In the current module sealing scheme, most of them adopt the method of assembling gaskets during the assembly process, which is characterized by flexible operation and strong applicability, but the process is relatively complicated and will reduce the assembly efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the technical problem that the sealing assembly process of the existing air conditioner display assembly is relatively complicated and the assembly efficiency is reduced, the present invention provides an air conditioner display assembly and an air conditioner having the same.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] An air conditioning display assembly comprises an air conditioning shell and a display shell, which are detachably connected to each other, and the display shell comprises an integrally formed display hard shell and a flexible layer; it also comprises a connecting piece, which is used to detachably connect the display shell and the air conditioning shell, and after the display shell and the air conditioning shell are assembled, the flexible layer is located between the display hard shell and the air conditioning shell, and has an interference fit with the air conditioning shell.

[0024] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides an air conditioner display assembly.

[0027] Combination Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioning display assembly includes an air conditioning housing 1 and a display housing 2, and the air conditioning housing 1 and the display housing 2 are detachably connected.

[0028] The display housing 2 includes an integrally formed display hard shell 9 and a flexible layer 4 .

[0029] It also includes a connector for detachably connecting the display housing 2 and the air-conditioning housing 1. After the display housing 2 and the air-conditioning housing 1 are assembled, the flexible layer 4 is located between the display hard shell 9 and the air-conditioning housing 1 and has an interference fit with the air-conditioning housing 1.

[0030] The interference fit between the flexible layer 4 and the air-conditioning housing 1 here means that after the display housing 2 and the air-conditioning housing 1 are assembled, the flexible layer 4 is deformed, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0031] In the present application, the display shell 2 is configured as an integrally formed display hard shell 9 and a flexible layer 4, and the flexible layer 4 and the air-conditioning shell 1 are sealed by interference fit to simplify the assembly process and improve assembly efficiency; a connecting piece is also provided for connecting and assembling the display hard shell 9 and the air-conditioning shell 1, and at the same time, it is convenient to control the deformation amount of the flexible layer 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the area where the flexible layer 4 contacts the air conditioner housing 1 is a closed curve, so as to provide a good sealing effect. The closure in the closed curve here should ignore the local disconnection based on the wire outlet requirements in practice.

[0033] In this embodiment, a plurality of groups of flexible ribs 7 are provided on the side of the flexible layer 4 near the air conditioner housing 1, and the flexible layer 4 is interference fit with the air conditioner housing 1 through the flexible ribs 7, and the area where each group of flexible ribs 7 contacts the air conditioner housing 1 is a closed curve. The interference fit is achieved through the flexible ribs 7, which makes it easier to adjust the amount of interference fit.

[0034] Further, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the flexible ribs 7 are configured into two groups.

[0035] One end of the flexible rib 7 is connected to the flexible layer 4, and the end of the flexible rib 7 away from the flexible layer 4 is an inclined portion 8. The inclined portion 8 has a tendency to tilt outward relative to the middle of the display shell 2. After the display shell 2 and the air-conditioning shell 1 are assembled, the inclined portion 8 is deformed, making the inclined portion 8 tilt outward relative to the middle of the display shell 2 more obviously.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the inclined portion 8 has a tendency to tilt outward relative to the middle of the display housing 2 in a natural state; Figure 3 As shown, after the inclined portion 8 is assembled, it is deformed by pressure, so that the inclined portion 8 is more obviously inclined outward relative to the middle of the display housing 2. In this way, it is easier to maintain the sealing effect during assembly. Specifically, when the inclined portion 8 is in a natural state, the farthest distance between the point on the visible flexible rib 7 and the flexible layer 4 is h, and after assembly, the distance between the flexible layer 4 and the air conditioner housing 1 is t, and h>t is controlled to achieve a good sealing effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting member is a screw. After the display housing 2 and the air conditioning housing 1 are assembled, two opposite surfaces of the display housing 2 abut against the air conditioning housing 1 and the screw respectively to control the deformation amount of the flexible layer 4.

[0038] The detachable connection method includes various forms, such as buckles, screws, etc. In this embodiment, the detachable connection is achieved by screw assembly, which is beneficial to ensure the distance between the flexible layer 4 and the air conditioning housing 1. Specifically, after assembly, the opposite sides of the display housing 2 abut against the air conditioning housing 1 and the screws respectively, so as to ensure that the distance between the flexible layer 4 and the air conditioning housing 1 is t.

[0039] Furthermore, the air-conditioning shell 1 has a flat outer surface for assembling the display shell 2; a plurality of protruding studs 6 are provided on the outer surface for assembling screws; after the display shell 2 and the air-conditioning shell 1 are assembled, two opposite surfaces of the display shell 2 respectively abut against the studs 6 and the screws to control the deformation of the flexible layer 4.

[0040] The above is implemented to facilitate the processing and assembly process of each component of the product.

[0041] In this embodiment, the flexible layer 4 is distributed in the edge area of ​​the display shell 2, and a circle of limiting protrusions 5 are correspondingly set on the outer surface of the air-conditioning shell 1. After the air-conditioning shell 1 and the display shell 2 are assembled, the flexible layer 4 is distributed on the outside of the limiting protrusions 5 relative to the middle of the display shell 2.

[0042] By setting the limiting protrusion 5, during the assembly process of the air-conditioning housing 1 and the display housing 2, guidance and limiting can be provided; after assembly, the flexible layer 4 and the flexible ribs 7 thereon can be ensured to be located at appropriate positions.

[0043] In this embodiment, the display housing 2 has a plurality of assembly parts 3 for cooperating with the studs 6 for screw assembly. The assembly parts 3 are distributed around the display hard shell 9 and extend outward relative to the middle of the display housing 2 .

[0044] The above is implemented to facilitate the processing and assembly process of each component of the product.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
