[0062] The electrical control box assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the electrical control box assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an electrical control box 1 and an insect-proof brush 2.

[0064] Specifically, see the attached document. Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the electrical control box 1 has a cable outlet 11, and an insect-proof brush 2 is disposed at the cable outlet 11. The insect-proof brush 2 has bristles, at least a portion of which are located inside the cable outlet 11. It is understood that in the prior art, after the cover is assembled onto the electrical control box body, a large gap remains at the cable outlet due to the low cable routing position, making it easy for insects to enter. This invention, by providing an insect-proof brush 2 at the cable outlet 11, allows the bristles of the brush to fill the gap at the cable outlet 11, significantly reducing the area of ​​the gap and preventing insects from entering the electrical control box 1 through the cable outlet 11. This reduces the risk of short circuits, prevents insect body fluids from reducing the insulation performance of the circuit board, protects the performance of components inside the electrical control box 1, prevents component failure, and greatly reduces the risk of fire and electric shock, thereby reducing safety hazards and improving the overall reliability, stability, and safety of the electrical control box assembly 10.

[0065] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the electrical control box assembly 10 has a wire outlet 11. An insect-proof brush 2 is provided at the wire outlet 11. The bristles of the insect-proof brush 2 can fill the gap at the wire outlet 11, greatly reducing the area of ​​the gap at the wire outlet 11. This prevents insects from entering the electrical control box 1 through the wire outlet 11, reducing the risk of short circuits, preventing insect body fluids from reducing the insulation performance of the circuit board, ensuring the performance of the components inside the electrical control box 1, preventing component failure, and greatly reducing the risk of fire and electric shock, reducing safety hazards, and improving the overall reliability, stability and safety of the electrical control box assembly 10.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 4 and attached Figure 6 As shown, the outlet 11 includes a first outlet 111, the insect-proof brush 2 includes a first insect-proof brush 21, and the control box 1 includes a box body 12 and a first cover 13. The box body 12 has an open opening 121. The first outlet 111 is located on the peripheral wall of the box body 12 and at the end of the box body 12 with the open opening 121. The first cover 13 is placed over the open opening 121. The first insect-proof brush 21 is placed on the box body 12 and is arranged opposite to the first outlet 111. A portion of the first insect-proof brush 21 is located between the first cover 13 and the box body 12.

[0067] Understandably, in the prior art, after the front cover is assembled onto the electrical control box body, a large gap remains at the outlet of the wires due to the low wiring position, making it easy for insects to enter. This invention addresses this by providing a first insect-proof brush 21 at the first outlet 111 where the box body 12 and the first cover 13 meet. This brush 21 is positioned between the first cover 13 and the box body 12, filling the gap remaining after the motor wire 101 is inserted into the first outlet 111, reducing the area of ​​the gap, and preventing insects from entering the electrical control box 1 through the outlet 111. This reduces the risk of short circuits, prevents insect fluids from reducing the insulation performance of the circuit board, protects the performance of components inside the electrical control box 1, prevents component failure, and significantly reduces the risk of fire and electric shock, thereby improving the overall reliability, stability, and safety of the electrical control box assembly 10.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 As shown, the inner wall of the first outlet 111 has a fixed edge 15 that folds outward toward the box body 12. The first insect-proof brush 21 is fixed to the fixed edge 15. The first insect-proof brush 21 is detachably connected to the fixed edge 15, so that the first insect-proof brush 21 can be set opposite to the first outlet 111, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the first insect-proof brush 21 and the box body 12, ensuring the effective sealing of the first outlet 111 by the first insect-proof brush 21, and ensuring the reliability of the insect-proofing of the first insect-proof brush 21.

[0069] It should be noted that, as Figure 13 and attached Figure 14 As shown, the fixed edge 15 acts as a water trap, causing the motor wire 101 to bend at this point. On the one hand, it can fix and constrain the motor wire 101, reducing the possibility of the motor wire 101 shaking or coming off. On the other hand, it can prevent water on the motor wire 101 from entering the electrical control box 1, preventing safety hazards such as short circuits in the electrical control box assembly 10. At the same time, the fixed edge 15 can also block water to a certain extent, preventing water leakage from the drip tray, condensate, water poured by the user, etc., from entering the electrical control box 1, further preventing short circuits in the electrical control box assembly 10, ensuring the safety of the electrical control box assembly 10, and extending the service life of the electrical control box assembly 10.

[0070] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 6 Appendix Figure 17 and attached Figure 18As shown, the box 12 includes a body 122 and a PCB bracket 123. The body 122 defines an opening 121. The peripheral wall of the body 122 has a clearance opening 124, which is located at the end of the body 122 facing the first cover 13. The PCB bracket 123 is disposed inside the body 122. The first cable outlet 111 is disposed on the peripheral wall of the PCB bracket 123 and opposite to the clearance opening 124. The fixing edge 15 extends out of the body 122 from the clearance opening 124. It should be noted that the PCB bracket 123 can be used to install the circuit board, preventing the circuit board from being deformed or damaged due to vibration, impact or external force, so that the circuit board is accurately fixed in the designated position inside the control box 1, avoiding interference with other components inside the control box 1. In addition, the body 122 is a metal part and the PCB bracket 123 is a plastic part. The setting of the PCB bracket 123 can isolate the circuit board from the body 122, avoiding the risk of short circuit or leakage due to poor insulation.

[0071] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 6 Appendix Figure 15 and attached Figure 16 As shown, the first insect-proof brush 21 includes a first fixing part 211 and a first bristle 212. The first fixing part 211 is detachably connected to the fixing edge 15, and the first fixing part 211 is located on the side of the fixing edge 15 facing the first cover 13, which facilitates the installation and removal of the first fixing part 211. The first bristle 212 is located on the side of the first fixing part 211 facing the first outlet 111 and extends towards the first outlet 111, so that the first bristle 212 fills the gap at the first outlet 111, reduces the area of ​​the gap at the first outlet 111, and reduces the probability of insects and other debris entering the electrical control box 1 through the first outlet 111. It should be noted that when the first cover 13 is assembled onto the box body 12, the first cover 13 can press down the end of the first bristle 212 that is away from the first fixing part 211, further improving the filling effect of the first insect-proof brush 21 on the first outlet 111.

[0072] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 9 Appendix Figure 10 and attached Figure 14As shown, a wire buckle 113 is provided on the inner wall of the first outlet 111. Along the circumferential direction of the box body 12, the free end of the wire buckle 113 extends in a direction away from the first cover 13. On the one hand, the wire buckle 113 can guide the motor wire 101, so that the motor wire 101 moves along the extension direction of the wire buckle 113 and is inserted into the first outlet 111 through the gap between the free end of the wire buckle 113 and the inner wall of the first outlet 111, thereby facilitating the insertion of the motor wire 101 into the first outlet 111. The first outlet 111 is inside the motor wire 101. On the other hand, the wire buckle 113 can also restrain the motor wire 101 inserted into the first outlet 111, preventing the assembled motor wire 101 from easily coming out of the first outlet 111. When the number of motor wires 101 is relatively small, it can reduce the shaking amplitude of the motor wire 101. At the same time, the wire buckle 113 can also play a role in preventing insects to a certain extent, preventing insects and other debris from entering the electrical control box 1 through the first outlet 111.

[0073] Further, see attached document. Figure 10 As shown, at least a portion of the first bristle 212 is located on the side of the wire buckle 113 facing the first cover 13, so that the first bristle 212 can fill the space on the side of the wire buckle 113 facing the first cover 13, further preventing the assembled motor wire 101 from coming out of the first outlet 111, and preventing insects and other debris from entering the electrical control box 1 through the first outlet 111.

[0074] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 As shown, in the direction from the outside to the inside of the box 12, the free end of the first bristle 212 extends toward the gap between the free end of the wire buckle 113 and the inner wall of the first outlet 111. This allows the first bristle 212 to primarily prevent the assembled motor wire 101 from coming out of the gap between the free end of the wire buckle 113 and the inner wall of the first outlet 111. This further improves the insect-blocking effect of the first insect-proof brush 21 on insects, reduces the risk of short circuits, prevents insect body fluids from reducing the insulation performance of the circuit board, protects the performance of components in the electrical control box 1, prevents component failure, greatly reduces the risk of fire and electric shock, reduces safety hazards, and improves the overall reliability, stability, and safety of the electrical control box assembly 10.

[0075] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 11 Appendix Figure 12 Appendix Figure 13 and attached Figure 14 As shown, the fixed edge 15 includes a first edge 151 and a second edge 152. The first edge 151 is disposed on the inner wall of the first outlet 111 and along the axial direction of the first outlet 111 (see attached figure). Figure 14Extending in the direction shown (b), the second side 152 is connected to the end of the first side 151 that is away from the first outlet 111. Along the axial direction of the first outlet 111, the second side 152 is arranged opposite to the first outlet 111. The first insect-proof brush 21 is simultaneously locked on the first side 151 and the second side 152, which can improve the reliability of the first insect-proof brush 21 being locked with the fixed side 15, prevent the first insect-proof brush 21 from easily coming off the fixed side 15, and ensure the reliability and stability of the electrical control box assembly 10.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple first outlet ports 111, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the box body 12. There are multiple first insect-proof brushes 21 that correspond one-to-one with the multiple first outlet ports 111. The arrangement of multiple first outlet ports 111 facilitates the motor wires 101 of multiple components inside the air conditioner 100 to extend into the electrical control box 1, ensuring that the terminal block inside the electrical control box 1 can be connected to multiple components inside the air conditioner 100 at the same time.

[0077] For example, the first cable outlet 111 can be two, three, or four spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the housing 12, and the first insect-proof brush 21 can be two, three, or four corresponding to the plurality of first cable outlets 111. In a specific example, refer to the appendix. Figure 5 As shown, there are three first cable outlets 111, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the housing 12. Three first insect-proof brushes 21 correspond one-to-one with the three first cable outlets 111. Two of the three first cable outlets 111 are located in the width direction of the PCB bracket 123 (see attached diagram). Figure 5 On one side of the left and right direction shown, another of the three first outlets 111 is located on the other side of the width direction of the PCB bracket 123. The first insect-proof brush 21 located on different sides of the width direction of the PCB bracket 123 is symmetrically designed along the center line of the width direction of the PCB bracket 123.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 17 and attached Figure 18 As shown, in conjunction with the reference appendix Figure 19 Appendix Figure 20 Appendix Figure 21 and attached Figure 22 The outlet 11 also includes a second outlet 112, the insect-proof brush 2 also includes a second insect-proof brush 22, the control box 1 also includes a second cover 14, the second cover 14 is disposed on the side of the box 12 away from the first cover 13, the second outlet 112 is disposed on the peripheral wall of the second cover 14 and located at the end of the second cover 14 facing the box 12, and the second insect-proof brush 22 is disposed at the second outlet 112.

[0079] Understandably, in the prior art, after the back cover is assembled onto the electrical control box body, the wiring position at the junction of the electrical control box body and the back cover is low, resulting in a large gap at the wire outlet, which makes it easy for insects to enter. However, this utility model provides a second insect-proof brush 22 at the second wire outlet 112 where the box body 12 and the second cover 14 meet. The second insect-proof brush 22 is located between the second cover 14 and the box body 12, which can fill the gap left after the motor wire 101 is inserted into the second wire outlet 112, reduce the gap area at the second wire outlet 112, and prevent insects from entering the electrical control box 1 through the second wire outlet 112. This can reduce the risk of short circuits, prevent insect body fluids from reducing the insulation performance of the circuit board, protect the performance of the components in the electrical control box 1, prevent component failure, and greatly reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, reduce safety hazards, and improve the overall reliability, stability and safety of the electrical control box assembly 10.

[0080] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 23 Appendix Figure 24 , 25 and attached Figure 26 As shown, the second insect-proof brush 22 includes a second fixing part 221 and a second bristle 222. The second fixing part 221 is engaged above the inner wall of the second outlet 112 and extends along the inner wall of the second outlet 112. The second bristle 222 is disposed on the side of the second fixing part 221 away from the inner wall of the second outlet 112 and extends toward the box body 12. This allows the second bristle 222 to fill the gap at the second outlet 112, reduce the area of ​​the gap at the second outlet 112, and reduce the probability of insects and other debris entering the electrical control box 1 through the second outlet 112.

[0081] It should be noted that since the inner wall of the second outlet 112 does not have a wire buckle 113, the possibility of insects entering through the second outlet 112 is relatively greater, and the possibility of the motor wire 101 swaying inside the second outlet 112 is also relatively greater. Therefore, by filling the second outlet 112 as much as possible with the second bristles 222, the swaying phenomenon of the motor wire 101 inside the second outlet 112 can be reduced, further reducing the probability of insects entering.

[0082] Preferably, such as Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the second outlet 112 has a flange 114, which is formed by folding the inner wall of the second outlet 112. The flange 114 is generally perpendicular to the axial direction of the second outlet 112 (see attached figure). Figure 24Extending in the direction of c (as shown), the second outlet 112 is made more rounded, preventing the second outlet 112 from being too sharp and affecting the safety of the motor wire 101 passing through this point. The side of the second fixing part 221 opposite to the second bristles 222 has a groove 223, which is used to cooperate with the flange 114, so that the entire second insect-proof brush 22 is locked on the flange 114.

[0083] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the insect-proof brush 2 is a soft rubber part. The soft rubber part has the characteristics of good elasticity, good flexibility, good insulation, weather resistance and chemical resistance stability, which can improve the reliability, stability and safety of the insect-proof brush 2.
