In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.
[0052] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0053] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 14 The panel assembly 10 of the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described, and the air conditioner 100 has an electric control device, which is located at the rear side of the panel assembly 10. The electric control device is suitable for controlling the operating state of the air conditioner 100. Preferably, the electric control device can be an electric control box, and the operating state of the air conditioner 100 is controlled by the electric control box.
[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the panel assembly 10 of the air conditioner 100 includes: a panel component 1 and a sliding door component 3, the panel component 1 is provided with a wire passage 11 and an air outlet 12, the panel component 1 is provided with a cycloidal space 13 located at the rear side of the wire passage 11, the cycloidal space 13 is provided with a limiter 2 for limiting the swing range of the wire 4, the sliding door component 3 is slidably arranged on the front side of the panel component 1 to open or close the air outlet 12, the sliding door component 3 is provided with an electrical component 31 for controlling and / or displaying the operating status of the air conditioner 100, the wire 4 is connected to the electrical component 31, the wire 4 passes through the wire passage 11 and then enters the cycloidal space 13, and the wire 4 extending from the cycloidal space 13 is suitable for connecting to an electronic control device.
[0055] It is understandable that the sliding door component 3 is slidably set on the front side of the panel component 1 to control the opening of the air outlet 12 by moving the sliding door component 3, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the air output of the air conditioner 100.
[0056] When the sliding door component 3 moves relative to the panel component 1, since the electrical component 31 is arranged on the sliding door component 3, the movement of the sliding door component 3 drives the electrical component 31 to move. The wire 4 connected to the electrical component 31 passes through the wire channel 11 on the panel component 1 and enters the cycloid space 13. The wire 4 extending from the cycloid space 13 is then connected to the electronic control device to ensure that the connection of the wire 4 between the electrical component 31 and the electronic control device is more reliable.
[0057] At the same time, since a limit member 2 is provided in the cycloid space 13, when the sliding door component 3 moves relative to the panel component 1, the wire 4 swinging in the cycloid space 13 will be restricted by the limit member 2, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the swinging range of part of the wire 4 in the cycloid space 13, thereby preventing the wire 4 from escaping from the cycloid space 13 and making the movement of the sliding door component 3 more reliable.
[0058] Furthermore, by making the part of the wire 4 in the cycloid space 13 swing to match the movement of the sliding door component 3, the phenomenon of pulling the wire 4 when the sliding door component 3 moves is avoided, so as to avoid the wire 4 from breaking, thereby making the connection of the wire 4 between the electrical component 31 and the electric control device more reliable. The wiring structure of the wire 4 connected between the electric control device and the electrical component 31 has the advantages of low cost, few parts, and small space occupation.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sliding door component 3 can move relative to the panel component 1 along a first direction, which can be an up and down direction, and at the same time, the wire passage 11 is extended along the first direction or a certain angle is provided between the extension direction of the wire passage 11 and the first direction, so that the wire 4 can slide in the wire passage 11 to achieve the purpose of guiding the moving trajectory of the wire 4, thereby avoiding the wire 4 from getting stuck with the parts inside the air conditioner 100.
[0060] It should be noted that the extension direction of the wire passage 11 can be limited according to actual usage. As long as it can guide the movement trajectory of the wire 4 and avoid jamming between the wire 4 and the internal parts of the air conditioner 100, there is no restriction on the extension direction of the wire passage 11.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrical component 31 may be a button component or a display screen or other device for controlling and / or displaying the operating status of the air conditioner 100. For example, when the electrical component 31 is a display screen, the operating status of the air conditioner 100 can be displayed through the electrical component 31 by connecting the electrical component 31 to an electronic control device.
[0062] For example, when the electrical component 31 is a button component, the electrical component 31 is connected to the electronic control device, and then the electrical component 31 is pressed or touched to send a control instruction to the electronic control device, so that the electronic control device controls the operating state of the air conditioner 100.
[0063] According to the panel assembly 10 of the air conditioner 100 in the embodiment of the present invention, when the sliding door component 3 moves relative to the panel component 1, the part of the wire 4 swinging in the cycloid space 13 will be restricted by the limiter 2, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the swinging range of the part of the wire 4 in the cycloid space 13, thereby preventing the wire 4 from escaping from the cycloid space 13, and making the movement of the sliding door component 3 more reliable.
[0064] like Figures 4 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, two limiters 2 are arranged in the cycloid space 13, and part of the wire 4 in the cycloid space 13 can be swingably arranged between the two limiters 2. It can be understood that part of the wire 4 in the cycloid space 13 swings between the two limiters 2, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the swing range of part of the wire 4 in the cycloid space 13, prevent the wire 4 from escaping from the cycloid space 13, and make the movement of the sliding door component 3 more reliable. It should be noted that the number of limiters 2 in the cycloid space 13 can be limited according to actual use conditions, as long as it can achieve the purpose of limiting the swing range of the wire 4, and the number of limiters 2 is not limited here.
[0065] like Figures 4 to 9As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cycloid space 13 has an inlet end and an outlet end, and the distance between the two stoppers 2 gradually decreases in the direction from the inlet end to the outlet end. It can be understood that the inlet end of the cycloid space 13 can be arranged close to the wire passage 11, and the outlet end of the cycloid space 13 can be arranged close to the electric control device. By gradually reducing the distance between the two stoppers 2 in the direction from the inlet end of the cycloid space 13 to the outlet end of the cycloid space 13, the opening at the inlet end of the cycloid space 13 is made larger, so that when the wire 4 swings in the wire passage 11, the stopper 2 will not interfere with the swing of the wire 4, making the movement of the sliding door component 3 more reliable. The opening at the outlet end of the cycloid space 13 is smaller to limit the swing range of the part of the wire 4 near the electric control device, thereby preventing the wire 4 from being pulled, and making the connection of the wire 4 between the electrical component 31 and the electric control device more reliable.
[0066] like Figures 4 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the two stoppers 2 are formed into arc shapes protruding toward each other. It can be understood that by making the two stoppers 2 arc-shaped and protruding toward each other, the two stoppers 2 are substantially in an "eight" shape, thereby limiting the swing range of part of the wire 4 in the cycloid space 13, preventing the wire 4 from escaping from the cycloid space 13, and making the movement of the sliding door component 3 more reliable.
[0067] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the panel component 1 includes a panel body 14 and a panel cover 15, the air outlet 12 and the wire passage 11 are arranged on the panel body 14, the panel cover 15 is arranged on the rear side of the panel body 14, and a cycloidal space 13 is defined between the panel body 14 and the panel cover 15. It can be understood that by arranging the panel cover 15 on the rear side of the panel body 14 and defining the cycloidal space 13 between the panel body 14 and the panel cover 15, the structure of the cycloidal space 13 is made simpler, thereby preventing the wire 4 from escaping from the cycloidal space 13, and making the movement of the sliding door component 3 more reliable.
[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the stopper 2 includes a first portion 21 and a second portion 22, the first portion 21 is disposed on the panel body 14, the second portion 22 is disposed on the panel cover 15, and the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 cooperate to limit the cycloid range of the wire 4. It can be understood that the cycloid range of the wire 4 is limited by cooperating with the first portion 21 on the panel body 14 and the second portion 22 on the panel cover 15, thereby preventing the wire 4 from escaping from the cycloid space 13, and making the movement of the sliding door component 3 more reliable.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the panel body 14 and the panel cover 15 are snap-fitted. It is understandable that the panel body 14 and the panel cover 15 can be snap-fitted to facilitate mounting the panel cover 15 on the panel body 14 and improve assembly efficiency.
[0070] like Figures 4 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of snap-fit portions 141 are provided on the panel body 14, and a plurality of matching portions 152 are provided on the panel cover body 15. The plurality of snap-fit portions 141 are respectively snap-fitted with the plurality of matching portions 152, thereby facilitating the installation of the panel cover body 15 on the panel body 14 and improving assembly efficiency.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixed connector passes through the panel cover 15 and is connected to the panel body 14 to fix the panel cover 15. It is understandable that by passing the fixed connector through the panel cover 15 and then connected to the panel body 14, the panel cover 15 is firmly connected to the panel body 14, thereby improving the structural strength of the panel component 1. It should be noted that there can be multiple fixed connectors, so that the panel cover 15 is firmly connected to the panel body 14, further improving the structural strength of the panel component 1. Preferably, the fixed connector can be a bolt, so that the structure of the fixed connector is simpler and more reliable.
[0072] like Figures 4 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a through hole 153 is provided on the panel cover 15, and a screw column 142 is provided on the panel body 14. The fixed connecting piece passes through the through hole 153 and is threadedly connected to the screw column 142, so that the panel cover 15 is firmly connected to the panel body 14, thereby improving the structural strength of the panel component 1.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the panel assembly 10 further includes a fixing member, which is used to fix part of the wire 4 on the panel component 1 and / or the sliding door component 3. It can be understood that the fixing member fixes part of the wire 4 fixed to the panel component 1 and / or the sliding door component 3, thereby preventing part of the wire 4 on the panel component 1 and / or the sliding door component 3 from swinging, so as to prevent the swing of the part of the wire 4 from getting stuck or pulled with the parts inside the air conditioner 100.
[0074] like Figures 5 to 9As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing member includes a first wire clamping portion 16 disposed on the rear side of the panel component 1, and the wire 4 is connected to the electric control device after being positioned by the first wire clamping portion 16. It can be understood that the wire 4 is fixed to the panel component 1 by the first wire clamping portion 16, and then the wire 4 is connected to the electric control device, so as to avoid the part of the wire 4 between the first wire clamping portion 16 and the electric control device from swinging when the sliding door component 3 moves relative to the panel component 1, so as to avoid the part of the wire 4 between the first wire clamping portion 16 and the electric control device from getting stuck or pulled with the parts inside the air conditioner 100. Thereby, the stability of the wire 4 connected between the electrical component 31 and the electric control device is improved.
[0075] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an outlet end of the cycloid space 13 is provided between the panel body 14 and the panel cover body 15, and a first wire clamping portion 16 can be provided at the outlet end of the cycloid space 13, so that the wire 4 extending from the cycloid space 13 is fixed at the outlet end of the cycloid space 13 by the first wire clamping portion 16, so as to avoid the partial wire 4 between the outlet end of the cycloid space 13 and the electric control device from swinging when the sliding door component 3 moves relative to the panel component 1, so as to improve the stability of the wire 4 connected between the electrical component 31 and the electric control device.
[0076] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing member further includes a second wire clamping portion 32 disposed at the rear side of the sliding door component 3, and the wire 4 is positioned by the second wire clamping portion 32 and then extends into the wire passage 11. It can be understood that the wire 4 is fixed to the sliding door component 3 by the second wire clamping portion 32, and then the wire 4 passes through the wire passage 11 on the panel component 1 and enters the cycloidal space 13, so as to avoid the partial wire 4 between the second wire clamping portion 32 and the electrical component 31 from swinging when the sliding door component 3 moves relative to the panel component 1, so as to avoid the partial wire 4 between the second wire clamping portion 32 and the electrical component 31 from being stuck or pulled with the parts inside the air conditioner 100. Thus, the stability of the wire 4 connected between the electrical component 31 and the electric control device is improved.
[0077] like Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the sliding door component 3 is further provided with a plurality of fixing buckles 33, which are arranged at intervals between the second wire clamping portion 32 and the electrical component 31, and part of the wire 4 between the second wire clamping portion 32 and the electrical component 31 is fixed to the sliding door component 3 via the fixing buckles 33, so as to prevent the part of the wire 4 between the second wire clamping portion 32 and the electrical component 31 from swinging when the sliding door component 3 moves relative to the panel component 1, so as to prevent the part of the wire 4 between the second wire clamping portion 32 and the electrical component 31 from getting stuck or pulled with the parts inside the air conditioner 100. Thus, the stability of the wire 4 connected between the electrical component 31 and the electric control device is improved.
[0078] like Figures 4 to 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting portion 41 is provided on the wire 4, and the mounting portion 41 cooperates with the fixing member to position the wire 4. It can be understood that the wire 4 cooperates with the fixing member through the mounting portion 41, so that the connection structure between the wire 4 and the fixing member is simpler and more reliable, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting groove is provided on the fixing member, a buckle is provided in the mounting groove, the mounting portion 41 is embedded in the mounting groove and fixed by the buckle in the mounting groove, thereby making the connection structure between the mounting portion 41 and the fixing member simpler and more reliable, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion 41 is non-circular to prevent the mounting portion 41 from rotating in the mounting groove of the fixing member, thereby preventing the wire 4 from rotating, so as to improve the stability of the wire 4. It should be noted that the shape of the mounting portion 41 can be limited according to actual use conditions, as long as the mounting portion 41 can be prevented from rotating in the mounting groove of the fixing member, and the shape of the mounting portion 41 is not limited. Preferably, the mounting portion 41 is a square structure.
[0081] like Figures 7 to 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the panel assembly 10 further includes an outer sleeve 42, and the outer sleeve 42 is sleeved on the portion of the wire 4 located on the rear side of the panel component 1. It can be understood that by sleeved on the portion of the wire 4 located on the rear side of the panel component 1, friction between the portion of the wire 4 located on the rear side of the panel component 1 and the panel component 1 is avoided, so as to avoid the wire 4 from being worn and broken.
[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer sleeve 42 is rotatably disposed on the wire 4, and the outer sleeve 42 is in rolling contact with the panel component 1. It can be understood that when the sliding door component 3 moves relative to the panel component 1 and drives the wire 4 to swing, the wire 4 is in rolling contact with the panel component 1 through the outer sleeve 42, reducing the friction between the outer sleeve 42 and the panel component 1, and preventing the wire 4 from rubbing against the panel component 1, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the wire 4 being worn and broken.
[0083] like Figures 7 to 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the outer sleeve 42 is arranged on the part of the wire 4 located in the cycloid space 13. When the wire 4 swings in the cycloid space 13 through the outer sleeve 42, the wire 4 does not rub against the inner surface of the cycloid space 13, but rubs against the outer sleeve 42, thereby preventing the other components of the air conditioner 100 from damaging the wire 4, thereby protecting the wire 4. In this way, the wire 4 is prevented from rubbing against the inner surface of the cycloid space 13, and the phenomenon of the wire 4 being worn and broken is avoided.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer sleeve 42 may be a ball bearing, and the rolling of the ball bearing prevents the wire 4 from rubbing against the inner surface of the cycloid space 13, thereby making the structure of the outer sleeve 42 simpler and more reliable. It should be noted that the number of outer sleeves 42 may be limited according to actual use conditions, thereby ensuring that the wire 4 will not be worn or broken. Preferably, there are three outer sleeves 42, and the three outer sleeves 42 are arranged on the wire 4 at intervals, thereby protecting the wire 4.
[0085] like Figures 3 to 10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the panel assembly 10 further includes a sliding member 5, which is slidably disposed in the wire passage 11, and the wire 4 passes through the sliding member 5 and then extends into the cycloidal space 13.
