Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioner technology, specifically providing a panel assembly and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioning unit, is a device that regulates and controls parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow velocity of the air inside a building or structure. The air deflector is one of the main structural components of an air conditioner, used to adjust the direction of the airflow to meet different airflow requirements.

[0003] Air guide vanes, especially those in large air conditioners, can deform due to thermal expansion and contraction during cooling or heating. This can cause the vanes to fail to swing or return to their original position, or even become damaged, affecting normal use.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new panel assembly and air conditioner to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, namely, to solve the problem that the air guide plate of the air conditioner is deformed and cannot be used normally in the prior art.

[0006] The present invention provides a panel assembly, the panel assembly comprising: a panel structure having an air outlet formed thereon; an air guide plate disposed at the air outlet; and a connecting frame connected to the panel structure and the air guide plate respectively, the connecting frame being configured to be movable along the length direction of the air guide plate on the panel structure.

[0007] When the above technical solution is adopted, research has found that when the air guide plate is affected by thermal expansion and contraction, the expansion and contraction along the length direction is more obvious. The connecting frame connected to the air guide plate will shift with the deformation of the air guide plate. Since the connecting frame can move along the length direction of the air guide plate on the panel structure, the connecting frame can move with the expansion and contraction of the air guide plate along the length direction without damaging the connection with the panel structure, instead of fixing and constraining the air guide plate, causing the air guide plate to bend and deform, resulting in the air guide plate being unable to swing or return to its position or even being damaged. This solves the problem of the air guide plate deforming and becoming unusable, and improves the service life of the air guide plate.

[0008] In a specific embodiment of the above panel assembly, the panel structure is provided with a guide groove arranged along the length direction of the air guide plate, and the connecting frame is provided with a slider, which is disposed in the guide groove.

[0009] With the above technical solution, the slider is set in the guide groove along the length of the air guide plate and can move along the length of the air guide plate. This allows the connecting frame to move with the extension and retraction of the air guide plate along the length without damaging the connection with the panel structure. In addition, the connection between the slider and the guide groove can facilitate the quick assembly and disassembly of the connecting frame and the air guide plate.

[0010] In a specific embodiment of the above panel assembly, the air guide plate includes an air guide plate body and a first connector. The first connector is connected to the air guide plate body and is provided with a retaining ring. The connecting frame is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole, and the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​hole is provided with an annular groove. The retaining ring is rotatably connected to the groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the first connecting piece and the connecting frame are rotatably connected through the rotatable connection of the retaining ring and the retaining groove, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the air guide plate and the panel structure, so that the air guide plate can rotate relative to the panel structure during use.

[0012] In a specific embodiment of the above panel assembly, the cross-sectional shape of the air guide plate body is an arc shape that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges; and / or the air guide plate body is made by an extrusion molding process.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the strength of the air guide plate body is increased and the deformation is effectively reduced by using an arc-shaped cross-section that is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. The air guide plate body is manufactured using an extrusion molding process, which ensures that the air guide plate body has good straightness. In addition, the length of the air guide plate body can be adjusted as needed without remaking the mold, thus saving costs.

[0014] In a specific embodiment of the above panel assembly, the panel structure includes: a first keel, on which the guide groove is provided; a second keel; a first mounting bracket, one end of the first keel and one end of the second keel are both connected to the first mounting bracket; and a second mounting bracket, the other ends of the first keel and the other ends of the second keel are both connected to the second mounting bracket, wherein the first keel, the second keel, the first mounting bracket, and the second mounting bracket together form the air outlet.

[0015] With the above technical solution adopted, the panel structure is composed of a first keel, a second keel, a first mounting bracket, and a second mounting bracket, which improves the strength of the panel structure. The guide groove is set on the first keel, which reduces the deformation of the guide groove and improves the stability of the guide groove, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the slider in the guide groove. The air outlet is formed by the first keel, the second keel, the first mounting bracket, and the second mounting bracket, which avoids the air outlet from deforming and interfering with the air guide plate.

[0016] In a specific embodiment of the above panel assembly, the panel structure further includes: a third keel, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket; a fourth keel, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket; the first keel, the second keel, the third keel, and the fourth keel are arranged in sequence; the third keel, the fourth keel, the first mounting bracket, and the second mounting bracket together form the air outlet; and the second keel, the third keel, the first mounting bracket, and the second mounting bracket together form the air inlet.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a third and fourth keel are added on the basis of the first and second keels, forming two air outlets and one air inlet, which increases the applicability of the panel assembly.

[0018] In a specific embodiment of the above panel assembly, both the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket include sheet metal brackets and plastic brackets that are connected to each other.

[0019] When the above technical solution is adopted, the plastic bracket is used to reduce the weight of the panel assembly and provide an insulated outer surface, while the sheet metal bracket is used to provide strength assurance for the plastic bracket.

[0020] In a specific embodiment of the above panel assembly, the second keel is provided with a recessed platform, and the recessed platform is provided with a first mounting hole; the sheet metal bracket is provided with a second mounting hole; the bottom surface of the recessed platform is flush with the bottom surface of the sheet metal bracket.

[0021] When the above technical solution is adopted, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are provided to facilitate the installation of the panel assembly and other components. The recessed platform is flush with the bottom surface of the sheet metal bracket, providing a plane for installation, improving the fit with other components, and avoiding deformation during installation.

[0022] In the specific implementation of the above panel assembly, the first keel, the second keel, the third keel and the fourth keel are all made by extrusion molding process.

[0023] With the above technical solution, the length of each keel can be changed as needed to obtain panel components of different sizes, eliminating the need to make molds of different sizes and effectively reducing costs.

[0024] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, the air conditioner including an air conditioner body and the panel assembly, the panel assembly being mounted on the air conditioner body.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the panel assembly provided by the present invention are: since the connecting frame can move along the length direction of the air guide plate on the panel structure, the connecting frame can move with the expansion and contraction deformation of the air guide plate along the length direction without damaging the connection with the panel structure, instead of fixing and constraining the air guide plate, causing the air guide plate to bend and deform, resulting in the air guide plate being unable to swing or return to its position or even being damaged. This solves the problem of the air guide plate deforming and becoming unusable, and improves the service life of the air guide plate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0038] Some embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] Based on the background art, in the prior art, the air guide plate of an air conditioner is deformed, causing it to malfunction. This invention provides a panel assembly and an air conditioner, which aims to solve the problem of the air guide plate being deformed and unable to function properly by setting a connecting bracket that can move along the length direction of the air guide plate on the panel structure. This allows the connecting bracket to move with the expansion and contraction of the air guide plate along its length without damaging the connection with the panel structure, instead of fixing and constraining the air guide plate, which causes it to bend and deform, resulting in the air guide plate being unable to swing, return to its original position, or even be damaged. This solves the problem of the air guide plate being deformed and unable to function properly, and improves the service life of the air guide plate.

[0042] The air conditioner of the present invention includes an air conditioner body and a panel assembly, wherein the panel assembly is mounted on the air conditioner body.

[0043] See Figures 1-9 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the panel assembly of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the panel assembly of the present invention from another angle. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the panel structure of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the panel assembly of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the air guide plate of the present invention. Figure 6 for Figure 5 A partially enlarged structural diagram of part A. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the connecting frame of the present invention. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first mounting bracket of the present invention. Figure 9 This is a partial structural diagram of the present invention. The panel assembly includes a panel structure 1, an air guide plate 2, and a connecting frame 3.

[0044] The panel structure 1 includes a first keel 11, a second keel 12, a third keel 13, a fourth keel 14, a first mounting bracket 15, and a second mounting bracket 16. The panel structure 1 is composed of the first keel 11, the second keel 12, the third keel 13, the fourth keel 14, the first mounting bracket 15, and the second mounting bracket 16, which improves the strength of the panel structure 1. The two ends of the third keel 13 are connected to the first mounting bracket 15 and the second mounting bracket 16, respectively. The two ends of the fourth keel 14 are connected to the first mounting bracket 15 and the second mounting bracket 16, respectively. One end of the first keel 11 and one end of the second keel 12 are both connected to the first mounting bracket 15. The other end of the keel 11 and the other end of the second keel 12 are both connected to the second mounting bracket 16; the first keel 11, the second keel 12, the third keel 13, and the fourth keel 14 are arranged in sequence; the first keel 11, the second keel 12, the first mounting bracket 15, and the second mounting bracket 16 together form an air outlet 17; the third keel 13, the fourth keel 14, the first mounting bracket 15, and the second mounting bracket 16 together form another air outlet 17, avoiding deformation of the air outlet 17 that could interfere with the air guide plate 2; the second keel 12, the third keel 13, the first mounting bracket 15, and the second mounting bracket 16 together form an air inlet 18.

[0045] The air guide plate 2 is located at the air outlet 17. The air guide plate 2 includes an air guide plate body 21 and a first connector 22. The first connector 22 is connected to the air guide plate body 21. The cross-sectional shape of the air guide plate body 21 is an arc shape that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges, which increases the strength of the air guide plate body 21 and effectively reduces the amount of deformation. The first connector 22 is provided with a retaining ring 221.

[0046] The connecting frame 3 is connected to the panel structure 1 and the air guide plate 2 respectively. The connecting frame 3 is equipped with a slider 31, and the first keel 11 is equipped with a guide groove 111. The guide groove 111 is located on the first keel 11, reducing the deformation of the guide groove 111 and improving its stability. The guide groove 111 is set along the length direction of the air guide plate 2. The slider 31 is located within the guide groove 111 and can move within it. Through the guide groove 111 set along the length direction of the air guide plate 2, the slider 31, positioned within the guide groove 111, can move along the air guide plate... The length direction of the 2 moves, so that the connecting frame 3 can move along the length direction of the air guide plate 2 without damaging the connection with the panel structure 1; the connecting frame 3 is also provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 32, and the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 32 is provided with an annular snap groove 33. The snap ring 221 is rotatably connected in the snap groove 33. Through the rotatable connection between the snap ring 221 and the snap groove 33, the first connecting piece 22 and the connecting frame 3 are rotatably connected, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the air guide plate 2 and the panel structure 1, so that the air guide plate can rotate relative to the panel structure when in use.

[0047] When the air conditioner is cooling or heating, the air guide plate 2 is affected by thermal expansion and contraction. Research has found that the expansion and contraction deformation of the air guide plate 2 along its length is quite significant. The connecting frame 3 connected to the air guide plate 2 will shift as the air guide plate 2 deforms. Since the slider 31 on the connecting frame 3 can move along the length of the air guide plate 2 within the guide groove 111 on the panel structure 1, the connecting frame 3 can move with the expansion and contraction of the air guide plate 2 along its length without damaging the connection with the panel structure 1. Instead of fixing and constraining the air guide plate 2, which would cause the air guide plate 2 to bend and deform, resulting in the air guide plate 2 being unable to swing or return to its position or even being damaged, this solves the problem of the air guide plate 2 deforming and becoming unusable, and improves the service life of the air guide plate 2.

[0048] Furthermore, both the first mounting bracket 15 and the second mounting bracket 16 include interconnected sheet metal brackets 151 and plastic brackets 152. The plastic bracket 152 is used to reduce the weight of the panel assembly and provide an insulated outer surface. The sheet metal bracket 151 is used to provide strength protection for the plastic bracket 152. The connection between the plastic bracket 152 and the sheet metal bracket 151 can be achieved by bolt connection or by adhesive bonding. The plastic bracket 152 is provided with positioning blocks 155, and each keel has positioning holes 19 at both ends. The positioning blocks 155 are located in the positioning holes 19 to realize the positioning between the plastic bracket 152 and each keel. The sheet metal bracket 151 is provided with a third mounting hole, and each keel has threaded holes at both ends. Screws pass through the third mounting hole and are threaded into the threaded holes to realize the connection and fixation between the sheet metal bracket 151 and each keel, thereby realizing the connection and fixation between the first mounting bracket 15 and the second mounting bracket 16 and each keel.

[0049] The second keel 12 is provided with a recessed platform 121, which is located on one side of the air inlet 18. The recessed platform 121 has notches 123 at both ends to avoid interference with the sheet metal bracket 151, ensuring that the bottom surface of the recessed platform 121 is flush with the bottom surface of the sheet metal bracket 151. When the panel assembly is installed onto the air conditioner body, the flush bottom surface of the recessed platform 121 with the sheet metal bracket 151 provides a flat surface for installation, improving the fit with the mounting surface of the air conditioner body and preventing deformation during installation. The recessed platform 121 has a first mounting hole 122, and the sheet metal bracket 151 has a second mounting hole 154, facilitating the installation of the panel assembly with other components. It should be noted that the bottom surfaces of the recessed platform 121 and the sheet metal bracket 151 refer to the mounting surfaces when the panel assembly is installed onto the air conditioner body. In addition, a sunken platform 121 is also provided on the third keel 13, and the sunken platform 121 on the third keel 13 has the same structure as the sunken platform 121 on the second keel 12.

[0050] The air guide plate 2 also includes a second connector 23, which is connected to the air guide plate body 21 and is also connected to the motor of the air conditioner. The motor drives the air guide plate 2 to rotate through the second connector 23. Optionally, the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are respectively fixed to the arc surface of the air guide plate body 21 by ultrasonic welding. The arc surface of the air guide plate body 21 is provided with ultrasonic welding ribs to improve the welding strength.

[0051] Perhaps, a decorative panel 4 is provided at the air inlet 18 to optimize airflow. The decorative panel 4 is equipped with hooks 41, and both the first mounting bracket 15 and the second mounting bracket 16 are equipped with hanging posts 153. The hanging posts 153 are snapped onto the hooks 41, making the installation of the decorative panel 4 simple and convenient. The hanging posts 153 can be installed on a plastic bracket 152 or on a sheet metal bracket 151.

[0052] Optionally, the first keel 11, the second keel 12, the third keel 13, and the fourth keel 14 are of equal length and arranged parallel to each other. The first keel 11 and the fourth keel 14 have the same structure, and the second keel 12 and the third keel 13 have the same structure. The first mounting bracket 15 and the second mounting bracket 16 are of equal length and have the same structure. The first mounting bracket 15 and the second mounting bracket 16 are arranged perpendicular to each keel, resulting in a rectangular panel structure 1, an air outlet 17, and an air inlet 18. Those skilled in the art can also adjust the length and structure of the first keel 11, the second keel 12, the third keel 13, the fourth keel 14, the first mounting bracket 15, and the second mounting bracket 16 as needed to obtain a rhomboid or other shaped panel structure 1, an air outlet 17, and an air inlet 18, all without deviating from the principle of the present invention and all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0053] Optionally, the air guide plate body 21 is manufactured using an extrusion molding process. The first keel 11, second keel 12, third keel 13, and fourth keel 14 are also manufactured using an extrusion molding process. This process ensures good straightness, allows for length adjustment as needed, and eliminates the need for remaking molds, thus saving costs. Alternatively, the first keel 11, second keel 12, third keel 13, and fourth keel 14 may have hollow cross-sections to reduce the weight of each keel, thereby reducing the weight of the panel structure 1. Furthermore, each keel has internal horizontal and vertical ribs to enhance its strength.

[0054] Those skilled in the art will understand that, although the above description states that the connecting frame 3 can move along the length of the air guide plate 2 on the panel structure 1, specifically by setting a guide groove 111 on the first keel 11 along the length of the air guide plate 2, and providing a slider 31 on the connecting frame 3, the slider 31 being disposed in the guide groove 111 and being able to move within the guide groove 111, this is not a limitation. The connecting frame can also be configured as two parts, namely a first part and a second part. The first part is connected to the panel structure, and the second part is connected to the air guide plate. The first part is provided with a sliding groove along the length of the air guide plate 2, and the second part is provided with a sliding body, the sliding body being disposed within the sliding groove and being able to move along the sliding groove.

[0055] Furthermore, although it is described above that there are two air outlets 17, this is not a limitation. There can be one, four, eight or any other number of air outlets 17. Accordingly, the number and structure of the keel can be adjusted according to the number of air outlets 17.

[0056] Furthermore, although the above description states that the first connector 22 is provided with a retaining ring 221 and the inner wall of the retaining hole 32 is provided with an annular groove 33, this is not limiting. The retaining ring 221 can be provided on the inner wall of the retaining hole 32, and correspondingly, the annular groove 33 is provided on the retaining ring 221, which is equivalent to the above-described embodiment. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed, and all of these adjustments fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0057] Regarding the number of first connectors 22, one or more can be provided. The specific number can be selected according to the total length of the panel assembly. Correspondingly, the number of connecting brackets 3 is the same as the number of first connectors 22. When multiple first connectors 22 are provided, one first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are respectively located at both ends of the air guide plate body 21, and the other first connectors 22 are evenly arranged along the length direction of the air guide plate body 21 between the first connectors 22 and the second connectors 23 located at both ends. Specifically, when the panel length is less than or equal to a first length threshold, one first connector 22 is provided. For each increase of the panel length by a value equal to the first length threshold, the number of first connectors 22 increases by one. For example, if the first length threshold is 1000mm, when the panel length L≤1000mm, one first connector 22 is provided; when 1000mm<L≤2000mm, two first connectors 22 are provided; when 2000mm<L≤3000mm, three first connectors 22 are provided, and so on.

[0058] Regarding the number of first mounting holes 122, one or more can be set. When the panel length is less than or equal to the second length threshold, the number of first mounting holes 122 is set to one. When the panel length increases by one value of the second length threshold, the number of first mounting holes 122 increases by one. When there are multiple first mounting holes 122, they are evenly arranged along the length direction of the air guide plate 2. The second length threshold can be equal to the first length threshold or not equal to the first length threshold.

[0059] When the air conditioner is cooling or heating, if a comfortable airflow mode or anti-direct-blow mode is required, the opening angle of the air guide plate 2 can be set so that the air blown from the air outlet 17 is directed towards the wall rather than towards the user, thereby improving user comfort. Specifically, the opening angle of the air guide plate 2 can be calculated based on the distance between the air outlet 17 and the corresponding wall, which is the wall closest to the air outlet 17. The opening angle of the air guide plate 2 is denoted as D, where D = M × (D max -D min ) / (M max -M min ), where M is the distance between the edge of the panel assembly closest to the corresponding wall and the corresponding wall, and D max D is the maximum opening angle of the air guide plate 2. min M is the minimum opening angle of the air guide plate 2. max M is the maximum distance value corresponding to the value M. min D is the minimum distance value corresponding to the value of M. max D min 、M max and M min This is pre-set data derived from simulations and experiments. M can also be the distance between the nearest edge of the air outlet 17 to the corresponding wall and the corresponding wall surface; those skilled in the art can adjust it as needed.

Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above embodiments so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments.
