Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the development of modern technology and the improvement of living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable device in both home and commercial environments. The stability and safety of air conditioning systems are crucial to users' comfort. The electrical box, as a vital component of the air conditioning system, plays a crucial role in controlling and protecting various electrical components of the air conditioner. In the current manufacturing process of indoor air conditioning units, the electrical box is typically fixed using screws. Production line workers attach the electrical box to the bottom shell of the indoor unit and secure it with one or two screws. However, this production method has significant drawbacks. First, because the screw holes are close to the side of the electrical box, workers need to use long electric screwdriver bits to fix the screws, leading to inconvenience and affecting production efficiency. Second, the screw fixing method consumes a large amount of screw material, increasing material costs. Furthermore, the need for specific tools for fixing and removing screws also increases labor costs, hindering cost reduction and efficiency improvement for enterprises.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing air conditioning electrical box to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide an electrical box that can be snapped into the required installation position through a snap-fit ​​structure, thereby saving installation time, reducing labor intensity, saving installation materials, and reducing the production cost of air conditioners.

[0005] An electrical appliance box includes a box body with an opening, comprising:

[0006] The box body has several different snap-fit ​​structures on the side away from the opening, and the snap-fit ​​structures are used to snap into the mounting position of the electrical box.

[0007] This electrical box can be used with air conditioners, and the openings on the box body are for installing or removing electrical components. By incorporating several differently structured snap-fit ​​mechanisms, the electrical box can be repeatedly snapped and secured at the installation position, thereby improving installation stability. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​mechanism simplifies the assembly process during production; assembly workers simply align the snap-fit ​​mechanism with the latches or other limiting components at the installation position and gently push it in to secure it, eliminating the need for additional screws. This greatly simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and helps shorten product delivery cycles. Eliminating screws reduces the procurement and usage costs of screws and other materials, as well as the additional labor costs associated with screw installation.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a first snap-fit ​​component and a second snap-fit ​​component, wherein the first snap-fit ​​component and the second snap-fit ​​component are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the box body;

[0009] The first card connector is provided with a first card connector limiting surface, and the second card connector is provided with a second card connector limiting surface.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first snap-fit ​​member has a first end and a second end that are disposed opposite to each other. Both the first end and the second end are fixed on the box body, and the first end and the second end protrude outward from the side wall of the box body.

[0011] The first snap-fit ​​limiting surface is disposed on the top of the first snap-fit ​​member, and the first snap-fit ​​limiting surface is recessed downward from the top of the first snap-fit ​​member.

[0012] In this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​component has a first end and a second end that are oppositely disposed, both of which are firmly fixed to the housing. Between the first end and the second end, the first snap-fit ​​component protrudes outward from the side wall of the housing, forming a structure that facilitates snap-fit ​​with the bottom shell. A first snap-fit ​​limiting surface is designed on the top of the first snap-fit ​​component. This limiting surface is slightly recessed downward from the top of the first snap-fit ​​component, forming a stable snap-fit ​​point. When the electrical box is assembled onto the bottom shell, the first snap-fit ​​limiting surface makes tight contact with the corresponding structure (such as a limiting hole) on the bottom shell of the air conditioner, achieving the first level of limiting fixation.

[0013] Similar to the first latching component, the second latching component is also securely fixed to the other side of the housing. At the top of the second latching component, a second latching limiting surface is designed. This limiting surface is used to engage with another structure on the bottom shell (such as a limiting buckle) to achieve a second layer of limiting fixation. This design makes the fixation between the electrical box and the bottom shell of the air conditioner more stable and reliable.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the second snap-fit ​​component includes a connecting end and a free end. The connecting end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box body, and the free end protrudes outward from the side wall of the box body. The second snap-fit ​​limiting surface is disposed on the top of the free end.

[0015] The second snap-fit ​​component includes a connecting end and a free end. The connecting end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing, while the free end protrudes outward from the side wall of the housing. A second snap-fit ​​limiting surface is provided at the top of the free end for engaging with a corresponding structure (such as a limiting buckle) on the bottom shell. In a preferred embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​limiting surface may be provided with anti-slip threads.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the second snap-fit ​​component has a material-reducing area. In practical applications, the first and second snap-fit ​​components of this application can be manufactured using injection molding. The material-reducing area is designed because the injection-molded part of the second snap-fit ​​component is relatively thick; reducing the amount of material reduces shrinkage and strengthens the structure, ensuring the stability of the electrical box.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the snap-fit ​​structure further includes a third snap-fit ​​component, which is disposed on the side wall of the housing away from the first snap-fit ​​component and the second snap-fit ​​component.

[0018] The third latching connector is located on the side wall of the box body, away from the first and second latching connectors. This third latching connector provides support for the box lid, allowing for a better connection between the lid and the box body, ensuring long-term stable use of the electrical box.

[0019] The second objective of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner, including a housing, on which a mounting position for installing an electrical box is provided;

[0020] The mounting position is fitted with the electrical box as described above.

[0021] The air conditioner casing has a dedicated mounting position for the electrical box. This mounting position is designed with the electrical box's snap-fit ​​structure in mind, ensuring accurate and secure installation onto the casing. In this embodiment, the air conditioner eliminates the need for screws or other additional fasteners to secure the electrical box, making assembly more convenient and efficient. This reduces air conditioner costs and improves production efficiency.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a fourth and a fifth locking member are provided at the edge of the mounting position. The fourth locking member is engaged with the first locking member, and the fifth locking member is engaged with the second locking member.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fourth snap-fit ​​component includes a slot disposed on the edge of the mounting position;

[0024] The fifth latching component includes a latching block and a connecting arm. The connecting arm is fixed to the housing, the latching block is fixed to the top of the connecting arm, and the bottom of the latching block is provided with a third latching limiting surface that is in contact with the second latching limiting surface.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the sidewall of the connecting arm is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0026] Specifically, the shape and size of the slot match the first snap-fit ​​component on the electrical box, allowing the first snap-fit ​​component to smoothly snap into the slot for secure fixing. The limiting surface on the fourth snap-fit ​​component contacts the second snap-fit ​​limiting surface on the electrical box, thereby achieving snap-fit ​​fixing. To enhance the structural stability, reinforcing ribs are also provided on the side wall of the connecting arm.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] This utility model provides an electrical box, which includes a box body with an opening for installing or removing electrical components. Several differently structured snap-fit ​​structures are provided on the side of the box body away from the opening, for engaging with the mounting positions of the electrical box. By incorporating these different snap-fit ​​structures, the electrical box can achieve multiple snap-fit ​​fixation at the mounting position during use. Furthermore, the different structures exert different forces after clamping, creating an interlocking effect that improves the installation stability of the electrical box. During production, assembly workers only need to align the snap-fit ​​structures with the buckles or other limiting components at the mounting position and gently push them in for fixation, eliminating the need for additional screws. This greatly simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and helps shorten product delivery cycles. Eliminating screw fixation reduces the procurement and usage costs of screws and other materials, as well as the additional labor costs associated with screw fixation.

[0029] This application also provides an air conditioner including the aforementioned electrical box, which simplifies the production process and reduces the installation time of the electrical box when stable installation of the electrical box is achieved, thereby effectively saving production time and reducing production costs.

[0040] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0041] With the development of modern technology and the improvement of living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable device in both home and commercial environments. The stability and safety of air conditioning systems are crucial to users' comfort. The electrical box, as a vital component of the air conditioning system, plays a crucial role in controlling and protecting various electrical components of the air conditioner. In the current manufacturing process of indoor air conditioning units, the electrical box is typically fixed using screws. Production line workers attach the electrical box to the bottom shell of the indoor unit and secure it with one or two screws. However, this production method has significant drawbacks. First, because the screw holes are close to the side of the electrical box, workers need to use long electric screwdriver bits to fix the screws, leading to inconvenience and affecting production efficiency. Second, the screw fixing method consumes a large amount of screw material, increasing material costs. Furthermore, the need for specific tools for fixing and removing screws also increases labor costs, hindering cost reduction and efficiency improvement for enterprises.

[0042] Based on this, this application provides an electrical box.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an electrical box, including a box body 2, wherein the box body 2 is provided with an opening 24, including:

[0045] The box body 2 has several different snap-fit ​​structures on the side away from the opening 24. The snap-fit ​​structures are used to snap into the mounting position 11 of the electrical box.

[0046] This electrical box can be used with air conditioners. The opening 24 on the box body 2 allows for the installation or removal of electrical components, improving the convenience of maintenance and component replacement. By incorporating several different snap-fit ​​structures, the electrical box can be repeatedly snapped and secured at the mounting position 11 during use, thereby improving the installation stability. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure simplifies the assembly process during production. Assembly workers only need to align the snap-fit ​​structure with the buckle or other limiting component at the mounting position and gently push it in to secure it, eliminating the need for additional screws. This greatly simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and helps shorten product delivery cycles. Eliminating screws reduces the procurement and usage costs of screws and other materials, as well as the additional labor costs associated with screw fixing.

[0047] In a more specific embodiment, the housing 2 is also equipped with a heat dissipation structure, which may be a heat dissipation hole, a heat sink, or a built-in fan, etc., to ensure that the internal temperature of the housing 2 is maintained at an appropriate level and to prevent the electrical components from overheating and being damaged. Dust screens or filters are installed at the heat dissipation holes or vents to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the housing 2, while maintaining airflow to ensure proper heat dissipation of the electrical components. A fixing bracket or mounting plate is provided inside the housing 2 to fix and support the electrical components, ensuring that they do not shake or fall off during transportation and use. A lid is provided at the opening 24 of the housing 2. The lid is hinged to the housing 2, or can be opened easily by a hinge, slide rail, snap-fit, or magnetic attraction mechanism, allowing users to easily open and close the lid for convenient installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the electrical components.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the walls of the housing 2 are designed with an electromagnetic shielding layer or shielding cover to reduce interference to surrounding electronic equipment and improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the product.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1.

[0051] In an embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a first snap-fit ​​member 21 and a second snap-fit ​​member 22, wherein the first snap-fit ​​member 21 and the second snap-fit ​​member 22 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the housing 2;

[0052] The first card connector 21 is provided with a first card connector limiting surface 213, and the second card connector 22 is provided with a second card connector limiting surface 223.

[0053] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​member 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 disposed opposite to each other, both the first end 211 and the second end 212 being fixed on the housing 2, and the first end 211 and the second end 212 protruding outward from the side wall of the housing 2.

[0054] The first snap-fit ​​limiting surface 213 is disposed on the top of the first snap-fit ​​member 21, and the first snap-fit ​​limiting surface 213 is recessed downward from the top of the first snap-fit ​​member 21.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​component 21 and the second snap-fit ​​component 22 are integrally injection molded with the housing 2. The first snap-fit ​​component 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 disposed opposite to each other, both ends of which are firmly fixed to the housing 2. Between the first end 211 and the second end 212, the first snap-fit ​​component 21 protrudes outward from the side wall of the housing 2, forming a structure that facilitates snap-fit ​​with the bottom shell. At the top of the first snap-fit ​​component 21, a first snap-fit ​​limiting surface 213 is designed. This limiting surface is slightly recessed downward from the top of the first snap-fit ​​component 21, forming a stable snap-fit ​​point. When the electrical box is assembled onto the bottom shell of the air conditioner, the first snap-fit ​​limiting surface 213 is in close contact with the corresponding structure (such as a limiting hole) on the bottom shell of the air conditioner, achieving the first limiting fixation. The depth of the recess can be designed as needed.

[0056] Similar to the first latching member 21, the second latching member 22 is also securely fixed to the other side of the housing 2. At the top of the second latching member 22, a second latching limiting surface 223 is designed. This limiting surface is used to engage with another structure on the bottom shell (such as a limiting buckle) to achieve a second layer of limiting fixation. Through this design, the fixation between the electrical box and the bottom shell of the air conditioner is more stable and reliable.

[0057] In addition, the edges of the first card connector 21 and the second card connector 22 are designed with rounded corners so that the first card connector 21 and the second card connector 22 can be installed better.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 2.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​member 22 includes a connecting end 221 and a free end 222. The connecting end 221 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box body 2, and the free end 222 protrudes outward from the side wall of the box body 2. The second snap-fit ​​limiting surface 223 is disposed on the top of the free end 222.

[0061] The second snap-fit ​​component 22 includes a connecting end 221 and a free end 222. The connecting end 221 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 2, while the free end 222 protrudes outward from the side wall of the housing 2. A second snap-fit ​​limiting surface 223 is provided at the top of the free end 222 for engaging with a corresponding structure (such as a limiting buckle) on the bottom shell.

[0062] In one embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​member 22 is integrally formed with the box body 2, and there is no gap between the second snap-fit ​​member 22 and the side wall of the box body 2. During the installation of the box body 2, the box body 2 and the limiting buckle of the bottom shell are engaged with each other. When disassembly is required, pressing the snap-fit ​​structure of the bottom shell causes the snap-fit ​​structure to deform, and the box body can be removed.

[0063] In addition, there can be a certain pressing gap between the side wall of the second snap-fit ​​22 and the side wall of the housing 2. This design allows the assembly worker to change the snap-fit ​​state of the second snap-fit ​​22 by pressing the free end 222 of the second snap-fit ​​22 or by pressing the snap-fit ​​structure on the bottom shell during the assembly process.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, anti-slip structures can be provided on both the first snap-fit ​​limiting surface 213 and the second snap-fit ​​limiting surface 223. The anti-slip structures increase the coefficient of friction between the snap-fit ​​limiting surface and the installation position. This can be achieved by providing anti-slip elements such as textures, grooves, protrusions, or rubber pads on the limiting surfaces. The increased friction prevents the electrical box from sliding or loosening after installation, thereby ensuring it is securely fixed in the predetermined position.

[0065] Example 4

[0066] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 3.

[0067] In this embodiment, the second snap-fit ​​component 22 is provided with a glue-reducing area 224. In actual applications, the first snap-fit ​​component 21 and the second snap-fit ​​component 22 of this application can be produced by injection molding. The glue-reducing area 224 is designed because the injection-molded part of the second snap-fit ​​component 22 is relatively thick. By reducing the glue content, shrinkage of the injection-molded part can be prevented, while strengthening the structural strength and ensuring the stability of the electrical box.

[0068] In practical applications, the shape of the skid plate 224 can vary, such as grooves, holes, ribs, etc. These shapes can reduce material usage, improve the stress distribution of the snap-fit ​​parts, and maintain or enhance the structural strength. It should be noted that the design of the skid plate 224 should avoid stress concentration in critical areas. A reasonable shape and layout can ensure that the injection molded part can distribute stress evenly under load, thereby improving product durability. The design of the skid plate 224 should consider the feasibility of injection molding production. For example, overly complex or difficult-to-fill skid plates 224 should be avoided to ensure a smooth injection molding process.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure further includes a third snap-fit ​​member 23, which is disposed on the side wall of the housing 2 away from the first snap-fit ​​member 21 and the second snap-fit ​​member 22.

[0070] The third latching member 23 is disposed on the side wall of the box body 2, and is located away from the first latching member 21 and the second latching member 22. The third latching member 23 is used to assist in fixing the lid of the electrical box.

[0071] The structure of the third connector 23 can be flexibly designed according to specific installation requirements and space constraints. For example, it may include a buckle, hook, slot, or other fixing structure that can match the cover of the electrical box.

[0072] In one embodiment, the cover of the electrical box may be provided with a slot that cooperates with the third snap-fit ​​component, so that the cover of the electrical box and the box body 2 are locked together after the slot engages with the third snap-fit ​​component 23.

[0073] In practical applications, assembly workers can easily align the snap-fit ​​structure of the electrical box with the corresponding structure on the bottom shell for assembly. The first snap-fit ​​component 21 and the second snap-fit ​​component 22 are in close contact with the limiting holes and limiting buckles of the bottom shell through their limiting surfaces, thus achieving fixation.

[0074] In another specific embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​member 21 and the second snap-fit ​​member 22 secure the box body 2 in the left and right directions within the mounting position 11. Limiting steps can also be provided on the front and rear surfaces of the mounting position to further limit and secure the box body 2 in both directions. This multi-snap-fit ​​design significantly improves the overall stability of the electrical box in the mounting position. Furthermore, by providing snap-fit ​​members at different locations on the box body 2, stress generated during installation or use can be more effectively dispersed. This stress-dispersing design helps extend the service life of the electrical box and its mounting components and reduces the risk of damage due to stress concentration.

[0075] Example 5

[0076] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1.

[0077] This embodiment provides an air conditioner, including a housing 1, on which a mounting position 11 for installing an electrical box is provided;

[0078] The electrical box described above is snapped into the mounting position 11.

[0079] The air conditioner housing 1 has a dedicated mounting position 11 for installing the electrical box. The mounting position 11 is designed with the electrical box's snap-fit ​​structure in mind, ensuring the electrical box can be accurately and securely installed on the housing 1. In this embodiment, the air conditioner eliminates the need for screws or other additional fasteners to secure the electrical box, making assembly more convenient and efficient. This reduces the cost of the air conditioner and improves production efficiency.

[0080] In this embodiment, the edge of the mounting position 11 is provided with a fourth snap-fit ​​member 12 and a fifth snap-fit ​​member 13. The fourth snap-fit ​​member 12 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​member 21, and the fifth snap-fit ​​member 13 is snapped into the second snap-fit ​​member 22.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fourth snap-fit ​​member 12 includes a slot disposed on the edge of the mounting position 11;

[0082] The fifth latching component 13 includes a latching block 131 and a connecting arm 132. The connecting arm 132 is fixed on the housing 1, the latching block 131 is fixed on the top of the connecting arm 132, and the bottom of the latching block 131 is provided with a third latching limiting surface 134 that is connected to the second latching limiting surface 223.

[0083] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the sidewall of the connecting arm 132 is provided with reinforcing ribs 133.

[0084] Specifically, the shape and size of the slot match the first latching member 21 on the electrical box, allowing the first latching member 21 to smoothly snap into the slot for secure fixing. The limiting surface on the fourth latching member 12 contacts the second latching limiting surface 223 on the electrical box, thereby achieving latching fixation. To enhance the structural stability, reinforcing ribs 133 are also provided on the side wall of the connecting arm 132.

[0085] Specifically, when installing the electrical box of the air conditioner, first align the box body 2 with the installation position 11, and then gently push it in. The first snap-fit ​​piece 21 on the electrical box will smoothly snap into the fourth snap-fit ​​piece 12 (slot) on the housing 1; at the same time, the second snap-fit ​​piece 22 on the electrical box will engage with the fifth snap-fit ​​piece 13 (block 131) on the housing 1 to form a stable snap-fit ​​connection.

[0086] This snap-fit ​​method allows the electrical box to be securely fixed to the mounting position 11 of the housing 1 without the need for additional fasteners such as screws. This not only simplifies the installation process and reduces installation costs, but also improves production efficiency.
