Figure 1 (For understanding); 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 repeated here, and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0028] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the second installation space 212 is located at the rear of the left end of the first installation space 211, and is located behind the electronic control unit 220, making full use of the space behind the electronic control unit 220 to set up the corresponding functional units.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, one end of the partition plate 230 in the horizontal direction is connected to the left side wall of the second housing 210, and the other end of the partition plate 230 in the horizontal direction is connected to the rear side wall of the second housing 210, so that the second installation space 212 is located at the rear of the left end of the first installation space 211.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the partition plate 230 is a folded plate, comprising a first horizontal plate segment 231 erected in the left-right direction, a second horizontal plate segment 233 erected in the left-right direction, a first vertical plate segment 232 erected in the front-back direction, and a second vertical plate segment 234 erected in the front-back direction. The left end of the first horizontal plate segment 231 is connected to the left side wall of the second housing 210; the front end of the first vertical plate segment 232 is connected to the right end of the first horizontal plate segment 231; the left end of the second horizontal plate segment 233 is connected to the rear end of the first vertical plate segment 232; the right end of the second horizontal plate segment 233 is connected to the front end of the second vertical plate segment 234; and the rear end of the second vertical plate segment 234 is connected to the rear side wall of the second housing 210. This design provides a simple structure for the folded plate, making it easy to manufacture.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the rear end of the left side wall of the second housing 210 is spaced apart from the left end of the rear side wall of the second housing 210, the left end of the first horizontal plate segment 231 is connected to the middle of the left side wall of the second housing 210, and the rear end of the second vertical plate segment 234 is connected to the left end of the rear side wall of the second housing 210.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the electronic control unit 220 is located on the front side of the first horizontal plate section 231. The heat pump unit 240 includes a main unit 241 and a heat dissipation pipe 242. The main unit 241 is located on the right side of the electronic control unit 220. The heat dissipation pipe 242 is disposed in the electronic control unit 220 and connected to the main unit 241.

The support frame 250 includes wiring channels and weight-reducing holes 253. The wiring channels include a first wiring channel 251 above the weight-reducing holes 253 and a second wiring channel 252 below the weight-reducing holes 253. One of the first wiring channel 251 and the second wiring channel 252 is a high-voltage wiring channel, and the other is a low-voltage wiring channel. The high-voltage and low-voltage wiring channels are used to separate the high-voltage and low-voltage wires connected to the electronic control unit 220. The weight reduction hole 253 is used to reduce the weight of the support frame 250, making it easier for operators to handle.

[0034] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first module 100 further includes: an air guide ring 140, a heat exchanger 120 located at the rear of the first housing 110, and a fan 130 located at the front of the heat exchanger 120. When the fan 130 operates, an airflow is formed within the first housing 110, originating from the heat exchanger 120 and directed through the fan 130 to the air guide ring 140. This airflow is then blown out from the front of the first housing 110. The heat exchanger 120 is configured as a U-shaped heat exchanger, an L-shaped heat exchanger, or a straight plate heat exchanger, etc.
