[0050] Figure 1 1 is a schematic front view of a front housing assembly of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the utility model, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figure 2-13 The embodiment of the utility model provides a front shell assembly of an air conditioner, and the front shell assembly includes a housing 100 , a panel 400 and a heat insulation pad 500 .

[0051] The housing 100 forms an air outlet 700, and a panel mounting portion 200 is disposed adjacent to a first side edge 810 in the width direction of the air outlet 700. The panel mounting portion 200 includes heat insulation grooves 210 disposed at intervals outside the first side edge 810 and extending along the first side edge 810.

[0052] The panel 400 is detachably fixedly connected to the front of the panel mounting portion 200, and the panel 400 covers the front side of the heat insulation groove 210. The heat insulation pad 500 is fixedly arranged in the heat insulation groove 210.

[0053] The air conditioner may be a cabinet unit, a wall mounted unit, etc. In this embodiment, the technical solution of the present application is described by taking the cabinet unit as an example.

[0054] Specifically, the air conditioner is vertically arranged, and the front shell assembly is vertically installed on the front side of the air conditioner. The air conditioner may also be provided with a rear shell assembly, a frame, etc. At least one air outlet 700 arranged vertically is formed on the front side of the front shell assembly, and a panel mounting portion 200 is disposed adjacent to a lateral side of the air outlet 700, and a panel 400 is detachably fixedly connected to the front side of the panel mounting portion 200. The panel 400 may be in a long strip shape and is vertically installed on the front side of the panel mounting portion 200.

[0055] It should be understood that the air outlet 700 may be a vertically arranged rectangle, or may be other shapes, such as a vertically extending wave shape. The first side edge 810 forms both the edge of the air outlet 700 and the edge of the panel mounting portion 200. The edges of the panel mounting portion 200 and the panel 400 adjacent to the air outlet 700 extend along the shape of the first side edge 810.

[0056] Since the panel mounting portion 200 and the panel 400 are close to the air outlet 700, when the air conditioner is cooling, the low-temperature airflow in the air outlet 700 will easily transfer the cold to the panel 400, resulting in a lower surface temperature, forming a temperature difference with the air near the front surface of the panel 400, and easily forming condensation on the panel 400, affecting the user experience.

[0057] In this embodiment, a heat insulation groove 210 is provided on the outer side of the first side edge 810, and the heat insulation groove 210 extends along the length direction of the first side edge 810. The front end of the heat insulation groove 210 is covered by the panel 400, so that there is a certain amount of air in the heat insulation groove 210, and the air has good heat insulation ability. At the same time, a heat insulation pad 500 is also placed in the heat insulation groove 210, and the heat insulation pad 500 can be made of flocking cloth, PE (polyethylene) and other materials, and can be directly pasted in the heat insulation groove 210. The heat insulation pad 500 has better heat insulation ability than air, which can further improve the heat insulation effect.

[0058] It should be understood that, when the material of the thermal insulation pad 500 is the same, the thicker the thermal insulation pad 500 is, the better the thermal insulation effect is.

[0059] The front shell assembly of this embodiment can effectively form a heat insulation barrier between the panel 400 and the air outlet 700 by setting a heat insulation groove 210 extending along the edge of the air outlet 700 on the panel mounting portion 200 on the outer side of the air outlet 700, and fixing a heat insulation pad 500 in the heat insulation groove 210, so as to prevent the surface temperature of the panel 400 from being too low, thereby avoiding or reducing the formation of condensation on the surface of the panel 400, thereby achieving the effect of improving the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments of the front shell assembly of the present invention, as Figure 3-5 As shown, the panel mounting portion 200 includes a first side plate 221 and a second side plate 222 .

[0061] The front end of the first side plate 221 near the air outlet 700 forms a first side edge 810. The rear end of the second side plate 222 is fixedly connected to the side of the first side plate 221 away from the air outlet 700. The second side plate 222 and the first side plate 221 have a preset angle to form a heat insulation groove 210 between the first side plate 221 and the second side plate 222.

[0062] There are two air outlets 700 spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other along the width direction thereof. The first side plate 221 and the second side plate 222 are both spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the air outlet 700 to form two heat insulation grooves 210 .

[0063] In this embodiment, the first side plate 221 forms a side wall of the air outlet 700 , and the inner edge of the front end of the first side plate 221 forms a first side edge 810 .

[0064] The second side plate 222 can be integrally formed on the outer side of the first side plate 221 , and the preset angle is preferably an acute angle, such as 30 degrees. In this way, a heat insulation groove 210 with a triangular cross section can be formed between the first side plate 221 and the second side plate 222 .

[0065] The insulation pad 500 can be placed at the front end of the triangle, and some air is sealed in the insulation groove 210 at the rear end of the insulation pad 500, that is, double insulation is achieved by air and the insulation pad 500, thereby reducing the amount of cold in the air outlet 700 transferred to the panel 400.

[0066] Of course, the thermal insulation pad 500 may also be a triangular strip to be filled in the thermal insulation groove 210 .

[0067] In some embodiments of the front shell assembly of the present invention, as Figure 5 As shown, the thickness of the first side plate 221 is greater than the thickness of the second side plate 222. The edge of the front end of the first side plate 221 close to the second side plate 222 is recessed to form a step 223.

[0068] The distance L1 between the front surface of the step 223 and the front end of the first side plate 221 is greater than or equal to 3 mm. The heat insulation pad 500 is located between the front surface and the panel 400, and the thickness of the heat insulation pad 500 is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first side plate 221 is in direct contact with the airflow in the air outlet 700 , and increasing the thickness of the first side plate 221 can improve its heat insulation capability.

[0070] By forming a step 223 by recessing the front end of the first side plate 221, a thicker heat insulation pad 500 can be placed in front of the step 223 to improve the heat insulation capacity. Specifically, the distance between the front surface of the step 223 and the front end of the first side plate 221 is greater than or equal to 3 mm. In other words, there is a sufficient distance between the front surface of the step 223 and the back of the panel 400, allowing the placement of a heat insulation pad 500 with a thickness greater than or equal to 3 mm, which can further improve the heat insulation effect between the air outlet 700 and the panel 400, thereby improving the surface temperature of the panel 400 and further avoiding or reducing the formation of condensation on the surface of the panel 400.

[0071] Preferably, the distance between the front surface of the step 223 and the front end of the first side plate 221 is 5 mm, and a heat insulation pad 500 made of PE material with a thickness of 5 mm can be placed.

[0072] In some embodiments of the front shell assembly of the present invention, as Figure 4-5 As shown, transverse reinforcing ribs 224 are further provided in the heat insulation groove 210 , and there are a plurality of transverse reinforcing ribs 224 , which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air outlet 700 .

[0073] The front ends of the transverse reinforcing ribs 224 are flush with the front surface.

[0074] In this embodiment, the transverse reinforcing rib 224 can improve the structural strength between the first side plate 221 and the second side plate 222 on the one hand, and can stop the thermal insulation pad 500 from the rear end on the other hand, so that the thermal insulation pad 500 is fixedly installed in the step 223.

[0075] Furthermore, a sealed space is formed between two adjacent transverse reinforcing ribs 224 and the insulation groove 210 and the insulation pad 500 to seal a portion of the air, thereby further improving the insulation capacity of the insulation groove 210 .

[0076] In some embodiments of the front shell assembly of the present invention, as Figure 5 and Fig.13 As shown, two limiting grooves 410 are provided on the back of the panel 400. Along the width direction of the air outlet 700, the two limiting grooves 410 are respectively located at opposite ends of the panel 400.

[0077] Each heat-insulating groove 210 is plug-connected in a limiting groove 410 .

[0078] In this embodiment, one lateral end of the back side of the panel 400 may be raised backward to form two ribs, and a limiting groove 410 is formed between the two ribs. By providing the limiting groove 410 and installing the heat insulation groove 210 insert sleeve in the limiting groove 410, the connection strength between the panel 400 and the panel mounting part 200 can be further improved, and the sealing of the heat insulation groove 210 can be improved, thereby improving the heat insulation capacity of the heat insulation groove 210.

[0079] In some embodiments of the front shell assembly of the present invention, as Figure 3 , Figure 8-9 and Fig.12 As shown, the panel mounting portion 200 includes a first end portion 290 and a second end portion 310 that are spaced apart and opposite to each other along the length direction of the air outlet 700 .

[0080] The first end 290 is fixedly connected with a sliding structure 320 facing the second end 310, and the second end 310 is fixedly connected with a hole structure 330. The back of the panel 400 is provided with a slot structure 420 corresponding to the sliding structure 320 and a card structure 430 corresponding to the hole structure 330.

[0081] In this embodiment, the panel 400 is installed on the panel mounting portion 200 through a sliding connection and a plug-in connection. Specifically, during installation, the sliding groove of the sliding groove structure 420 at the upper end of the panel 400 is first aligned with the sliding plug structure 320, and the panel 400 is pushed upward so that the sliding plug structure 320 is inserted into the sliding groove. When pushed upward to the right position, the plug-in structure 430 at the upper end of the panel 400 is located in front of the card hole structure 330, and the lower end of the panel 400 is tapped or pressed backward so that the plug-in structure 430 is inserted into the card hole structure 330.

[0082] The sliding groove structure 420 and the sliding insertion structure 320 can limit the panel 400 in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction, and the card insertion structure 430 and the card hole structure 330 can limit the panel 400 in the up-down direction and the left-to-right direction.

[0083] In this embodiment, the panel 400 can be installed on the panel mounting portion 200 without screw fasteners, and no tools are required during disassembly and assembly, which is relatively simple. On the other hand, since no screws are used, it can be avoided that the screws accidentally fall into the air outlet 700 during disassembly and assembly.

[0084] In some embodiments of the front shell assembly of the present invention, as Figure 4 and Fig. 9 As shown, the panel mounting portion 200 further includes a first connecting plate 230, which is fixedly connected to the first end portion 290, and the front of the first connecting plate 230 is closely connected to the back of the panel 400. The second side edge 240 of the first connecting plate 230 away from the second end portion 310 is flush with the third side edge 820 of the air outlet 700 away from the second end portion 310 in the length direction.

[0085] Two sliding structures 320 are formed at the ends of the first connecting plate 230 on opposite sides along the width direction of the air outlet 700. The sliding groove structures 420 are two sliding structures 320 corresponding to each other.

[0086] In this embodiment, the sliding structure 320 is formed on the first connecting plate 230 and is located at the upper end of the panel mounting portion 200 , which can improve the firmness of the connection with the panel 400 .

[0087] In some embodiments of the front shell assembly of the present invention, as Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, a plurality of first buckles 250 are also provided on the first connecting plate 230, and the plurality of first buckles 250 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the air outlet 700. A transverse limiting rib 460 is provided on the back of the panel 400, so that when the sliding structure 320 is inserted into the sliding groove structure 420, the transverse limiting rib 460 and the plurality of first buckles 250 are in contact and connected.

[0088] In this embodiment, the upper end of the first buckle 250 abuts against the lower end of the transverse limiting rib 460 to limit the panel 400 in the up and down direction. The front end of the first buckle 250 abuts against the back of the panel 400 to abut against the panel 400 in the front and back direction. The first buckle 250 can improve the connection firmness between the panel mounting portion 200 and the panel 400 to prevent the panel 400 from shaking.

[0089] In some embodiments of the front shell assembly of the present invention, as Figure 2 , Fig.11 and Fig.13 As shown, the panel mounting portion 200 further includes a plurality of guide grooves 270, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air outlet 700. The guide grooves 270 are all U-shaped, and the openings are all facing the second end 310. The back of the panel 400 is provided with a positioning slider 470 that is plugged in and matched with the guide grooves 270 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0090] In this embodiment, the guide groove 270 opens downward, and when the panel 400 is slid upward for insertion, the positioning slider 470 can slide upward in the guide groove 270. On the one hand, the guide groove 270 can limit the positioning slider 470 when it slides upward, preventing the panel 400 from tilting left and right when it slides upward. On the other hand, when the panel 400 is installed in place, the guide groove 270 can also limit the positioning slider 470, that is, further limit the panel 400 to prevent the panel 400 from shaking after installation.

[0091] Preferably, the guide groove 270 is disposed at the center of the transverse width of the panel mounting portion 200. A plurality of guide grooves 270 may be provided, which are spaced apart along the vertical length direction of the panel mounting portion 200.
