Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrical technology, specifically relating to an electronic control component and a refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of refrigeration technology, refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators and freezers have become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. These devices achieve precise temperature control within a space through complex internal systems to meet various needs such as food preservation, pharmaceutical storage, and industrial cooling.

[0003] To control the operation of refrigeration equipment, openings are made in the equipment's casing to install electrical control components. However, in existing technology, the openings are relatively large to accommodate these components, affecting the aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an electronic control component and a refrigeration device, aiming to at least partially solve the technical problem that a large opening area is required to accommodate the electronic control component within the housing, thus affecting aesthetics.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An electronic control component, characterized in that it includes an electronic control box and a control circuit board disposed within the electronic control box, and further includes at least one of an operation part, a display part, and an indicator light connected to the control circuit board; the electronic control box includes a panel, the panel having at least one of a mounting hole, a display hole, and a light-emitting hole, the mounting hole corresponding to the operation part, the display hole corresponding to the display part, and the light-emitting hole corresponding to the indicator light; wherein, along the direction from the panel toward the body of the electronic control box, the projection of the panel at least partially falls on a portion of the body and / or the projection area of ​​the panel is smaller than the projection area of ​​the body.

[0007] In some implementations, the control box has a first clearance notch on its exterior, the first clearance notch being located on the same side of the control box as the panel; wherein, along the direction from the panel toward the body, the first clearance notch is offset from the panel.

[0008] In some implementations, the electrical control box has a second clearance notch, which is located on opposite sides of the electrical control box, as are the first clearance notch.

[0009] In some implementations, the second clearance gap includes a first sub-gap and a second sub-gap, which are located at opposite ends of the electrical control box, and the first sub-gap and the first clearance gap are located at the same end of the electrical control box.

[0010] In some implementations, the electrical control box includes a box body and a box cover, the box cover being detachably connected to the box body, and the panel being disposed on the box body or the box cover.

[0011] In some embodiments, the housing includes: a first mounting portion opposite to the panel; and a second mounting portion connected to the first mounting portion and extending along one side of the panel in a direction away from the panel, the second mounting portion being spaced apart from the panel.

[0012] In some implementations, the panel is located on the bottom wall of the box, and the box lid is located at the opening of the box.

[0013] In some implementations, the control circuit board includes a main control circuit and a frequency adjustment circuit. The main control circuit is connected to the operation unit and the indicator light. The main control circuit and the frequency adjustment circuit are located in the housing.

[0014] In some embodiments, the panel is disposed on the lid, and the lid is provided with an extension that extends away from the panel along one side of the panel and is spaced apart from the panel.

[0015] In some implementations, the control circuit board includes a main control circuit, a display circuit, and a frequency adjustment circuit. The display circuit is located on the cover and is connected to the operation unit, the display unit, and the indicator light. The main control circuit and the frequency adjustment circuit are located on the housing.

[0016] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a refrigeration device, including a housing and the aforementioned electronic control component. The housing has a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity. The electronic control box of the electronic control component passes through the opening and is installed in the receiving cavity. The opening and the panel are located on the same side of the housing. In the direction from the opening to the receiving cavity, the projection of the panel on the housing at least partially overlaps with the projection of the opening on the housing.

[0017] In some embodiments, the electrical control box is provided with a latch that abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity; and / or, the electrical control box is provided with a limiting member that abuts against the inner wall of the opening; wherein the limiting member is angled to the latch.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model include at least the following:

[0019] The electrical control box and the control circuit board housed inside the electrical control box are designed to house the control circuit board, preventing it from being exposed and ensuring its safety while also maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0020] Since the electronic control assembly also includes at least one of an operating unit, a display unit, and an indicator light connected to the control circuit board, the operating unit can control the control circuit board to send control signals, the display unit can display the operating parameters of the refrigeration equipment, and the indicator light can display the operating status of the refrigeration equipment.

[0021] Since the control box includes a panel, the panel has at least one of a mounting hole, a display hole, and a light-emitting hole. The mounting hole corresponds to the operation unit 30, the display hole corresponds to the display unit, and the light-emitting hole corresponds to the indicator light. Therefore, the operation unit can be connected to the control circuit board through the mounting hole for user operation. The display hole can directly display the data of the display screen on the panel, and the light-emitting hole can directly let the light of the indicator light out of the control box for user observation.

[0022] When installing the control box into the refrigeration equipment's enclosure, the control box is inserted into the enclosure's receiving cavity through the opening on the enclosure and then assembled within the cavity. At this point, the panel can close the opening. Because the projection of the panel onto the control box falls at least partially on a portion of the body and / or the panel's projected area is smaller than the body's projected area, with the opening closed, the opening area matches the panel's area. Furthermore, the body can be inserted into the receiving cavity at an angle through the opening, ensuring easy installation. This means the opening area does not need to be greater than or equal to the body's area; it can be smaller, as long as the panel can close the opening. Simultaneously, sufficient space is provided for the body to accommodate the control circuit board. Understandably, by ensuring the control box can be installed smoothly into the receiving cavity, the opening can be made smaller and more concealed, improving the overall aesthetics of the refrigeration equipment enclosure and making it appear cleaner and more upscale.

[0047] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0048] The electronic control component and refrigeration equipment provided in this embodiment aim to solve, to some extent, the technical problem that the large opening area affects the aesthetics in order to assemble the electronic control component into the housing.

[0049] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The electronic control component of this application includes an electronic control box 10 and a control circuit board 20. The control circuit board 20 is disposed within the electronic control box 10 and also includes at least one of an operation unit 30, a display unit, and an indicator light 40 connected to the control circuit board 20. The electronic control box 10 includes a panel 13, which has at least one of a mounting hole 131, a display hole 133, and a light-emitting hole 134. The mounting hole 131 corresponds to the operation unit 30, the display hole 133 corresponds to the display unit, and the light-emitting hole 134 corresponds to the indicator light 40. Along the direction from the panel 13 toward the body of the electronic control box 10, the projection of the panel 13 at least partially falls on a portion of the body and / or the projected area of ​​the panel 13 is smaller than the projected area of ​​the body.

[0050] The display section can be a display screen.

[0051] The control box 10 and the control circuit board 20 located inside the control box 10 are housed in the control box 10 to prevent the control circuit board 20 from being exposed, thus ensuring the safety of the control circuit board 20 and also ensuring its aesthetics.

[0052] Since the electronic control assembly also includes at least one of the following: an operation unit 30, a display unit, and an indicator light 40 connected to the control circuit board 20, the operation unit 30 can control the control circuit board 20 to send control signals, the display unit can display the operating parameters of the refrigeration equipment, and the indicator light 40 can display the operating status of the refrigeration equipment.

[0053] Since the control box 10 includes a panel 13, which has at least one of a mounting hole 131, a display hole 133, and a light-emitting hole 134, the mounting hole 131 corresponds to the operation unit 30, the display hole 133 corresponds to the display unit, and the light-emitting hole 134 corresponds to the indicator light 40, the operation unit 30 can be connected to the control circuit board 20 through the mounting hole 131 for user operation. The display hole 133 can directly display the data of the display screen on the panel 13, and the light-emitting hole 134 can directly let the light of the indicator light 40 out of the control box 10 for user observation.

[0054] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11When the control box 10 is to be installed inside the housing 50 of the refrigeration equipment, the control box 10 is inserted into the receiving cavity 51 of the housing 50 through the opening 52 on the housing 50, and then assembled into the receiving cavity 51. At this time, the panel 13 can close the opening 52. Since the projection of the panel 13 towards the body of the control box 10 falls at least partially on a part of the body and / or the projected area of ​​the panel 13 is smaller than the projected area of ​​the body, under the condition that the opening 52 is closed by the panel 13, the area of ​​the opening 52 matches the area of ​​the panel 13. Moreover, the body can be inserted into the receiving cavity 51 at an angle through the opening 52, so that the body can still enter the receiving cavity 51 smoothly, ensuring the convenience of installation. That is, it is not necessary to make the area of ​​the opening 52 greater than or equal to the area of ​​the body. In other words, the area of ​​the opening 52 can be smaller than the area of ​​the body, as long as the panel 13 can close the opening 52. At the same time, the body can have enough space to accommodate the control circuit board 20. Understandably, while ensuring that the electrical control box 10 can be smoothly installed into the receiving cavity 51, the opening 52 can be made smaller and more concealed, which improves the overall appearance of the refrigeration equipment's cabinet 50 and makes the cabinet 50 look cleaner and more high-end.

[0055] Although the opening 52 has a small area, the tilted insertion method allows the main body to enter the receiving cavity 51 smoothly, which ensures both the convenience of installation and the aesthetics and space utilization.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the control box 10 can be installed inside the housing 50 at the opening 52, which also allows the panel 13 to close the opening 52.

[0057] Combining 1, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the control box 10 on the housing 50, the control box 10 has a first clearance notch 14 on its exterior, and the first clearance notch 14 and the panel 13 are located on the same side of the control box 10. Specifically, along the direction from the panel 13 toward the body, the first clearance notch 14 is offset from the panel 13.

[0058] The presence of the first clearance notch 14 provides additional space for the installation of the electrical control box 10. When the electrical control box 10 is placed into the housing 50, it can be directly inserted diagonally into the opening 52, avoiding the edge of the opening 52 or other obstructions from the surrounding structure of the housing 50 through the first clearance notch 14, making the installation process smoother and reducing installation difficulties caused by size mismatch or insufficient space.

[0059] Combining 1, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments, to further facilitate the installation of the control box 10 on the housing 50, the control box 10 has a second clearance notch 15 on its exterior, and the second clearance notch 15 and the first clearance notch 14 are located on opposite sides of the control box 10.

[0060] The presence of the second clearance notch 15 provides additional space for the installation of the electrical control box 10. When the electrical control box 10 is placed into the housing 50, it can be directly inserted diagonally into the opening 52, avoiding the edge of the opening 52 or other obstructions from the surrounding structure of the housing 50 through the second clearance notch 15, making the installation process smoother and reducing installation difficulties caused by size mismatch or insufficient space.

[0061] Combining 1, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, to further facilitate the installation of the electrical control box 10 on the housing 50, the second clearance notch 15 includes a first sub-notch 151 and a second sub-notch 152. The first sub-notch 151 and the second sub-notch 152 are located at opposite ends of the electrical control box 10, and the first sub-notch 151 and the first clearance notch 14 are located at the same end of the electrical control box 10.

[0062] The first edge of the opening 52 is set opposite to the second edge of the opening 52. When the electrical control box 10 is placed into the housing 50, the electrical control box 10 can be directly inserted into the opening 52 at an angle. The first clearance notch 15 and the first sub-notch 151 avoid the first edge of the opening 52, and the second sub-notch 152 can avoid the second edge of the opening 52, making the installation process smoother and reducing installation difficulties caused by size mismatch or insufficient space.

[0063] In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the control circuit board 20, the electrical control box 10 includes a box body 11 and a cover 12. The cover 12 is detachably connected to the box body 11. When the control circuit board 20 needs to be installed, the cover 12 is removed from the box body 11, and the control circuit board 20 can be installed inside the box body 11, improving installation efficiency. Then, the cover 12 is connected to the box body 11, and the cover 12 closes the box body 11 to prevent the control circuit board 20 from being exposed, thus ensuring the safety of the control circuit board 20. The box body 11 and the cover 12 together constitute the main body of the electrical control box 10.

[0064] Panel 13 is provided on box body 11 or box cover 12. That is, panel 13 can be the bottom wall of box body 11 or the bottom wall of box cover 12, and panel 13 can be a part of box body 11 or box cover 12.

[0065] In some embodiments, when panel 13 is part of box body 11, panel 13 and box cover 12 are located on opposite sides of the body of box body 11. Of course, in other embodiments, when panel 13 is part of box cover 12, panel 13 and box body 11 are located on opposite sides of the body of box cover 12.

[0066] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the electrical control box 10 into the housing 50, the housing 11 includes a first mounting portion 111 and a second mounting portion 112. The first mounting portion 111 is opposite to the panel 13. The second mounting portion 112 is connected to the first mounting portion 111 and extends away from the panel 13 along one side of the panel 13. The second mounting portion 112 is spaced apart from the panel 13, so that a first clearance notch 14 is formed on the outer side of the electrical control box 10, providing additional space for the installation of the electrical control box 10. When the electrical control box 10 is placed into the housing 50, it can be directly inserted obliquely into the opening 52, avoiding the edge of the opening 52 or other obstructions from the surrounding structures of the housing 50 through the first clearance notch 14, making the installation process smoother and reducing installation difficulties caused by size mismatch or insufficient space.

[0067] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the lid 12 and the box body 11, the panel 13 is disposed on the bottom wall of the box body 11, the lid 12 is disposed at the opening of the box body 11, and the panel 13 and the opening of the box body 11 are respectively located on opposite sides of the box body 11.

[0068] When the electrical control box 10 is installed inside the housing 50, the panel 13 must be located at the opening 52 for easy observation and operation. Since the openings of the panel 13 and the housing 11 are located on opposite sides of the housing 11, the cover 12 must be located inside the receiving cavity 51. The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 51 blocks the connection between the cover 12 and the housing 11, preventing external debris from colliding and causing the cover 12 to become loose from the housing 11, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the cover 12 and the housing 11.

[0069] In some embodiments, in order to protect the control circuit board 20, the control circuit board 20 includes a main control circuit and a frequency adjustment circuit. The main control circuit is connected to the operation unit and the indicator light. The main control circuit and the frequency adjustment circuit are housed in the housing 11. The housing 11 houses the main control circuit and the frequency adjustment circuit, preventing them from being exposed to the outside, thus ensuring the safety of the main control circuit and the frequency adjustment circuit, while also ensuring aesthetics.

[0070] Because the control circuit board 20 integrates the main control circuit and the frequency adjustment circuit, it combines the control function and the frequency adjustment function into one unit, thus reducing the number of independent parts. The integrated design eliminates the intermediate connectors (such as wire harnesses, connectors, etc.) that were originally used to connect the various components, reducing assembly difficulty, reducing the types and number of parts, reducing costs, and also reducing connection steps and the number of interfaces, simplifying the assembly process, improving production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle. Moreover, it can reduce assembly errors caused by improper connection between multiple components, allowing the control circuit board 20 to be installed as a whole, reducing the cumulative errors caused by assembling parts one by one, and improving the overall assembly accuracy. At the same time, the integrated design makes the control circuit board 20 more compact in spatial layout, reducing the space occupied by multiple components scattered.

[0071] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, in order to achieve temperature regulation of the refrigeration equipment, the control circuit board 20 is provided with a temperature adjustment trigger unit, and the operation unit 30 is used to trigger the temperature adjustment trigger unit. The user can directly operate the operation unit 30 so that the operation unit 30 can drive the temperature adjustment trigger unit to move, thereby achieving temperature adjustment.

[0072] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, a mounting hole 131 is provided on the panel 13 to achieve temperature regulation of the refrigeration equipment. An operating unit 30 passes through the mounting hole 131 and is connected to a temperature adjustment trigger unit. When the temperature of the refrigeration equipment needs to be adjusted, the operating unit 30 is operated. The operating unit 30 moves within the mounting hole 131, triggering the main control circuit via the temperature adjustment trigger unit. This causes the frequency adjustment circuit to send a frequency adjustment signal. It can be understood that the operating unit 30 drives the temperature adjustment trigger unit to input an adjustment signal to the main control circuit. The main control circuit sends a control signal to the frequency adjustment circuit based on the adjustment signal. The frequency adjustment circuit is electrically connected to the compressor, and it sends a frequency adjustment signal to the compressor of the refrigeration equipment based on the control signal to control the compressor's operation.

[0073] The light from indicator light 40 is exposed to the electrical control box 10 through light outlet 134 to display the operating status of the refrigeration equipment.

[0074] In some embodiments, in order to control the compressor of the refrigeration equipment, the frequency adjustment circuit includes at least one of a variable frequency adjustment circuit and a fixed frequency adjustment circuit.

[0075] When the frequency adjustment circuit is a variable frequency adjustment circuit, the variable frequency adjustment circuit can dynamically change the frequency of the signal as needed. By adjusting the power supply frequency of the compressor, more precise control and higher operating efficiency can be achieved.

[0076] When the frequency adjustment circuit is a fixed frequency adjustment circuit, the fixed frequency adjustment circuit can keep the frequency of the signal stable and the working state is relatively fixed. Therefore, its reliability is usually high, ensuring the stability and reliability of the compressor during long-term operation.

[0077] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the electrical control box 10 on the housing 50, a panel 13 is provided on the cover 12. The cover 12 is provided with an extension 121, which extends away from the panel 13 along one side and is spaced apart from the panel 13, so that a first clearance notch 14 is formed on the outer side of the electrical control box 10, providing additional space for the installation of the electrical control box 10. When the electrical control box 10 is placed into the housing 50, it can be directly inserted obliquely into the opening 52, avoiding the edge of the opening 52 or other obstructions from the surrounding structure of the housing 50 through the first clearance notch 14, making the installation process smoother and reducing installation difficulties caused by size mismatch or insufficient space.

[0078] Since the panel 13 is located at the opening 52, the cover 12 is also located at the opening 52. When it is necessary to inspect the components inside the electrical control box 10, the cover 12 can be directly removed from the box body 11 to inspect the components inside the electrical control box 10. It is not necessary to remove the entire electrical control box 10 from the box body 50, which improves the inspection efficiency.

[0079] In some embodiments, since the cover 12 is usually the part of the control box 10 that is relatively easy to open and access, and the panel 13 serves as the interface for the user to interact with the control box 10, the control circuit board 20 includes a main control circuit, a display circuit and a frequency adjustment circuit. The display circuit is located on the cover 12 and is connected to the operation unit 30, the display unit and the indicator light 40, so as to facilitate user operation and observation.

[0080] The main control circuit and frequency adjustment circuit are located in the housing 11, which effectively protects the main control circuit and frequency adjustment circuit and reduces the risk of failure caused by the external environment.

[0081] Combination Figure 5 In some embodiments, the control circuit board 20 consists of a first part and a second part electrically connected to the first part. The main control circuit and the frequency adjustment circuit are integrated in the first part, which is located inside the housing 11. The display circuit is integrated in the second part, which is located inside the housing cover 12.

[0082] The first part integrates the main control circuit and the frequency adjustment circuit. In other words, the first part combines the control function and the frequency adjustment function into one unit, realizing the merging of functional units, thereby reducing the number of independent parts. The integrated design eliminates the intermediate connectors (such as wire harnesses, connectors, etc.) originally used to connect various components, reducing assembly difficulty, reducing the types and number of parts, reducing costs, and also reducing connection steps and the number of interfaces, simplifying the assembly process, improving production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle. Moreover, it can reduce assembly errors caused by improper connection between multiple parts, allowing the first part to be installed as a whole, reducing the cumulative errors caused by assembling parts one by one, and improving the overall assembly accuracy. At the same time, the integrated design makes the first part more compact in terms of spatial layout, reducing the space occupied by multiple parts scattered.

[0083] Combination Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first part is provided with a temperature adjustment trigger, and the panel 13 has a mounting part 132. An operation part 30 is located on the mounting part 132 and is positioned opposite the temperature adjustment trigger. When the temperature of the refrigeration equipment needs to be adjusted, the operation part 30 is operated. The operation part 30 can drive the temperature adjustment trigger to actuate via the mounting part 132, thereby triggering the main control circuit. This causes the frequency adjustment circuit to send a frequency adjustment signal. It can be understood that the operation part 30 drives the temperature adjustment trigger to actuate via the mounting part 132 to input an adjustment signal to the main control circuit. The main control circuit sends a control signal to the frequency adjustment circuit based on the adjustment signal. The frequency adjustment circuit is electrically connected to the compressor, and it sends a frequency adjustment signal to the compressor of the refrigeration equipment based on the control signal to control the operation of the compressor.

[0084] To facilitate the arrangement of the first and second parts within the control box 10, they are set at an angle. This effectively avoids direct overlap between the two parts in the horizontal or vertical direction, thereby maximizing the use of the three-dimensional space within the control box 10. This allows the entire control assembly to maintain functional integrity while achieving more compact and efficient space utilization, contributing to the miniaturization and lightweight design of the product. Furthermore, since the first and second parts generate heat during operation, setting the display circuit, main control circuit, and frequency adjustment circuit at an angle increases airflow paths, which is beneficial for heat dissipation and improves heat dissipation efficiency. This ensures stable operation of the control assembly, extends its service life, and reduces malfunctions caused by overheating.

[0085] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first part and the second part can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. When the first part and the second part are perpendicular, the perpendicular relationship between the first part and the second part is not absolutely perpendicular in a geometric sense, and the angular relationship between the first part and the second part can be in the range of 90±3°.

[0086] In some embodiments, in order to display the operating status of the refrigeration equipment, the panel 13 has a light-emitting hole 134 so that the light of the indicator light 40 is exposed to the housing 11.

[0087] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also proposes a refrigeration device that uses the aforementioned electronic control component. The specific structure of the electronic control component is as described in the above embodiments. Since the electronic control component 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 elaborated here.

[0088] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the refrigeration device includes a housing 50, which has a receiving cavity 51 and an opening 52 communicating with the receiving cavity 51. The control box of the electrical control component is installed in the receiving cavity 51 through the opening 52. The opening 52 and the panel 13 are located on the same side of the housing 50.

[0089] The electrical control box 10 can be tilted into the receiving cavity 51 through the opening 52, so that the electrical control box 10 can be smoothly inserted into the receiving cavity 51, ensuring the convenience of installation and realizing the installation of the electrical control box 10. The opening 52 is closed by the panel 13 to prevent external debris from entering the box 50 and to ensure the normal operation of the equipment inside the box 50.

[0090] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the panel 13 can completely close the opening 52, the projection of the panel 13 on the housing 50 along the direction of the opening 52 toward the receiving cavity 51 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the opening 52 on the housing 50, further preventing external debris from entering the housing 50 and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment inside the housing 50.

[0091] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the installation of the electrical control box 10, the box body 11 is provided with a buckle 16. The buckle 16 abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 51. The abutment between the buckle 16 and the cavity wall provides an additional fixing point for the electrical control box 10, thereby significantly enhancing its installation firmness in the receiving cavity 51 and reducing the risk of the electrical control box falling off or loosening due to external factors such as vibration and impact.

[0092] The clips 16 are typically designed with an easy-to-operate structure, such as elastic clips, which makes the installation process of the electrical control box 10 simpler and faster, without the need for additional fixing tools or materials, thus reducing installation costs and time.

[0093] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the housing 50 has a recessed groove 53 communicating with the opening 52. The recessed groove 53 is located outside the receiving cavity 51. When the electrical control box 10 is installed in the housing 50, the extended edge 135 of the panel 13 is embedded in the recessed groove 53. When the second buckle 16 abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 51 and the extended edge 135 of the panel 13 abuts against the bottom of the recessed groove 53, the electrical control box 10 is limited along the installation direction of the electrical control box 10, thus ensuring the stability of the installation of the electrical control box 10.

[0094] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the electrical control box 10 during installation, the box body 11 is provided with a limiting member 17. The limiting member 17 abuts against the inner wall of the opening 52. The abutment between the limiting member 17 and the inner wall of the opening 52 provides a precise positioning point for the electrical control box 10, ensuring the accurate position of the electrical control box 10 after installation. At the same time, this abutment also plays a fixing role, preventing the electrical control box from shifting or shaking within the receiving cavity 51, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0095] In some embodiments, the limiting member 17 and the buckle 16 are set at an angle. Through the cooperation of the limiting member 17 and the buckle 16, the control box 10 can be limited from two different directions. Therefore, it can more effectively prevent the control box 10 from shifting or shaking during installation or use, and improve the stability and reliability of the control box 10.

[0096] In some embodiments, the included angle between the limiting member 17 and the buckle 16 can be set from 45° to 135°. In this embodiment, the included angle between the limiting member 17 and the buckle 16 is 90°, that is, the limiting member 17 and the buckle 16 are set perpendicularly, which is only used as an example and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0097] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation of the control box 10 into the receiving cavity 51, the end of the limiting member 17 facing away from the control box 10 has a slope. After the box body 10 is inserted into the receiving cavity 51 at an angle through the opening 52, it is necessary to push the control box 10 into the receiving cavity 51 so that the control box 10 is fully inserted into the receiving cavity 51. At this time, the slope can be transitioned so that the control box 10 is fully inserted into the receiving cavity 51.
