Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a display box and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Display boxes are used in electrical appliances such as air conditioners. When the wires inside the display box are under tension, they are prone to slipping out along the axis of the winding post, eventually causing the non-insulated layer of the wires to be exposed outside the display box, which poses a certain safety risk. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a display box and an air conditioner that reduce the probability of wires becoming loose from the winding posts.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the display box proposed in this utility model includes:

[0005] The box body is provided with a cable outlet;

[0006] A winding protrusion, provided on the box body, is used for winding wires; and

[0007] A wire clip, provided on the box body, is used to confine the wire to the wall of the box body;

[0008] The winding protrusions and the wire clamps are arranged along the direction of the wire routing. The wire is wound around at least one of the winding protrusions, passes through at least one of the wire clamps, and then exits the box body through the outlet.

[0009] In one embodiment, the winding protrusion and the wire clamp are staggered in the routing direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, a plurality of the winding protrusions and the wire-locking buckles are provided along the wire routing direction, and at least one of the winding protrusions is located in front of a plurality of the wire-locking buckles in the wire routing direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, at least one of the said wire clips is disposed near the wire outlet.

[0012] In one embodiment, the wire clip includes a wire clip segment and a connecting segment. The two ends of the connecting segment are respectively connected to the wire clip segment and the bottom wall of the box body. The connecting segment is connected to the side wall of the box body through a reinforcing connection.

[0013] In one embodiment, the wire clip further includes at least two reinforcing ribs, and the reinforcing ribs are provided on at least both sides of the connecting wall.

[0014] In one embodiment, the minimum distance between the winding protrusion and the wire-locking buckle ranges from 3 mm to 7 mm; and / or

[0015] The winding protrusion is in the form of a winding post or a bent winding plate; and / or

[0016] The box body, the wire clip, and the winding protrusion are made of PP.

[0017] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the box body is provided with a demolding opening corresponding to the snap fastener.

[0018] In one embodiment, the wall of the demolding opening protrudes from the bottom wall in a direction away from the wire clip.

[0037] This utility model proposes a display box.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the display box includes a box body 100, a winding protrusion 200, and a wire clamp 300. The box body 100 is provided with a wire outlet 110. The winding protrusion 200 is provided on the box body 100 for winding the wire 500. The wire clamp 300 is provided on the box body 100 for confining the wire 500 within the wall of the box body 100. The winding protrusion 200 and the wire clamp 300 are arranged along the routing direction of the wire 500. The wire 500 is wound around at least one winding protrusion 200, passes through at least one wire clamp 300, and then exits the box body 100 through the wire outlet 110.

[0039] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide a winding protrusion 200 for the wire 500 to be wound, and to provide a wire clamp 300 to hold the wire 500. The wire clamp 300 and the bottom wall of the box body 100 together restrict the displacement of the wire 500 in the axial direction of the winding protrusion 200. Even if the wire 500 is deformed due to tension, or even if the display box is deformed as a whole, the wire clamp 300 will still hold the wire 500 tightly, so that the wire 500 will not come off the winding protrusion 200, reducing the probability of the wire 500 coming off the wall of the box body and preventing the non-insulating layer of the wire 500 from leaking out of the display box.

[0040] It should be noted that the direction of conductor 500 can be referenced. Figures 3 to 6 The direction of the dotted line.

[0041] Optionally, in the wiring direction, the winding protrusion 200 and the wire clamp 300 are staggered. It should be noted that the winding protrusion 200 is located on one side of the wire clamping entrance of the wire clamp 300. This allows the winding protrusion 200 to restrict the wire 500 from escaping from the wire clamp 300, thereby limiting the wire 500 and reducing the risk of it escaping. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the winding protrusion 200 and the wire clamp 300 ensures that there are no obstructions directly in front of the wire clamp 300, making it easier to insert the wire 500 into the clamp, thus making insertion more convenient and effortless. Of course, this solution is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the winding protrusion 200 and the wire clamp 300 can also be arranged opposite each other in the wiring direction.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 3 Optionally, a plurality of winding protrusions 200 and wire clamps 300 are provided along the wiring direction. At least one winding protrusion 200 is located in front of a plurality of wire clamps 300 in the wiring direction. It can be understood that when the wiring path is short, only one winding protrusion 200 and / or wire clamp 300 may be provided. This can stabilize and limit the wire 500 while reducing the number of winding protrusions 200 and wire clamps 300, thereby reducing production costs. When the wiring path is long, multiple winding protrusions 200 and / or wire clamps 300 may be provided. Multiple winding protrusions 200 and / or multiple wire clamps 300 are arranged at intervals along the wiring direction. This creates a longer wire clamping gap between the multiple winding protrusions 200 and / or multiple wire clamps 300, which can increase the limiting stability of the wire 500.

[0043] It should be noted that "several" refers to one or more.

[0044] In this configuration, any one of the wire clips 300 is offset from any one of the winding protrusions 200.

[0045] Furthermore, at least one wire clip 300 is set near the outlet 110, so that the wire clip 300 near the outlet 110 can be used to hold the wire of the conductor 500 near the outlet 110, thereby increasing the stability of the conductor 500's positioning.

[0046] Optionally, the wire clip 300 includes a wire clipping segment 310 and a connecting segment 320. The two ends of the connecting segment 320 are respectively connected to the wire clipping segment 310 and the bottom wall of the box body 100. The connecting segment 320 is connected to the side wall of the box body 100 through a reinforcing connecting part 400. It can be understood that the wire clipping segment 310 extends towards the line of defense close to the winding protrusion 200 to clip the wire 500, while the connecting segment 320 is connected to the side wall of the box body 100 through the reinforcing connecting part 400. This can increase the strength of the connecting segment 320 and reduce the risk that the connecting segment 320 will deform when the wire 500 is subjected to tension, causing the wire 500 to fall off the winding protrusion 200.

[0047] Furthermore, the wire clip 300 also includes at least two reinforcing ribs 330. Reinforcing ribs 330 are provided on at least both sides of the connecting wall. The setting of reinforcing ribs 330 can further increase the strength of the connecting section 320 and reduce the risk that the connecting section 320 will deform when the conductor 500 is subjected to tension, causing the conductor 500 to come off the winding protrusion 200.

[0048] In this embodiment, two reinforcing ribs 330 are provided, and the two reinforcing ribs 330 are respectively provided on both sides of the connecting wall. When the bottom wall of the box body is provided with a demolding opening 120, the reinforcing ribs 330 are provided corresponding to the opening wall of the demolding opening 120.

[0049] Furthermore, the minimum distance between the winding protrusion 200 and the wire clamp 300 ranges from 3mm to 7mm. This minimum distance is denoted as 'a', and the range of 'a' is 3mm ≤ a ≤ 7mm. (Refer to...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 The minimum distance between the winding protrusion 200 and the wire clamp 300 is limited to between 3mm and 7mm. This ensures that the wire body of the conductor 500 can be easily inserted while not easily coming out of the wire clamp 300. In other words, it can effectively ensure the ease of assembly and the reliability of the assembly of the conductor 500.

[0050] In this embodiment, the minimum distance between the winding protrusion 200 and the wire clamp 300 is 5mm, which can further ensure that the wire can be easily inserted while not easily coming out of the wire clamp 300.

[0051] Optionally, the winding protrusion 200 may be a winding post or a bent winding plate.

[0052] In one embodiment, the winding protrusion 200 is a winding post with a smooth surface, which can reduce wear between the wire 500 and the winding protrusion 200.

[0053] In the second embodiment, the winding protrusion 200 is a bent winding plate, and the winding plate segment near the wire clamp 300 extends obliquely toward the wire clamp 300, so as to guide the wire 500 toward the wire clamp 300.

[0054] It should be noted that when the display box has multiple cable outlets 110, each cable outlet 110 is provided with a cable clip 300 and a winding protrusion 200. The winding protrusion 200 can be partially a bent winding plate and partially a winding post; the winding protrusion 200 can also be entirely a bent winding plate, or the winding protrusion 200 can be entirely a winding post. No restrictions are placed on the winding protrusion 200 here.

[0055] Optionally, the box body 100, the winding protrusion 200, and the wire clip 300 are made of PP (polypropylene). This is because PP material has a low density, making it lightweight and easy to carry and process. This makes the air conditioner display box more convenient in production, transportation, and installation, reducing costs. Furthermore, PP material has a high heat distortion temperature and thermal stability, maintaining stable performance under certain high-temperature environments. This ensures that the air conditioner display box is not easily deformed or damaged during long-term operation, guaranteeing its service life. Secondly, PP material has good processability and can be made into various shapes through injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and other processing methods. This allows the air conditioner display box to be customized according to different design requirements, meeting diverse market demands. Moreover, compared to other materials, PP material is relatively inexpensive and readily available. This helps control the production cost of the air conditioner display box and improves the product's market competitiveness. Of course, this solution is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the box body 100, the winding protrusion 200, and the wire clip 300 can also be made of other materials, such as, but not limited to, ABS plastic and PET (polyester film).

[0056] Furthermore, the box body 100, the winding protrusion 200, and the wire-locking buckle 300 are integrally formed. This integral forming process reduces the assembly steps between the box body 100, the winding protrusion 200, and the wire-locking buckle 300, eliminating the need for assembling and debugging multiple components. This reduces the complexity and time cost of the production process, significantly improving the production efficiency and reducing the production cost of the display box. Secondly, the integral forming process eliminates assembly gaps between the box body 100, the winding protrusion 200, and the wire-locking buckle 300, making the overall structure of the display box more robust and durable. It also reduces the risk of failure due to improper assembly or loose components. Of course, this solution is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the box body 100, the winding protrusion 200, and the wire-locking buckle 300 can also be welded together.

[0057] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8Optionally, the bottom wall of the box body 100 is provided with a demolding opening 120 corresponding to the wire clip 300. That is, after the box body 100, the winding protrusion 200 and the wire clip 300 are integrally injection molded, the demolding opening 120 facilitates demolding and avoids the wire clip 300 interfering with demolding. This allows the top surface of the wire clip 300 to be made into a sloping surface to guide demolding, thus simplifying the mold. Of course, this solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the demolding opening 120 may be omitted, and the top surface of the wire clip 300 may be made into a sloping surface to guide demolding.

[0058] Furthermore, the wall of the demolding opening 120 protrudes from the bottom wall in a direction away from the wire clip 300, which increases the creepage distance of the wire 500 and thus increases the safety of the display box.

[0059] The protrusion height of the demolding opening 120 is between 4mm and 8mm, which can prevent the operator's fingers from touching the wire 500 through the demolding opening 120 during use, thereby increasing the safety of the display box.

[0060] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes a display box. The specific structure of the display box is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0061] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
