[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the utility model provides a panel assembly, including a panel 10, a return air grille 20 and a locking member 30. A return air port is formed on the panel 10, and the return air port includes an opposite side wall and a second side wall 200. The return air grille 20 has an opposite third side wall 300 and a fourth side wall 400, and the third side wall 300 is hung with the first side wall 100. A movable member is provided on the fourth side wall 400, and the movable member and the second side wall 200 can be switched between connection and separation, so that the fourth side wall 400 and the second side wall 200 can be switched between connection and separation. The locking piece 30 is slidably connected to the second side wall 200, and one end of the locking piece 30 away from the second side wall 200 is locked and connected to the fourth side wall 400. The locking piece 30 is configured to be able to slide between a first position and a second position along the height direction of the second side wall 200. When the movable piece is separated from the second side wall 200, the locking piece 30 can slide from the first position to the second position so that the fourth side wall 400 and the second side wall 200 form an opening in the offset.

[0035] It should be noted that the first side wall 100 is hung with the third side wall 300, and the first side wall 100 and the third side wall 300 are substantially movably connected. For example, the return air grille 20 is rotated within an angle with the hanging contact surface as the rotation center, so that after the movable part is separated from the second side wall 200, the return air grille 20 can be moved to separate the third side wall 300 from the first side wall 100, so that the return air grille 20 can be removed so that the return air grille 20 can be separated from the panel 10.

[0036] Among them, the locking connection in this application refers to a connection method in which two connected parts can only be separated by using professional tools, such as connecting two parts by screws, or connecting two parts by bolts and nuts.

[0037] It can be understood that the first side wall 100 is connected to the third side wall 300, and the fourth side wall 400 is actively connected and separated from the second side wall 200 using movable parts, that is, the return air grille 20 and the panel 10 are quickly disassembled and assembled through the connection and movable parts of the first side wall 100 and the third side wall 300; the second side wall 200 is also provided with a locking member 30, and the locking member 30 is configured to slide between a first position and a second position, and the locking member 30 is respectively connected to the second side wall 200 and the fourth side wall 400. 00 is locked and connected. When the movable part is separated from the second side wall 200, since the locking member 30 is locked and connected to the fourth side wall 400 and the second side wall 200 respectively, the air inlet grille cannot be removed at will; however, by adjusting the position of the locking member 30, the fourth side wall 400 can be misaligned with the second side wall 200, so that there is an opening between the panel 10 and the air inlet grille, which is convenient for professional tools to extend into and unlock the locking member 30 and the fourth side wall 400, so that the return air grille 20 can be smoothly removed from the panel 10. That is, the utility model locks and connects the fourth side wall 400 and the second side wall 200 through the locking member 30. Before the locking connection between the fourth side wall 400 and the locking member 30 is released, the return air grille 20 and the panel 10 cannot be separated, thereby ensuring the connection safety between the return air grille 20 and the panel 10; and the fourth side wall 400 is misaligned with the second side wall 200, so that there is an opening between the panel 10 and the air inlet grille, which also ensures the convenience of maintenance.

[0038] In some embodiments, the panel assembly also includes a connecting column 3004 and a first locking auxiliary component 3003, the connecting column 3004 is arranged on the second side wall 200, the locking component 30 has a waist-shaped hole 3001, the connecting column 3004 passes through the waist-shaped hole 3001, and the first locking auxiliary component 3003 is connected to the connecting column 3004 and locks the locking component 30 between the second side wall 200 and the end of the first locking auxiliary component 3003.

[0039] It should be noted that the waist-shaped hole 3001 has a certain length, and when the locking member 30 is sleeved on the connecting column 3004 through the waist-shaped hole 3001, the connecting column 3004 cooperates with the waist-shaped hole 3001 to enable the locking member 30 to move between the first position and the second position. That is, when the distal end of the waist-shaped hole 3001 contacts the connecting column 3004, the locking member 30 is located at the second position; when the proximal end of the waist-shaped hole 3001 contacts the connecting column 3004, the locking member 30 is located at the first position.

[0040] Specifically, the first locking auxiliary component 3003 locks the locking component 30 on the second side wall 200 in the following manner: the width of the end of the first locking auxiliary component 3003 is greater than the width of the waist-shaped hole 3001, so that after the first locking auxiliary component 3003 is connected to the connecting column 3004, the locking component 30 cannot pass through the end of the first locking auxiliary component 3003, and is thus restricted between the end of the first locking auxiliary component 3003 and the second side wall 200, and is locked and connected to the fourth side wall 400 through the locking component 30, thereby indirectly locking and connecting the second side wall 200 and the fourth side wall 400.

[0041] In some embodiments, the locking member 30 is a sheet-like structure, and the waist-shaped hole 3001 is disposed in the middle of the sheet-like structure. The length direction of the waist-shaped hole 3001 is the same as the length direction of the sheet-like structure.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first locking auxiliary component 3003 is a screw, and a screw hole matching the screw is provided on the connecting column 3004 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the first locking auxiliary component 3003 is a pin, the lower portion of the pin is welded to the connecting column 3004 , and the width of the end portion of the pin is greater than the width of the waist-shaped hole 3001 .

[0044] In some embodiments, a sliding groove 3006 is provided on the second side wall 200, the connecting column 3004 and the locking member 30 are arranged in the sliding groove 3006, the extension direction of the sliding groove 3006 is consistent with the height direction of the second side wall 200, and the sliding groove 3006 is used to make the length direction of the waist-shaped hole 3001 consistent with the height direction of the second side wall 200.

[0045] It can be understood that the sliding groove 3006 is arranged along the height direction of the second side wall 200, that is, the movement direction of the locking member 30 is limited by the groove wall to prevent it from deviating in other directions during the movement.

[0046] The sliding groove 3006 may be formed by a depression of the side wall surface of the second side wall 200 , or may be formed by a protrusion of a portion of the side wall surface of the second side wall 200 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the width of the sliding groove 3006 is the same as the width of the locking member 30. That is, by setting the width of the sliding groove 3006 to be the same as the width of the locking member 30, the locking member 30 cannot be offset and can only move along the height direction of the second side wall 200, thereby ensuring the stability of assembly and disassembly.

[0048] In some embodiments, the inner groove walls on both sides of the sliding groove 3006 are stepped, and the inner groove walls have a planar portion 3007 parallel to the second side wall 200 . When the locking member 30 is locked by the first locking auxiliary member 3003 , one side of the locking member 30 abuts against the planar portion 3007 .

[0049] It should be noted that the planar portion 3007 is a step-shaped step surface of the inner groove wall, which is parallel to the surface of the second side wall 200. One side of the locking piece 30 abuts against the planar portion 3007, so that the locking piece 30 is parallel to the surface of the second side wall 200. At the same time, the locking piece 30 also maintains a certain distance from the surface of the second side wall 200 to avoid contact with the second side wall 200 when the locking piece 30 slides.

[0050] In some embodiments, a support rib 3005 is further provided on the second side wall 200 , and the end surface of the support rib 3005 away from the second side wall 200 is in the same plane as the planar portion 3007 . When the locking member 30 abuts against the planar portion 3007 , the locking member 30 abuts against the support rib 3005 .

[0051] It can be understood that, by providing the support ribs 3005 to cooperate with the flat surface portion 3007 of the sliding inner groove wall, the locking member 30 is supported to prevent the locking member 30 from wearing the second side wall 200 .

[0052] In some embodiments, the movable part is a straight plug buckle 401, which is configured to be able to extend out of the fourth side wall 400 and retract to the inner side of the fourth side wall 400; a straight plug hole that cooperates with the straight plug buckle 401 is provided on the second side wall 200; when the straight plug buckle 401 extends out of the fourth side wall 400, it is plugged into the straight plug hole, and the fourth side wall 400 is connected to the second side wall 200; when the straight plug buckle 401 retracts to the inner side of the fourth side wall 400, it is separated from the straight plug hole, and the fourth side wall 400 is separated from the second side wall 200.

[0053] It can be understood that the second side wall 200 and the fourth side wall 400 are connected by the engagement of the straight plug buckle 401 and the straight plug hole; the second side wall 200 and the fourth side wall 400 are separated by the separation of the straight plug buckle 401 and the straight plug hole, thereby realizing the rapid disassembly and assembly of the return air grille 20 and the panel 10.

[0054] It should be noted that the straight plug buckle 401 can extend out of the fourth side wall 400 and retract into the inside of the fourth side wall 400 as follows: a straight plug buckle 401 slide groove is provided on the return air grille 20, one end of the straight plug buckle 401 slide groove is connected to the fourth side wall 400, and an opening for exposing the straight plug buckle 401 is provided on the fourth side wall 400, and the straight plug buckle 401 is configured to slide in the straight plug buckle 401 slide groove, extend out of the fourth side wall 400 through the opening on the fourth side wall 400 or retract to the inside of the fourth side wall 400.

[0055] In some embodiments, a hook 301 fixing portion is disposed on the first side wall 100, and a hook 301 matching therewith is disposed on the third side wall 300, and the hook 301 is rotatably connected to the hook 301 fixing portion so that the first side wall 100 and the third side wall 300 are rotatably connected.

[0056] It can be understood that the first side wall 100 is rotatably connected to the third side wall 300, which enables the return air grille 20 to rotate at the hook 301 fixing portion, so that after the fourth side wall 400 is disconnected from the second side wall 200, it can drive the locking member 30 to rotate, thereby causing the fourth side wall 400 to be offset from the second side wall 200 to form an opening.

[0057] In some embodiments, a connecting through hole is provided on the locking member 30, an auxiliary connecting member 4001 is provided on the fourth side wall 400, and the panel assembly also includes a second locking auxiliary member, which passes through the connecting through hole and is locked and connected to the auxiliary connecting member 4001 to lock and connect the fourth side wall 400 to the locking member 30.
