Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to an electric cover and housing assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The electrical cover, also known as a wiring cover, is typically detachably installed on the side panel of the outdoor unit's casing. When the electrical cover is fastened to the side panel, it protects the wiring terminal blocks of the outdoor unit from exposure and potential damage. After removing the electrical cover, wiring and maintenance operations can be performed.

[0003] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the existing terminal wiring cover 11 includes a housing 111 and a sealing plate 112. The housing 111 has an installation port 111c and a first waterproof structure. The installation port 111c penetrates the opposite outer and inner surfaces of the housing 111. The sealing plate 112 has a wire-passing hole 112a and a second waterproof structure. The sealing plate 112 is detachably installed on the installation port 111c. The first waterproof structure and the second waterproof structure cooperate. A portion of the inner surface of the housing 111 is recessed to one side of the outer surface to form a cavity. A corresponding protrusion is also formed on the outer surface. The installation port 111c is set on the protrusion. The opening direction of the installation port 111c forms a certain angle with the inner surface. Since the terminal wiring cover 11 is installed on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, one side of the inner surface of the terminal wiring cover 11 is vertically installed on the side of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. This allows rainwater falling vertically to enter the installation port 111c. Therefore, a protrusion 111a is provided on the protrusion. The protrusion 111a serves to block water from the installation port 111c.

[0004] The presence of the protrusion 111a makes the shape of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner look awkward and not smooth and harmonious, affecting the overall aesthetics of the product. On the other hand, it can easily cause the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to be scratched or squeezed during the clamping and transportation process, resulting in damage to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner during the turnover process. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problem that existing electric covers easily damage outdoor air conditioning units during transport, this utility model provides an electric cover and housing assembly that achieves water blocking without the need for protrusions, while also being simple and compact in structure, thus reducing the likelihood of damage to the outdoor air conditioning unit during handling.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] The cover includes a cover plate and a handle and a cable outlet on the cover plate. The cover plate has opposing inner and outer surfaces. A portion of the inner surface is recessed to one side of the outer surface to form a cavity, and a corresponding protrusion is formed on the outer surface. The cable outlet is located on the protruding side, passes through the protruding side, and communicates with the cavity. The protruding side is perpendicular to the non-protruding outer surface of the cover plate. The top surface of the distal extension of the protrusion is parallel to the non-recessed inner surface of the cover plate, and the central axis of the cable outlet is parallel to the non-recessed inner surface of the cover plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the handle has a groove on the side where the cable outlet is located.

[0009] Furthermore, the groove extends through the side of the protrusion and connects with the cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, an exhaust grille is installed inside the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a first reinforcing rib is provided on the inner surface of the recessed cover plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the first reinforcing ribs are arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner surface of the non-recessed cover plate has a retaining frame extending away from the inner surface, the retaining frame surrounding the recessed area.

[0014] Furthermore, a second reinforcing rib is provided between the inner wall and the inner surface of the card frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer wall of the card frame opposite the outlet is provided with multiple card protrusions, which extend perpendicularly to the outer wall.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner surface of the non-recessed cover plate is provided with a boss, which is on the same side as the cable outlet, and the boss has a threaded hole that penetrates the inner and outer surfaces of the cover plate.

[0017] This utility model also provides a housing assembly, including an outer shell and an electrical cover from the previous embodiment. The outer shell has a receiving cavity and a wiring port communicating with the receiving cavity. The electrical cover is detachably disposed on the outside of the wiring port. The outer shell has a mounting groove corresponding to the boss. A threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove. The wiring port fully accommodates the retaining frame. The retaining frame abuts against the outer shell. The boss is placed in the mounting groove and is fixedly connected by screws passing through the threaded holes of the boss and the threaded holes of the mounting groove.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This design eliminates the protrusions found in traditional designs, resulting in a smoother outer surface of the Denso cover that blends more harmoniously with the overall appearance of the outdoor air conditioning unit, enhancing the product's aesthetics. Furthermore, this simple and compact design reduces protruding parts of the Denso cover, lowering the risk of scratches and pressure, and also reduces production costs.

[0020] Integrating the handle and cable outlet on the same side of the cover simplifies the structure and helps reduce potential points of damage. The cable outlet is designed to pass through the raised side and connect to the recessed cavity, satisfying the need for cable passage while maintaining a smooth appearance. Using a recessed handle saves space, increases user comfort, facilitates transport, and also provides drainage and ventilation.

[0021] Enhanced structural design: Reinforcing ribs are provided in the recessed area and inside the frame, especially the first reinforcing rib, which is arranged in a crisscross pattern, significantly enhancing the structural strength of the cover plate and ensuring that it is not easily deformed or damaged during handling and use, thus improving durability.

[0022] Clip frame and clip protrusion design: The introduction of the clip frame not only provides a stable installation mechanism for the Denso cover, but also the multiple clip protrusions on the outer wall of the clip frame opposite the cable outlet can abut against the outer shell. Combined with other fixing structures, this enhances the stability of the installation, prevents the cover from falling off during transportation, and also improves the ease of installation and is used for positioning during installation.

[0023] Boss and threaded hole: The boss is designed with a threaded hole, which matches the mounting groove and threaded hole on the housing. The boss and mounting groove are precisely matched and fixed with screws to ensure a reliable connection between the electric cover and the air conditioner outdoor unit housing, simplifying the installation process and improving the overall stability.

[0037] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the electric cover includes a cover plate 1 and a handle and a cable outlet 2 disposed on the cover plate 1. The cover plate 1 has opposing inner and outer surfaces. A portion of the inner surface is recessed to one side of the outer surface to form a cavity, and a corresponding protrusion is formed on the outer surface. The cable outlet 2 is disposed on the protruding side, and the cable outlet 2 penetrates the protruding side and communicates with the cavity. The protruding side is perpendicular to the non-protruding outer surface of the cover plate 1. The top surface of the distal extension of the protrusion is parallel to the non-recessed inner surface of the cover plate 1. The central axis of the cable outlet 2 is parallel to the non-recessed inner surface of the cover plate 1.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the handle is a groove 3 provided on the side of the cable outlet 2 on the protrusion. In the aforementioned embodiments, the handle can be provided on the top surface of the extended distal end of the protrusion, or on the side of the cable outlet 2 on the protrusion, or at other positions on the cover plate 1, without particular limitation, as long as it provides the operator with a point of force application. In this embodiment, it is preferably provided on the side of the cable outlet 2 on the protrusion. This not only makes the top surface of the protrusion flatter and more aesthetically pleasing due to the position of the handle, but also makes it more suitable for the operator to apply force when located on the side.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the groove 3 penetrates the protruding side and communicates with the concave cavity. In the aforementioned embodiments, the groove 3 does not necessarily need to penetrate the protruding side and communicate with the concave cavity; it is sufficient to provide the groove 3 as a handle. Alternatively, the groove 3 can penetrate the protruding side and communicate with the concave cavity, in which case it has the functions of drainage, ventilation, and heat dissipation. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the groove 3 penetrates the protruding side and communicates with the concave cavity.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, an exhaust grille 4 is provided in the groove 3. The exhaust grille 4 has the functions of drainage, ventilation and heat dissipation, and can also be used to prevent small animals from climbing into the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner surface of the recessed cover plate 1 is provided with first reinforcing ribs 5. Preferably, the first reinforcing ribs 5 are arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner surface of the non-recessed cover plate 1 has a retaining frame 6 extending toward the side away from the inner surface, the retaining frame 6 surrounding the recessed area.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a second reinforcing rib 7 is provided between the inner sidewall and the inner surface of the card frame 6.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the card frame 6 opposite to the outlet 2 is provided with a plurality of card protrusions 8, which extend perpendicularly to the outer wall.

[0045] The introduction of the clip frame 6 not only provides a stable installation mechanism for the Denso cover, but also the multiple clip protrusions 8 on the outer side wall of the clip frame 6 opposite to the cable outlet 2 can abut against the outer shell 10. With the addition of other fixing structures, the installation is more secure, preventing the cover 1 from falling off during transportation. At the same time, it also improves the ease of installation and is used for positioning during installation.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a boss 9 is provided on the inner surface of the non-recessed cover plate 1. The boss 9 is on the same side as the cable outlet 2. The boss 9 has a threaded hole that penetrates the inner and outer surfaces of the cover plate 1.

[0047] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, this utility model also provides a housing assembly, including a housing 10 and an electrical cover from the previous embodiment. The housing 10 has a receiving cavity and a wiring port communicating with the receiving cavity. The electrical cover is detachably mounted on the outside of the wiring port. The housing 10 has a mounting groove 101 corresponding to the boss 9. A threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 101. The wiring port fully accommodates the retaining frame 6. The retaining protrusion 8 abuts against the housing 10. The boss 9 is placed in the mounting groove 101 and is fixedly connected by screws passing through the threaded holes of the boss 9 and the mounting groove 101. Since this housing assembly adopts all the technical solutions of the previous embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the previous embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
