[0036] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary only, and are used only for explaining the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0037] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that, if there is a description of orientation, for example, the orientation or position relationship indicated by up, down, etc. is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0038] In the description of the present application, if there is a description of first, second, etc. only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or the sequence of indicated technical features.

[0039] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and the person skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the present application according to the specific content of the technical scheme.

[0040] The box body of the heat pump equipment is generally made of metal material to provide protection for the functional components inside. Among them, the wire controller, as a device for the user to interact with the heat pump equipment, is usually installed on the front side of the shell to facilitate intuitive operation and observation by the user, and the wireless communication module is located on the inner side of the wire controller, i.e. hidden in the inner cavity of the shell. However, the metal shell will interfere with the wireless signal transmission of the wireless communication module, hinder the normal transmission of the wireless signal of the antenna, and thus cause unstable wireless communication of the heat pump equipment.

[0041] In the related art, in order to obtain stable signals, the general practice is to place the antenna outside the box body and connect the wire controller with the antenna through a wire. However, placing the antenna outside the box body not only destroys the original appearance design of the heat pump equipment, but also increases the size of the heat pump equipment and occupies more installation space, and also increases the risk of damage to the antenna.

[0042] Therefore, some embodiments of the present application propose a box assembly suitable for a heat pump equipment 2000, which will be described in detail with reference to Figures 1 to 8 .

[0043] For convenience of description, the heat pump equipment 2000 is taken as an example for description in the following description. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the embodiments of the present application, the heat pump equipment 2000 includes a box assembly, a fan assembly 2130, and a wire control device 2122, and other functional components. The box assembly includes a main body 2100 and a top cover assembly 1000. The inside of the main body 2100 is provided with an inner cavity 2110, and the top cover assembly 1000 is arranged on the upper side of the main body 2100 and covers the main body 2100, thereby closing the inner cavity 2110.

[0044] Among them, the fan assembly 2130 and the functional components are arranged in the inner cavity 2110, and the wire control device 2122 is installed on the main body 2100. The inner side of the wire control device 2122 is provided with a wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module is located in the inner cavity 2110. Among them, the inner cavity 2110 is divided into an air inlet cavity 2111 and an air outlet cavity 2112 by a heat exchanger or a partition plate. The top cover assembly 1000 is provided with an air inlet 110 and an air outlet 120. The air inlet cavity 2111 is in communication with the air inlet 110, and the air of the external environment can enter the air inlet cavity 2111 through the air inlet 110. The fan assembly 2130 is arranged in the air outlet cavity 2112, and the air duct 2131 formed inside the fan assembly 2130 is in communication with the air outlet 120.

[0045] Specifically, referring to Figure 3As shown in the utility model embodiment, the top cover assembly 1000 comprises: a first cover body 100, an antenna 200, and a second cover body 300, wherein the first cover body 100 is arranged at an opening of the main body 2100 and connected with the main body 2100, so as to form an inner cavity 2110 together with the main body 2100. It should be noted that the first cover body 100 and the main body 2100 can be detachably connected or fixedly connected, and the present embodiment does not limit this. The first cover body 100 is provided with an air inlet 110 and an air outlet 120, and the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 are arranged at intervals. The air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 penetrate through the first cover body 100 along the height direction of the top cover assembly 1000, so as to communicate with the inner cavity 2110.

[0046] With reference to the foregoing Figure 3 As shown in the utility model embodiment, the side of the first cover body 100 away from the inner cavity 2110, i.e. the upper end surface of the first cover body 100, is provided with a mounting groove 130, and the mounting groove 130 is arranged at intervals with the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120. The mounting groove 130 is adapted to accommodate the antenna 200. In an example, the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the first cover body 100, and the mounting groove 130 is arranged at the front side of the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 and extends along the length direction of the first cover body 100, so as to avoid interference between the mounting groove 130 and the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120, and at the same time, ensure that the size of the first cover body 100 in the front-rear direction is not forced to increase due to the arrangement of the mounting groove 130. It should be noted that the length direction of the first cover body 100 is consistent with the left-right direction of the heat pump equipment 2000, and the width direction of the first cover body 100 is consistent with the front-rear direction of the heat pump equipment 2000.

[0047] In the present embodiment, the downward concave mounting groove 130 ensures the flatness of the upper end surface of the first cover body 100, and avoids damaging the original appearance design of the heat pump equipment 2000. In the present embodiment, the shape of the mounting groove 130 matches the antenna 200, and the size of the mounting groove 130 can be slightly larger than the antenna 200, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the antenna 200. In addition, the mounting groove 130 extends along the connecting line direction of the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120, so as to avoid increasing the width of the first cover body 100 due to the arrangement of the mounting groove 130.

[0048] With reference to the foregoing Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the utility model embodiment, the antenna 200 is fixed in the mounting groove 130, and can be electrically connected with the wireless communication module installed in the inner cavity 2110 through a wire, so that the wireless communication module can obtain wireless signals through the antenna 200, thereby avoiding the antenna 200 being arranged in the inner cavity 2110 and reducing the interference of the main body made of metal material on wireless signal transmission. The second cover body 300 is arranged at the opening of the mounting groove 130 and connected with the first cover body 100, thereby closing the mounting groove 130 and avoiding the antenna 200 being exposed, which not only does not damage the overall appearance of the heat pump equipment 2000, but also reduces the risk of damage of the antenna 200.

[0049] In the embodiment, the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 300 are insulators, so that the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 300 do not absorb, reflect or interfere with the wireless signals of the antenna 200, ensuring that the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 300 do not hinder the normal transmission of the wireless signals of the antenna 200, so that the drive-by-wire device 2122 can obtain stable wireless signals through the antenna 200, thereby improving the wireless communication stability of the heat pump equipment 2000. In one example, the first cover body 100 and the second cover body 300 are both made of plastic material; in another example, the first cover body 100 is made of foam material, so that the first cover body 100 can seal and insulate the inner cavity 2110, and the second cover body 300 is a plastic part.

[0050] In order to ensure that the signal transmission of the antenna 200 in the mounting groove 130 is not hindered, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the utility model embodiment, the main body 2100 includes a side plate 2140 and a bottom plate 2150, wherein the lower side of the side plate 2140 is arranged along the circumference of the bottom plate 2150 and connected with the bottom plate 2150, and the upper side of the side plate 2140 is connected with the first cover body 100. As shown in Figure 5 The antenna 200 is a columnar structure, and the antenna 200 is horizontally arranged in the mounting groove 130, and the central axis of the antenna 200 is higher than the top end of the main body 2100 along the height direction of the box assembly, that is, the central axis of the antenna 200 has a height difference H with the top end of the main body 2100, and H>0 is satisfied. It can be understood that in the embodiment, when the antenna 200 is installed in the mounting groove 130, the central axis of the antenna 200 is higher than the top end of the main body 2100, so that the signal transmission path of the antenna 200 is not blocked by the side plate 2140, and the signal transmission of the antenna 200 in the front-rear and left-right directions is prevented from being blocked by the side plate 2140. It should be noted that the top end of the side plate 2140 refers to the highest point of the main body 2100 along the height direction of the box assembly.

[0051] It is understandable that the fact that the central axis of the antenna 200 is higher than the top of the main body 2100 along the height direction of the housing assembly is only a basic condition to ensure that the wireless signal of the antenna 200 can be effectively transmitted. In order to further optimize the transmission effect of the wireless signal, the height of the antenna 200 can be adjusted to a higher position. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0052] In one example, when antenna 200 is installed in mounting slot 130, antenna 200 is in contact with the bottom wall of mounting slot 130. Therefore, the height of the bottom wall of mounting slot 130 is the same as the height of the lowest point of antenna 200. Based on this, along the height direction of the housing assembly, the bottom wall of mounting slot 130 is higher than the top of main body 2100, meaning the lowest point of antenna 200 is also higher than the top of side panel 2140. It is understood that the projection of antenna 200 and the projection of side panel 2140 are misaligned on the horizontal projection plane. Therefore, side panel 2140 will not obstruct the wireless signal transmission of antenna 200, further ensuring the effective transmission of wireless signal from antenna 200.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side panel 2140 includes a front panel 2120, and a wired remote control 2122 is mounted on the front panel 2120. Specifically, in conjunction with... Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is understood that in this embodiment of the present invention, the front panel 2120 is provided with a mounting opening 2121, which penetrates the front panel 2120 to connect to the inner cavity 2110. The size and shape of the mounting opening 2121 are matched with the wired control device 2122. Based on this, the wired control device 2122 can be inserted through the mounting opening 2121, and the wireless communication module of the wired control device 2122 is located inside the wired control device 2122, that is, in the inner cavity 2110. It should be noted that the wired control device 2122 may include a display and an operation panel so that the user can directly observe and operate the heat pump device 2000. The wireless communication module may be a WIFI module, a Bluetooth module, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0054] It is understood that the antenna 200 can be connected to the wired control device 2122 via a wire (not shown in the figure). Therefore, the wire needs to pass through the inner cavity 2110 and extend towards the front panel 2120 to connect with the wireless communication module. However, since many functional components are installed in the inner cavity 2110, in order to facilitate the wiring of the wire, the mounting slot 130 is located near the wired control device 2122 in this embodiment.

[0055] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the embodiment, the mounting groove 130, the air inlet 110 or the air outlet 120 are arranged in sequence from front to back along the front-rear direction of the cabinet assembly, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 130 is provided with a wire passing hole 131 penetrating through the first cover body 100, and the wire passing hole 131 is in communication with the inner cavity 2110. Therefore, the wire connected with the antenna 200 can enter the inner cavity 2110 through the wire passing hole 131 and extend towards the front side, so as to be connected with the wireless communication module, and the wire needs to pass through the air inlet 110 or the air outlet 120 from below is avoided.

[0056] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in an example, the air outlet cavity 2112 is located on the left side of the main body 2100, the fan assembly 2130 is installed in the air outlet cavity 2112, the air duct 2131 extends upwards and is in communication with the air outlet 120. The wire control device 2122 is arranged at the upper left corner of the front panel 2120, that is, on the front side of the fan assembly 2130. In order to avoid the problem that the wire needs to bypass the fan assembly 2130 when wiring from back to front, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 7 It can be understood that, in the embodiment, the mounting groove 130 is arranged on the left front side of the first cover body 100, that is, the mounting groove 130 is located on the opposite front side of the fan assembly 2130, therefore, after the wire passes through the wire passing hole 131, the wire can be directly wired towards the wire control device 2122, so as to ensure that there is no obstacle between the wire passing hole 131 and the wire control device 2122, and the wiring of the wire is facilitated.

[0057] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of the utility model, the second cover body 300 includes a fitting part 310 and two air guide parts 320, wherein the fitting part 310 is provided with two first through holes 311, and the two first through holes 311 are arranged side by side and penetrate through the fitting part 310. The fitting part 310 is matched with the shape of the first cover body 100, and based on this, the fitting part 310 can be fitted on the upper end surface of the first cover body 100. When the fitting part 310 covers the first cover body 100, one of the first through holes 311 is in communication with the air inlet 110, and the other first through hole 311 is in communication with the air outlet 120. The two air guide parts 320 are arranged one by one corresponding to the two first through holes 311, in the embodiment, the air guide part 320 is a ring structure protruding from the upper end surface of the fitting part 310, which is arranged around the first through hole 311, thereby playing a role of air guide.

[0058] Continuing to refer to Figure 3As shown in the utility model embodiment, the top cover assembly 1000 further comprises a support 400, the support 400 is arranged on the lower side of the first cover body 100, that is, the first cover body 100 is located between the support 400 and the second cover body 300. In the embodiment, the bonding portion 310 is provided with a plurality of connecting pieces (not shown in the figure), the plurality of connecting pieces are arranged at intervals, and the connecting pieces pass through the bonding portion 310, the first cover body 100 and the support 400 in sequence, wherein one end of the connecting piece is fixedly connected with the bonding portion 310, and the other end is fixedly connected with the support 400, so that the first cover body 100 is clamped, and the overall structural stability of the box assembly is improved.

[0059] It can be understood that, in order to realize convenient disassembly and assembly of the box assembly, in the utility model embodiment, the support 400 and the main body 2100 are detachably connected. In one example, the support 400 and the top end of the main body 2100 are connected through buckling; in another example, the support 400 and the top end of the main body 2100 are connected through fasteners.
