[0034] The protective support 30 is connected to the heater 10, and a protective space 31 is defined between the protective support 30 and the heater 10. The high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 are both located in the protective space 31. By connecting the protective support 30 to the heater 10, it can be avoided that the protective support 30 and the heater 10 slide relative to each other, which can cause the protective support 30 to lose its protective effect on the heater 10 or the heater wire harness 20. In addition, it can also be avoided that the protective support 30 bumps into the heater wire harness 20, which can cause the heater wire harness 20 to be damaged and short-circuited after being hit, thereby causing a fire hazard. For example, the protective support 30 is connected to the heater 10, and the protective support 30 is fixedly connected to the vehicle 100, so that the heater 10 is fixedly connected to the vehicle 100, and the heater 10 is prevented from moving during the driving of the vehicle 100, thereby avoiding the risk of danger.
[0035] By defining the protective space 31 between the protective support 30 and the heater 10, and locating the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 in the protective space 31, when the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 are hit, the protective support 30 is hit first and protects the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21, thereby avoiding the risk of fire caused by the damage and short-circuit of the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 after being hit, and improving the safety performance of the vehicle 100.
[0036] According to the heater assembly 101 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the protection space 31 is defined between the protection support 30 and the heater 10, and the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 are both located in the protection space 31, so that when the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 are impacted, the protection support 30 is impacted preferentially and plays a protection role on the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21, the risk of fire caused by the short circuit of the wire harness due to the impact on the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 is avoided, the safety performance of the vehicle 100 is improved, and the protection support 30 can also isolate the thermal damage of the overheated front engine compartment on the heater wire harness 20 and the control panel in the heater 10.

By making the protection support 30 include the support plate 32, the support plate 32 is located at the bottom surface of the heater 10 for supporting the heater 10, the protection support 30 can be prevented from falling off the heater 10, so that the protection effect of the protection support 30 on the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 is invalidated. By making the protection plate 33, the support plate 32 and the heater 10 jointly define the protection space 31, the protection space 31 can be used to accommodate the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21, the protection plate 33 is prevented from interfering with the connection of the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21, and the protection plate 33 can also play a protection role on the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 accommodated in the protection space 31, the risk of fire caused by the short circuit of the wire harness due to the impact on the high-voltage socket 11 and the high-voltage plug 21 is avoided, and the safety performance of the vehicle 100 is improved.
