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, electrical control components are installed on the equipment's casing. However, in existing technology, external water can easily enter the electrical control box of the components, causing damage to the internal parts. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an electronic control component and a refrigeration device, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problem that external water can easily enter the electronic control box of the electronic control component, causing damage to the internal components of the electronic control box.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An electronic control component, characterized in that it comprises: a panel; a control circuit board disposed on the panel and having a temperature adjustment trigger part; an operating element including a rotating part and a connecting part, the rotating part being located outside the panel, one end of the connecting part being connected to the rotating part, and the other end passing through the panel and connected to the temperature adjustment trigger part; wherein, a receiving groove is formed on the panel, the rotating part is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove, a water guiding element is provided in the receiving groove, and a notch is formed at the bottom of the water guiding element.
[0007] In some implementations, the water guide is provided with a water baffle, which is spaced apart from the water guide.
[0008] In some embodiments, the electronic control component further includes a first limiting member disposed within the receiving groove, and the operating member further includes a first limiting portion connected to the end of the rotating part facing the panel, wherein the first limiting portion may abut against the first limiting member on the rotation path of the operating member.
[0009] In some implementations, the connecting portion has a slot, and the temperature adjustment trigger portion is inserted into the slot.
[0010] In some embodiments, the panel is provided with a second limiting member, and the operating member further includes a locking part connected to the connecting part, the locking part being able to abut against the second limiting member, the second limiting member being located between the rotating part and the locking part.
[0011] In some implementations, the control circuit board integrates a main control circuit and a frequency adjustment circuit, and the main control circuit is electrically connected to the temperature adjustment trigger unit.
[0012] In some embodiments, the operating element further includes a second limiting portion connected to the rotating portion and located outside the panel, the second limiting portion being located between the edge of the opening of the receiving groove and the water guide.
[0013] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a refrigeration device, including a housing and the aforementioned electrical control component. The electrical control component further includes an electrical control box, which is provided with the panel. The housing has a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity. The electrical control box of the electrical control component passes through the opening and is installed in the receiving cavity. The opening and the operating element are located on the same side of the housing.
[0014] In some implementations, the electrical control box is provided with a latch that abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity.
[0015] In some implementations, the electrical control box is provided with a third limiting member that abuts against the inner wall of the opening; wherein the third limiting member is angled to the buckle.
[0016] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a coffee machine, including the aforementioned powder dispensing device.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model include at least the following:
[0018] Because the control circuit board is located on the panel and has a temperature adjustment trigger, the operating components include a rotating part and a connecting part. The rotating part is located outside the panel, and one end of the connecting part is connected to the rotating part, while the other end passes through the panel and connects to the temperature adjustment trigger. Therefore, when the temperature needs to be adjusted, the user can directly operate the rotating part outside the panel so that the connecting part can drive the temperature adjustment trigger to move. In other words, the user can directly operate the temperature adjustment trigger through the rotating part and the connecting part without opening the panel, thereby adjusting the temperature. This simplifies the operation steps, improves the user experience, and reduces the risk of the user directly contacting electrical components, thus improving safety.
[0019] Because the panel has a receiving groove, and the rotating part is rotatably mounted in the receiving groove, a water guide is provided in the receiving groove. The bottom of the water guide has a notch. Therefore, when external water enters the receiving groove through the gap between the rotating part and the groove wall, under the action of gravity, the water will flow sequentially to the water guide, the notch and the receiving groove, and then flow out through the gap between the rotating part and the bottom wall of the receiving groove. This can prevent water from accumulating in the water guide and prevent water from seeping into the control circuit board 20. It can protect the control circuit board from damage such as moisture and corrosion, improve the waterproof performance and durability of the panel, achieve seal-free operation, eliminate the need for rubber parts and other seals, improve the user's feel when operating the rotating part, and eliminate the need to install seals, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing the difficulty of operation and error rate.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0046] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0047] The electronic control component and refrigeration equipment provided in this embodiment aim to solve, at least to some extent, the technical problem that external water can easily enter the electronic control box of the electronic control component, causing damage to the internal components of the electronic control box.
[0048] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The electronic control component of this application embodiment includes: a panel 19, a control circuit board 20, and an operating member 30. The control circuit board 20 is disposed on the panel 19 and has a temperature adjustment trigger part. The operating member 30 includes a rotating part 31 and a connecting part 32. The rotating part 31 is located outside the panel 19, and one end of the connecting part 32 is connected to the rotating part 31, while the other end passes through the panel 19 and is connected to the temperature adjustment trigger part. The panel 19 has a receiving groove 11, and the rotating part 31 is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 11. A water guide 12 is disposed within the receiving groove 11, and a notch 121 is provided at the bottom of the water guide 12.
[0049] The receiving tank 11, the rotating part 31 and the water guiding part 12 are all annular.
[0050] The operating element 30 can be a knob.
[0051] The control circuit board 20 and the receiving groove 11 are located on opposite sides of the panel 19.
[0052] Since the control circuit board 20 is located on the panel 19 and has a temperature adjustment trigger, the operating member 30 includes a rotating part 31 and a connecting part 32. The rotating part 31 is located outside the panel 19, and one end of the connecting part 32 is connected to the rotating part 31, while the other end passes through the panel 19 and connects to the temperature adjustment trigger. Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the temperature, the user can directly operate the rotating part 31 outside the panel 19 so that the connecting part 32 can drive the temperature adjustment trigger to move. In other words, the user can directly operate the temperature adjustment trigger through the rotating part 31 and the connecting part 32 without opening the panel 19, thereby realizing the temperature adjustment. This simplifies the operation steps, improves the user experience, and reduces the risk of the user directly contacting electrical components, thus improving safety.
[0053] Because the panel 19 has a receiving groove 11, and the rotating part 31 is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 11, and the receiving groove 11 is provided with a water guide 12, and the bottom of the water guide 12 has a notch 121, when external water enters the receiving groove 11 through the gap between the rotating part 31 and the groove wall of the receiving groove 11, under the action of gravity, the water will flow sequentially to the water guide 12, the notch 121 and the receiving groove 11, and then flow out through the gap between the rotating part 31 and the bottom of the groove wall of the receiving groove 11. This can prevent water from accumulating in the water guide 12, prevent water from seeping into the control circuit board 20, protect the control circuit board 20 from moisture, corrosion and other damage, improve the waterproof performance and durability of the panel 19, achieve seal-free operation, eliminate the need for rubber parts and other seals, improve the user's feel when operating the rotating part 31, eliminate the need for assembling seals, improve work efficiency, and reduce the difficulty of operation and error rate.
[0054] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9In some embodiments, to further prevent external water from entering the housing 10, a water-blocking component 13 is provided inside the water guide 12. The water-blocking component 13 is spaced apart from the water guide 12. After water enters the water guide 12, the presence of the water-blocking component 13 prevents water from entering the housing 10, protecting the electronic components, circuits, or other sensitive parts inside the housing 10 from damage such as moisture and corrosion. This improves the waterproof performance and durability of the housing 10, achieving a seal-free operation without the need for rubber seals. This improves the user's feel when operating the rotating part 31, eliminates the need for seals, increases work efficiency, and reduces operational difficulty and error rate. The water guide 13 is annular.
[0055] The rotating part 31 abuts against the ends of the water-blocking member 13 and the water-guiding member 12 that are away from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11, which can further achieve a seal and prevent external water from entering the electrical control box 10.
[0056] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, to prevent excessive rotation of the operating member 30, the electronic control assembly further includes a first limiting member 14. The first limiting member 14 is disposed within the receiving groove 11. The operating member 30 also includes a first limiting portion 33 connected to the end of the rotating part 31 facing the electronic control box 10. On the rotation path of the operating member 30, the first limiting portion 33 may abut against the first limiting member 14. Specifically, the first limiting member 14 is disposed on the water guide member 12.
[0057] In some embodiments, when the rotating part 31 rotates clockwise and reaches its limit position, the first limiting part 33 abuts against one side of the first limiting member 14. The first limiting member 14 blocks the first limiting part 33, preventing the rotating part 31 from continuing to rotate. This avoids over-rotation of the rotating part 31, ensuring the safety of the temperature adjustment trigger. Simultaneously, it provides a clear stop signal to the user, improving operational safety and reliability. When the rotating part 31 rotates counterclockwise and reaches its limit position, the first limiting part 33 abuts against the other side of the first limiting member 14. The first limiting member 14 again blocks the first limiting part 33, preventing further rotation. This avoids over-rotation of the rotating part 31, ensuring the safety of the temperature adjustment trigger. Simultaneously, it provides a clear stop signal to the user, improving operational safety and reliability.
[0058] In some embodiments, when there are two first limiting members 14, the first limiting members 14 are spaced apart, and the first limiting part 33 can abut against one of the two first limiting members 14. When the rotating part 31 rotates clockwise and reaches its limit position, the first limiting part 33 abuts against one of the two first limiting members 14, thereby blocking the first limiting part 33 to prevent the rotating part 31 from continuing to rotate. This prevents the rotating part 31 from over-rotating, ensuring the safety of the temperature adjustment trigger. At the same time, it provides a clear stop signal to the user, improving the safety and reliability of operation. When the rotating part 31 rotates counterclockwise and reaches its limit position, the first limiting part 33 abuts against the other of the two first limiting members 14, thereby blocking the first limiting part 33 to prevent the rotating part 31 from continuing to rotate. This prevents the rotating part 31 from over-rotating, ensuring the safety of the temperature adjustment trigger. At the same time, it provides a clear stop signal to the user, improving the safety and reliability of operation.
[0059] In some embodiments, the line connecting one of the two first limiting members 14 to the center of the water guide member 12 is a first line, and the line connecting the other of the two first limiting members 14 to the center of the water guide member 12 is a second line. The included angle between the first line and the second line can be within 60°.
[0060] Of course, in some other embodiments, the number of first limiting members 14 can be one, and the thickness of the first limiting member 14 is relatively thick.
[0061] Combination Figure 7 In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the connection between the temperature adjustment trigger and the connecting part 32, the connecting part 32 is provided with a slot 34. The temperature adjustment trigger is inserted into the slot 34. Both the slot 34 and the temperature adjustment trigger are non-circular. Inserting the temperature adjustment trigger into the slot 34 achieves the connection between the temperature adjustment trigger and the connecting part 32. This is simple to operate and simplifies the assembly process. Assemblers do not need to worry about incorrect or incomplete installation of the temperature adjustment trigger, thereby improving work efficiency and assembly quality. Moreover, the non-circular slot 34, in conjunction with the temperature adjustment trigger, ensures precise transmission between the connecting part 32 and the temperature adjustment trigger. The asymmetry of the shape means that when the connecting part 32 rotates, it will drive the temperature adjustment trigger to rotate at the same angle and direction, avoiding slippage or misalignment, and improving the accuracy and reliability of transmission. At the same time, it increases the contact area and friction between the connecting part 32 and the temperature adjustment trigger, making the connection between the two more stable. This can improve the stability of the overall structure and also help resist external vibration or impact, protecting internal components from damage. The slot 34 and the temperature adjustment trigger part can be semi-circular, trapezoidal, triangular, rectangular, etc., and the slot 34 is arranged along the axial direction of the connecting part 32.
[0062] Combination Figure 10 In some embodiments, in order to prevent the rotating part 31 from falling off the panel 19, the panel 19 is provided with a second limiting member 15. The operating member 30 also includes a locking part 35 connected to the connecting part 32. The locking part 35 can abut against the second limiting member 15. The second limiting member 15 is located between the rotating part 31 and the locking part 35.
[0063] In some embodiments, during the rotation of the rotating part 31, regardless of improper operation, external impact or other factors, the abutment between the locking part 35 and the second limiting member 15 ensures that the rotating part 31 remains in the correct position on the panel 19, preventing the rotating part 31 from accidentally falling off the panel 19. At the same time, the interaction between the locking part 35 and the second limiting member 15 enhances the structural stability between the rotating part 31 and the panel 19, improves the smoothness of the rotating part 31 during rotation, reduces loosening or displacement caused by vibration or shaking, thereby extending the service life of the rotating part 31.
[0064] In some embodiments, the panel 19 has a first through hole, and the second limiting member 15 is elastic. There can be multiple second limiting members 15, which are arranged at equal angular intervals to surround the second through hole formed with the first through hole. When the connecting part 32 passes through the first through hole and enters the panel 19, the locking part 35 can open the second limiting member 15, so that the diameter of the second through hole becomes larger, so that the locking part 35 can enter the panel 19. When the second limiting member 15 is located between the rotating part 31 and the locking part 35, the second limiting member 15 returns to its original state, so that the diameter of the second through hole returns to its original state, so that the locking part 35 can abut against the second limiting member 15, thereby limiting the connecting part 32, preventing the rotating part 31 from falling off the panel 19, and ensuring the stability of the installation of the rotating part 31.
[0065] In some embodiments, to improve integration, the control circuit board 20 integrates a main control circuit and a frequency adjustment circuit. The control circuit board 20 integrates control functions and frequency adjustment functions 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 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 parts scattered.
[0066] In some embodiments, the main control circuit is electrically connected to the temperature adjustment trigger. When the temperature needs to be adjusted, the user can directly operate the operating element 30 outside the panel 19 so that the operating element 30 can drive the temperature adjustment trigger to move. In other words, the user can directly operate the temperature adjustment trigger through the operating element 30 without opening the panel 19, thereby adjusting the temperature. This simplifies the operation steps, improves the user experience, and reduces the risk of the user directly contacting electrical components, thus improving safety.
[0067] When the operating element 30 is activated, the main control circuit can be triggered by the temperature adjustment trigger, so that the frequency adjustment circuit sends a frequency adjustment signal. It can be understood that the operating element 30 drives the temperature adjustment trigger to activate, so as to input the adjustment signal to the main control circuit. The main control circuit sends a control signal to the frequency adjustment circuit according to the adjustment signal. The frequency adjustment circuit is electrically connected to the compressor. The frequency adjustment circuit sends a frequency adjustment signal to the compressor of the refrigeration equipment according to the control signal, so as to control the operation of the compressor.
[0068] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, in order to further improve the integration of the control circuit board 20, the control circuit board 20 integrates indicator lights, and the panel 19 has a light-emitting hole 16 for the light of the indicator lights to be exposed on the panel 19.
[0069] The indicator light is electrically connected to the main control circuit. The main control circuit sends an indication signal to the indicator light to control the indicator light to turn on or off, so that the indicator light can display the operating status of the refrigeration equipment.
[0070] The control circuit board 20 integrates the main control circuit and indicator lights, combining control and indication functions into one unit. This merging of functional units reduces the number of independent components. The integrated design eliminates intermediate connectors (such as wire harnesses and connectors) used to connect various components, reducing assembly difficulty, the types and quantities of components, and costs. It also reduces connection steps and the number of interfaces, simplifying the assembly process, improving production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle. Furthermore, it reduces assembly errors caused by improper connections between multiple components, allowing the control circuit board 20 to be installed as a whole. This reduces the cumulative errors caused by assembling components one by one, improving overall assembly accuracy. At the same time, the integrated design makes the control circuit board 20 more compact in its spatial layout, reducing the space occupied by multiple components that are scattered.
[0071] The light from the indicator light can be directly emitted through the light outlet 16 and clearly displayed outside the panel 19. Users or operators can intuitively understand the operating status of the equipment without opening the panel 19 or using other tools, which improves the convenience and safety of operation.
[0072] To facilitate user observation, the light-emitting hole 16 is necessarily located on the outer side of the panel 19. To facilitate user operation, the light-emitting hole 16 and the operating component 30 are located on the same side of the panel 19. In other words, the operating component 30 is partially located on the outer side of the panel 19. Users can more intuitively see the status of the indicator light through the light-emitting hole 16 and perform corresponding operations on the operating component 30 according to the indicator light prompts. This reduces the time users need to find and confirm the position of the indicator light and improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0073] Designing the light-emitting hole 16 and the operating element 30 on the same side can make more efficient use of the surface space of the panel 19. The compact layout helps to reduce the overall size of the panel 19. Moreover, it can enhance the design consistency of the panel 19, making the appearance of the control box neater and more orderly, and improving the overall aesthetics of the product.
[0074] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, in order to guide the light from the indicator light to the outside of the panel 19, the electronic control assembly further includes a light guide 40. The light guide 40 passes through the light outlet 16 and covers the indicator light. When the indicator light is lit, the light emitted by it is captured by the light guide 40 and guided to the outside of the panel 19, which not only improves the efficiency of light utilization, but also makes the indicator light more aesthetically pleasing and concealed.
[0075] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 11 In order to facilitate the light guide 40 to guide the light emitted by the indicator light to the outside of the panel 19, the light guide 40 includes a first segment 41 and a second segment 42 connected to the first segment 41. The first segment 41 passes through the light outlet 16 and covers the indicator light, while the second segment 42 is located outside the panel 19.
[0076] When the indicator light is on, the light emitted by the indicator light is guided through the first segment 41 to the second segment 42 to guide the light of the indicator light to the outside of the panel 19. Through the continuous transmission from the first segment 41 to the second segment 42, the light of the indicator light can be more concentrated and more clearly propagated to the outside of the panel 19, making it easier for the observer to identify the status of the indicator light, thereby improving the user experience.
[0077] The outer diameter of the first segment 41 matches the inner diameter of the light-emitting hole 16, so that the first segment 41 can seal the light-emitting hole 16, preventing external debris from entering the panel 19 through the light-emitting hole 16, ensuring the safety of the control circuit board 20, protecting the control circuit board 20 from external environmental damage, and extending the service life of the control circuit board 20.
[0078] In some embodiments, in order to limit the light guide 40, the area of the second segment 42 is larger than the area of the light outlet hole 16. When the light guide 40 is inserted into the panel 19, the second segment 42 will be stuck on the panel 19, realizing physical limitation and effectively preventing the light guide 40 from moving or falling off, ensuring stable light transmission. Moreover, when the light guide 40 needs maintenance or replacement, since the second segment 42 is located outside the panel 19, the second segment 42 can be operated directly. The second segment 42 drives the first segment 41, so that the first segment 41 is taken out from the light outlet hole 16, thereby realizing the disassembly of the light guide 40. The operation is simple and does not require disassembling the entire panel 19 or the complex internal structure to maintain or replace the light guide 40. At the same time, the second segment 42 can block the gap between the first segment 41 and the light outlet hole 16 to ensure aesthetics.
[0079] In some embodiments, in order to allow the position of the light-emitting aperture 16 to be unrestricted by the position of the indicator light, the first segment 41 is at least partially tilted, and the light emitted by the indicator light is guided through the first segment 41 to the second segment 42 to guide the light of the indicator light to the outside of the panel 19. This allows the light-emitting aperture 16 and the indicator light to be set according to the specific position of the components set inside the panel 19, which helps to optimize the space utilization inside the electrical control box 10 and provides more possibilities for the installation of other components on the panel 19.
[0080] In some embodiments, the first segment 41 can be integrally formed with the second segment 42, so that there are no additional connectors or seams between the first segment 41 and the second segment 42, thereby reducing the risk of loosening or breakage due to weak connection, enhancing the overall structural stability of the light guide 40, ensuring the continuity and stability of light in the transmission process. Since the first segment 41 can be seamlessly connected with the second segment 42, the light will not be lost due to reflection, scattering or absorption at the seam when it is transmitted from the first segment 41 to the second segment 42, improving the light transmission efficiency and ensuring that more light can reach the output panel 19.
[0081] In some embodiments, the light guide 40 abuts against the control circuit board 20, ensuring that light does not leak when passing through the light guide 40, thereby improving the utilization rate of light.
[0082] Combination Figure 5 In some embodiments, to prevent the operating member 30 from disengaging from the receiving groove 11 radially, the operating member 30 further includes a second limiting portion 36. The second limiting portion 36 is connected to the rotating portion 31 and is located outside the panel 19, between the edge of the opening of the receiving groove 11 and the water guide member 12.
[0083] When the rotating part 31 rotates in the receiving groove 11, the edge of the opening of the receiving groove 11 can limit the second limiting part 36 to prevent the operating member 30 from disengaging from the receiving groove 11 radially, thus ensuring the stability of the rotating part 31 rotating in the receiving groove 11.
[0084] Specifically, the main body of the rotating part 31 is a circular structure parallel to the panel 19 and placed in the receiving groove 11. The outer periphery of the rotating part 31 extends into the receiving groove 11 with an inward flange, which constitutes the second limiting part 36. The second limiting part 36 can contact the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11. The water guide 12 and the water baffle 13 are annular structures arranged coaxially with the second limiting part 36.
[0085] A through hole is provided in the receiving tank 11. The through hole is arranged coaxially with the water guide 12. The connecting part 32 passes through the through hole and connects with the temperature adjustment trigger part. The water blocking part 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the through hole.
[0086] 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.
[0087] Combination Figure 12 and Figure 15 In some embodiments, the refrigeration equipment includes a housing 50, which has a receiving cavity 51 and an opening 52 communicating with the receiving cavity 51. The electrical control assembly also includes an electrical control box 10, which has a panel 19. The electrical control box 10 is installed inside the receiving cavity 51 through the opening 52, and the opening 52 and the operating member 30 are located on the same side of the housing 50. The main control circuit can also be used to collect the temperature of the refrigeration equipment.
[0088] The control circuit board 20 is housed inside the electrical control box 10. The electrical control box 10 contains the control circuit board 20, preventing it from being exposed to the outside, thus ensuring the safety of the control circuit board 20.
[0089] Panel 19 can be part of the housing 50 of the refrigeration equipment, a separate panel, or part of the electrical control box 10.
[0090] The water guide 12 is located outside the electrical control box 10. Water outside the electrical control box 10 is guided through the notch 121 into the receiving tank 11 by the water guide 12, and then flows out through the gap between the rotating part 31 and the bottom wall of the receiving tank 11. This can prevent water from accumulating in the water guide 12, prevent water from seeping into the electrical control box 10, and ensure the safety of the control circuit board 20.
[0091] The electrical control box 10 can be inserted into the receiving cavity 51 at an angle through the opening 52, so that the electrical control box 10 can smoothly enter the receiving cavity 51, ensuring the convenience of installation and realizing the installation of the electrical control box 10.
[0092] Since the opening 52 and the operating component 30 are located on the same side of the housing 50, the electrical control box 10 can not only enter the receiving cavity 51 through the opening 52, but the user can also directly operate the operating component 30 through the opening 52, which is convenient for the user. In addition, the user can also directly observe the display of the indicator light through the opening 52 and the light outlet 11, realizing the three uses of the opening 52. This avoids opening multiple unnecessary openings on the housing 50, thereby maintaining the streamlined appearance and cleanliness of the housing 50.
[0093] Combination Figure 13 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the electrical control box 10 installation, the electrical control box 10 is provided with a buckle 17. The buckle 17 abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 51. The abutment between the buckle 17 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.
[0094] The clip 17 is usually designed with an easy-to-operate structure, such as a flexible clip, 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.
[0095] Combination Figure 13 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the electrical control box 10 during installation, the electrical control box 10 is provided with a third limiting member 18. The third limiting member 18 abuts against the inner wall of the opening 52. The abutment between the third limiting member 18 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.
[0096] In some embodiments, the third limiting member 18 is set at an angle to the buckle 17. Through the cooperation of the third limiting member 18 and the buckle 17, 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.
[0097] In some embodiments, the included angle between the third limiting member 18 and the buckle 17 can be set from 45° to 135°. In this embodiment, the included angle between the third limiting member 18 and the buckle 17 is 90°, that is, the third limiting member 18 and the buckle 17 are set perpendicularly, and this should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0098] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation of the control box 10 into the receiving cavity 51, the end of the third limiting member 18 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.
