Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical appliances, specifically relating to a cable-passing structure compatible with multiple types of cables and a wired electrical appliance. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing household appliances require an external power source via cables to supply energy. However, due to the wide variety of appliance specifications and the inconsistent cable specifications, the cable outlets for most appliances also differ. This is especially true for stationary appliances, such as ceiling fans, which typically come with a decorative cover to conceal exposed cables. However, the varying specifications of ceiling fans lead to inconsistent cable specifications, necessitating different decorative covers for each cable outlet. Designing separate covers for each outlet would increase costs.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the patent document with publication number CN206478029U, a waterproof ceiling fan is disclosed, which includes a housing covering the motor assembly. The housing has a lead-out hole, but the lead-out hole can only accommodate one type of cable. That is, the housing cannot accommodate multiple specifications of cables. When the specifications of the cable change, the housing needs to be redesigned, which increases the cost. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems in existing technologies, this utility model proposes a cable passage structure and wiring-type electrical appliance compatible with multiple cables. By removing multiple baffle units connected at breakpoints, the cable passage can be formed into a custom shape, thereby enabling the cable passage to adapt to various cable specifications. This improves the compatibility of the cable passage structure and avoids the need for separate design and manufacturing of cable passages due to different cable specifications, thus reducing production costs.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: A cable passage structure compatible with multiple cables is disposed on the housing of an electrical appliance, connecting the inside and outside of the housing, allowing cables or cable trays / conduits covering cables to pass through. The cable passage structure includes a reserved opening with a baffle assembly inside. A first weak connection portion is provided between the periphery of the baffle assembly and the inner wall of the reserved opening. The first weak connection portion extends circumferentially along the reserved opening and includes multiple hollow portions arranged at intervals along the circumference, forming a breakpoint connection between the baffle assembly and the reserved opening. The baffle assembly is used to shield the reserved opening, reducing the probability of dust entering the interior of the electrical appliance through the reserved opening and improving the dustproof performance of the reserved opening. Furthermore, when the reserved opening needs to be used, the breakpoint-connected baffle assembly can be quickly removed to form a cable passage, improving the ease of use of the reserved opening.
[0006] The baffle assembly includes multiple baffle units; a second weak connection portion is provided between adjacent baffle units, the second weak connection portion including multiple hollow portions spaced apart along the arrangement direction, so that a breakpoint connection is formed between adjacent baffle units;
[0007] The baffle assembly is configured to form a cable passage in the reserved opening by irreversibly removing different numbers and corresponding positions of baffle units, which is adapted to the shape of the cable, cable tray or cable conduit. This improves the compatibility of the cable passage and avoids the need for separate design and secondary processing of the cable passage due to different cable specifications, thereby reducing production costs.
[0008] Preferably, the first weak connection portion includes a first groove, the bottom of the first groove is provided with the hollow portion, and a connecting rib portion is formed between two adjacent hollow portions;
[0009] The second weak connection portion includes a second groove, the bottom of which has the hollowed-out portion, and a connecting rib is formed between adjacent hollowed-out portions. The connecting rib improves the connection reliability between adjacent baffle units and between the baffle unit and the reserved opening, reducing the risk of the baffle unit accidentally falling off.
[0010] Specifically, the openings of both the first and second grooves face outwards, and the bottom surface of each groove is close to the inner wall of the housing, making the connecting ribs thin-plate shaped. This thin-plate shape makes the baffle unit easier to remove, improving the convenience of disassembly.
[0011] Specifically, the area occupied by the hollow portion of the first groove and the second groove is smaller than the area of the connecting rib portion of the first groove and the second groove, respectively. While ensuring the convenience of removing the baffle unit, the connection reliability of multiple baffle units is improved, avoiding the accidental removal of one baffle unit while removing another baffle unit, thus improving the reliability of the baffle assembly.
[0012] Preferably, the multiple baffle units include a first baffle and a second baffle arranged at the top and bottom, respectively. The second baffle is L-shaped, with a notch at its bottom, and a third baffle is disposed within the notch. The first baffle, the second baffle, and the third baffle form a modular structure for the baffle assembly, making it easier to disassemble the baffle assembly into a custom shape, thereby forming a custom-shaped wire passage and improving the compatibility of the wire passage.
[0013] Specifically, the baffle assembly includes the following disassembly methods: removing only the third baffle, simultaneously removing the second and third baffles, and simultaneously removing the first, second, and third baffles, so that the first, second, and third baffles form a stepped disassembly method, thereby allowing multiple custom-shaped wire passages to be formed by sequential expansion. Compared with forming custom-shaped wire passages by removing only a single different baffle, the stepped disassembly method avoids the parallel arrangement of spare wire passages, making the structure of the wire passages more compact and saving the space occupied by the wire passages.
[0014] Specifically, when only the third baffle is removed from the baffle assembly, the cable passage is square and suitable for ordinary cables; when both the second and third baffles are removed from the baffle assembly, the cable passage is square and suitable for square cable trays; when the first, second, and third baffles are removed from the baffle assembly, the cable passage is U-shaped and suitable for round conduits.
[0015] Preferably, both the housing and the baffle assembly are integrally molded from plastic. On the one hand, this eliminates the need for assembly and separate manufacturing of the baffle assembly and the housing, reducing the production cost of the baffle assembly and the housing. On the other hand, because plastic is relatively brittle, the baffle assembly made of plastic can quickly break the broken structure of the break point connection after bending, improving the ease of use of the baffle assembly.
[0016] A wired electrical appliance includes an appliance body, the outer casing of which is provided with the aforementioned wire-passing structure.
[0017] Preferably, the housing is provided with multiple cable-passing structures, which are evenly distributed around the periphery of the housing. Since the installation of wired electrical appliances requires reference to the cable distribution of the installation environment, it is convenient to electrically connect the cables of the wired electrical appliances to the cables of the installation environment. When there are multiple cable-passing structures and they are evenly distributed around the periphery of the housing, the cable-passing ports of the wired electrical appliances can face the cables of the installation environment, improving the convenience of electrical connection of the wired electrical appliances.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] This utility model proposes a cable passage structure and wiring-type electrical appliance compatible with multiple cables.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a cable routing structure compatible with multiple types of cables is provided on the housing 2 of the appliance, connecting the inside and outside of the housing 2, so that cables or cable trays / conduits covering cables can pass through.
[0027] The wiring structure includes a reserved opening 1, within which a baffle assembly 11 is provided. A first weak connection portion is provided between the periphery of the baffle assembly 11 and the inner wall of the reserved opening 1. The first weak connection portion extends circumferentially along the reserved opening 1 and includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced hollow portions 121, forming a breakpoint connection between the baffle assembly 11 and the reserved opening 1. The baffle assembly 11 is used to shield the reserved opening 1, reducing the probability of dust entering the interior of the appliance through the reserved opening 1 and improving the dustproof performance of the reserved opening 1. Furthermore, when the reserved opening 1 needs to be used, the breakpoint-connected baffle assembly 11 can be quickly removed to form a wiring opening, improving the ease of use of the reserved opening 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, both the housing 2 and the baffle assembly 11 are integrally molded from plastic. On the one hand, this eliminates the need for assembly and separate manufacturing of the baffle assembly 11 and the housing 2, reducing their production costs. On the other hand, because plastic is brittle, the baffle assembly 11 made of plastic can be bent so that the break point structure can be quickly broken, improving the ease of use of the baffle assembly 11.
[0029] The baffle assembly 11 includes multiple baffle units; a second weak connection portion is provided between adjacent baffle units, the second weak connection portion includes multiple hollow portions 121 spaced apart along the arrangement direction, so that a breakpoint connection is formed between adjacent baffle units;
[0030] The baffle assembly 11 is configured to form a cable passage adapted to the shape of the cable in the reserved opening 1 by irreversibly removing different numbers and corresponding positions of baffle units, thereby improving the compatibility of the cable passage and avoiding the need for separate design and secondary processing of the cable passage due to different cable specifications, thus reducing production costs.
[0031] In this embodiment, the multiple baffle units include a first baffle 112 and a second baffle 113 disposed on the top and bottom, respectively. The second baffle 113 is L-shaped, with a notch at its bottom, and a third baffle 114 is disposed within the notch. The first baffle 112, the second baffle 113, and the third baffle 114 enable the baffle assembly 11 to form a modular structure, making the baffle assembly 11 easier to disassemble into a custom shape, thereby forming a custom-shaped wire passage and improving the compatibility of the wire passage.
[0032] Specifically, the baffle assembly 11 includes the following disassembly methods: removing only the third baffle 114, simultaneously removing the second baffle 113 and the third baffle 114, and simultaneously removing the first baffle 112, the second baffle 113, and the third baffle 114, so that the first baffle 112, the second baffle 113, and the third baffle 114 form a stepped disassembly method, thereby allowing multiple custom-shaped wire passages to be formed by sequential expansion. Compared with forming custom-shaped wire passages by removing only a single different baffle, the stepped disassembly method avoids the parallel arrangement of spare wire passages, making the structure of the wire passages more compact and saving the space occupied by the wire passages.
[0033] Specifically, when only the third baffle 114 is removed from the baffle assembly 11, the cable passage is square and suitable for ordinary cables; when the second baffle 113 and the third baffle 114 are removed from the baffle assembly 11 at the same time, the cable passage is square and suitable for square cable trays; when the first baffle 112, the second baffle 113 and the third baffle 114 are removed from the baffle assembly 11 at the same time, the cable passage is U-shaped and suitable for round conduits.
[0034] In this embodiment, the first weak connection portion includes a first groove 12, the bottom of the first groove 12 is provided with the hollow portion 121, and a connecting rib portion 122 is formed between two adjacent hollow portions;
[0035] The second weak connection portion includes a second groove 111, the bottom of which is provided with the hollow portion 121, and a connecting rib portion 122 is formed between adjacent hollow portions. The connecting rib portion 122 improves the connection reliability between adjacent baffle units and between the baffle unit and the reserved opening 1, and reduces the risk of the baffle unit accidentally falling off.
[0036] Specifically, the openings of the first groove 12 and the second groove 111 are both arranged outwards, and the bottom surface of each groove is close to the inner wall of the housing, making the connecting rib 122 thin-plate shaped. The thin-plate shaped connecting rib 122 makes the baffle unit easier to remove, improving the convenience of removing the baffle unit.
[0037] Specifically, the area occupied by the hollow portion 122 of the first groove 12 and the second groove 111 is smaller than the area of the connecting rib portion 122 of the first groove 12 and the second groove 111, respectively. While ensuring the convenience of removing the baffle unit, the connection reliability of multiple baffle units is improved, avoiding the accidental removal of one baffle unit while removing another baffle unit, thus improving the reliability of the baffle assembly 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, the housing is provided with multiple cable-passing structures, which are evenly distributed around the periphery of the housing. Since the installation of wired electrical appliances requires reference to the cable distribution of the installation environment, it is convenient to electrically connect the cables of the wired electrical appliances to the cables of the installation environment. When there are multiple cable-passing structures and they are evenly distributed around the periphery of the housing, the cable-passing ports of the wired electrical appliances can face the cables of the installation environment, improving the convenience of electrical connection of the wired electrical appliances.
