Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wiring covers for air conditioner outdoor units, and in particular to a wiring cover with anti-theft function. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing field of air conditioner outdoor unit wiring covers, there is a general problem of insufficient safety protection performance. Traditional wiring covers only serve a simple covering function, and their mounting holes are usually directly exposed, which also exposes the fixing screws, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a new design that can effectively improve anti-theft performance and ensure the safety of the internal wiring and components of the wiring cover. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wiring cover with anti-theft function, which solves the problem that the installation holes of the wiring cover of the air conditioner outdoor unit are directly exposed, leading to safety hazards.

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A wiring cover with anti-theft function includes a cover body, a handle groove formed on the front of the cover body, an outwardly flared edge formed at the open end of the cover body, a plurality of mounting holes equally spaced on the flared edge, and a stop strip detachably installed on the side of the flared edge near the handle groove, the stop strip covering all the mounting holes.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting hole is a countersunk hole.

[0007] Preferably, a recessed groove is formed on the side of the protruding edge near the handle groove, the baffle is detachably inserted into the recessed groove, and several mounting holes are connected to the recessed groove.

[0008] Preferably, when the stop bar is fully inserted into the inner side of the sink groove, the side of the stop bar near the handle groove is flush with the side of the protrusion near the handle groove.

[0009] Preferably, the baffle is made of iron, and several magnets are fixed to the inner wall of the settling tank, so that the baffle is attracted and positioned in the settling tank by the magnets.

[0010] Preferably, the baffle is interference-fitted into the settling groove.

[0011] Preferably, the opening of the handle groove is rounded.

[0012] Preferably, the protruding edge and the cover are integrally formed, and the connection between the two is a smooth arc transition.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention features a recessed groove and a retaining strip on the raised edge. After installation, the retaining strip conceals all mounting holes and screws. Furthermore, since the outer surface of the retaining strip is flush with the outer surface of the raised edge, it integrates better, reducing the probability of the mounting screws being discovered and significantly improving anti-theft performance. Because the retaining strip is installed inside the recessed groove using a magnet or interference fit, a special tool, such as a suction cup, is required to remove it. This increases the difficulty of disassembly even if the retaining strip is discovered, further enhancing anti-theft performance. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a wiring cover with anti-theft function, including a cover body 1. The front of the cover body 1 has a handle groove 2. The opening of the handle groove 2 is rounded, which is more ergonomic. The open end of the cover body 1 has an outwardly flared edge 3. The flared edge 3 and the cover body 1 are integrally set, and the connection between the two is a smooth arc transition. The integral setting allows the cover body 1 and the flared edge 3 to be integrally injection molded.

[0021] A number of mounting holes 4 are evenly spaced on the convex edge 3. The mounting holes 4 are countersunk holes. A countersunk groove 5 is provided on the side of the convex edge 3 near the handle groove 2. The mounting holes 4 are all connected to the countersunk groove 5. A stop bar 6 is inserted into the countersunk groove 5. The stop bar 6 is made of iron. A number of magnets 7 are fixed on the inner wall of the countersunk groove 5. The stop bar 6 is attracted and positioned in the countersunk groove 5 by the magnets 7. The stop bar 6 covers all the mounting holes 4. When the stop bar 6 is fully inserted into the inside of the countersunk groove 5, the side of the stop bar 6 near the handle groove 2 is flush with the side of the convex edge 3 near the handle groove 2.

[0022] After the power cord of the air conditioner is connected to the outdoor unit, install the cover 1. The cover 1 will cover the wiring position. During installation, align the mounting hole 4 on the protruding edge 3 with the screw hole on the outdoor unit, and then insert the screw into the mounting hole 4. Screw the screw into the screw hole on the outdoor unit to install the cover 1.

[0023] After installation, align the retaining strip 6 with the recess 5 and insert it. The retaining strip 6 is then attracted by the magnet 7 and positioned inside the recess 5. The retaining strip 6 covers the screw, thereby improving the anti-theft performance. However, after the retaining strip 6 is inserted into the recess 5, it requires a relatively special tool to pull it out, such as using a suction cup to attract the retaining strip 6 before it can be pulled out, which further increases the difficulty of disassembly.

[0024] Example 2: This example provides a further technical solution based on Example 1. The baffle 6 is interference-fitted into the recess 5. Compared with Example 1, the interference-fitting installation reduces the overall manufacturing cost of the cover 1. Moreover, the interference-fitting method is more difficult to disassemble than the magnet 7 connection, and the anti-theft performance is further improved.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
