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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] The panel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0051] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the panel assembly 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes: a panel bracket 1, a panel 3 and a light board assembly 2.

[0052] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-Figure 6 The panel bracket 1 has an air outlet 11, the panel 3 is arranged on the front side of the panel bracket 1 and is at least partially located above the air outlet 11, the light board assembly 2 is located between the panel bracket 1 and the panel 3 and is at least partially located above the air outlet 11, and the light board assembly 2 is connected to the panel bracket 1 for emitting light downward.

[0053] It should be noted that the panel 3 is arranged on the front side of the panel bracket 1 and is at least partially located above the air outlet 11, and the light board assembly 2 is located between the panel bracket 1 and the panel 3 and is at least partially located above the air outlet 11, so that the panel 3 and the light board assembly 2 can be prevented from completely blocking the air outlet 11, thereby ensuring the air outlet effect. Preferably, the panel 3 completely covers the light board assembly 2, so that the panel assembly 10 can better protect the light board assembly 2, prevent dust and liquid from contacting the light board assembly 2, and improve the service life of the light board assembly 2. At the same time, since the panel 3 completely covers the light board assembly 2, the air conditioner 100 can also be made more beautiful. The front side refers to the air outlet side of the air conditioner 100, and the rear side is opposite to the front side.

[0054] It can be understood that there is a gap between the panel bracket 1 and the panel 3, and the light board assembly 2 is located between the panel bracket 1 and the panel 3 so as to fill at least part of the gap, and the light board assembly 2 is at least partially located above the air outlet 11, thereby increasing the structural saturation of the panel bracket 1 at and above the air outlet 11, thereby increasing the structural strength of the panel bracket 1 at and above the air outlet 11. At the same time, when the structure of the panel bracket 1 located above the air outlet 11 is stressed, for example, when the user lifts the air conditioner 100, the structure above the air outlet 11 is the stress point. At this time, the light board assembly 2 and the panel bracket 1 can share the load, further improving the structural strength of the panel bracket 1 above the air outlet 11, thereby reducing the occurrence of cracks in the panel bracket 1 at the air outlet 11.

[0055] In addition, the light panel assembly 2 emits light downward, and the light emitted by the light panel assembly 2 is directed toward the external environment, so that the air conditioner 100 can have the functions of light show and illumination. Therefore, the air conditioner 100 not only has the function of air outlet, but also has the functions of illumination and light show, thereby increasing the use of the air conditioner 100 and meeting the user's additional lighting and light show needs.

[0056] According to the panel assembly 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the panel bracket 1 has an air outlet 11, the panel 3 is arranged on the front side of the panel bracket 1 and is at least partially located above the air outlet 11, the light panel assembly 2 is located between the panel bracket 1 and the panel 3 and is at least partially located above the air outlet 11, and the light panel assembly 2 is connected to the panel bracket 1, which increases the structural saturation of the panel bracket 1 above and at the air outlet 11, thereby increasing the structural strength of the panel bracket 1 at and above the air outlet 11. The light panel assembly 2 is used to emit light downward, so that the air conditioner 100 not only has the function of exhausting air, but also has the function of lighting and light show, thereby increasing the use of the air conditioner 100 and meeting the user's additional lighting and light show needs.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the light board assembly 2 includes: a light board bracket 21 and a light board body 22. The light board bracket 21 is connected to the panel bracket 1. The upper surface of the light board bracket 21 has a mounting groove 211. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 211 has a light emitting hole 2114 that penetrates the light board bracket 21. The light board body 22 is arranged in the mounting groove 211 and is used to place the light-emitting component (not shown).

[0058] Among them, the setting of the light outlet hole 2114 enables the installation groove 211 to be connected with the external environment, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting component can be better irradiated to the external environment, thereby enhancing the lighting and light show effects and improving the user experience.

[0059] It can be understood that the light panel body 22 can be installed on the panel bracket 1 through the light panel bracket 21, so as to realize the light show and lighting functions of the air conditioner 100. Therefore, the light panel bracket 21 can be used as a adapter between the panel bracket 1 and the light panel body 22. The light panel bracket 21 can be designed to meet both the connection structure suitable for the panel bracket 1 and the connection structure suitable for the light panel body 22, thereby eliminating the need to modify the structure of the light panel body 22 or the structure of the panel bracket 1, thereby improving applicability and facilitating the installation between the panel bracket 1 and the light panel body 22.

[0060] Preferably, the lamp panel body 22 is a standard part, so there is no need to specially design and modify the lamp panel body 22, which saves design and modification costs and reduces production costs.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9-11As shown, a first limiting protrusion 2111 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the mounting groove 211, and the first limiting protrusion 2111 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211, and the lamp board body 22 includes: a mounting portion 221 and a limiting portion 222, the mounting portion 221 is used to place the light-emitting component, wherein the upper surface of the mounting portion 221 has a placement groove 223 for placing the light-emitting component; the limiting portion 222 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the mounting portion 221, and the limiting portion 222 is located between the first limiting protrusion 2111 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211.

[0062] It can be understood that the first limiting protrusion 2111 is separated from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211, and the limiting portion 222 is located between the first limiting protrusion 2111 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 211 can limit the limiting portion 222 from moving in the direction away from the first limiting protrusion 2111. The first limiting protrusion 2111 can limit the limiting portion 222 from moving in the direction away from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211, so that the limiting portion 222 is restricted from moving in the up and down directions by the first limiting protrusion 2111 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211, thereby improving the installation reliability and stability between the lamp board body 22 and the lamp board bracket 21.

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 9-11 As shown, the first limiting protrusions 2111 are multiple and spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the mounting groove 211 , thereby further improving the limiting effect on the lamp board body 22 , thereby improving the installation reliability and stability between the lamp board body 22 and the lamp board bracket 21 .

[0064] For example, in the present invention, there are two first limiting protrusions 2111, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and there may be more first limiting protrusions 2111, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9-11 As shown, the upper surface of the first limiting protrusion 2111 is inclined downward from the fixed end to the free end. Therefore, the upper surface of the first limiting protrusion 2111 forms a guiding inclined surface, and when the light board body 22 is downwardly installed in the installation groove 211, it is convenient for the limiting portion 222 to enter between the first limiting protrusion 2111 and the bottom wall of the installation groove 211 along the upper surface of the first limiting protrusion 2111, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9-11As shown, a spring sheet 2113 is provided on the peripheral wall of the mounting groove 211, and one end of the spring sheet 2113 (the free end, such as the lower end in the present invention) is movable in the direction toward the center of the mounting groove 211 and away from the center of the mounting groove 211, and a first limiting protrusion 2111 is provided on the spring sheet 2113, wherein the spring sheets 2113 are multiple and correspond one to one with the first limiting protrusion 2111, and the first limiting protrusion 2111 is provided on the free end of the spring sheet 2113.

[0067] It is understandable that when the light board body 22 is installed downward into the mounting groove 211, the limiting portion 222 contacts the upper surface of the first limiting protrusion 2111, thereby driving one end of the spring sheet 2113 to move away from the center of the mounting groove 211, so that the limiting portion 222 can enter between the first limiting protrusion 2111 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. When the limiting portion 222 enters between the first limiting protrusion 2111 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211, one end of the spring sheet 2113 moves toward the center of the mounting groove 211 through the elastic force, so that the light board body 22 can be located between the first limiting protrusion 2111 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211, so that the first limiting protrusion 2111 can limit the upward movement of the light board body 22.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the front side of the light board bracket 21 has a first groove 212, and the first groove 212 is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 2121 spaced apart in the left-right direction. It can be understood that the provision of the first groove 212 can reduce the weight of the light board bracket 21, thereby saving costs, and the first reinforcing ribs 2121 connect the upper and lower inner walls of the first groove 212, and the provision of the first reinforcing ribs 2121 improves the strength of the light board bracket 21, thereby further improving the structural strength of the panel bracket 1 at the air outlet 11.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the left and right sides of the light board bracket 21 are provided with second grooves 213, and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 2131 spaced apart in the front-to-back direction are provided in the second grooves 213. It can be understood that the provision of the second grooves 213 can reduce the weight of the light board bracket 21, thereby saving costs, and the second reinforcing ribs 2131 connect the upper and lower inner walls, and the provision of the second reinforcing ribs 2131 improves the strength of the light board bracket 21, thereby further improving the structural strength of the panel bracket 1 at the air outlet 11.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 211 is provided with a third groove 2116, the third groove 2116 is provided at the rear side of the light exit hole 2114, the light exit hole 2114 is spaced apart from the third groove 2116, and a plurality of third reinforcing ribs 2112 spaced apart along the left-right direction are provided in the third groove 2116. It can be understood that the provision of the third groove 2116 can reduce the weight of the light board bracket 21, thereby saving costs, and the third reinforcing ribs 2112 connect the front and rear side walls of the third groove 2116, and the provision of the third reinforcing ribs 2112 improves the strength of the light board bracket 21, thereby further improving the structural strength of the panel bracket 1 at the air outlet 11.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, a limiting rib 2115 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the installation groove 211. In the direction from top to bottom, the end surface of the limiting rib 2115 that is away from the inner circumferential wall of the installation groove 211 is inclined toward the direction away from the circumferential wall of the installation groove 211.

[0072] It can be understood that by arranging the limiting rib 2115 in the above-mentioned manner, the distance between the end face of the limiting rib 2115 that deviates from the inner wall of the mounting groove 211 and the center of the mounting groove 211 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Thus, at the notch of the mounting groove 211, the distance between the end face of the limiting rib 2115 that deviates from the inner wall of the mounting groove 211 and the center of the mounting groove 211 is the largest, thereby facilitating the limiting portion 222 to enter the mounting groove 211, improving the installation tolerance, and thus improving the installation efficiency. The end face of one end of the inner circumferential wall of the mounting groove 211 where the limiting rib 2115 deviates from is at the smallest distance from the center of the mounting groove 211, so that the end face of one end of the inner circumferential wall of the mounting groove 211 where the limiting rib 2115 deviates from is stopped against the outer circumferential wall of the limiting portion 222, thereby limiting the movement of the limiting portion 222 in the radial direction of the mounting groove 211, thereby improving the limiting effect of the limiting rib 2115 on the limiting portion 222, thereby improving the limiting effect on the lamp board body 22, and making the installation of the lamp board body 22 more stable.

[0073] In addition, since in the direction from top to bottom, the end surface of the limiting rib 2115 at one end of the inner peripheral wall of the installation groove 211 is inclined toward the direction away from the peripheral wall of the installation groove 211, the end surface of the limiting rib 2115 at one end of the inner peripheral wall of the installation groove 211 forms a guiding slope, thereby better facilitating the movement of the limiting portion 222 along the guiding slope toward the bottom wall of the installation groove 211, further improving the installation efficiency.

[0074] Among them, Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the limiting ribs 2115 are multiple and spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the mounting groove 211, thereby further improving the limiting effect of the limiting ribs 2115 on the limiting portion 222, thereby improving the limiting effect on the lamp board body 22, and making the installation of the lamp board body 22 more stable.

[0075] For example, Fig.10 and Fig.11 In the example shown, there are 8 limiting ribs 2115 , but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the limiting ribs 2115 may be other numbers, such as 4, 6, 10 or 12, etc.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the panel bracket 1 is provided with a mounting column 12 on one side facing the panel 3, and the light board assembly 2 is provided with a connecting portion 214, which is suitable for connecting with the mounting column 12 through fasteners such as bolts and nuts. Thus, the connection reliability between the light board assembly 2 and the panel bracket 1 is improved.

[0077] Among them, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple connecting parts 214 and correspondingly multiple mounting posts 12, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the light panel assembly 2 and the panel bracket 1. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the example shown, there are two connecting parts 214, which are respectively provided on the left and right side walls of the lamp panel assembly 2, and there are also two corresponding mounting columns 12. However, the utility model is not limited to this. There can be more connecting parts 214, and there can be more corresponding mounting columns 12, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a support plate 13 is provided on one side of the panel bracket 1 facing the panel 3, and the support plate 13 is located above the light board assembly 2. Thus, the structural saturation of the panel bracket 1 above the air outlet 11 is further increased, thereby increasing the structural strength of the panel bracket 1 above the air outlet 11, and also protecting the light board assembly 2.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the upper surface of the support plate 13 has a plurality of support ribs 134 spaced apart in the left-right direction, and each support rib 134 extends in the front-back direction, thereby improving the structural strength of the support plate 13, thereby further increasing the structural strength of the panel bracket 1 above the air outlet 11, thereby increasing the structural strength at the air outlet 11.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, part of the support plate 13 protrudes upward to form a protrusion 131, a wire groove 132 is formed between the protrusion 131 and the light board assembly 2, and a wire clamping hole 133 is provided on the protrusion 131. It can be understood that a light-emitting component is provided in the light board assembly 2, and the light-emitting component has a power line, one end of the power line is connected to the light-emitting component, and the other end is connected to the power supply, and the wire groove 132 is formed between the protrusion 131 and the light board assembly 2, so that there is enough space to accommodate and install the power line, and the setting of the wire clamping hole 133 allows the power line to pass through the support plate 13 and connect to the power supply, thereby realizing the conduction of the light-emitting component circuit and realizing the light emission of the light-emitting component.

[0081] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the front side of the wire clamping hole 133 is open, so that the power line can be easily installed in the wire clamping hole 133, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the upper edge of the air outlet 11 is provided with a flange 111 extending forward, and the surface of the light board assembly 2 facing the panel bracket 1 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 215, and the lower surface of the second limiting protrusion 215 is suitable for abutting against the upper surface of the flange 111. Therefore, by abutting against the lower surface of the second limiting protrusion 215 and the upper surface of the flange 111, the flange 111 can limit the second limiting protrusion 215 from moving downward, thereby limiting the downward movement of the light board assembly 2, and at the same time can support the light board assembly 2, thereby improving the installation reliability and stability of the light board assembly 2.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the lower surface of the lamp panel assembly 2 is flush with the lower surface of the flange 111. Thus, it is possible to avoid the formation of a step between the lower surface of the lamp panel assembly 2 and the lower surface of the flange 111 to block the flow of air, thereby making the gas flow smoother and improving the effect of air outlet.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, from back to front, at least one of the lower surface of the light panel assembly 2 and the lower surface of the flange 111 is inclined downward. It can be understood that at least part of the light panel assembly 2 is located above the air outlet 11, and from back to front, at least one of the lower surface of the light panel assembly 2 and the lower surface of the flange 111 is inclined downward, so as to facilitate the downward flow of gas, thereby improving the downward air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0085] For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the example shown, from back to front, the lower surface of the light panel assembly 2 and the lower surface of the flange 111 are both inclined downward, but the utility model is not limited to this. From back to front, only the lower surface of the light panel assembly 2 may be inclined downward, or only the lower surface of the flange 111 may be inclined downward.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the air outlet 11 is provided with an air outlet grille 112, which includes a plurality of grille bars 113 spaced apart in the up-down direction. From back to front, the uppermost grille bar 113 is spaced apart from the upper edge of the air outlet 11 and tilted downward.

[0087] It can be understood that the air outlet grille 112 is used to guide the direction of air flow, and there is a gap between the front side surface of the panel 3 and the front surface of the panel bracket 1 below the air outlet 11, thereby forming an air conditioning outlet 15, and the wind from the air outlet 11 flows out of the air conditioner 100 through the air conditioning outlet 15, and the uppermost grille bar 113 is located at the upper end of the air outlet 11 and above the air conditioning outlet 15. Therefore, from back to front, the uppermost grille bar 113 is spaced from the upper edge of the air outlet 11 and tilted downward, so that the gas from the upper end of the air outlet 11 can flow downward to the air conditioning outlet 15, thereby facilitating the air outlet of the air conditioner 100 and improving the air outlet effect.

[0088] Furthermore, the air conditioning vent 15 is arranged at the front side of the air outlet 11, the air outlet 11 is connected to the air conditioning vent 15, and the air conditioning vent 15 is connected to the external environment, so that the air outlet 11 is connected to the external environment through the air conditioning vent 15, so as to facilitate the air outlet of the air conditioner 100. At the same time, the light board assembly 2 emits light downward, and the light board assembly 2 is arranged above the air conditioning vent 15, so as to facilitate the light emitted by the light board assembly 2 to be emitted from the air conditioning vent 15 to the external environment.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the panel bracket 1 has a receiving groove 14, and the air outlet 11 is arranged on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 14. It can be understood that at least part of the notch of the receiving groove 14 is open to communicate with the external environment, so that the gas from the air outlet 11 can flow to the outside through the notch, thereby realizing the air outlet of the air conditioner 100. Among them, since at least part of the notch of the receiving groove 14 is open, dust and water can easily enter the receiving groove 14 through the notch. By arranging the air outlet 11 on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 14, the path for dust and water to reach the air outlet 11 can be increased, thereby reducing the probability of dust and water entering the air outlet 11, improving the waterproof and dustproof effect, and thus improving the service life of the air conditioner 100.

[0090] In addition, a support plate 13 is provided on the side of the panel bracket 1 facing the panel 3. The support plate 13 is located above the lamp board assembly 2. The support plate 13 is formed as the upper side wall of the accommodating groove 14. The lamp board assembly 2 is located in the accommodating groove 14, thereby facilitating the installation of the lamp board assembly 2.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, from back to front, the lower side wall of the receiving groove 14 is inclined downwards, thereby better guiding the gas to flow downwards, thereby improving the effect of the air conditioner discharging air downwards.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the front side of the panel 3 is flush with the front surface of the panel bracket 1 below the air outlet 11. Thus, dust and liquid can be reduced from entering the air outlet 11, the blocking effect is improved, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof effect and increasing the service life of the air conditioner 100.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the air outlet 11 is located at the lower end of the panel bracket 1. Therefore, it is convenient for the air conditioner 100 to discharge air downward, and the downward air discharge effect of the air conditioner 100 is improved.
