Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0034] The electrical control box provided in the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it includes: an electrical appliance mounting cover 100; and a box base 200. The box base 200 includes a main body 210 and a first guide member 220. The side of the main body 210 has a mounting area 211. The first guide member 220 protrudes from the side of the main body 210. The side of the first guide member 220 includes a first guide surface 221 erected relative to the side of the main body 210 and a second guide surface 222 erected relative to the side of the main body 210. The included angle between the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 matches the side wall corner 120 of the electrical appliance mounting cover 100. The first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 are configured to guide the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 into place in the mounting area 211 by corresponding and cooperating with the two sides of the side wall corner 120 of the electrical appliance mounting cover 100.

[0035] During the assembly of the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 and the box base 200, the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 serve as positioning references and guiding structures for the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 to be installed on the box base 200. By having the two outer or two inner sides of the side wall corner 120 of the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 abut against the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 in a one-to-one correspondence, the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 can move along the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 toward the installation area 211 and be installed on the installation area 211, thus completing the direct installation of the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 in the installation area 211. This makes the assembly efficiency of the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 and the box base 200 higher. Figure 1 In the middle, a control panel 300 is installed on the side of the main body 210.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the first guide member 220 is located outside the mounting area 211, and the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 both face the mounting area 211. In this way, the two outer surfaces of the side wall corner 120 of the electrical mounting cover 100 correspond to and abut against the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222. The angle between the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 gradually decreases from the end away from the main body 210 to the end near the main body 210. This makes it easier and faster for the side wall corner 120 of the electrical mounting cover 100 to be placed in the end away from the main body 210 of the angle between the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222. Guided by the two outer surfaces of the side wall corner 120 of the electrical mounting cover 100 by the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222, the electrical mounting cover 100 moves toward the main body 210. As the electrical mounting cover 100 moves toward the main body 210, the fitting gap between the side wall corner 120 of the electrical mounting cover 100 and the end near the main body 210 of the angle between the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 gradually decreases and the fitting accuracy gradually increases. The electrical mounting cover 100 will be directly installed in the mounting area 211. This solution can further improve the assembly efficiency of the electrical mounting cover 100 and the box base 200.

[0037] Alternatively, the first guide member 220 can be located in the installation area 211, and the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222 can both face away from the installation area 211. In this way, the two inner sides of the side wall corner 120 of the electrical mounting cover 100 correspond one-to-one with the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222, which can also achieve the purpose of this application. Its purpose has not deviated from the design concept of this utility model, and will not be elaborated here. It should also fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0038] The first guide member 220 can be an integral structure and a folded plate, with the concave side of the folded plate facing the mounting area 211, and the two sides of the concave side of the folded plate being the first guide surface 221 and the second guide surface 222; or the first guide member 220 can be a split structure and two spaced straight plates, with the first guide surface 221 being the side of one straight plate and the second guide surface 222 being the side of the other straight plate, etc.; all of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not departed from the design concept of this utility model, and will not be elaborated here, and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the first guide member 220 includes two parts: a first guide surface 221 and a second guide surface 222, comprising two sets. The two second guide surfaces 222 are located on opposite sides of the mounting area 211, while the two first guide surfaces 221 are located on the same side of the two second guide surfaces 222 and between them. In this configuration, the two sets of first guide surfaces 221 and second guide surfaces 222 correspond one-to-one with adjacent corners of the electrical mounting cover 100.

[0040] Alternatively, the first guide member 220 can include three parts, namely, three sets of first guide surfaces 221 and second guide surfaces 222, with each set corresponding to one of the three corners of the electrical mounting cover 100. Alternatively, the first guide member 220 can include four parts, namely, four sets of first guide surfaces 221 and second guide surfaces 222, with each set corresponding to one of the four corners of the electrical mounting cover 100. All of these can achieve the purpose of this application, and their intent does not depart from the design concept of this utility model. They will not be elaborated further here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0041] In some examples, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the box base 200 also includes a second guide member 230, which protrudes from the side of the main body and is configured to cooperate with the side wall of the electrical mounting cover 100 to guide the electrical mounting cover 100 into place in the mounting area 211. This solution uses the first guide member 220 and the second guide member 230 to jointly guide the electrical mounting cover 100 into place in the mounting area 211, thus further improving the assembly efficiency of the electrical mounting cover 100 and the box base 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the second guide member 230 is a guide rib erected on the side of the main body 100. The guide rib is located outside the mounting area 211, and the end of the guide rib facing the mounting area 211 away from the main body 210 is the guide surface 231. The end of the side wall of the electrical mounting cover 100 near the main body 210 abuts against the guide surface 231. The guide surface 231 guides the side wall of the electrical mounting cover 100 to move along the side of the guide rib toward the main body 210, so that the mounting cover 100 is installed in the mounting area 211. At this time, the second guide member 230 is located outside the electrical mounting cover 100, and the outer side of the side wall of the electrical mounting cover 100 abuts against the side of the guide rib facing the mounting area 211.

[0043] The guide surface 231 can be a guide slope; or it can be a guide curved surface, etc.; all of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not deviated from the design concept of this utility model. They will not be elaborated here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0044] Alternatively, the second guide member 230 can be a guide rib erected on the side of the main body 100, located in the mounting area 211, with the end of the guide rib facing away from the mounting area 211 and away from the main body 210 serving as the guide surface 231. When the mounting cover 100 is installed in the mounting area 211, the second guide member 230 is located inside the electrical mounting cover 100, and the inner side of the side wall of the electrical mounting cover 100 abuts against the side of the guide rib facing away from the mounting area 211.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main body 210 and the first guide member 220 are integrated into one structure, which makes the manufacturing process of the box base 200 simpler and the production efficiency higher.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 is provided with a connecting mating part 110, and the main body 210 is provided with a connecting part 212. Since the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 is installed in the mounting area 211, the connecting mating part 110 and the connecting part 212 are directly opposite each other. Therefore, this solution can achieve quick connection between the connecting mating part 110 and the connecting part 212.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, one of the connecting part 212 and the connecting mating part 110 includes a snap fastener and the other includes a snap-fit ​​position. The snap fastener and the snap-fit ​​position are connected by snap-fit. This solution has a simple structure and mature technology.

[0048] In one embodiment, the fastener is located on the outer side of the side wall of the electrical appliance mounting cover 100, and the buckle protrudes from the side of the main body 210 and is located outside the mounting area 211. When the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 is installed in the mounting area 211, the buckle is aligned with the fastener and is locked on the fastener (i.e., the buckle is locked on the side wall of the electrical appliance mounting cover 100), thereby fixing the electrical appliance mounting cover 100 to the box base 200.

[0049] It can be that the latches and clips consist of one set; or it can be that the latches and clips consist of two sets located on both sides of the electrical mounting cover 100; or it can be that the latches and clips consist of three sets located on both sides of the electrical mounting cover 100; or it can be, as... Figure 9As shown, the fasteners and latches include four sets located on both sides of the electrical mounting cover 100; all of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not deviated from the design concept of this utility model, so they will not be repeated here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0050] In other embodiments, one of the connecting part 212 and the connecting mating part 110 includes a first screw hole and the other includes a second screw hole (not shown in the figure). The first screw hole and the second screw hole are connected by a screw (not shown in the figure). This solution has a simple structure and mature technology.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first screw hole is located on the electrical mounting cover 100 and is a through hole, and the second screw hole is located in the mounting area 211 and is a screw hole. The screw passes through the through hole and is screwed into the screw hole, thereby fixing the electrical mounting cover 100 to the box base 200.

[0052] The first and second screw holes may be a set; or the first and second screw holes may be two sets arranged separately; or the first and second screw holes may be three sets arranged separately; or the first and second screw holes may be four sets arranged separately, etc. All of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not departed from the design concept of this utility model. They will not be elaborated here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

The motor bracket 500 and the middle partition 600 are spaced apart in the left and right directions and are both erected and fixed on the chassis 400.

[0056] Among them, such as Figures 10 to 13As shown, the upper part of the motor bracket 500 is provided with a first insertion hole 510 and a third screw hole 520. The upper part of the partition plate 600 is provided with a receiving notch 610, a second insertion hole 620, a fourth screw hole 630, and a limiting plate 640. The upper part of the receiving notch 610 is through. The second insertion hole 620 and the third screw hole 520 are located behind the receiving notch 610, and the limiting plate 640 is located in front of the receiving notch 610. The main body 210 is provided with a first insertion rib 213, a fifth screw hole 214, a second insertion rib 215, a sixth screw hole 216, and a mating plate 217. The electrical control box is placed at the receiving notch 610 (at this time, the box electrical installation cover 100 is located below the box base 200). The first insertion rib 213 is inserted downwards into the first screw hole 520. In the first insertion hole 510, the second insertion rod 215 is inserted downward into the second insertion hole 620. The mating plate 217 is inserted downward to the front side of the limiting plate 640 and then pressed against the limiting plate 640, so as to pre-position the electrical control box on the motor bracket 500 and the middle partition plate 600.
