Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of lead wire protection mechanism, and in particular relates to a lead wire protection mechanism for a refrigerator fan. Background Technology

[0002] The fan motor inside the refrigerator is a mature product, but it is connected to a wiring harness box. The wiring harness box contains metal terminals and wires. Some of the metal terminals and wires are exposed outside the wiring harness box, while others are built inside. The metal terminals and wires inside the wiring harness box are connected together. Because the refrigerator is quite humid, and the existing wiring harness boxes have almost no protective structure to protect the metal terminals and wires from corrosion, the metal terminals inside the wiring harness box are prone to corrosion during long-term operation of the refrigerator, which greatly shortens the lifespan of the refrigerator's fan motor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a lead wire protection mechanism for refrigerator fans that can prevent corrosion of metal terminals and improve the service life of fan motors.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: the lead wire protection mechanism on this refrigerator fan includes an upper housing and a lower housing; the lower housing is provided with two to four placement slots for placing wire harnesses and insertion slots for fixing metal terminals, the insertion slots communicating with the rear end of the placement slots; the upper housing is provided with two to four limiting slots for limiting the wire harnesses and injection holes, the limiting slots being adapted to the front end of the placement slots, the upper housing adapted to the placement slots being provided with an injection cavity, the injection holes communicating with the injection cavity; a protection unit and a snap-fit ​​unit are provided along the length direction of the upper housing and the lower housing, the upper housing and the lower housing being limited and fixed by the snap-fit ​​unit, and the protection unit being located inside the snap-fit ​​unit.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, by providing a support groove, injection cavity and injection hole in the upper and lower shells, corrosion of the metal terminals can be prevented when the refrigerator is running for a long time and accompanied by sufficient water vapor, thereby improving the service life of the fan motor; by setting a protective unit, the injection liquid will not flow out through the gap between the support groove and the wire harness, and the upper and lower shells are combined into one piece after injection molding, and by setting a snap-fit ​​unit, the upper and lower shells can be well limited during the assembly process.

[0006] Preferably, the support groove is arranged along the length direction of the lower housing, the insertion groove is arranged along the height direction of the lower housing, and a partition block is provided on the groove wall of the support groove. When the upper housing and the lower housing are closed, the upper part of the partition block is located inside the injection cavity. The orientation of the support groove and the insertion groove makes it easier to fix the wire harness and the metal terminal, and the partition block makes the injection liquid between the support grooves more evenly distributed during the filling process.

[0007] Preferably, the number of injection holes corresponds one-to-one with the number of support slots; this ensures that during the injection molding process, each support slot can be filled through its respective injection hole, and combined with the baffle block, the stability and flow intervals during the injection process are more uniform.

[0008] Preferably, the protective unit includes a groove on the upper housing and a groove on the lower housing. The two grooves are symmetrically distributed and perpendicular to the support groove and the injection cavity. The length of the groove is equal to the width of the injection cavity. By placing the protective unit in the grooves of the upper and lower housings, they are integrated after injection molding. The distribution structure of the grooves also prevents the injection molding liquid from flowing out through the gap between the support groove and the wire harness.

[0009] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​unit has two parts, namely a first snap-fit ​​unit and a second snap-fit ​​unit. The first snap-fit ​​unit and the second snap-fit ​​unit are located on both sides of the housing, respectively. The first snap-fit ​​unit is a plug-in type structure, and the second snap-fit ​​unit is a plug-in type structure. By setting two snap-fit ​​units and located on both sides of the housing, good positioning can be achieved during the assembly of the upper and lower housings.

[0010] Preferably, the first snap-fit ​​unit includes pin posts disposed on both sides of the upper housing and pin holes disposed on both sides of the lower housing, wherein the upper housing is inserted into the pin holes on the lower housing through the pin posts; the above structure makes the assembly process more convenient.

[0011] Preferably, the second snap-fit ​​unit includes a plug on the upper housing and a slot on the lower housing, wherein the upper housing is inserted into the slot on the lower housing via the plug; the above structure makes the assembly process more convenient.

[0012] Preferably, the outer peripheral walls of the upper and lower housings are provided with two rings of slots, and the slots are located on both sides of the injection hole; this allows the lead wire protection mechanism to be well limited during the assembly process with the fan, resulting in better stability after installation.
