When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0045] Household appliances refer to various electrical devices used in homes and similar places. During the production and assembly of household appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators, the proper routing of pipes (such as refrigerant pipes in air conditioners and drain pipes in refrigerators) and wiring harnesses (such as power cords and control signal lines connecting electrical components) is a crucial aspect of ensuring product performance and safety. To prevent friction, collision, or displacement of pipes and wiring harnesses due to shaking during equipment operation, they must be secured.

[0046] In order to standardize the fixing components and simplify the operation, this utility model improves the fixing component 100 of the household appliance 1000. The fixing component 100 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] In this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The fixing component 100 is used to fix the conduit 200 and the wire harness 300. The fixing component 100 includes a main body 1, a wire harness holding part 2, and a conduit holding part 3. The main body 1 has a wire harness receiving cavity 11 and a conduit receiving cavity 12 arranged side by side. The wire harness holding part 2 is disposed in the wire harness receiving cavity 11, and at least a plurality of first wire harness slots 21 are formed on the wire harness holding part 2 for fixing the wire harness 300. The conduit holding part 3 is disposed in the conduit receiving cavity 12, and a plurality of conduit slots 31 of different sizes are formed on the conduit holding part 3 for accommodating conduits 200 of different diameters.

[0048] The fixing component 100 provided by this utility model has a wire harness receiving cavity 11 and a conduit receiving cavity 12 on the main body 1. A wire harness holding part 2 is provided in the wire harness receiving cavity 11 to hold and fix the wire harness 300; and a conduit holding part 3 is provided in the conduit receiving cavity 12 to hold and fix the conduit 200. In this way, during operation, the wire harness 300 and the conduit 200 can be directly inserted into the wire harness receiving cavity 11 and the conduit receiving cavity 12 respectively, and fixed by the wire harness holding part 2 and the conduit holding part 3, simplifying the operation steps and helping users to quickly complete the fixing work.

[0049] Furthermore, multiple first wire harness slots 21 can accommodate wire harnesses 300 of different diameters (single or multiple wires), and multiple conduit slots 31 of different sizes can accommodate conduits 200 of different diameters, eliminating the need to design dedicated fixing components for conduits 200 and wire harnesses 300 of different specifications. In other words, a single fixing component 100 can meet multiple fixing needs, reducing the types of fixing components, facilitating the standardization of fixing components, simplifying mass production and inventory management, and reducing production costs. Moreover, the fixing component 100 can be applied to various household appliances 1000, adapting to the fixing needs of conduits 200 and wire harnesses 300 in different scenarios, thus improving the applicability of the fixing component 100.

[0050] This utility model does not specifically limit the shape of the main body 1. In one embodiment, the main body 1 is configured as a clamping plate, on which a wire harness receiving cavity 11 and a pipe receiving cavity 12 are formed. In another embodiment, the main body 1 is configured as two clamps integrally formed.

[0051] In one embodiment, the main body 1 is configured as two integrally formed clamps. The clamps can be arc-shaped to fit the shapes of the conduit 200 and the wire harness 300. A first through hole 13 and a second through hole 14 are formed on the main body 1, respectively serving as the wire harness receiving cavity 11 and the conduit receiving cavity 12. In the radial direction, the main body 1 is provided with a first notch 15 connecting the first through hole 13 and a second notch 16 connecting the second through hole 14. Through the first notch 15 and the second notch 16, the wire harness 300 and the conduit 200 can be directly inserted radially into the corresponding receiving cavities without the need for sponge wrapping or cable ties, greatly simplifying the fixing operation and reducing production time.

[0052] Furthermore, the wire harness holding part 2 protrudes from the inner wall of the first through hole 13, and when the wire harness 300 is inserted into the first through hole 13 through the first notch 15, the wire harness holding part 2 can hold and fix the wire harness 300. The conduit holding part 3 protrudes from the inner wall of the second through hole 14, and when the conduit 200 is inserted into the second through hole 14 through the second notch 16, the conduit holding part 3 can hold and fix the conduit 200.

[0053] Understandably, the pipe 200 needs to be inserted into the pipe receiving cavity 12 through the second notch 16. However, pipes 200 of different diameters (especially thicker pipes 200) may be limited by the initial size of the notch when being inserted. By setting the main body 1 to be flexible at the periphery corresponding to the second notch 16, the flexible periphery can undergo elastic deformation under external force, temporarily widening the width of the second notch 16, allowing the pipe 200 to enter the pipe receiving cavity 12 more smoothly, reducing component damage caused by jamming or forced insertion, and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0054] Furthermore, the flexible periphery's deformation capability allows for adaptive adjustment of the size of the second notch 16, thus accommodating pipes 200 of various diameters. This ensures that pipes 200 of different specifications can smoothly pass through the notch and snap into the corresponding slot, eliminating the need for separate design for the notch size and further enhancing the component's versatility.

[0055] Simultaneously, after the pipe 200 is inserted into the target pipe slot 31, the flexible periphery can return to its original shape under elastic action, reducing the size of the second notch 16 and creating a "tightening" effect on the pipe 200. Combined with the clamping force of the pipe holding part 3 and the blocking effect of the first pipe anti-detachment part 51, it can effectively prevent the pipe 200 from accidentally detaching from the second notch 16 during equipment operation (such as vibration or shaking), improving the reliability of the fixation.

[0056] Similarly, the wire harness 300 needs to be inserted into or removed from the wire harness receiving cavity 11 through the first notch 15. The diameter and number of wire harnesses 300 vary (e.g., a single thick wire harness 300 or multiple thin wire harnesses 300 bundled together). By setting the main body 1 to be flexible at the periphery corresponding to the first notch 15, the flexible periphery can deform under external force, temporarily widening the first notch 15. This allows wire harnesses 300 of different specifications (especially thicker ones or multiple bundled wire harnesses 300) to pass smoothly through the notch, reducing jamming. After the operation is completed, the periphery returns to its original state, preventing the wire harness 300 from loosening due to an excessively large first notch 15, thus simplifying the fixing operation process.

[0057] Furthermore, the flexible design around the first notch 15 can accommodate the versatility of the first wire harness slot 21. By adjusting the size of the first notch 15, it can meet the entry and exit requirements of wire harnesses 300 with different diameters and quantities. There is no need to design the size of the first notch 15 separately for specific wire harness 300 specifications, which further improves the versatility of the fixing component 100 and reduces the types of component specifications.

[0058] Meanwhile, when the wire harness 300 is inserted into the first wire harness slot 21 of the target, the flexible periphery contracts under the action of elasticity, thereby reducing the channel width of the first notch 15, and forming a synergistic effect with the clamping force of the wire harness holding part 2, effectively preventing the wire harness 300 from accidentally coming out of the first notch 15 during the operation of the equipment, thus enhancing the stability of the wire harness 300.

[0059] Following the above, the wire harness 300 is inserted into the wire harness receiving cavity 11 through the first notch 15. Although the first wire harness slot 21 of the wire harness holding part 2 can hold and fix the wire harness 300, the wire harness 300 may be displaced along the direction of the first notch 15 due to external impact during equipment operation (such as vibration or shaking during transportation). The first wire harness anti-detachment part 41, as a protruding structure, can form a physical barrier at the connection between the first notch 15 and the wire harness receiving cavity 11, directly preventing the wire harness 300 from moving in the direction of the notch, avoiding its accidental detachment from the first notch 15, and ensuring that the wire harness 300 is always stably held in the first wire harness slot 21.

[0060] Furthermore, for wire harnesses with smaller diameters 300, the allowable movement within the first wire harness slot 21 is relatively large, resulting in a higher risk of detachment. The protrusion height and position design of the first wire harness anti-detachment part 41 can cover the movement trajectory of various wire harness 300 specifications. Regardless of the diameter of the wire harness 300, it can form effective protection through physical blocking, ensuring consistent anti-detachment effect for wire harnesses 300 of different specifications.

[0061] In the above structure, the periphery of the first notch 15 is flexibly designed. After the wire harness 300 is inserted, it can contract to reduce the notch size, but it may still undergo slight deformation due to continuous vibration. The first wire harness anti-detachment part 41 can form a "double protection" with the flexible periphery. The flexible periphery restricts the movement space of the wire harness 300 by contraction, while the first wire harness anti-detachment part 41 blocks the detachment path of the wire harness 300 through rigid protrusions. The two work together to further reduce the risk of the wire harness 300 becoming loose.

[0062] Similarly, the pipe 200 is inserted into the pipe receiving cavity 12 through the second notch 16. Although the pipe groove 31 of the pipe holding part 3 can hold and fix the pipe 200, during equipment operation or long-term use, the pipe 200 may be displaced along the direction of the second notch 16 due to external impact. The first pipe anti-detachment part 51, as a protruding structure, can form a rigid block at the connection between the second notch 16 and the pipe receiving cavity 12, directly blocking the movement path of the pipe 200 in the direction of the notch, preventing it from accidentally detaching from the second notch 16, and ensuring that the pipe 200 is always stably held in the matching pipe groove 31.

[0063] Furthermore, the pipe clamping part 3 is equipped with multiple pipe clamping slots 31 of varying sizes to accommodate pipes 200 of different diameters. For smaller diameter pipes 200, the allowable movement within the pipe clamping slots 31 is relatively large, increasing the risk of detachment. The protrusion height and position design of the first pipe anti-detachment part 51 can cover the movement trajectory of pipes 200 of different diameters. Regardless of the diameter of the pipe 200, it can form effective protection through physical obstruction, ensuring consistent anti-detachment effect for pipes 200 of different specifications.

[0064] In the above structure, the periphery of the second notch 16 is flexibly designed. After the pipe 200 is inserted, the second notch 16 can be reduced by elastic contraction. However, the periphery may undergo slight deformation due to continuous vibration. The first pipe anti-detachment part 51 can form "double protection" with the flexible periphery. The flexible periphery restricts the movement space of the pipe 200 by contraction, while the first pipe anti-detachment part 51 strengthens the blocking effect through rigid protrusions. The two work together to further reduce the risk of pipe 200 loosening, which is especially suitable for household appliances 1000 where the pipe 200 (such as refrigerant pipes) vibrates significantly.

[0065] It should be noted that the two technical features, the first wire harness anti-detachment part 41 and the first conduit anti-detachment part 51, can be provided selectively or simultaneously. In one embodiment, the first wire harness anti-detachment part 41 and the first conduit anti-detachment part 51 are provided simultaneously.

[0066] This utility model does not impose specific limitations on the formation of the wire harness holding part 2 and the first wire harness slot 21. In one embodiment, the wire harness holding part 2 includes a plurality of wire harness clips, which are arranged circumferentially along the wire harness receiving cavity 11, and each wire harness clip forms a first wire harness slot 21.

[0067] To facilitate the insertion of the wire harness 300 into the wire harness receiving cavity 11, the main body 1 has a first notch 15 on one side in the first direction F1, which communicates with the wire harness receiving cavity 11, for the wire harness 300 to be inserted and removed. Based on the above structure, it can be seen that the first direction F1 is configured as the radial direction.

[0068] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The wire harness holding part 2 is located on the inner wall of the wire harness receiving cavity 11 and is directly opposite to the first notch 15. It is understood that the first notch 15 provides a radial entry and exit channel for the wire harness 300, allowing it to be directly inserted or removed along the notch direction, significantly simplifying the loading and unloading process. Simultaneously, the alignment of the wire harness holding part 2 with the first notch 15 allows operators to visually observe the alignment of the wire harness 300 with the slot, facilitating the rapid insertion of the wire harness 300 into the target first wire harness slot 21, reducing operation time, and is particularly suitable for rapid assembly operations on production lines.

[0069] In one embodiment, the wire harness holding part 2 includes two wire harness holding plates 22 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart in the second direction F2. Each wire harness holding plate 22 has a plurality of first recesses formed in the first direction F1, and the first recesses on the two wire harness holding plates 22 face each other to form a plurality of first wire harness slots 21.

[0070] In this embodiment, two relatively spaced wire harness clamping plates 22 form a "clamping" structure. The two clamping plates 22 form multiple opposing first recesses in the first direction F1, corresponding to multiple first wire harness slots 21. By having the contours of the first recesses fit against the outer periphery of the wire harness 300, a radial constraint is formed on the inserted wire harness 300, thereby stably confining the wire harness 300 within the slot, reducing displacement of the wire harness 300 due to vibration, and preventing frictional wear between the wire harness 300 and the conduit 200 or other components.

[0071] As mentioned above, since the wire harness holding part 2 is directly opposite the first notch 15, the entry and exit paths of the first wire harness slot 21 and the first notch 15 are in a straight line, thus avoiding structural interference. At the same time, the multiple first wire harness slots 21 are arranged in the first direction F1, which can integrate multiple fixing positions in a limited space, realize the orderly arrangement of multiple wire harnesses 300, and reduce the safety hazards caused by the messy accumulation of wire harnesses 300.

[0072] Specifically, the wire harness clamp 22 has a plurality of continuous first arc segments 221 in the first direction F1. The first arc segments 221 of the two wire harness clamps 22 correspond one to one. In the corresponding two first arc segments 221, the first arc concave surfaces of the two are arranged opposite each other to form two opposing first concave portions.

[0073] In practical applications, the outer periphery of the wire harness 300 is typically arc-shaped. The concave surface of the first arc segment 221 can form a surface contact with the outer periphery of the wire harness 300, thereby increasing the contact area between the first arc segment 221 and the wire harness 300 and reducing the wobbling space of the wire harness 300 within the first wire harness slot 21. Simultaneously, the opposing concave surfaces of the two first arc segments 221 can create a uniform radial constraint force on the inserted wire harness 300, preventing damage to the wire harness 300 caused by localized stress concentration and ensuring a stable fixed state.

[0074] Meanwhile, the structure of multiple consecutive first arc segments 221 can reduce stress concentration in the wire harness clamp 22 during repeated loading and unloading (especially when the wire harness clamp 22 is made of elastic material). Compared with right angles or zigzag recesses, the arc transition can disperse the external force, reduce the risk of fatigue damage to the wire harness clamp 22 due to deformation, extend the service life of the fixing component 100, and meet the needs of long-term use of household appliances 1000.

[0075] Furthermore, the smooth transition structure of the first arc segment 221 guides the inserted wire harness 300. When the wire harness 300 moves from the first notch 15 to the first wire harness slot 21, the arc concave surface can guide the wire harness 300 to slide into the target position along the curved surface, reducing jamming and improving assembly efficiency.

[0076] This invention does not impose specific limitations on the configuration of the first arc-shaped segment 221. In one embodiment, the dimensions of multiple first arc-shaped segments 221 can be differentiated (e.g., different recess depths and curvatures), allowing multiple first wire harness slots 21 to accommodate wire harnesses 300 of different diameters (e.g., single thin wires, multiple parallel signal lines, etc.). This design enables a single fixing component 100 to meet the fixing requirements of various wire harnesses 300 without replacing parts, thus improving the versatility of the component.

[0077] In another embodiment, the plurality of first arc-shaped segments 221 are of the same size, thus forming a plurality of first wire harness slots 21 of the same size. Simultaneously, a second wire harness slot 23 is formed between the first arc-shaped convex surface of the first arc-shaped segment 221 and the inner wall of the wire harness receiving cavity 11, for holding and fixing the wire harness 300. Furthermore, a third wire harness slot 24 is formed between the two wire harness clamping plates 22 near the connection between the inner wall of the wire harness receiving cavity 11 and the wire harness clamping part 2.

[0078] In this embodiment, the convex surface of the first arc-shaped segment 221 and the inner wall of the wire harness receiving cavity 11 form a second wire harness slot 23. Simultaneously, the two wire harness retaining plates 22 also form a third wire harness slot 24 at the non-arc-shaped segment positions. The second wire harness slot 23 and the third wire harness slot 24 supplement the first wire harness slot 21. Without increasing the overall volume of the component, the unused space within the wire harness receiving cavity 11 is utilized, increasing the number of wire harnesses 300 that can be fixed, allowing a single fixing component 100 to simultaneously fix more wire harnesses 300.

[0079] Meanwhile, the first wire harness slot 21, the second wire harness slot 23, and the third wire harness slot 24 have different spatial dimensions, which can accommodate a single large-diameter wire harness 300, a single small-diameter wire harness 300, or multiple small-diameter wire harnesses 300 side by side. This "main and auxiliary slot" combination design enables the fixing component 100 to meet more complex wire harness 300 fixing needs, without the need to design a separate fixing component for special specification wire harnesses 300, further improving the standardization level.

[0080] Furthermore, the first wire harness slot 21 and the second wire harness slot 23 can not only fix different types of wire harnesses 300 respectively, but also physically isolate the fixed wire harnesses 300, thereby reducing signal interference or friction wear between different wire harnesses 300. For example, inserting high-voltage power lines into the second wire harness slot 23 and low-voltage signal lines into the first wire harness slot 21 can ensure the reliability of the fixation and improve the operational safety of electrical equipment.

[0081] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the fixing component 100 and the wire harness 300. For example, when it is necessary to hold an odd number of small-diameter wire harnesses 300 (wire harness 300 diameter 2.4mm~2.8mm), a single small-diameter wire harness 300 can be held in the third wire harness slot 24, and the remaining even number of small-diameter wire harnesses 300 are held in pairs in one of the first wire harness slots 21. Large-diameter wire harnesses 300 (wire harness 300 diameter greater than 4.0mm) that need to be fixed can be held in the second wire harness slot 23.

[0082] The wire harness 300 is inserted into the first wire harness slot 21 to prevent it from loosening or detaching within the slot. In one embodiment, the wire harness retaining plate 22 has a first end near the first notch 15, and the two retaining plates 22 are bent and brought together at a partial location near the first end to form a second wire harness anti-detachment portion 42. For example, when two 2.4mm wire harnesses 300 are placed in the first wire harness slot 21, the opening spacing of the second wire harness anti-detachment portion 42 is generally set to 1.8mm, which can prevent a single wire harness 300 from loosening or detaching within the second wire harness slot 23.

[0083] Furthermore, based on the above structure, the wire harness clamping plate 22 has a plurality of continuous first arc-shaped segments 221 in the first direction F1, and the connection of the two arc-shaped concave surfaces of two adjacent first arc-shaped segments 221 can form a third wire harness anti-detachment part 43 to prevent the wire harnesses 300 in the two adjacent first wire harness clamping slots 21 from moving around with each other.

[0084] A fourth wire harness anti-detachment part 44 can be formed between the highest point of the arc-shaped convex surface and the inner wall of the wire harness receiving cavity 11 to prevent the wire harness 300 in the second wire harness slot 23 from becoming loose or detaching. For example, when a 4.0mm wire harness 300 is placed in the second wire harness slot 23, the distance between the highest point of the arc-shaped convex surface and the inner wall of the wire harness receiving cavity 11 is approximately 3.0mm, which can prevent the wire harness 300 in the second wire harness slot 23 from becoming loose or detaching.

[0085] Continuing on the above, the two wire harness retaining plates 22 form the first wire harness retaining groove 21 by providing a continuous first arc-shaped segment 221. Therefore, the size of the entrance of the two wire harness retaining plates 22 is smaller than the size of the first wire harness retaining groove 21. In order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the wire harness 300 into the first wire harness retaining groove 21, in one embodiment, the wire harness retaining plates 22 can undergo elastic deformation, so that the two wire harness retaining plates 22 can relatively expand or retract at least at the positions corresponding to the first recess.

[0086] In this embodiment, the elastic deformation design makes the insertion process of the wire harness 300 smoother. During insertion, the wire harness clamping plate 22 can automatically expand under external force, reducing obstruction to the wire harness 300; after insertion, the wire harness clamping plate 22 restores its deformation and generates a continuous elastic clamping force, making the first arc-shaped concave surface fit tightly against the outer periphery of the wire harness 300, reducing gaps. In this way, the wire harness 300 can be effectively prevented from loosening or shifting, taking into account both ease of operation and reliable fixation.

[0087] Meanwhile, household appliances 1000 inevitably generate vibrations during operation (such as when the air conditioner compressor or washing machine motor is working). If the wiring harness 300 is rigidly fixed, the insulation layer is easily worn due to vibration and friction. The design of the elastically deformable wiring harness clamp 22 can absorb some of the vibration energy through elastic deformation, reduce the impact force on the wiring harness 300, and avoid damage to the wiring harness 300 caused by rigid compression, thus extending the service life of the wiring harness 300.

[0088] Furthermore, after long-term use, the wire harness 300 may undergo slight changes in size due to changes in ambient temperature (such as alternating hot and cold) or slight stretching. The elastic deformation capability of the wire harness clamp 22 can adapt to such changes, maintaining the clamping force on it by expanding or contracting, avoiding the impact on the safe operation of the equipment due to loose fixation, and improving the durability and stability of the fixing component 100.

[0089] This utility model does not impose specific limitations on the formation of the pipe holding part 3 and the pipe slot 31. In one embodiment, the pipe holding part 3 includes a plurality of pipe clips, which are arranged circumferentially along the pipe receiving cavity 12, and each pipe clip forms a pipe slot 31.

[0090] To facilitate the insertion of the pipe 200 into the pipe receiving cavity 12, the main body 1 has a second notch 16 on one side in the first direction F1, which communicates with the pipe receiving cavity 12, for the pipe 200 to be inserted and removed. Based on the above structure, it can be seen that the first direction F1 is configured as radial.

[0091] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 6 The pipe clamping part 3 is located on the inner wall of the pipe receiving cavity 12 and is directly opposite to the second notch 16. It is understood that the second notch 16 provides a radial entry and exit channel for the pipe 200, allowing the pipe 200 to be directly inserted or removed along the notch direction, significantly simplifying the loading and unloading process. Simultaneously, the alignment of the pipe clamping part 3 with the second notch 16 allows operators to visually observe the alignment of the pipe 200 with the clamping slot, facilitating the rapid insertion of the pipe 200 into the target pipe clamping slot 31, reducing operation time, and is particularly suitable for rapid assembly operations on production lines.

[0092] In one embodiment, the pipe holding part 3 includes two pipe holding plates 32 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart in the second direction F2. Each pipe holding plate 32 forms a plurality of second recesses in the first direction F1. The second recesses on the two pipe holding plates 32 face each other to form a plurality of second wire harness slots 23. In the direction near the second notch 16, the two pipe holding plates 32 are relatively outwardly oriented so that the diameter of the plurality of second wire harness slots 23 gradually increases in the direction near the second notch 16.

[0093] In this embodiment, two relatively spaced pipe clamping plates 32 form a "clamping" structure. Multiple opposing second recesses are formed on the two pipe clamping plates 32 in the first direction F1, corresponding to multiple pipe clamping slots 31. The contours of the second recesses fit against the outer periphery of the pipe 200, creating a radial constraint on the inserted pipe 200. This stably confines the pipe 200 within the pipe clamping slots 31, reducing displacement of the pipe 200 due to vibration and preventing frictional wear between the pipe 200 and the wire harness 300 or other components.

[0094] As mentioned above, since the pipe clamping part 3 is directly opposite the second notch 16, the entry and exit paths of the pipe clamping groove 31 and the second notch 16 are in a straight line, thus avoiding structural interference. At the same time, multiple pipe clamping grooves 31 are arranged in the first direction F1, which can integrate multiple fixing positions in a limited space to adapt to pipes 200 with different diameters.

[0095] Furthermore, the second recesses of the two pipe clamping plates 32 form multiple pipe clamping slots 31 facing each other, and the diameter of the pipe clamping slots 31 gradually increases along the direction approaching the second notch 16. This design allows a single fixing component 100 to simultaneously accommodate pipes 200 of various diameters. Thinner pipes 200 can be inserted into the smaller diameter slots on the inner side (away from the second notch 16), while thicker pipes 200 can be inserted into the larger diameter slots on the outer side (closer to the second notch 16). This eliminates the need for separate fixing components for different pipe diameters, significantly improving the versatility of the component.

[0096] Meanwhile, the pipe clamp 32 near the second notch 16 is relatively outwardly flared, causing the diameter of the pipe clamp 31 to gradually increase from the inside out, forming a clear size gradient. Operators can directly determine the suitable pipe clamp 31 from the second notch 16 based on the pipe diameter 200. For example, the larger the pipe diameter, the easier it is to match the larger pipe clamp 31 closer to the second notch 16. Thus, there is no need to repeatedly try different pipe clamps 31, enabling one-time alignment and rapid fixing, significantly reducing operation time, and making it particularly suitable for mass production scenarios.

[0097] Specifically, the pipe clamp 32 has a plurality of continuous second arc segments 321 in the first direction F1. The second arc segments 321 of the two pipe clamps 32 correspond one to one. In the corresponding two second arc segments 321, the second arc concave surfaces of the two are arranged opposite each other to form two opposing second concave portions.

[0098] In practical applications, the outer periphery of the conduit 200 is typically arc-shaped. The concave surface of the second arc segment 321 can form a surface contact with the outer periphery of the conduit 200, thereby increasing the contact area between the second arc segment 321 and the conduit 200 and reducing the swaying space of the conduit 200 within the second wire harness slot 23. Simultaneously, the opposing concave surfaces of the two second arc segments 321 can create a uniform radial constraint force on the inserted conduit 200, preventing damage to the conduit 200 caused by localized stress concentration and ensuring a stable fixed state.

[0099] Meanwhile, the structure of multiple consecutive second arc-shaped segments 321 can reduce stress concentration in the pipe clamp 32 during repeated loading and unloading (especially when the pipe clamp 32 is made of elastic material). Compared with right angles or zigzag recesses, the arc transition can disperse external forces, reduce the risk of fatigue damage to the pipe clamp 32 due to deformation, extend the service life of the fixing component 100, and meet the needs of long-term use of household appliances 1000.

[0100] Furthermore, the smooth transition structure of the second arc segment 321 guides the inserted pipe 200. When the pipe 200 moves from the second notch 16 to the pipe slot 31, the arc concave surface can guide the pipe 200 to slide into the target position along the curved surface, reducing jamming and improving assembly efficiency.

[0101] The following is combined Figures 4 to 6 The assembly of the fixing component 100 and the conduit 200 will be described. Three consecutive second arc-shaped segments 321 are provided on the conduit clamp 32, thereby forming three conduit slots 31. Furthermore, the three conduit slots 31 gradually increase in size in the direction approaching the second notch 16. For example, please refer to... Figure 4 The innermost pipe clamping slot 31 can hold pipes 200 up to 8mm in diameter. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The central pipe clamp 31 can hold pipes 200 up to 12mm in diameter. (See also...) Figure 6 The outermost pipe slot 31 can hold pipes 200 with a diameter of 12mm or more.

[0102] Furthermore, based on the above structure, the pipe clamping plate 32 has a plurality of continuous second arc-shaped segments 321 in the first direction F1, and the connection of the two arc-shaped concave surfaces of two adjacent second arc-shaped segments 321 can form a second pipe anti-detachment part 52 to prevent the pipe 200 from moving into the adjacent pipe clamping groove 31.

[0103] For example, please see Figure 4 The innermost pipe clamping groove 31 can hold pipes 200 with a diameter of 8mm or less, and the opening distance between the corresponding second pipe anti-detachment parts 52 is less than 7mm. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The central pipe clamping groove 31 can hold pipes 200 up to 12mm in diameter, and the opening spacing between the corresponding second pipe anti-detachment parts 52 is less than 9mm. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The outermost pipe slot 31 can hold pipes 200 with a diameter of 12mm or more. At this time, the first pipe anti-detachment part 51 formed on the inner wall of the second through hole 14 near the second notch 16 limits the pipe 200 to prevent detachment. The opening distance between the first pipe anti-detachment parts 51 is less than 9mm.

[0104] Continuing on the above, the two pipe clamping plates 32 form the pipe clamping groove 31 by providing continuous second arc-shaped segments 321. Therefore, the size of the inlet of the two pipe clamping plates 32 is smaller than the size of the pipe clamping groove 31. In order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the wire harness 300 into the pipe clamping groove 31, in one embodiment, the pipe clamping plates 32 can undergo elastic deformation, so that the two pipe clamping plates 32 can relatively expand or retract at least at the positions corresponding to the second recess.

[0105] In this embodiment, the elastic deformation design makes the insertion process of the pipe 200 smoother. During insertion, the pipe clamping plate 32 can automatically expand under external force, reducing obstruction to the pipe 200; after insertion, the pipe clamping plate 32 restores its deformation and generates a continuous elastic clamping force, making the second arc-shaped concave surface fit tightly against the outer periphery of the pipe 200, reducing gaps. In this way, the pipe 200 can be effectively prevented from loosening or shifting, taking into account both ease of operation and reliable fixation.

[0106] Meanwhile, household appliances 1000 inevitably vibrate during operation, and if pipes 200 are rigidly fixed, the insulation layer is easily worn due to vibration and friction. The design of a pipe clamp 32 that can elastically deform can absorb some of the vibration energy through elastic deformation, reduce the impact force on pipes 200, and avoid damage to pipes 200 caused by rigid compression, thus extending the service life of pipes 200.

[0107] Furthermore, after long-term use, the pipe 200 may undergo slight dimensional changes due to changes in ambient temperature (such as alternating hot and cold) or slight stretching. The elastic deformation capability of the pipe clamp 32 can adapt to such changes, maintaining the clamping force on it by expanding or contracting, avoiding the impact on equipment operation safety due to loose fixing, and improving the durability and stability of the fixing component 100.

[0108] This utility model also provides a household appliance 1000. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 The household appliance 1000 includes an appliance body (not shown in the figure), a conduit 200, a wiring harness 300, and a fixing assembly 100. The conduit 200 is connected to the appliance body. The wiring harness 300 is used to connect the appliance body to an external power source. The fixing assembly 100 is used to fix the conduit 200 and the wiring harness 300.

[0109] It should be noted that the fixing component 100 is configured as described above, which includes all the technical features of the fixing component 100. Therefore, the household appliance 1000 also includes all the technical features of the fixing component 100, and thus has the technical effects brought about by all the technical features described above.

[0110] During operation, the wire harness 300 and conduit 200 can be directly inserted into the wire harness receiving cavity 11 and conduit receiving cavity 12 respectively, and fixed using the wire harness holding part 2 and the conduit holding part 3, simplifying the operation steps and allowing users to quickly complete the fixing work. Furthermore, the multiple first wire harness slots 21 can accommodate wire harnesses 300 of different diameters (single or multiple wires), and the multiple conduit slots 31 of different sizes can accommodate conduits 200 of different diameters, eliminating the need to design dedicated fixing components for conduits 200 and wire harnesses 300 of different specifications.

[0111] In other words, a single fixing component 100 can meet a variety of fixing needs, reducing the types of fixing parts, which is conducive to the standardization of fixing parts, facilitates large-scale production and inventory management, and reduces production costs. Moreover, the fixing component 100 can be applied to a variety of household appliances 1000, and is adapted to the fixing needs of pipes 200 and wire harnesses 300 in different scenarios, improving the applicability of the fixing component 100.

[0112] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
