[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0034] In the current field of air-conditioning technology, the air outlet grille of the air conditioner outdoor unit is usually connected to the panel by a fixed clip method. The air outlet grille is buckled onto the panel, and then the connection between the air outlet grille and the panel is reinforced with screws. In this way, the panel, the air outlet grille and the air guide cover need to be processed and manufactured separately and then connected together, which increases the workload of the entire assembly and production process. In addition, since each component is split, the overall appearance is also poor.

[0035] Based on the above reasons, the present application proposes a front panel assembly 100, an air conditioner outer unit housing 1000, an air conditioner outer unit and a HVAC system, wherein reference can be made to Figures 1 to 7 In an embodiment of the present application, the front panel assembly 100 includes a front panel 1, an air outlet cover 2 and an air guide ring 3. The front panel 1 includes a main board 11 and a frame board 12. The main board 11 has a first surface 11a and a second surface 11b opposite to each other. The main board 11 is provided with a vent 111 penetrating the first surface 11a and the second surface 11b. The frame board 12 is connected to the main board 11 and extends toward the second surface 11b away from the first surface 11a. The frame board 12 is arranged around the periphery of the main board 11. The air outlet cover 2 is provided with the vent 111 and is connected to the front panel 1. The air guide ring 3 is connected to the second surface 11b and protrudes from the second surface 11b. The air guide ring 3 is arranged around the periphery of the air outlet cover 2. The front panel 1, the air outlet cover 2 and the air guide ring 3 are an integrally formed structure.

[0036] Since the front panel 1 includes a main board 11 and a frame board 12, the main board 11 has a first surface 11a and a second surface 11b relative to each other, and the main board 11 has a vent 111 that passes through the first surface 11a and the second surface 11b, the frame board 12 is connected to the main body, and extends from the second surface 11b in a direction away from the first surface 11a and surrounds the periphery of the main board 11. In this way, the frame board 12 can support the main board 11, effectively enhance the stability of the overall structure of the main board 11, and make it less likely to deform or damage. In addition, as a part of the front panel 1, the frame board 12 is located on the peripheral side of the main board 11, which can be easily positioned and installed with other components without affecting the integrity and aesthetics of the surface of the main board 11.

[0037] The air outlet hood 2 covers the vent 111, and cooperates with the air guide ring 3 located on the second surface 11b to guide the flow of gas and ensure that the air can be discharged from the vent 111. In the embodiment of the present application, the front panel 1, the air outlet hood 2 and the air guide ring 3 are an integrally formed structure. Such a configuration can, on the one hand, simplify the production process and assembly process of the front panel 1, the air outlet hood 2 and the air guide ring 3, reduce errors in the assembly process, and reduce manufacturing costs. On the other hand, the integrally formed front panel 1, the air outlet hood 2 and the air guide ring 3 can enhance the overall appearance and texture of the product, and ensure the consistency and aesthetics of the appearance surface of the front panel assembly 100.

[0038] In order to ensure the consistency of the overall appearance of the front panel assembly 100, the front panel 1, the air hood 2 and the air guide ring 3 are an integral injection molded part. In the embodiment of the present application, the front panel assembly 100 is manufactured and produced by an integral injection molding method. The advantage is that the entire process includes the steps of mold closing, injection molding, pressure holding, cooling, mold opening and product removal, and the above steps can be repeated in a short time, so as to achieve mass production, achieve efficient production, ensure product accuracy and quality while further reducing production costs. In the present application, the integral injection molding is adopted for the entire front panel assembly 100, which can further ensure the integrity of the connection between the various components of the front panel assembly 100, as well as the overall aesthetics and appearance consistency of the front panel 1, the air hood 2 and the air guide ring 3.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 5 The front panel assembly 100 further includes a demolding member 4 , which is connected to the second surface 11 b and protrudes from the second surface 11 b . Since the front panel assembly 100 is manufactured by injection molding, and the front panel assembly 100 includes a front panel 1, an air outlet cover 2 and an air guide ring 3, the front panel 1 is rectangular and has a large area. During demolding, it is necessary to ensure the integrity and aesthetics of the front panel assembly 100. It should be noted that the first surface 11a is the appearance surface of the front panel 1, and the second surface 11b is the inner surface of the front panel 1. Therefore, in the present application, the demolding member 4 is protruding from the second surface 11b and does not affect the integrity of the first surface 11a. Correspondingly, the demolding member 4 located on the second surface 11b can facilitate the smooth demolding of the front panel assembly 100 from the injection mold, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of demolding and ensure that the appearance surface of the front panel assembly 100 will not be excessively squeezed or stretched during the demolding process, thereby ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance of the front panel assembly 100. In addition, the introduction of the demolding member 4 can also optimize the production process, reduce the demolding time, and thus improve the production efficiency of the front panel assembly 100.

[0040] For details, please continue to refer to Figure 5The demolding member 4 includes a plurality of demolding top posts 41 , each of which is connected to the second surface 11 b and protrudes from the second surface 11 b , and each of which extends toward the second surface 11 b away from the first surface 11 a , and each of which is spaced apart at the periphery of the vent 111 . During the demolding process of the front panel assembly 100, a demolding system is used to eject the front panel assembly 100 from the mold. The demolding system generally includes components such as ejector pins, ejector plates, push plates and springs. In the embodiment of the present application, the demolding ejector pin 41 is used to cooperate with the ejector pin. The ejector pin pushes the demolding ejector pin 41, and then pushes the front panel 1 out of the mold. The connection and cooperation between the demolding ejector pin 41 and the ejector pin can avoid adhesion between the board surface of the front panel 1 and the mold, thereby ensuring smooth demolding, so that the appearance surface of the front panel assembly 100 will not be excessively squeezed or stretched, thereby ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance of the front panel assembly 100. At the same time, the provision of the demolding ejector pin 41 can speed up the demolding time, thereby ensuring efficient production of the front panel assembly 100.

[0041] Correspondingly, in some embodiments, the demolding member 4 includes a plurality of demolding clips 42, each demolding clip 42 is connected to the second surface 11b and protrudes from the second surface 11b, each demolding clip 42 extends in a direction parallel to the second surface 11b, and each demolding clip 42 is arranged at intervals on the periphery of the vent 111. During the demolding process of the front panel assembly 100, after the mold is opened, the mold is ejected from the mold on the side with the ejector pin by the ejection mechanism. Specifically, the mold close to the first surface 11a is first separated from the first surface 11a. At this time, the demolding clips 42 located on the second surface 11b can be plugged and matched with the mold close to the second surface 11b, so that the front panel assembly 100 can be adsorbed on the mold close to the second surface 11b, avoiding the front panel assembly 100 from adhering to the mold close to the first surface 11a, thereby further ensuring that the appearance of the front panel assembly 100 at the first surface 11a is not damaged, and ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance of the front panel assembly 100.

[0042] In addition, the demolding strip 42 can also strengthen the panel. The demolding strip 42 can disperse the stress on the front panel assembly 100 and can disperse the stress on the front panel 1 to a larger area. The demolding strip 42 can also improve the rigidity of the front panel 1. The demolding strip 42 enhances the overall rigidity of the front panel 1 through its own rigidity and the connection with the front panel 1, making it less likely to deform, thereby improving the stability of the front panel assembly 100.

[0043] Furthermore, each demoulding clip 42 extends in the same direction. It is understandable that each demoulding clip 42 extends in the same direction and is arranged at equal intervals. Such an arrangement can ensure a reasonable and uniform layout. On the one hand, it can ensure the adsorption effect of the demoulding clip 42, thereby facilitating demoulding. On the other hand, it can also avoid cracking caused by uneven shrinkage. In addition, since the area of ​​the front panel assembly 100 is large, for large-area injection molded parts, the demoulding clip 42 needs to be used to play the role of a reinforcing rib to disperse the stress on the front panel 1, improve the rigidity of the front panel 1, and thus ensure the stability and durability of the front panel assembly 100.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the demolding member 4 includes a demolding top column 41 and a demolding clip 42. The demolding top column 41 is connected to the second surface 11b and protrudes from the second surface 11b, and the demolding top column 41 extends in a direction toward the second surface 11b away from the first surface 11a; the demolding clip 42 is connected to the second surface 11b and protrudes from the second surface 11b, and the demolding clip 42 extends in a direction parallel to the second surface 11b. The demolding clip 42 is connected to the demolding top column 41, and the dimension of the demolding clip 42 along the first direction is smaller than the dimension of the demolding top column 41 along the first direction, and the first direction is the width direction of the demolding clip 42. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the demolding pin 41 and the demolding strip 42 cooperate with each other so that the demolding strip 42 can be adsorbed on the mold near the second surface 11b to avoid adhesion between the front panel assembly 100 and the mold near the first surface 11a, and facilitate demolding of the mold near the first surface 11a, so that the appearance of the front panel assembly 100 at the first surface 11a remains intact and beautiful, and then the ejector pin and the demolding pin 41 in the demolding system cooperate to push the demolding pin 41 to ensure that the demolding strip 42 and the mold near the second surface 11b are demolded, thereby realizing the demolding of the front panel assembly 100, which can ensure the integrity and beauty of the appearance of the front panel assembly 100 while accelerating the demolding progress and preventing adhesion during the demolding process.

[0045] In some embodiments, the demolding pin 41 is cylindrically arranged, and has an outer ring and an inner ring arranged concentrically. The ejector pin extends into the inner ring of the demolding pin 41 to push the front panel 1 out of the mold, and because the demolding clip 42 is connected to the demolding pin 41, the size of the demolding clip 42 along the first direction is smaller than the size of the demolding pin 41 along the first direction. The demolding clip 42 can support the demolding pin 41, and the size of the demolding clip 42 along the first direction, that is, the thickness of the demolding clip 42 and the radius difference between the inner ring and the outer ring of the demolding pin 41 are kept consistent to avoid shrinking the surface of the front panel assembly 100. On the premise of facilitating demolding, the flatness of the appearance of the front panel assembly 100 is ensured, and the rigidity of the front panel 1 is enhanced.

[0046] In some of the embodiments, the air guide ring 3 extends in a direction perpendicular to the second surface 11b, and is extended in a direction away from the first surface 11a. The air guide ring 3 can guide the air so that the airflow can flow along the direction guided by the air guide ring 3. The air guide ring 3 is arranged perpendicular to the second surface 11b. On the one hand, the rigidity of the front panel 1 is improved through the connection between the air guide ring 3 and the main board 11. On the other hand, it can also facilitate processing and demolding during the injection molding process to improve production efficiency.

[0047] For the corresponding Figures 2 to 3 The frame plate 12 is connected to the outer edge of the main board 11 to form a frame structure, which protects the main board 11 and can enhance the stability of the overall structure of the front panel assembly 100, making it less likely to deform or be damaged.

[0048] Furthermore, the frame plate 12 is provided with connecting holes 121 and / or connecting grooves 122. Since the front panel assembly 100 needs to be connected with other related structures, the frame plate 12 also serves to connect other components. Specifically, the frame plate 12 is provided with corresponding connecting holes 121 and / or connecting grooves 122, so that other components can be threadedly connected and plugged in, so that the front panel assembly 100 can be positioned and installed with other components to form an integral structure.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 In the second aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner outer housing 1000, which includes the above-mentioned front panel assembly 100 and a main housing 200. The main housing 200 includes a back plate and a peripheral side plate. The peripheral side plate is connected to the periphery of the back plate and encloses the back plate to form an installation space. The installation space forms an opening on the side of the peripheral side plate away from the back plate. The main board 11 covers the opening, and at least part of the frame plate 12 extends into the installation space and connects to the peripheral side plate.
