[0024] To better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the following further describes in detail a decorative plate assembly and an appliance of the present invention with reference to the appended Figures 1-5 , drawings.

[0025] See Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a decorative panel assembly is provided and applied to household appliances. As described in the background art, the existing decorative panel assembly is installed on the housing 2 in a form of screw fastening, with low installation efficiency and complex disassembly. In order to improve the installation and disassembly efficiency of the decorative panel 3 and the housing 2, the installation structure of the decorative panel 3 and the housing 2 is improved in the present invention, which facilitates the replacement and disassembly of the decorative panel 3. The present invention provides a decorative panel assembly, including a decorative panel 3, a housing 2 and an upper cover 1. The upper cover 1 and the decorative panel 3 fix the decorative panel 3 on the upper cover 1 through a buckle 6 and a guiding structure, and then fixedly connect the decorative panel 3 and the housing 2 through a screw fixing method, so as to realize the rapid positioning of the decorative panel 3 and the upper cover 1 and the housing 2 and improve the installation efficiency.

[0026] An installation panel assembly provided by the present invention is applied to household appliances. In one of the embodiments, the household appliance is a tower fan. The tower fan of the present invention includes an upper cover 1 and a housing 2. The upper cover 1 and the housing 2 are fixedly connected. A groove is provided at the junction of the upper cover 1 and the housing 2. The decorative panel 3 is fixed at the groove. The upper cover 1 and the decorative panel 3 are respectively provided with a clamping structure and a guiding structure, thereby reducing the number of fastening screws and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0027] As Figures 2-5 As shown, the decorative panel assembly provided by the present invention includes a housing 2. An upper cover 1 is provided at the top of the housing 2. The housing 2 and the upper cover 1 are detachably connected. A decorative panel 3 is detachably provided on the side walls of the housing 2 and the upper cover 1. The decorative panel 3 is detachably fixed on the side walls of the upper cover 1 and the housing 2 through a clamping structure and a guiding structure.

[0028] Further, a groove is provided at the junction of the housing 2 and the upper cover 1. The decorative panel 3 is arranged in the groove. Specifically, grooves with openings facing outwards are formed on the outer walls of the housing 2 and the upper cover 1. The decorative panel 3 is arranged in the grooves. The decorative panel 3 and the side walls of the housing 2 and the upper cover 1 are detachably connected through a buckle 6 and a guiding structure.

[0029] As Figure 2 As shown, the guiding structure includes a guiding groove 7 and a guiding rib 8. The guiding groove 7 is provided at the top of the decorative panel 3. The guiding groove 7 includes a connecting plate 72. The side wall of the connecting plate 72 is fixed to the inner side of the decorative panel 3. The free end of the connecting plate 72 is fixedly connected with an inserting plate 71. Preferably, inserting plates 71 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the free end of the connecting plate 72. A through groove is formed between the inserting plate 71 and the side wall of the connecting plate 72. The width of the through groove is equal to the thickness of the side wall of the guiding rib 8, so that the side wall of the guiding rib 8 can cooperate with the through groove.

[0030] Furthermore, the guiding rib 8 is provided on the upper cover 1, and the insertion plate 71 of the guiding groove 7 is adapted to the structural shape of the guiding rib 8, so that the insertion plate 71 of the guiding groove 7 is inserted into the guiding rib 8, and thus the guiding rib 8 and the guiding groove 7 are cooperatively connected.

[0031] Furthermore, the guiding rib 8 includes a clamping plate 81 and a side plate 82. The clamping plate 81 and the side plate 82 are fixedly connected, and a right angle is formed between the side wall of the clamping plate 81 and the side wall of the side plate 82.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 the figure, the decorative plate 3 is further provided with screw posts 4, and screw holes 5 are provided on the side wall of the housing 2. The positions of the screw posts 4 and the screws are adapted to each other, so that the decorative plate 3 and the housing 2 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0033] As shown in Figure 4 the figure, the clamping structure can be a buckle 6. The buckle 6 is fixed on the lower surface of the top of the housing 2. The buckle 6 is an elastic wall and is in a plate-like structure. The top end of the buckle 6 is fixed on the lower surface of the top of the housing 2. A convex block 61 is provided at the free end of the buckle 6, and a clamping surface is provided on the convex block 61 of the buckle 6. The convex block 61 of the buckle 6 is clamped with the bottom of the connecting plate 72 of the guiding groove 7.

[0034] Preferably, guiding ribs 8 are respectively provided on both sides of the buckle 6. The side walls of both sides of the buckle 6 are fixedly connected with the side plates 82 of the guiding ribs 8. The position where the guiding ribs 8 are provided is matched with the position of the insertion plate 71 of the guiding groove 7, so that the insertion plate 71 slides into along the side wall of the guiding rib 8.

[0035] The housing 2 and the upper cover 1 are detachably connected through the decorative plate 3. When installing the decorative plate 3, the decorative plate 3 is obliquely inserted into the upper cover 1. The insertion plate 71 in the guiding groove 7 on the decorative plate 3 is inserted into the guiding rib 8, so that the guiding rib 8 slides into the guiding groove 7. At the same time, the decorative plate 3 is pressed towards the housing 2, so that the buckle 6 is clamped into the lower surface of the connecting plate 72 of the guiding groove 7. At this time, the screw posts 4 of the decorative plate 3 correspond to the screw holes 5 on the housing 2. Finally, the screws are inserted through the screw holes 5 to complete the installation of the decorative plate 3. When disassembling, only need to unscrew the screws, pry the lower part of the decorative plate 3, so that the buckle 6 is separated from the lower surface of the connecting plate 72 of the guiding groove 7, and then tilt the decorative plate 3 to take it off.

[0036] It should be noted that the shape of the decorative plate 3 in the present invention is not limited to the arc structure. The figure is only a preferred example, and any shape that can achieve the installation method in the present invention is acceptable. In addition, in the present invention, the tower fan is taken as an example to describe the decorative plate assembly and the installation method. According to actual needs, the decorative plate assembly of the present invention can also be applied to other types of household appliances, such as electric fans, air cooler fans, etc.

[0037] It will be understood that the present invention is described by way of some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will be aware that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Additionally, under the teaching of the present invention, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application belong to the scope protected by the present invention.
