  • Publication number: 20240151438
    Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus includes an outdoor unit including a compressor configured to compress refrigerant, a relay unit connected to the outdoor unit, and an indoor unit connected to the relay unit. The compressor is driven to circulate the refrigerant between the outdoor unit, the relay unit, and the indoor unit. The air-conditioning apparatus includes a supplementary heat source unit in parallel with the indoor unit and connected to the relay unit. The outdoor unit includes an outdoor heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger and a fluid. The supplementary heat source unit includes a supplementary heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant flowing through the supplementary heat exchanger and hot water.

  • Publication number: 20230100442
    Abstract: The present invention aims to stably arrange a ferrite core in a housing. A connector 10 includes a ferrite core 12, and a housing 11 including a receiving portion 20 that receives the ferrite core 12. At least one of an inner peripheral surface 23 of the receiving portion 20 and an outer peripheral surface 12A of the ferrite core 12 includes a protrusion (first protrusion 21, for example) that is in contact with the other peripheral surface so as to hold the ferrite core 12 within the receiving portion 20.

  • Publication number: 20230102502
    Abstract: The present invention aims to stably arrange a terminal fitting in a ferrite core. A connector includes a housing, a ferrite core, and a terminal fitting. The ferrite core includes a first hole that penetrates the ferrite core. The housing includes a receiving portion that receives the ferrite core, and a second hole that is arranged in front of the first hole of the ferrite core received in the receiving portion. The terminal fitting includes a tubular portion extending from the inside of the first hole to the inside of the second hole. At least one of an inner peripheral surface of the second hole and an outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion includes a protrusion (for example, a second protrusion) that is in contact with the other peripheral surface so as to hold the tubular portion within the second hole.

  • Patent number: 11482849
    Abstract: A wire cover 1 includes a first cover member 2 and a second cover member 3 for covering wires W in a united state. Each of the first and second cover members includes wire paths 12, 13, restricting portions 20, 21 and escaping spaces 22, 23. In the united state, the restricting portions 20, 21 of the first cover member 2 project toward the second cover member 3 and the restricting portions 20, 21 of the second cover member 3 project toward the first cover member 2. The restricting portions 20, 21 of the second cover member 3 are arranged in the escaping spaces 23, 22 of the first cover member 2. The restricting portions 20, 21 of the first cover member are arranged in the escaping spaces 23, 22 of the second cover member.
