[0040] The panel assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the panel assembly 100 includes: a panel 1 and a decorative member 2. The panel 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11 open to the outside, at least a portion of the decorative member 2 is embedded in the mounting groove 11, and a portion of the decorative member 2 is exposed from the opening of the mounting groove 11.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that the panel assembly 100 of the present invention is used for an air conditioner, and the panel assembly 100 is the appearance part of the air conditioner. The inner and outer sides of the panel 1 are based on the position of the panel assembly 100 on the air conditioner. The installation groove 11 set on the panel 1 is open to the outside of the air conditioner, and the decorative part 2 is set in the installation groove 11. The decorative part 2 can be directly observed from the outside of the air conditioner.

[0043] The decorative member 2 of the embodiment of the utility model is at least partially embedded in the installation groove 11, that is, the decorative member 2 partially extends into the installation groove 11, and the decorative member 2 is partially exposed from the opening of the installation groove 11, so that the decorative member 2 can be observed from the outside of the air conditioner. By embedding the decorative member 2 in the installation groove 11, the difficulty of accurately positioning the decorative member 2 when assembling it can be reduced, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency, and is conducive to improving the assembly stability of the decorative member 2 and the panel 1, and reducing the probability of the decorative member 2 falling off.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the panel 1 is provided with a first clamping portion 12 inside, and the portion of the decorative member 2 extending into the panel 1 is provided with a second clamping portion 21, and the second clamping portion 21 is clamped and matched with the first clamping portion 12, so that the decorative member 2 and the panel 1 are firmly connected, and the connection stability of the decorative member 2 and the panel 1 is improved. In addition, the assembly process of the decorative member 2 and the panel 1 of the utility model is simple, and the decorative member 2 is extended from the outside into the installation groove 11 and the first clamping portion 12 and the second clamping portion 21 are clamped and matched, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100. Compared with the adhesive connection, the curing time and the processes such as applying glue can be omitted, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency.

[0045] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the assembly process of the decorative member 2 and the panel 1 is simple, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100 and improve the matching stability and reliability of the decorative member 2 and the panel 1.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the decorative component 2 includes a decorative portion 2a and a mounting portion 2b, the mounting portion 2b is embedded in the mounting groove 11, and the second clamping portion 21 is arranged on the mounting portion 2b, the mounting portion 2b is used to connect with the panel 1, the decorative portion 2a is located outside the mounting groove 11, the decorative portion 2a is exposed from the opening of the mounting groove 11, the decorative component 2 and the panel 1 together form the appearance surface of the panel assembly 100, and the decorative portion 2a plays a decorative role.

[0047] like Figure 6 and Fig.10 As shown, the thickness of the decorative part 2a is greater than the thickness of the mounting part 2b, and the decorative part 2a stops against the panel 1. The decorative part 2a is clamped by the panel 1 outside the mounting groove 11, which prevents the decorative part 2 from moving inward, and improves the installation stability of the decorative part 2 and the panel 1. In addition, the design that the decorative part 2a stops against the panel 1 is convenient for assembly. When the decorative part 2a stops against the panel 1, it means that the mounting part 2b is located in the clamping position in the mounting groove 11, which prevents the decorative part 2 from being over-installed or not installed in place, improves the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100, and can improve the product qualification rate of the panel assembly 100. In addition, since the thickness of the decorative part 2a is greater than the thickness of the mounting part 2b, the gap at the connection between the decorative part 2 and the panel 1 is smaller, and the decorative part 2a can cover the gap between the mounting part 2b and the panel 1 from the outside, thereby reducing the occurrence of problems such as dust accumulation and water ingress in the gap.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second clamping portion 21 is a buckle 211 provided on the mounting portion 2b. Fig.10As shown, the buckle 211 abuts against the side of the first clamping portion 12 away from the decorative portion 2a to prevent the decorative member 2 from falling out of the mounting groove 11. The decorative member 2 is installed into the mounting groove 11 from the outside, so the decorative portion 2a is located outside the mounting portion 2b, and the buckle 211 abuts against the inside of the first clamping portion 12. The first clamping portion 12 can prevent the decorative member 2 from moving outward after being clamped, further improving the installation stability of the decorative member 2 and the panel 1.

[0049] In some embodiments, the distance between the buckle 211 and the decorative portion 2a is less than or equal to the distance between the side of the first clamping portion 12 away from the decorative portion 2a and the outer side of the panel 1. When the decorative component 2 is installed in the installation groove 11, the decorative portion 2a is tightly stopped on the panel 1, and the decorative portion 2a applies an inward force to the panel 1. The buckle 211 stops on the side of the first clamping portion 12 away from the decorative portion 2a. The buckle 211 applies an outward force to the first clamping portion 12, and the decorative portion 2a and the buckle 211 jointly clamp the panel 1, thereby achieving the snap-fitting of the decorative component 2 and the panel 1.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.10 As shown, the thickness of the mounting portion 2b gradually decreases in the direction away from the decorative portion 2a, that is, the thickness of the mounting portion 2b gradually decreases along the mounting direction, and the thickness of the end of the mounting portion 2b embedded in the mounting groove 11 is the smallest, which is convenient for the installation of the decorative part 2 and can improve the assembly efficiency of the decorative part 2 and the panel 1.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the decorative member 2 is in the shape of a long strip, and the decorative portion 2a and the mounting portion 2b both extend along the length direction of the decorative member 2, and the decorative portion 2a and the mounting portion 2b are arranged along the width direction of the decorative member 2. The lengths of the decorative portion 2a and the mounting portion 2b are consistent with the length of the entire decorative member 2, so that any point in the length direction of the decorative member 2 has the mounting portion 2b embedded in the mounting groove 11, the decorative member 2 is subjected to uniform force, and the connection stability between the decorative member 2 and the panel 1 is strong.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first clamping portion 12 includes a clamping block 121, and the side of the clamping block 121 away from the decorative portion 2a is a fourth plate surface 1211. Fig.10As shown, the buckle 211 includes a first plate surface 2111 close to the decorative portion 2a, and the distance between the first plate surface 2111 and the decorative portion 2a is slightly less than or equal to the distance between the fourth plate surface 1211 and the outer side surface of the panel 1. When the decorative member 2 is installed in the installation groove 11, the decorative portion 2a is tightly stopped on the panel 1, and the decorative portion 2a applies an inward force to the panel 1, and the first plate surface 2111 of the buckle 211 is stopped on the fourth plate surface 1211, and the buckle 211 applies an outward force to the clamping block 121, and the decorative portion 2a and the buckle 211 clamp the panel 1 together, thereby realizing the snap-fitting of the decorative member 2 and the panel 1.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, the buckle 211 also includes a third plate surface 2113 away from the decorative portion 2a, the third plate surface 2113 is connected to the side of the mounting portion 2b away from the decorative portion 2a, and the third plate surface 2113 is inclined in the direction of the mounting portion 2b away from the decorative portion 2a, so as to cooperate with the thickness of the mounting portion 2b to gradually decrease in the direction away from the decorative portion 2a, so as to facilitate the installation of the decorative member 2. The buckle 211 also includes a second plate surface 2112 connected between the first plate surface 2111 and the third plate surface 2113, the height of the first plate surface 2111 is greater than the height of the third plate surface 2113, and the second plate surface 2112 extends obliquely in the direction of the third plate surface 2113. When the decorative member 2 is installed in the installation groove 11, the thickness of the third plate surface 2113 and the second plate surface 2112 of the buckle 211 gradually decreases in the direction close to the mounting portion 2b, so as to facilitate the buckle 211 to pass through the clamping block 121 smoothly, reduce the occurrence of the buckle being blocked by the clamping block and unable to be installed smoothly, and improve the assembly efficiency. The thickness of the first plate surface 2111 is relatively large, so the first plate surface 2111 abuts against the fourth plate surface 1211 , thereby preventing the decorative element 2 from escaping from the mounting groove 11 .

[0054] In other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the first clamping portion 12 also includes a fifth plate surface 122 connected to the groove wall of the installation groove 11. When the decorative part 2 is installed in the installation groove 11, the decorative part 2a is tightly stopped on the panel 1, and the decorative part 2a applies an inward force to the panel 1. The buckle 211 stops on the fifth plate surface 122, and the buckle 211 applies an outward force to the first clamping portion 12. The decorative part 2a and the buckle 211 jointly clamp the panel 1, thereby realizing the clamping fit between the decorative part 2 and the panel 1.

[0055] In some other embodiments of the utility model, the first clamping portion 12 is a clamping hole penetrating the groove wall of the installation groove 11, and the second clamping portion 21 is an elastic buckle extending into the clamping hole to limit the relative position of the decorative member 2 and the installation groove 11. The installation groove 11 includes a bottom wall and two side walls, one end of the two side walls defines a notch, and the other ends of the two side walls are connected to the bottom wall, and the bottom wall is opposite to the notch. Optionally, the clamping hole can be opened in the side wall of the installation groove 11, or, more optionally, the clamping hole can also be opened in the bottom wall of the installation groove 11.

[0056] When the decorative member 2 is installed in the installation groove 11, the elastic buckle extends into the clamping hole and engages with the clamping hole, and because the elastic member has the characteristic of elastic deformation, the elastic buckle and the clamping hole are tightly connected, which can improve the connection stability of the first clamping portion 12 and the second clamping portion 21, thereby stabilizing the decorative member 2 on the panel 1. In addition, the elastic buckle extends into the clamping hole and engages with it, which can not only limit the movement of the decorative member 2 toward the inside and outside of the panel 1, but also limit the movement of the decorative member 2 along the length direction, further improving the installation stability of the decorative member 2.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the decorative member 2 is long and has multiple second clamping portions 21 spaced apart along the length of the decorative member 2. The multiple second clamping portions 21 correspond one-to-one to the multiple first clamping portions 12, and the decorative member 2 is evenly stressed, further improving the connection stability between the decorative member 2 and the panel 1.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, a stopper 13 is provided inside the panel 1, and the stopper 13 stops at both sides of at least one second clamping portion 21 along the length direction, or stops between two adjacent second clamping portions 21, so as to limit the position range of the decorative part 2 along the length direction. The first clamping portion 12 and the second clamping portion 21 cooperate with each other, and the stopper 13 also blocks the first clamping portion 12 from moving along the length direction of the decorative part 2. By setting the stopper 13, the movement of the decorative part 2 along the length direction can be limited, and the connection stability of the decorative part 2 can be further improved. In addition, by setting the stopper 13, it can also serve as an installation reminder. When the installation position of the decorative part 2 is not appropriate, it will be restricted by the stopper 13 and cannot be inserted into the installation groove 11, thereby reducing the occurrence of the decorative part 2 being installed incorrectly, and improving the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100.
