The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0039] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the utility model. In order to simplify the disclosure of the utility model, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples, and the purpose is not to limit the utility model. In addition, the utility model can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples.

In addition, the utility model provides various specific examples of 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.

[0040] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0041] The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a panel bracket 1 and a panel assembly 2 .

[0042] A display module 31 is arranged on the panel bracket 1, and the panel assembly 2 is installed on the front side of the panel bracket 1, and includes a front panel 22 and a display panel 21, and the display panel 21 is located above the front panel 22 and covers the display module 31. The panel bracket 1, the front panel 22, and at least one of the display panel 21 are provided with a waterproof structure 5, and the waterproof structure 5 is located at the lower part of the display panel 21 to prevent the liquid on the front side of the display panel 21 from flowing from the bottom of the display panel 21 to the display module 31.

[0043] Therefore, the waterproof structure 5 can improve the waterproof performance between the bottom of the display panel 21 and the display module 31, thereby preventing liquid from flowing back from the bottom edge of the display panel 21 to the inner side of the display panel 21 and causing adverse effects on the display module 31, thereby improving the working reliability of the display module 31.

[0044] For example, the air conditioner 100 may be a cabinet air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner. Figure 1 As shown, the following takes the cabinet air conditioner as an example:

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a panel bracket 1 and a panel assembly 2 .

[0046] The panel assembly 2 includes a display panel 21 and a front panel 22, and the display panel 21 and the front panel 22 are arranged in the up and down direction so that the area of ​​the display panel 21 is not affected by the size of the front panel 22, so that the area of ​​the display panel 21 is larger. The display module 31 is arranged on the panel bracket 1, and the display panel 21 covers the display module 31, so that the display panel 21 can be used to protect the display module 31.

[0047] For example, the display module 31 is used to display information such as temperature or wind speed, and the portion of the display panel 21 corresponding to the display module 31 may be provided with a transparent area so that the user can observe the information of the display module 31 through the transparent area.

[0048] Furthermore, at least one of the panel bracket 1, the front panel 22, and the display panel 21 is provided with a waterproof structure 5, including the panel bracket 1 being provided with a waterproof structure 5, or the front panel 22 being provided with a waterproof structure 5, or the display panel 21 being provided with a waterproof structure 5, or any two or three of the panel bracket 1, the front panel 22, and the display panel 21 are provided with a waterproof structure 5, and the waterproof structure 5 is located at the lower part of the display panel 21 to prevent the liquid on the front side of the display panel 21 from flowing from the bottom of the display panel 21 to the display module 31.

[0049] In this way, the waterproof structure 5 can play a sealing role between the bottom of the display panel 21 and the display module 31, so that when the liquid flows to the bottom of the display panel 21, it will be blocked by the waterproof structure 5, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing to the display module 31, so as to ensure that the display module 31 can be in a dry working environment and extend the service life of the display module 31.

[0050] The waterproof structure 5 includes but is not limited to waterproof parts such as waterproof board, waterproof rubber, or absorbent cotton.

[0051] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by connecting the display panel 21 and the front panel 22 and by providing a waterproof structure 5, it is possible to improve the waterproof performance between the bottom of the display panel 21 and the display module 31, thereby preventing liquid from flowing back from the bottom edge of the display panel 21 to the inner side of the display panel 21 and causing adverse effects on the display module 31.

[0052] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 4 The panel bracket 1 is provided with a mounting seat 32, and the display module 31 is mounted on the mounting seat 32. Figure 3 As shown, the mounting seat 32 is formed into a box shape that is open toward the display panel 21. In this way, the mounting seat 32, the panel bracket 1, and the display panel 21 can jointly define a receiving cavity 6 for accommodating the display module 31, and the waterproof structure 5 is used to prevent the liquid on the front side of the display panel 21 from flowing into the receiving cavity 6 from the bottom of the display panel 21.

[0053] Therefore, by setting the mounting seat 32 in a box shape that is open toward the display panel 21, after the display module 31 is installed on the mounting seat 32, the mounting seat 32 can protect the display module 31 at the rear side of the display module 31, and the mounting seat 32, the panel bracket 1, and the display panel 21 together define a accommodating cavity 6 to install the display module 31 in the accommodating cavity 6, and then the display panel 21 is installed between the panels to seal the open mouth of the accommodating cavity 6, so that the accommodating cavity 6 is formed into a relatively closed space. In this way, it can be ensured that the display module 31 is in a relatively dry working environment, thereby improving the working reliability of the display module 31.

[0054] At the same time, the waterproof structure 5 can prevent the liquid on the front side of the display panel 21 from flowing into the accommodating cavity 6 from the bottom of the display panel 21, so as to improve the waterproof performance between the bottom of the display panel 21 and the display module 31, thereby avoiding the liquid from flowing back from the bottom edge of the display panel 21 to the inner side of the display panel 21 and causing adverse effects on the display module 31, thereby improving the working reliability of the display module 31.

[0055] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the waterproof structure 5 includes: a first water retaining portion 51 .

[0056] The first water retaining portion 51 includes a first section 511 and a second section 512, and the display panel 21 includes a panel body. The first section 511 extends backward from the lower end of the panel body (in the direction of the display panel 21 toward the display module 31), and the second section 512 extends downward from the rear end of the first section 511 (the end of the first section 511 away from the display panel 21), and the rear surface of the second section 512 abuts against the panel bracket 1.

[0057] Therefore, the first section 511 can achieve water blocking in the up and down directions, and the second section 512 can achieve water blocking in the front and back directions, and the rear surface of the second section 512 abuts against the panel bracket 1 to enhance the sealing between the second section 512 and the panel bracket 1, thereby enhancing the water blocking effect, and the setting of the first section 511 and the second section 512 makes the structure of the first water blocking part 51 simpler, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty and cost of setting up the water blocking part.

[0058] Among them, the first section 511 and the second section 512 can both be constructed as a plate-like structure to reduce the difficulty and cost of setting the first section 511 and the second section 512. Optionally, the first section 511 and the second section 512 can be connected by welding, snap-fitting, or plug-in to facilitate separate loading and unloading, or the first section 511 and the second section 512 can be constructed as an integrally formed structure to reduce the difficulty of setting.

[0059] For example, the first section 511 and the second section 512 are both constructed as plate-like structures, and the first section 511 and the second section 512 are an integral structure with the display panel 21 , so that the difficulty of setting the first section 511 and the second section 512 can be reduced.

[0060] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the panel bracket 1 includes an annular ring 11, the display module 31 is arranged corresponding to the inner ring area of ​​the annular ring 11, the front end of the lower edge of the annular ring 11 abuts against the rear surface of the second section 512, and the waterproof structure 5 also includes: a first guide portion 52.

[0061] The first guide portion 52 includes a third section 521 and a fourth section 522. The third section 521 is located below the second section 512 and extends downwardly from the rear to the front. The rear end of the third section 521 is sealed and connected to the rear end of the lower edge of the annular ring 11. The front end of the third section 521 extends forward beyond the second section 512. The fourth section 522 extends downward from the front end of the third section 521.

[0062] In this way, the third section 521 can be used to achieve sealing between the second section 512 and the annular ring 11, thereby preventing the liquid flowing to the second section 512 from flowing backward to the inner ring area of ​​the annular ring 11, thereby ensuring that the working environment of the display module 31 is dry. At the same time, the third section 521 extends downward from the back to the front, so that the height of the rear end of the third section 521 is greater than the height of the front end, so that the third section 521 can better drain to the fourth section 522, so that the liquid can flow toward the front end of the third section 521, and the fourth section 522 extends downward from the front end of the third section 521 to achieve water blocking in the front-to-back direction, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing to the inner side of the panel bracket 1.

[0063] Among them, the third section 521 and the fourth section 522 can both be constructed as a plate-like structure to reduce the difficulty and cost of setting the third section 521 and the fourth section 522. Optionally, the third section 521 and the fourth section 522 can be connected by welding, snap-fitting, or plug-in to facilitate separate loading and unloading, or the third section 521 and the fourth section 522 can be constructed as an integrally formed structure to reduce the difficulty of setting.

[0064] For example, the third section 521 and the fourth section 522 are constructed as a plate-like structure, and the third section 521 and the fourth section 522 are an integral structure with the front panel 22 , so that the difficulty of setting the third section 521 and the fourth section 522 can be reduced.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the upper portion of the front panel 22 is blocked on the front side of the first water retaining portion 51 .

[0066] In this way, the upper portion of the front panel 22 can be used to play a certain water-blocking role in the front-rear direction, thereby reducing the liquid flowing to the first water-blocking portion 51 , thereby reducing the difficulty of water-blocking of the first water-blocking portion 51 .

[0067] In other implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the waterproof structure 5 includes: a second water retaining portion 53.

[0068] The second water retaining portion 53 includes a fifth section 531 and a sixth section 532. The sixth section 532 is located below the display panel 21. The front end of the sixth section 532 is connected to the front panel 22. The rear end of the sixth section 532 extends backward beyond the display panel 21. The fifth section 531 extends upward from the rear end of the sixth section 532 to be located on the rear side of the lower part of the display panel 21.

[0069] In this way, the sixth section 532 can achieve water blocking in the up and down directions, and the fifth section 531 can achieve water blocking on the rear side of the display panel 21 and in the front and rear directions, so that water blocking can be achieved in different directions to enhance the water blocking effect. The setting of the fifth section 531 and the sixth section 532 makes the structure of the first water blocking part 51 simpler, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty and cost of setting up the water blocking part.

[0070] Among them, the fifth section 531 and the sixth section 532 can both be constructed as a plate-like structure to reduce the difficulty and cost of setting the fifth section 531 and the sixth section 532. Optionally, the fifth section 531 and the sixth section 532 can be connected by welding, snap-fitting, or plug-in to facilitate separate loading and unloading, or the fifth section 531 and the sixth section 532 can be constructed as an integrally formed structure to reduce the difficulty of setting.

[0071] For example, the fifth section 531 and the sixth section 532 are constructed as a plate-like structure, and the fifth section 531 and the sixth section 532 are an integral structure with the display panel 21 , so that the difficulty of setting the fourth water retaining part 56 can be reduced.

[0072] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the upper surface of the sixth section 532 is formed as a guide surface 5321 which is lower at the front and higher at the rear.

[0073] Therefore, the liquid on the sixth section 532 can flow from back to front, and can also flow in a direction away from the display module 31, thereby enhancing the waterproof effect of the waterproof structure 5, and at the same time, preventing the front panel 22 from shrinking and deforming.

[0074] The guide surface 5321 may be constructed as a plane, an arc, or a wavy surface that meets the above requirements, which is not limited here.

[0075] In other embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the waterproof structure 5 also includes: a third water retaining portion 54 .

[0076] The upper part of the front panel 22 constitutes a third water retaining portion 54, and is blocked on the front side of the lower part of the display panel 21. The front end of the sixth section 532 is connected to the lower end of the third water retaining portion 54, and the upper end of the third water retaining portion 54 is lower than the upper end of the fifth section 531, that is, in the front-to-back direction, the projection of the upper end of the fifth section 531 falls above the projection of the upper end of the third water retaining portion 54.

[0077] In this way, after the liquid fills the space between the lower end of the display panel 21 and the sixth section 532, the upper surface of the liquid will flow out from the third water retaining portion 54 after being flush with the upper end of the third water retaining portion 54, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing to the rear side of the fifth section 531, and further preventing the liquid from flowing back from the bottom edge of the display panel 21 to the inner side of the display panel 21 and causing adverse effects on the display module 31.

[0078] In some further implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the waterproof structure 5 includes: a second guide portion 55.

[0079] The second guide portion 55 includes a seventh section 551, which extends forward from the lower portion of the display panel 21. Thus, when the liquid flows to the seventh section 551, the liquid flows forward along the seventh section 551, that is, the liquid flows along the seventh section 551 toward the outer side of the display panel 21 (such as Figure 7 The display module 31 is located on the inner side of the display panel 21, so that the liquid flows along the seventh segment 551 in a direction away from the display module 31, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing back from the bottom edge of the display panel 21 to the inner side of the display panel 21 and causing adverse effects on the display module 31.

[0080] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the second guide portion 55 further includes: an eighth section 552

[0081] The eighth section 552 extends downward from the front end of the seventh section 551. In this way, when the liquid flows from the seventh section 551 to the eighth section 552, the liquid will flow downward along the eighth section 552, that is, the liquid flows toward the bottom of the display panel 21 along the eighth section 552, and the display module 31 is located on the inner side of the display panel 21. In this way, the liquid flows downward along the eighth section 552 to prevent the liquid from flowing back from the bottom edge of the display panel 21 to the inner side of the display panel 21 and causing adverse effects on the display module 31.

[0082] Among them, the seventh section 551 and the eighth section 552 can both be constructed as a plate-like structure to reduce the difficulty and cost of setting the seventh section 551 and the eighth section 552. Optionally, the seventh section 551 and the eighth section 552 can be connected by welding, snap-fitting, or plug-in to facilitate separate loading and unloading, or the seventh section 551 and the eighth section 552 can be constructed as an integrally formed structure to reduce the difficulty of setting.

[0083] For example, the seventh segment 551 and the eighth segment 552 are constructed as a plate-like structure, and the seventh segment 551 and the eighth segment 552 are an integral structure with the display panel 21 , so that the difficulty of setting the seventh segment 551 and the eighth segment 552 can be reduced.

[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the upper portion of the front panel 22 blocks the front side of the second air guide portion 55 .

[0085] In this way, the upper portion of the front panel 22 can block part of the liquid at the front side of the second guide portion 55 to reduce the liquid flowing toward the second guide portion 55 , thereby enhancing the waterproof effect of the waterproof structure 5 .

[0086] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the waterproof structure 5 includes: a fourth water retaining portion 56 .

[0087] The fourth water retaining portion 56 extends rearward from the upper portion of the front panel 22 and is located above the second flow guiding portion 55 .

[0088] Therefore, when the liquid flows from the upper portion of the front panel 22 to the second guide portion 55 , the fourth water retaining portion 56 can block part of the liquid flowing toward the second guide portion, thereby further enhancing the waterproof effect of the waterproof structure 5 .

[0089] Among them, the fourth water retaining part 56 and the upper part of the front panel 22 can be connected by welding, snapping, or plugging to facilitate separate loading and unloading, or the fourth water retaining part 56 and the upper part of the front panel 22 can be constructed as an integrally formed structure to reduce the difficulty of installation.

[0090] For example, the fourth water retaining portion 56 is constructed as a plate-shaped structure, and the fourth water retaining portion 56 and the upper portion of the front panel 22 are an integral structure, so that the difficulty of setting the fourth water retaining portion 56 can be reduced.

[0091] It should be noted that in any of the above-mentioned embodiments of the waterproof structure 5 , structures such as absorbent cotton can be provided to achieve the effect of absorbing water while blocking water, thereby enhancing the water blocking effect of the waterproof structure 5 .
