Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air treatment equipment, and more particularly to an air treatment equipment. Background Art

[0002] In some air conditioners in the related art, a fresh air inlet is provided on the panel. In order to ensure the airtight connection between the fresh air inlet and the internal air duct of the air conditioner, the panel needs to be set in a fixed form to ensure the sealed connection at the fresh air inlet of the panel. If the panel is set in a movable form, the sealed connection at the fresh air inlet of the panel is likely to fail, resulting in problems such as air leakage and condensation. Therefore, restricted by this problem, the panel cannot be set in a movable form, which limits the panel design of the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0055] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0056] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0057] In some air conditioners in the related art, a fresh air inlet is provided on the panel. In order to ensure the airtight connection between the fresh air inlet and the internal air duct of the air conditioner, the panel needs to be set in a fixed form to ensure the sealed connection at the fresh air inlet of the panel. If the panel is set in a movable form, the sealed connection at the fresh air inlet of the panel is likely to fail, resulting in problems such as air leakage and condensation. Therefore, restricted by this problem, the panel cannot be set in a movable form, which limits the design of the panel of the air conditioner. In addition, in some air conditioners in the related art, a display module is provided on the inner frame of the panel. In order to ensure the display effect of the display module, the display module needs to be attached to the panel. If the panel is set in a movable form, the frictional resistance between the display module and the panel is relatively large. If the display module is set not to be attached to the panel, light leakage will occur, causing a display halo problem. Therefore, restricted by this problem, the panel cannot be set in a movable form, which limits the design of the panel of the air conditioner. To solve at least one of the above technical problems, the present application proposes an air handling device 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention.

[0058] Next, with reference to the drawings, an air handling device 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention will be described.

[0059] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the air handling device 100 may include: a front frame 1, a panel 2, and a panel driving assembly 3. The front frame 1 has an air outlet area 11 and a set function area 12 which are spaced apart. The panel 2 is movably provided outside the front frame 1 to open and close the air outlet area 11 and always covers the set function area 12. It should be noted that the statement "the panel 2 covers the set function area 12" is understood in a broad sense, that is, as long as the panel 2 is located outside the set function area 12. When the panel 2 covers the set function area 12 with a light-transmitting area, if a light-emitting element (such as the light emission of the display module 42 described later) is provided at the set function area 12, the light can pass through the light-transmitting area on the part of the panel 2 covering the set area. When the panel 2 covers the set function area 12 with a ventilation area, if the set function area 12 can be ventilated (such as provided with a ventilation port 13 described later), the ventilation can be sent outwards through the ventilation area (such as the auxiliary air outlet 21 described later) on the part of the panel 2 covering the set area.

[0060] As Figures 1-6As shown, the panel driving component 3 is connected to the panel 2 and drives the panel 2 to move between an open position for opening the air outlet area 11 and a closed position for closing the air outlet area 11. For example, in the closed position, the panel 2 covers at least half of the air outlet area 11. In other words, more than half of the air outlet area 11 is covered by the panel 2. In the open position, the panel 2 avoids at least half of the air outlet area 11. In other words, more than half of the air outlet area 11 is not covered by the panel 2. Optionally, in the open position, the panel 2 can completely avoid the air outlet area 11, that is, the air outlet area 11 is not covered by the panel 2 at all. In the closed position, the panel 2 can completely cover the air outlet area 11.

[0061] Specifically, the panel 2 is movably disposed outside the face frame 1 and always covers the set function area 12. The panel 2 can move relative to the face frame 1 between an open position that avoids at least half of the air outlet area 11 and a closed position that covers at least half of the air outlet area 11. For example Figure 1 and Figure 3 as shown, the panel 2 is in the closed position. When the panel 2 is in the closed position, the panel 2 covers the air outlet area 11 and at the same time covers the set function area 12 (in combination with Figure 2 ). For example Figure 4 as shown, at the intermediate position when the panel 2 moves from the closed position to the open position. When the panel 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, the panel 2 gradually avoids the air outlet area 11 and always covers the set function area 12 (in combination with Figure 2 ). For example Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, the panel 2 is in the open position. When the panel 2 is in the open position, the panel 2 avoids the air outlet area 11, that is, the panel 2 does not cover the air outlet area 11, and at the same time covers the set function area 12 (in combination with Figure 2 ).

[0062] Thus, when the air outlet area 11 needs to be used, the panel 2 can be driven to the open position so that the air outlet area 11 is not covered by the panel 2. If the air outlet area 11 is not covered by other components (such as the air deflector 7 described later), air can be sent out through the air outlet area 11. When the air outlet area 11 does not need to be used, the panel 2 can be driven to the closed position so that the air outlet area 11 is covered by the panel 2, thereby protecting the air outlet area 11 from entering dirt and being damaged, etc., improving the product reliability and cleanliness. And if there are other components (such as the air deflector 7 described later) provided in the air outlet area 11, these other components can also be protected by the panel 2 in the closed position, thus avoiding damage to other components provided in the air outlet area 11, thereby improving the reliability of the product.

[0063] In addition, it should be noted that the specific type of the air handling device 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention is not limited, and it can be a device with an air outlet function, such as an air conditioner, an air purifier, etc. When the specific type of the air handling device 100 is determined, those skilled in the art can know other components of the air handling device 100. For example, when the air handling device 100 is an air conditioner, the air handling device 100 may further include a heat exchanger, etc. When the air handling device 100 is an air purifier, the air handling device 100 may further include a purification module, etc.

[0064] In addition, in order to adjust the air supply volume, the air supply angle, etc., as Figure 6 shown, a wind guiding component may also be provided in the air outlet area 11, such as wind guiding louvers embedded in the air outlet area 11, and / or a wind guiding plate 7 provided at the air outlet area 11. For example, the wind guiding plate 7 may be installed on the front frame 1. Combining Figure 1 , when the panel 2 is in the closed position, since the wind guiding plate 7 is installed in the air outlet area 11 and the air outlet area 11 is covered by the panel 2, at least part of the wind guiding plate 7 is also hidden inside the panel 2 and is protected by the panel 2. Combining Figure 6 , when the panel 2 is in the open position, since the air outlet area 11 is not covered by the panel 2, the wind guiding plate 7 installed in the air outlet area 11 may also not be covered by the panel 2 and is exposed, so that it is not blocked by the panel 2 and can move, such as making a pushing movement, or a rotating movement, etc., so as to realize wind guiding adjustment.

[0065] In addition, it should be noted that the air outlet of the air handling device 100 is not limited to only including the air outlet area 11 provided on the front frame 1. For example, when the air handling device 100 is a wall-mounted air conditioner and the front frame 1 is located at the front of the air handling device 100 and the air outlet area 11 is located at the lower part of the front frame 1, a air supply area may also be provided at the front part of the bottom surface of the air handling device 100, so as to increase the air supply volume, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0066] The applicant has found that other auxiliary air supply functions besides the main air supply can be added to the air handling device. For example, for an air conditioner, the air outlet area can be used to supply cold and hot air, and at the same time, the set function area can be used to supply air for other auxiliary functions (such as fresh air function, purification function, humidification function, etc.). For an air purifier, the air outlet area can be used to supply purified air, and at the same time, the set function area can be used to supply air for other auxiliary functions (such as heating function, fresh air function, humidification function, etc.).

[0067] Based on this, vents can be set in the set function area of the face frame. At the same time, auxiliary air outlets can be set at positions corresponding to the vents on the panel. At this time, in addition to the main air duct connected to the air outlet area, the air treatment equipment can also be provided with an auxiliary air duct connected to the vent. The auxiliary air duct can be used to transport airflow for auxiliary functions (such as fresh air function, purification function, humidification function, heating function, etc.), so that the airflow of the auxiliary air duct can be sent out of the panel through the vents and the auxiliary air outlets in sequence.

[0068] If the panel is immovable relative to the face frame, a sealing structure can be provided between the panel and the face frame to ensure the airtight connection between the vent and the auxiliary outlet, thereby preventing air leakage or condensation and water leakage. In the embodiment of the present invention, the panel is movable relative to the face frame, and the sealing structure can no longer maintain a connection and seal with both the face frame and the panel, otherwise the panel cannot move. In addition, if the sealing structure is always in contact with the panel for frictional sealing, firstly, the movement of the panel relative to the face frame needs to overcome a very large resistance, resulting in excessive energy consumption of the panel drive assembly, requiring the use of a high-power drive motor, resulting in an increase in the cost of the motor and more power consumption. Secondly, the panel drive assembly is easily damaged by force, and the service life is difficult to guarantee. Thirdly, it is easy to generate large friction contact noise, and cause wear of the panel and the sealing structure, etc., affecting the airtight effect, causing air leakage and condensation. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a solution that "when the panel is movable relative to the face frame, it can minimize the influence on the movement of the panel and better ensure the sealing effect between the set functional area and the panel".

[0069] In addition, the applicant has also found that for some air handling equipment, the panel needs to have a display module, which can be used for display, or display and receive control signals, etc., wherein the display can be specifically used to display temperature, humidity, time, working mode, etc., and the receiving of control signals can be: receiving touch control signals, receiving pressure control signals, receiving remote control signals, etc. If the panel is immovable relative to the face frame, the display module can be directly installed on the inner side of the panel.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present invention, the panel is movable relative to the face frame. If the display module is installed on the panel, the docking wires of the display module must be connected to the face frame or the main control board inside the face frame. Therefore, when the panel moves relative to the face frame, the docking wires of the display module will also move accordingly. In order to avoid problems such as movement damage of the docking wires, the wire cores of the docking wires need to be of higher quality and higher cost. Otherwise, the docking wires may fail easily, resulting in problems such as unstable or malfunctioning display and control functions.

[0071] To solve this problem, the applicant came up with the idea of setting the display module in the set functional area of the front frame, which can avoid the damage problem caused by the movement of the wiring following the panel, reduce the requirements for the wire cores of the connection wires and the cost, and improve the reliability and stability of the display and control functions. However, the applicant also found that since the panel needs to move relative to the front frame, an active gap needs to be left between the display module fixedly installed on the front frame and the panel to avoid hindering the movement of the panel. However, due to the presence of the active gap, the display module cannot be tightly attached to the panel, resulting in the problem of display halos on the panel and affecting the display effect. Therefore, a solution is needed where "when the panel is movable relative to the front frame, the display module can be tightly attached to the panel when needed".

[0072] To solve at least one of the above two problems, in an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the air handling device 100 further includes: a movable component 4, the movable component 4 is disposed in the set functional area 12 and is located inside the panel 2. The movable component 4 includes a movable base 41 movably connected to the front frame 1, and the movable base 41 can move relative to the front frame 1 in the inner and outer directions between a pushed-out position and a retracted position. Herein, "outer" refers to the outer side of the panel 2, that is, the side of the appearance surface of the panel 2, and "inner" refers to the inner side of the panel 2, that is, the side of the panel 2 facing the inside of the air handling device 100.

[0073] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, and Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, in the pushed-out position, the outer surface of the movable component 4 is in contact and cooperation with the panel 2. As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, in the retracted position, the outer surface of the movable component 4 is in clearance fit with the panel 2. Thus, by making the movable base 41 in the pushed-out position and using the contact and cooperation between the outer surface of the movable component 4 and the panel 2, the usage requirements of the movable component 4 (such as sealing requirements or display non-halo requirements) can be met. When the movable component 4 is not needed, the problem of hindering the movement of the panel 2 between the open position and the closed position can be avoided by making the movable base 41 in the retracted position and using the clearance fit between the outer surface of the movable component 4 and the panel 2. It should be noted that the "outer surface" described herein refers to: the outer side surface, that is, the side surface facing the panel 2.

[0074] For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 7 shown, a ventilation opening 13 is formed in the set functional area. Combining Figure 1, an auxiliary air outlet 21 corresponding to the ventilation opening 13 is formed on the panel 2. The movable base 41 is a frame-shaped member that surrounds the ventilation opening 13, and the outer surface of the frame-shaped member constitutes the outer surface of the movable assembly 4. It should be noted that the frame-shaped member can be an integrally formed structural member (such as a plastic frame, a metal frame, etc.), or it can be composed of multiple structural members. The materials of the multiple structural members participating in the combination can be the same or different. For example, the frame-shaped member can include a frame body and a sealing material member provided on the outside of the frame body. The frame body can be made of a relatively hard material (such as plastic, metal, etc.), while the sealing material member can be made of a material with better sealing performance (such as rubber, sponge, brush, nylon, etc.).

[0075] For example Figure 8 and Figure 9 as shown, and Figures 12-13 as shown, when the movable base 41 is in the extended position, the outer surface of the frame-shaped member is in contact and cooperation with the panel 2. Thus, the frame-shaped member can achieve a sealing effect, enabling a relatively effective sealed connection between the ventilation opening 13 and the auxiliary air outlet 21, reducing the problem of air leakage between the frame-shaped member and the panel 2 from the air sent out through the ventilation opening 13, and reducing the problem of condensation on the panel 2.

[0076] Another example Figures 10-11 as shown, when the movable base 41 is in the retracted position, the outer surface of the frame-shaped member is in clearance fit with the panel 2, so that there is no contact friction between the outer surface of the frame-shaped member and the panel 2. Thus, the panel 2 can move smoothly between the open position and the closed position without being affected by the resistance of the frame-shaped member, reducing the driving energy consumption of the panel 2, reducing the power requirements and input costs for the panel driving assembly 3, improving the wear caused by friction between the panel 2 and the frame-shaped member, resulting in problems such as poor sealing and condensation, and improving problems such as friction noise.

[0077] Optionally, when the panel 2 is in the open position (as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown) and the closed position (as Figures 12-13 shown), the movable base 41 is in the extended position. Thus, regardless of whether the panel 2 opens the air outlet area 11 or closes the air outlet area 11, the frame-shaped member can be in the extended position and be in sealed cooperation with the panel 2, thereby enabling the auxiliary ventilation function to be achieved in both cases. That is to say, when the air outlet area 11 is opened to achieve the main ventilation function, the auxiliary ventilation function can be achieved through the auxiliary air outlet 21. When the air outlet area 11 is closed and the main ventilation function is not carried out, the auxiliary ventilation function can still be achieved through the auxiliary air outlet 21. Therefore, the use of the auxiliary ventilation function is very flexible and not restricted by the main ventilation function.

[0078] It can be understood that when the panel 2 moves between the open position and the closed position, the movable base body 41 can be located at the retracted position, so as to ensure the smooth movement of the panel 2 without the resistance of the frame member. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can also be designed that: only when the panel 2 is in the open position (as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown), the movable base body 41 is located at the extended position, so that only when the air outlet area 11 is opened to realize the main ventilation function, the auxiliary ventilation function can be realized through the auxiliary air outlet 21; or it can also be designed that: only when the panel 2 is in the closed position (as Figures 12-13 shown), the movable base body 41 is located at the extended position, so that only when the air outlet area 11 is closed and the main ventilation function is not performed, the auxiliary ventilation function can be realized through the auxiliary air outlet 21, and so on, which will not be elaborated here.

[0079] For example, in the embodiments shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the movable assembly 4 further includes a display module 42. The display module 42 is arranged on the movable base body 41 to move synchronously with the movable base body 41. The display surface of the display module 42 constitutes the outer surface of the movable assembly 4. When the movable base body 41 is located at the extended position, the display surface of the display module 42 is in contact and cooperation with the panel 2, so as to avoid the problem of light leakage due to the gap between the display surface and the panel 2, resulting in halos in the display of the panel 2 and making the display of the panel 2 clear.

[0080] When the movable base body 41 is located at the retracted position, the display surface of the display module 42 is in clearance fit with the panel 2, so that there is no contact friction between the display surface of the display module 42 and the panel 2, so that the panel 2 can move smoothly between the open position and the closed position without being affected by the resistance of the display surface of the display module 42, thereby reducing the driving energy consumption of the panel 2, reducing the power requirement and input cost of the panel driving assembly 3, improving the problem of wear caused by friction between the panel 2 and the display surface of the display module 42, resulting in wear and damage of the display surface, and the problem that it is difficult to contact and cooperate with the panel 2 well and difficult to display clearly, and improving problems such as friction noise.

[0081] Optionally, when the panel 2 is in the closed position (as Figures 14-15 shown) and the open position, the movable base body 41 is located at the extended position. Thus, whether the panel 2 opens the air outlet area 11 or closes the air outlet area 11, the display surface of the display module 42 can be in contact and cooperation with the panel 2 to achieve clear display. That is to say, when the air outlet area 11 is opened to realize the main ventilation function, clear display can be achieved through the display module 42, and when the air outlet area 11 is closed and the main ventilation function is not performed, clear display can still be achieved through the display module 42. Therefore, the use of the display module 42 to achieve clear display is very flexible and not restricted by the main ventilation function.

[0082] It can be understood that when the panel 2 moves between the open position and the closed position, the movable base 41 can be located at the retracted position, so as to ensure the smooth movement of the panel 2 without being resisted by the display module 42. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can also be designed that: only when the panel 2 is in the open position, the movable base 41 is in the extended position, so that clear display can be achieved through the display module 42 only when the air outlet area 11 is opened to realize the main ventilation function; or it can also be designed that: only when the panel 2 is in the closed position (as Figures 14-15 shown), the movable base 41 is in the extended position, so that clear display can be achieved through the display module 42 only when the air outlet area 11 is closed and the main ventilation function is not performed, and so on, which will not be elaborated here.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 7 shown, when a ventilation opening 13 is formed in the set function area, an auxiliary air outlet 21 corresponding to the ventilation opening 13 is formed on the panel 2, and the movable base 41 is a frame-shaped member surrounding the ventilation opening 13, a border portion 14 surrounding the ventilation opening 13 protrudes from the outer surface of the front frame 1, and the frame-shaped member is arranged on the outer side of the front frame 1 and sleeved on the border portion 14. That is, the frame-shaped member is arranged on the side of the front frame 1 facing the panel 2 and surrounds the border portion 14. Thereby, the assembly simplicity between the front frame 1 and the frame-shaped member can be improved, the assembly efficiency can be improved, and through the socketing cooperation between the frame-shaped member and the border portion 14, the sealing performance between the front frame 1 and the frame-shaped member can be improved, and the probability of air flow flowing out from the ventilation opening 13 leaking between the front frame 1 and the frame-shaped member can be reduced.

[0084] In addition, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the frame-shaped member can also pass through the front frame 1, that is, a part of the frame-shaped member is located inside the front frame 1, and the rest is located outside the front frame 1, and so on, which will not be elaborated here. In addition, the border portion 14 protruding in the direction of the panel 2 can also not be provided on the front frame 1. For example, an annular groove recessed in the direction away from the panel 2 can also be provided on the front frame 1, the border portion 14 is embedded in the annular groove, and moves inside and outside along the depth direction of the annular groove, and so on, which will not be elaborated here.

[0085] As Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, when the outer surface of the front frame 1 protrudes with a frame portion 14 arranged around the ventilation opening 13, and the frame-shaped member is arranged on the outside of the front frame 1 and sleeved on the frame portion 14, optionally, a sealing ring 410 extending in the direction towards the frame portion 14 is provided at the inner end of the frame-shaped member (i.e., the end far from the panel 2), and a stop portion 140 that stops on the outer side of the sealing ring 410 (i.e., the side close to the panel 2) is provided at the outer end of the frame portion 14 (i.e., the end close to the panel 2). It can be understood that in order to achieve the socketing and movable cooperation between the frame-shaped member and the frame portion 14, the cross-sectional shapes of the frame-shaped member and the frame portion 14 can be matched, and there is a fitting gap, so as to ensure that the frame-shaped member can move relative to the front frame 1 in the inner and outer directions.

[0086] Therefore, there is a fitting gap between the frame portion 14 and the frame-shaped member. By setting the sealing ring 410, the risk of air leakage from the fitting gap between the frame portion 14 and the frame-shaped member can be reduced. Moreover, the relative positions of the sealing ring 410 and the stop portion 140 can be used to achieve stop and limit. Thus, before the panel 2 is installed, the frame-shaped member can be pre-installed on the front side of the front frame 1, and the cooperation and limit between the sealing ring 410 and the stop portion 140 can be used to avoid the problem of the frame-shaped member falling off from the front frame 1, thereby simplifying the assembly operation and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0087] It should be noted that the stop portion 140 can be annular or non-annular. For example, several (such as Figure 7 shown) can be arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the sealing ring 410. In addition, in order to facilitate the sealing cooperation between the sealing ring 410 and the stop portion 140, assembly guiding surfaces (such as inclined surfaces, curved surfaces, etc.) can be respectively provided at the position of the sealing ring 410 corresponding to the stop portion 140 and on the stop portion 140, so as to improve the assembly convenience of the two and avoid damage to the sealing ring 410 and the stop portion 140 when the frame-shaped member is assembled with the front frame 1.

[0088] It should be noted that the front frame 1 can be an integrally formed part or composed of multiple split parts. For example, when the front frame 1 is composed of multiple split parts, a set functional area can be separately set as a split part and assembled with the rest of the front frame 1, or the front frame 1 can be integrally processed into an integrally formed part, so as to simplify the processing and improve the structural reliability of the front frame 1.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the air handling device 100 may further include: an elastic reset member 5 and a linkage mechanism 6. The elastic reset member 5 is arranged between the front frame 1 and the movable base body 41 and provides an elastic force for the movable base body 41 to move towards the pushing-out position (such as Figure 8As shown, the elastic reset member 5 applies an elastic force horizontally to the right on the movable base 41); the linkage mechanism 6 includes a mating member 61 and a linkage member 62. The mating member 61 is provided on the movable base 41, and the linkage member 62 is provided on the panel 2. The linkage member 62 moves with the panel 2. Driven by the panel 2, the linkage member 62 can act on the mating member 61 to push the movable base 41 to move to the retracted position. That is to say, when the panel 2 moves relative to the face frame 1, the panel 2 drives the linkage member 62 to act on the mating member 61, so that the mating member 61 drives the movable base 41 to move to the retracted position, thereby reducing the resistance caused by the movement of the movable assembly 4 to the movement of the panel 2.

[0090] Thus, through the movement of the panel 2 and in conjunction with the linkage mechanism 6, the movable assembly 4 is pushed to retract, so that there is no need to provide a driving motor, etc., thereby simplifying the power source for driving the movement of the movable assembly 4, simplifying the structure and reducing the cost. Moreover, by utilizing the movement of the panel 2 assembly, the movable assembly 4 is linked to retract, so that the timing of the retraction of the movable assembly 4 is reliable, and it can retract in time to reduce the frictional resistance when the panel 2 moves. In addition, by providing the elastic reset member 5 to push the movable base 41 to reset, when the panel 2 moves in place, the elastic reset member 5 can be used to automatically realize the contact and cooperation between the outer surface of the movable assembly 4 and the panel 2, further simplifying the structure for driving the reset of the movable assembly 4 and reducing the cost, and the design is very ingenious.

[0091] Optionally, the mating member 61 and the linkage member 62 can act in at least one of the ways of magnetic repulsion and wedge fit. Thus, flexible design can be achieved, avoiding the limitations brought by a single design form.

[0092] For example, in Figure 8 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12 In the shown example, the mating member 61 and the linkage member 62 are in wedge fit, that is, the pushing is achieved through wedge fit. One of the mating member 61 and the linkage member 62 is a guide post 63, and the other is a guide block, and it includes a first section 64, a third section 65 and a second section 66 connected in sequence. That is to say, when the mating member 61 is the guide post 63, the linkage member 62 is the guide block, and it includes a first section 64, a third section 65 and a second section 66 connected in sequence. When the linkage member 62 is the guide post 63, the mating member 61 is the guide block, and it includes a first section 64, a third section 65 and a second section 66 connected in sequence. Among them, the third section 65 protrudes from the first section 64 and the second section 66. As Figure 8 shown, when the panel 2 is in the closed position, the first section 64 is opposite to the guide post 63 (such as in contact fit or clearance fit), and the movable base 41 is in the extended position. As Figure 10 shown, when the panel 2 is between the closed position and the open position, the third section 65 abuts against the guide post 63, and the movable base 41 is in the retracted position. As Figure 12As shown, when the panel 2 is in the open position, the second section 66 is opposite to the guide post 63 (such as in contact fit or clearance fit), and the movable base 41 is in the ejection position.

[0093] Specifically, since the third section 65 protrudes from the first section 64 and the second section 66, when the guide post 63 moves to a position opposite to the first section 64, the movable base 41 can, under the action of the elastic reset member 5, drive the movable base 41 to move towards the ejection position until the outer surface of the movable assembly 4 is in contact fit with the panel 2, so that the movable base 41 reaches the ejection position. At this time, the first section 64 and the guide post 63 can also be in a contact fit state or a non-contact state, thereby reducing the machining accuracy of the first section 64. Similarly, when the guide post 63 moves to a position opposite to the second section 66, the movable base 41 can, under the action of the elastic reset member 5, drive the movable base 41 to move towards the ejection position until the outer surface of the movable assembly 4 is in contact fit with the panel 2, so that the movable base 41 reaches the ejection position. At this time, the second section 66 and the guide post 63 can also be in a contact fit state or a non-contact state, thereby reducing the machining accuracy of the second section 66.

[0094] Thus, through the wedge fit, the linkage can be simply and effectively realized. As the panel 2 moves, when the panel 2 is in the open position and the closed position, the movable base 41 is in the ejection position, so that the auxiliary function can be realized flexibly without being affected by the main ventilation function. For example, whether the panel 2 opens the air outlet area 11 or closes the air outlet area 11, the frame member can be in the ejection position and be in sealing fit with the panel 2, so that the auxiliary ventilation function can be realized. That is to say, when the air outlet area 11 is opened to realize the main ventilation function, the auxiliary ventilation function can be realized through the auxiliary air outlet 21. When the air outlet area 11 is closed and the main ventilation function is not carried out, the auxiliary ventilation function can still be realized through the auxiliary air outlet 21. Therefore, the use of the auxiliary ventilation function is very flexible and not restricted by the main ventilation function. Another example is that whether the panel 2 opens the air outlet area 11 or closes the air outlet area 11, the display surface of the display module 42 can be in contact fit with the panel 2 to achieve clear display. That is to say, when the air outlet area 11 is opened to realize the main ventilation function, clear display can be achieved through the display module 42. When the air outlet area 11 is closed and the main ventilation function is not carried out, clear display can still be achieved through the display module 42. Therefore, the use of the display module 42 to achieve clear display is very flexible and not restricted by the main ventilation function. Moreover, when the panel 2 moves between the open position and the closed position, the movable base 41 can be in the retracted position, so as to ensure that the panel 2 moves smoothly without being resisted by the frame member or the display module 42.

[0095] Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can also be designed such that: only when the panel 2 is in the open position, the movable base 41 is in the extended position. At this time, the first section 64 can be set to protrude as much as the third section 65, so that only when the air outlet area 11 is opened to achieve the main ventilation function, the auxiliary ventilation function can be achieved through the auxiliary air outlet 21, or a clear display can be achieved through the display module 42. Or it can also be designed such that: only when the panel 2 is in the closed position, the movable base 41 is in the extended position. At this time, the second section 66 can be set to protrude as much as the third section 65, so that only when the air outlet area 11 is closed and the main ventilation function is not performed, the auxiliary ventilation function can be achieved through the auxiliary air outlet 21, or a clear display can be achieved through the display module 42, and so on. Details are not described herein.

[0096] Optionally, in combination with Figure 16 , the guide post 63 includes a roller 67. Thus, the rolling friction between the roller 67 and the guide block can further reduce the movement resistance of the panel 2. Optionally, in combination with Figure 16 , the third section 65 of the guide block and the connection parts of the first section 64 and the second section 66 respectively have guide inclined surfaces 68. That is to say, the third section 65 is connected to the first section 64 through the guide inclined surface 68, and the third section 65 is also connected to the second section 66 through the guide inclined surface 68, so that the movement smoothness of the panel 2 can be further improved, and the problem of the panel 2 getting stuck during movement can be avoided.

[0097] In addition, when the mating part 61 and the linkage part 62 act through magnetic repulsion, a first magnet can be provided on the mating part 61 and a second magnet can be provided on the linkage part 62. The magnetic poles of the first magnet and the second magnet are the same. When they are opposite in position, repulsion will occur. Thus, it can be set such that when the panel 2 is between the open position and the closed position, the first magnet and the second magnet are staggered and do not repel each other. At this time, under the action of the elastic resetting member 5, the movable base 41 is driven to move towards the extended position until the outer surface of the movable assembly 4 contacts and cooperates with the panel 2, so that the movable base 41 reaches the extended position. And when the panel 2 is in the open position or the closed position, the first magnet and the second magnet are opposite and repel each other to overcome the elastic force of the elastic resetting member 5, so that the movable base 41 reaches the retracted position. Thus, linkage can also be achieved. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto. It should be noted that an electromagnet or the like can also be used to replace at least one of the first magnet and the second magnet, and details are not described herein.

[0098] It should be noted that when the mating part 61 is provided on the movable base 41 and the linkage part 62 is provided on the panel 2, the mating part 61 and the movable base 41 can be integrally formed parts, or separate parts and assembled and connected. The linkage part 62 and the panel 2 can be integrally formed parts, or separate parts and assembled and connected. Similarly, when the mating part 61 is provided on the panel 2 and the linkage part 62 is provided on the movable base 41, the mating part 61 and the panel 2 can be integrally formed parts, or separate parts and assembled and connected. The linkage part 62 and the movable base 41 can be integrally formed parts, or separate parts and assembled and connected. In addition, the number and arrangement positions of the mating part 61 and the linkage part 62 are not limited and can be specifically set according to the action modes of the two. For example, when the mating part 61 is the above-mentioned guide post 63 and the linkage part 62 is the above-mentioned guide block, there can be two mating parts 61 and they are arranged on both sides of the movable base 41 at intervals along the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the panel 2 (for example Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown), and the number and arrangement positions of the guide blocks correspond to the number and arrangement positions of the guide posts 63.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a guiding part 411 can be provided on the movable base 41. A through hole 412 is formed on the guiding part 411. A limiting post 15 is provided on the face frame 1. The limiting post 15 passes through the through hole 412. The elastic resetting part 5 is a cylindrical spring. The cylindrical spring is sleeved on the limiting post 15 and abuts between the face frame 1 and the guiding part 411. Thus, the structure of the elastic resetting part 5 is simple, the cost is low, it is convenient for assembly, and the elastic force is stable. And through the cooperation of the limiting post 15 and the through hole 412, a guiding effect can be achieved to guide the frame-shaped part to move stably in the inner and outer directions. It should be noted that if the present invention does not choose this, the elastic resetting part 5 can also be rubber, an airbag or other forms of springs, etc., which will not be elaborated here. In addition, the connection manner between the movable base 41 and the guiding part 411 is not limited. For example, they can be integrally formed, or separate parts and assembled and connected.

[0100] It should be noted that the air handling device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may not include the elastic reset member 5 and the linkage mechanism 6, and the movable base 41 can be moved between the extended position and the retracted position in other ways. For example, in some other embodiments, the air handling device 100 may further include: a movable drive assembly (not shown in the figure), the movable drive assembly includes a drive motor and a drive mechanism, and the drive motor drives the movable base 41 through the drive mechanism to reciprocate between the extended position and the retracted position. For example, the drive mechanism can be a gear-rack mechanism, a crank-slider mechanism, a worm-gear mechanism, etc. Thus, without the need for the panel 2 to be linked, through programming control of the drive motor, when the outer surface of the movable component 4 needs to be in contact and cooperation with the panel 2, the movable base 41 can be driven to the extended position, and when the outer surface of the movable component 4 needs to be in clearance fit with the panel 2, the movable base 41 can be driven to the retracted position. In addition, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a hydraulic system or a starting system can also be used to replace the drive motor, which will not be elaborated here.

[0101] It should be noted that the specific composition of the panel drive assembly 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 17-20 shown, the panel drive assembly 3 may include: a panel 2 fixing portion 31, a front frame 1 fixing bracket 32, a drive rack 33, a drive gear 34, a drive motor 35, a front frame 1 sealing cover 36, a panel 2 hinge 37, etc., so that the structure is simple and fast driving can be achieved. In addition, the number of the panel drive assemblies 3 is not limited. For example, there can be multiple and they are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the panel 2, so as to improve the reliability and stability of driving the panel 2 to move.

[0102] Next, a specific example of the air handling device 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0103] As Figure 1 shown, in this example, the air handling device 100 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, and the length direction is the left-right direction, the width direction is the up-down direction, and the thickness direction is the front-back direction. A front frame 1 is provided on the front side of the wall-mounted air conditioner, an air outlet area 11 is provided at the lower part of the front frame 1, a setting function area 12 is provided on one side above the air outlet area 11, a ventilation opening 13 is provided in the setting function area 12, a panel 2 is provided on the front side of the front frame 1, and an auxiliary air outlet 21 is provided at the position corresponding to the ventilation opening 13 on the panel 2.

[0104] The panel 2 can move up and down relative to the front frame 1 through the panel 2 drive member. As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, when the panel 2 moves downward, it can reach the closed position. At this time, the panel 2 covers the air outlet area 11, and the appearance looks more concise. As Figure 5As shown in FIGS. 6, when the panel 2 moves upward to reach the open position, the panel 2 opens the air outlet area 11 at this time.

[0105] Inside the wall-mounted air conditioner, there are a main heat exchange air duct and a fresh air duct. The main heat exchange air duct is communicated with the air outlet area 11, and the fresh air duct is communicated with the ventilation opening 13. In Figure 1 the first state shown, the panel 2 is in the closed position, covering the air outlet area 11, and heat exchange air supply cannot be carried out. At this time, the ventilator of the main heat exchange air duct can be closed. However, the auxiliary air outlet 21 on the panel 2 is still opposite to the ventilation opening 13. If the fresh air duct has air flow, for example, the ventilator of the fresh air duct is turned on, fresh air supply can be carried out, that is, fresh air can be sent out from the front of the panel 2 through the ventilation opening 13 and the auxiliary air outlet 21.

[0106] In Figure 6 the second state shown, the panel 2 is in the open position, avoiding the air outlet area 11, and heat exchange air supply can be carried out. At this time, the ventilator of the main heat exchange air duct can be turned on, so that the air flow in the main heat exchange air duct is sent forward through the air outlet area 11. At the same time, the auxiliary air outlet 21 on the panel 2 is still opposite to the ventilation opening 13. If the fresh air duct has air flow, for example, the ventilator of the fresh air duct is turned on, fresh air supply can be carried out, that is, fresh air can be sent out from the front of the panel 2 through the ventilation opening 13 and the auxiliary air outlet 21.

[0107] Since fresh air needs to flow from the ventilation opening 13 to the auxiliary air outlet 21 in both the first state and the second state, in this example, a frame-shaped member that can move back and forth is provided between the front frame 1 and the panel 2. The frame-shaped member surrounds the ventilation opening 13. When the frame-shaped member moves forward to the pushed-out position, the front surface of the frame-shaped member is in contact and cooperation with the rear surface of the panel 2 to achieve sealing, improving the problems of air leakage and condensation. When the frame-shaped member moves backward to the retracted position, the front surface of the frame-shaped member has a clearance fit with the rear surface of the panel 2, so that the panel 2 can move between the open position and the closed position without being hindered by friction of the frame-shaped member, thereby reducing the driving resistance of the panel 2.

[0108] In this example, in order to realize the back-and-forth movement of the frame-shaped member between the pushed-out position and the retracted position, an elastic reset member 5 and a linkage mechanism 6 are also provided. A guiding portion 411 is provided on the movable base body 41, and a through hole 412 is formed on the guiding portion 411. A limiting post 15 is provided on the front frame 1, and the limiting post 15 passes through the through hole 412. The elastic reset member 5 is a cylindrical spring, and the cylindrical spring is sleeved on the limiting post 15 and abuts between the front frame 1 and the guiding portion 411. The frame-shaped member and the front frame 1 are stably moved in the front-and-back direction through the cooperation of the limiting post 15 and the through hole 412. A pre-tightening force is generated between the frame-shaped member and the front frame 1 through the cylindrical spring, so that the frame-shaped member is in the pushed-out position away from the front frame 1 forward, so that the frame-shaped member is pressed against the panel 2 under the pre-tightening force of the cylindrical spring, forming a sealed state with the panel 2.

[0109] The linkage mechanism 6 includes a mating member 61 and a linkage member 62. The mating member 61 is a guide post 63. There are two guide posts 63, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the movable base 41. The linkage member 62 is a guide block and is arranged on the rear surface of the panel 2. There are two guide blocks, which are respectively arranged corresponding to the two guide posts 63. Each guide block includes a first section 64, a third section 65 and a second section 66 that are sequentially connected from top to bottom. The third section 65 protrudes backward from the first section 64 and the second section 66.

[0110] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, when the panel 2 is in the closed position, the first section 64 is opposite to the guide post 63 (in contact or clearance fit), and the movable base 41 is in the pushed-out position. As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, when the panel 2 is between the closed position and the open position, the third section 65 abuts against the guide post 63, and the movable base 41 is in the retracted position. As Figure 12 and FIG. 13 shown, when the panel 2 is in the open position, the second section 66 is opposite to the guide post 63 (in contact or clearance fit), and the movable base 41 is in the pushed-out position.

[0111] Specifically, when the panel 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, the guide block moves upward together with the panel 2, and the guide post 63 gradually switches from being opposite to the first section 64 to being opposite to the third section 65 that protrudes backward. Thus, the third section 65 will squeeze the guide post 63 backward, and the guide post 63 drives the frame member to move backward to the retracted position. At this time, the front surface of the frame member does not contact and seal with the rear surface of the panel 2, reducing the friction force during the movement of the panel 2.

[0112] When the panel 2 reaches the open position, the third section 65 moves above the guide post 63, and the second section 66 is opposite to the guide post 63. Since the second section 66 is located in front of the third section 65, the guide post 63 is no longer subjected to the thrust of the second section 66. Therefore, it will move forward to the pushed-out position under the action of the cylindrical spring, so that the front surface of the frame member contacts and seals with the rear surface of the panel 2.

[0113] Next, with reference to the drawings, the air treatment device 100 according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0114] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the air treatment device 100 may include: a front frame 1, a panel 2 and a panel driving assembly 3. The front frame 1 has an air outlet area 11 and a set function area 12 that are spaced apart. The panel 2 is movably arranged outside the front frame 1 to open and close the air outlet area 11 and always covers the set function area 12. A ventilation opening 13 is formed in the set function area, and an auxiliary air outlet 21 corresponding to the ventilation opening 13 is formed on the panel 2.

[0115] It should be noted that the statement "the panel 2 covers the set functional area 12" is to be understood in a broad sense, that is, as long as the panel 2 is located outside the set functional area 12. Since the panel 2 uses the area where the auxiliary air outlet 21 is provided to cover the set functional area 12, the ventilation at the ventilation opening 13 of the set functional area 12 can blow outwards through the auxiliary air outlet 21 on the panel 2.

[0116] As Figures 1-6 shown, the panel driving assembly 3 is connected to the panel 2 and drives the panel 2 to move between the open position for opening the air outlet area 11 and the closed position for closing the air outlet area 11. For example, in the closed position, the panel 2 covers at least half of the air outlet area 11. In other words, more than half of the air outlet area 11 is covered by the panel 2. In the open position, the panel 2 avoids at least half of the air outlet area 11. In other words, more than half of the air outlet area 11 is not covered by the panel 2. Optionally, in the open position, the panel 2 can completely avoid the air outlet area 11, that is, the air outlet area 11 is not covered by the panel 2 at all. In the closed position, the panel 2 can completely cover the air outlet area 11.

[0117] Specifically, the panel 2 is movably provided outside the face frame 1 and always covers the set functional area 12. The panel 2 can move relative to the face frame 1 between the open position for avoiding at least half of the air outlet area 11 and the closed position for covering at least half of the air outlet area 11. For example Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the panel 2 is in the closed position. When the panel 2 is in the closed position, the panel 2 covers the air outlet area 11 and at the same time covers the set functional area 12 (in combination with Figure 2 ). For example Figure 4 shown, at the intermediate position when the panel 2 moves from the closed position to the open position. When the panel 2 moves from the closed position to the open position, the panel 2 gradually avoids the air outlet area 11 and always covers the set functional area 12 (in combination with Figure 2 ). For example Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the panel 2 is in the open position. When the panel 2 is in the open position, the panel 2 avoids the air outlet area 11, that is, the panel 2 does not cover the air outlet area 11, and at the same time covers the set functional area 12 (in combination with Figure 2 ).

[0118] Thus, when the air outlet area 11 needs to be used, the panel 2 can be driven to the open position so that the air outlet area 11 is not covered by the panel 2. If the air outlet area 11 is not covered by other components (such as the air deflector 7 described later), air can be sent out through the air outlet area 11. When the air outlet area 11 does not need to be used, the panel 2 can be driven to the closed position so that the air outlet area 11 is covered by the panel 2, thereby protecting the air outlet area 11 from entering dirt and being damaged, etc., improving the product reliability and cleanliness. And if there are other components (such as the air deflector 7 described later) provided in the air outlet area 11, these other components can also be protected by the panel 2 in the closed position, thus avoiding damage to other components provided in the air outlet area 11, thereby improving the reliability of the product.

[0119] In addition, it should be noted that the specific type of the air handling device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited and can be a device with an air outlet function, such as an air conditioner, an air purifier, etc. When the specific type of the air handling device 100 is determined, those skilled in the art can know other components of the air handling device 100. For example, when the air handling device 100 is an air conditioner, the air handling device 100 may further include a heat exchanger, etc. When the air handling device 100 is an air purifier, the air handling device 100 may further include a purification module, etc.

[0120] In addition, in order to adjust the air supply volume, the air supply angle, etc., as Figure 6 shown, a wind guiding assembly can also be provided in the air outlet area 11, such as wind guiding louvers embedded in the air outlet area 11 and / or an air deflector 7 provided at the air outlet area 11, etc. For example, the air deflector 7 can be installed on the front frame 1. Combining Figure 1 , when the panel 2 is in the closed position, since the air deflector 7 is installed in the air outlet area 11 and the air outlet area 11 is covered by the panel 2, at least part of the air deflector 7 is also hidden inside the panel 2 and is protected by the panel 2. Combining Figure 6 , when the panel 2 is in the open position, since the air outlet area 11 is not covered by the panel 2, the air deflector 7 installed in the air outlet area 11 can also not be covered by the panel 2 and is exposed, so that it is not blocked by the panel 2 and can move, such as making a pushing movement or a rotating movement, etc., thereby realizing wind guiding adjustment.

[0121] In addition, it should be noted that the air outlet of the air handling device 100 is not limited to only including the air outlet area 11 provided on the front frame 1. For example, when the air handling device 100 is a wall-mounted air conditioner and the front frame 1 is located at the front of the air handling device 100 and the air outlet area 11 is located at the lower part of the front frame 1, a air supply area can also be provided at the front part of the bottom surface of the air handling device 100 to increase the air supply volume, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0122] The applicant has found that other auxiliary air supply functions can be added to air handling equipment in addition to the main air supply. For example, for an air conditioner, the air outlet area can be used to supply cold and hot air, and at the same time, the set function area can be used to supply air for other auxiliary functions (such as fresh air function, purification function, humidification function, etc.). For an air purifier, the air outlet area can be used to supply purified air, and at the same time, the set function area can be used to supply air for other auxiliary functions (such as heating function, fresh air function, humidification function, etc.).

[0123] Based on this, ventilation openings can be provided in the set function area of the front frame. At the same time, auxiliary air outlets are provided at the positions on the panel corresponding to the ventilation openings. At this time, in addition to the main air duct connected to the air outlet area in the air handling equipment, an auxiliary air duct connected to the ventilation openings can also be provided. The auxiliary air duct can be used to convey the air flow of auxiliary functions (such as fresh air function, purification function, humidification function, heating function, etc.), so that the air flow in the auxiliary air duct can be sent out of the panel through the ventilation openings and the auxiliary air outlets in sequence.

[0124] If the panel is not movable relative to the front frame, a sealing structure can also be provided between the panel and the front frame to ensure the airtight connection between the ventilation openings and the auxiliary air outlets, and prevent air leakage or condensation and water leakage, etc. In the embodiments of the present invention, the panel is movable relative to the front frame, and the sealing structure can no longer be connected and sealed with both the front frame and the panel, otherwise the panel cannot move. And if the sealing structure is always in contact and friction sealing with the panel, first, the panel needs to overcome a very large resistance when moving relative to the front frame, resulting in excessive energy consumption of the panel drive assembly, and a larger power drive motor needs to be selected, leading to an increase in motor cost and being more power-consuming in use; second, it makes the panel drive assembly easily damaged by force and difficult to ensure the service life; third, it is easy to generate a large amount of friction contact noise and cause wear of the panel and the sealing structure, etc., affecting the airtight effect and causing problems such as air leakage and condensation. Therefore, a solution of "a seal that can minimize the impact on the movement of the panel and better ensure the sealing effect between the set function area and the panel when the panel is movable relative to the front frame" needs to be proposed.

[0125] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the air handling device 100 may further include a sealing frame 8. The sealing frame 8 is disposed between the front frame 1 and the panel 2, surrounds the ventilation opening 13, and is sealingly engaged with the panel 2. At least a part of the sealing frame 8 is elastically deformable to reduce the resistance to the panel 2 when the panel 2 moves relative to the front frame 1. That is to say, when the panel 2 is not moving, the sealing frame 8 can be sealingly engaged with the panel 2 by its own elasticity. When the panel 2 moves, the friction between the panel 2 and the sealing frame 8 can cause elastic deformation of the sealing frame 8, thereby reducing the moving resistance caused by the sealing frame 8 to the panel 2, further reducing the energy consumption of the panel driving assembly 3, eliminating the need to select a driving motor with a larger power, reducing the motor cost, saving electricity, and the panel driving assembly 3 is not easily damaged by force, has a longer service life, is not likely to generate friction contact noise, is not likely to cause wear of the panel 2 and the sealing structure, etc., improves the adverse impact on the airtight effect, and reduces the occurrence probability of problems such as air leakage and condensation.

[0126] In some alternative embodiments, as Figures 21-23 shown, the sealing frame 8 may include: a frame body 81 and a sealing member 82. The frame body 81 surrounds the ventilation opening 13, and a gap is formed between the outer surface of the frame body 81 and the panel 2. The sealing member 82 is disposed on the outer surface of the frame body 81 and is sealingly engaged with the panel 2 by its own elasticity. Thus, the structure of the sealing frame 8 is simple and convenient for processing. For example, the sealing member 82 can be a brush or a sponge, etc., so as to have good elastic deformation ability and good sealing effect.

[0127] Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto. The sealing frame 8 can also be configured into other structures. For example, in some other embodiments, the sealing frame 8 can also be set as a sandwich structure, including a plurality of sub-frames arranged along the inner and outer directions, and elastic members such as springs are arranged between adjacent two sub-frames. A sealing member such as sponge, rubber, nylon, etc. can be arranged on the outermost sub-frame. Herein, "outer" refers to the outer side of the panel 2, that is, the side of the appearance surface of the panel 2, and "inner" refers to the inner side of the panel 2, that is, the side of the panel 2 facing the inside of the air handling device 100.

[0128] In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the connection relationship between the sealing frame 8 and the front frame 1 is not limited. For example, the sealing frame 8 can be disposed on the outer side of the front frame 1 and fixedly connected to the front frame 1, such as integrally formed, or welded, or soldered, or screwed, etc., so as to be not only convenient for connection but also ensure the sealing effect.
