The wire harness accommodation device 10 has strong and weak electric lines inside, which are used to supply power and signal transmission to multiple fans respectively, and the multiple fans operate to transport hot air in the room to the outside, so as to keep the equipment working temperature in the room within a set range, and prevent the equipment in the cabinet from being shut down due to high temperature overload.

[0035] In some embodiments, the shell 20, the upper cover 30 and the partition 50 of the wire harness accommodation device 10 can be made of metal materials by sheet metal processing, or can be made of plastic materials, which are not limited here. In order to guarantee the service life and mechanical strength of the wire harness accommodation device 10, the shell 20 and the upper cover 30 are made of metal, for example, can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.

[0036] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2As shown, the upper cover 30 is mounted on the housing 20, forming a storage chamber for the wiring harness. Specifically, the housing 20 has a channel-shaped cross-section, and the housing 20 and the upper cover 30 interlock. When multiple fans are arranged in a row, the housing 20 extends along the direction of the fans, thereby collectively storing the wiring harnesses of multiple fans within the housing 20.

[0037] To facilitate the connection between the housing 20 and the upper cover 30, the housing 20 is provided with a connecting portion 232 extending away from the wiring harness storage cavity 22 at one end thereof near the upper cover 30.

[0038] In some embodiments, the connection portion 232 is a flange structure extending outward from the sidewall 23 of the housing 20 along both sides of the length of the housing 20. In some embodiments, the connection portion 232 is perpendicularly connected to the sidewall 23 of the housing 20, thereby ensuring that the connection portion 232 can fit closely with the upper cover 30 and reducing the gap between the connection portion 232 and the upper cover 30.

[0039] In some embodiments, the connection portion 232 is further provided with a plurality of first fixing holes 2321. The first fixing holes 2321 are through-hole structures and are used to connect the connection portion 232 to the upper cover 30. The connection portion 232 and the first fixing holes 2321 of the housing 20 can be processed simultaneously with the housing 20, or separately using sheet metal processing or mechanical processing methods.

[0040] In the above solution, the cross section of the shell 20 is in the shape of a channel steel, and the structure of the shell 20 has strength and anti-torsion properties.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the side wall 23 of the housing 20 is provided with a plurality of wire threading grooves 231, which are arranged at intervals along the length of the housing 20. The wire threading grooves 231 are U-shaped and have flanges to prevent the outer sheath of the wiring harness from being cut. The wire threading grooves 231 are used to guide the fan wiring harness into the wiring harness storage device 10. The wire threading grooves 231 can also be used to install the clamping head of the wiring harness to secure the wiring harness.

[0042] The storage chamber is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart drain openings 241. Specifically, the plurality of drain openings 241 are disposed on the bottom wall 24 of the housing 20, thereby draining water from the storage chamber to the exterior of the housing 20. In some embodiments, the drain openings 241 are circular holes or irregularly shaped holes extending through the bottom wall 24. The drain openings 241 and the wire threading slots 231 can be fabricated simultaneously with the manufacturing process of the housing 20, or separately using sheet metal or machining methods.

[0043] In the above scheme, the side wall 23 of the shell 20 is provided with a plurality of wire threading grooves 231, which is conducive to the neatness of the output of the strong and weak wire harnesses, and improves the aesthetics of the output of the wire harness storage device 10; the setting of the drain port 241 is conducive to the discharge of water inside the shell 20, preventing the soaking of the lines and corrosion of the shell 20.

[0044] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, to reduce the ingress of rainwater into the housing 20, the upper cover 30 includes an upper cover plate 33 and a water retaining portion 31. The water retaining portions 31 are provided on opposite sides of the upper cover plate 33, and each of the water retaining portions 31 extends toward the housing 20.

In other embodiments, the number of partitions 50 is at least two, and each partition 50 is arranged side by side in sequence to divide the storage chamber into a plurality of wiring harness storage chambers arranged side by side in sequence.

[0050] In some embodiments, the partition 52 is a long strip-shaped structure with a cross-section L-shaped, the vertical part of the partition 52 is L-shaped and extends along the length of the shell 20 and is consistent with the length of the shell 20, and the partition 52 is perpendicular to the bottom wall 24 of the shell 20. The mounting portion 53 is a flat part of the L-shaped and is connected with the bottom wall 24 of the shell 20.

[0051] In the present application, the partition 52 is also provided with a wire passing groove 55, which is arranged on the partition 52 at intervals, the height of the partition 52 is less than the height of the side wall 23, the bottom of the wire passing groove 55 is flush with the mounting portion 53, and the strong and weak electric lines can pass smoothly without cutting the wire skin. The processing process of the partition 52 and the wire passing groove 55 can be completed at the same time as the processing process of the partition 50, or can be processed separately by sheet metal and mechanical processing methods.

[0052] In the above scheme, the partition 50 is arranged inside the shell 20, and the wire harness in the strong electric wire harness storage cavity 21 and the weak electric wire harness storage cavity 22 is led out to the outside of the wire harness storage device through the wire slot 55 and the wire passing slot 231. Not only can the wire harness storage cavity be partitioned, but also the strong and weak electric lines can be stored separately, which is beneficial to the partition management of the lines and is also beneficial to the maintenance and replacement of the lines in the later period.

[0053] In some embodiments, the wire harness storage device 10 further comprises a sealing member (not shown), which can be a strip-shaped structure of plastic material with a cross-section of an angle steel shape, and the sealing member (not shown) is arranged between the connecting portion 232 and the upper cover 30 to play a waterproof sealing role, so that the storage space in the shell 20 can be better sealed.

[0054] In the above scheme, the wire harness storage device 10 is installed on the fan cabinet 100, the cabinet 100 can be installed in a place without shelter outside, sometimes the cabinet 100 and the wire harness storage device 10 are eroded by rain and wind, and in the present application, under the synergistic action of the water blocking portion 31 and the sealing member (not shown), the water immersion risk of the strong and weak electric lines in the wire harness storage device 10 can be greatly reduced. At the same time, the shell 20 of the wire harness storage device 10 is also provided with a drain port 241, even if a small amount of water enters through the two ends of the shell 20 or the wire passing slot 231, it can also flow out directly or evaporate and discharge through the drain port 241.

[0055] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
