Detailed implementation manners

[0054] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] [[ID=1']]In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0056] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features.

[0057] The fragrance agent in the air conditioner fragrance box is a volatile substance and belongs to a consumable. When the fragrance box is always in an open state, it is easy to cause the volatilization and waste of the fragrance agent, and ultimately the user needs to frequently replace the fragrance box.

[0058] Therefore, the present invention provides an air conditioner panel structure, as shown in combination with Figures 1 to 4 including a panel body 2 of the air conditioner housing 3 and a fragrance box 1 installed on the panel body 2. The fragrance box 1 is placed inside the air conditioner housing 3. The fragrance box 1 includes a fixing base assembly and a fragrance box body 13 for placing the fragrance agent 12. The fragrance box body 13 is placed in the fixing base assembly. The fragrance box body 13 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 133 for releasing the gas of the fragrance agent 12; it further includes a lid driving assembly 4 connected to the fixing base assembly. The lid driving assembly 4 drives the fixing base assembly to an open state or a closed state to release or seal the gas of the fragrance agent 12.

[0059] The aromatic box 1 is arranged inside the air conditioner housing 3 so as to hide the aromatic box 1 inside the air conditioner, thereby effectively reducing the volatilization rate of the aromatic agent 12 in the aromatic box 1 on the one hand and ensuring the integrity of the overall appearance of the air conditioner on the other hand. And a fixing seat assembly is provided to isolate the aromatic box body 13 from other components inside the air conditioner, playing a protective role for the aromatic box body 13.

[0060] Among them, the panel body 2 is preferably installed at the bottom of the air conditioner housing 3, and both the aromatic box 1 and the box cover driving assembly 4 are installed on the side of the panel body 2 facing the air conditioner housing 3. When the fixing seat assembly is in the closed state, the gas of the aromatic agent 12 emitted from the second through hole 133 of the aromatic box body 13 can be released into the room from the fixing seat assembly. When the fixing seat assembly is in the open state, the gas of the aromatic agent 12 emitted from the second through hole 133 of the aromatic box body 13 will be sealed inside the fixing seat assembly, thereby preventing further emission of the aromatic agent 12.

[0061] The aromatic box 1 and the box cover driving assembly 4 can be selectively installed on the side of the panel body 2 facing the inside of the air conditioner, so that the aromatic box 1 and the box cover driving assembly 4 can be hidden inside the air conditioner housing 3, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0062] In this embodiment, an aromatic box 1 is provided on the panel body 2 of the air conditioner housing 3, a second through hole 133 for emitting the gas of the aromatic agent 12 is provided on the aromatic box body 13, and a fixing seat assembly wrapped around the aromatic box body 13 is provided. The fixing seat assembly can be opened or closed under the drive of the box cover driving assembly 4, so that when it is not necessary to use the gas of the aromatic agent 12 to help sleep, the fixing seat assembly can effectively seal the aromatic box body 13, thereby preventing waste of volatilization of the aromatic agent 12, improving the effective utilization rate of the aromatic agent 12, and also greatly reducing the frequency of replacing the aromatic box 1.

[0063] Preferably, the fixing seat assembly includes a fixing seat 11 and an aromatic box cover 14 connected to each other. The aromatic box cover 14 is connected to the box cover driving assembly 4, and the box cover driving assembly 4 drives the aromatic box cover 14 to move relative to the fixing seat 11 to achieve the open state or the closed state of the fixing seat assembly.

[0064] Among them, the aromatic box body 13 is placed inside the fixing seat 11. According to design requirements, the box cover driving assembly 4 can drive the aromatic box cover 14 to move up and down or horizontally relative to the aromatic box body 13. Moving up and down means that the aromatic box cover 14 moves up and down between the top and the bottom of the air conditioner housing 3 when the air conditioner is normally installed. Horizontal movement means movement in a direction perpendicular to the up and down movement direction.

[0065] In this embodiment, the fixed seat assembly is designed as a structure in which the fixed seat 11 and the aromatic box lid 14 are connected to each other. The box lid driving assembly 4 drives the aromatic box lid 14 to move, so as to open or close the fixed seat assembly. Therefore, when it is not necessary to use the gas of the aromatic agent 12 to help sleep, the second through hole 133 for emitting the gas of the aromatic agent 12 can be effectively blocked, thereby preventing the volatilization and waste of the aromatic agent 12, improving the effective utilization rate of the aromatic agent 12, and also greatly reducing the frequency of replacing the aromatic box 1.

[0066] Preferably, the aromatic box body 13 is connected with the fixed seat 11 in an interference fit manner.

[0067] The inner side of the fixed seat 11 is provided with a structure for fixedly installing the aromatic box body 13. The size of the structure cooperating with the aromatic box body 13 is slightly smaller than the outer shape size of the aromatic box body 13. When the aromatic box body 13 is installed on the fixed seat 11, an interference fit connection between the aromatic box body 13 and the fixed seat 11 is realized.

[0068] The fixed seat 11 is connected with the panel body 2 in an interference fit manner.

[0069] The panel body 2 is provided with a structure for fixedly installing the fixed seat 11. The structure can be a through hole penetrating the thickness of the panel body 2 or a groove on the inner surface of the panel body 2. The inner wall size of the through hole or the groove is slightly smaller than the outer wall size of the fixed seat 11. When the fixed seat 11 is installed on the panel body 2, an interference fit connection between the fixed seat 11 and the panel body 2 is realized.

[0070] Preferably, the fixed seat 11 and the panel body 2 are integrally formed.

[0071] Among them, the manufacturing material of the fixed seat 11 is the same as that of the panel body 2, and plastic material or metal material can be selected for manufacturing. After the fixed seat 11 is formed, it is located on the side of the panel body 2 facing the inside of the air conditioner, so as to ensure the integrity of the overall appearance of the air conditioner. ]

[0072] In this embodiment, the fixed seat 11 and the panel body 2 are designed as an integrally formed structure, which is simple to process, saves installation steps, and improves the assembly efficiency of the aromatic box 1.

[0073] Preferably, a plurality of second through holes 133 are provided at the top of the aromatic box body 13. The aromatic box lid 14 is located above the aromatic box body 13. The box lid driving assembly 4 drives the aromatic box lid 14 to move up and down, so as to open or close the second through hole 133.

[0074] The fragrance box lid 14 moves in the up and down direction. Here, the upward direction refers to the direction pointing to the top of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is normally installed, and the downward direction refers to the direction pointing to the bottom of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is normally installed. The bottom of the air conditioner housing 3 refers to the bottom surface of the air conditioner that is located at the lowest position when the air conditioner is normally installed. The top of the fragrance box body 13 refers to the uppermost position of the fragrance box body 13 when the air conditioner is normally installed.

[0075] The fragrance box body 13 includes an upper housing and a lower housing that are detachably connected to each other. The second through hole 133 is provided on the upper housing, and the fragrance agent 12 is placed in the lower housing. After the upper housing and the lower housing are connected to each other, the fragrance emitted by the fragrance agent 12 can be emitted from the second through hole 133; when the air conditioner is operating, the lid driving assembly 4 can push the fragrance box lid 14 upward to open the second through hole 133 located on the upper surface of the fragrance box body 13, so that the fragrance emitted from the second through hole 133 can be blown into the room along with the internal air flow of the air conditioner, thereby using the gas emitted by the fragrance agent 12 to improve the user's sleep quality. When the fragrance agent 12 is exhausted, the upper housing and the lower housing can also be disassembled to replace or add the fragrance agent 12 in the fragrance box body 13, so that the upper housing and the lower housing can be reused, reducing the later maintenance cost.

[0076] The fragrance box lid 14 is located directly above the fragrance box body 13. When the lid driving assembly 4 drives the fragrance box lid 14 to move downward and the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box lid 14 fits with the upper surface of the fragrance box body 13, the fragrance box lid 14 can completely cover the second through hole 133 on the fragrance box body 13, thereby ensuring that the fragrance box lid 14 can completely and effectively close the second through hole 133, and further preventing the fragrance agent 12 from volatilizing and wasting.

[0077] A plurality of second through holes 133 are evenly arranged in the middle area of the upper surface of the fragrance box body 13. On the one hand, it ensures that the gas emitted by the fragrance agent 12 can be smoothly emitted from the second through hole 133. On the other hand, when the fragrance box lid 14 closes the second through hole 133, it makes the edge area between the fragrance box lid 14 and the upper surface of the fragrance box body 13 completely sealed, thereby preventing the fragrance agent 12 from volatilizing and wasting.

[0078] The fixing seat 11 has an upward opening structure so that the fragrance box body 13 can be installed into the fixing seat 11, and it also helps the gas of the fragrance agent 12 in the fragrance box body 13 to be emitted into the air duct of the air conditioner, so that the gas of the fragrance agent 12 can be smoothly emitted into the room along with the air flow in the air duct of the air conditioner, and further improve the user's sleep quality; the horizontal cross-section of the fixing seat 11 is circular or square, and the specific structure is selected according to the design requirements.

[0079] In this embodiment, an aromatic box 1 is arranged inside the air conditioner housing 3. A second through hole 133 for emitting the gas of the aromatic agent 12 is arranged at the top of the aromatic box body 13, and an aromatic box cover 14 capable of sealing the second through hole 133 is arranged above the aromatic box body 13. The aromatic box cover 14 can move up and down under the drive of the cover driving assembly 4 to open or close the second through hole 133, so that when it is not necessary to use the gas of the aromatic agent 12 to help sleep, the second through hole 133 for emitting the gas of the aromatic agent 12 can be effectively blocked, thereby preventing the volatilization waste of the aromatic agent 12, improving the effective utilization rate of the aromatic agent 12, and greatly reducing the frequency of replacing the aromatic box 1; the fixing seat 11 of the aromatic box 1 is in interference fit with the panel body 2, and the aromatic box body 13 is in interference fit with the fixing seat 11, which can not only save the structural components for connecting the fixing seat 11 and the panel body 2 and the structural components for connecting the aromatic box body 13 and the fixing seat 11, achieving the purpose of saving raw materials and reducing the manufacturing cost, but also the interference connection method has a simple structure, is convenient and reliable to operate, and can greatly improve the assembly efficiency.

[0080] Preferably, as shown in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 4 the cover driving assembly 4 includes a first motor 41 and a gear 42 mounted on the motor shaft of the first motor 41. The aromatic box cover 14 is provided with a rack 141 engaged with the gear 42, and the gear 42 is drivingly connected to the rack 141.

[0081] Among them, the first motor 41 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the panel body 2 through a bracket. The relative positions between the aromatic box body 13 and the panel body 2 are fixed. The gear 42 is connected to the head of the motor shaft of the first motor 41 and is arranged close to the outer wall of the aromatic box body 13 so that the gear 42 can be smoothly connected to the rack 141; the rack 141 is vertically arranged at the edge of the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box cover 14, and the rack 141 vertically extends downward from the edge of the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box cover 14. The rack 141 is located outside the aromatic box body 13 to prevent interference between the rack 141 and the aromatic box body 13 when the gear 42 drives the rack 141 to move up and down.

[0082] In this embodiment, the cover driving assembly 4 is designed with a driving structure in which the gear 42 and the rack 141 cooperate with each other, so that the movement of the aromatic box cover 14 is more stable and reliable, and the rotation of the gear 42 is controlled by the first motor 41, which controls the moving height of the aromatic box cover 14 to meet the design requirements of different heights.

[0094] In this embodiment, a lifting device is provided to make driving the fragrance box cover 14 simpler and more convenient to operate.

[0095] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, the lifting device includes a motor housing (not shown in the figure) and a second motor 43, a worm gear 44 and a lifting worm 45 arranged in the motor housing. The worm gear 44 is installed on the motor shaft of the second motor 43. The lifting worm 45 and the worm gear 44 are driven and connected. The lifting worm 45 is connected to the fragrance box cover 14. The motor housing is installed on the air-conditioning housing 3. When the second motor 43 drives the worm gear 44 to move, the lifting worm 45 is suitable for moving up and down relative to the motor housing, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the fragrance box cover 14.

[0096] Among them, if the fragrance box cover 14 is to be moved in the up and down directions, the connection between the lifting worm 45 and the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box cover 14 can be a resistance connection. When the second motor 43 drives the worm gear 44 to rotate, the worm gear 44 can drive the lifting worm 45 to move upward. During the upward movement, the lifting worm 45 can press against the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box cover 14 to push the fragrance box cover 14 to move upward synchronously.

[0097] When the second motor 43 drives the worm gear 44 to rotate in the opposite direction, the worm gear can drive the lifting worm 45 to move downward. During the downward movement, the fragrance box cover 14 moves downward under the action of its own gravity until the fragrance box cover 14 covers the second through hole 133 of the fragrance box body 13.

[0098] In addition, the second motor 43, worm gear 44 and lifting worm 45 for controlling the up and down movement of the fragrance box cover 14 are all integrated in the motor housing, so that the cover drive assembly 4 is independent of other components inside the air conditioner, making subsequent replacement more convenient.

[0099] In this embodiment, a structure in which a worm wheel 44 and a lifting worm 45 cooperate with each other is adopted, making the transmission of the lid driving assembly 4 more stable and having a longer service life. The second motor 43, the worm wheel 44, and the lifting worm 45 are integrated in the motor housing, making the structure of the lid driving assembly 4 more compact and capable of isolating the transmission structure from other internal components of the air conditioner, effectively protecting the structure of the lid driving assembly 4 and extending its service life.

[0100] Preferably, the lid driving assembly 4 further includes a tension elastic member, and two ends of the tension elastic member are respectively connected to the fragrance box lid 14 and the air conditioner housing 3.

[0101] Among them, one end of the tension elastic member is connected to the edge of the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box lid 14, and the other end is connected to the panel body 2 of the air conditioner housing 3. The tension elastic member can be a rubber elastic member or a spring, and the free length of the tension elastic member is slightly less than the distance from the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box lid 14 to the panel body 2 of the air conditioner housing 3 when the fragrance box lid 14 covers the second through hole 133 of the fragrance box body 13, so as to ensure that the tension elastic member can tightly pull the fragrance box lid 14 on the upper surface of the fragrance box body 13.

[0102] In this embodiment, a tension elastic member is provided between the fragrance box lid 14 and the air conditioner housing 3, so that after the lifting worm 45 moves downward and resets, the tension elastic member can downwardly tightly pull the fragrance box lid 14 to cover the second through hole 133 of the fragrance box body 13, thereby ensuring that the fragrance box lid 14 can seal the second through hole 133 and prevent the volatilization and waste of the fragrance agent 12.

[0103] Preferably, as Figure 8 shown, a plurality of elastic convex hulls 143 respectively cooperating with a plurality of second through holes 133 are provided on the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box lid 14.

[0104] Among them, the elastic convex hull 143 can be made of rubber material and is connected to the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box lid 14 by an adhesive method. The positions of the elastic convex hulls 143 correspond to the positions of the second through holes 133 one by one, and the maximum outer diameter of the elastic convex hull 143 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the second through hole 133. When the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box lid 14 moves down to the upper surface of the fragrance box body 13, the elastic convex hull 143 can be squeezed into the second through hole 133.

[0105] In this embodiment, elastic convex hulls 143 cooperating with the second through holes 133 are provided on the lower bottom surface of the fragrance box lid 14, making the sealing effect of the fragrance box lid 14 on the second through holes 133 better, thereby more effectively preventing the volatilization and waste of the fragrance agent 12.

[0106] Preferably, as Figure 9As shown in the figure, the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box lid 14 is provided with a plurality of needle-shaped plug strips 144 respectively cooperating with a plurality of second through holes 133. The needle-shaped plug strips 144 are strip-shaped structures with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part. Here, "upper" refers to the direction towards the top of the aromatic box lid 14, and "lower" refers to the direction towards the bottom of the aromatic box lid 14.

[0107] Among them, the needle-shaped plug strips 144 can be made of plastic material and have a certain anti-deformation strength. The positions of the needle-shaped plug strips 144 correspond to the positions of the second through holes 133 one by one. When the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box lid 14 moves downward to fit with the upper surface of the aromatic box body 13, the needle-shaped plug strips 144 can completely extend into the second through holes 133, and at this time, the needle-shaped plug strips 144 can completely block the second through holes 133.

[0108] When the aromatic box lid orte 14 moves upward a small distance and the needle-shaped plug strips 144 have not completely disengaged from the second through holes 133, a small gap is formed between the needle-shaped plug strips 144 and the second through holes 133, and the gas of the aromatic agent 12 can emit from this small gap, and the emission amount is relatively small.

[0109] When the aromatic box lid 14 continues to move upward a certain distance and the needle-shaped plug strips 144 are completely disengaged from the second through holes 133, the second through holes 133 are all exposed inside the air conditioner, and the gas of the aromatic agent 12 smoothly emits from the second through holes 133. At this time, the area of the emission holes of the aromatic box body 13 is the largest, that is, the emission amount is the largest.

[0110] In this embodiment, needle-shaped plug strips 144 cooperating with the second through holes 133 are provided on the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box lid 14, and the size of the area where the gas of the aromatic agent 13 emits from the second through holes 133 is changed by controlling the height of the up and down movement, so as to control the gas emission amount of the aromatic agent 12 to meet different requirements.

[0111] Preferably, as Figure 10 shown, an elastic member 131 is provided on the outer wall of the aromatic box body 13, and the aromatic box body 13 is connected with the inner wall of the fixed seat 11 in an interference fit through the elastic member 131.

[0112] Among them, the elastic member 131 can be a rubber member with strong anti-deformation ability. The elastic member 131 is arranged on the outer wall of the aromatic box body 13 near the lower bottom surface. The inner wall of the fixed seat 11 is a flat and smooth surface. When the aromatic box body 13 is installed in the fixed seat 11, the elastic member 131 is pressed by an external force and then installed in the fixed seat 11, and the relative positions between the aromatic box body 13 and the fixed seat 11 are fixed by the elastic force of the elastic member 131.

[0113] In this embodiment, the elastic member 131 is used to achieve an interference fit connection between the aromatic box body 13 and the fixed seat 11. This not only avoids damaging the outer shape of the aromatic box body 13 during the assembly process but also plays a buffering role, reducing the impact of external forces on the aromatic box body 13 when subjected to external force impacts.

[0114] Preferably, as Figure 10 shown, the elastic member 131 includes a plurality of rubber bumps 1311, and the plurality of rubber bumps 1311 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the aromatic box body 13.

[0115] Among them, the number of the rubber bumps 1311 is at least three to ensure that the aromatic box body 13 can be stably installed in the fixed seat 11; the rubber bumps 1311 can adopt a disc-shaped structure. On the one hand, it can increase the contact area between the rubber bumps 1311 and the aromatic box body 13 to enhance the firmness of the rubber bumps 1311, and on the other hand, it can also increase the contact area between the rubber bumps 1311 and the inner wall of the fixed seat 11, making the fit between the aromatic box body 13 and the fixed seat 11 more firm.

[0116] In this embodiment, the design of setting the rubber bumps 1311 on the outer wall of the aromatic box body 13 can not only clamp the aromatic box body 13 in the fixed seat 11 by squeezing the rubber bumps 1311 to achieve an interference fit connection between the aromatic box body 13 and the fixed seat 11 but also enable the separate disassembly of the aromatic box body 13, facilitating the subsequent replacement of the aromatic box body 13.

[0117] Preferably, as Figure 11 shown, a plurality of convex strips 132 are provided on the outer wall of the aromatic box body 13, and a strip-shaped groove 111 matching the convex strips 132 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed seat 11. The aromatic box body 13 is in interference fit connection with the fixed seat 11 through the cooperation of the convex strips 132 and the strip-shaped groove 111.

[0118] Among them, the number of the convex strips 132 is at least two. The two convex strips 132 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower shell of the aromatic box body 13 respectively, and the convex strips 132 are arranged perpendicular to the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box body 13 to ensure that the aromatic box body 13 can be stably and smoothly installed in the fixed seat 11; the groove width dimension of the strip-shaped groove 111 is slightly smaller than the width of the convex strips 132 to achieve an interference fit connection between the aromatic box body 13 and the fixed seat 11.

[0119] In this embodiment, the interference fit connection method of the convex strips 132 and the strip-shaped groove 111 is adopted. This connection method has a simple structure, is convenient to install, and the connection between the aromatic box body 13 and the fixed seat 11 is more firm after being fitted.

[0120] Preferably, as Figure 12As shown, the bottom of the fixing base 11 has a first through hole 112, and the number of the first through holes 112 is one or more.

[0121] Wherein, the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box body 13 can be set to a transparent structure to facilitate the user to observe the usage amount of the aromatic agent 12 in the aromatic box body 13, which helps the user to judge whether it is necessary to replace or add the aromatic agent 12; the number of the first through holes 112 can be set to one or more. When there is one first through hole 112, the first through hole 112 is arranged at the middle position of the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box body 13; when there are multiple first through holes 112, the multiple first through holes 112 can form a mesh structure on the lower bottom surface of the aromatic box body 13. This mesh structure can not only support the aromatic box body 13, but also facilitate the user to smoothly observe the usage situation of the aromatic agent 12 in the aromatic box body 13.

[0122] In this embodiment, the first through hole 112 is arranged at the bottom of the fixing base 11 so that the user can observe the usage situation of the aromatic agent 12 in the aromatic box body 13, enabling the user to replace or add the aromatic agent 12 in a timely manner.

[0123] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown, the panel body 2 is provided with an installation through hole 21, and the outer wall of the fixing base 11 is connected with the inner wall of the installation through hole 21 in an interference fit manner.

[0124] Wherein, the installation through hole 21 penetrates through the thickness of the panel body 2 in the up-down direction. After the fixing base 11 and the installation through hole 21 are mutually matched, the fixing base 11 does not protrude from the lower surface of the panel body 2 to ensure the overall flatness and aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner housing 2; when the shape of the installation through hole 21 is a round hole, the inner diameter dimension of the installation through hole 21 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter dimension of the fixing base 11 to achieve the interference fit connection between the fixing base 11 and the panel body 2.

[0125] In this embodiment, the installation through hole 21 is arranged on the panel body 2 to facilitate the user to observe the aromatic box 1 from the outside of the air conditioner, thus helping the user to judge the usage situation of the aromatic agent 12 in the aromatic box 1.

[0126] Preferably, as Figure 13 shown, the area of the horizontal cross-section of the fixing base 11 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Here, "top" refers to the direction towards the top of the fixing base 11, and "bottom" refers to the direction towards the bottom of the fixing base 11.

[0127] Among them, the horizontal section refers to the section perpendicular to the up and down direction. The horizontal section of the fixing base 11 gradually decreases from top to bottom. That is, when the horizontal section of the fixing base 11 is circular, the outer diameter of the circle gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the minimum outer diameter of the fixing base 11 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting through hole 21, so that the fixing base 11 can be installed into the mounting through hole 21. Before installing the panel body 2 onto the air conditioner housing 3, the fixing base 11 is installed into the mounting through hole 21.

[0128] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the fixing base 11 is set as an inclined surface so that the fixing base 11 can smoothly perform an interference fit connection with the panel body 2. This installation structure is simple and easy to operate, and also makes the fit between the fixing base 11 and the panel body 2 more uniform.

[0129] Preferably, as Figure 13 shown, a retaining edge 22 extending in the direction of the center of the mounting through hole 21 is provided along the circumferential direction at the lower edge of the mounting through hole 21.

[0130] Among them, after the fixing base 11 is installed into the mounting through hole 21, the fixing base 11 does not extend beyond the lower end of the mounting through hole 21, and there is a connection gap between the inner wall of the lower end of the mounting through hole 21 and the fixing base 11. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a retaining edge 22 on the lower edge of the mounting through hole 21 to block this connection gap.

[0131] In this embodiment, the retaining edge 22 is added to block the connection gap between the fixing base 11 and the mounting through hole 21, making the appearance of the air conditioner more beautiful.

[0132] Preferably, as Figure 14 shown, the area of the horizontal section of the fixing base 11 gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0133] Among them, the horizontal section of the fixing base 11 gradually increases from top to bottom. That is, when the horizontal section of the fixing base 11 is circular, the outer diameter of the circle gradually increases from top to bottom, and the maximum outer diameter of the fixing base 11 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the mounting through hole 21, so that the fixing base 11 can be installed into the mounting through hole 21 and an interference fit connection between the fixing base 11 and the panel body 2 can be achieved.

[0134] In this embodiment, the horizontal section of the fixing base 11 is designed to have a structure that gradually increases from top to bottom, so that the fixing base 11 can be installed into the mounting through hole 21 from the outside of the air conditioner housing 3, making the installation more convenient. Moreover, the aroma box can be installed after the air conditioner housing 3 and the panel body 2 are assembled, making the installation more flexible. In addition, the fit gap between the fixing base 11 and the mounting through hole 21 is very small, which can increase the aesthetic degree.

[0135] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes the air conditioner panel structure as described above. The panel body 2 is disposed on the bottom surface of the air conditioner housing 3, and the gas of the fragrance agent 12 diffuses into the interior of the air conditioner, so that the gas of the fragrance agent 12 can be released into the room along with the air flow in the air duct.

[0136] In this embodiment, a fragrance box 1 is arranged in the air conditioner housing 3. A second through hole 133 for emitting the gas of the fragrance agent 12 is arranged at the top of the fragrance box body 13, and a fragrance box lid 14 capable of sealing the second through hole 133 is arranged above the fragrance box body 13. The fragrance box lid 14 can move up and down under the drive of the lid drive assembly 4 to open or close the second through hole 133, so that when the gas of the fragrance agent 12 is not needed for helping sleep, the second through hole 133 for emitting the gas of the fragrance agent 12 can be effectively blocked, thereby preventing the volatilization and waste of the fragrance agent 12, improving the effective utilization rate of the fragrance agent 12, and also greatly reducing the frequency of replacing the fragrance box 1; the fixing seat 11 of the fragrance box 1 is in interference fit with the panel body 2, and the fragrance box body 13 is in interference fit with the fixing seat 11, which can not only save the structural components for connecting the fixing seat 11 and the panel body 2 and the structural components for connecting the fragrance box body 13 and the fixing seat 11, achieving the purpose of saving raw materials and reducing the manufacturing cost, but also the interference connection method has a simple structure, convenient and reliable operation, and can greatly improve the assembly efficiency.

[0137] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
