In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

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

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, the panel assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises a panel 1 and an electric control box 2. The panel 1 comprises a panel body 11 and a locking member 12 arranged on the inner surface of the panel body 11, the electric control box 2 is connected to the inner surface of the panel body 11, the electric control box 2 comprises an electric control board 21, a box body 22 and a snap 23, the snap 23 is arranged in the box body 22 and one end is connected to the side wall of the box body 22, and the other end is spaced from the side wall of the box body 22, the electric control board 21 is located in the box body 22 and is clamped between the snap 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, and at least part of the locking member 12 extends between the end of the snap 23 facing away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22.

[0042] It is understandable that the snap button 23 has a certain elastic deformation ability. One end of the snap button 23 is connected to the side wall of the box body 22, and the other end is spaced from the side wall of the box body 22, so that the installer can move the snap button 23 toward the side wall of the box body 22, thereby providing enough space for the placement of the electric control board 21. Therefore, during the assembly process of the panel assembly 100, the snap button 23 is moved toward the side wall of the box body 22, so that the electric control board 21 is located in the box body 22 and in front of the bottom wall of the box body 22, and then the snap button 23 is released to restore the snap button 23 to its natural state, so that the electric control board 21 is clamped between the snap button 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, thereby preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off.

[0043] After the electric control board 21 is clamped between the spring buckle 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, the electric control box 2 is connected to the inner surface of the board body 11 through the locking piece 12 provided on the inner surface of the board body 11, so that at least part of the locking piece 12 extends into between the end of the spring buckle 23 facing away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, thereby blocking the end of the spring buckle 23 facing away from the box body 22 from moving toward the side wall of the box body 22, avoiding the spring buckle 23 and the electric control board 21 from falling off due to vibration, impact or other environmental factors, ensuring the clamping effect of the spring buckle 23 on the electric control board 21, so that the electric control board 21 is firmly fixed in the box body 22, thereby further avoiding the electric control board 21 from falling off, reducing the maintenance and repair requirements caused by falling off or loosening, and improving the reliability and safety of the panel assembly 100.

[0044] Meanwhile, during the disassembly of the electric control board 21, the panel 1 only needs to be moved in a direction away from the electric control box 2 to pull out the locking member 12 from the gap between the end of the snap 23 away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, and then the snap 23 is moved in a direction toward the side wall of the box body 22 to disassemble the electric control board 21. Thus, the present application prevents the electric control board 21 from falling off without affecting the disassembly of the electric control board 21, thereby improving the reliability and assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100, and the panel assembly 100 has a simple structure, effectively reducing the cost.

[0045] Specifically, the two ends of the spring buckle 23 in the length direction are respectively a first end and a second end, the first end is connected to the side wall of the box body 22, and the second end is spaced apart from the side wall of the box body 22. The electric control board 21 is located in the box body 22 and is clamped between the spring buckle 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, and at least part of the locking member 12 extends between the second end and the side wall of the box body 22. Thus, by blocking the second end of the spring buckle 23 from moving toward the side wall of the box body 22, the clamping effect of the spring buckle 23 on the electric control board 21 is ensured, so that the electric control board 21 is firmly fixed in the box body 22, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the panel assembly 100.

[0046] Furthermore, the assembly direction of the panel 1 and the electric control box 2 is perpendicular to the elastic deformation direction of the spring buckle 23. Thus, such a setting further ensures that the locking member 12 blocks the end of the spring buckle 23 that is away from the box body 22 from moving toward the side wall of the box body 22, thereby further preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off.

[0047] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the panel 1 includes a panel body 11 and a locking member 12 arranged on the inner surface of the panel body 11, the electric control box 2 is connected to the inner surface of the panel body 11, the electric control box 2 includes an electric control board 21, a box body 22 and a spring buckle 23, the spring buckle 23 is arranged in the box body 22 and one end is connected to the side wall of the box body 22, and the other end is spaced from the side wall of the box body 22, the electric control board 21 is located in the box body 22 and is clamped between the spring buckle 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, and at least part of the locking member 12 extends into the back of the spring buckle 23. The spring buckle 23 is secured between one end of the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, thereby preventing the end of the spring buckle 23 that is away from the box body 22 from moving toward the side wall of the box body 22, and preventing the spring buckle 23 from falling off from the electric control board 21 due to vibration, impact or other environmental factors, thereby ensuring the clamping effect of the spring buckle 23 on the electric control board 21, so that the electric control board 21 is firmly fixed in the box body 22, thereby preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off, reducing the maintenance and repair requirements caused by falling off or loosening, and improving the user experience as well as the reliability and safety of the panel assembly 100.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, the locking member 12 includes a locking section 121, which is suitable for being located between the spring buckle 23 and the side wall of the box body 22, and is used to cooperate with the spring buckle 23 and the side wall of the box body 22. The spring buckle 23 is in a free state, and the gap between the end of the spring buckle 23 facing away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22 is a, and the maximum width of the locking section 121 is b, and b≥a is satisfied.

[0049] It can be understood that the maximum deformation amount of the elastic deformation of the snap 23 is a. When b=a, the locking section 121 is located between the snap 23 and the side wall of the box body 22, ensuring that the snap 23 is maintained in a free state, and preventing the end of the snap 23 away from the box body 22 from moving toward the side wall of the box body 22, ensuring that the electric control board 21 is located between the snap 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, and effectively preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off; or, when b>a, the locking section 121 is located between the snap 23 and the side wall of the box body 22, so that the locking section 121 pushes the end of the snap 23 away from the box body 22 to move toward the direction away from the side wall of the box body 22, further ensuring that the electric control board 21 is located between the snap 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, and effectively preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off. Therefore, the gap between the end of the spring buckle 23 facing away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22 is a, the maximum width of the locking section 121 is b, and b≥a is satisfied, thereby ensuring that the electric control board 21 is located between the spring buckle 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, effectively preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the electric control board 21 is located between the snap button 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, the minimum amount of engagement between the snap button 23 and the electric control board 21 is c, the snap button 23 is in a free state, the gap between the end of the snap button 23 that faces away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22 is a, the maximum width of the locking section 121 is b, and when the locking section 121 is located between the snap button 23 and the side wall of the box body 22, c≥ab is satisfied. It can be understood that when the locking section 121 is located between the snap button 23 and the side wall of the box body 22, there is a certain gap between the locking section 121 and the snap button 23, and by limiting the minimum amount of engagement and the gap between the locking section 121 and the snap button 23, the snap button 23 and the electric control board 21 are prevented from falling off.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, the locking member 12 further includes a guide section 122, one end of which is connected to the end of the locking section 121 that is away from the plate body 11, and the width of the guide section 122 gradually decreases in the direction from the locking section 121 to the guide section 122. Therefore, in the process that at least part of the locking member 12 extends into the space between the end of the snap 23 that is away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, the width of the guide section 122 gradually decreases in the direction from the locking section 121 to the guide section 122, so that the guide section 122 and the locking section 121 can be extended into the space between the end of the snap 23 that is away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly, and the guide section 122 plays a certain guiding role, further reducing the difficulty of transfer and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, the width of the locking segment 121 remains unchanged in the direction from the board body 11 to the locking segment 121. It can be understood that, since the locking segment 121 is located between the snap 23 and the side wall of the box body 22, and is used to cooperate with the snap 23 and the side wall of the box body 22, in the direction from the board body 11 to the locking segment 121, the width of the locking segment 121 remains unchanged, thereby ensuring the cooperation effect and strength of the locking segment 121 with the snap 23 and the side wall of the box body 22, thereby effectively blocking the snap 23 from moving toward the side wall of the box body 22, further preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off, and improving the reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, the locking member 12 further includes a supporting section 123, and the supporting section 123 is connected between the locking section 121 and the panel body 11. Thus, the connection between the box body 22 and the locking section 121 is achieved through the supporting section 123, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the locking member 12. Meanwhile, in the process of the locking section 121 extending into the space between the end of the snap 23 facing away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, the supporting section 123 plays a supporting and guiding role, thereby further improving the reliability of the panel assembly 100 during assembly.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Fig.12 As shown, the width of the support segment 123 gradually decreases in the direction from the board body 11 to the support segment 123. Therefore, the structural strength of the support segment 123 is effectively improved through such a setting. At the same time, in the process of the locking segment 121 extending into the space between the end of the snap 23 that faces away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, the width of the support segment 123 gradually decreases in the direction from the board body 11 to the support segment 123, thereby avoiding interference of the support segment 123 and ensuring that the locking segment 121 smoothly extends into the space between the end of the snap 23 that faces away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving the reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the spring buckle 23 includes a connecting arm 231 and a latching protrusion 232. The connecting arm 231 extends along the circumferential direction of the box body 22 and one end is connected to the side wall of the box body 22, and the other end is spaced apart from the side wall of the box body 22. The latching protrusion 232 is arranged at the end of the connecting arm 231 away from the box body 22, and is located on the side of the connecting arm 231 facing the inner side of the box body 22. The electric control board 21 is latched between the latching protrusion 232 and the bottom wall of the box body 22.

[0056] It is understandable that the spring buckle 23 is a cantilever structure by setting the connecting arm 231, so that it is convenient for the installer to move the clamping protrusion 232 toward the side wall of the box body 22, thereby providing enough space for the placement of the electric control board 21. Therefore, during the assembly process of the panel assembly 100, the clamping protrusion 232 is moved toward the side wall of the box body 22, so that the electric control board 21 is located in the box body 22 and in front of the bottom wall of the box body 22, and then the clamping protrusion 232 is released to restore the clamping protrusion 232 to its natural state, so that the electric control board 21 is clamped between the clamping protrusion 232 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, thereby preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, in the direction from the fixed end to the free end of the clamping protrusion 232, the surface of the clamping protrusion 232 away from the bottom wall of the box body 22 is inclined toward the bottom wall of the box body 22. Therefore, through such an arrangement, the clamping effect of the clamping protrusion 232 on the electric control board 21 is improved, and the electric control board 21 is further ensured to be clamped between the clamping protrusion 232 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, so as to prevent the electric control board 21 from falling off.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, in the direction from the fixed end to the free end of the clamping protrusion 232, the surface of the clamping protrusion 232 facing the bottom wall of the box body 22 is inclined toward the bottom wall away from the box body 22. Therefore, through such an arrangement, the clamping effect of the clamping protrusion 232 on the electric control board 21 is improved, and the electric control board 21 is further ensured to be clamped between the clamping protrusion 232 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, so as to prevent the electric control board 21 from falling off.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Fig.11 As shown, there are multiple spring buckles 23, and the locking members 12 are multiple corresponding to the multiple spring buckles 23. Therefore, the electric control board 21 is clamped between the multiple spring buckles 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, which further prevents the electric control board 21 from falling off, and improves the reliability of the panel assembly 100. At the same time, at least part of the multiple locking members 12 extends between the end of the corresponding spring buckle 23 that is away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22, effectively preventing the end of each spring buckle 23 that is away from the box body 22 from moving toward the side wall of the box body 22, so that the electric control board 21 is firmly fixed in the box body 22, and the electric control board 21 is further prevented from falling off.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7As shown, the box body 22 has a first side wall 221 and a second side wall 222 opposite to each other, the snap button 23 is arranged on the first side wall 221, the inner surface of the second side wall 222 is provided with a convex rib 24, the convex rib 24 is arranged spaced apart from the bottom wall of the box body 22, one end of the opposite ends of the electric control board 21 is clamped between the snap button 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, and the other end is clamped between the convex rib 24 and the bottom wall of the box body 22. Therefore, during the installation of the electric control board 21, the electric control board 21 is pre-positioned by clamping one end of the opposite ends of the electric control board 21 between the convex rib 24 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0061] Specifically, during the assembly of the panel assembly 100, the spring buckle 23 is pushed toward the direction of the first side wall 221 so that the electric control board 21 is located in front of the bottom wall of the box body 22 and is clamped between the rib 24 and the bottom wall of the box body 22. Then, the spring buckle 23 is released so that the spring buckle 23 returns to its natural state, so that the electric control board 21 is clamped between the spring buckle 23 and the bottom wall of the box body 22, thereby preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the box body 22 is connected to the board body 11 by snapping and / or fastening. Thus, the box body 22 is connected to the board body 11 by such a setting, and at the same time, the stability of the locking member 12 extending between the end of the snap 23 away from the box body 22 and the side wall of the box body 22 is ensured, so that the locking member 12 effectively blocks the end of the snap 23 away from the box body 22 from moving toward the side wall of the box body 22, further preventing the electric control board 21 from falling off, and improving the reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, the board body 11 and the locking member 12 are an integral part. Thus, the structural strength of the board body 11 and the locking member 12 is effectively improved by integrating the board body 11 and the locking member 12.
