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 only for explaining the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0059] 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 may be aware of the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0060] The following refers to Figures 1 - 13 Describe the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] As Figure 1 And Figure 2 Shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a panel bracket 1, a display panel 21, and a display component 3.

[0062] As Figures 2 - 5As shown in the figure, the panel bracket 1 has an avoidance opening 11. The display panel 21 is arranged on the outer side of the panel bracket 1 and covers the avoidance opening 11. The display component 3 includes a display module 31 and a mounting base 32 for mounting the display module 31. The display module 31 is located on the inner side of the display panel 21 (the side of the display panel 21 facing the panel bracket 1) and corresponds to the avoidance opening 11. The mounting base 32 is mounted on the panel bracket 1, and the mounting base 32 has an elastic support structure 33. The elastic support structure 33 elastically supports the display module 31 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21.

[0063] Thus, the distance between the display module 31 and the display panel 21 can be reduced, thereby improving the display effect of the display module 31. At the same time, the abutment of the display module 31 and the display panel 21 can also play a role in limiting the display module 31, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the display module 31.

[0064] For example, the air conditioner 100 can be a floor-standing air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner. As Figure 1 shown, the following takes the floor-standing air conditioner as an example for illustration:

[0065] The air conditioner 100 includes a panel bracket 1, a display panel 21, and a display component 3. The display component 3 includes a display module 31 and a mounting base 32. The panel bracket 1 has an avoidance opening 11. The display module 31 corresponds to the avoidance opening 11. The display panel 21 is arranged on the outer side of the panel bracket 1 and covers the avoidance opening 11 to protect the display module 31.

[0066] For example, the display module 31 can be provided with display information such as temperature value, air outlet speed, and gear. And the part of the display panel 21 corresponding to the display module 31 is set as a light-transmitting area. In this way, the information of the display module 31 can pass through the light-transmitting area and be displayed on the display panel 21, so that the user can directly observe the operating state of the air conditioner 100 through the display panel 21.

[0067] Furthermore, the mounting base 32 is mounted on the panel bracket 1, and the mounting base 32 has an elastic support structure 33. The elastic support structure 33 elastically supports the display module 31 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21.

[0068] Among them, the elastic support structure 33 can be an elastic buckle, or a spring, or other elastic deformation structures, which are not limited here.

[0069] In this way, the mounting base 32 can use the elastic support structure 33 to squeeze the display module 31 towards the display panel 21 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21, thereby reducing the distance between the display module 31 and the display panel 21, and further improving the display effect of the display module 31. At the same time, the abutment of the display module 31 against the display panel 21 can also play a role in limiting the display module 31, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the display module 31.

[0070] The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the distance between the display module 31 and the display panel 21, thereby improving the display effect of the display module 31. At the same time, the abutment of the display module 31 against the display panel 21 can also play a role in limiting the display module 31, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the display module 31.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the mounting base 32 includes a bottom plate 321 and a surrounding plate 322. The surrounding plate 322 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 321 close to the display panel 21 to form a cavity 323 that opens towards the display panel 21 and is used to accommodate the display module 31 between the bottom plate 321 and the surrounding plate 322. The elastic support structure 33 is located in the cavity 323 and is provided on the bottom plate 321.

[0072] Thus, by providing the bottom plate 321 and the surrounding plate 322, it is convenient to define the cavity 323 by using the bottom plate 321 and the surrounding plate 322, and the display module 31 is installed in the cavity 323, which is convenient to ensure that the display module 31 is in a relatively closed environment, thereby ensuring the safety of the working environment of the display module 31.

[0073] At the same time, the bottom plate 321 can play a role in protecting the display module 31 on the side of the display module 31 facing away from the display panel 21, and the surrounding plate 322 can play a role in protecting the display module 31 on the circumferential outer side of the display module 31.

[0074] Furthermore, as Figure 3 shown, the elastic support structure 33 is located in the cavity 323, so that the elastic support structure 33 can make full use of the space in the cavity 323, improve the space utilization rate, and can use the mounting base 32 to play a role in protecting the elastic support structure 33.

[0075] At the same time, the elastic support structure 33 is provided on the bottom plate 321. Since the distribution directions of the bottom plate 321 and the display panel 21 are the same as the distribution directions of the display module 31 and the display panel 21, the elastic support structure 33 can elastically support the display module 31 in the distribution direction of the display panel 21 and the bottom plate 321, and the elastic support direction is the same as the distribution direction of the display panel 21 and the display module 31, thereby facilitating the improvement of the support stability.

[0076] Optionally, after the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21, the display panel 21 and / or the panel bracket 1 is / are adapted to abut against the side of the surrounding plate 322 facing away from the bottom plate 321 to block the open mouth of the cavity 323.

[0077] In this way, the display panel 21 and / or the panel bracket 1 and the mounting base 32 can form a closed cavity 323, so that the display module 31 is in a relatively closed environment, thereby ensuring the safety of the working environment of the display module 31.

[0078] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, there are multiple elastic support structures 33, at least two elastic support structures 33 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the display module 31, and at least two elastic support structures 33 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the display module 31.

[0079] Thus, at least two elastic support structures 33 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the display module 31 can elastically support the display module 31 in the length direction of the display module 31 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21. In this way, the force in the length direction of the display module 31 is balanced, thereby improving the support stability of the elastic support structure 33 in the length direction of the display module 31.

[0080] At least two elastic support structures 33 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the display module 31 can elastically support the display module 31 in the width direction of the display module 31 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21. In this way, the force in the width direction of the display module 31 is balanced, thereby improving the support stability of the elastic support structure 33 in the width direction of the display module 31.

[0081] In some embodiments, the mounting base 32 further has a limiting portion 34, and the edge of the display module 31 has a matching portion 313. The limiting portion 34 and the matching portion 313 are spaced apart and block on the side of the matching portion 313 close to the display panel 21.

[0082] Thus, during actual installation, the matching portion 313 and the limiting portion 34 can be used in cooperation to play a role of pre-positioning. After the two are installed, the matching portion 313 and the limiting portion 34 are in a clearance fit, so that there is a certain movement gap between the limiting portion 34 and the matching portion 313. In this way, the elastic support structure 33 can elastically support the display module 31 to ensure that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21.

[0083] In addition, when disassembling the display component 3, under the action of the elastic support structure 33, the limiting portion 34 can abut against the mating portion 313 to limit the display module 31 and prevent the display module 31 from detaching from the mounting base 32, which is beneficial to the overall removal of the display component 3.

[0084] Furthermore, the limiting portion 34 includes a fixed limiting buckle 341 and an elastic limiting buckle 342, and the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the display module 31.

[0085] It should be noted that there are at least two mating portions 313, and the two mating portions 313 cooperate with the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 respectively.

[0086] In this way, during actual installation, one mating portion 313 can first extend to the inside of the fixed limiting buckle 341, and then the other mating portion 313 presses the elastic limiting buckle 342 to deform the elastic limiting buckle 342 so as to facilitate the other mating portion 313 to extend to the inside of the elastic limiting buckle 342. And after the other mating portion 313 extends to the inside of the elastic limiting buckle 342, the elastic limiting buckle 342 automatically rebounds to be spaced apart from the other limiting portion 34 on the outside of the other limiting portion 34.

[0087] Therefore, by providing the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342, it is convenient to reduce the mating difficulty between the mating portion 313 and the limiting portion 34, and further reduce the installation difficulty of installing the display module 31 onto the mounting base 32. In particular, the elastic limiting buckle 342 makes the installation of the display module 31 simpler and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency.

[0088] Among them, the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the display module 31. For example, the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 are respectively arranged on opposite sides in the length direction of the display module 31, or the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 are respectively arranged on opposite sides in the width direction of the display module 31.

[0089] In this way, the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 can limit the display module 31 on opposite sides of the display module 31, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the display module 31.

[0090] Furthermore, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 are respectively arranged on opposite sides in the width direction of the display module 31, and are respectively arranged as a plurality of spaced intervals along the length direction of the display module 31.

[0091] Therefore, the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 can respectively limit the display module 31 on the opposite sides in the width direction of the display module 31, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the display module 31 in the width direction of the display module 31.

[0092] At the same time, the fixed limit buckle 341 and the elastic limit buckle 342 are respectively set to be multiple and spaced along the length direction of the display module 31. For example, there can be three fixed limit buckles 341, and the three fixed limit buckles 341 are spaced along the length direction of the display module 31. There can be two elastic limit buckles 342, and the two elastic limit buckles 342 are spaced along the length direction of the display module 31.

[0093] In this way, multiple fixed limit buckles 341 and elastic limit buckles 342 can enhance the limiting effect on the display module 31 in the length direction of the display module 31, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the display module 31 in the length direction of the display module 31 and facilitating the force balance of the display module 31 in the length direction.

[0094] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the display module 31 includes a circuit board, and the edge of the circuit board serves as a mating portion 313. The mounting seat 32 includes a base plate 321 and a surrounding plate 322. The surrounding plate 322 is arranged on a side of the base plate 321 close to the display panel 21 to form a cavity 323 between the base plate 321 and the surrounding plate 322, which is open toward the display panel 21 and is used to accommodate the display module 31. The fixed limit buckle 341 and the elastic limit buckle 342 are both arranged in the cavity 323, and the fixed limit buckle 341 is arranged on the surrounding plate 322, and the elastic limit buckle 342 is arranged on the base plate 321.

[0095] Therefore, by setting the bottom plate 321 and the surrounding plate 322, the bottom plate 321 and the surrounding plate 322 are used to define the cavity 323, and the display module 31 is installed in the cavity 323, so as to ensure that the display module 31 is in a relatively closed environment, thereby ensuring the safety of the working environment of the display module 31.

[0096] At the same time, the bottom plate 321 can protect the display module 31 on the side of the display module 31 away from the display panel 21 , and the surrounding plate 322 can protect the display module 31 on the circumferential outer side of the display module 31 .

[0097] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the fixed limit buckle 341 and the elastic limit buckle 342 are both located in the cavity 323, so that the fixed limit buckle 341 and the elastic limit buckle 342 can make full use of the space in the cavity 323 to improve space utilization, and the mounting seat 32 can be used to protect the fixed limit buckle 341 and the elastic limit buckle 342.

[0098] At the same time, the fixed limit buckle 341 is arranged on the enclosure 322, and the elastic limit buckle 342 is arranged on the bottom plate 321, so that the setting positions of the fixed limit buckle 341 and the elastic limit buckle 342 are different to avoid interference between the two, and it is helpful to reduce the difficulty of setting the fixed limit buckle 341 and the elastic limit buckle 342.

[0099] In particular, the fixed limit buckle 341 is arranged on the enclosure 322 so that the fixed limit buckle 341 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 321, that is, the space of the fixed limit buckle 341 is relatively large, thereby facilitating the mating portion 313 to extend to the inner side of the fixed limit buckle 341 (the side toward the bottom plate 321), and the elastic limit buckle 342 is arranged on the bottom plate 321 so that the limit end of the elastic limit buckle 342 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 321. In this way, the elastic deformation amplitude of the elastic limit buckle 342 is relatively large, thereby facilitating the insertion of the edge of the circuit board.

[0100] During actual assembly, one side of the edge of the circuit board first extends to the inner side of the fixed limit buckle 341 (the side facing the bottom plate 321). At this time, the fixed limit buckle 341 is blocked on the outer side of one side of the edge of the circuit board (the side away from the bottom plate 321), and then the other side of the edge of the circuit board squeezes the elastic limit buckle 342 to deform the elastic limit buckle 342. After the other side of the edge of the circuit board extends to the inner side of the elastic limit buckle 342 (the side facing the bottom plate 321), the elastic limit buckle 342 is reset to block on the outer side of the other side of the edge of the circuit board (the side away from the bottom plate 321).

[0101] In this way, the fixed limiting buckle 341 and the elastic limiting buckle 342 can be used to block the circuit board, so that the elastic supporting structure 33 elastically supports the display module 31 to ensure that the display module 31 is in contact with the display panel 21 .

[0102] Optionally, after the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21, the display panel 21 or the panel bracket 1 can abut against the enclosure 322 to block the open opening of the cavity 323, so that the display panel 21 and / or the panel bracket 1 and the mounting base 32 can form a closed cavity 323, so that the display module 31 is in a relatively closed environment, thereby ensuring the safety of the working environment of the display module 31.

[0103] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the mounting seat 32 also has a positioning portion 35 , which is positioned and matched with the display module 31 to limit the movement of the display module 31 relative to the mounting seat 32 along the length direction and the width direction F2 of the display module 31 .

[0104] Thus, by providing the positioning portion 35, the movement of the display module 31 relative to the mounting base 32 in the length direction and width direction of the display module 31 is restricted by the positioning portion 35. When the elastic support structure 33 elastically supports the display module 31 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21, after the display template 31 receives the elastic support force of the elastic support structure 33, it can only move slightly in the distribution direction of the display panel 21 and the display module 31 to achieve abutment, thereby enhancing the support stability of the display module 31.

[0105] Further, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the positioning portion 35 includes a positioning protrusion 351 extending in the direction towards the display panel 21. The display module 31 includes a circuit board, and the edge of the circuit board has a positioning hole 314 for passing through the positioning protrusion 351 to perform positioning cooperation with the positioning protrusion 351.

[0106] Thus, the positioning protrusion 351 can be passed through the positioning hole 314 to position the edge of the circuit board, thereby restricting the movement of the circuit board relative to the mounting base 32 in its length direction and width direction. Moreover, the structure of this positioning method is simpler, which is conducive to reducing the assembly difficulty and production cost.

[0107] At the same time, since the passing direction of the positioning protrusion 351 and the positioning hole 314 is the extending direction of the positioning protrusion 351, and the extending direction of the positioning protrusion 351 is the direction of the mounting base 32 towards the display panel 21, that is, the distribution direction of the display module 31 and the display panel 21.

[0108] In this way, after the positioning portion 35 and the display module 31 are positioned and cooperated, the elastic support structure 33 can still elastically support the display module 31 in the distribution direction of the display module 31 and the display panel 21 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21, that is, the setting of the positioning portion 35 does not interfere with the function of the elastic support structure 33.

[0109] Further, as Figure 3 、 Figures 6 - 8 shown, the positioning portion 35 includes a plurality of positioning ribs 352, and the plurality of positioning ribs 352 includes at least two first positioning ribs 3521 and at least two second positioning ribs 3522.

[0110] Combined with Figure 7 , the relative two sides in the length direction of the display module 31 are respectively supported by the first positioning ribs 3521. Combined with Figure 8 , the relative two sides in the width direction of the display module 31 are respectively supported by the second positioning ribs 3522.

[0111] Thus, at least two first positioning ribs 3521 can support the display module 31 respectively in the length direction of the display module 31, so that the support of the display module 31 in its length direction is more balanced.

[0112] At least two second positioning ribs 3522 can support the display module 31 respectively in the width direction of the display module 31, so that the support of the display module 31 in its width direction F2 is more balanced, thereby enhancing the positioning stability between the positioning portion 35 and the display module 31.

[0113] Further, as Figure 9 shown, the positioning rib 352 includes a first blocking portion 35201 and a second blocking portion 35202. The first blocking portion 35201 is spaced from the display module 31 and blocks on the side of the display module 31 away from the display panel 21, and the second blocking portion 35202 blocks outside the edge of the display module 31.

[0114] Thus, the first blocking portion 35201 can block the movement of the display module 31 in the distribution direction of the display module 31 and the display panel 21 toward the side away from the display panel 21. And because the first blocking portion 35201 is spaced from the display module 31, the display module 31 can have a certain movement gap in the distribution direction of the display module 31 and the display panel 21, thereby ensuring that the elastic support structure 33 can still elastically support the display module 31 in the distribution direction of the display module 31 and the display panel 21 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21.

[0115] The second blocking portion 35202 can block the movement of the display module 31 in its own length direction or width direction outside the edge of the display module 31, thereby enhancing the stability of the display module 31.

[0116] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, the display module 31 has a display area 311 and a touch area 312. The elastic support structure 33 elastically supports the display module 31 so that the display area 311 and the touch area 312 respectively abut against the display panel 21.

[0117] Thus, the display panel 21 can more clearly display the information content of the display area 311, and the display panel 21 abuts against the touch area 312, so that when the user performs a touch operation on the display panel 21, it is beneficial to improve the touch sensitivity, thereby improving the touch effect.

[0118] Optionally, a decorative groove can be designed around the display module 31 to achieve weight reduction, and the appearance process of the display module 31 can adopt film covering or spraying, etc., or the display module 31 can be integrated with button functions, which is not limited herein.

[0119] It should be noted that: The display module 31 may only have a display area 311, or may also have a display area 311 and a touch area 312 at the same time. When there is a touch area 312, thus, through the above settings, the display effect and the touch effect can be improved.

[0120] Furthermore, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 10 、 Figure 11 , the panel bracket 1 includes a support portion 12 disposed around an avoidance opening 11 (it should be noted that the "around" described herein may be, but is not limited to, around the entire circle, for example, it may also be around a semi-circle, or more than a semi-circle, etc.). The support portion 12 includes a plurality of support ribs 121 disposed around the avoidance opening 11 and spaced apart from each other. The edge of the display panel 21 has an edge portion 211 protruding in the direction of the panel bracket 1, and the edge portion 211 is supported by the support portion 12.

[0121] The support portion 12 is disposed around the avoidance opening 11, which can prevent the support portion 12 from blocking the avoidance opening 11. At the same time, the edge of the display panel 21 protrudes in the direction of the panel bracket 1 to form a convex surface, making the overall structure of the display panel 21 non-planar, so as to enhance the structural strength of the display panel 21. And the support portion 12 is supported by the edge portion 211, which can enhance the structural stability of the display panel 21 and is beneficial to improving the uniformity and stability of the support.

[0122] Among them, the support portion 12 includes a plurality of support ribs 121 disposed around the avoidance opening 11 and spaced apart from each other, so as to enhance the structural stability of the support portion 12 by using the support ribs 121, and further enhance the support effect of the support portion 12 on the edge portion 211.

[0123] Optionally, at least part of the surface of the support rib 121 is formed into a shape matching the shape of the edge portion 211 to support the edge portion 211.

[0124] Thus, by providing the edge portion 211, the deformation of the display panel 21 can be reduced, and the support ribs 121 can provide high-strength structural support. Therefore, when the support ribs 121 support the edge portion 211, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity and stability of the support.

[0125] At least part of the surface of the support rib 121 is formed into a shape matching the shape of the edge portion 211. For example, the shape of the edge portion 211 is configured to protrude from the outside to the inside of the display panel 21, and correspondingly, at least part of the surface of the support rib 121 is formed to be recessed from the outside to the inside of the panel bracket 1, or the shape of the edge portion 211 is configured to be recessed from the outside to the inside of the display panel 21, and correspondingly, at least part of the surface of the support rib 121 is formed to protrude from the outside to the inside of the panel bracket 1. It is not limited here.

[0126] For example, one side surface of the edge portion 211 facing the support portion 12 is formed as a convex surface, and the support surface of the support rib 121 is formed as a concave surface. In this way, the concave surface can better abut against the convex surface, thereby enhancing the support effect of the support rib 121 on the edge portion 211.

[0127] Of course, in some other embodiments, one side surface of the edge portion 211 facing the support portion 12 and the support surface of the support rib 121 can both be formed as flat surfaces. Or, one side surface of the edge portion 211 facing the support portion 12 can be formed into other shapes, and the support surface of the support rib 121 can also be formed into a shape adapted to one side surface of the edge portion 211 facing the support portion 12, which is not limited herein.

[0128] Thereby, the shape of the support rib 121 is matched with the shape of the convex surface, so that the support rib 121 can provide high-strength structural support. Thus, when the support rib 121 supports the edge portion 211, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity and stability of the support.

[0129] It should be noted that when the display module 31 has a touch area 312, since the display panel 21 needs to be subjected to a pressing force, setting the edge portion 211 is beneficial to further improve the reliability of the display panel 21 and avoid the problem that the display panel 21 is damaged due to being pressed.

[0130] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 shown, the display panel 21 includes an occlusion area Z1 disposed opposite to the avoidance opening 11, and a peripheral area Z2 disposed around the occlusion area Z1. The occlusion area Z1 is thinner than the peripheral area Z2.

[0131] Thereby, by setting the occlusion area Z1 to be thinner, it is convenient for the occlusion area Z1 to better display the information of the display module 31 or to more sensitively implement the touch function, and by setting the peripheral area Z2 to be thicker, the structural strength of the occlusion area Z1 can be enhanced outside the occlusion area Z1. At the same time, when the support portion 12 supports the peripheral area Z2, the support stability can be enhanced.

[0132] In some embodiments, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, the mounting base 32 is formed in a box shape that is open in the direction facing the display panel 21. One side of the mounting base 32 close to the display panel 21 has an end plate 324. The end plate 324 is disposed around the avoidance opening 11 and is shaped to match and abut against the corresponding position of the panel bracket 1.

[0133] Thus, by configuring the mounting base 32 in a box shape, it is convenient to install the display module 31 into the mounting base 32, thereby using the mounting base 32 to protect the display module 31 and using the space inside the mounting base 32 to provide a relatively enclosed working environment for the display module 31.

[0134] Meanwhile, by providing the end plate 324, it is convenient to use the end plate 324 to surround the avoidance opening 11. In this way, after the display module 31 is installed at the avoidance opening 11, the end plate 324 can protect the display module 31 on the outside of the display module 31, and the shape of the end plate 324 at the corresponding position of the panel bracket 1 is matched to abut, so as to enhance the connection stability between the end plate 324 and the panel bracket 1 and facilitate enhancing the sealing performance at the connection between the two.

[0135] Optionally, after the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21, the display panel 21 can abut against the panel bracket 1, and the panel bracket 1 can abut against the end plate 324 to block the open opening of the end plate 324. In this way, the display panel 21, the panel bracket 1 and the mounting base 32 can form a closed cavity 323, so that the display module 31 is in a relatively enclosed environment, thereby ensuring the safety of the working environment of the display module 31.

[0136] Furthermore, the end plate 324 and the panel bracket 1 are indirectly abutted through a sealing member.

[0137] Thus, the sealing performance at the connection between the two can be enhanced. Among them, the sealing member can be configured as sealing rubber, or PE sponge, etc., which is not limited here.

[0138] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 10 shown, the panel bracket 1 includes an annular ring 13 that defines the avoidance opening 11. The axial direction of the annular ring 13 is the inner and outer direction of the panel bracket 1. The outer axial end of the annular ring 13 forms a full-circle abutment with the display panel 21, and the inner axial end of the annular ring 13 abuts against the end plate 324 to form a receiving cavity 6 for receiving the display module 31 between the display panel 21, the annular ring 13 and the mounting base 32.

[0139] Thus, by providing the annular ring 13, it is convenient to define the avoidance opening 11 through the annular ring 13 and facilitate improving the structural strength of the panel bracket 1. The outer axial end and the inner axial end of the annular ring 13 respectively abut against the display panel 21 and the end plate 324 to increase the layout space of the display module 31, and a relatively enclosed avoidance space is defined by the annular ring 13 between the end plate 324 and the display panel 21, which is beneficial to ensuring the sealing performance of the working environment of the display module 31.

[0140] In particular, the outer axial end of the annular ring 13 is in full-circle abutment with the display panel 21, that is, the outer axial end of the annular ring 13 abuts against the display panel 21 so that the display panel 21 seals the outer axial end of the annular ring 13, thereby preventing water from flowing into the annular ring 13 at the edge of the display panel 21, and further enhancing the sealing performance of the annular ring 13.

[0141] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, the mounting base 32 is formed in a box shape that is open in the direction towards the display panel 21. The edge of the mounting base 32 has a guiding portion 36 and a plugging portion 37. The panel bracket 1 includes a supporting portion 12 disposed around the avoidance opening 11. The guiding portion 36 is in guiding cooperation with the supporting portion 12, the plugging portion 37 is in plugging and positioning with the supporting portion 12, and the mounting base 32 is fixedly connected to the supporting portion 12 by a first fastener 5.

[0142] Thus, by constructing the mounting base 32 in a box shape, it is convenient to install the display module 31 into the mounting base 32, thereby protecting the display module 31 by using the mounting base 32 and providing a relatively sealed working environment for the display module 31 by using the space inside the mounting base 32.

[0143] Optionally, after the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21, the panel bracket 1 can abut against the box shape to seal the open mouth of the box shape. In this way, the display panel 21, the panel bracket 1, and the mounting base 32 can form a closed cavity 323, so that the display module 31 is in a relatively enclosed environment, thereby ensuring the safety of the working environment of the display module 31.

[0144] At the same time, the guiding portion 36 and the plugging portion 37 are provided at the edge of the mounting base 32, which facilitates the assembly of the mounting base 32 and the panel bracket 1 through the guiding cooperation between the guiding portion 36 and the supporting portion 12, thereby facilitating the reduction of the assembly difficulty and improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, the plugging portion 37 is in plugging and positioning with the supporting portion 12 to facilitate the fixation of the mounting base 32 relative to the panel bracket 1, and the mounting base 32 is fixedly connected to the supporting portion 12 by a first fastener 5 so that the mounting base 32 can be fixedly installed on the panel bracket 1. Among them, the first fastener 5 can be constructed as a bolt or a screw, etc.

[0145] Furthermore, in combination with Figures 12 - 15 , the supporting portion 12 has guiding inclined surfaces 122 on both sides in the length direction of the mounting base 32. As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, guiding portions 36 are respectively provided on both sides of the length of the mounting base 32. The guiding portions 36 extend in the direction towards the display panel 21. The two guiding portions 36 are respectively in guiding cooperation on the outer sides of the two guiding inclined surfaces 122. The first fastener 5 and the plugging portion 37 are respectively provided on both sides of the width of the mounting base 32.

[0146] Thus, by setting the guiding portion 36 to extend in the direction towards the display panel 21, when the mounting base 32 is fixed to the panel bracket 1, the guiding portion 36 can move in the direction towards the display panel 21 to cooperate with the guiding inclined surface 122, so as to realize the guiding cooperation between the mounting base 32 and the panel bracket 1.

[0147] Return to Figure 6 , and the first fastener 5 and the insertion portion 37 are respectively arranged on both width sides of the mounting base 32, so as to respectively use the first fastener 5 and the insertion portion 37 on both width sides of the mounting base 32 to realize the fixed connection between the mounting base 32 and the panel bracket 1, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the mounting base 32 and the panel bracket 1, and the guiding portion 36, the first fastener 5 and the insertion portion 37 are respectively located at different positions of the mounting base 32, which can avoid interference between the guiding portion 36, the first fastener 5 and the insertion portion 37, and is beneficial to reducing the setting difficulty of the guiding portion 36, the first fastener 5 and the insertion portion 37. Wherein, the first fastener 5 can be constructed as a bolt or a screw, etc.

[0148] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 13 shown, the mounting base 32 is formed into a box shape that is open in the direction towards the display panel 21. One side of the mounting base 32 away from the display panel 21 has a wire buckle 38, and a wire outlet hole 328 is provided on the side wall of the mounting base 32 close to the wire buckle 38.

[0149] Thus, by constructing the mounting base 32 into a box shape, it is convenient to install the display module 31 into the mounting base 32, so as to use the mounting base 32 to protect the display module 31 and provide a relatively sealed working environment for the display module 31 by using the space inside the mounting base 32.

[0150] Optionally, after the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21, the display panel 21 can abut against the box shape to block the open mouth of the box shape. In this way, the display panel 21, the mounting base 32 and the panel bracket 1 can form a closed accommodation cavity 6, so that the display module 31 is in a relatively closed environment, thereby ensuring the safety of the working environment of the display module 31.

[0151] At the same time, by setting the wire buckle 38, it is convenient for the power connection wiring of the display module 31, and the wire buckle 38 can summarize and fix the connecting wires, so that the wiring is more neat, and a wire outlet hole 328 is provided on the side wall of the mounting base 32 close to the wire buckle 38, so as to reduce the wiring difficulty.

[0152] In any of the above embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the mounting base 32 is formed into a box shape that is open in the direction towards the display panel 21, and as Figure 13As shown, a spare box 39 is installed on the side of the mounting base 32 away from the display panel 21.

[0153] Thus, by constructing the mounting base 32 in the shape of a box, it is convenient to install the display module 31 into the mounting base 32, thereby using the mounting base 32 to protect the display module 31 and providing a relatively enclosed working environment for the display module 31 using the space inside the mounting base 32.

[0154] In some embodiments, as Figure 13 shown, a spare box 39 is installed on the side of the mounting base 32 away from the display panel 21. For example, other functional modules can be installed using the spare box 39, that is, additional functional modules can be directly fixed inside the spare box 39, which is conducive to realizing the expansion possibility of the display module 31.

[0155] In particular, the spare box 39 is located on the side of the mounting base 32 away from the display panel 21, so that the loading and unloading of the spare box 39 can be realized at the rear side of the mounting base 32. That is, the selection and installation of the spare box 39 is easier, which will not affect the assembly of the display module 31, conducive to reducing the setting difficulty of the spare box 39, that is, reducing the expansion difficulty of the display module 31, and the spare box 39 will not interfere with the display module 31.

[0156] In some embodiments, as Figure 13 shown, the opening of the spare box 39 faces the direction of the mounting base 32, and the mounting base 32 includes a sealing rib 40 provided around the opening of the spare box 39.

[0157] Thus, the mounting base 32 can be used to block the opening of the spare box 39. Therefore, when the spare box 39 is fixed to the mounting base 32, there is no need to separately provide a cover for blocking the opening of the spare box 39, so as to simplify the setting difficulty.

[0158] At the same time, the mounting base 32 and the opening of the spare box 39 are sealed through the sealing rib 40, thereby sealing the spare box 39 while reducing the setting difficulty.

[0159] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the spare box 39 is in positioning cooperation with the mounting base 32 and is fixedly connected by clamping and / or a second fastener.

[0160] For example, one of the spare box 39 and the mounting base 32 can be provided with a clamping protrusion and the other with a clamping port to achieve the clamping cooperation between the two, so as to enhance the connection stability between the spare box 39 and the mounting base 32.

[0161] The spare box 39 and / or the example spare box is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 32 by a second fastener. For example, the second fastener can be configured as a bolt or a screw, etc. That is, the spare box 39 and the mounting seat 32 are connected by a bolt. Thus, it is convenient to reduce the assembly difficulty between the spare box 39 and the mounting seat 32, and it is beneficial to improve the connection stability between the spare box 39 and the mounting seat 32.

[0162] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the length direction F1 of the panel bracket 1 is the up-and-down direction. The display panel 21 is opposite to the upper part of the panel bracket 1. The upper edge of the display panel 21 extends to the upper edge of the panel bracket 1, and the left and right edges of the display panel 21 respectively extend to the left and right edges of the panel bracket 1.

[0163] Thus, the upper edge of the display panel 21 extends to the upper edge of the panel bracket 1, so that the display panel 21 can make full use of the space in the length direction F1 of the panel bracket 1 to increase the size of the display panel 21 in the length direction F1 of the panel bracket 1.

[0164] The left and right edges of the display panel 21 respectively extend to the left and right edges of the panel bracket 1, so that the display panel 21 can make full use of the space in the left and right directions of the panel bracket 1 to increase the size of the display panel 21 in the left and right directions of the panel bracket 1, and thus it is convenient to increase the area of the display panel 21.

[0165] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 further includes a front panel 22.

[0166] The front panel 22 has an air outlet 221. The front panel 22 is located below the display panel 21. The upper end of the front panel 22 blocks the lower edge of the display panel 21. The lower edge of the front panel 22 extends to the lower edge of the panel bracket 1, and the left and right edges of the front panel 22 respectively extend to the left and right edges of the panel bracket 1.

[0167] Thus, by providing the air outlet 221, it is convenient to realize the air outlet of the air conditioner 100, and the lower edge of the front panel 22 extends to the lower edge of the panel bracket 1, so that the front panel 22 can make full use of the space in the length direction F1 of the panel bracket 1 to increase the size of the front panel 22 in the length direction F1 of the panel bracket 1.

[0168] The left and right edges of the front panel 22 respectively extend to the left and right edges of the panel bracket 1. The front panel 22 can make full use of the space in the left and right directions of the panel bracket 1 to increase the size of the front panel 22 in the left and right directions of the panel bracket 1, and thus it is convenient to increase the area of the front panel 22.

[0169] Among them, the upper end of the front panel 22 blocks the lower edge of the display panel 21, which enhances its space utilization and aesthetics. At the same time, the upper end of the front panel 22 can block the lower edge of the display panel 21 to play a certain role in sealing and waterproofing, thereby preventing water from entering at the lower edge of the display panel 21.

[0170] The following describes the air conditioner 100 of a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0171] The air conditioner 100 includes: a panel bracket 1, a panel assembly 2, and a display assembly 3.

[0172] The length direction of the panel bracket 1 is the first direction F1. The panel assembly 2 is installed on the panel bracket 1 and includes a front panel 22 and a display panel 21 arranged in sequence along the first direction F1. The size of the display panel 21 in the first direction F1 is smaller than the size L2 of the front panel 22 in the first direction.

[0173] Thus, it is beneficial to increase the area of the display panel 21, which is beneficial to enlarging or increasing the display content, or enlarging or increasing the control buttons, etc. Moreover, it can reduce the processing difficulty of the front panel 22, improve the structural strength of the front panel 22, and improve the deformation of the front panel 22.

[0174] The panel bracket 1 has an avoidance opening 11. The display panel 21 is arranged outside the panel bracket 1 and covers the avoidance opening 11. The display assembly 3 includes a display module 31 and a mounting seat 32 for mounting the display module 31. The display module 31 is located inside the display panel 21 (the side of the display panel 21 facing the panel bracket 1) and is arranged corresponding to the avoidance opening 11. The mounting seat 32 is installed on the panel bracket 1, and the mounting seat 32 has an elastic support structure 33. The elastic support structure 33 elastically supports the display module 31 so that the display module 31 abuts against the display panel 21.

[0175] Among them, the elastic support structure 33 can be an elastic buckle, or a spring, or other elastic deformation structures, which are not limited herein.

[0176] Thus, the distance between the display module 31 and the display panel 21 can be reduced, thereby improving the display effect of the display module 31. At the same time, the abutment of the display module 31 and the display panel 21 can also play a role in limiting the display module 31, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the display module 31.

[0177] The panel bracket 1 includes an avoidance opening 11 and a support portion 12 arranged around the avoidance opening 11. The display panel 21 is supported and connected to the support portion 12 and covers the avoidance opening 11. It should be noted that the "around" described herein can be, but is not limited to, around the whole circle. For example, it can also be around half a circle, or more than half a circle, etc.
