[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric control sensor assembly of the embodiment of the present utility model includes a sensor 1 and an electric control box 2.
[0034] Sensor 1 is used to monitor environmental parameters. For example, sensor 1 can be a temperature and humidity sensor. Sensor 1 can monitor indoor environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity, thereby facilitating the operation of air conditioning equipment by monitoring the parameters. In other embodiments, sensor 1 can also be a temperature sensor, and the environmental parameter can also be fine particulate matter.
[0035] One of two adjacent surfaces of the electric control box 2 is provided with a fixing portion 21 , and the other is provided with a mounting portion 22 . The fixing portion 21 is used to fix the wire harness 3 , and the sensor 1 is mounted on the mounting portion 22 .
[0036] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric control box 2 may include a box body, which may be substantially in the shape of a square box and may be made of plastic, etc. The fixing portion 21 and the mounting portion 22 may be fixed on the outer surface of the box body by integral injection molding.
[0037] The fixing portion 21 can be located on the lower surface of the box body. Specifically, the fixing portion 21 can be a structural component such as an electrical connector or a wire pressing structure that can achieve electrical connection and fixation of the wire harness 3. When in use, two wire harnesses 3 can be electrically connected and fixed at the fixing portion 21. In other embodiments, only one wire harness 3 can be provided, and the wire harness 3 can be pressed and fixed by the fixing portion 21.
[0038] The mounting portion 22 can be provided on the right side surface of the box body adjacent to the lower surface of the box body. The mounting portion 22 as a whole can be a groove-shaped structure, a snap buckle, etc. During assembly, the above-mentioned sensor 1 can be assembled on the right side surface of the box body through the mounting portion 22, thereby realizing the integrated arrangement of the sensor 1 and the electronic control box 2.
[0039] In the electric control sensor assembly of the embodiment of the present invention, a mounting portion 22 specifically for assembling the sensor 1 is provided on the electric control box 2, thereby realizing an integrated arrangement of the electric control box 2 and the sensor 1, avoiding the situation in the related art where the electric control box 2 and the sensor 1 are installed separately. That is, before installation, the electric control box 2 and the sensor 1 can be pre-assembled and integrated first, and then the whole formed by the two can be assembled, thereby improving the production efficiency of the entire machine.
[0040] Secondly, since the sensor 1 is integrated on the electric control box 2, the distance between the sensor 1 and the electric control box 2 is relatively close, and the two can be directly connected by wires, etc., thereby avoiding the situation in the related art where the wiring between the electric control box 2 and the sensor 1 is long, which is conducive to simplifying the wiring and thus conducive to optimizing the spatial layout.
[0041] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 22 is provided with a mounting groove 221, and the sensor 1 is plugged and assembled in the mounting groove 221. Figure 3As shown, the mounting portion 22 can be generally a square structure, the mounting groove 221 can be a U-shaped groove and can be arranged on the inner side of the mounting portion 22, and the notch of the mounting groove 221 is connected to the outside of the mounting portion 22. During assembly, the sensor 1 can be inserted into the mounting groove 221 from the notch of the mounting groove 221, thereby simplifying the assembly process of the sensor 1 and fully ensuring the stability of the fixation.
[0042] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 22 includes two side panels 222 and a bottom panel 223. The two side panels 222 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart in a first direction, and each side panel 222 extends along a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The bottom panel 223 is arranged on the same side of the two side panels 222 and is connected to the ends of the two side panels 222 in the second direction. The space enclosed by the two side panels 222 and the bottom panel 223 forms a mounting groove 221.
[0043] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the two side panels 222 can be roughly rectangular plates, and the two side panels 222 can be integrally formed on the right side of the box body and arranged perpendicular to the right side. The first direction can be the up and down direction, and the second direction can be the front and back direction. The two side panels 222 can be arranged at intervals in the up and down directions, and each side panel 222 can generally extend along the front and back directions.
[0044] The bottom plate 223 can be rectangular or integrally formed on the right side of the box body. The bottom plate 223 can be located in front of the two side plates 222, with the rear surface of the bottom plate 223 connected to the front ends of the two side plates 222. Thus, the two side plates 222 and the bottom plate 223 can generally form a U-shaped structure, with the mounting groove 221 being the interior space enclosed by the two side plates 222 and the bottom plate 223. This facilitates the formation of the mounting groove 221 and simplifies the structure of the mounting portion 22.
[0045] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 22 includes a baffle 224, which is located at the edge of the bottom plate 223 away from the electrical control box 2. The baffle 224 and the two side plates 222 are located on the same side of the bottom plate 223. The baffle 224 is used to stop the sensor 1 to prevent the sensor 1 from falling out of the mounting groove 221 in a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.
[0046] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the baffle 224 can be in the shape of a rectangular plate and can be integrally formed at the right edge of the base plate 223 and protrude toward the rear side of the base plate 223. The third direction can be the left-right direction. When the sensor 1 is assembled into the mounting slot 221, the front portion of the sensor 1 can engage with the baffle 224 in the left-right direction, thereby preventing the sensor 1 from falling out of the mounting slot 221 through the right end thereof, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the sensor 1 assembly.
[0047] In some embodiments, at least one of the two side plates 222 is provided with a first hole 2223, and the first hole 2223 penetrates the partition along a first direction. Figure 3 As shown, the first hole 2223 can be provided only on the rear side plate 222 of the two side plates 222. The first hole 2223 can be a rectangular hole and can be located in the rear half of the side plate 222. The first hole 2223 passes through the side plate 222 in the vertical direction. When in use, the first hole 2223 can be used for wiring and can also achieve ventilation and heat dissipation.
[0048] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 223 is provided with a second hole 2231, and the second hole 2231 penetrates the bottom plate 223 along the second direction. Figure 5 As shown, the second hole 2231 can also be a rectangular hole, and the second hole 2231 can pass through the bottom plate 223 along the front-to-back direction. When in use, the second hole 2231 can also be used for wiring and ventilation and heat dissipation, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the sensor 1 and ensuring stable operation.
[0049] In some embodiments, a rib 2221 is provided on the inner side of the side plate 222 , and the rib 2221 extends along a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The sensor 1 is interference fit between the ribs 2221 of the two side plates 222 .
[0050] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each side panel 222 may be integrally formed with a rib 2221 on its inner side. The rib 2221 may have a rectangular cross-section and extend horizontally. When the sensor 1 is mounted in the mounting slot 221, it is clamped and positioned between the two ribs 2221, ensuring structural stability.
[0051] In some embodiments, a flange 2222 is provided at the end of the side panel 222 facing away from the bottom panel 223, and the flange 2222 of each side panel 222 is folded toward the outside of the side panel 222 in the first direction, and the spacing between at least part of the two flanges 2222 in the first direction gradually decreases along the direction adjacent to the bottom panel 223.
[0052] For example, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the rear end of each side plate 222 can be integrally formed with a flange 2222, wherein the flange 2222 of the upper side plate 222 generally extends from the upper rear to the lower front, and the flange 2222 of the lower side plate 222 generally extends from the lower rear to the upper front. That is, the flanges 2222 of the two side plates 222 can generally be formed into an eight-shaped arrangement, and the spacing between the two flanges 2222 in the vertical direction can gradually decrease from the rear to the front. Thus, the two flanges 2222 have a guiding function, thereby facilitating the insertion and assembly of the sensor 1 from between the two flanges 2222 into the mounting slot 221.
[0053] In some embodiments, at least one of the two side panels 222 is provided with a protrusion 2224 , which is provided at the outer edge of the side panel 222 away from the electric control box 2 , and the protrusion 2224 protrudes toward the inner side of the two side panels 222 and is used to block the limit sensor 1 .
[0054] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the protrusion 2224 can be integrally formed only on the right edge of the lower side plate 222, and the protrusion 2224 can protrude toward the upper side of the side plate 222. The protrusion 2224 can be in the shape of a cube. When the sensor 1 is inserted into the mounting slot 221, the protrusion 2224 can also serve as a stop for the sensor 1, thereby preventing the sensor 1 from being dislodged from the right end of the mounting slot 221 and ensuring assembly stability.
[0055] Secondly, since the protrusion 2224 is arranged adjacent to the notch of the installation groove 221, the protrusion 2224 can also play a limiting and guiding role during the process of plugging and assembling the sensor 1 into the installation groove 221, thereby ensuring the smooth assembly of the sensor 1.
[0056] In some embodiments, in the first direction, one end of the bottom plate 223 extends to the outside of one side plate 222 , and the other end of the bottom plate 223 extends to the outside of the other side plate 222 .
[0057] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first direction is the vertical direction, and the bottom plate 223 can extend in the vertical direction. The top end of the bottom plate 223 can extend beyond the upper side plate 222, and the bottom end of the bottom plate 223 can extend beyond the lower side plate 222. That is, the overall length of the bottom plate 223 in the vertical direction is greater than the distance between the outer surfaces of the two side plates 222. This can enhance the overall structural strength of the mounting portion 22, fully meeting the use requirements of the assembled sensor 1.

[0060] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it is understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of the above embodiments made by ordinary technicians in this field are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
