[0015] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are only for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and to facilitate understanding and reading. They are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of this utility model and therefore have no substantial technical significance.

[0018] Example 1 like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an air conditioner control box installation structure, including: a mounting base 11 formed on the air conditioner bottom frame 10, and having a mounting cavity 12 for securing the control box body 20; a snap-fit ​​assembly 30, including a first snap-fit ​​portion 31 disposed on the control box body 20 and a second snap-fit ​​portion 32 disposed on the mounting base 11, wherein the first snap-fit ​​portion 31 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 32 are snap-fitted together to restrict the movement of the control box body 20 in the front-back direction and the left-right direction; and a insert assembly 40 for restricting the movement of the control box body 20 in the up-down direction.

[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, during installation, the control box 20 is first aligned with the mounting cavity 12 of the mounting base 11, and then inserted into the mounting cavity 12, gradually fitting it into the mounting base 11. As the control box 20 continues to be pushed in, the first snap-fit ​​portion 31 on the control box 20 engages with the second snap-fit ​​portion 32 on the mounting base 11, thereby limiting and fixing the control box 20 in the front-back and left-right directions. Furthermore, after the control box 20 is fully pushed into place, the insert assembly 40 restricts its displacement in the vertical direction, achieving stable fixation in three dimensions.

[0020] When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the electrical control box 20, simply separate the first latching part 31 from the second latching part 32, and then pull the electrical control box 20 outward to remove it from the mounting cavity 12. Through the above-described installation and disassembly method, this utility model not only achieves rapid assembly and stable installation of the air conditioner electrical control box 20, but also simplifies the installation operation process and improves convenience.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 2-3 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the first snap-fit ​​part 31 includes a deformable snap-fit ​​base 311 and a snap fastener 312 disposed on the snap-fit ​​base 311, and the second snap-fit ​​part 32 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 321, with the snap fastener 312 snapping into the snap-fit ​​groove 321. During installation, the snap fastener 312 can extend into the snap-fit ​​groove 321, utilizing the elasticity of the snap-fit ​​base 311 itself to achieve the snap-fit ​​engagement. Specifically, when the snap-fit ​​base 311 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 321, the snap-fit ​​base 311 undergoes elastic deformation due to the pressure from the side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 321. After the snap-fit ​​base 311 has completely passed through the snap-fit ​​groove 321, it returns to its original shape under its own rebound force, thereby snapping the snap fastener 312 into the end face of the snap-fit ​​groove 321, achieving reliable fixation of the electrical control box 20.

[0022] Furthermore, to further improve the smoothness of installation, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the buckle 312 and / or the slot 321 are provided with a guide structure 50, which is used to guide the buckle 312 to deform and engage during installation. Specifically, the guide structure 50 is preferably a guide slope or a guide arc surface; when installing the electrical control box 20, under the guidance of the guide structure 50, as the buckle seat 311 is inserted into the slot 321, the buckle seat 311 will deform under force, allowing the buckle 312 to slide smoothly into the slot 321 until the buckle 312 has completely passed through the slot 321. Then, the buckle seat 311 resets and the buckle 312 abuts tightly against the end face of the slot 321, thereby completing a stable lock; when it is necessary to disassemble or replace the electrical control box 20, the buckle 312 can be disengaged from the slot 321 by pressing or prying the deformable buckle seat 311, and the electrical control box 20 can be removed from the mounting cavity 12.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​portion 31 is preferably integrally injection molded or machined. By adopting an integral molding structure, separate assembly parts are eliminated, which not only improves the connection strength and overall rigidity between the first snap-fit ​​portion 31 and the electrical control box 20, but also effectively reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, resulting in a more compact structure and smaller footprint. At the same time, this design can also prevent connection loosening or displacement problems caused by long-term use, thereby improving the overall installation reliability and service life.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 2-3As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the insert assembly 40 includes multiple insertion portions 41 disposed on the electrical control box 20 and multiple limiting portions 42 disposed on the mounting base 11. The multiple limiting portions 42 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 12 together form a limiting channel. The multiple insertion portions 41 are inserted into the limiting channel and abut against the multiple limiting portions 42 one by one. In specific use, the multiple insertion portions 41 of the electrical control box 20 are first inserted into the limiting channel of the mounting base 11 to achieve initial positioning of the electrical control box 20; then, the electrical control box 20 is pushed so that the buckle 312 and the slot 321 engage with each other, thereby completing the reliable installation and locking of the electrical control box 20. Through this design, quick positioning is achieved first through the insertion and cooperation of the insertion portions 41 and the limiting channel, and then a stable locking is achieved through the engagement structure of the buckle 312 and the slot 321, making the entire installation process simpler and faster.

[0025] Furthermore, to further improve the smoothness of installation, the plug-in portion 41 and / or the limiting portion 42 are chamfered. Through the guiding effect of the chamfer, when the electrical control box 20 is pushed in along the installation direction, the plug-in portion 41 can smoothly enter the limiting channel under the guidance of the chamfer, effectively avoiding jamming or scratching caused by assembly deviations, thereby improving the smoothness of the overall assembly and ease of operation. Preferably, the plug-in portion 41 is a sheet-like structure extending in the vertical direction, and the limiting portion 42 is a limiting rib or limiting plate that fits with the sheet-like structure with a clearance fit. During installation, the sheet-like structure is inserted into the limiting channel formed between the limiting rib or limiting plate, achieving guidance and positioning through the clearance fit, thereby ensuring a smooth plugging process and effectively limiting the vertical displacement of the electrical control box 20 after installation, improving the stability and reliability of the fixation.

[0026] Furthermore, multiple support ribs 13 are formed on the inner surface of the mounting cavity 12 for contacting the electrical control box 20 to limit its swaying. Specifically, the multiple support ribs 13 provide lateral support to the electrical control box 20 after it is installed in place, thereby limiting its swaying or displacement within the mounting cavity 12. This design further improves the stability of the electrical control box 20 during operation and enhances the reliability of the overall structure. Preferably, the support ribs 13 are L-shaped. By adopting the L-shaped support rib design, the support surface can simultaneously contact the outer surface of the electrical control box 20 in both vertical and horizontal directions, which not only increases the support contact area but also effectively improves the limiting stability, thereby further preventing the electrical control box 20 from swaying or shifting within the mounting cavity 12 and improving the overall installation firmness.
