[0025] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the embodiments of this application, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. In one example, they can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction between two elements.

[0029] In electrical installation, especially in scenarios involving the wiring of both high-voltage and low-voltage wires, it is often necessary to pass wires through sheet metal or other structural components. This requires the use of wire-passing devices. If the distinction and management of high-voltage and low-voltage wires are not properly implemented during wiring, interference between the two circuits can easily occur, posing safety hazards.

[0030] Currently available cable management devices on the market have several problems: some are not easy to install and are difficult to securely fasten to sheet metal, making them prone to loosening or even falling off during subsequent use; some cable management devices do not properly distinguish and manage high-voltage and low-voltage wires, which can easily lead to interference between high-voltage and low-voltage wires and pose safety hazards; in addition, existing cable management devices are also insufficient in terms of structural strength, making it difficult to withstand long-term use and the pulling of wires, and current cable management devices use two separate cable clips for high-voltage and low-voltage wires, which makes installation inconvenient.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The air conditioning device 100 provided in this application includes a housing 10 and a wiring device 20. The housing 10 has a through hole 11. The wiring device 20 includes a base plate 21 and a connector 22. The connector 22 is connected to the base plate 21 and the housing 10 respectively, so that the base plate 21 is mounted on the through hole 11. The base plate 21 has a plurality of wire holes 211 arranged at intervals. The through hole 11 communicates with each wire hole 211. The distance between two adjacent wire holes 211 is greater than a preset distance threshold. The plurality of wire holes 211 are used for different types of wires to pass through.

[0032] Specifically, air conditioning equipment 100 refers to equipment that uses manual means to adjust and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow rate of the ambient air inside a building or structure.

[0033] The housing 10 is used to isolate other components of the air conditioning unit 100 from the outside world, or to isolate the various components of the air conditioning unit 100, so as to ensure that the various components of the air conditioning unit 100 are not interfered with. The housing 10 may be made of metallic materials, such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel or sheet metal, or it may be made of non-metallic materials, such as plastic or fiberglass.

[0034] The wire guide device 20 is a component used to fix and protect wires, ensuring their stability and safety. The wire guide device 20 includes a base plate 21 and a connector 22. The base plate 21 is the core structural component of the wire guide and is typically a plate-like structure. The shape of the base plate 21 can be arbitrary; for example, it can be elliptical, square, or circular. The connector 22 is used to connect the base plate 21 and the housing 10. For example, the base plate 21 is fixedly connected to the connector 22, and the connector 22 is detachably connected to the housing 10. Fixed connections include non-detachable connections, such as riveting or welding. Alternatively, the base plate 21 and connector 22 can be integrally formed. Detachable connections include threaded connections, snap-fit ​​connections, hinge connections, flange connections, and grooved (clamp) connections. Thus, the base plate 21 and connector 22 form a single unit, facilitating subsequent assembly of the entire wire guide device 20 with the housing 10 via the connector 22.

[0035] The substrate 21 has a plurality of through holes 211 spaced apart, and the through holes 11 are connected to each of the through holes 211. The through holes 211 are used for power supply wires to pass through. Therefore, when the wire passes through the through hole 211, it can pass through the through hole 11 until it is connected to the required component.

[0036] The distance between two adjacent wire through holes 211 is greater than a preset distance threshold. The preset distance threshold is the minimum distance required for two adjacent wires of any type to not interfere with each other. Wires generate an electromagnetic field when energized. If two adjacent wires are too close, the electromagnetic field of one wire can directly affect the other, impacting its normal operation and potentially posing a safety hazard. A distance greater than the preset distance threshold ensures that wires passing through adjacent wire through holes 211 will not interfere with each other, thus reducing safety risks.

[0037] Multiple wire through holes 211 are used to allow different types of wires to pass through. For example, the types of wires include high-voltage wires and low-voltage wires. High-voltage wires transmit high-voltage, high-current electrical energy, used to drive equipment or provide power. Low-voltage wires transmit low-voltage, low-current signals or data, used for communication, control, or sensing. High-voltage and low-voltage wires can pass through different wire through holes 211, allowing different types of wires to pass through with a single wire passing device 20. This facilitates convenient management of different types of wires, thereby improving the ease of assembly of the air conditioning equipment 100. At the same time, the distance between adjacent wire through holes 211 is greater than a preset distance threshold, preventing magnetic field interference and reducing safety hazards.

[0038] The air conditioning device 100 of this application includes a housing 10 and a wiring device 20. The housing 10 and the wiring device 20 are connected by a connector 22 to achieve the connection between the housing 10 and the wiring device 20. Through holes 11 are connected to various wiring holes 211, allowing wires to pass through the wiring holes 211 and the through holes 11, thereby facilitating the connection of the wires to other components of the air conditioning device 100. A plurality of wiring holes 211 are spaced apart on the base plate 21 of the wiring device 20. The distance between adjacent wiring holes 211 is greater than a preset distance threshold, and the plurality of wiring holes 211 are used for different types of wires to pass through. Thus, the wiring device 20 can integrate the installation of multiple different types of wires. At the same time, after each wire passes through the wiring hole 211, it can be ensured that each wire is not affected by the others, preventing magnetic field interference and reducing safety hazards.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the wire passage 211 includes a first wire passage 2111 and a second wire passage 2112, wherein the first wire passage 2111 is for high-voltage wires to pass through and the second wire passage 2112 is for low-voltage wires to pass through.

[0040] Specifically, the types of wires can be divided into high-voltage wires and low-voltage wires. The wire passage 211 includes a first wire passage 2111 and a second wire passage 2112. The first wire passage 2111 is used for high-voltage wires to pass through, and the second wire passage 2112 is used for low-voltage wires to pass through. The number of first wire passages 2111 and the number of second wire passages 2112 can be one or more, depending on the requirements of the air conditioning equipment 100.

[0041] The diameter of the first wire passage hole 2111 is larger than the diameter of the second wire passage hole 2112. The diameter of a high-voltage wire is generally larger than that of a low-voltage wire. Therefore, the larger diameter of the first wire passage hole 2111 ensures that both high-voltage and low-voltage wires can be smoothly installed in their respective wire passage holes 211, and that there are no large gaps between the high-voltage and low-voltage wires and their corresponding wire passage holes 211 after installation, ensuring that the high-voltage and low-voltage wires will not become loose after installation.

[0042] In this way, the wire guide device 20 can integrate the installation of high-voltage and low-voltage wires, while ensuring that the installation of high-voltage and low-voltage wires will not affect each other's operation. At the same time, the setting of the hole diameter is conducive to the orderly threading of high-voltage and low-voltage wires.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the wire guiding device 20 further includes a reinforcing portion 23 extending outward from the substrate 21, the reinforcing portion 23 surrounding the edge of the substrate 21, and the reinforcing portion 23 passing through the through hole 11.

[0044] Specifically, the reinforcing part 23 is a wall-mounted structure extending outward from the substrate 21. The reinforcing part 23 and the substrate 21 can be integrally formed or separately formed and then connected. The reinforcing part 23 extends outward from the substrate 21 and is an integral part surrounding the edge of the substrate 21, so that the reinforcing part 23 can distribute the external force on the wire guide device 20, effectively acting as a reinforcing wall. In this way, the reinforcing part 23 can enhance the overall structural strength of the wire guide device 20, making it less prone to deformation when subjected to wire pulling and external forces. At the same time, the reinforcing part 23 passes through the through hole 11, forming a large protrusion on the surface of the housing 10, ensuring that after the housing 10 and the wire guide device 20 are installed, at least the outer surface of the housing 10 is relatively flat, which is beneficial to the assembly of other components of the air conditioning equipment 100.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the connector 22 is mounted on the reinforcing part 23 and is connected to the through hole 11. The connector 22 and the reinforcing part 23 may be integrally formed. For example... Figure 3 In some embodiments, the connector 22 and the through hole 11 are engaged. In this case, the reinforcing part 23 can be processed according to the shape of the engaging buckle to directly generate the engaging buckle, which is the connector 22. In this way, the connector 22 can be easily and quickly engaged on the housing 10. The installation process is simple and quick, and the engagement is firm and reliable, not easy to loosen or fall off. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the connector 22 and the reinforcing part 23 can be formed separately, and the connector 22 is then installed on the reinforcing part 23 after forming.

[0046] The perforation 11 is usually provided on a plate of the housing 10, and the plate has a certain thickness. The connector 22 is installed on the reinforcing part 23 to ensure that after the reinforcing part 23 passes through the perforation 11, the connector 22 can be smoothly connected to the perforation 11, so that the substrate 21 can be stably connected to the housing 10.

[0047] In other embodiments, the connector 22 can be mounted on the substrate 21. For example, the connector 22 and the through hole 11 are connected by screws, with the connector 22 having screw holes. Screw holes can also be provided in the housing 10, and then the housing 10 and the connector 22 can be connected using screws. In this way, it can be ensured that the connector 22 can be connected to the through hole 11, and the strength of the reinforcing part 23 is also ensured, thereby further improving the structural strength of the wire guiding device 20.

[0048] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments, the wire guiding device 20 is provided with reinforcing ribs 24, with the reinforcing portion 23 and the base plate 21 respectively connected to adjacent sides of the reinforcing ribs 24. The number of reinforcing ribs 24 can be one or more. When there are multiple reinforcing ribs 24, the reinforcing ribs 24 can be evenly arranged in the reinforcing portion 23 so that the reinforcing ribs 24 can evenly distribute external forces and improve the strength of the wire guiding device 20.

[0049] Thus, the reinforcing rib 24 can effectively disperse external forces and prevent the wire guiding device 20 from cracking or being damaged during use, thereby further improving the structural strength and stability of the wire guiding device 20 by using the reinforcing rib 24.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the reinforcing part 23 includes a first sub-part 231 and a second sub-part 232. The first sub-part 231 corresponds to the first wire hole 2111, and the second sub-part 232 corresponds to the second wire hole 2112. The first sub-part 231 extends to form a first opening 2311, and the second sub-part 232 extends to form a second opening 2321. The first opening 2311 and the second opening 2321 are connected and have different widths.

[0051] Specifically, the reinforcing part 23 includes a first sub-part 231 and a second sub-part 232. The first sub-part 231 extends to form a first opening 2311, and the second sub-part 232 extends to form a second opening 2321. The first opening 2311 and the second opening 2321 are connected. It can be understood that the first sub-part 231 and the second sub-part 232 are U-shaped, and their openings are opposite to each other and connected. After the first sub-part 231 and the second sub-part 232 are connected, a surrounding space is formed between them, and the first wire-passing hole 2111 and the second wire-passing hole 2112 are located within this surrounding space. The first wire-passing hole 2111 is located in the area of ​​the surrounding space corresponding to the first sub-part 231, and the second wire-passing hole 2112 is located in the area of ​​the surrounding space corresponding to the second sub-part 232. That is, the first sub-part 231 corresponds to the first wire-passing hole 2111, and the second sub-part 232 corresponds to the second wire-passing hole 2112.

[0052] The widths of the first opening 2311 and the second opening 2321 are different; for example, the width of the first opening 2311 is greater than the width of the second opening 2321, or vice versa. The reinforcing part 23 passes through the through hole 11, and the shape of the through hole 11 must be the same as the shape of the reinforcing part 23. Therefore, when the widths of the first opening 2311 and the second opening 2321 are different, the width of the area in the through hole 11 corresponding to the first sub-part 231 and the width of the area in the through hole 11 corresponding to the second sub-part 232 are different. Figure 3 As can be seen, there is a foolproof transition angle 233 that slopes inward from top to bottom at the junction of the first sub-part 231 and the second sub-part 232.

[0053] Therefore, when mounting the wire guide device 20 onto the housing 10, the first opening 2311 must correspond to the area in the through hole 11 corresponding to the first sub-part 231, and the second opening 2321 must correspond to the area in the through hole 11 corresponding to the second sub-part 232, in order to mount the wire guide device 20 onto the housing 10. For example, if the first sub-part 231 is located in the upper half of the substrate 21 and the second sub-part 232 is located in the lower half of the substrate 21, during installation, the first sub-part 231 must be positioned above and the second sub-part 232 below so that the reinforcing part 23 can pass through the through hole 11, thereby mounting the wire guide device 20 onto the housing 10.

[0054] Thus, the different widths of the first opening 2311 and the second opening 2321 can serve as a foolproof installation method, standardizing the installation of the wire-passing device 20, preventing problems such as incorrect orientation during installation, and improving installation efficiency.

[0055] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the wire hole 211 is a knock-out hole.

[0056] Specifically, a knockout hole is a pre-designed opening on the housing of electrical or mechanical equipment, typically covered by a knockable metal or plastic sheet (called a knockout cover). Its purpose is to provide users with flexible installation or wiring options, avoiding inconvenience caused by limitations imposed by the housing structure.

[0057] The wire passage holes 211 produced in the production workshop are covered with knockout covers. During the assembly of the air conditioning unit 100, the knockout covers on the corresponding wire passage holes 211 are removed according to the type of wire used in assembly to expose the wire passage hole 211 before the wire is passed through it. Unused wire passage holes 211 are always covered with knockout covers to improve the prevention of dust, moisture, or foreign objects from entering the housing 10.

[0058] In this way, it can be ensured that the wires can pass smoothly through the wire guide device 20 during assembly, and external dust will not enter the housing 10 through the unused wire guide holes 211. Therefore, the knockout hole design makes the wire guide device 20 more flexible in use and can meet the wiring needs in different installation scenarios.

[0059] In other embodiments, the wire hole 211 is a through hole, that is, the wire hole 211 produced from the production workshop is not covered with a knock-out cover, so there is no need to remove the knock-out cover when assembling the air conditioning equipment 100, thereby improving the ease of assembly of the air conditioning equipment 100.

[0060] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments, the entire cable guide device 20 is made of plastic, that is, the aforementioned substrate 21, reinforcing part 23, and reinforcing rib 24 are all made of plastic. In this way, the cable guide device 20 has a certain degree of flexibility and strength, will not easily deform, and can withstand long-term use and the pulling of the wire.
