Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliance technology, specifically to an integrated bracket and home appliance. Background Technology

[0002] Most electrical components in existing home appliances, such as power cords, tilt switches, and temperature sensors, are installed and fixed using independent bracket structures. This results in a complex overall structure, redundant space layout, low assembly efficiency, and inconvenience for later maintenance and replacement. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an integrated bracket and home appliance to solve the problems of the bracket structure of existing home appliances having single function, complex overall structure, redundant space layout, and low assembly efficiency.

[0004] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an integrated bracket, including a bracket body, on which at least two of the following are integrated: a power cord mounting structure, a tilt switch mounting structure, and a temperature sensing bulb mounting structure.

[0005] Beneficial Effects: By integrating at least two of the power cord mounting structure, tilt switch mounting structure, and temperature sensor mounting structure into a single bracket, the integrated design of the bracket offers greater functionality and a more streamlined overall structure. This ensures that each component operates independently without interference, improving assembly convenience and efficiency. The more compact overall structure saves space and increases space utilization. Furthermore, when problems arise with the power cord or the tilt switch and temperature sensor are damaged, maintenance personnel only need to operate on the entire bracket module, simplifying the maintenance process and shortening repair time. In addition, the integrated bracket standardizes the wiring of the power cord, tilt switch, and temperature sensor, avoiding messy and haphazardly bent internal cables. This reduces the risk of short circuits or open circuits caused by excessive bending and wear, optimizes wiring, and enhances safety. It effectively solves the problems of existing bracket structures having limited functionality, non-compact overall structures, large space requirements for component installation, and low assembly efficiency.

[0006] In one alternative implementation, the power cord mounting structure includes:

[0007] The first rib is fixedly installed on the main body of the bracket, and a power line routing groove is formed inside the first rib.

[0008] The power cord inlet and the power cord outlet are located on the first rib. The power cord enters the first rib through the power cord inlet, and after circling the power cord routing groove at least half a turn, it extends out through the power cord outlet.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The power cable routing groove formed within the first rib can constrain and limit the routing of the power cable. The power cable enters the first rib through the power cable inlet, circles the power cable routing groove at least half a turn, and then exits through the power cable outlet. The power cable routing groove within the first rib, along with the power cable inlet and outlet on the first rib, ensures that the power cable follows a planned path, avoiding messy and arbitrary bends, and standardizing the cable's routing. This reduces the risk of short circuits or open circuits caused by excessive bending and wear. Furthermore, the fact that the power cable circles the routing groove at least half a turn before exiting increases the cable's tensile strength and prevents damage to the internal core wires due to excessively small bending radii.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the power cord mounting structure further includes:

[0011] A limiting post is set inside the first surrounding rib, and the outer periphery of the limiting post, the inner periphery of the first surrounding rib, and the main body of the bracket enclose and form a power line routing groove.

[0012] The pressure plate is detachably connected to the limiting post or the first surrounding rib, and blocks and limits the power cord within the power cord routing groove.

[0013] Beneficial effects: By setting the limiting post inside the first rib, the limiting post and the first rib together form a power line routing groove, which can further standardize the routing path of the power line. In addition, the setting pressure plate can block and limit the power line in the power line routing groove, further improving the stability of the power line structure and preventing the power line from coming out of the power line routing groove.

[0014] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting post is hollow and has internal threads, and the pressure plate is connected to the limiting post by bolts.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The limiting post adopts the structure of a bolt post, which can not only cooperate with the first surrounding rib to form a power line routing channel, but also connect with the pressure plate thread to limit the position of the power line. It serves multiple purposes. Compared with the fixing method of setting buckles or other structures on the limiting post or pressure plate, the limiting post with internal threads and the pressure plate with a bolt hole in the center are less likely to interfere with the power line, and the overall fixing and limiting of the power line is more stable and reliable.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, the power cord mounting structure further includes:

[0017] Multiple reinforcing ribs are connected circumferentially between the limiting post and the first surrounding rib. The reinforcing ribs are provided with slots, and the power cord is supported and limited in the slots.

[0018] Beneficial effects: By setting multiple reinforcing ribs, the stability of the limiting column structure can be further improved. Furthermore, by setting U-shaped or semi-circular slots on the reinforcing ribs, the power cord is supported and limited in the slots, which can constrain the power cord in the radial direction of the power cord routing groove, preventing the power cord from moving around in the power cord routing groove, and further improving the stability and reliability of the power cord position.

[0019] In one alternative implementation, the tilt switch mounting structure includes:

[0020] The second rib is fixedly installed on the main body of the bracket. A contour groove matching the outer contour of the tilt switch is formed in the second rib, and the tilt switch is limited in the contour groove.

[0021] Beneficial effect: By forming a contoured groove in the second rib that matches the outer contour of the tilt switch, it is possible to better constrain and limit the tilt switch.

[0022] In one alternative embodiment, the tilt switch mounting structure further includes:

[0023] The fixing buckle is set in the contour groove and is used to engage with the tilt switch when the tilt switch is installed in place to fix the tilt switch.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The fixed buckle can be engaged with the tilt switch when it is installed in place, thereby fixing the tilt switch and further improving the stability of the tilt switch structure, reducing the risk of the tilt switch accidentally coming out of the contour groove.

[0025] In one optional embodiment, the second reinforcing bar includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other, and a fixing buckle is disposed on the first sidewall;

[0026] The inner wall surface of the second side wall is constructed as an inclined guide surface, which is used to guide the tilt switch into the contour groove.

[0027] And / or, a guide rib is provided in the contour groove, the guide rib is located on the side near the second side wall, the guide rib has a guide part, the guide part is used to guide the tilt switch to slide into the contour groove.

[0028] Beneficial effects: Both the guide surface and guide ribs serve a guiding function, facilitating the tilt switch's sliding into the contour groove. During installation, the guide surface and guide ribs quickly guide the tilt switch into the contour groove, which is then locked in place by the fixing clips, resulting in higher assembly efficiency. By placing the guide surface and guide ribs on the side opposite to the fixing clips, it is easier to install the tilt switch into the contour groove from the side without fixing clips, making installation even more convenient.

[0029] In one alternative implementation, the temperature sensing bulb mounting structure includes:

[0030] An opening slot is provided on the main body of the bracket, and the temperature sensing bulb is embedded in the opening slot.

[0031] The limiting ribs include a first limiting rib and a second limiting rib. The first limiting rib and the second limiting rib are fixedly installed on the opposite side walls of the support body, which are suitable for clamping and limiting the temperature sensing bulb in the opening groove from both sides of the opening groove.

[0032] Beneficial effects: The temperature sensor is embedded in the opening groove, and the first and second limiting ribs clamp and limit the temperature sensor in the opening groove from both sides, thereby realizing the limiting and fixing of the temperature sensor from multiple directions, which can further improve the stability of the temperature sensor position.

[0033] In one alternative embodiment, the opening groove is a strip-shaped groove with an opening at the bottom, and the opening groove has two long strip sides arranged opposite to each other;

[0034] The first limiting rib is fixedly installed on the first wall surface of the support body and is blocked between the two long strips of the opening slot;

[0035] The second limiting rib is fixedly installed on the second wall surface of the support body. There are multiple second limiting ribs, and the multiple second limiting ribs are staggered along the length direction of the opening groove on the two long strips of the opening groove.

[0036] Beneficial effects: The first limiting rib adopts the design of sealing the opening groove, and multiple second limiting ribs are staggered along the length of the opening groove on the two long strips of the opening groove. During assembly, the temperature sensing bag is pressed by the staggered second limiting ribs on the left and right and the first limiting rib on the other side, which further improves the stability of the temperature sensing bag. The staggered arrangement of the second limiting ribs also makes it easier to disassemble and assemble the temperature sensing bag.

[0037] In one alternative implementation, the temperature sensing bag includes:

[0038] The temperature sensing bulb body and the lead wire connected to the temperature sensing bulb body are installed in the open slot;

[0039] The temperature sensor mounting structure also includes a wiring structure, which is used to constrain the wiring path of the leads. The wiring structure includes:

[0040] The cable routing wall is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bracket body, and the bottom edge of the cable routing wall is provided with a first cable clamping groove and a second cable clamping groove at intervals.

[0041] The cable routing rib is fixedly installed on the first wall surface of the cable routing wall and is located between the first and second cable clamping grooves. A third cable clamping groove is provided on the cable routing rib.

[0042] The opening of the third wire slot is different from that of the first and second wire slots, and is higher than the first and second wire slots. The lead wire passes through the first wire slot from the second wall of the bracket body to the first wall of the bracket body, and extends out from the second wire slot after being bent through the third wire slot.

[0043] Beneficial effects: The upper part of the temperature sensor installation structure adopts a second limiting rib arranged in a staggered manner on the left and right, and the lower part adopts a labyrinth-style wire locking groove. The lead wire at the tail extends from the second wall surface of the bracket body, first bends through the first wire locking groove to the first wall surface of the bracket, then bends upward through the third wire locking groove, and then bends downward through the second wire locking groove. When the temperature sensor is subjected to external tension, the fasteners on different planes will generate opposite supporting forces, providing longitudinal clamping force as a whole, thereby forming a self-locking structure. This can effectively prevent the temperature sensor from being pulled out by lateral force, ensuring the fixing effect of the temperature sensor, the stability of the structure, and the reliability of the temperature sensing function.

[0044] Secondly, this utility model also provides a household appliance, including a main body and an integrated bracket of any of the above embodiments mounted on the main body.

[0045] In one optional embodiment, multiple latch positions are provided at intervals on the main body of the integrated bracket along its length.

[0066] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0067] The following is combined Figures 1 to 5 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, the present invention provides an integrated bracket 1, including a bracket body 11, on which at least two of the following are integrated: a power cord mounting structure 12, a tilt switch mounting structure 13, and a temperature sensing bulb mounting structure 14.

[0069] In the above embodiments, by integrating at least two of the power cord mounting structure 12, tilt switch mounting structure 13, and temperature sensor mounting structure 14 onto a single bracket, the bracket adopts an integrated design, offering more diverse functions and a more streamlined overall structure. This ensures that each component operates independently without interference, while improving assembly convenience and efficiency. Simultaneously, the overall structure is more compact, saving space and increasing space utilization. Furthermore, when a problem occurs with the power cord 2 or the tilt switch 3 and temperature sensor 4 are damaged, maintenance personnel only need to operate on the entire bracket module, simplifying the maintenance process and shortening maintenance time. In addition, the integrated bracket 1 standardizes the wiring of the power cord 2, tilt switch 3, and temperature sensor 4, avoiding messy and haphazardly bent internal cables, reducing the risk of short circuits or open circuits caused by excessive bending or wear of the wires, optimizing wiring, and improving safety. This effectively solves the problems of limited functionality in existing bracket structures, non-compact overall product structures, large space requirements for component installation, and low assembly efficiency.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the tilt switch mounting structure 13, the power cord mounting structure 12, and the temperature sensor mounting structure 14 are arranged sequentially along the length of the bracket body 11.

[0071] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment, the main body 11 of the bracket integrates a power cord mounting structure 12, a tilt switch mounting structure 13, and a temperature sensor mounting structure 14. The power cord 2, tilt switch 3, and temperature sensor 4 are all integrated and mounted on the same independent bracket, which makes it more convenient to maintain and replace the power cord 2, tilt switch 3, and temperature sensor 4 in the future. This further simplifies the internal circuit layout and structural design of the product, making the overall structure more compact, the space utilization rate higher, and more conducive to improving production efficiency and assembly efficiency.

[0072] In some embodiments, the power cord mounting structure 12 includes a first surrounding rib 121, which is fixedly mounted on the bracket body 11. A power cord routing groove is formed in the first surrounding rib 121. The power cord mounting structure 12 also includes a power cord inlet 122 and a power cord outlet 123, which are disposed on the first surrounding rib 121. The power cord 2 enters the first surrounding rib 121 from the power cord inlet 122, and after circling the power cord routing groove at least half a turn, it extends out from the power cord outlet 123.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the power cable routing groove formed within the first rib 121 can constrain and limit the routing of the power cable 2. The power cable 2 enters the first rib 121 from the power cable inlet 122, and after circling the power cable routing groove at least half a turn, it exits through the power cable outlet 123. Through the power cable routing groove formed within the first rib 121 and the power cable inlet 122 and outlet 123 provided on the first rib 121, the power cable 2 can be routed along a planned path, avoiding the problem of messy and arbitrary bending of the power cable 2, standardizing the routing of the power cable 2, and thus reducing the risk of short circuits or open circuits caused by excessive bending and wear of the power cable 2. Furthermore, the fact that the power cable 2 circles the power cable routing groove at least half a turn before exiting increases the tensile strength of the power cable 2 and prevents damage to the internal core wires due to excessively small bending radii.

[0074] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, an opening is provided on one side of the first rib 121, and the opening of the first rib 121 constitutes a power cord inlet 122. Specifically, the opening of the opening faces the tilt switch mounting structure 13.

[0075] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 121 includes an annular reinforcing rib body, with an opening on one side and a power cord outlet 123 at the bottom. Specifically, the bottom of the reinforcing rib body protrudes outward to form an outward protrusion, and a power cord outlet 123 is formed on the bottom wall of the outward protrusion. The power cord 2 enters the power cord routing groove from the power cord inlet 122 on the side, and after wrapping around the power cord routing groove for about 3 / 4 of a turn, extends out from the power cord outlet 123 at the bottom.

[0076] In some embodiments, the power cord mounting structure 12 further includes a limiting post 124, which is disposed within the first surrounding rib 121. The outer periphery of the limiting post 124, the inner periphery of the first surrounding rib 121, and the bracket body 11 together form a power cord routing groove. The power cord mounting structure 12 also includes a pressure plate 125, which is detachably connected to the limiting post 124 or the first surrounding rib 121 and blocks and limits the power cord 2 within the power cord routing groove.

[0077] In the above embodiment, the limiting post 124 provided in the first surrounding rib 121 forms a power line routing groove with the first surrounding rib 121, which can further regulate the routing path of the power line 2. In addition, the pressure plate 125 can block and limit the power line 2 in the power line routing groove, further improving the stability of the power line 2 structure and preventing the power line 2 from coming out of the power line routing groove.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the limiting post 124 is located at the center of the first surrounding rib 121, and the outer diameter of the pressure plate 125 is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting post 124 but smaller than the inner diameter of the first surrounding rib 121. The pressure plate 125 is detachably connected to the limiting post 124.

[0079] In some embodiments, the limiting post 124 is hollow and has internal threads, and the pressure plate 125 is connected to the limiting post 124 by bolts.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the limiting post 124 adopts the structure of a bolt post, which can cooperate with the first surrounding rib 121 to form a power line routing groove, and can also be threadedly connected to the pressure plate 125 to limit the position of the power line 2. It serves multiple purposes. Compared with the fixing method of setting buckles or other structures on the limiting post 124 or the pressure plate 125, the limiting post 124 with internal threads and the pressure plate 125 with a bolt hole in the center are less likely to interfere with the power line 2, and the overall fixing and limiting of the power line 2 is more stable and reliable.

[0081] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, a bolt hole is formed in the center of the pressure plate 125, and a bolt passes through the bolt hole of the pressure plate 125 to be threadedly connected to the limiting post 124. Preferably, the pressure plate 125 is circular or D-shaped.

[0082] As an alternative implementation, the tablet 125 is snapped and fixed on the limiting post 124, and the limiting post 124 is provided with snap-fit ​​structures such as a slot, a platform, and a buckle.

[0083] In some embodiments, the power cord mounting structure 12 further includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 126, which are circumferentially spaced between the limiting post 124 and the first surrounding rib 121. The reinforcing ribs 126 are provided with slots, and the power cord 2 is supported and limited in the slots.

[0084] In the above embodiment, the stability of the limiting post 124 structure can be further improved by the multiple reinforcing ribs 126. The power line 2 is supported and limited in the slots provided on the reinforcing ribs 126 in the U-shape or semi-circular shape. This can constrain the power line 2 in the radial direction of the power line routing groove, prevent the power line 2 from moving in the power line routing groove, and further improve the stability and reliability of the position of the power line 2.

[0085] The installation process of power cord 2 in this embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0086] One end of the power cord 2 enters through the power cord inlet 122 on the side, and is guided and positioned by the limiting post 124 and the internal reinforcing ribs 126. The entire cord is wrapped around the power cord routing groove, extending from the power cord outlet 123 at the lower end and connecting to an external power source. The limiting post 124 has a threaded hole, and the outer end face of the power cord 2 is secured with a pressure plate 125 and bolts. The power cord 2, wrapped around the limiting post 124 within the power cord routing groove, is limited and engaged in the power cord routing groove by the pressure plate 125, and is locked into the bracket by bolts, making the overall fixation and positioning of the power cord 2 more stable and reliable.

[0087] In some embodiments, the tilt switch mounting structure 13 includes a second rib 131, which is fixedly mounted on the bracket body 11. A contour groove matching the outer contour of the tilt switch 3 is formed in the second rib 131, and the tilt switch 3 is limited within the contour groove.

[0088] In the above embodiment, by forming a contoured groove in the second rib 131 that matches the outer contour of the tilt switch 3, it is possible to better constrain and limit the tilt switch 3.

[0089] In some embodiments, the tilt switch mounting structure 13 further includes a fixing buckle 132, which is disposed in the contour groove and is used to engage with the tilt switch 3 when the tilt switch 3 is installed in place, so as to fix the tilt switch 3.

[0090] In the above embodiment, the fixed buckle 132 can be engaged with the tilt switch 3 when it is installed in place, thereby fixing the tilt switch 3 and further improving the stability of the tilt switch 3 structure and reducing the risk of the tilt switch 3 accidentally coming out of the contour groove.

[0091] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the second rib 131 includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other, and a fixing buckle 132 is disposed on the first sidewall.

[0092] Based on the above embodiment, as a further defined embodiment, the inner wall surface of the second sidewall is constructed as an inclined guide surface 1310, which is used to guide the tilt switch 3 to slide into the contour groove; a guide rib 133 is provided in the contour groove, the guide rib 133 is located on the side close to the second sidewall, and the guide rib 133 has a guide portion, which is used to guide the tilt switch 3 to slide into the contour groove.

[0093] In the above embodiment, both the guide surface 1310 and the guide rib 133 serve a guiding function, facilitating the tilt switch 3 to slide into the contour groove. During installation, the guide portion of the guide surface 1310 and the guide rib 133 quickly guides the tilt switch 3 into the contour groove, and then it is locked in place by the fixing buckle 132, resulting in higher assembly efficiency. By placing the guide surface 1310 and the guide rib 133 on the side opposite to the fixing buckle 132, it is easier to install the tilt switch 3 into the contour groove from the side without the fixing buckle 132, making installation more convenient.

[0094] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the end of the guide rib 133 is provided with a chamfer to form a guide portion, preferably, the guide portion is an inclined surface.

[0095] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the height of the entire guide rib 133 is adapted to the height of the tilt switch 3. The guide rib 133 also includes an elastic support portion, which is fixedly disposed above the elastic support portion. The elastic support portion can elastically deform in the width direction of the tilt switch 3 to adjust the assembly gap between the second rib 131 and the tilt switch 3 in the width direction, thereby improving the assembly stability of the tilt switch 3. The tilt switch 3 is positioned by ensuring that it is installed in place through the guide rib 133 and the contour groove that is approximately the same as the outline of the tilt switch 3. Finally, the tilt switch 3 is locked and fixed by the fixing buckle 132.

[0096] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the tilt switch mounting structure 13 also includes an elastic support rib provided on the bottom wall of the contour groove. The elastic support rib can undergo elastic deformation in the height direction of the tilt switch 3 to adjust the assembly gap between the second surrounding rib 131 and the tilt switch 3 in the height direction, thereby further improving the assembly stability of the tilt switch 3.

[0097] The installation process of the tilt switch 3 in this embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0098] In this embodiment, the tilt switch 3 is installed in the contour groove via the guide surface 1310 and the guide ribs 133 and elastic support ribs within the contour groove, and is locked in place using the fixing buckle 132, forming the tilt switch installation structure 13. During installation, the tilt switch 3 first slides into the contour groove from the left side via the guide surface 1310 and guide ribs 133, then is positioned by the elastic support ribs, guide ribs 133, and the outer contour of the contour groove, and finally the entire assembly is fixed by the fixing buckle 132 on the right side, thereby ensuring the stability of the tilt switch 3 installation.

[0099] In some embodiments, the temperature sensor mounting structure 14 includes an opening groove 141, and the support body 11 has an opening groove 141, in which the temperature sensor 4 is embedded; the temperature sensor mounting structure 14 also includes limiting ribs, including a first limiting rib 142 and a second limiting rib 143, which are fixedly disposed on opposite side walls of the support body 11, and are suitable for clamping and limiting the temperature sensor 4 in the opening groove 141 from both sides.

[0100] In the above embodiment, the temperature sensing bag 4 is embedded in the opening groove 141, and the temperature sensing bag 4 is clamped and limited in the opening groove 141 from both sides by the first limiting rib 142 and the second limiting rib 143, thereby realizing the limiting and fixing of the temperature sensing bag 4 from multiple directions, which can further improve the stability of the position of the temperature sensing bag 4.

[0101] In some embodiments, the opening groove 141 is a strip-shaped groove with an open bottom, and the opening groove 141 has two elongated sides arranged opposite to each other; the first limiting rib 142 is fixedly disposed on the first wall surface of the support body 11 and is blocked between the two elongated sides of the opening groove 141; the second limiting rib 143 is fixedly disposed on the second wall surface of the support body 11, and there are multiple second limiting ribs 143, and the multiple second limiting ribs 143 are staggered along the length direction of the opening groove 141 on the two elongated sides of the opening groove 141.

[0102] In the above embodiment, the first limiting rib 142 adopts the design of blocking the opening groove 141, and multiple second limiting ribs 143 are staggered along the length direction of the opening groove 141 on the two long strips of the opening groove 141. During assembly, the temperature sensing bag 4 is pressed by the staggered second limiting ribs 143 on the left and right and the first limiting rib 142 on the other side, which further improves the stability of the temperature sensing bag 4. The staggered arrangement of the second limiting ribs 143 also makes it easier to disassemble and assemble the temperature sensing bag 4.

[0103] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the first wall surface and the second wall surface are arranged opposite to each other, and the first limiting rib 142 and the second limiting rib 143 are distributed on the opposite two side walls of the support body 11. Specifically, the first wall surface is the front and the second wall surface is the back, that is, the first limiting rib 142 is arranged on the front of the support body 11 and the second limiting rib 143 is arranged on the back of the support body 11.

[0104] Furthermore, the length of the first limiting rib 142 is greater than the length of the second limiting rib 143. Preferably, both the first limiting rib 142 and the second limiting rib 143 extend along the width direction of the opening groove 141, and the length of the first limiting rib 142 is greater than the width of the opening groove 141, while the length of the second limiting rib 143 is less than the width of the opening groove 141. There are two second limiting ribs 143, which are arranged on two long strips along the length direction of the opening groove 141.

[0105] In some embodiments, the temperature sensing element 4 includes a temperature sensing element body 41 and a lead wire 42 connected to the temperature sensing element body 41. The temperature sensing element body 41 is installed in the opening slot 141. The temperature sensing element mounting structure 14 further includes a wiring structure for constraining the wiring path of the lead wire 42. The wiring structure includes a wiring wall, which is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the support body 11. A first wire-holding groove 144 and a second wire-holding groove 145 are provided at intervals on the bottom edge of the wiring wall. The wiring structure also includes wiring ribs, which are fixedly disposed on the wiring wall. The first wall of the wire wall is located between the first wire clamping groove 144 and the second wire clamping groove 145. A third wire clamping groove 146 is provided on the wire routing rib. The opening orientation of the third wire clamping groove 146 is different from that of the first wire clamping groove 144 and the second wire clamping groove 145, and it is higher than the first wire clamping groove 144 and the second wire clamping groove 145. The lead wire 42 passes through the first wire clamping groove 144 from the second wall of the bracket body 11 to the first wall of the bracket body 11, and after being bent by the third wire clamping groove 146, it extends out from the second wire clamping groove 145.

[0106] In the above embodiment, the upper part of the temperature sensing bag mounting structure 14 adopts the second limiting ribs 143 arranged alternately on the left and right, and the lower part adopts the labyrinth-type wire locking groove. The lead wire 42 at the tail extends from the second wall surface of the bracket body 11, first bends through the first wire locking groove 144 to the first wall surface of the bracket, then bends upward through the third wire locking groove 146, and then bends downward through the second wire locking groove 145. When the temperature sensing bag 4 is subjected to external tension, the fasteners on different planes will generate opposite supporting forces, and the whole provides longitudinal clamping force, thereby forming a self-locking structure, which can effectively prevent the temperature sensing bag 4 from being pulled out by lateral force, ensuring the fixing effect of the temperature sensing bag 4, the stability of the structure, and the reliability of the temperature sensing function.

[0107] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the wiring rib is fixedly disposed on the front side of the wiring wall. The wiring rib is located between the first wire clamping groove 144 and the second wire clamping groove 145. The second wire clamping groove 145 is located at one end of the support body 11 in the length direction. The first wire clamping groove 144 and the second wire clamping groove 145 are opened on the bottom edge of the wiring wall. Both the first wire clamping groove 144 and the second wire clamping groove 145 are wire clamping grooves with their openings facing downwards. The wiring rib is a longitudinally extending rib. The third wire clamping groove 146 is opened on the side wall of the wiring rib, specifically a wire clamping groove with its opening facing forward.

[0108] Based on the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, the cable routing wall includes a first cable routing wall and a second cable routing wall spaced apart. The plate surface of the first cable routing wall is parallel to the plate surface of the bracket body 11. A first cable clamping groove 144 is formed at the bottom edge of the first cable routing wall. The plate surface of the second cable routing wall is perpendicular to the plate surface of the bracket body 11. The first cable routing wall and the second cable routing wall are perpendicular to each other. The second cable routing wall is located at the end of the bracket body 11. A second cable clamping groove 145 is formed at the bottom edge of the second cable routing wall. Cable routing ribs are fixedly arranged on the first cable routing wall and located on the front side of the first cable routing wall.

[0109] The installation process of the temperature sensing bulb 4 in this embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0110] To prevent the temperature sensor 4 from detaching under external tension and to reduce overall assembly steps, a labyrinth-type wire-locking groove is used for fixation. The temperature sensor body 41 at the head of the temperature sensor 4 is interference-fitted into the opening slot 141 and is secured by two staggered second limiting ribs 143 on the left and right and the first limiting rib 142 on the front. The lead wire 42 at the tail extends from the back of the bracket body 11, first bends through the first wire-locking groove 144 to the front of the bracket body 11, then bends upward and to the right through the third wire-locking groove 146, and then bends downward through the second wire-locking groove 145. The lower end of the bracket body 11 is designed with a labyrinth-shaped wire-locking groove to lock the wire of the temperature sensor 4. When the temperature sensor 4 is subjected to external tension, the fasteners on different planes will generate opposite supporting forces, thus forming a self-locking structure to ensure that the temperature sensor 4 can be fixed and work normally.

[0111] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, a household appliance is provided, including an appliance body and an integrated bracket 1 of any of the above embodiments mounted on the appliance body.

[0112] In this embodiment, the home appliances include, but are not limited to, heating devices such as fan heaters, electric heaters, and oil-filled radiators; or, standing air conditioners, high-end air purifiers, and smart humidifiers; or, baking equipment such as ovens and bread makers.

[0113] In a preferred embodiment, the household appliance is a baseboard heater.

[0114] In some embodiments, along the length of the integrated bracket 1, a plurality of hook positions 111 are provided at intervals on the bracket body 11; the equipment body includes a rear plate 5, and a connecting protrusion 51 is provided on the rear plate 5. The bracket body 11 is hooked onto the connecting protrusion 51 by the plurality of hook positions 111 and fixed by bolts.

[0115] In the above embodiment, the bracket body 11 is hooked onto the connecting protrusion 51 of the rear plate 5 by multiple hook positions 111 to form a pre-position, and then fixed by bolts. The connection is reliable and stable, and easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0116] Specifically, the back plate 5 is a sheet metal part, and the hook position 111 is located on the back of the bracket body 11. Multiple inverted L-shaped hook plates are spaced apart on the bracket body 11, forming the hook position 111 with the bracket body 11. Optionally, the connecting protrusion 51 is an L-shaped bent edge, and the L-shaped hook plate hooks onto the L-shaped connecting protrusion 51. The connecting protrusion 51 has screw holes, and the bracket body 11 has connecting holes. The screw holes and connecting holes are connected by bolts to fix the entire bracket. The bracket is hung on the connecting protrusion 51 of the back plate 5, forming a pre-position. Simultaneously, since the power cord 2 will be subjected to a certain pulling force when it extends and connects to the power source, a single bolt is used to fix and position the bracket body 11 on the side closest to the power cord 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the bracket installation.

[0117] In this embodiment, by adopting an integrated bracket design, the wiring of the outer part of the skirting board electric heater is integrated into a bracket structure. The structure is simplified and the functions are diverse. It ensures that each component is independent and does not interfere with each other, and provides assembly convenience. At the same time, it saves overall structural space, making the overall structure more compact and the layout more reasonable. This frees up more space for other components inside the electric heater (such as larger heating elements or heat sinks), or reduces the overall size of the product while maintaining the same performance, thereby improving product competitiveness.

[0118] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
