[0050] The driver box 60 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the drive box 60 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a box body 61. The box body 61 has a motor slot 611 for accommodating a motor and a wiring structure 612. The wiring structure 612 includes a wire outlet 6121 and a wire passage groove 6124. The wire outlet 6121 is located on the side wall of the box body 61, and the wire passage groove 6124 is located on the bottom wall of the motor slot 611. The angle between the extending direction of the wire passage groove 6124 and the axial direction of the wire outlet 6121 is (e.g., ...) Figure 4 The angles α and β shown are acute angles, and the motor wire 621 is adapted to be located in the wire groove 6124 and pass through the outlet 6121.

[0052] It is understandable that the motor is accommodated by the motor slot 611 of the box body 61, thereby protecting and supporting the motor, effectively preventing external impurities from entering the motor and affecting its performance, and effectively preventing the motor from shifting due to vibration or external force during operation.

[0053] The motor's wire 621 is electrically connected to the drive box 60 via the wire guide 6124 and exit from the outlet 6121. When the wire 621 is pulled, the angle between the extension direction of the wire guide 6124 and the axial direction of the outlet 6121 is acute. At this acute angle, the wire 621 generates a large reverse force and a component of the pulling force, thus balancing the pulling force and preventing it from being transmitted to the motor's terminals. This effectively avoids the terminals from becoming loose due to tension, leading to poor contact. Therefore, this design ensures that the wire 621 will not exert any pulling force on the terminals throughout the entire product lifecycle (including assembly and operation), reducing the failure rate and improving reliability.

[0054] Meanwhile, with the cable outlet 6121 located on the side wall of the box body 61 and the cable tray 6124 located on the bottom wall of the motor tray 611, it is convenient for the wires 621 to be arranged within the wiring structure 612. This facilitates assembly while preventing the plug terminals from being pulled, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the cable outlet 6121 on the side wall of the box body 61 and the cable tray 6124 on the bottom wall of the motor tray 611 result in a simple wiring structure 612 that occupies little space in the drive box 60. This effectively simplifies the structure of the drive box 60, simplifies mold design, improves production efficiency, and reduces costs.

[0055] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the drive box 60 has a body 61 with a motor slot 611 for accommodating a motor and a wiring structure 612. The wiring structure 612 includes a wire outlet 6121 and a wire passage groove 6124. The acute angle between the extension direction of the wire passage groove 6124 and the axial direction of the wire outlet 6121 balances the pulling force, preventing the pulling force from being transmitted to the motor's terminals. This effectively avoids loosening of the terminals due to tension, resulting in poor contact, reducing the failure rate, and improving reliability. Furthermore, the wire outlet 6121 is located on the side wall of the body 61, and the wire passage groove 6124 is located on the bottom wall of the motor slot 611, facilitating the arrangement of the wires 621 within the wiring structure 612. This simplifies assembly, reduces assembly difficulty, and increases assembly efficiency. The wiring structure 612 is also simple, occupying little space in the drive box 60, thus effectively simplifying the structure of the drive box 60, simplifying mold design, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the motor slot 611 has a first baffle 613 and a second baffle 614, which are spaced apart, and a wire passage groove 6124 is formed between the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614.

[0057] Therefore, the pulling force is balanced by the acute angle between the extension direction of the cable tray 6124 formed between the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 and the axial direction of the cable outlet 6121. Simultaneously, the spaced first baffle 613 and second baffle 614 provide support and fixation for the wire 621 within the cable tray 6124, effectively preventing the wire 621 from moving or swaying within the cable tray 6124, thus avoiding damage to the wire 621 due to friction or noise generation. Furthermore, the first baffle 613 and second baffle 614 enhance the structural strength and stability of the cable tray 6124, enabling it to withstand certain external forces or pressures, preventing deformation or damage to the cable tray 6124 due to stress, and ensuring the reliability of the cable routing structure 612.

[0058] It should be noted that the wire channel 6124 can also be a groove in which the bottom wall of the motor channel 611 is recessed toward the opening 6122 away from the motor channel 611, thereby cooperating with the wire outlet 6121 to ensure that the wire 621 will not pull on the plug terminal throughout the entire product life cycle (including the assembly and operation stages), thereby reducing the failure rate and improving reliability.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 are arranged in parallel. This arrangement further ensures that the angle between the extension direction of the cable groove 6124 formed by the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 and the axial direction of the cable outlet 6121 is an acute angle, further improving reliability. Simultaneously, the parallel arrangement of the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 allows them to support each other, forming a stable structural frame that effectively disperses and bears forces from different directions, contributing to improved overall structural stability and preventing deformation or damage caused by external forces.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outlet 6121 has an opening 6122, the minimum width of which is smaller than the diameter of the motor wire 621. This opening 6122 effectively holds the wire 621 in place, preventing it from shifting or falling off at the outlet 6121, thus improving the safety and stability of the entire electrical system.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, guide ramps 6123 are provided at both ends of the opening 6122. From the bottom wall of the motor slot 611 to the opening 6122, the two guide ramps 6123 are inclined in a direction away from each other. It can be understood that since the width of the opening 6122 is smaller than the diameter of the motor wire 621, the two guide ramps 6123 allow the wire 621 to be more easily inserted into the outlet 6121 from the opening 6122 along the guide ramps 6123, reducing assembly difficulty and improving installation efficiency. At the same time, the guide ramps 6123 guide the wire 621 smoothly into the opening 6122, reducing resistance and friction during installation, further improving installation efficiency.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-5 As shown, there are multiple motors spaced apart, multiple wire grooves 6124 corresponding to multiple motors, and multiple wire outlets 6121 corresponding to multiple motors.

[0063] Therefore, this arrangement allows the wires 621 of each motor to be led out of the drive box 60 from the corresponding outlet 6121 through the corresponding wire groove 6124. The acute angle between the extension direction of each wire groove 6124 and the axial direction of the corresponding outlet 6121 can balance the pulling force, thereby effectively preventing the motor terminals from loosening due to tension, resulting in poor contact, reducing the failure rate, and improving reliability.

[0064] Meanwhile, the wires 621 of each motor are led out of the drive box 60 through the corresponding wire grooves 6124 and the corresponding outlets 6121, so that the wires 621 of each motor have a predetermined path for wiring, avoiding the messy crossing of multiple wires 621 and the mutual interference between wires 621, improving the neatness of the wiring and the overall reliability.

[0065] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, multiple motors are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the box body 61 (as shown in direction a), multiple cable outlets 6121 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the box body 61, and multiple cable grooves 6124 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the box body 61 (as shown in direction b).

[0066] Therefore, by arranging multiple outlets 6121 at intervals along the length of the box body 61, the wires 621 of multiple motors are led out from the same side, making electrical management of the multiple wires 621 more convenient and reducing safety hazards caused by messy wires 621. At the same time, by arranging multiple motors at intervals along the length of the box body 61, multiple outlets 6121 at intervals along the length of the box body 61, and multiple wire channels 6124 at intervals along the width of the box body 61, the arrangement of multiple motors and multiple wires 621 within the box body 61 is more neat and orderly, and the layout of multiple motors and multiple wires 621 within the motor channel 611 is more reasonable, effectively avoiding messy crossing of wires 621 and improving reliability and aesthetics.

[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, multiple wire guide channels 6124 are arranged in parallel. This arrangement ensures that the wiring method of the wires 621 is identical in each wire guide channel 6124, allowing assembly personnel to quickly familiarize themselves with and master the wiring process, and more easily repeat the same wiring actions without frequent changes in operating procedures, thus improving assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the parallel wire guide channels 6124 provide the wires 621 with a uniform wiring environment and standard, ensuring the wiring quality and consistency of each wire 621, effectively reducing wiring steps and assembly error rates, avoiding problems such as wire damage or layout confusion caused by improper operation, and facilitating inspection and maintenance by maintenance personnel.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the motor slot 611 has a first baffle 613 and a second baffle 614. The first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 are spaced apart to form a wire passage slot 6124. The first baffle 613 of one wire passage slot 6124 and the second baffle 614 of the other wire passage slot 6124 are connected by a connecting rib 615.

[0069] Therefore, this arrangement effectively enhances the structural strength of the connected first retaining rib 613 and second retaining rib 614, enabling them to support each other and form a stable structural frame. This further improves the overall structural stability and prevents deformation or damage caused by external forces. Simultaneously, the connecting rib 615 connecting the first retaining rib 613 and second retaining rib 614 provides a guiding function for the wire 621, further guiding it to be routed in a predetermined direction. This avoids the chaotic crossing of multiple wires 621 and mutual interference between them, improving the neatness of the wiring and overall reliability.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, there are two motors spaced apart and arranged at intervals along the length of the box body 61. There are two wire passage slots 6124 corresponding to the multiple motors and arranged at intervals along the width of the box body 61. There are two wire outlets 6121 corresponding to the multiple motors and arranged at intervals along the length of the box body 61. The terminals of the two motors are located on the side away from each other. The two ends along the length of the box body 61 are respectively end A and end B. The wire outlet 6121 through which the wire 621 of the motor at the first end passes is located on the side of the other wire outlet 6121 closer to end A. The wire passage slot 6124 where the wire 621 of the motor at the first end is located is located on the side of the other wire passage slot 6124 closer to the wire outlet 6121. Therefore, this setting makes the wiring of the two motor wires 621 in the wire trough 6124 more rational, making the arrangement of the two wires 621 in the box body 61 more neat and orderly, and making the layout of the two motors and two wires 621 in the motor slot 611 more reasonable, improving reliability and aesthetics.

[0071] Furthermore, a wire passage groove 6124 is formed between the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614. One end of the first baffle 613 in the length direction of the wire passage groove 6124, where the motor wire 621 is located at the first end, is connected to the side wall with the wire outlet 6121, and the other end is spaced apart from the side wall with the wire outlet 6121. It can be understood that since the angle between the extension direction of the wire passage groove 6124 formed between the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 and the axial direction of the wire outlet 6121 is an acute angle, this arrangement of the first baffle 613 makes it easier for the wire 621 to bend at the acute angle position, reducing the difficulty of wiring, effectively avoiding wear on the wire 621, and improving overall reliability.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-5 As shown, there are two wiring structures 612, located on both sides of the box body 61 in the width direction. This arrangement allows the motor wires 621 to be led out of the box from either side of the box body 61 in the width direction, enabling the drive box 60 to be used in various application scenarios and improving its versatility and flexibility.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-5 As shown, the two wiring structures 612 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the box body 61. This arrangement prevents the wiring terminals from being pulled, while simultaneously simplifying the structure of the box body 61, reducing unnecessary complexity and design difficulty, facilitating mass production and assembly, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs. Furthermore, since the two wiring structures 612 are symmetrically arranged, their functions and performance are equal, allowing for interchangeable use, further increasing the versatility and flexibility of the drive box 60.

[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, the width of the wire passage 6124 is 3mm-8mm. It is understood that the minimum width of the wire passage 6124 needs to be large enough to ensure that the wire 621 can pass smoothly through the wire passage 6124, avoiding excessive compression or jamming of the wire 621, which could prevent the wire 621 from passing through or damage it. At the same time, if the width of the wire passage 6124 is too large, the wire 621 may wobble or become unstable within the wire passage 6124, making it impossible to guarantee that the wire 621 will generate a large component of the reverse and tensile forces at the acute angle to balance the tensile force. Therefore, by limiting the width of the wire passage 6124 to 3mm-8mm, while ensuring that the wire 621 can pass smoothly through the wire passage 6124, when the wire 621 receives a tensile force, a large component of the reverse and tensile forces will be generated at the acute angle to balance the tensile force. It should be noted that the width of the wire passage 6124 can be 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm.

[0075] Furthermore, the width of the wire guide 6124 is the same as the diameter of the wire 621, or the width of the wire guide 6124 is within 1 mm greater than the diameter of the wire 621. This arrangement further ensures that the wire 621 can smoothly pass through the wire guide 6124, while also creating a large counterforce at the acute angle when the wire 621 is subjected to tensile force, balancing the tensile force with the component of the tensile force. For example, the width of the wire guide 6124 is 4 mm, and the diameter of the motor wire 621 is 3 mm-4 mm.

[0076] It should be noted that when the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 form a through groove 6124, the distance between the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 is 3mm-8mm.

[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, the depth of the wire passage 6124 is 4mm-15mm. It is understood that the minimum depth of the wire passage 6124 needs to be sufficiently large to ensure that the wire 621 can pass through the wire passage 6124 smoothly and without obstruction, avoiding compression of the wire 621 due to insufficient depth, which could lead to deformation, damage, or decreased transmission performance. At the same time, an excessively deep wire passage 6124 would result in unnecessary space waste, increasing the volume and cost of the box body 61. Therefore, by limiting the depth of the wire passage 6124 to 4mm-15mm, the cost of the drive box 60 is reduced while ensuring that the wire 621 can pass through the wire passage 6124 smoothly and without obstruction. It should be noted that the depth of the wire passage 6124 can be 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, or 15mm.

[0078] It should be noted that when the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 form a through groove 6124, the first baffle 613 and the second baffle 614 are 4mm-15mm away from the bottom wall of the motor groove 611 in the direction of the depth of the motor groove 611.

[0079] The driving component 400 of this utility model embodiment is described below.

[0080] like Figures 1-5As shown, the drive assembly 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a motor and a drive box 60. The motor is located in a motor slot 611, and the motor wire 621 is located in a wire guide groove 6124 with one end extending from the outlet 6121 in the length direction. The box body 61 of the drive box 60 has a motor slot 611 for accommodating the motor and a wiring structure 612. The wiring structure 612 includes an outlet 6121 and a wire guide groove 6124. By making an acute angle between the extension direction of the wire guide groove 6124 and the axial direction of the outlet 6121, the pulling force can be balanced, so that the pulling force is not transmitted to the motor terminal, thereby effectively preventing the terminal from loosening due to tension and causing poor contact, reducing the failure rate and improving reliability. Meanwhile, the wire outlet 6121 is located on the side wall of the box body 61, and the wire groove 6124 is located on the bottom wall of the motor groove 611, which facilitates the arrangement of the wire 621 in the wiring structure 612, making assembly easier, reducing assembly difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency. Moreover, the wiring structure 612 is simple and occupies little space in the drive box 60, thereby effectively simplifying the structure of the drive box 60, simplifying mold design, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0081] According to the drive assembly 400 of this utility model embodiment, a drive box 60 is provided. The acute angle between the extension direction of the wire passage 6124 and the axial direction of the wire outlet 6121 balances the pulling force, preventing it from being transmitted to the motor's wiring terminals. This effectively avoids loosening of the wiring terminals due to tension, leading to poor contact, reducing the failure rate, and improving reliability. Simultaneously, the wire outlet 6121 is located on the side wall of the box body 61, and the wire passage 6124 is located on the bottom wall of the motor slot 611, facilitating the arrangement of the wires 621 within the wiring structure 612. This simplifies assembly, reduces assembly difficulty, and increases assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the wiring structure 612 is simple and occupies little space in the drive box 60, effectively simplifying the structure of the drive box 60, simplifying mold design, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0082] The air outlet structure 1001 of this utility model embodiment is described below.

[0083] like Figures 1-5 and Figure 8As shown, the air outlet structure 1001 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air outlet frame 20, a switch door 300, an air guide grille 200, and a drive assembly 400. The air outlet frame 20 has an air outlet 202. The switch door 300 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202 for opening or closing the air outlet 202. The air guide grille 200 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202. When the switch door 300 closes the air outlet 202, along the airflow direction, the switch door 300 is located downstream of the air guide grille 200. The drive box 60 is connected to the air outlet frame 20 and located on one side of the length direction of the air outlet 202. A motor is used to drive the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 to rotate.

[0084] Understandably, when the air outlet structure 1001 is supplying air, the drive assembly 400 drives the switch door 300 to rotate to the position where the air outlet 202 is open, ensuring airflow and reducing air volume loss. The switch door 300 also guides the airflow direction, expanding the air supply angle and range of the air outlet structure 1001. Simultaneously, the drive assembly 400 drives the air guide grille 200 to rotate, guiding the airflow and changing its direction, thus achieving air supply at different angles and increasing the air supply angle and range to effectively meet different user needs. When the air outlet structure 1001 is closed, the switch door 300 rotates to the position where the air outlet 202 is closed, providing a dustproof effect to ensure the cleanliness of the interior of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air guide grille 200. In addition, by connecting the drive box 60 to the air outlet frame 20, the drive assembly 400 is fixed, ensuring the stable and reliable rotation of the door opening and closing motor 62 driving the door opening and closing motor 300 and the air grille motor driving the air guide grille 200, thereby improving the overall reliability.

[0085] According to the air outlet structure 1001 of this utility model embodiment, a drive assembly 400 is provided. Through the opening and closing door 300 and the air guide grille 200, air can be delivered at different angles, increasing the air delivery angle and range, thereby effectively meeting different user needs. Simultaneously, the acute angle between the extension direction of the wire groove 6124 and the axial direction of the wire outlet 6121 balances the pulling force, preventing it from being transmitted to the motor's wiring terminals. This effectively avoids loosening of the wiring terminals due to tension, leading to poor contact, reducing the failure rate, and improving reliability.

[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5As shown, there are multiple motors, including a door opening / closing motor 62 and a wind deflector grille motor 63. The door opening / closing motor 62 drives the door 300 to rotate, and the wind deflector grille motor 63 drives the wind deflector grille 200 to rotate. Thus, by having the door opening / closing motor 62 drive the door 300 to rotate and the wind deflector grille motor 63 drive the wind deflector grille 200 to rotate, the door 300 and the wind deflector grille 200 are driven by different motors, improving the reliability of the air outlet structure 1001. Simultaneously, by using an acute angle between the extension direction of the wire groove 6124 and the axial direction of the outlet 6121, the pulling force can be balanced, preventing the pulling force from being transmitted to the wiring terminals of the wind deflector grille motor 63 and the door opening / closing motor 62. This effectively avoids the wiring terminals from becoming loose due to tension, leading to poor contact, reducing the failure rate, and improving the reliability of the rotation of the door 300 and the wind deflector grille 200.

[0087] The air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0088] An air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes an air outlet structure 1001.

[0089] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the air conditioner 1000 is provided with an air outlet structure 1001. Through the opening and closing door 300 and the air guide grille 200, the air conditioner 1000 can deliver air at different angles and increase the air outlet angle and range, thereby effectively meeting different user needs. Simultaneously, the acute angle between the extension direction of the wire channel 6124 and the axial direction of the wire outlet 6121 balances the pulling force, preventing it from being transmitted to the motor's wiring terminals. This effectively avoids loosening of the wiring terminals due to tension, leading to poor contact, reducing the failure rate, and improving reliability.
