[0029] Figures 1 to 3 The indoor unit panel assembly, indoor unit and air conditioner of the air conditioner provided by the utility model are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the indoor unit panel assembly of the air conditioner of the utility model includes a panel body 100 and a display component 200. The display component 200 is located on the front side of the panel body 100 and is connected to the panel body 100. The display component 200 has a display surface 210. The display surface 210 faces the front side of the panel body 100. The display surface 210 is used to display the operating status of the air conditioner.

[0030] During specific implementation, the display component 200 is located on the front side of the panel body 100 and is connected to the panel body 100, that is, the display component 200 is installed on the front side of the panel body 100. When inspecting the display component 200, the maintenance personnel can directly remove the display component 200 from the front side of the panel body 100, without having to first remove the entire panel assembly from the indoor unit, and then rotate the panel assembly so that the back of the panel assembly faces the maintenance personnel, and finally remove the display component 200 for inspection. Compared with the prior art, the disassembly process of the display component 200 is simplified through the above-mentioned structural setting, thereby reducing the time and effort spent by the maintenance personnel, reducing the difficulty of operation and maintenance costs, and improving the maintenance efficiency of the display component 200.

[0031] In this embodiment, the display component 200 may be screwed to the panel body 100 by means of fasteners such as screws. The panel body 100 may include a connected panel frame and an air outlet panel.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the indoor unit panel assembly of the air conditioner of the utility model may also include a maintenance protection plate 300, which is located on the side of the display component 200 away from the panel body 100, covers the display component 200, and is connected to the panel body 100, wherein the maintenance protection plate 300 is a structural member set to a transparent material or a translucent material.

[0033] During specific implementation, the maintenance protection plate 300 can prevent the user from directly contacting the front side (display surface 210) of the display component 200, thereby protecting the front side of the display component 200. In specific applications, when inspecting the display component 200, the maintenance personnel can first remove the maintenance protection plate 300 from the front side of the panel body 100, and then remove the display component 200.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transparent material may be glass, acrylic plastic or resin.

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance protection plate 300 is detachably connected to the panel body 100. For example, the maintenance protection plate 300 can be detachably connected to the panel body 100 by means of snap connection, bonding or screw connection.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance protection plate 300 is magnetically connected to the panel body 100 .

[0037] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned structural setting can improve the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the maintenance protection plate 300. When the maintenance protection plate 300 needs to be removed, the maintenance protection plate 300 can be removed by slightly pulling the maintenance protection plate 300 outwards.

[0038] In this embodiment, a first magnet is disposed on one side of the maintenance protection plate 300 , and a second magnet 110 is disposed on a side of the panel body 100 facing the maintenance protection plate 300 . The first magnet and the second magnet 110 are different.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance protection plate 300 is rotatably connected to the panel body 100 to cover or expose the display component 200. For example, the maintenance protection plate 300 can be rotatably connected to the panel body 100 along the vertical axis through a rotating component 400 such as a hinge.

[0040] In specific implementation, when inspecting the display component 200, the maintenance personnel can first pull the maintenance protection plate 300 outward from the front side of the panel body 100. As the maintenance protection plate 300 is pulled outward, the maintenance protection plate 300 can be rotated to expose the display component 200, that is, it is equivalent to opening a door. After exposing the display component 200, the maintenance personnel can disassemble the display component 200. It can be understood that since the maintenance protection plate 300 is always connected to the panel body 100 when inspecting the display component 200, the protection plate 300 can be prevented from being lost.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the panel body 100 has a accommodating cavity 101 and an opening 102 that can communicate with the accommodating cavity 101; the display component 200 is located in the accommodating cavity 101 and is connected to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 101; the maintenance protection plate 300 can be switched between a working position and an inspection position by being detachably connected, and the maintenance protection plate 300 can cover the opening 102 when it is located in the working position, and can expose the opening 102 when it is located in the inspection position.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the periphery of the maintenance protection plate 300 can be sealed and matched with the periphery of the opening 102 when the maintenance protection plate 300 is located at the working position.

[0043] During specific implementation, since the periphery of the maintenance protection plate 300 is sealed with the periphery of the opening 102 when the maintenance protection plate 300 is in the working position, liquids such as water droplets will not enter the display component 200 through the gap between the opening 102 and the maintenance protection plate 300, thereby increasing the durability of the air conditioner.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance protection plate 300 is flush with the front side of the panel body 100 in a state of being connected to the panel body 100 .

[0045] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned structural arrangement can reduce the space occupied by the maintenance protection plate 300, thereby reducing the volume of the air conditioner.

[0046] The utility model also provides an indoor unit, comprising the indoor unit panel assembly of the air conditioner according to the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0047] During specific implementation, the display component 200 is located on the front side of the panel body 100 and is connected to the panel body 100, that is, the display component 200 is installed on the front side of the panel body 100. When inspecting the display component 200, the maintenance personnel can directly remove the display component 200 from the front side of the panel body 100, without having to first remove the entire panel assembly from the indoor unit, and then rotate the panel assembly so that the back of the panel assembly faces the maintenance personnel, and finally remove the display component 200 for inspection. Compared with the prior art, the disassembly process of the display component 200 is simplified through the above-mentioned structural setting, thereby reducing the time and effort spent by the maintenance personnel, reducing the difficulty of operation and maintenance costs, and improving the maintenance efficiency of the display component 200.
