[0027] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The following will refer to the attached Figures 1-4 and describe this application in detail in combination with the embodiments.

[0028] The present invention provides a display device, including a fixing plate 1 and a display screen 2. The fixing plate 1 and the display screen 2 are connected to each other. There is a first gap 5 between the fixing plate 1 and the display screen 2. A plurality of sets of support members 3 for supporting the display screen 2 are arranged in the first gap 5, and the plurality of sets of support members 3 are arranged at intervals.

[0029] By providing the fixing plate 1 and the display screen 2 that are parallel and connected to each other, and a support member 3 is arranged between the display screen 2 and the fixing plate 1. The arrangement of the support member 3 can not only make there be a certain gap between the fixing plate 1 and the display screen 2, which is convenient for heat dissipation on the back of the display screen 2 and improves the operation stability of the display screen 2; at the same time, the support member 3 can also add support points to the back of the display screen 2, avoiding the middle part of the display screen 2 from being in a suspended state, and avoiding the display screen 2 from being easily deformed or damaged when being impacted, thus improving the anti-deformation ability and safety performance of the display.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing plate 1 has a first surface. First fixing protrusions 11 are respectively provided at the transverse two ends of the first surface. The transverse two ends of the display screen 2 are respectively connected to the two first fixing protrusions 11 in one-to-one correspondence, and the first gap 5 is formed between the first surface and the display screen 2. The first fixing protrusion 11 can lift the display screen 2 to a position separated from the first surface, so that there is a first gap 5 between the first surface and the back of the display screen 2. The first gap 5 is convenient for heat dissipation on the back of the display screen 2. However, the existence of the first gap 5 makes the middle part of the display screen 2 (that is, most of it, and the area of this part accounts for 80%-90% of the total area) in a suspended state, and it is extremely easy to be deformed or damaged during transportation and installation. After the support member 3 is arranged therein, both sides of the support member 3 are respectively abutted against the first surface and the back of the display screen 2, so it can play a supporting role for the display screen 2.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of sets of support members 3 are evenly distributed transversely. By providing a plurality of sets of support members 3 and evenly distributing the plurality of sets of support members 3 in the first gap 5, a support point can exist for the display screen 2 at a certain distance, improving its supporting effect and further improving the anti-deformation ability and safety performance of the display screen 2.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3As shown, each group of support members 3 is a reinforcing rib 31 arranged longitudinally. As a support member 3, the reinforcing rib 31 has good support, is easy to install, saves time and effort, and can also save costs. At the same time, when the display device is arranged on the panel of the air conditioner, the fixing plate 1 is used as the panel of the air conditioner, and the fixing plate 1 is provided with an air outlet. The air in the heat exchange air duct enters between the reinforcing ribs 31, and the air duct formed between adjacent reinforcing ribs 31 has a wind guiding function.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, each group of support members 3 is a plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 arranged longitudinally. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 in each group are coaxially arranged respectively, and a second gap 32 is provided between two adjacent reinforcing ribs 31 in each group. The existence of the second gap 32 between the plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 in each group means that several notches are provided in the middle of the whole reinforcing rib 31, which can save costs and reduce consumables. At the same time, when the display device is arranged on the panel of the air conditioner, the fixing plate 1 is used as the panel of the air conditioner, and the fixing plate 1 is provided with an air outlet. The air in the heat exchange air duct enters between the reinforcing ribs 31, and the setting of the above notches can reduce the impact of the air on the reinforcing ribs 31 and reduce the generation of noise.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, among the groups of support members 3, at least one group of support members 3 is a reinforcing rib 31 arranged longitudinally, and the other groups of support members 3 are a plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 arranged longitudinally. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 in each group are coaxially arranged respectively, and a second gap 32 is provided between two adjacent reinforcing ribs 31 in each group. The reinforcing ribs 31 in different groups can be respectively set as a whole reinforcing rib 31 and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 31, and preferably they are arranged alternately, so as to not only ensure the support of the reinforcing ribs 31, but also take into account the demand for noise reduction, so as to achieve a better balance point.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, among the groups of support members 3 provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 31, the number of the plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 in different groups is the same or different, the length of the plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 in different groups is the same or different, and the distribution positions of the plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 in different groups are the same or different. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 31 are formed by setting notches in the whole reinforcing rib 31. The number and position of the notches are not limited. The notches provided in the reinforcing ribs 31 in different groups can be the same or different. Such a random setting can further increase the support and noise reduction effects.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, an air outlet is provided between each group of reinforcing ribs 31 on the fixing plate 1. The fixing plate 1 is provided with wind deflectors respectively matching with the air outlets, and the wind deflectors can block or open the air outlets. The air outlets are for allowing air to enter between the display screen 2 and the fixing plate 1. The flow of air can take away the heat on the back of the display screen 2, facilitating the heat dissipation of the display screen 2. Especially when the display screen 2 is installed on the indoor unit of an air conditioner, the cold air for refrigeration of the air conditioner can enter between the display screen 2 and the fixing plate 1 through the air outlets, thus more conveniently dissipating the heat on the back of the display screen 2. At the same time, in order to prevent more dust from entering between the display screen 2 and the fixing plate 1, a wind deflector is provided at the air outlet. The wind deflector is adhesively connected to the fixing plate 1, and the two are connected by a shaft. The wind deflector can rotate around the shaft. When it rotates to a position coinciding with the air outlet, the air outlet is closed, otherwise the air outlet is opened. When the display screen 2 is installed on the indoor unit of an air conditioner, when the air conditioner is heating, the air outlet also needs to be closed.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ratio of the horizontal length to the vertical length of the display screen 2 is 16:9. Screens with this ratio are widely used and can be used for playing videos.

[0038] The display screen 2 in the present invention is preferably a liquid crystal display screen 2. A frame 4 can be provided around the display screen 2. The frame 4 is used to fix the display screen 2, and the frame 4 and the display screen 2 are distributed in layers. Only the inner edge of the frame 4 is adhesively connected to the outer edge of the display screen 2. The fixing plate 1 is provided with a second fixing protrusion 12. The frame 4 is arranged on the second fixing protrusion 12, and a third fixing protrusion 13 is further provided above the outer end of the second fixing protrusion 12. The outer side of the frame 4 abuts against the inner side of the third fixing protrusion 13, thereby fixing the frame 4 and the display screen 2.

[0039] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides an indoor unit of an air conditioner, including the display device described in any one of the above. The display device is arranged at the panel position of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the fixing plate 1 can be used as the panel.

[0040] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
