Abstract

This invention provides a panel mounting structure and an air conditioner, including a panel, a middle frame, and a connecting bracket. The connecting bracket is connected to the panel and / or the middle frame via a pivot structure. A locking structure is provided on the panel and / or the middle frame at a location corresponding to the pivot structure. The locking structure is used to limit the position of the pivot structure in the axial direction. By installing the locking structure on the panel and / or the middle frame in a detachable connection manner, the position of the pivot structure connected to the connecting bracket in the axial direction is limited, preventing the connecting bracket from wobbling left and right during the opening and closing of the panel, increasing the connection stability between the connecting bracket and the panel. Furthermore, the locking structure provided by this invention is more convenient for disassembly and installation compared to conventional clips.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of air conditioners, and in particular to a panel mounting structure and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the panel of the air conditioner is connected to the middle frame through a connecting bracket, and the connecting bracket is connected to the driving assembly through a rotating shaft, and then the driving assembly drives the panel to open and close through the rotating shaft and the connecting bracket. The connecting brackets are arranged at both ends of the panel, and the rotating shaft is arranged at one end of the connecting bracket. When the rotating shaft is arranged on one side of the middle frame, rotating shaft holes corresponding to the rotating shaft are arranged at both ends of the middle frame, and the rotating shaft is inserted into the rotating shaft hole. When the panel is rotated, the rotating shaft rotates in the rotating shaft hole to realize the opening and closing of the panel.

[0003] When the shaft is set on one side of the panel, Figure 2 As shown, the connecting bracket is connected to the support link via a rotating shaft, and the support link is fixed on the panel, that is, the connecting bracket is connected to the panel via the rotating shaft, so that the connecting bracket drives the panel to open and close.

[0004] The above two panel installation structures do not have sufficient upper limit on the axial direction of the shaft, so when the shaft rotates to drive the panel to open and close, the shaft is prone to shaking left and right, and even the shaft may be separated from the corresponding shaft hole, affecting the long-term stable use of the panel and the air conditioner. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a panel mounting structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem in the prior art that the upper limit of the rotating shaft in the left and right directions is insufficient and it is easy to shake left and right.
