DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear, the technical scheme of the utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope protected by the utility model.

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] As Figure 1 Indicated, the utility model provides a kind of temperature sensing bag fixing structure, and side plate is integrally machined into shape;Specifically, in the present embodiment, the air conditioner environment temperature sensing bag 4 of outdoor unit is connected from electrical box, and electrical box is installed in the right side of outdoor unit, so temperature sensing bag fixing structure is suitable for right side plate, so the following are all with side plate as right side plate 3 as example to be specifically explained.

[0036] Of course, if wiring box is installed in the left side of outdoor unit, then temperature sensing bag fixing structure can also be arranged on left side plate, can be selected according to actual situation setting.

[0037] As Figure 1 Indicated, in the present embodiment, fixing structure 5 includes wire passing groove 51, at least one wire passing structure, position adjusting structure 54;Wherein:

[0038] Wire passing groove 51 is opened in the edge of right side plate 3, to pass through the cable of temperature sensing bag 4;Specifically, considering electrical box position, in the present embodiment, wire passing groove 51 is opened in the top of right side plate 3;It needs to be explained that wire passing groove 51 is arc slot structure, and cable is conveniently passed;For example, semicircular slot, half-elliptical slot etc.

[0039] As Figure 2 Indicated, in the present embodiment, considering cable diameter, to reduce the space occupied, wire passing groove 51 is U-shaped slot structure, and the radius of wire passing groove 51 should be greater than cable diameter, to avoid cable protruding from the top edge of right side plate 3;Further, to prevent wire passing groove 51 from causing damage to cable, the edge of wire passing groove 51 is provided with arc transition flanging structure.

[0040] Through flanging structure, not only the turning angle of bending wire passing place is reduced, but also the area of supporting cable is increased.

[0041] It needs to be explained that flanging structure can be arranged on one side of wire passing groove 51, or on both sides.

[0042] The utility model discloses a right side plate 3 top is provided with U shape wire passing groove 51, and the wire passing groove 51 is properly designed to prevent cutting line, and after the wire of temperature sensing bag is connected, the wire of temperature sensing bag is arranged to the outside through the wire passing groove 51 of right side plate 3 top.

[0043] At least one wire passing structure is arranged in sequence and side by side to limit and fix the temperature sensing bag 4 along the axial direction.

[0044] The adjusting structure 54 is arranged at one end of the wire passing structure to adjust the position of the temperature sensing element 41 of the temperature sensing bag 4.

[0045] The temperature sensing bag fixing structure provided by the utility model is integrally stamped with the right side plate 3, simple and reliable, comprising the wire passing groove 51, at least one wire passing structure and the adjusting structure 54, so that the right side plate 3 of the outdoor unit is provided with the temperature sensing bag fixing structure, and the temperature sensing bag clamp is not needed to be installed, after the right side plate 3 is assembled, the staff can directly complete the wire arrangement of the temperature sensing bag 4, the operation is simple and reliable, a set of temperature sensing bag clamp mold cost can be saved, the operation process is reduced, the film reversing problem is improved, and the manpower investment is reduced.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The wire passing structure comprises the left side wire passing structure 52 and the right side wire passing structure 53 which are arranged in mirror image symmetry and have one side opening, the opening of the left side wire passing structure 52 faces right to limit and fix the left side, and the opening of the right side wire passing structure 53 faces left to limit and fix the right side.

[0047] The utility model discloses that the wire passing groove lower part is designed with two wire passing structures, which are the left side wire passing structure 52 and the right side wire passing structure 53 respectively, the two wire passing structures are same in structure and opposite in direction, so as to facilitate wire arrangement and prevent the temperature sensing bag wire from loosening.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3 The right side wire passing structure 53 comprises the L-shaped wire pressing piece 532, the reinforcing rib 533 and the wire passing cavity 531.

[0049] One end of the L-shaped wire pressing piece 532 is connected with the surface of the right side plate 3, and the other end is arranged parallel above the surface of the right side plate 3 to form the wire passing cavity 531 between the right side plate 3 and the L-shaped wire pressing piece 532; the temperature sensing bag 4 enters the wire passing cavity 531 through the opening of the right side wire passing structure 53 to realize position fixing.

[0050] The reinforcing rib 533 extends along the length of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, starting from the junction of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and the right side plate 3, and extending to the horizontal end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532. The reinforcing rib 533 is integrally stamped from the L-shaped pressure plate 532, and protrudes outward from the surface of the L-shaped pressure plate 532. It should be noted that the outward protrusion of the reinforcing rib 533 refers to the direction away from the temperature sensing bulb 4; while the side of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 within the wire-passing cavity 531 corresponding to the position of the reinforcing rib 533 is recessed. The reinforcing rib 533 is designed to address the strength issue of the pressure plate 532; the outward protrusion in the middle prevents deformation of the L-shaped pressure plate.

[0051] It should be noted that, as Figures 1-3 As shown in the attached diagram, the top of the pressure plate 532 is a rectangular plate-like structure. However, to achieve the pressure effect, other shapes of pressure plates 532 can also be used, such as triangular, semi-circular, elliptical, or trapezoidal free arms, as long as the pressure function is met. The shape can be selected based on the diameter of the temperature sensor 4. When choosing different shapes of top arm pressure plates 532, the corresponding shape can be selected according to the diameter of the temperature sensor 4, which not only provides good applicability but also ensures the pressure effect and reduces costs.

[0052] It should be noted that the side of the pressure plate 532 that contacts the temperature sensor 4 can be a flat structure, and the temperature sensor 4 is only limited and fixed by the free arm at the top of the pressure plate 532. Although this structure can limit and fix the temperature sensor 4, and uses a left-right structure to stably limit the temperature sensor 4, there is still a risk of it coming off during outdoor unit vibration. Therefore, to increase the limiting effect and prevent the wire from coming off, an anti-detachment structure (not shown in the attached figure) is provided on the side of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 facing the wire passage cavity 531. By setting the anti-detachment structure, the temperature sensor 4 will not come off due to vibration during outdoor unit use, increasing the limiting and fixing effect of the temperature sensor 4 and improving the stability of the equipment during use.

[0053] Specifically, the anti-detachment structure includes anti-detachment protrusions and / or anti-slip textures provided on the L-shaped pressure plate 532.

[0054] It should be noted that the anti-detachment structure may only have an anti-detachment protrusion. For example, the anti-detachment protrusion may be set at the end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, that is, the end facing the opening, so as to facilitate the anti-detachment effect after the temperature sensing bag 4 passes through.

[0055] The anti-detachment structure can also consist of only anti-slip textures, which are placed in the area where the L-shaped pressure plate 532 contacts the temperature sensor 4. This contact area can be relatively large; for example, the entire plane of the horizontal arm of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 can be covered with anti-slip textures. The structure of the anti-slip textures can be implemented using existing technologies, and no specific limitations are imposed here. Adding anti-slip textures increases friction, preventing the temperature sensor 4 from detaching from the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0056] Of course, the anti-detachment structure can also be equipped with both anti-slip textures and anti-detachment protrusions. The anti-detachment protrusions can be located at the end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, that is, the end facing the opening, to facilitate the anti-detachment effect after the temperature sensor 4 passes through. The anti-slip textures are located in the area where the L-shaped pressure plate 532 contacts the temperature sensor 4. This contact area can be relatively large; for example, the entire plane of the horizontal arm of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 can be covered with anti-slip textures. The structure of the anti-slip textures can be implemented using existing technologies, and no specific limitations are imposed here. Adding anti-slip textures increases friction, preventing the temperature sensor 4 from detaching from the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0057] The main body of the wire guiding structure of this utility model is an L-shaped wire pressing sheet, which is stamped and formed. A wire guiding cavity 531 is formed between the L-shaped wire pressing sheet and the right side plate 3. When the ambient temperature sensing bag 4 is handling wires, the wires pass through the wire guiding cavity 531 and are pressed under the action of the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532. A reinforcing rib 533 is designed on the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532. The protruding design can be directly stamped and formed to strengthen the structural strength of the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532 and prevent the wire pressing sheet 532 from deforming or breaking during the wire handling process.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, to prevent the temperature sensing element 41 of the temperature sensing bulb 4 from contacting the surface of the right side plate 3 and affecting temperature monitoring, in this embodiment, the adjusting structure 54 includes an upwardly protruding structure; the height difference between the top of the protruding structure and the top of the wire-passing cavity 531 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the temperature sensing bulb 4. It should be noted that "slightly smaller" here means that the difference between the height difference and the diameter of the temperature sensing bulb is small, for example, 1mm-3mm. Of course, this deviation also depends on the actual diameter of the temperature sensing bulb used. The protruding structure is to make the temperature sensing element 41 tilt upwards and not contact the surface of the right side plate 3. This deviation also needs to be calculated according to the formula based on the length of the temperature sensing element 41, etc. As long as it can satisfy the requirement that after the temperature sensing bulb 4 is fixed by the wire-passing structure, the temperature sensing element 41 can tilt up to a certain height without contacting the right side plate 3, the tilting height can be large or small. This utility model protects this anti-contact tilting protruding structure design concept, and the tilting height should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0059] The lower part of the wiring structure of this utility model has a convex bulge-type adjustment structure. The convex bulge protrudes outward. This design is mainly to take into account that the head of the temperature sensing element is the temperature sensing element. When the ambient temperature sensing element runs to the convex bulge position, it will be squeezed by the convex bulge and tilt outward to avoid the temperature sensing element from contacting the side plate and affecting the ambient temperature monitoring.

[0060] This utility model provides a temperature sensing bag fixing structure. The ambient temperature sensing bag fixing structure is integrally stamped with the right side plate. The right side plate has its own temperature sensing bag fixing structure, eliminating the need to install temperature sensing bag clamps. After assembling the right side plate, employees can directly complete the temperature sensing bag wiring. The operation is simple and reliable, saving the cost of a set of temperature sensing bag clamp molds, reducing operation steps, improving the sheet rewinding problem, and reducing manpower input.

[0061] Example 2:

[0062] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides an outdoor unit including a side panel and a temperature sensing bulb fixing structure integrally formed with the side panel.

[0063] Specifically, the side panel is the right side panel 3, and the temperature sensing bulb fixing structure is integrally stamped with the right side panel 3.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing structure 5 includes a wire guide groove 51, at least one wire guide structure, and an adjustment structure 54; wherein:

[0065] The cable tray 51 is provided on the side of the right side plate 3 to allow the cable of the temperature sensor 4 to pass through; specifically, considering the position of the electrical box, in this embodiment, the cable tray 51 is provided on the top of the right side plate 3; it should be noted that the cable tray 51 is an arc-shaped groove structure to facilitate the passage of the cable; for example, a semi-circular groove, a semi-elliptical groove, etc.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, considering the cable diameter, in order to reduce the space occupied, the cable tray 51 is a U-shaped tray structure, and the radius of the cable tray 51 should be larger than the cable diameter to avoid the cable protruding from the top edge of the right side plate 3; furthermore, in order to prevent the cable tray 51 from damaging the cable, a rounded edge structure is provided at the edge of the cable tray 51.

[0067] The folded edge structure not only reduces the turning angle at the bend, but also increases the area supporting the cable.

[0068] It should be noted that the folded edge structure can be set on one side of the wire groove 51 or on both sides.

[0069] This utility model provides a U-shaped cable tray 51 at the top of the right side plate 3 to facilitate the passage of cables. The cable tray 51 is appropriately designed with folded edges to prevent cable cutting. After the ambient temperature sensor is connected to the cable, the cable is routed to the outside through the cable tray 51 at the top of the right side plate 3.

[0070] At least one wire-passing structure is arranged side by side in sequence to limit and fix the temperature sensing bulb 4 along the axial direction;

[0071] The adjustment structure 54 is set at one end of the wire-passing structure to adjust the position of the temperature sensing element 41 of the temperature sensing bulb 4.

[0072] The temperature sensor fixing structure provided by this utility model is a simple and reliable integral stamping structure with the right side plate 3. It includes a wire channel 51, at least one wire channel structure and an adjustment structure 54, so that the right side plate 3 of the outdoor unit has its own temperature sensor fixing structure. There is no need to install temperature sensor clips. After assembling the right side plate 3, employees can directly complete the wire management of the temperature sensor 4. The operation is simple and reliable, which can save the cost of a set of temperature sensor clip molds, reduce operation steps, improve the problem of flipping the film, and reduce manpower input.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wire-passing structure includes a left wire-passing structure 52 and a right wire-passing structure 53 with one side opening arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner. The opening of the left wire-passing structure 52 faces to the right for left-side limiting and fixing; the opening of the right wire-passing structure 53 faces to the left for right-side limiting and fixing.

[0074] The lower part of the wire channel of this utility model is designed with two wire passage structures, namely the left wire passage structure 52 and the right wire passage structure 53. The two wire passage structures are identical in structure but opposite in direction, which facilitates wire management and prevents the temperature sensing coil from loosening.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the right-side wire guide structure 53 includes an L-shaped wire clamping piece 532, a reinforcing rib 533, and a wire guide cavity 531; wherein:

[0076] One end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 is connected to the surface of the right side plate 3, and the other end is set parallel above the surface of the right side plate 3 to form a wire passage cavity 531 between the right side plate 3 and the L-shaped pressure plate 532; the temperature sensing bulb 4 enters the wire passage cavity 531 through the opening of the right side wire passage structure 53 to achieve position fixation.

[0077] The reinforcing rib 533 extends along the length of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, starting from the junction of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and the right side plate 3, and extending to the horizontal end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532. The reinforcing rib 533 is integrally stamped from the L-shaped pressure plate 532, and protrudes outward from the surface of the L-shaped pressure plate 532. It should be noted that the outward protrusion of the reinforcing rib 533 refers to the direction away from the temperature sensing bulb 4; while the side of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 within the wire-passing cavity 531 corresponding to the position of the reinforcing rib 533 is recessed. The reinforcing rib 533 is designed to address the strength issue of the pressure plate 532; the outward protrusion in the middle prevents deformation of the L-shaped pressure plate.

[0078] It should be noted that, as Figures 1-3 As shown in the attached diagram, the top of the pressure plate 532 is a rectangular plate-like structure. However, to achieve the pressure effect, other shapes of pressure plates 532 can also be used, such as triangular, semi-circular, elliptical, or trapezoidal free arms, as long as the pressure function is met. The shape can be selected based on the diameter of the temperature sensor 4. When choosing different shapes of top arm pressure plates 532, the corresponding shape can be selected according to the diameter of the temperature sensor 4, which not only provides good applicability but also ensures the pressure effect and reduces costs.

[0079] It should be noted that the side of the pressure plate 532 that contacts the temperature sensor 4 can be a flat structure, and the temperature sensor 4 is only limited and fixed by the free arm at the top of the pressure plate 532. Although this structure can limit and fix the temperature sensor 4, and uses a left-right structure to stably limit the temperature sensor 4, there is still a risk of it coming off during outdoor unit vibration. Therefore, to increase the limiting effect and prevent the wire from coming off, an anti-detachment structure (not shown in the attached figure) is provided on the side of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 facing the wire passage cavity 531. By setting the anti-detachment structure, the temperature sensor 4 will not come off due to vibration during outdoor unit use, increasing the limiting and fixing effect of the temperature sensor 4 and improving the stability of the equipment during use.

[0080] Specifically, the anti-detachment structure includes anti-detachment protrusions and / or anti-slip textures provided on the L-shaped pressure plate 532.

[0081] It should be noted that the anti-detachment structure may only have an anti-detachment protrusion. For example, the anti-detachment protrusion may be set at the end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, that is, the end facing the opening, so as to facilitate the anti-detachment effect after the temperature sensing bag 4 passes through.

[0082] The anti-detachment structure can also consist of only anti-slip textures, which are placed in the area where the L-shaped pressure plate 532 contacts the temperature sensor 4. This contact area can be relatively large; for example, the entire plane of the horizontal arm of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 can be covered with anti-slip textures. The structure of the anti-slip textures can be implemented using existing technologies, and no specific limitations are imposed here. Adding anti-slip textures increases friction, preventing the temperature sensor 4 from detaching from the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0083] Of course, the anti-detachment structure can also be equipped with both anti-slip textures and anti-detachment protrusions. The anti-detachment protrusions can be located at the end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, that is, the end facing the opening, to facilitate the anti-detachment effect after the temperature sensor 4 passes through. The anti-slip textures are located in the area where the L-shaped pressure plate 532 contacts the temperature sensor 4. This contact area can be relatively large; for example, the entire plane of the horizontal arm of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 can be covered with anti-slip textures. The structure of the anti-slip textures can be implemented using existing technologies, and no specific limitations are imposed here. Adding anti-slip textures increases friction, preventing the temperature sensor 4 from detaching from the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0084] The main body of the wire guiding structure of this utility model is an L-shaped wire pressing sheet, which is stamped and formed. A wire guiding cavity 531 is formed between the L-shaped wire pressing sheet and the right side plate 3. When the ambient temperature sensing bag 4 is handling wires, the wires pass through the wire guiding cavity 531 and are pressed under the action of the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532. A reinforcing rib 533 is designed on the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532. The protruding design can be directly stamped and formed to strengthen the structural strength of the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532 and prevent the wire pressing sheet 532 from deforming or breaking during the wire handling process.

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, to prevent the temperature sensing element 41 of the temperature sensing bulb 4 from contacting the surface of the right side plate 3 and affecting temperature monitoring, in this embodiment, the adjusting structure 54 includes an upwardly protruding structure; the height difference between the top of the protruding structure and the top of the wire-passing cavity 531 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the temperature sensing bulb 4. It should be noted that "slightly smaller" here means that the difference between the height difference and the diameter of the temperature sensing bulb is small, for example, 1mm-3mm. Of course, this deviation also depends on the actual diameter of the temperature sensing bulb used. The protruding structure is to make the temperature sensing element 41 tilt upwards and not contact the surface of the right side plate 3. This deviation also needs to be calculated according to the formula based on the length of the temperature sensing element 41, etc. As long as it can satisfy the requirement that after the temperature sensing bulb 4 is fixed by the wire-passing structure, the temperature sensing element 41 can tilt up to a certain height without contacting the right side plate 3, the tilting height can be large or small. This utility model protects this anti-contact tilting protruding structure design concept, and the tilting height should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0086] The lower part of the wiring structure of this utility model has a convex bulge-type adjustment structure. The convex bulge protrudes outward. This design is mainly to take into account that the head of the temperature sensing element is the temperature sensing element. When the ambient temperature sensing element runs to the convex bulge position, it will be squeezed by the convex bulge and tilt outward to avoid the temperature sensing element from contacting the side plate and affecting the ambient temperature monitoring.

[0087] The outdoor unit provided by this utility model has an integrated stamped temperature sensor fixing structure on the right side plate 3, which has the advantages of simple and reliable structure, saving the cost of a set of temperature sensor clamping molds, reducing operation steps, improving the problem of flipping the sensor, and reducing manpower input.

[0088] During installation, the outdoor unit of this utility model has the condenser 2 mounted on the air conditioner chassis 1 and secured with screws. The right side plate 3 is assembled on the right side of the outdoor unit and secured to the chassis 1 and condenser 2 with screws. The ambient temperature sensor 4 is routed along the top of the right side plate 3. Figure 2 As shown, a U-shaped notch is designed at the top of the right side panel 3, serving as a wire guide groove 51 for the temperature sensor. The wire guide groove 51 has a folded edge to prevent wire cutting. After the ambient temperature sensor is connected, the wire is routed to the outside through the wire guide groove 51 at the top of the right side panel. Two wire guide structures are designed at the bottom of the wire guide groove 51: a left wire guide structure 52 and a right wire guide structure 53. These two structures are identical in structure but opposite in direction, facilitating wire routing and preventing the temperature sensor wire from becoming loose. A protrusion, or adjustment structure 54, is designed at the bottom of the wire guide structure. This protrusion is designed to prevent the temperature sensor element 41 from contacting the right side panel 3 and affecting ambient temperature monitoring.

[0089] Example 3:

[0090] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides an air conditioner, including an outdoor unit.

[0091] The outdoor unit includes a side panel and a temperature sensing bulb fixing structure integrally formed with the side panel.

[0092] Specifically, the side panel is the right side panel 3, and the temperature sensing bulb fixing structure is integrally stamped with the right side panel 3.

[0093] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing structure 5 includes a wire guide groove 51, at least one wire guide structure, and an adjustment structure 54; wherein:

[0094] The cable tray 51 is provided on the side of the right side plate 3 to allow the cable of the temperature sensor 4 to pass through; specifically, considering the position of the electrical box, in this embodiment, the cable tray 51 is provided on the top of the right side plate 3; it should be noted that the cable tray 51 is an arc-shaped groove structure to facilitate the passage of the cable; for example, a semi-circular groove, a semi-elliptical groove, etc.

[0095] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, considering the cable diameter, in order to reduce the space occupied, the cable tray 51 is a U-shaped tray structure, and the radius of the cable tray 51 should be larger than the cable diameter to avoid the cable protruding from the top edge of the right side plate 3; furthermore, in order to prevent the cable tray 51 from damaging the cable, a rounded edge structure is provided at the edge of the cable tray 51.

[0096] The folded edge structure not only reduces the turning angle at the bend, but also increases the area supporting the cable.

[0097] It should be noted that the folded edge structure can be set on one side of the wire groove 51 or on both sides.

[0098] This utility model provides a U-shaped cable tray 51 at the top of the right side plate 3 to facilitate the passage of cables. The cable tray 51 is appropriately designed with folded edges to prevent cable cutting. After the ambient temperature sensor is connected to the cable, the cable is routed to the outside through the cable tray 51 at the top of the right side plate 3.

[0099] At least one wire-passing structure is arranged side by side in sequence to limit and fix the temperature sensing bulb 4 along the axial direction;

[0100] The adjustment structure 54 is set at one end of the wire-passing structure to adjust the position of the temperature sensing element 41 of the temperature sensing bulb 4.

[0101] The temperature sensor fixing structure provided by this utility model is a simple and reliable integral stamping structure with the right side plate 3. It includes a wire channel 51, at least one wire channel structure and an adjustment structure 54, so that the right side plate 3 of the outdoor unit has its own temperature sensor fixing structure. There is no need to install temperature sensor clips. After assembling the right side plate 3, employees can directly complete the wire management of the temperature sensor 4. The operation is simple and reliable, which can save the cost of a set of temperature sensor clip molds, reduce operation steps, improve the problem of flipping the film, and reduce manpower input.

[0102] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wire-passing structure includes a left wire-passing structure 52 and a right wire-passing structure 53 with one side opening arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner. The opening of the left wire-passing structure 52 faces to the right for left-side limiting and fixing; the opening of the right wire-passing structure 53 faces to the left for right-side limiting and fixing.

[0103] The lower part of the wire channel of this utility model is designed with two wire passage structures, namely the left wire passage structure 52 and the right wire passage structure 53. The two wire passage structures are identical in structure but opposite in direction, which facilitates wire management and prevents the temperature sensing coil from loosening.

[0104] like Figure 3 As shown, the right-side wire guide structure 53 includes an L-shaped wire clamping piece 532, a reinforcing rib 533, and a wire guide cavity 531; wherein:

[0105] One end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 is connected to the surface of the right side plate 3, and the other end is set parallel above the surface of the right side plate 3 to form a wire passage cavity 531 between the right side plate 3 and the L-shaped pressure plate 532; the temperature sensing bulb 4 enters the wire passage cavity 531 through the opening of the right side wire passage structure 53 to achieve position fixation.

[0106] The reinforcing rib 533 extends along the length of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, starting from the junction of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and the right side plate 3, and extending to the horizontal end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532. The reinforcing rib 533 is integrally stamped from the L-shaped pressure plate 532, and protrudes outward from the surface of the L-shaped pressure plate 532. It should be noted that the outward protrusion of the reinforcing rib 533 refers to the direction away from the temperature sensing bulb 4; while the side of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 within the wire-passing cavity 531 corresponding to the position of the reinforcing rib 533 is recessed. The reinforcing rib 533 is designed to address the strength issue of the pressure plate 532; the outward protrusion in the middle prevents deformation of the L-shaped pressure plate.

[0107] It should be noted that, as Figures 1-3 As shown in the attached diagram, the top of the pressure plate 532 is a rectangular plate-like structure. However, to achieve the pressure effect, other shapes of pressure plates 532 can also be used, such as triangular, semi-circular, elliptical, or trapezoidal free arms, as long as the pressure function is met. The shape can be selected based on the diameter of the temperature sensor 4. When choosing different shapes of top arm pressure plates 532, the corresponding shape can be selected according to the diameter of the temperature sensor 4, which not only provides good applicability but also ensures the pressure effect and reduces costs.

[0108] It should be noted that the side of the pressure plate 532 that contacts the temperature sensor 4 can be a flat structure, and the temperature sensor 4 is only limited and fixed by the free arm at the top of the pressure plate 532. Although this structure can limit and fix the temperature sensor 4, and uses a left-right structure to stably limit the temperature sensor 4, there is still a risk of it coming off during outdoor unit vibration. Therefore, to increase the limiting effect and prevent the wire from coming off, an anti-detachment structure (not shown in the attached figure) is provided on the side of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 facing the wire passage cavity 531. By setting the anti-detachment structure, the temperature sensor 4 will not come off due to vibration during outdoor unit use, increasing the limiting and fixing effect of the temperature sensor 4 and improving the stability of the equipment during use.

[0109] Specifically, the anti-detachment structure includes anti-detachment protrusions and / or anti-slip textures provided on the L-shaped pressure plate 532.

[0110] It should be noted that the anti-detachment structure may only have an anti-detachment protrusion. For example, the anti-detachment protrusion may be set at the end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, that is, the end facing the opening, so as to facilitate the anti-detachment effect after the temperature sensing bag 4 passes through.

[0111] The anti-detachment structure can also consist of only anti-slip textures, which are placed in the area where the L-shaped pressure plate 532 contacts the temperature sensor 4. This contact area can be relatively large; for example, the entire plane of the horizontal arm of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 can be covered with anti-slip textures. The structure of the anti-slip textures can be implemented using existing technologies, and no specific limitations are imposed here. Adding anti-slip textures increases friction, preventing the temperature sensor 4 from detaching from the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0112] Of course, the anti-detachment structure can also be equipped with both anti-slip textures and anti-detachment protrusions. The anti-detachment protrusions can be located at the end of the L-shaped pressure plate 532, that is, the end facing the opening, to facilitate the anti-detachment effect after the temperature sensor 4 passes through. The anti-slip textures are located in the area where the L-shaped pressure plate 532 contacts the temperature sensor 4. This contact area can be relatively large; for example, the entire plane of the horizontal arm of the L-shaped pressure plate 532 can be covered with anti-slip textures. The structure of the anti-slip textures can be implemented using existing technologies, and no specific limitations are imposed here. Adding anti-slip textures increases friction, preventing the temperature sensor 4 from detaching from the L-shaped pressure plate 532 and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0113] The main body of the wire guiding structure of this utility model is an L-shaped wire pressing sheet, which is stamped and formed. A wire guiding cavity 531 is formed between the L-shaped wire pressing sheet and the right side plate 3. When the ambient temperature sensing bag 4 is handling wires, the wires pass through the wire guiding cavity 531 and are pressed under the action of the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532. A reinforcing rib 533 is designed on the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532. The protruding design can be directly stamped and formed to strengthen the structural strength of the L-shaped wire pressing sheet 532 and prevent the wire pressing sheet 532 from deforming or breaking during the wire handling process.

[0114] like Figure 3As shown, to prevent the temperature sensing element 41 of the temperature sensing bulb 4 from contacting the surface of the right side plate 3 and affecting temperature monitoring, in this embodiment, the adjusting structure 54 includes an upwardly protruding structure; the height difference between the top of the protruding structure and the top of the wire-passing cavity 531 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the temperature sensing bulb 4. It should be noted that "slightly smaller" here means that the difference between the height difference and the diameter of the temperature sensing bulb is small, for example, 1mm-3mm. Of course, this deviation also depends on the actual diameter of the temperature sensing bulb used. The protruding structure is to make the temperature sensing element 41 tilt upwards and not contact the surface of the right side plate 3. This deviation also needs to be calculated according to the formula based on the length of the temperature sensing element 41, etc. As long as it can satisfy the requirement that after the temperature sensing bulb 4 is fixed by the wire-passing structure, the temperature sensing element 41 can tilt up to a certain height without contacting the right side plate 3, the tilting height can be large or small. This utility model protects this anti-contact tilting protruding structure design concept, and the tilting height should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0115] It should be noted that the shape of the adjustment structure 54 is not limited in this embodiment. Although the diagram shows an elliptical structure, the adjustment mechanism can also be set to other shapes, such as a semi-circular protrusion, an elliptical protrusion, a frustum-shaped protrusion, etc. The distance between the top plane of the protrusion and the inner plane of the wire-passing structure is slightly smaller than the diameter of the temperature sensing bulb, so that the temperature sensing bulb wire is squeezed by both the wire-passing structure and the protrusion, and is fixed more tightly. In addition, the protrusion can make the temperature sensing element at the head of the temperature sensing bulb wire tilt and lift slightly, reducing contact with the air conditioner itself and improving temperature sensing sensitivity.

[0116] The lower part of the wiring structure of this utility model has a convex bulge-type adjustment structure. The convex bulge protrudes outward. This design is mainly to take into account that the head of the temperature sensing element is the temperature sensing element. When the ambient temperature sensing element runs to the convex bulge position, it will be squeezed by the convex bulge and tilt outward to avoid the temperature sensing element from contacting the side plate and affecting the ambient temperature monitoring.
