[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This application provides a housing assembly 100, including a housing 20 and a main control box 30. The housing 20 is provided with a mounting hole 251. The main control box 30 includes a box body 31, a frame 50, and a clamping part 34. The box body 31 has a bottom and an opening that are disposed opposite to each other. The frame 50 and the clamping part 34 are both disposed on the periphery of the box body 31 and are both connected to the box body 31. In the direction from the bottom of the box to the opening, the frame 50 and the clamping part 34 are arranged alternately. The box body 31 passes through the mounting hole 251 and a part of the box body 31 is located inside the housing 20. The area of the housing 20 located on the periphery of the mounting hole 251 is clamped between the clamping part 34 and the frame 50.
[0039] The enclosure assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment provides a frame 50 and a clamping part 34 around the enclosure 31 of the main control box 30. Since the frame 50 and the clamping part 34 are arranged at intervals from the bottom of the box to the opening, the area of the enclosure 20 located around the mounting hole 251 can be clamped between the clamping part 34 and the frame 50, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the main control box 30 and the enclosure 20. This fixing method can reduce or avoid the use of screws, making the assembly process of the main control box 30 and the enclosure 20 simpler, reducing working time, and improving production efficiency.
[0040] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The number of clamping parts 34 is multiple, and the multiple clamping parts 34 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the box body 31 and are all connected to the box body 31.
[0041] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more.
[0042] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the main control box 30 includes two clamping parts 34 spaced apart.
[0043] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The frame 50 has a cutout portion 321 at the position corresponding to the clamping portion 34.
[0044] It is understandable that by providing a cutout 321 on the frame 50 corresponding to the clamping part 34, the cutout 321 can accommodate uneven positions (such as protrusions) on the frame 20 or bending deformations that may occur on the frame 20 when assembling the housing 20 and the main control box 30. This makes it easier for the housing 20 to be clamped between the clamping part 34 and the frame 50, thereby making the assembly of the housing 20 and the main control box 30 easier.
[0045] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The main control box 30 also includes several positioning parts 35, all of which are connected to the frame 50.
[0046] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 20 is also provided with several positioning holes 252, which are located around the mounting hole 251 and communicate with the mounting hole 251.
[0047] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Several positioning parts 35 pass through several positioning holes 252 respectively to achieve the alignment of the main control box 30 and the housing 20.
[0048] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, "several" refers to one, two, or more than two.
[0049] It is understandable that by setting a positioning part 35 on the main control box 30 and a positioning hole 252 on the housing 20, the main control box 30 and the mounting hole 251 can be quickly aligned by the cooperation of the positioning part 35 and the positioning hole 252 when assembling the main control box 30 and the housing 20, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the main control box 30 and the housing 20.
[0050] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 The housing 20 is provided with a connecting hole 253, which is located around the mounting hole 251. The frame 50 is provided with a threaded hole 36. The housing assembly 100 also includes a threaded component (not shown), which passes through the connecting hole 253 and enters the threaded hole 36 to achieve a threaded connection.
[0051] For example, the threaded component may be a screw.
[0052] It should be noted that, since the embodiment of this application uses the clamping part 34 and the frame 50 to clamp the box 20 in the middle, the pre-fixation between the main control box 30 and the box 20 is achieved. Therefore, when using threaded parts to fix the frame 50 and the box 20, the use of threaded parts can be reduced. Usually, only one threaded part is used for connection, which can significantly improve the assembly efficiency of the main control box 30 and the box 20.
[0053] Please see Figure 6 The border 50 includes a top border 51, a right border 53, a bottom border 52, and a left border 54 connected from end to end. The top border 51 and the bottom border 52 are arranged opposite each other, and the left border 54 and the right border 53 are arranged opposite each other.
[0054] Please see Figure 6 Several of the positioning parts 35 are disposed on the top frame 51.
[0055] Please see Figure 6 The threaded hole 36 is disposed on the top frame 51.
[0056] Please see Figure 6 Each of the clamping parts 34 is connected to the area on the box body 31 corresponding to the bottom edge 52.
[0057] It is understandable that by setting the clamping and fixing position at the bottom of the main control box 30 and the screw fixing position at the top of the main control box 30, the main control box 30 can be fixed from both the top and bottom sides, thereby increasing the connection stability between the main control box 30 and the housing 20.
[0058] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The housing 20 includes a top plate 21, a first side plate 23, a second side plate 24, and a back plate 25. One end of the first side plate 23, one end of the second side plate 24, and one end of the back plate 25 are all connected to the top plate 21. The first side plate 23 and the second side plate 24 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side plate 23 and the second side plate 24 are respectively connected to both sides of the back plate 25. At least one of the top plate 21, the first side plate 23, the second side plate 24, and the back plate 25 is provided with the mounting hole 251.
[0059] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the mounting hole 251 is provided on the back plate 25.
[0060] For example, a main control board (not shown) is installed inside the main control box 30.
[0061] For example, the housing assembly 100 also includes a lid for covering the opening (not shown) of the housing 31.
[0062] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 For example, the box body 20 is provided with a recess 26, the mounting hole 251 is provided at the bottom of the recess 26, and at least a portion of the box cover is provided in the recess 26.
[0063] For example, the main control box 30 is made of BMC (Bulk Molding Compound). BMC material itself can achieve a 5VA flame retardant effect. Compared with traditional ABS material, the cost can be reduced by 20%. Moreover, BMC material itself has higher hardness, and no tooling needs to be added to the foaming mold during foaming, thereby saving time.
[0064] This application also provides a refrigeration device 200, including the housing assembly 100 in any of the above embodiments.
[0065] For example, the refrigeration equipment 200 can be a refrigerator, freezer, cold drink machine, refrigerated wine cabinet, freezer box, ice cream machine, ice maker, etc.
[0066] Please see Figure 8 The refrigeration equipment 200 also includes a cabinet liner assembly 300, which is disposed inside the cabinet body 20, and at least a portion of the main control box 30 is disposed between the cabinet liner assembly 300 and the cabinet body 20.
[0067] Please see Figure 8 The cabinet assembly 300 includes a refrigerator cabinet 310 and a freezer cabinet 320 arranged side by side, and at least a portion of the main control box 30 is disposed between the refrigerator cabinet 310 and the cabinet body 20.
[0068] The enclosure assembly and refrigeration equipment provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application, and the descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this application. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
