Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0019] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an electrical control box 10 is proposed, including a box body 1, a terminal block 2 and a pre-fixed structure. The box body 1 has an installation cavity, which is mainly used to install components such as the main control board and the terminal block 2. The terminal block 2 is located inside the box body 1 and has wiring terminals or plug interfaces for introducing or leading wires to realize the connection between the electrical control system and external power supply or control signals. The pre-fixing structure includes a pre-fixing part 3 and a first mating part 4. One of the housing 1 and the terminal block 2 is provided with the pre-fixing part 3, and the other of the housing 1 and the terminal block 2 is provided with the first mating part 4. That is, the pre-fixing part 3 is provided on the housing 1, and the first mating part 4 is correspondingly provided on the terminal block 2, or the pre-fixing part 3 is provided on the terminal block 2, and the first mating part 4 is correspondingly provided on the housing 1. The pre-fixing part 3 and the first mating part 4 cooperate to pre-fix the terminal block 2. The two achieve mechanical positioning and constraint through structural cooperation, so that the position of the terminal block 2 is limited and stabilized before it is completely fixed to the housing 1, which facilitates the subsequent fixed connection.

[0023] The electrical control box 10 of this utility model has a pre-fixing structure, including a pre-fixing part 3 and a first mating part 4. The pre-fixing part 3 and the first mating part 4 are respectively set on one of the box body 1 and the other of the terminal block 2. The two cooperate with each other to effectively pre-fix the terminal block 2 during the installation process, thereby restricting the upward movement and rotation of the terminal block 2 during assembly, preventing the terminal block 2 from loosening or shifting, ensuring that the screw holes between the terminal block 2 and the box body 1 are accurately aligned, and the screws can be tightened smoothly without manual pressing, thus improving the assembly convenience and installation efficiency of the terminal block 2.

[0024] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pre-fixing part 3 includes at least one snap-fit ​​member 31. The snap-fit ​​member 31 is disposed on the inner wall of the box body 1, and a locking space 32 is formed between the snap-fit ​​member 31 and the inner wall of the box body 1. That is, after the snap-fit ​​member 31 extends from the inner wall of the box body 1 toward the interior space of the box body 1, it forms a limiting or snap-fit ​​area with a certain width and depth between itself and the surface of the inner wall of the box body 1, namely the locking space 32. The first mating part 4 is the side wall of the terminal block 2. A part of the structure of the terminal block 2 itself is directly used as a component that mates with the pre-fixing part 3, without the need for additional parts or structures, thus reducing the number of parts and assembly steps. When the terminal block 2 is installed on the box body 1, its outer side wall is guided and inserted into the locking space 32 formed by the snap-fit ​​member 31 and the inner wall of the box body 1, thereby realizing snap-fit ​​and limiting.

[0025] In other embodiments, the number of snap-fit ​​pieces 31 may be two, three, etc. Multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 31 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the inner wall of the housing 1, which can simultaneously restrict the movement of the terminal block 2 from multiple positions, thereby improving the installation stability, anti-displacement ability and assembly reliability of the terminal block 2.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the snap-fit ​​component 31 includes an elastic arm 311 and a snap hook portion 312. The elastic arm 311 is connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, and the snap hook portion 312 is provided at one end of the elastic arm 311 away from the inner wall of the box body. The elastic arm 311, the snap hook portion 312 and the inner wall of the box body 1 form a snap-fit ​​space 32.

[0027] Specifically, the elastic arm 311 has an L-shaped cross-section, including a first arm segment 3111 and a second arm segment 3112. One end of the first arm segment 3111 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 and extends along the inner wall of the housing, while the other end is connected to the second arm segment 3112. The second arm segment 3112 is perpendicular to the first arm segment 3111. The elastic arm 311 is a thin sheet-like structural arm with a certain degree of flexibility or elasticity, made of plastic or engineering plastic with a certain degree of elasticity. It can produce a certain degree of elastic deformation under external force and can return to its original shape after the external force disappears. The hook part 312 is bent in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the second arm segment 3112. After the terminal block 2 enters the locking space 32, the hook part 312 forms an inward locking force on the side wall of the terminal block 2 to prevent it from falling out or rotating. The elastic arm 311 and the latch 312 are integrally formed with the housing 1 through injection molding. This integrated structure reduces the assembly gap or connection failure risk between the elastic arm 311, the latch 312, and the housing 1, while also reducing the number of parts and assembly steps, thus improving the overall compactness and reliability. When installing the terminal block 2, the side wall of the terminal block 2 contacts the elastic arm 311, and during the continued insertion, a certain pushing or squeezing force is applied to the elastic arm 311. After being subjected to force, the elastic arm 311 undergoes a certain elastic deformation, allowing the side wall of the terminal block 2 to smoothly enter the locking space 32. Once the side wall of the terminal block 2 is fully inside the locking space 32, the elastic arm 311 returns to its original position under its own elastic force, and the latch 312 provides an inward limiting effect on the side wall of the terminal block 2, thereby locking the side wall of the terminal block 2 within the locking space 32.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a guide surface is provided at the end of the hook portion away from the first arm segment 3111. The guide surface is an inclined surface, and the end of the guide surface away from the second arm segment 3112 is closer to the first arm segment 3111 than the end of the guide surface closer to the second arm segment 3112. By providing the guide surface 3121, a smooth guiding effect can be formed on the side wall during the insertion of the terminal block 2, making it easier for the side wall of the terminal block 2 to slide more accurately into the locking space 32, reducing insertion resistance, improving the smoothness of assembly and ease of operation, and at the same time helping to achieve rapid and accurate pre-fixation of the terminal block 2.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, two slots 11 are provided at intervals along the extension direction of the side wall of the housing 1, and the two slots 11 are respectively located on both sides of the elastic arm 311. When the side wall of the terminal block 2 is inserted into the locking space 32, a certain pushing or squeezing force is applied to the elastic arm 311. At this time, the elastic arm 311 needs to undergo a certain elastic deformation to accommodate the terminal block 2. By providing slots 11 on both sides of the elastic arm 311, the material strength of the side wall of the housing 1 on both sides of the elastic arm 311 is weakened, making it easier for the elastic arm 311 to open to both sides when subjected to force, thereby reducing the force required for the deformation of the elastic arm 311, making it easier for the terminal block 2 to slide into the locking space 32, and improving the smoothness of assembly and the convenience of operation.

[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, the electrical control box 10 further includes a limiting structure, which includes two limiting ribs 12 disposed on the box body 1 and spaced apart in a direction parallel to the extension direction of the side wall. Both limiting ribs extend in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the side wall, and the terminal block 2 is located between the two limiting ribs 12.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting zone is formed between the two limiting ribs 12. During installation, the outer wall of the terminal block 2 is confined within this limiting zone between the two limiting ribs 12. That is, both sides of the terminal block 2 contact or maintain a small clearance fit with the sides of the two limiting ribs 12, thereby preventing the terminal block 2 from shifting left or right in a direction parallel to the extension direction of the side wall. In addition, during the insertion of the terminal block 2 into the housing 1, the limiting ribs 12 first contact the outer wall of the terminal block 2, providing initial lateral guidance, allowing the terminal block 2 to smoothly slide into the locking space 32 of the pre-fixed structure along the extension direction of the limiting ribs 12, further improving assembly efficiency and enhancing the stability of the pre-fixing effect.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, the electrical control box 10 further includes a positioning structure, which includes a positioning part 51 and a second mating part 52. One of the box body 1 and the terminal block 2 is provided with the positioning part 51, and the other is provided with the second mating part 52. That is, the positioning part 51 is provided on the box body 1, and the second mating part 52 is provided on the terminal block 2; or, the positioning part 51 is provided on the terminal block 2, and the second mating part 52 is provided on the box body 1. The positioning part 51 and the second mating part 52 cooperate to position the terminal block 2. When the terminal block 2 is installed on the box body 1, the positioning part 51 and the second mating part 52 first contact and cooperate. Through the structural matching of the two, the installation position of the terminal block 2 on the box body 1 is positioned, ensuring that it is in the preset correct installation area, improving assembly efficiency and connection reliability.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning part 51 includes at least one positioning hole disposed on the housing 1, and the second mating part 52 includes a positioning boss 521 disposed on the bottom of the terminal block 2, the positioning boss 521 being adapted to the positioning hole.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a first positioning hole 511 is provided on the housing 1. Its shape can be circular, square, or other irregular shapes, providing a precise positioning reference. The second mating part 52 is a positioning boss 521 located at the bottom of the terminal block 2. The positioning boss 521 is adapted to the first positioning hole 511, and its size is tightly fitted with the inner diameter of the first positioning hole 511. The positioning boss 521 is used to insert into the positioning hole to achieve positional constraint. When the terminal block 2 is installed on the housing 1, the positioning boss 521 at the bottom of the terminal block 2 aligns with the first positioning hole 511 on the housing 1 and is inserted downwards so that the positioning boss 521 is embedded in the first positioning hole 511, accurately positioning the installation position of the terminal block 2, effectively limiting the horizontal displacement of the terminal block 2, preventing positional changes of the terminal block 2 due to external force or improper operation during installation, and improving assembly accuracy and reliability. The number of the first positioning hole 511 and the positioning boss 521 can also be set to two, three, etc., respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the box body 1 is also provided with multiple second positioning holes 512. By providing multiple second positioning holes 512, different specifications of terminal blocks 2 can be adapted. By using the position and number of positioning holes to match the different positioning bosses 521 on the bottom of the terminal block 2, the precise positioning of different terminal blocks 2 can be achieved, thereby enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the electrical control box 10.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the electrical control box 10 further includes a connection structure, which includes a connector, a first connection hole 61 disposed on the terminal block 2 and a second connection hole 62 disposed on the box body 1. The connector passes through the first connection hole 61 and connects to the second connection hole 62 along the insertion direction.

[0037] Specifically, the first connecting hole 61 is provided on the terminal block 2, and is a through hole or threaded hole, for the connector to pass through or screw into. The second connecting hole 62 is provided on the housing 1 and aligned with the first connecting hole 61 on the terminal block 2. Its position and size are adapted to the connector and the first connecting hole 61, and it is used to cooperate with the connector to achieve connection. The connector includes a screw, and the insertion direction refers to the direction of movement of the connector to insert into and connect the first connecting hole 61 and the second connecting hole 62, that is, the screw is inserted downward from the top of the housing 1. After the terminal block 2 is initially positioned by the elastic arm 311 and the positioning structure, the operator passes the screw through the first connecting hole 61 on the terminal block 2 along the insertion direction and threadedly connects it with the second connecting hole 62 on the housing 1, thereby fixing the terminal block 2 to the housing 1. The connection structure provides a reliable mechanical connection force through the connector, so that the terminal block 2 and the box 1 fit tightly together, ensuring that the two will not loosen or separate during vibration, impact or long-term use, thus achieving the final firm fixation of the terminal block 2 and the box 1. This ensures the long-term reliable assembly of the terminal block 2 of the electrical control box 10, and also allows the terminal block 2 to be easily removed from the box 1 when it needs to be disassembled for maintenance.

[0038] The second aspect of this utility model provides an indoor air conditioning unit, which includes a housing and the aforementioned electrical control box 10. The housing includes a front frame and a panel. The panel is located at the front of the front frame, covering and protecting the front surface of the front frame, and can be opened to expose the front surface of the front frame when needed. The front frame has a mounting cavity with an open end, and the electrical control box 10 is installed in the mounting cavity through the open end. The electrical control box 10 is provided with a pre-fixing structure including a pre-fixing part 3 and a first mating part 4. The pre-fixing part 3 and the first mating part 4 are respectively provided on one of the housing 1 and the terminal block 2. The two cooperate with each other to effectively pre-fix the terminal block 2 during installation, thereby limiting the upward movement and rotation of the terminal block 2 during assembly, preventing the terminal block 2 from loosening or shifting, ensuring precise alignment of the screw holes between the terminal block 2 and the housing 1, and enabling screw tightening smoothly without manual pressing, thus improving the assembly convenience and installation efficiency of the terminal block 2.

[0039] The third aspect of this utility model provides an air conditioner, including the aforementioned electrical control box 10, or including the aforementioned indoor air conditioner unit, and also including an outdoor air conditioner unit. The outdoor air conditioner unit includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, a four-way valve, an expansion valve, etc. The compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger, the four-way valve, the expansion valve, and the indoor heat exchanger are connected through refrigerant pipelines to form a refrigeration / heating system.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
