[0035] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0036] In this disclosure, unless otherwise indicated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are generally defined in relation to the drawing planes of the accompanying drawings, and "inner" and "outer" refer to the inside and outside of the relevant components. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for purposes of distinction and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] It should also be noted that, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. They may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or they may refer to internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure based on specific circumstances.

[0038] The outdoor unit involves many electrical components, some of which may be far away from the electrical control panel. The cables for electrical connection need to be routed to achieve connection and keep them neat.

[0039] In the prior art, the cable routing of outdoor units is excessively long in some locations, resulting in high cable usage, material waste, and high costs. This is especially true for the cable routing at the center partition and electrical control panel, where the long routing distances waste a significant amount of cable material, leading to increased costs.

[0040] For this reason, Figures 1-4 As shown, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a cable fixing structure of an outdoor unit, including a middle partition plate 1 and an electric control board 2 .

[0041] A wire clamping groove 11 is provided on the middle partition plate 1. A wire clamping portion 21 is provided on the electric control board 2.

[0042] The electric control board 2 and the middle partition 1 are connected to each other, the wire clamping portion 21 is close to the wire clamping groove 11 , and the cable is used to connect the wire clamping portion 21 and the wire clamping groove 11 .

[0043] In the above technical solution, by providing a wire clamping groove 11 on the middle partition 1, the wire clamping groove 11 can place cables and guide and fix the cables, so that the cables can be routed as needed, and the wire clamping portion 21 on the electric control board 2 can also guide and fix the cables. Therefore, under the cooperation of the wire clamping groove 11 and the wire clamping portion 21, the cables can be routed in a set direction to complete the cable routing. In addition, the wire clamping portion 21 is close to the wire clamping groove 11, so that the distance between the wire clamping portion 21 and the wire clamping groove 11 is relatively close, and the distance between the two is small. After the cables are connected to the wire clamping portion 21 and the wire clamping groove 11 to realize the preset routing, the amount of cables used between the wire clamping portion 21 and the wire clamping groove 11 is small, and there is no need to consume too much cable material, thereby saving the amount of cable material and reducing costs.

[0044] In order to better control the routing direction of the cables, optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the cable fixing structure also includes an electrical box 3, which is connected to the middle partition 1. The electrical box 3 and the electrical control board 2 are respectively located on both sides of the middle partition 1. A wiring groove 31 is provided on the electrical box 3, and the wiring groove 31 is connected to the wire clamping groove 11.

[0045] The electrical box 3 and the control panel 2 are respectively located on two sides of the partition plate 1, so that the wire slot 31 and the wire clamping part 21 are also located on two sides of the partition plate 1, thereby realizing the guiding and fixing of the cable passing through the partition plate 1 and the arrangement of the cable. In some examples, the electrical box 3 can be a reactance box for accommodating a reactor to protect the reactor.

[0046] The wire slot 31 is used for accommodating the cable, and the cable can be arranged along the extension direction of the wire slot 31. The wire slot 31 can guide and limit the cable, which is beneficial to the cable arrangement. The two side walls of the wire slot 31 are configured as an open structure for the cable to extend into and out of the wire slot 31. The open structure of one end of the wire slot 31 is communicated with the wire clamping groove 11, which is beneficial to the extension of the cable.

[0047] It can be understood that in some examples, the cable can directly extend into the wire clamping groove 11 after extending out of the wire slot 31, be limited and fixed by the wire clamping groove 11, and then be connected with the wire clamping part 21 to realize the arrangement of the cable through the guiding and fixing of the wire clamping part 21. In another example, the cable can directly extend into the wire clamping groove 11 after extending out of the wire clamping part 21, be limited and fixed by the wire clamping groove 11, and then be arranged in the wire slot 31 to realize the arrangement of the cable through the guiding and limiting of the wire slot 31.

[0048] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the wire slot 31 is located at the top of the electrical box 3, and the horizontal height of the groove bottom of the wire slot 31 is lower than that of the groove bottom of the wire clamping groove 11, so that the cable extends from the wire slot 31 to the wire clamping groove 11 in an oblique upward direction.

[0049] The wire slot 31 is located at the top of the electrical box 3, which can facilitate the extension of the cable into the wire slot 31 and realize the limiting and guiding of the cable through the wire slot 31, without increasing the horizontal space size of the electrical box 3 and causing an increase in the horizontal space occupation. In some examples, the wire slot 31 is recessed from the top of the electrical box 3.

[0050] The bottom of the cable trough 31 is lower than the bottom of the cable retaining trough 11, so that the height of the portion of the cable within the cable trough 31 is lower than the height of the portion of the cable within the cable retaining trough 11. Consequently, the cable is tilted upward as it extends from the cable trough 31 to the cable retaining trough 11. This prevents water from following the cable and flowing onto the electrical control board 2, creating a certain degree of waterproofing. It is understood that when water flows along the cable and reaches the intersection of the cable trough 31 and the cable retaining trough 11, due to the upward tilt of the cable, the water will naturally flow downward and will not continue to flow along the extension direction of the cable to the cable retaining trough 11. In some examples, a drainage structure can be provided in the cable trough 31 to drain the flowing water and prevent water accumulation.

[0051] In order to improve the limiting effect on the cables, optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a wire pressing portion 32 is further provided on the top of the electrical box 3, and the wire pressing portion 32 is at least partially located above the wiring trough 31, and the wire pressing portion 32 is used to limit the cables within the wiring trough 31.

[0052] The cooperation between the wire pressing portion 32 and the wire trough 31 can better fix the cable and guide the cable. It can be understood that the cable is located between the wire pressing portion 32 and the wire trough 31, the wire pressing portion 32 produces a downward pressure effect, and the wire trough 31 produces a accommodating effect.

[0053] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the wire pressing portion 32 includes a wire pressing hook 321 and a support plate 322. The bottom of the support plate 322 is connected to the electrical box 3, and the wire pressing hook 321 is connected to the top of the support plate 322. The wire pressing hook 321 is located above the wiring trough 31. The provision of the wire pressing hook 321 can better press the cable toward the wiring trough 31, generating a limiting effect and preventing the cable from falling out.

[0054] The support plate 322 is used to raise the height of the high-voltage wire hook 321 so that the wire hook 321 is located above the wiring trough 31, leaving space between the wire hook 321 and the wiring trough 31 to accommodate the cable. The wire hook 321 can hook the cable to prevent it from escaping, maintaining its restraint and guiding function. In some examples, the support plate 322 is located on one side of the wiring trough 31, and one end of the wire hook 321 is connected to the support plate 322.

[0055] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the wire pressing hook 321 has a groove 323 , the notch of the groove 323 faces the bottom of the wiring groove 31 , and the horizontal height of the bottom of the groove 323 is lower than the horizontal height of the bottom of the wire clamping groove 11 .

[0056] The groove 323 is used to accommodate the cable, can increase the accommodation capacity of the cable, and can produce a limiting effect on the cable to avoid the cable from being separated. It can be understood that the cable is located between the groove 323 and the limiting groove, the extension direction of the groove 323 is consistent with the extension direction of the wire slot 31, so that the wire of the cable is not affected. In addition, the horizontal height of the groove bottom of the groove 323 is lower than the horizontal height of the groove bottom of the wire slot 11, so that the cable can be pressed downward, and the cable extends to the wire slot 11 in an inclined upward inclined manner, which can further ensure the waterproof effect.

[0057] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the wire pressing portion 32 comprises a cover plate, the cover plate extends along the extension direction of the wire slot 31, and the cover plate is arranged on the wire slot 31 and is clamped with the slot opening of the wire slot 31.

[0058] In order to facilitate the cable to extend between the wire slot 31 and the wire slot 11, optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the extension direction of the wire slot 31 is arranged in the same direction as the axis direction of the wire slot 11. It can be understood that the wire slot 31 and the wire slot 11 are in communication with each other, and at the same time, they are arranged in the same direction, so that the cable can extend between the wire slot 31 and the wire slot 11 without bending or folding.

[0059] In order to further play a waterproof role, optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cable fixing structure further comprises a water blocking portion 4, the water blocking portion 4 is connected to the electrical box 3, and the water blocking portion 4 is located at the intersection of the wire slot 31 and the wire slot 11. The water blocking portion 4 arranged can intercept and block the water flowing along the extension direction of the cable, which can further avoid the water entering the electrical control panel 2, and can protect the electrical control panel 2 and the electrical devices connected to the electrical control panel 2.

[0060] It can be understood that when the water flows along the cable to the intersection of the wire slot 31 and the wire slot 11, the water blocking portion 4 produces a water blocking effect after the cable is inclined upward, and the water will all flow downward and will not continue to flow along the cable to contact the electrical control panel 2, thereby protecting the electrical control panel 2.

[0061] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the side of the water blocking portion 4 away from the wire slot 11 is provided with an inclined surface 41 inclined downward. The inclined surface 41 arranged can produce water guiding effect and support effect on the cable, which is conducive to the cable to be inclined upward, thereby facilitating the water to flow downward back to the wire slot 31, and further avoiding the water from contacting the electrical control panel 2.

[0062] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the water blocking portion 4 can be configured as a sleeve ring, the sleeve ring is sleeved on the cable, and the inner ring wall of the sleeve ring is tightly fitted with the cable.

[0063] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the middle partition 1 extends along a first direction, the electric control board 2 extends along a second direction, the axis of the wire clamping groove 11 extends along the second direction, and the wire clamping portion 21 is close to the end where the electric control board 2 is connected to the middle partition 1, so that the cable extends along the first direction after passing through the wire clamping groove 11. The first direction is set at an angle to the second direction. By setting the wire clamping portion 21 at the end where the electric control board 2 is connected to the middle partition 1, the wire clamping portion 21 is close to the side of the middle partition 1 facing the electric control board 2 on the basis of being close to the wire clamping groove 11, so that the cable can be attached to the side of the middle partition 1 facing the electric control board 2 and extend along the first direction after being connected to the wire clamping groove 11 and the wire clamping portion 21, thereby making the cable routing more regular. In some examples, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, that is, the middle partition 1 and the electric control board 2 can be set vertically.

[0064] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the wire clamping portion 21 includes a protrusion 211 and a receiving groove 212, the protrusion 211 is located at the slot of the receiving groove 212, and the protrusion 211 is closer to the wire clamping groove 11 than the receiving groove 212, so that the cable can bypass the protrusion 211 and be arranged in the receiving groove 212.

[0065] Among them, the protrusion 211 can support and guide the cable, so that the cable can extend along the first direction and then enter the accommodating groove 212 to maintain regularity, and the accommodating groove 212 can guide and limit the direction of the cable. The accommodating groove 212 can accommodate the cable, so that the cable can extend and route along the set direction.
