[0002] The front panel of the air conditioner cabinet is generally composed of two side panels on the left and right and a lower trim panel in the middle. The two side panels and the lower trim panel are connected by overlapping and pressing their edges. After being connected in this way, due to the gap between the side panels and the lower trim panel, during transportation or movement, the side panels and the lower trim panel will rub against each other, which can easily leave scratches or wear marks on the surface of the lower trim panel, which not only affects the appearance quality of the product, but also easily reduces its service life and performance.

[0003] Therefore, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the above technical problem, that is, to solve the problem that the panel of the existing air-conditioning cabinet is easy to leave scratches or wear marks on the surface.

[0005] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a panel assembly for an air-conditioning cabinet, the panel assembly comprising a lower trim panel and a side panel, the side panel being located on the front side of the lower trim panel, and the edge of the side panel close to the lower trim panel having a flange extending toward the lower trim panel, the first end face of the flange being provided with a raised structure, the raised structure abutting against the outer surface of the lower trim panel, the first end face being the end face of the flange facing the lower trim panel.

[0006] In a preferred technical solution of the above panel assembly, the protruding structure is arranged close to the inner side of the first end surface, and the width of the protruding structure is smaller than the width of the first end surface.

[0007] In the preferred technical solution of the above panel assembly, the width of the protruding structure is L1, the width of the first end surface is L2, and L1≤1 / 2×L2.

[0008] In a preferred technical solution of the above panel assembly, the protrusion structure includes a plurality of protrusions, and the plurality of protrusions are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first end surface; or

[0009] The protruding structure is a strip-shaped convex rib, and the strip-shaped convex rib extends along the length direction of the first end surface.

[0010] In a preferred technical solution of the above panel assembly, the protruding structure is made of elastic material.

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the above panel assembly, anti-slip stripes are also provided on the first end surface.

[0012] In a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned panel assembly, a protective coating is provided on the outer surface of the lower decorative plate.

[0013] In the preferred technical solution of the above panel assembly, the protective coating is a wear-resistant paint or a plastic film.

[0014] In a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned panel assembly, the panel assembly further comprises a clamping plate, the clamping plate is provided with a groove, the lower decorative plate is clamped in the groove, and the inner surface of the lower decorative plate abuts against the inner wall of the groove.

[0015] In a second aspect, the utility model further provides an air conditioning cabinet, which includes the above-mentioned panel assembly.

[0016] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution of the utility model provides a panel assembly of an air conditioner cabinet, the panel assembly includes a lower decorative plate and a side panel, the side panel is located at the front side of the lower decorative plate, and the edge of the side panel close to the lower decorative plate has a flange extending toward the lower decorative plate, the first end face of the flange is provided with a convex structure, the convex structure abuts against the outer surface of the lower decorative plate, and the first end face is the end face of the flange facing the lower decorative plate. In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the utility model can avoid the risk of scratches or wear marks left on the lower decorative plate due to direct contact and mutual friction between the lower decorative plate and the side panel. Specifically, the first end face of the flange is provided with a convex structure, and the convex structure abuts against the outer surface of the lower decorative plate, so that the panel and the side panel are no longer in direct contact, forming an indirect contact mode, thereby reducing the risk of scratches or wear marks caused by mutual friction between the lower decorative plate and the side panel. In addition, when the convex structure and the lower decorative plate rub against each other to produce scratches, the scratches can be covered by the end face of the flange facing the lower decorative plate, avoiding the scratches from being exposed, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly.

[0017] Furthermore, the raised structure of the utility model is arranged close to the inner side of the first end face, and the width of the raised structure is smaller than the width of the first end face. Through this structural arrangement, on the one hand, the direct contact area between the lower decorative plate and the side panel can be reduced, reducing the risk of scratches or wear caused by friction; on the other hand, even if the raised structure and the lower decorative plate rub against each other and produce scratches, since the raised structure is arranged close to the inner side of the first end face, and the width of the raised structure is smaller than the width of the first end face, the raised structure will not be exposed, so the scratches on the lower decorative plate can also be hidden on the inner side of the first end face, further improving the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly.

[0018] Furthermore, the width of the raised structure of the utility model is L1, and the width of the first end face is L2, L1≤1 / 2×L2. By limiting the width L1 of the raised structure to be less than half of the width L2 of the first end face, the direct contact area between the lower trim and the side panel can be significantly reduced. This helps to reduce the risk of scratches or wear caused by friction and protect the appearance of the lower trim; in addition, by controlling the ratio of the width of the raised structure to the width of the first end face, it can be ensured that the panel assembly remains coordinated and beautiful in appearance, and the narrower raised structure will not be too prominent, avoiding an abrupt impact on the overall appearance.

[0019] Furthermore, the raised structure includes a plurality of protrusions, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first end face; or the raised structure is a strip convex rib, which extends along the length direction of the first end face. The protrusions arranged at intervals can reduce the direct contact area with the lower decorative panel, further reducing the risk of scratches or wear caused by friction; or the raised structure is set as a strip convex rib, which can provide continuous and stable support to ensure a tight connection between the lower decorative panel and the side panel, and can reduce the risk of scratches caused by the mutual displacement between the lower decorative panel and the side panel.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although the following embodiments are introduced in conjunction with the panel of an air-conditioning cabinet, the panel provided by the present invention is also applicable to other products that need to solve the problem of scratches caused by friction between panels and the problem of scratches being exposed and affecting the overall aesthetics.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Based on the problem that the panels of existing air conditioner cabinets pointed out in the background technology are prone to leaving scratches or wear marks on the surface, the utility model provides a panel assembly, which aims to effectively solve the problem of scratches caused by friction between the lower decorative panel and the side panel, and the problem of scratches being exposed and affecting the overall aesthetics by providing a flange extending toward the lower decorative panel at the edge of the side panel close to the lower decorative panel, and providing a convex structure on the first end face of the flange, which abuts against the outer surface of the lower decorative panel.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a panel assembly of an air conditioner cabinet, the panel assembly includes a lower decorative panel 1 and a side panel 2, the side panel 2 is located on the front side of the lower decorative panel 1, and the edge of the side panel 2 close to the lower decorative panel 1 has a flange 21 extending toward the lower decorative panel 1 (such as Figure 3 As shown), the first end surface 211 of the flange 21 is provided with a protruding structure 3 (as shown Figure 4 As shown), the raised structure 3 abuts against the outer surface of the lower decorative plate 1, and the first end surface 211 is the end surface of the flange 21 facing the lower decorative plate 1.

[0033] The lower decorative panel 1 is the main appearance surface of the air conditioner cabinet, while the side panel 2 is located in front of the lower decorative panel 1, adjacent to the lower decorative panel 1 and together with the side panel 2, forming the overall appearance of the air conditioner cabinet. The edge of the side panel 2 close to the lower decorative panel 1 has a flange 21 extending toward the lower decorative panel 1. The flange 21 is a part of the side panel 2, which extends toward the lower decorative panel 1 to form an additional edge structure. This design not only increases the visual effect of the panel assembly, but also plays a reinforcing role in the structure, enabling it to withstand greater external force impact, improving the durability and reliability of the product, and the structural design of the flange 21 adds a unique visual effect to the panel assembly, making it more beautiful. A convex structure 3 is provided on the first end face 211 of the flange 21 (i.e., the end face facing the lower decorative panel 1), and the convex structure 3 is in contact with the outer surface of the lower decorative panel 1, and the tight connection between the lower decorative panel 1 and the side panel 2 is ensured by physical contact. This connection method not only enhances the overall stability of the panel assembly, but also improves the appearance texture of the product. Furthermore, the raised structure 3 eliminates direct contact between the lower trim panel 1 and the side panel 2, thereby forming an indirect contact mode, thereby reducing the risk of scratches or wear marks on the lower trim panel 1 due to mutual friction between the lower trim panel 1 and the side panel 2, and significantly reducing the occurrence of scratches or wear marks on the lower trim panel 1; in addition, even when scratches are generated by mutual friction between the raised structure 3 and the lower trim panel 1, the scratches can be covered by the flange 21 facing the end face of the lower trim panel 1, avoiding exposure of the scratches, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly.

[0034] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, the protruding structure 3 is disposed close to the inner side of the first end surface 211 , and the width of the protruding structure 3 is smaller than the width of the first end surface 211 .

[0035] The width of the raised structure 3 is smaller than the width of the first end face 211. On the one hand, it can reduce the direct contact area between the lower trim panel 1 and the side panel 2, significantly reducing the generation of scratches or wear marks on the lower trim panel 1; on the other hand, even if the raised structure 3 and the lower trim panel 1 rub against each other and generate scratches, and since the raised structure 3 is arranged close to the inner side of the first end face 211 and the width of the raised structure 3 is smaller than the width of the first end face 211, this design allows the raised structure 3 to be hidden on the inner side of the first end face 211 without being too protruding, thereby avoiding an abrupt effect on the overall appearance. Therefore, the scratches on the lower trim panel 1 can also be hidden on the inner side of the first end face 211, further improving the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly, while ensuring that the raised structure 3 can stably support and prevent sliding when abutting against the lower trim panel 1.

[0036] Preferably, the width of the protruding structure 3 is L1, the width of the first end surface 211 is L2, and L1≤1 / 2×L2.

[0037] By limiting the width L1 of the protruding structure 3 to be less than half the width L2 of the first end face 211, the direct contact area between the lower trim panel 1 and the side panel 2 can be significantly reduced. This helps reduce the risk of scratches or wear caused by friction, and can ensure that the scratches on the lower trim panel 1 are completely hidden inside the first end face 211, and the scratches are blocked by the lower trim panel 1, ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the lower trim panel 1. In addition, by controlling the ratio of the width of the protruding structure 3 to the width of the first end face 211, it can be ensured that the panel assembly remains coordinated and beautiful in appearance, and the narrower protruding structure 3 will not be too prominent, avoiding an abrupt impact on the overall appearance.

[0038] Exemplarily, the utility model sets the width of the raised structure 3 to half the width of the first end face 211, and along the width direction of the raised structure 3, one side of the raised structure 3 is flush with the edge of the first end face 211, thereby not only ensuring that the scratches on the lower decorative plate 1 are completely hidden on the inner side of the first end face 211, but also ensuring that the raised structure 3 has sufficient support, ensuring the stable contact between the raised structure 3 and the outer surface of the lower decorative plate 1, and enhancing the overall structural strength of the panel assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the width of the raised structure 3 does not need to be strictly equal to half the width of the first end face 211. For example, the width of the raised structure 3 can be one-third or one-quarter of the width of the first end face 211. The width of the raised structure 3 can be fine-tuned according to specific needs to achieve the best design effect. The width of the raised structure 3 is not specifically limited by the utility model.

[0039] Preferably, the protruding structure 3 includes a plurality of protrusions, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first end surface 211 ; or, the protruding structure 3 is a strip-shaped convex rib, which extends along the length direction of the first end surface 211 .

[0040] By configuring the raised structure 3 to be a structure of multiple bumps, and the multiple bumps are spaced apart along the length direction of the first end face 211 , the raised structure 3 can further reduce the direct contact area with the lower trim panel 1 , thereby further reducing the risk of scratches or wear on the lower trim panel 1 caused by friction.

[0041] Exemplarily, the bumps may be in the form of circular bumps, cylindrical protrusions, or other structural forms. The circular bumps have a rounded appearance and edges, and the circular bumps may be spaced apart along the length direction of the first end face 211 to form one or more rows. The rounded edges of the circular bumps can reduce the contact pressure with the lower trim panel 1, and the spaced circular bumps can reduce the contact area with the lower trim panel 1 while maintaining sufficient support, thereby further reducing the risk of scratches or wear on the lower trim panel 1 caused by friction. The cylindrical protrusion side surface can provide a larger contact area, ensuring a stable connection with the lower trim panel 1, and the protrusion has a higher structural strength and can withstand greater external force impacts. Of course, in other embodiments, the raised structure 3 may also be other structural forms to meet the requirements of different working conditions. For example, the raised structure 3 may be a wavy rib, a trapezoidal protrusion or other structural forms. The raised structure 3 can be selected according to the specific design requirements and application scenarios of the air-conditioning cabinet panel assembly. As long as it can reduce the risk of scratches or wear caused by friction on the lower decorative panel 1 and hide the scratches or wear, the specific structural form of the raised structure 3 is not limited by the present invention.

[0042] Preferably, the protruding structure 3 is made of elastic material.

[0043] The raised structure 3 made of elastic material has the advantages of high elasticity and good wear resistance. It can effectively buffer and reduce shock, reduce the friction and wear between the raised structure 3 and the lower trim panel 1 under the action of external impact, and further reduce the risk of scratches or wear on the lower trim panel 1 due to friction with the raised structure 3.

[0044] For example, the elastic material constituting the raised structure 3 may be rubber, silicone, or the like, which has a significantly high elasticity and can effectively prevent scratches on the lower decorative plate 1. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the elastic material may also be made of vinyl elastomer, polyolefin elastomer, or the like, and the elastic material constituting the raised structure 3 is not specifically limited in the present invention, as long as it can effectively reduce the risk of scratches or wear on the lower decorative plate 1 due to friction.

[0045] Preferably, anti-slip stripes are also provided on the first end surface 211 .

[0046] The anti-slip stripes can form additional textures and protrusions on the contact surface. These protrusions can form tiny friction forces with the lower trim panel 1, thereby increasing the friction coefficient of the entire surface and further reducing the risk of scratches or wear on the lower trim panel 1 due to friction.

[0047] It should be noted that the anti-slip stripes can be designed in a variety of shapes such as straight lines, waves, and crosses. The specific shape can be set according to the actual use scenario and anti-slip requirements, and the utility model does not make specific restrictions here. In addition, the material of the anti-slip stripes can be rubber, silicone, plastic, etc., as long as it can play an anti-slip role, and the material of the anti-slip stripes is not specifically limited here.

[0048] Preferably, the outer surface of the lower trim panel 1 is provided with a protective coating.

[0049] Since the protective coating has a high hardness and can resist the friction of the raised structure 3, it can effectively enhance the durability of the lower decorative panel 1 and significantly reduce the scratches and scrapes of the lower decorative panel 1, thereby extending the service life of the lower decorative panel 1. By reducing scratches and scrapes, the protective coating can maintain the beauty and clarity of the surface of the lower decorative panel 1 and improve the user experience.

[0050] Preferably, the protective coating is a wear-resistant paint or a plastic film.

[0051] The wear-resistant paint has good wear resistance and can effectively resist the physical wear of the raised structure 3. The wear-resistant paint has a high hardness and can resist scratches of the raised structure 3, thus effectively protecting the lower decorative panel 1. The wear-resistant paint can provide a smooth surface and rich colors, can be closely combined with the lower decorative panel 1, is not easy to peel off or be damaged, and enhances the overall appearance of the lower decorative panel 1. The plastic film has excellent scratch resistance and can effectively resist scratches and scrapes of the raised structure 3, maintain the smoothness of the surface of the lower decorative panel 1, and has good transparency, which does not affect the appearance of the lower decorative panel 1.

[0052] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the protective coating may also be made of materials such as silicon dioxide, polymer, ceramic, etc., as long as it can effectively protect the lower decorative panel 1. The material of the protective coating is not specifically limited in the present invention.

[0053] Preferably, the panel assembly further comprises a clamping plate, the clamping plate is provided with a groove, the lower decorative plate 1 is clamped in the groove, and the inner surface of the lower decorative plate 1 abuts against the inner wall of the groove.

[0054] Through the limiting effect of the groove, the lower decorative panel 1 can be stably fixed in the required position, and is not easily affected by external factors and displaced or fallen off. The clamping method makes the installation process of the lower decorative panel 1 simple and quick, and no additional fixing tools or materials are required. When the lower decorative panel 1 is clamped into the groove, its inner surface is tightly abutted against the inner wall of the groove, and the outer surface is abutted against the raised structure 3, so that the lower decorative panel 1 is fixed. The tight abutment between the inner surface of the lower decorative panel 1 and the inner wall of the groove can disperse the pressure to prevent the lower decorative panel 1 from being deformed or damaged when subjected to external forces.

[0055] In addition, the utility model also provides an air-conditioning cabinet, which includes the above-mentioned panel assembly.

[0056] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
