Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a panel and an air conditioner having the panel. Background Art

[0002] The panel is the exterior part covering the main exterior surface of the air conditioner. It can protect the internal structure of the air conditioner, prevent dust and water, and beautify the appearance of the air conditioner through various appearance shapes, colors, patterns, etc. At present, due to the influence of the material's own properties and performance, the panel is prone to arch deformation, and even worse, reverse warping and wavy deformation. This deformation makes the assembly gap between the panel and other parts larger and uneven, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

[0003] In order to ensure that the panel has sufficient bending and torsional strength, many ribs are usually designed inside the panel to enhance its stability. These ribs not only make the internal appearance messy and ugly, but also increase the weight of the panel, resulting in increased costs. Moreover, some larger reinforcing ribs with glue leakage at the bottom need to be demolded through the inclined top, which will increase the mold opening cost and increase the instability of production. In addition, the existing panel loose-leaf structure usually grows directly on the inner surface of the panel, with glue leakage at the root, weak strength, and easy to break during falling and opening and closing. The two sides of the panel usually use a loose-leaf support platform and a middle frame as the support structure. The support area is small, resulting in insufficient support strength, and it is easy to bulge and deform when stacked with feet.

[0004] Therefore, the panel's anti-deformation ability needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0043] First, see Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a panel 10, comprising a panel body 11 and a longitudinal support plate 12. The panel body 11 comprises two transverse edges 111 and a longitudinal edge 112 connecting the two transverse edges 111, wherein the longitudinal edge 112 is an arc-shaped edge. The longitudinal support plate 12 is disposed at the longitudinal edge 112 and extends along the longitudinal edge 112 to connect with the ends of the two transverse edges 111.

[0044] The panel 10 provided in the present application has an arc-shaped longitudinal edge 112 and a longitudinal support plate 12 arranged at the arc-shaped longitudinal edge 112. The longitudinal support plate 12 enables the panel 10 to have strong longitudinal bending and torsional strength, and can effectively resist deformations such as arch deformation, warping deformation and wave deformation. The longitudinal support plate 12 arranged at the arc-shaped longitudinal edge 112 can evenly distribute the force on the panel 10 to avoid local concentration of force. The panel 10 has high stability, significantly improves the supporting strength of the longitudinal support plate 12, and can effectively ensure that the assembly gap between the panel 10 and other components is uniform.

[0045] The panel 10 provided in the present application has a simple structure, is not easily deformed, and has high bending and torsional strength without the need for additional reinforcing ribs, thereby reducing the weight of the panel 10 and the corresponding production cost.

[0046] The longitudinal support plate 12 is disposed at the longitudinal edge 112 . In other words, a portion of the edge of the longitudinal support plate 12 is in contact with the longitudinal edge 112 .

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the longitudinal support plate 12 has an elliptical or circular structure.

[0048] It should be noted that the panel body 11 includes two longitudinal edges 112, and the two longitudinal edges 112 and the two transverse edges 111 are alternately connected end to end. Accordingly, the panel 10 includes two longitudinal support plates 12, and the two longitudinal support plates 12 are arranged at the two longitudinal edges 112 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0049] In some embodiments, the panel 10 further includes a reinforcing portion 13, which is disposed at the transverse edge 111 and connected to the longitudinal support plate 12. The reinforcing portion 13 at the transverse edge 111 enables the panel 10 to have a strong transverse bending and torsional strength, and the reinforcing portion 13 is connected to the longitudinal support plate 12 and can serve as a skeleton structure to further enhance the overall anti-deformation capability of the panel 10. The reinforcing portion 13 can be a transverse flange rib.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The panel 10 further includes a connecting portion 14, which is disposed on the longitudinal support plate 12 on a side away from the panel body 11 along the thickness direction of the panel 10, and is used to connect the panel 10 with other components. The connecting portion 14 is integrally formed with the longitudinal support plate 12, so that the connecting portion 14 is not easily broken during the opening and closing and falling process of the panel 10, thereby improving the stability of the panel 10.

[0051] In some embodiments, the connection portion 14 includes a rotating shaft, which can enable the panel 10 to be rotatably connected to other components, so as to facilitate the opening and closing of the panel 10.

[0052] Furthermore, the connection portion 14 includes a first connection portion 14 and a second connection portion 14 , and the first connection portion 14 and the second connection portion 14 are respectively disposed on the two longitudinal support plates 12 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the first connection portion 14 and the second connection portion 14 are disposed opposite to each other.

[0053] In some embodiments, a groove 121 is provided on the longitudinal support plate 12 along the length direction of the panel 10 on a side away from the panel body 11, and the groove 121 is used to receive the decorative structure 20. The longitudinal support plate 12 includes a base plate and a folded edge along the periphery of the base plate, and the base plate and the folded edge define the groove 121. The design of the folded edge can further enhance the structural strength of the longitudinal support plate 12.

[0054] For further information, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The decorative structure 20 has a buckle 211, and a buckle hole 1211 is opened on the longitudinal support plate 12, and the buckle 211 and the buckle hole 1211 are buckled.

[0055] In some embodiments, the decorative structure 20 includes a decorative panel 21 and a decorative strip 22.

[0061] In some embodiments, the housing further includes a middle frame 30, and the middle frame 30 and the panel 10 can be connected via a connecting portion 14 of the panel 10. The connecting portion 14 can also control the opening and closing of the panel 10 and the middle frame 30 and the opening angle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the middle frame 30 and the panel 10 enclose and define an air outlet. During the operation of the air conditioner, air that has been purified and temperature-controlled inside the air conditioner is blown out from the air outlet, and an air guide plate 40 is provided at the air outlet.

[0063] See also Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, the housing further includes a side block 50, which is located at the end side of the housing along the length direction. The side block 50 has a support member 51, and the longitudinal support plate 12 abuts against the support member 51 on the side away from the panel body 11 along the thickness direction of the panel 10. When the panel body 11 is subjected to external force such as pressing, the force can be evenly dispersed to the support member 51 through the longitudinal support plate 12. In the air conditioner 1, the support member 51 can work together with the longitudinal support plate 12 to improve the anti-deformation ability and strength of the panel 10.
