Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing cover technology, specifically to a rodent-proof sealing plate and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] With rapid economic development, air conditioners have become commonplace in households. In humid and hot regions, wall-mounted air conditioners are typically designed with rodent-proof sealing plates to prevent rodents and other animals from entering the air conditioner and damaging the internal wiring, thus protecting the internal circuitry. Current technology uses a knockout design where a plastic sheet is fixed to the wiring hole. When the wiring hole is needed, the plastic sheet is bent out of the knockout hole to allow the wiring to pass through. However, this method of bending the plastic sheet leaves residue at the edge of the wiring hole, affecting aesthetics, and some sharp parts may also scratch the power cord and connecting wires, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] The problem solved by this invention is that after the wire passes through the hole where the plastic sheet of the existing rodent-proof plate breaks, there are sharp parts left at the edge of the wire hole that can damage the air conditioner's wiring.
[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a rodent-proof sealing plate, which is installed on an air conditioner and includes: a baffle body, a first wire passage hole, and a first baffle plate; the first wire passage hole is provided on the baffle body and is used for the passage of wires; the first wire passage hole is provided with a plurality of bendable first baffle plates, which are connected to the baffle body, and after the wire passes through the first wire passage hole, the plurality of first baffle plates are used to fix the wire.
[0005] The technical effects achieved by adopting this solution are as follows: In the prior art, the rodent-proof plate is fixed to the wire hole with a plastic sheet. When the wire hole is needed, the plastic sheet is broken off and the wire can pass through. However, some sharp parts remain on the edge of the wire hole, which poses a risk of scratching the air conditioner wire. This solution uses a flexible baffle instead of a plastic sheet and fixes the wire with multiple baffles, restricting the position of the wire in the first wire hole. There is no need to knock the hole out, eliminating the risk of sharp residue.
[0006] Furthermore, the first baffle includes: a first connecting portion, the first connecting portion being connected to the baffle body; the first connecting portion includes a first folding portion, the first folding portion being disposed on one side of the first connecting portion, facilitating the wire to pass through the first wire hole.
[0007] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The single-sided design of the first folding part, combined with the first connecting part, makes the first folding part the folding point of the first connecting part, so that when the wire is inserted, it naturally fits the bending direction of the baffle, avoids wire twisting, ensures smooth wire passage, and at the same time, after the baffle is reset, it tightly wraps the wire, enhancing the sealing performance.
[0008] Furthermore, the first baffle also includes a lever, which is disposed in the first wire passage hole and connected to the first connecting part; when the wire needs to pass through the first wire passage hole, the wire passes through the first wire passage hole along the folding direction of the first folding part.
[0009] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the lever forms a physical limit in the first wire hole, constraining the lateral displacement of the power line, preventing the baffle body from deforming due to the line sagging under gravity or external force, and reducing the friction between the line and the hole wall, thus reducing the risk of wear.
[0010] Furthermore, the baffle body also includes a second wire passage hole, which forms a notch with the baffle body and the notch communicates with the second wire passage hole for the wire to pass through the second wire passage hole.
[0011] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the connection design between the notch and the second wire hole simplifies the wire insertion path, improves installation efficiency, and prevents the wire from becoming loose due to external force.
[0012] Furthermore, the second wire passage hole includes a second baffle plate, which is connected to the baffle body and is used to limit the wire passing through the second wire passage hole.
[0013] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the second baffle directly abuts against the surface of the line, increasing the contact area, improving the stability of the fixation, preventing the line from shifting during vibration or pulling, and ensuring the long-term reliability of the sealing baffle body.
[0014] Furthermore, the second baffle includes a second folding portion, which is disposed on one side of the second baffle to facilitate the wire passing through the second wire hole along the bending direction of the second folding portion.
[0015] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The single-sided bending design of the second folding part provides a clear line guidance path, and the second folding part becomes the folding point of the second baffle, allowing installers to operate in the "forward" direction and reducing the probability of incorrect installation; the bending direction is consistent with the line direction, reducing installation resistance and further improving efficiency.
[0016] Furthermore, the baffle body also includes: an elastic buckle, which is connected to the edge of the baffle body to form an inclined guide surface; wherein, the elastic buckle is provided in the notch, for the wire to enter the second wire hole through the guide surface and engage with the second baffle.
[0017] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the inclined guide surface guides the line to slide into the second wire hole at a preset angle, and the gradually narrowing gap design forms a "funnel effect", which accurately aligns the line entrance, reduces installation deviation, and improves operational consistency.
[0018] Furthermore, the elastic clip includes a blocking wall disposed at the end of the elastic clip to prevent the wire from exiting the second wire passage hole in the reverse direction.
[0019] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the blocking wall and the end of the elastic buckle form a mechanical locking structure, which generates a rigid blocking force when the wired controller is pulled out in the opposite direction, completely preventing the wired controller from accidentally coming out, ensuring the absolute reliability of the wire fixation, and reducing the frequency of after-sales maintenance.
[0020] Furthermore, the first wire hole is used for power connection wires and / or power limiting power wires; and / or, the second wire hole is used for power wires and / or wired controllers.
[0021] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the first and second cable holes can be adapted to different lines, meet the needs of multi-line scenarios, and improve versatility.
[0022] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an air conditioner, including the rodent-proof sealing plate provided by any of the above technical solutions. The air conditioner further includes: a housing, a wiring area, and a limiting member; the housing has an inner cavity for accommodating the wired controller and the rodent-proof sealing plate; the wiring area is located on the side of the housing for accommodating wiring; the limiting member is disposed on the housing and is fixedly connected to the rodent-proof sealing plate by fasteners; wherein, the rodent-proof sealing plate covers the wiring area.
[0023] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The rodent-proof sealing plate is integrated into the air conditioner housing, covering the core cable outlet in the wiring area, blocking the intrusion path of insects and rodents from the overall structure, and improving the protection level of the whole machine; The rodent-proof sealing plate is fixed to the housing by fasteners, ensuring that the baffle body is installed firmly, and the fastener fixing method is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.
[0024] In summary, the various technical solutions described above in this application can have one or more of the following advantages or beneficial effects: i) By replacing the traditional knock-out hole structure with bendable baffles (such as the first baffle and the second baffle) and elastic clips, there is no need to knock off or bend plastic parts during installation, reducing operation steps and lowering labor costs. ii) The folding part guide design (such as the first folding part and the second folding part) clearly defines the direction of wire insertion, avoiding the risk of incorrect installation and significantly improving installation efficiency. iii) The blocking wall and elastic clip locking design prevent the wire from coming out in the opposite direction, ensuring that the wire is firmly fixed and reducing the risk of wire loosening due to vibration or external force. iv) The multi-wire hole design adapts to different wires inside the air conditioner, meeting the needs of multiple scenarios and reducing material and management costs. v) The rodent-proof sealing plate is fixed to the air conditioner housing with screws, ensuring the baffle body is installed firmly and facilitating disassembly and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation
[0033] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rodent-proof sealing plate, which allows the air conditioner wiring to pass through the rodent-proof plate and fix the wiring, thus avoiding the risk of the wiring being scratched.
[0034] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a rodent-proof sealing plate, which is installed in an air conditioner and includes: a baffle body 1, a first wire passage hole 11, and a first baffle plate 14; the first wire passage hole 11 is provided on the baffle body 1 and is used for wires to pass through; the first wire passage hole 11 is provided with a plurality of bendable first baffle plates 14, which are connected to the baffle body 1. After the wire passes through the first wire passage hole 11, the plurality of first baffle plates 14 are used to fix the wire.
[0036] Specifically, the first wire guide hole 11 is an elliptical wire guide hole, and inside it are two opposing first baffles 14, which are bendable. See also Figure 5 The power wire passes through the baffle body 1 in the direction from C to D. The two opposing first baffles 14 are folded over, the power supply wire passes through, and the two opposing first baffles 14 are reset to fix the line.
[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first baffle 14 includes: a first connecting part 141, which is connected to the baffle body 1; the first connecting part 141 includes a first folding part 142, which is disposed on one side of the first connecting part 141 to facilitate the wire passing through the first wire hole 11.
[0038] The first baffle 14 also includes a lever 162, which is disposed in the first wire passage hole 11 and connected to the first connecting part 141. When the wire needs to pass through the first wire passage hole 11, the wire passes through the first wire passage hole 11 along the folding direction of the first folding part 142.
[0039] Specifically, the first baffle 14 includes a first connecting portion 141 and a lever 162. The first connecting portion 141 is injection molded to the baffle body 1 at the edge of the first wire hole 11, and the lever 162 is connected to the other side of the first connecting portion 141. The thinner middle part on one side of the first connecting portion 141 is the first folding portion 142. When the wire passes through the first wire hole 11, the first baffle 14 bends, with the first folding portion serving as the bending point. The power connection wire passes through the first baffle 14 in the bending direction, and the first baffle 14 returns to its original position to fix the wire.
[0040] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The baffle body 1 also includes a second wire passage hole 15, which forms a notch 12 with the baffle body 1. The notch 12 communicates with the second wire passage hole 15 for the wire to pass through the second wire passage hole 15.

A second folding part 161 is provided in the middle of the second baffle 16. The second folding part 161 is provided on one side of the second baffle 16 to determine the bending direction of the second baffle 16.
[0045] Furthermore, the second folding part 161 is the thinnest part of the second baffle 16, with a thickness of 0.6mm, and serves as a bending point when the wire passes through.

[0047] Specifically, the edge of the baffle body 1 is provided with two opposing elastic buckles 13. The elastic buckles 13 and the edge of the baffle body 1 form an inclined guide surface 131. The width of the notch 12 gradually decreases from the edge of the baffle body 1 to the second wire hole 15. The wire slides in along the guide surface 131 and enters the second wire hole 15.
[0048] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The elastic buckle 13 includes a blocking wall 132, which is disposed at the end of the elastic buckle 13 to prevent the wire from exiting the second wire hole 15 in the reverse direction.
[0049] Specifically, the blocking wall 132 protrudes from the end of the elastic buckle 13. After the wire controller wire slides into the second wire hole 15, the blocking wall 132 clamps the surface of the wire controller wire, generating mechanical resistance to prevent accidental dislodgement.
