[0051] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 A panel bracket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the panel bracket 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a bracket body 1 and a crossbeam 2.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, combined Fig. 9The panel bracket 100 is used for the air conditioner 200. Both ends of the bracket body 1 in the width direction are provided with first air outlets 11. The air processed by the air conditioner 200 is blown out from the first air outlets 11 at both ends of the bracket body 1 in the width direction. The first air outlets 11 extend along the length direction of the bracket body 1, which can expand the air supply range of the air conditioner 200. Furthermore, a louver and an air guide plate can be provided at the first air outlet 11. The louver and the air guide plate are rotatably provided at the first air outlet 11. The louver is used to guide the air flow to flow in different directions at the first air outlet 11. The air guide plate is used to open or close the first air outlet 11, thereby completing the air supply function of the air conditioner 200 at different angles.

[0054] The bracket body 1 has a mounting plate 12 located between the two first air outlets 11, and the crossbeam 2 is arranged on the front side of the mounting plate 12, so as to avoid interference between the crossbeam 2 and other components located on the rear side of the mounting plate 12. The crossbeam 2 extends along the width direction of the bracket body 1, and the length direction and width direction of the bracket body 1 are perpendicular to the front-to-back direction. The crossbeam 2 can enhance the structural strength of the mounting plate 12, so that the mounting plate 12 can withstand a greater load, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the bracket body 1. The mounting plate 12 can be effectively prevented from deforming, thereby preventing the first air outlet 11 from deforming, and the normal operation of the first air outlet 11 such as the louver and the air guide plate can be ensured, as well as the air supply performance of the first air outlet 11, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the panel bracket 100 and the air conditioner 200 using it.

[0055] Optionally, the bracket body 1 and the cross beam 2 are integrally formed, thereby simplifying the assembly process between the bracket body 1 and the cross beam 2, improving production efficiency, and better ensuring the structural strength of the panel bracket 100.

[0056] According to the panel bracket 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging the crossbeam 2 extending along the width direction of the bracket body 1 on the front side of the mounting plate 12 located between the two first air outlets 11, the structural strength of the mounting plate 12 can be enhanced, so that the mounting plate 12 can bear a larger load, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the bracket body 1. At the same time, the bracket body 1 can be effectively prevented from being deformed, thereby preventing the first air outlet 11 from being deformed and ensuring the air supply performance of the first air outlet 11, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the panel bracket 100 and the air conditioner 200 using the same.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the cross beams 2 are multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the bracket body 1. Multiple cross beams 2 provide a better support effect, can further enhance the structural strength of the bracket body 1, and are conducive to improving the durability and service life of the panel bracket 100, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the panel bracket 100. Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the example shown, there are two cross beams 2. Of course, there may also be three or four cross beams 2. In the specific implementation process, the number of cross beams 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions, and the present invention does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the bracket body 1, the middle portion of the front surface of the mounting plate 12 protrudes backwards, and the middle portion of the crossbeam 2 protrudes backwards and is connected to the mounting plate 12. Figure 4 In the example shown, the mounting plate 12 and the crossbeam 2 may be V-shaped in a cross section perpendicular to the length direction of the bracket body 1. The middle parts of the mounting plate 12 and the crossbeam 2 protrude backwards, which can improve the structural strength of the mounting plate 12 and the crossbeam 2, and help improve the load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the panel bracket 100. At the same time, the middle parts of the mounting plate 12 and the crossbeam 2 protrude backwards, which can also provide a larger installation space for the front side of the mounting plate 12, facilitate the installation of other components on the front side of the mounting plate 12, and help form a compact and reasonable structural layout.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cross beam 2 includes a first plate 21 and a second plate 22. The first plate 21 extends along the width direction of the bracket body 1. One end of the first plate 21 in the width direction is connected to the front surface of the mounting plate 12, and the other end of the first plate 21 in the width direction extends forward. The second plate 22 extends along the width direction of the bracket body 1. One end of the second plate 22 in the width direction is connected to one end of the first plate 21 away from the mounting plate 12, and the other end extends along the length direction of the bracket body 1. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 can be formed into an L shape. The cross beam 2 is divided into the first plate 21 and the second plate 22, which can enhance the structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the cross beam 2, thereby improving the structural stability of the panel bracket 100, and simplifying the structure and processing technology of the cross beam 2.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cross beam 2 further includes a reinforcing rib 23, which is disposed between the second plate body 22 and the mounting plate 12, and the reinforcing rib 23 is connected to the first plate body 21, the second plate body 22 and the mounting plate 12. The reinforcing rib 23 can provide additional support between the first plate body 21, the second plate body 22 and the mounting plate 12, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the cross beam 2, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the panel bracket 100, improving the stability and durability of the panel bracket 100, and extending its service life.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcing ribs 23 are arranged in a plurality of intervals along the length direction of the second plate body 22. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 are arranged in an interval along the length direction of the second plate body 22, so that the reinforcing ribs 23 can form multi-point support for the first plate body 21, the second plate body 22 and the mounting plate 12, which can more effectively disperse the stress generated by the cross beam 2 due to the external force, and improve the bending resistance of the cross beam 2. Thereby, the structural strength of the cross beam 2 and the bracket body 1 is further enhanced, which is conducive to improving the durability and service life of the panel bracket 100, and further can enhance the stability and reliability of the panel bracket 100. In addition, in the specific implementation process, the number of reinforcing ribs 23 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions, and the utility model does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the length direction of the bracket body 1 is the up-down direction, and the width direction is the left-right direction. The end of the second plate body 22 that is away from the first plate body 21 extends upward, and the upper end of the reinforcing rib 23 is lower than the upper end of the second plate body 22. The first plate body 21, the second plate body 22 and the mounting plate 12 can form a water storage tank 28, which can receive the condensed water flowing down from the side wall of the mounting plate 12 close to the crossbeam 2, and prevent the components located below the crossbeam 2 from entering with water. The multiple reinforcing ribs 23 can separate the water storage tank 28 into multiple water storage units 281, and at the same time, the upper end of the reinforcing rib 23 is lower than the upper end of the second plate body 22, so that the water in a certain water storage unit 281 can overflow to the water storage units 281 on its left and right sides after being filled, which can prevent water from overflowing from one side of the second plate body 22, thereby ensuring the waterproof effect of the components located below the crossbeam 2, and improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner 200.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first plate body 21 is provided with a leak hole 211 penetrating the first plate body 21 in the up-down direction. The leak hole 211 can timely discharge the accumulated water in the water tank 28, preventing the water in the water tank 28 from overflowing from one side of the second plate body 22 when it is full, thereby ensuring the waterproof effect of the components located below the crossbeam 2. In addition, the water in the water tank 28 is discharged from the leak hole 211, which is also convenient for management. For example, a drain pipe can be connected below the leak hole 211 to drain the water in the water tank 28 to a designated area, further improving the waterproof effect of the components located below the crossbeam 2, and improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner 200.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the front side of the mounting plate 12 is suitable for setting a louver drive box 3, which is arranged below the cross beam 2 and in the middle of the mounting plate 12 along the left-right direction, and the water leakage hole 211 is arranged at least at one of the two ends in the length direction of the first plate body 21. A louver drive motor may be arranged in the louver drive box 3 to drive the louvers to rotate at the first air outlet 11. Condensate water flowing down the side wall of the mounting plate 12 close to the cross beam 2 can flow into the water storage tank 28 formed by the first plate body 21, the second plate body 22 and the mounting plate 12, which can prevent water from entering the louver drive box 3 located below the cross beam 2. Figure 4 In the example shown, there are two leakage holes 211, and the two leakage holes 211 are located at the two ends of the length direction of the first plate body 21. The water in the water storage tank 28 can flow out from the leakage holes 211 and flow down from the two ends of the mounting plate 12 along the left and right directions, and can avoid the shutter drive box 3 located in the middle part of the mounting plate 12 along the left and right directions, thereby ensuring the waterproof effect of the shutter drive box 3 and improving the safety of components in the shutter drive box 3 such as the shutter drive motor.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the height difference between the upper end of the reinforcing rib 23 and the upper end of the second plate body 22 is a, and a is greater than or equal to 3 mm. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 can separate the water storage tank 28 formed by the first plate body 21, the second plate body 22 and the mounting plate 12 into a plurality of water storage units 281, and a is greater than or equal to 3 mm, which can ensure that the water in a certain water storage unit 281 overflows to the water storage units 281 on the left and right sides thereof after the water is full, thereby preventing water from overflowing from one side of the second plate body 22 and flowing down, thereby ensuring the waterproof effect of the components located below the crossbeam 2, and improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner 200.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the length direction of the bracket body 1, the distance between the surface of the first plate body 21 away from the second plate body 22 and the end face of the second plate body 22 away from the first plate body 21 is b, and b is 6-25mm. If b is less than 6mm, the water storage tank 28 cannot be guaranteed to accommodate the condensed water flowing down from the mounting plate 12, thereby failing to ensure the waterproof effect of the components located below the crossbeam 2. If b is greater than 25mm, the space occupancy rate of the crossbeam 2 is too high, which may interfere with other components. Limiting b to between 6-25mm can ensure that there is enough space in the water storage tank 28 to accommodate the condensed water flowing down from the mounting plate 12, thereby ensuring the waterproof effect of the components located below the crossbeam 2 and improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner 200. At the same time, it can prevent the space occupancy rate of the crossbeam 2 from being too large, which is beneficial to the layout of other components, thereby ensuring the compactness of the structure.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the distance between the second plate body 22 and the mounting plate 12 is c, and c is 4-15 mm. If c is less than 4 mm, the water tank 28 cannot be guaranteed to accommodate the condensed water flowing down from the mounting plate 12, thereby failing to ensure the waterproof effect of the components located below the crossbeam 2. If c is greater than 15 mm, the space occupancy rate of the crossbeam 2 is too high, which may interfere with other components. Limiting c to between 4-15 mm can ensure that there is enough space in the water tank 28 to accommodate the condensed water flowing down from the mounting plate 12, thereby ensuring the waterproof effect of the components located below the crossbeam 2 and improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner 200. At the same time, it can prevent the space occupancy rate of the crossbeam 2 from being too large, which is beneficial to the layout of other components, thereby ensuring the compactness of the structure.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the front side of the mounting plate 12 is suitable for arranging the shutter drive box 3, the shutter drive box 3 has a mounting ear 31, the front surface of the crossbeam 2 has a groove 24, and the mounting ear 31 is located in the groove 24. The mounting ear 31 can be arranged at least at one of the two ends of the shutter drive box 3 along the length direction of the bracket body 1. The groove 24 can limit the mounting ear 31, which is convenient for the operator to complete the installation of the shutter drive box 3, reduce the difficulty of operation, and thus improve the assembly efficiency.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a screw column 241 is provided on the bottom wall of the groove 24, and the screw column 241 is connected to the mounting ear 31 by a fastener. A fixing hole 242 extending along the axial direction of the screw column 241 is provided in the screw column 241, and an internal thread may be provided in the fixing hole 242. The mounting ear 31 may be provided with a mounting hole 311 penetrating the mounting ear 31 along the thickness direction. During assembly, the operator may pass a fastener matching the screw column 241 through the mounting hole 311 on the mounting ear 31 and screw the fastener into the fixing hole 242 in the screw column 241 through the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread, thereby completing the fixing of the shutter drive box 3 and the panel bracket 100.

[0070] By providing the mounting ears 31 and the screw columns 241, it is easy to process the mounting holes 311 and the fixing holes 242, so that it is convenient for operators to use fasteners for assembly. In addition, the operators can easily install by fasteners, and the fasteners can achieve a stable connection between the shutter drive box 3 and the panel bracket 100, which can prevent the shutter drive box 3 from falling off due to external forces, and help enhance the structural stability and reliability of the shutter drive box 3 and the panel bracket 100. At the same time, the fastener connection can also achieve the detachability of the shutter drive box 3 and the panel bracket 100, which is convenient for later maintenance and can reduce maintenance costs.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the groove 24 passes through the crossbeam 2 along the length direction of the bracket body 1, so that the mounting ear 31 can be arranged in the groove 24 to avoid interference with the installation of the louver drive box 3. The two side walls of the groove 24 opposite to each other along the width direction of the bracket body 1 are inclined toward each other from front to back. The inclined side walls of the groove 24 can guide the mounting ear 31. When the operator installs the louver drive box 3, if the mounting ear 31 is not aligned with the groove 24, the inclined side walls can guide the mounting ear 31 into the groove 24, without the operator having to align accurately, reducing the difficulty of operation, and facilitating the operator to install the louver drive box 3, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the front surface of the crossbeam 2 is provided with a wire clip 25 for clipping wires, and the wire clip 25 is located in the middle of the crossbeam 2 along the width direction of the bracket body 1. The wire clip 25 can facilitate the routing and fixing of wires of components such as the blind drive motor in the blind drive box 3, making the layout of wires on the panel bracket 100 neater, easier to manage and maintain, and reducing possible faults caused by messy or pulled wires, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the panel bracket 100 and the air conditioner 200.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the cross beam 2 in the length direction have first through holes 26, and the first through holes 26 penetrate the cross beam 2 along the length direction of the bracket body 1. The first through holes 26 are used to fix and install components such as the grille 8, provide convenience for the installation of other components and the panel bracket 100, and can expand the use and function of the cross beam 2. Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the example shown, a grille 8 is provided at the first air outlet 11, and a hook 81 is provided at one end of the grille 8 close to the mounting plate 12. The hook 81 can be inserted into the first through hole 26 to complete the connection between the grille 8 and the panel bracket 100, which is simple to operate and easy to assemble.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front surfaces of both ends of the crossbeam 2 in the length direction have second through holes 27, and the two second through holes 27 respectively penetrate the front side walls of the two first through holes 26. The second through holes 27 are used to fix and install other components, and provide convenience for the connection between other components and the panel bracket 100, which can expand the use and function of the crossbeam 2. For example, the second through holes 27 can be used to fix the panel 7 of the air conditioner 200.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the panel bracket 100 extends in the up-down direction, and the two first air outlets 11 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the panel bracket 100 in the left-right direction. In addition, the panel bracket 100 is also provided with a second air outlet 13 and a third air outlet 14.
