above embodiments of the present utility model, the quick-release structure includes a plugging part and a mating part. Among them, the plugging part includes two plugging protrusions 160, and the mating part includes two mating grooves 170. The plugging protrusions 160 and the mating grooves 170 are adapted to each other, thereby realizing a detachable connection structure between any two wire trough bodies 100. Knock-out holes 130 can be provided between the two mating grooves 170 or the two plugging protrusions 160 to facilitate the connection of the wire channels between the two connected wire trough bodies 100, so as to meet the wire routing requirements. Secondly, the quick-release structure is simple in structure. By reasonably utilizing the knock-out holes 130, the wire routing requirements of various types of machine mechanisms can be met, the technical development cost is reduced, the assembly is simple and easy to learn, and the production time and labor cost are saved.
[0038] It should be noted here that the connection method of at least two groups of wire trough bodies 100 is not limited. For example, when two or more of at least two groups of the wire trough bodies 100 can also be connected to the same wire trough body 100 to form a tree-shaped wire trough structure, by providing a plurality of mating grooves 170 on one wire trough body 100, and a plurality of other wire trough bodies 100 are each provided with plugging protrusions 160, the plurality of other wire trough bodies 100 can all be detachably connected to the plurality of mating grooves 170 on one wire trough body 100 through the plugging protrusions 160, thereby forming a tree-shaped wire trough structure.
[0039] Similarly, a plurality of plugging protrusions 160 can be provided on one wire trough body 100, and mating grooves 170 are provided on the plurality of other wire trough bodies 100. The plurality of other wire trough bodies 100 can all be detachably connected to the plurality of plugging protrusions 160 on one wire trough body 100 through the mating grooves 170, thereby forming a tree-shaped wire trough structure.
[0040] It can be understood that when some of the plurality of mating grooves 170 on the wire trough body 100 do not need to be connected to the wire trough body 100, due to the existence of the knock-out holes 130, it will not affect the safety of the wire harness inside the wire trough body 100.
[0041] During actual use, a plurality of mating grooves 170 can be provided at intervals on the wire trough body 100, and the mating grooves 170 are selected according to needs to be connected to other wire trough bodies 100, thereby forming wire trough structures of different structures.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the wire trough body 100 includes a wire routing bottom plate 140 and wire routing side plates 150. The two wire routing side plates 150 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the wire routing bottom plate 140 to form the wire trough body 100 with a U-shaped structure;
[0043] The two plugging protrusions 160 are arranged at the ends of the two wire routing side plates 150, the two mating grooves 170 are arranged on the wire routing side plates 150, and the knockout holes 130 are arranged between the two mating grooves 170.
[0044] In some of the above embodiments of the present invention, the wire routing groove body 100 is composed of a wire routing bottom plate 140 and wire routing side plates 150 to form a U-shaped structure. The two plugging protrusions 160 are arranged at the ends of the two wire routing side plates 150, and the two mating grooves 170 are arranged on the wire routing side plates 150, so that two adjacent wire routing groove bodies 100 can be detachably connected through the plugging protrusions 160 and the mating grooves 170; the knockout holes 130 are arranged between the two mating grooves 170 and can communicate the wire routing channels in the two wire routing groove bodies 100.
[0045] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the two mating grooves 170 can also be arranged at the ends of the two wire routing side plates 150, the two plugging protrusions 160 are arranged on the wire routing side plates 150, and the knockout holes 130 are arranged between the two plugging protrusions 160.
[0046] It should be noted here that the mating grooves 170 can be arranged on the wire routing side plates 150 of the same wire routing groove body 100, and the plugging protrusions 160 can also be arranged at the ends of the wire routing side plates 150, so as to realize a more flexible wire routing groove structure.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mating parts are arranged on both of the two wire routing side plates 150, and the mating parts on the two wire routing side plates 150 are symmetrically arranged or staggeredly arranged.
[0048] In some of the above embodiments of the present invention, the mating parts are arranged on both of the two wire routing side plates 150, and other wire routing groove bodies 100 can be simultaneously connected to both sides of one wire routing groove body 100, which can realize single-side inlet and multiple knockout holes 130 outlet, or multiple inlets and single-side outlet, meeting the usage requirements of different scenarios.
[0049] The mating parts on the two wire routing side plates 150 are symmetrically arranged or staggeredly arranged. When symmetrically arranged, a cross-shaped structure can be formed, and when staggeredly arranged, a tree branch bifurcation structure can be formed.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mating groove 170 is a through groove or a one-sided through groove.
[0051] In some of the above embodiments of the present utility model, the mating groove 170 may be provided as a through groove, and the insertion protrusion 160 can be inserted from both sides of the mating groove 170 to achieve assembly. However, the drawback is that after the two wire trough bodies 100 are connected, other parts need to be used separately for fixation or positioning to ensure the firm connection of the two wire trough bodies 100;
[0052] And the mating groove 170 is provided as a one-sided through groove. As the name implies, a one-sided through groove means that the mating groove 170 has only one end open, and the insertion protrusion 160 can only be inserted into the mating groove 170 from one side of the opening. The other end of the mating groove 170 can play a limiting role and can prevent the two from separating from each other, and the connection effect is more ideal.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the insertion protrusion 160 and the mating groove 170 are of a T-shaped structure.
[0054] In some of the above embodiments of the present utility model, the insertion protrusion 160 and the mating groove 170 are of a T-shaped structure. The T-shaped insertion protrusion 160 and the T-shaped mating groove 170 realize the detachable connection of the two wire trough bodies 100, with a stable connection structure, simple structure, and convenient production.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the insertion protrusion 160 and the mating groove 170 are of a trapezoidal structure or a triangular structure.
[0056] In some of the above embodiments of the present utility model, the insertion protrusion 160 and the mating groove 170 are of a trapezoidal structure or a triangular structure, both of which can effectively achieve the quick disassembly of the two wire trough bodies 100, which is very convenient.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the wire trough body 100 is a straight trough or a folded trough.
