Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a sealing structure for an emergency button on a power supply box and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] Power supply units for electrical equipment such as air conditioners typically require a power box and a cover, which are usually connected and secured with screws. To prevent sudden power box malfunctions, a common feature is an emergency stop button, allowing users to shut down the power supply by pressing it. The power box has a direct-access button hole, through which the emergency stop button is inserted for easy operation. However, this open design allows external air to enter the power box through the gap between the emergency stop button and the button hole, resulting in poor sealing. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a power box emergency button sealing structure and an air conditioner. According to the embodiments of this utility model, the power box emergency button sealing structure and air conditioner can effectively improve the sealing performance of the button through hole by sealing the elastic sealing cylinder with the button through hole, thereby improving the sealing effect of the power box.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this utility model provides a sealing structure for an emergency button on a power supply box. A through-hole for the button is provided on the side wall of the power supply box. The emergency button is located inside the power supply box and on one side of the through-hole. The sealing structure is an elastic sealing cylinder, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the through-hole. An annular groove is provided on the outer wall of the elastic sealing cylinder.

[0006] In one embodiment, the thickness of the elastic contact portion is t, where 0.3mm ≤ t ≤ 0.8mm. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention, by designing the elastic contact portion to be thin, specifically limiting its thickness to 0.3 to 0.8mm, ensures the elastic deformation of the elastic contact portion, thereby ensuring that the elastic contact portion can undergo elastic deformation and trigger the emergency button when pressed.
[0007] In one embodiment, the wall thickness of the elastic contact portion is 0.5 mm.
[0008] In one embodiment, the key through hole is elliptical in shape, and the elastic sealing cylinder is an elliptical cylindrical structure.
[0009] In one embodiment, the key through hole is circular in shape, and the elastic sealing cylinder is a cylindrical structure.
[0010] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the elastic sealing cylinder decreases sequentially from its open end to its closed end. In another embodiment, the elastic sealing cylinder is made of rubber, and the elastic contact portion is integrally formed onto the elastic sealing cylinder.
[0011] In one embodiment, the power supply box includes a power supply box body and a power supply box cover, the power supply box body and the power supply box cover are detachably and sealed together, and the button through hole is formed on the power supply box cover.
[0012] In one embodiment, a first stud with an opening at the top is provided on the outer side of the power supply box, and a second stud that is coaxially engaged with the first stud is provided on the power supply box cover. The second stud has a structure with openings at both ends, and the second stud is detachably fixed to the first stud by a screw.
[0013] A second aspect of this utility model provides an air conditioner including the emergency button sealing structure for the power box described in any of the above embodiments. According to this utility model, the air conditioner, through the sealing connection between the elastic sealing cylinder and the button through-hole, can effectively improve the sealing performance at the button through-hole, thereby improving the sealing effect of the power box.

[0024] In related technologies, power supply units for electrical equipment such as air conditioners generally require a power supply box and a power supply box cover, which are typically connected and secured using screws. To prevent sudden power supply box malfunctions, a common power supply box includes an emergency stop button, allowing users to stop the power supply by pressing it. The power supply box has a direct button opening, through which the emergency stop button is inserted for easy pressing. However, this open structure allows external air to easily enter the power supply box through the gap between the emergency stop button and the button opening, resulting in poor sealing.
[0025] In view of this, the present utility model provides a sealing structure for the emergency button 11 of the power box and an air conditioner. According to the sealing structure for the emergency button 11 of the power box and the air conditioner of the present utility model, the sealing performance at the button through hole 21 can be effectively improved by the sealing connection between the elastic sealing cylinder 30 and the button through hole 21, thereby improving the sealing effect of the power box.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The first aspect of this utility model provides a sealing structure for an emergency button 11 in a power supply box.

An annular groove 31 is provided on the outer side wall of the elastic sealing cylinder 30. The elastic sealing cylinder 30 is a hollow structure with one open end. The closed end of the elastic sealing cylinder 30 is an elastic contact portion 32. The annular groove 31 is press-fitted with the wall of the button through-hole 21. The elastic contact portion 32 is located inside the power supply box, and the end face of the elastic contact portion 32 away from the opening of the elastic sealing cylinder 30 abuts against the emergency button 11.
[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the elastic sealing cylinder 30 is made of rubber, and the elastic contact portion 32 is integrally formed on the elastic sealing cylinder 30.

[0028] Therefore, according to the sealing structure of the emergency button 11 in the power box according to this utility model embodiment, by providing a button through hole 21 on the power box, and by using the annular groove 31 of the elastic sealing cylinder 30 to make an interference fit with the hole wall of the button through hole 21, the elastic sealing cylinder 30 can completely seal the button through hole 21, effectively preventing external gas from entering the power box from the button through hole 21, thus improving the sealing effect of the power box; at the same time, by utilizing the characteristic that the elastic sealing cylinder 30 is open at one end and has an elastic contact part 32 at the other end, and by using the connection method of the elastic contact part 32 abutting against the emergency button 11, the user can trigger the emergency button 11 by pressing the elastic contact part 32. In other words, this utility model embodiment, while ensuring that the emergency button 11 can be pressed normally, utilizes the interference fit between the elastic sealing cylinder 30 and the button through hole 21 to effectively improve the sealing performance at the button through hole 21, thereby improving the sealing effect of the power box.
[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the elastic contact portion 32 is t, where 0.3mm ≤ t ≤ 0.8mm. Therefore, by designing the thickness of the elastic contact portion 32 to be thin, specifically limiting its thickness to 0.3 to 0.8mm, this embodiment of the invention ensures the elastic deformation of the elastic contact portion 32, thereby ensuring that the elastic contact portion 32 can undergo elastic deformation and trigger the emergency button when pressed. For example, in this embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the elastic contact portion 32 is 0.5mm.
[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the utility model, the power supply box includes a power supply box body 10 and a power supply box cover 20.
