[0049] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

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.

[0051] 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.

[0052] The panel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 14 As shown, the panel assembly 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes: a panel bracket 1, a reinforced sheet metal 2 and an air outlet grille 3.

[0054] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , both sides of the panel bracket 1 in the width direction have first air outlets 11, the first air outlets 11 extend along the length direction of the panel bracket 1, and the panel bracket 1 has a mounting plate 14 located between the two first air outlets 11. It should be noted that the two first air outlets 11 can facilitate the air conditioner 100 to discharge air to both sides in the width direction of the panel bracket 1. For example, in the present utility model, the width direction of the panel bracket 1 is the left-right direction, and the two first air outlets 11 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the panel bracket 1, so as to facilitate the air conditioner 100 to discharge air to the left and right. The left-right direction refers to the left and right direction of the user when the user is facing the air conditioner 100. However, the present utility model is not limited to this, and the width direction of the panel bracket 1 can also be other directions, such as the up and down direction.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 4-Figure 8As shown, both ends of the mounting plate 14 in the width direction are provided with reinforcing sheet metals 2, which are located outside the first air outlet 11 and extend along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. It can be understood that since the mounting plate 14 is located between the two first air outlets 11 along the width direction of the panel bracket 1, the two ends of the mounting plate 14 along the width direction of the panel bracket 1 are respectively located at the edges of the two first air outlets 11, and the two reinforcing sheet metals 2 are provided at the two ends of the mounting plate 14 in the width direction, so that the two reinforcing sheet metals 2 are respectively located at the edges of the two first air outlets 11. As a result, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 becomes a supporting member of the first air outlet 11, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can be discharged and used normally.

[0056] In addition, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11, so that the reinforcing sheet metal 2 can support the first air outlet 11 in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, thereby increasing the support range of the first air outlet 11, so that the reinforcing sheet metal 2 can reliably support the structure at the first air outlet 11, thereby further improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, further reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and further ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can be discharged and used normally. At the same time, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is located outside the first air outlet 11, so as to avoid blocking the air outlet of the first air outlet 11, so that the air outlet is smooth.

[0057] Furthermore, if Figure 4-Figure 8 As shown, each first air outlet 11 is provided with an air outlet grille 3 . The air outlet grille 3 provided in the first air outlet 11 can prevent the user from inserting his hand into the air conditioner 100 , thereby improving the safety of the user when using the air conditioner 100 .

[0058] The air outlet grille 3 is connected to the reinforcing sheet metal 2 on the same side and / or to the mounting plate 14. In the present invention, the air outlet grille 3 is connected to both the reinforcing sheet metal 2 on the same side and the mounting plate 14. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the air outlet grille 3 may also be connected only to the reinforcing sheet metal 2 on the same side, or may be connected only to the mounting plate 14.

[0059] It should be noted that when the air outlet grille 3 is connected to the reinforcing sheet metal 2 and the mounting plate 14 on the same side, the connection reliability of the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 can be improved, so that the air outlet grille 3 can be installed stably, and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 can also strengthen the support for the air outlet grille 3, so that the air outlet grille 3 is not easily deformed. When the air outlet grille 3 is only connected to the reinforcing sheet metal 2 on the same side, the connection structure on the mounting plate 14 can be reduced, thereby optimizing the structure of the panel bracket 1.

[0060] At the same time, since there are many parts on the mounting plate 14 and the space is limited, the process of operating and installing parts on the mounting plate 14 is relatively complicated. When the air outlet grille 3 is only connected to the reinforcing sheet metal 2 on the same side, the air outlet grille 3 can be assembled with the reinforcing sheet metal 2 first and then installed on the mounting plate 14 together, thereby avoiding the operation of the air outlet grille 3 on the mounting plate 14, thereby simplifying the connection between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 and improving production efficiency.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the middle portion of the mounting plate 14 is recessed toward the inside of the air conditioner 100, thereby forming an installation space for facilitating the installation of structures such as wiring harnesses.

[0062] According to the panel assembly 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the first air outlet 11 is provided on both sides of the panel bracket 1 in the width direction, and the mounting plate 14 is provided between the two first air outlets 11 of the panel bracket 1. Both ends of the mounting plate 14 in the width direction are provided with a reinforcing sheet metal 2, and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is located outside the first air outlet 11 and extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. Thus, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 becomes a supporting member of the first air outlet 11, and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 can support the first air outlet 11 in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, so that the reinforcing sheet metal 2 can reliably support the structure at the first air outlet 11, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can be discharged and used normally.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 10-13 As shown, the air outlet grille 3 is provided with a mounting portion 31 , which is connected to the mounting plate 14 via fasteners, and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 on the same side as the air outlet grille 3 is provided with an avoidance fastener and an avoidance opening 29 for the mounting portion 31 .

[0064] It can be understood that the mounting portion 31 is disposed on one side of the air outlet grille 3 in the width direction, wherein Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate 14 has a first connecting column 141, and the mounting portion 31 and the first connecting column 141 can be connected by fasteners such as screws, thereby improving the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14, so that the air outlet grille 3 can be stably installed. The setting of the avoidance opening 29 can avoid installation interference between the mounting portion 31 and the reinforcement sheet metal 2, thereby avoiding installation interference between the air outlet grille 3 and the reinforcement sheet metal 2, thereby facilitating installation and improving production efficiency.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 10-13 As shown, there are a plurality of mounting portions 31 spaced apart along the length direction of the air outlet grille 3 , and a plurality of avoidance openings 29 spaced apart along the length direction of the reinforcing sheet metal 2 . The plurality of mounting portions 31 are correspondingly provided to the plurality of avoidance openings 29 .

[0066] It is understandable that, among them, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are a plurality of first connection columns 141 spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting plate 14, and there are a plurality of first connection columns 141 corresponding to the mounting portions 31. Thus, the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 is further improved by the one-to-one connection of the plurality of first connection columns 141 and the plurality of mounting portions 31, so that the air outlet grille 3 is stably installed. By providing a plurality of avoidance openings 29, the installation interference between the air outlet grille 3 and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is further avoided, so that the installation is convenient and the production efficiency is improved.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10-13 As shown, the air outlet grille 3 is provided with a first hook 32 , and the reinforced sheet metal 2 on the same side as the air outlet grille 3 is provided with a first hanging hole 21 , and the first hook 32 is hung in the first hanging hole 21 .

[0068] It can be understood that the first hook 32 is provided at one side of the width direction of the air outlet grille 3, and the first hook 32 cooperates with the first hanging hole 21 to improve the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the reinforced sheet metal 2, so that the air outlet grille 3 can be installed stably and reliably. At the same time, the air outlet grille 3 and the reinforced sheet metal 2 are connected by the first hook 32 and the first hanging hole 21, thereby reducing the setting of some fasteners, and can reduce the operation of tightening fasteners, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency between the air outlet grille 3 and the reinforced sheet metal 2, thereby improving the production and installation efficiency and maintenance efficiency.

[0069] In addition, when the air outlet grille 3 is provided with a mounting portion 31, the mounting portion 31 and the first hook 32 are arranged on the same side in the width direction of the air outlet grille 3. Thus, when the air outlet grille 3 is connected to the reinforcing sheet metal 2 and the mounting plate 14, the installation and connection operations can be performed on the same side, thereby improving the installation and connection efficiency of the air outlet grille 3.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10-13As shown, the first hooks 32 are arranged in a plurality of intervals along the length direction of the air outlet grille 3, and the first hanging holes 21 are arranged in a plurality of intervals along the length direction of the reinforcing sheet metal 2. Thus, the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is further improved, so that the air outlet grille 3 can be installed stably and reliably.

[0071] For example, Fig.10 and Fig.12 In the example shown, there are three first hooks 32 and three first hanging holes 21, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of first hooks 32 and the number of first hanging holes 21 may be other numbers, such as 2, 4, 5 or 6.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 has a hanging portion 23 located below the first hanging hole 21 . The hanging portion 23 protrudes in a direction away from the mounting plate 14 and forms a hanging space 231 between the hanging portion 23 and the mounting plate 14 for the first hook 32 to extend into.

[0073] It is understandable that the setting of the hanging portion 23 allows the first hook 32 to be better confined in the hanging space 231, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the reinforced sheet metal 2 and the air outlet grille 3. It should be noted that the length direction of the panel bracket 1 is the up-down direction, and the hanging portion 23 is located below the first hanging hole 21, so that the first hook 32 automatically enters the hanging space 231 under the action of gravity after entering the first hanging hole 21, and there is no need to apply a downward force to the first hook 32, thereby improving the installation efficiency. At the same time, the hanging portion 23 can limit the first hook 32 from leaving the hanging space 231 downward, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the reinforced sheet metal 2 and the air outlet grille 3.

[0074] When the air outlet grille 3 is installed on the reinforced sheet metal 2, the first hook 32 is first placed in the first hanging hole 21, and then the first hook 32 is aligned with the opening of the hanging space 231. The first hook 32 automatically falls into the hanging space 231 due to gravity, thereby completing the installation connection between the air outlet grille 3 and the reinforced sheet metal 2.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.14 As shown, the panel assembly 10 also includes: a panel 4, which is arranged on the front side of the panel bracket 1, and the side of the panel 4 facing the panel bracket 1 has a second hook 41, and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 has a second hanging hole 22 that matches the second hook 41.

[0076] It can be understood that the panel 4 and the mounting plate 14 are relatively fixed through the connection between the panel 4 and the reinforcing sheet metal 2, thereby reducing the corresponding connection structure on the mounting plate 14, thereby simplifying the structure of the mounting plate 14, and making the panel bracket 1 simple in structure.

[0077] In addition, the cooperation between the second hook 41 and the second hanging hole 22 improves the connection reliability between the panel 4 and the reinforced sheet metal 2, so that the panel 4 is stably and reliably installed on the mounting plate 14. At the same time, the cooperation between the panel 4 and the reinforced sheet metal 2 through the second hook 41 and the second hanging hole 22 reduces the setting of the corresponding part of the fasteners, reduces the operation of disassembling and assembling the fasteners, simplifies the connection process, and thus improves the installation production efficiency.

[0078] Furthermore, the panel 4 can also be connected to the mounting plate 14 by fasteners such as screws, etc., thereby improving the connection reliability between the panel 4 and the mounting plate 14, thereby further making the panel 4 installed on the mounting plate 14 stable and reliable.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.14 As shown, each reinforced sheet metal 2 has a plurality of second hanging holes 22 arranged at intervals in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, and the second hooks 41 are arranged in two rows at intervals in the width direction of the panel 4, and each row of second hooks 41 includes a plurality of second hooks 41 corresponding to the plurality of second hanging holes 22 on the reinforced sheet metal 2. Thus, the connection reliability between the panel 4 and the reinforced sheet metal 2 is further improved, so that the panel 4 can be stably and reliably installed on the mounting plate 14.

[0080] For example, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In the example shown, each row of second hooks 41 includes five second hooks 41, and each reinforced sheet metal 2 has five second hanging holes 22, but the utility model is not limited to this. Each row of second hooks 41 can also include other numbers of hooks, and each reinforced sheet metal 2 can also have other numbers of second hanging holes 22, such as 3, 4, 6 or 7, etc.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is connected to the mounting plate 14 by fasteners such as screws. It can be understood that the reinforcing sheet metal 2 has a plurality of connection holes 28, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the reinforcing sheet metal 2, and the mounting plate 14 has a plurality of second connection columns 142, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting plate 14, and fasteners such as screws are inserted into the connection holes 28, and the fasteners are connected to the second connection columns 142.

[0082] As a result, the reinforced sheet metal 2 and the mounting plate 14 can be connected by fasteners, thereby improving the connection reliability between the reinforced sheet metal 2 and the mounting plate 14, so that the installation of the reinforced sheet metal 2 is stable, and further makes the structure of the first air outlet 11 supported by the reinforced sheet metal 2 reliable, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can discharge air normally and be used normally.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is connected by snapping with the mounting plate 14. Thus, the connection reliability between the reinforcing sheet metal 2 and the mounting plate 14 is further improved, so that the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is stably installed, and the structure of the first air outlet 11 supported by the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is further reliable, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can be discharged and used normally.

[0084] At the same time, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is snap-connected with the mounting plate 14 , so that the reinforcing sheet metal 2 and the mounting plate 14 are easy to assemble and disassemble, thereby improving the installation efficiency and maintenance efficiency between the reinforcing sheet metal 2 and the mounting plate 14 .

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, there is a hook between the reinforced sheet metal 2 and the first air outlet 11 on the same side, and the hook is arranged on the mounting plate 14. The reinforced sheet metal 2 includes a sheet metal body 25, and the sheet metal body 25 has a folded edge 24 bent toward the mounting plate 14 at one end facing the first air outlet 11 on the same side, and the folded edge 24 is clamped in the space defined between the hook and the panel 4.

[0086] It can be understood that, by clamping the folded edge 24 in the space defined between the hook and the panel 4, at least a portion of the folded edge 24 is arranged on the side of the hook facing the mounting plate 14, thereby, the hook can prevent the folded edge 24 from moving away from the mounting plate 14, thereby improving the limiting effect of the folded edge 24, thereby further making the installation of the reinforced sheet metal 2 stable, thereby further making the structure of the reinforced sheet metal 2 supporting the first air outlet 11 reliable, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can discharge air normally and be used normally.

[0087] In addition, by providing the folded edge 24, the structural strength of the reinforced sheet metal 2 is strengthened, thereby further making the structure of the reinforced sheet metal 2 supporting the first air outlet 11 reliable, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can outlet air normally and be used normally.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the folded edge 24 includes: a first folded edge 241, a second folded edge 242 and a third folded edge 243. One end of the first folded edge 241 is connected to the sheet metal body 25, and the other end extends toward the mounting plate 14; one end of the second folded edge 242 is connected to the end of the first folded edge 241 facing away from the sheet metal body 25, and the other end extends toward the first air outlet 11 on the same side and away from the mounting plate 14; one end of the third folded edge 243 is connected to the end of the second folded edge 242 facing away from the first folded edge 241, and the other end of the third folded edge 243 is bent in the direction away from the mounting plate 14 and then stacked with the second folded edge 242.

[0089] It can be understood that by providing the first folded edge 241, the second folded edge 242 and the third folded edge 243, the structural strength of the reinforced sheet metal 2 is strengthened, thereby further making the structure of the reinforced sheet metal 2 supporting the first air outlet 11 reliable, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can exhaust air normally and be used normally.

[0090] Furthermore, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the second folded edge 242 and the third folded edge 243 are located in the space defined between the hook and the panel 4. Along the width direction of the mounting plate 14, the end of the hook away from the mounting plate 14 is inclined toward the rear side, and the end of the second folded edge 242 away from the first folded edge 241 is inclined toward the front side, and the other end of the third folded edge 243 is bent in the direction away from the mounting plate 14 and then stacked with the second folded edge 242. The third folded edge 243 is parallel to the second folded edge 242. Along the front-to-back direction, the end face of the third folded edge 243 away from the second folded edge 242 abuts against the hook. As a result, the hook can further limit the movement of the folded edge 24 in the direction away from the mounting plate 14, thereby improving the installation stability of the reinforced sheet metal 2.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the reinforced sheet metal 2 includes a sheet metal body 25, and the end of the sheet metal body 25 facing away from the first air outlet 11 on the same side has a flange 26 bent toward the mounting plate 14, and the flange 26 includes: a first flange 261 and a second flange 262, one end of the first flange 261 is connected to the sheet metal body 25, and the other end of the first flange 261 extends toward the mounting plate 14, one end of the second flange 262 is connected to the end of the first flange 261 facing away from the sheet metal body 25, and the other end is bent in a direction away from the mounting plate 14 and is stacked with the first flange 261.

[0092] It can be understood that by providing the first flange 261 and the second flange 262, the structural strength of the reinforced sheet metal 2 is strengthened, thereby further making the structure of the reinforced sheet metal 2 supporting the first air outlet 11 reliable, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can outlet air normally and be used normally.

[0093] At the same time, one end of the second flange 262 is connected to the end of the first flange 261 away from the sheet metal body 25, and the other end is bent in a direction away from the mounting plate 14 and then stacked with the first flange 261. Thus, the first flange 261 and the second flange 262 are stacked, so that the structure of the reinforced sheet metal 2 is compact, and while improving the structural strength of the reinforced sheet metal 2, the second flange 262 is prevented from occupying too much space and affecting other structures on the mounting plate 14.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is provided with reinforcing ribs 27, and the reinforcing ribs 27 extend along the length direction of the reinforcing sheet metal 2. Thus, the structural strength of the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is improved, so that the structure of the first air outlet 11 supported by the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is further reliable, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can be discharged and used normally.

[0095] Furthermore, if Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the reinforcing rib 27 is formed as a protrusion or a groove on the reinforcing sheet metal 2. It is understandable that the protrusion or the groove formed on the reinforcing sheet metal 2 can be formed by stamping on the reinforcing sheet metal 2, so that there is no need to set other structures on the reinforcing sheet metal 2 to form the reinforcing rib 27, thereby reducing the weight of the reinforcing sheet metal 2 and reducing the manufacturing cost. Figure 6 and Fig.11 In the example shown, the reinforcing rib 27 is formed as a groove on the reinforcing sheet metal 2 , but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the reinforcing rib 27 may also be formed as a protrusion on the reinforcing sheet metal 2 .

[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the length direction of the panel bracket 1 is the up-down direction, and the panel bracket 1 is further provided with a second air outlet 12, which is located below the first air outlet 11 and below the panel bracket 1, and the second air outlet 12 extends along the width direction of the panel bracket 1. Thus, the air outlet position is increased, so that the air conditioner 100 can better discharge air downward, thereby improving the air outlet effect. And when the air conditioner is cooling, the downward air outlet can improve the cooling effect, so that the air conditioner 100 can cool better.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the length direction of the panel bracket 1 is the up-down direction, and the panel bracket 1 is further provided with a third air outlet 13, which is provided on the top wall of the panel bracket 1. Thus, the air outlet position is increased, so that the air conditioner 100 can better discharge air upward, thereby improving the air outlet effect. And when the air conditioner 100 is heating, the upward air outlet can improve the heating effect, so that the air conditioner 100 can better heat.

[0098] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0099] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the above-mentioned panel assembly 10.

[0100] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes an air outlet frame 20, a chassis 30 and a top cover 40. The air outlet frame 20 is located in the panel bracket 1 and connected to the panel bracket 1, which is convenient for the air outlet of the air conditioner 100. The chassis 30 is located at the lower end of the panel bracket 1 and connected to the panel bracket 1. The top cover 40 is located at the upper end of the panel bracket 1 and connected to the panel bracket 1, thereby facilitating the assembly of the air conditioner 100 of this utility model.

[0101] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting the above-mentioned panel assembly 10, first air outlets 11 are set on both sides of the width direction of the panel bracket 1, and a mounting plate 14 is set between the two first air outlets 11 of the panel bracket 1. Both ends of the mounting plate 14 in the width direction are provided with reinforcing sheet metal 2, and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 is located outside the first air outlet 11 and extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. Therefore, the reinforcing sheet metal 2 becomes a supporting member of the first air outlet 11, and the reinforcing sheet metal 2 can support the first air outlet 11 in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, so that the reinforcing sheet metal 2 can reliably support the structure at the first air outlet 11, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can be discharged and used normally.
