[0033] Air conditioning is an air conditioner that uses technical means to create and maintain an air environment that meets certain temperature, humidity, flow rate and other parameter requirements. The main forms of air conditioning can be divided into central air conditioning, vertical air conditioning, wall-mounted air conditioning and window air conditioning. Among them, vertical air conditioning achieves cooling through the circulation of refrigerant, and has the advantages of high power and strong wind. It mainly includes indoor units and outdoor units.

[0034] In the prior art, a display mask is provided on the outer shell of the air conditioner indoor unit to display the operating parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0035] However, in the above-mentioned installation method, it is difficult to position the display panel box and the mask body, which is inconvenient for installing the display panel box.

[0036] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a display mask and an air conditioner, the display mask comprising a mask body, a circuit board and a display panel box; the display panel box comprising a mounting plate and a positioning side panel, the limiting plate on the mask body abuts against the positioning side panel, thereby limiting the position of the positioning side panel by the limiting plate to achieve a preliminary positioning effect; then the positioning column on the mask body is plugged into and matched with the positioning hole on the mounting plate, thereby achieving precise positioning of the display panel box, so as to facilitate the subsequent fixation of the display panel box, so that the assembly of the display mask is more convenient and quick.

[0037] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] On the one hand, the present application provides a display mask, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , including a mask body 100, a circuit board 200 and a display panel box 300.

[0039] The display panel box 300 includes a mounting plate 310 and a positioning side plate 320. The positioning side plate 320 is arranged on one side of the mounting plate 310. A limiting plate 400 is arranged on the mask body 100, and the limiting plate 400 abuts against the positioning side plate 320. A plurality of positioning holes 311 are opened on the mounting plate 310, and a plurality of positioning columns 131 are arranged on the mask body 100. The positioning columns 131 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 311. The circuit board 200 is arranged on the mounting plate 310 and abuts against the positioning side plate 320.

[0040] The positioning side plate 320 is integrally formed with the mounting plate 310. Furthermore, the positioning side plate 320 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 310, and the positioning side plate 320 is vertically arranged with the mounting plate 310. During the installation process, the positioning side plate 320 is placed on the limiting plate 400, thereby realizing the preliminary positioning of the display panel box 300, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation and fixing of the display panel box 300.

[0041] At least one positioning column 131 is provided, and the positioning column 131 and the limiting plate 400 together realize accurate positioning of the display panel box 300, and the positioning is simple and convenient, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation and fixation of the display panel box 300. The specific number and setting position of the positioning column 131 are not limited, as long as the positioning of the display panel box 300 can be achieved.

[0042] Exemplarily, two positioning posts 131 are provided, and the two positioning posts 131 are symmetrically arranged at the edge of the mask body 100. Correspondingly, two positioning holes 311 of the mounting plate 310 are also provided, and the mounting holes 313 correspond to the positioning posts 131 one by one, and the positioning posts 131 are inserted into the positioning holes 311 to realize the positioning of the display panel box 300.

[0043] By adopting the above-mentioned implementation, the limiting plate 400 on the mask body 100 abuts against the positioning side plate 320, so that the position of the positioning side plate 320 is limited by the limiting plate 400, so as to achieve the effect of preliminary positioning; and then the positioning column 131 on the mask body 100 is plugged and matched with the positioning hole 311 on the mounting plate 310, so as to achieve the precise positioning of the display panel box 300, so as to facilitate the subsequent fixing of the display panel box 300, so as to make the assembly of the display mask more convenient and quick. In addition, the display panel box 300 is only composed of the mounting plate 310 and the positioning side plate 320. Compared with the traditional box-type box body, the side plate is reduced, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the display panel box 300 and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0044] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A first buckle 321 is provided on one of the positioning side plate 320 and the limiting plate 400 , and a first clamping groove 410 is provided on the other, and the first buckle 321 is clamped in the first clamping groove 410 .

[0045] The first buckle 321 is disposed at the bottom of the positioning side plate 320 near the limiting plate 400. The first slot 410 is adapted to the first buckle 321 so that the first buckle 321 can be buckled in the first slot 410 to achieve the buckling and fixing of the positioning side plate 320 and the limiting plate 400.

[0046] When the positioning side plate 320 is placed on the limiting plate 400, the first buckle 321 is engaged in the first slot 410, thereby achieving fixation between the positioning side plate 320 and the limiting plate 400, thereby improving the positioning effect between the display panel box 300 and the mask body 100, and at the same time also providing a certain fixing ability.

[0047] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib plate is integrally formed on the positioning side plate 320, and the reinforcing rib plate is located at the bottom of the positioning side plate 320 to strengthen the strength of the positioning side plate 320. The side edge of the reinforcing rib plate abuts against the limiting plate 400, thereby improving the stability of the positioning side plate 320 after installation, and also serves to limit the distance between the mounting plate 310 and the arc plate 110 in the mask body 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mask body 100 includes an arc plate 110, a connecting side plate 120 and two mounting side plates 130. The connecting side plate 120 is connected to the arc plate 110. The mounting side plates 130 are located on both sides of the connecting side plate 120 and are connected to the arc plate 110. The limiting plate 400 is arranged on the side of the arc plate 110 away from the connecting side plate 120. The positioning column 131 is arranged on the connecting side plate 120.

[0049] The arc plate 110 has the same arc as the outer arc of the side wall of the air conditioner, so that the mask body 100 is installed on the side wall of the air conditioner. The display panel is installed on the arc plate 110 to serve as the display panel of the air conditioner.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting side panel 120 and the two mounting side panels 130 are respectively fixed on the three adjacent sides of the arc plate 110, and the connecting side panel 120 is located between the two mounting side panels 130, so that a mounting cavity with a bottom opening is formed by the connecting side panel 120 and the mounting side panels 130, the display panel box 300 is installed on the mounting cavity, and the circuit board 200 is fixed in the mounting cavity, which has a protective effect and has a certain moisture-proof effect.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the mask body 100 is made of stainless steel, thereby reducing the arrangement of arc-shaped extensions on both sides of the mask body 100, reducing the volume of the mask body 100, and saving installation space.

[0052] The limiting plate 400 is located at the bottom of the arc plate 110 , away from one end connected to the side plate 120 .

[0053] For example, a third buckle 112 is further provided on one side of the arc plate 110 close to the limiting plate 400, and a third buckle 112 is engaged in a third buckle slot provided on the mounting plate 310. When the mounting plate 310 is placed, the third buckle 112 is engaged in the third buckle slot to fix the mounting plate 310, and also has a positioning effect, so as to facilitate multiple positioning of the mounting plate 310.

[0054] In some embodiments, a second buckle 312 is disposed on one of the mounting plate 310 and the connecting side plate 120 , and a second slot 121 is disposed on the other, and the second buckle 312 is snapped into the second slot 121 .

[0055] The second clip 312 is located on a side of the top side of the mounting plate 310 close to the limiting side plate. The second clip 312 corresponds to the second slot 121 one by one, so that the second clip 312 is clipped into the second slot 121 .

[0056] In the present application, the number of the second buckles 312 is not limited.

[0057] Exemplarily, two second clips 312 are provided, and correspondingly, two second clips 312 are also provided, and the two second clips 312 are clipped with the second clip slots 121 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0058] During the installation process, the first clip 321 on the positioning side plate 320 is snap-fitted with the first slot 410 to fix the bottom of the mounting plate 310; the second clip 312 on the mounting plate 310 is snap-fitted with the second slot 121, thereby fixing the upper part of the mounting plate 310 to achieve the connection stability of the mounting plate 310.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 One of the arc plate 110 and the mounting plate 310 is provided with a plurality of mounting posts 111, and the other is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 313, the mounting holes 313 corresponding to the mounting holes 313 one by one, and the mounting holes 313 are used for screws to pass through the mounting holes 313 and connect with the mounting posts 111.

[0060] The mounting post 111 is provided with a threaded hole. During the installation process, after the positioning hole 311 on the mounting plate 310 is inserted into the positioning post 131, the mounting hole 313 on the mounting plate 310 can correspond to the threaded hole on the mounting post 111, so that it is convenient to use a screw to pass through the mounting hole 313 and connect with the mounting post 111 to achieve the fixation between the mounting plate 310 and the mask body 100. After the mounting plate 310 is positioned, the connection between the mounting post 111 and the mounting plate 310 is relatively simple and convenient.

[0061] In some embodiments, a plurality of mounting angles 314 are provided on the mounting plate 310 , and the mounting angles 314 are used to be screwed to the air duct structure of the air conditioner.

[0062] Specifically, a hole is provided on the mounting angle 314. The mounting angle 314 is used to adapt to the air duct structure of the air conditioner, so that screws are passed through the holes on the mounting angle 314 to connect with the air duct structure of the air conditioner, thereby realizing the connection between the display mask and the mounting air duct of the air conditioner.

[0063] The mounting corner 314 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 310 , and the mounting corner 314 is located at a side of the mounting plate 310 away from the limiting plate 400 .

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of mounting angles 314 is not limited, as long as the connection between the mounting plate 310 and the air duct structure of the air conditioner can be achieved.

[0065] Exemplarily, two mounting angles 314 are provided, and both mounting angles 314 are connected to the air duct structure of the air conditioner by screws. To improve the stability of the connection, and the mounting point is located at the back of the mounting plate 310 to facilitate the installation work of the operator. The mounting angle 314 and the positioning side plate 320 are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the mounting plate 310. When the mounting plate 310 is installed in the air duct structure of the air conditioner, the mounting angle 314 and the positioning side plate 320 support the mounting plate 310 from both sides, thereby improving the stability of the mounting plate 310.

[0066] In some embodiments, a limiting strip 315 is disposed at an edge of the mounting plate 310 , and the limiting strip 315 abuts against the connecting side plate 120 and the mounting side plate 130 , respectively.

[0067] The limiting strips 315 are arranged on three sides of the mounting plate 310 away from the positioning side plates 320. On the one hand, the limiting strips 315 play a role in strengthening the mounting plate 310. On the other hand, the limiting strips 315 abut against the inner side walls of the connecting side plates 120 and the mounting side plates 130 on the mask body during the installation process, and also play a positioning effect. Through multiple positioning, the mounting plate 310 can be conveniently installed on the mask body.

[0068] In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib 316 is disposed on the mounting plate 310 , and two sides of the reinforcing rib 316 are respectively connected to the mounting plate 310 and the positioning side plate 320 .

[0069] Exemplarily, the reinforcing rib 316 is a right triangle, and the two right angle sides of the reinforcing rib are respectively connected to the mounting plate 310 and the positioning side plate 320, so as to strengthen the connection strength between the mounting plate 310 and the positioning side plate 320 and reduce the possibility of deformation of the positioning side plate 320.

[0070] The number of the reinforcing ribs 316 is set to two, and the two reinforcing ribs 316 are arranged in parallel. In other embodiments, different numbers of reinforcing ribs 316 can be arranged according to actual needs, which will not be described in detail here.

[0071] On the other hand, the present application provides an air conditioner, referring to Figure 5 , including an air duct structure and the above-mentioned display mask connected to the air duct structure.

[0072] Among them, the display mask in this embodiment has the same structure as the display mask provided in any of the above embodiments, and can bring the same or similar technical effects, which will not be described one by one here, and the details can be referred to the description of the above embodiments.

[0073] The present application provides an air conditioner, during the installation process, the circuit board 200 is installed on the mounting plate 310 of the display panel box 300, and the mounting plate 310 is installed on the mask body 100, and then the mask body 100 is placed in the air duct structure of the air conditioner, and the mounting plate 310 is fixed to the air duct structure by screws to achieve the installation of the display mask. The arc connection structure on both sides of the traditional display mask is reduced, the volume and manufacturing difficulty of the display mask are reduced, and the pressing of the display mask is easier.
