[0036] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 A housing component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0037] The housing component 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a panel bracket 2 and a panel 1 installed on the outer side of the panel bracket 2 .

[0038] Among them, the panel 1 has a first protrusion 11 protruding toward the panel bracket 2, the first protrusion 11 is located at the width side edge of the panel 1 and extends along the length direction F1 of the panel 1; the panel bracket 2 has a second protrusion 21 protruding toward the panel 1, the second protrusion 21 extends along the length direction F1 of the panel 1, and in the width direction F2 of the panel 1, the second protrusion 21 blocks the side of the first protrusion 11 away from the center of the panel 1, the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 are spaced apart along the width direction F2 of the panel 1 to form a gap 23 extending along the length direction F1 of the panel 1 between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21; the width side edge of the panel 1 also has a shielding portion 12, the shielding portion 12 extends along the length direction F1 of the panel 1, and in the width direction F2 of the panel 1, the shielding portion 12 is located on the side of the first protrusion 11 away from the center of the panel 1 to shield the outside of the gap 23.

[0039] Therefore, the second protrusion 21 can be used to cover the first protrusion 11 and the gap 23 therebetween on the outer side of the panel bracket 2 in the width direction F2, so that the interior of the shell component 10 cannot be seen from the side of the panel 1. At the same time, the shielding portion 12 is provided to shield the gap 23 on the outer side of the panel 1, so that the gap 23 cannot be seen from the outside, thereby helping to improve the sealing effect of the shell component 10.

[0040] It is worth noting that the housing component 10 may be the housing component 10 of the air conditioner 100 , or the housing component 10 may be the housing component 10 of other equipment, which is not limited here.

[0041] For example Figure 1 As shown, the housing component 10 may be the housing component 10 of the air conditioner 100, and the air conditioner 100 may be a cabinet air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following description is made by taking the shell component 10 as a shell component 10 of a cabinet air conditioner as an example:

[0042] The housing component 10 includes a panel bracket 2 and a panel 1 installed on the front side of the panel bracket 2 .

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the panel 1 has a first protrusion 11 protruding toward the panel bracket 2. The first protrusion 11 is located at the width side edge of the panel 1 and extends along the length direction F1 of the panel 1. In this way, the panel 1 can be supported on the panel bracket 2 using the first protrusion 11, and the first protrusion 11 extends along the length direction F1 of the panel 1, so as to achieve uniform support of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 in the length direction F1 of the panel 1, thereby enhancing the supporting stability of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the panel bracket 2 has a second protrusion 21 protruding toward the panel 1, and the second protrusion 21 extends along the length direction F1 of the panel 1, and in the width direction F2 of the panel 1, the second protrusion 21 blocks the side of the first protrusion 11 away from the center of the panel 1 (such as Figure 3 The first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 are arranged at intervals along the width direction F2 of the panel 1 to form a gap 23 extending along the length direction F1 of the panel 1 between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21. Thus, the relative position of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 can be adjusted more easily by providing the gap 23.

[0045] In particular, in the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2, the second protrusion 21 can block the gap 23 and the first protrusion 11 on the side of the first protrusion 11 away from the center direction of the panel bracket 2, so that the gap 23 is not directly visible on the side of the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2, thereby improving the sealing effect of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2.

[0046] Among them, the width side edge of the panel 1 also has a shielding portion 12, which extends along the length direction F1 of the panel 1, and in the width direction F2 of the panel 1, the shielding portion 12 is located on the side of the first protrusion 11 away from the center of the panel 1 to shield the outside of the gap 23.

[0047] It should be noted that in the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2, the gap 23 is formed between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21. Since the panel 1 is located on the front side of the panel bracket 2 and the shielding portion 12 is located on the width side edge of the panel 1, the shielding portion 12 can shield the gap 23 on the front side of the panel bracket 2, so that the gap 23 is not directly visible on the front side of the panel 1, thereby improving the sealing effect of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2.

[0048] The shielding portion 12 may be independently provided relative to the width side edge of the panel 1 or may be integrally formed with the panel 1 , which is not limited here.

[0049] According to the shell component 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the first protrusion 11 is provided, and the second protrusion 21 is provided to cover the first protrusion 11, so that no gap is seen in the width direction F2 of the panel 1, and the shielding portion 12 is provided to shield the gap 23, so that the gap 23 is not seen from the front, which is beneficial to improving the sealing effect.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the first protrusion 11 abuts against the panel bracket 2 .

[0051] In this way, the panel 1 can be supported on the panel bracket 2 by the first protrusion 11, and the first protrusion 11 extends along the length direction F1 of the panel 1, so as to facilitate the uniform support of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 in the length direction F1 of the panel 1, thereby enhancing the supporting stability of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2, and is conducive to further improving the sealing of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 in the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2. At the same time, it is conducive to maintaining the shape of the panel 1 and reducing the risk of deformation of the panel 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the shielding portion 12 (the surface of the shielding portion 12 facing away from the panel bracket 2) and the outer surface of the panel 1 (the surface of the panel 1 facing away from the panel bracket 2) are smoothly transitioned.

[0053] As a result, the connection between the outer surface of the shielding part 12 and the outer surface of the panel 1 is made smoother, thereby avoiding the formation of steps at the connection between the outer surfaces of the two due to the setting of the shielding part 12, thereby causing dust accumulation and other problems, which is conducive to making the outer surface of the panel 1 smoother.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the panel 1 is arranged at the front side of the panel bracket 2, and the width side edges of the panel 1 extend to the width side edges of the panel bracket 2 respectively, and the panel 1 has an air outlet 13 extending along the length direction F1 of the panel 1, and as shown Figure 2 As shown, the width side edges of the panel 1 respectively have a first protrusion 11 and a shielding portion 12, and the width side edges of the panel bracket 2 respectively have a second protrusion 21, the first protrusion 11 protrudes backward, the second protrusion 21 protrudes forward, the gap 23 is open to the front side, and the shielding portion 12 blocks the front side of the gap 23.

[0055] Therefore, the second protrusion 21 provided on the right side edge of the panel bracket 2 can cover the first protrusion 11 provided on the right side edge of the panel 1 and the gap 23 therebetween on the right side in the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2, so that the gap 23 cannot be directly seen on the right side of the panel bracket 2, and the covering portion 12 covers the front side of the gap 23, so that the gap 23 is also not directly visible on the front side of the panel bracket 2, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0056] The second protrusion 21 provided on the left edge of the panel bracket 2 can cover the first protrusion 11 provided on the left edge of the panel 1 and the gap 23 therebetween on the left side in the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2, so that the gap 23 cannot be directly seen on the left side of the panel bracket 2, and the shielding portion 12 blocks the front side of the gap 23, so that the gap 23 is not directly visible on the front side of the panel bracket 2, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0057] For example, the first protrusion 11 on the right edge and the first protrusion 11 on the left edge of the panel bracket 2 can both abut against the panel bracket 2, so that the two first protrusions 11 can support the panel bracket 2 in the width direction F2 of the panel 1, thereby enhancing the supporting stability of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2, and facilitating further improving the sealing of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 in the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2. At the same time, it is beneficial to maintain the shape of the panel 1 and reduce the risk of deformation of the panel 1.

[0058] In some other embodiments, two panels 1 may be provided, with the above-mentioned shielding portion 12 and the first protruding portion 11 provided at the left edge of the left panel 1, and the above-mentioned shielding portion 12 and the first protruding portion 11 provided at the right edge of the right panel 1, which can also achieve the same technical effect as above and is not limited here.

[0059] In some embodiments, the panel bracket 2 is matched with the panel 1 through a snap-fit ​​assembly 3. In this way, the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 can be fixedly assembled by a simple snap-fit ​​method, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0060] Furthermore, if Figure 6and Figure 7 As shown, the panel bracket 2 has a recessed portion 22 recessed in a direction away from the panel 1, and the snap-in assembly 3 includes a snap-in hole 31 provided on the panel bracket 2, and a snap-in hook 32 provided on the panel 1. The snap-in hole 31 is formed on a recessed bottom wall 221 of the recessed portion 22, and the snap-in hook 32 is snap-fitted with the snap-in hole 31.

[0061] In this way, the hook 32 can be snap-fitted with the hole 31 to realize the snap-fit ​​connection between the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2, wherein the recessed portion 22 is provided and the hole 31 is formed on the recessed bottom wall 221 of the recessed portion 22, so as to improve the structural strength at the hole 31 and at the same time, improve the reliability of the snap-fit.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the hook 32 includes a hook portion 321 and a support portion 322. The hook portion 321 extends into the inner side of the recessed bottom wall 221 (the side facing away from the panel 1) through the hook hole 31, and the support portion 322 stops at the outer side of the recessed bottom wall 221 so that the recessed bottom wall 221 is clamped between the support portion 322 and the hook portion 321.

[0063] Therefore, by setting the hook portion 321 and the support portion 322, the recessed bottom wall 221 can be clamped between the support portion 322 and the hook portion 321 during snap-fitting, thereby improving the matching stability between the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 and facilitating improving the uniformity of the gap formed at the edge.

[0064] In any of the above implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 The panel bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the panel 1 via a fastener 4 , and the fastener 4 is hidden inside the panel 1 .

[0065] “Inner side” refers to the side of the panel 1 facing the panel support 2 .

[0066] Thus, the fastener 4 can be used to enhance the connection strength between the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2, and the fastener 4 is hidden on the inner side of the panel 1, so that the fastener 4 is on the outer side of the panel 1 (the side of the panel 1 facing away from the panel bracket 2, i.e. Figure 7 The front side of the panel 1 is not directly visible, and during actual assembly, a fastener 4 can be set on one side of the panel bracket 2 to fix the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 to reduce the difficulty of assembly.

[0067] For example, the fastener 4 can be constructed as a screw, and a blind hole can be provided on the side of the panel 1 facing the panel bracket 2, and the inner wall of the blind hole is provided with a thread, or the panel 1 can also be provided with an embedded nut that cooperates with the screw thread, etc., which is not limited here.

[0068] In this way, when the panel 1 is fixed to the panel bracket 2 , the fastener 4 can be passed through the panel bracket 2 from one side of the panel bracket 2 and cooperate with the blind hole thread to achieve the connection and fixation of the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2 .

[0069] For example, a plurality of fasteners 4 may be provided, and the plurality of fasteners 4 may be distributed along the length direction F1 and / or the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2, for example Figure 5 In the embodiment, three fasteners 4 may be provided, two of which are located in the upper region of the panel bracket 2 and are spaced apart along the width direction F2 of the panel bracket 2, and another fastener 4 is located in the lower region of the panel bracket 2, and in the length direction F1 of the panel bracket 2, the projection of the other fastener 4 falls between the above two fasteners 4.

[0070] In this way, the connecting line of the three fasteners 4 forms a triangle, so that during assembly, the structural stability of the triangle can be utilized and fewer fasteners 4 can be used to fix the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2. The number of fasteners 4 is relatively small, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the housing component 10 further includes a display panel 5 .

[0072] The display panel 5 is disposed on one side of the panel 1 in the length direction F1 , and the display panel 5 is mounted on the panel bracket 2 , and both ends of the panel 1 in the length direction F1 are connected to the panel bracket 2 via fasteners 4 .

[0073] “The display panel 5 is arranged on one side of the panel 1 in the length direction F1” includes the display panel 5 being arranged above or below the panel 1 in the length direction F1, so that the display panel 5 and the panel 1 are arranged in the length direction F1, so that the display panel 5 is not limited by the size of the panel 1, so that the size of the display panel 5 can be designed to be larger, which is conducive to increasing the area of ​​the display panel 5.

[0074] Both ends of the panel 1 in the length direction F1 are connected to the panel bracket 2 via fasteners 4, respectively. Thus, fewer fasteners 4 can be used to achieve the connection and fixation between the panel 1 and the panel bracket 2, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0075] Furthermore, combined with Figure 8 One end of the panel 1 in the length direction F1 blocks a portion 51 of the display panel 5 , and the fastener 4 is staggered with the portion 51 .

[0076] In this way, one end of the panel 1 in the length direction F1 can be blocked on the outside of the local part 51 of the display panel 5, thereby protecting the local part 51 of the display panel 5 and helping to improve the sealing of the connection between the two. At the same time, the setting position of the fastener 4 is staggered with the setting position of the local part 51, which can avoid interference between the local part 51 and the fastener 4, and help to reduce the difficulty of setting the fastener 4.

[0077] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the width side edge of the display panel 5 is also provided with a first protrusion 11 and a shielding portion 12, and the first protrusion 11 and the shielding portion 12 provided on the display panel 5 have the same structure and function as the first protrusion 11 and the shielding portion 12 provided on the panel 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] The utility model also provides an air conditioner 100 .

[0079] The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises the housing component 10 according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0080] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the shell component 10 can use the second protrusion 21 on the outer side of the panel bracket 2 in the width direction F2 to cover the first protrusion 11 and the gap 23 therebetween, so that the interior of the shell component 10 cannot be seen from the side. At the same time, by providing a shielding portion 12 to shield the gap 23 on the outer side of the panel 1, the gap 23 cannot be seen from the outside, thereby helping to improve the sealing effect.
