The decorative panels 45 are located below the air guide plate 44. An assembly gap 451 is provided between the upper side of the decorative panels 45 and the lower side of the air guide plate 44. The decorative panels 45 are installed on the left and right sides of the face frame 41 and between the side panels 43 and the front panel 42. The decorative panels 45 can play a certain supporting role on the side panels 43 and the front panel 42, enhance the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 4, and can play a shielding role on the structure between the side panels 43 and the front panel 42, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly 4.

[0070] An assembly gap 451 is provided between the upper side of the decorative panel 45 and the lower side of the air guide plate 44, so that a certain assembly error can be left between the decorative panel 45 and the air guide plate 44, making it easier to assemble the decorative panel 45 and the air guide plate 44 on the face frame 41; and, since the air guide plate 44 is rotatably disposed at the first air outlet 423, a certain assembly gap 451 is provided between the decorative panel 45 and the air guide plate 44, so that the air guide plate 44 or the decorative panel 45 can be prevented from colliding with the decorative panel 45 during rotation, thereby preventing the air guide plate 44 or the decorative panel 45 from being worn.

[0071] The shielding structure is used to shield the assembly gap 451, which can prevent dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the air conditioner through the assembly gap 451; it can also prevent the assembly gap 451 from being directly exposed to the outside, and can also effectively shield the internal structure of the air conditioner, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0072] Optionally, the front panel 42 includes an upper panel 421 and a lower panel 422 , the lower panel 422 is located below the upper panel 421 and is spaced apart from the upper panel 421 , and a second air outlet 424 is defined between the lower panel 422 and the upper panel 421 .

[0073] According to the panel assembly 4 of the embodiment of the utility model, a shielding structure is provided between the air guide plate 44 and the decorative plate 45, so that the assembly gap 451 between the upper side of the decorative plate 45 and the lower side of the air guide plate 44 can be shielded, thereby reducing dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the air conditioner through the assembly gap 451 and shielding the internal structure.

[0074] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5According to some embodiments of the utility model, the shielding structure includes a first shielding sheet 445 and a second shielding sheet 415 located on the inner sides of the air guide plate 44 and the decorative plate 45. The first shielding sheet 445 is arranged at the lower end of the air guide plate 44, and the second shielding sheet 415 is arranged on the face frame 41. When the air guide plate 44 is in a position to close the first air outlet 423, the first shielding sheet 445 and the second shielding sheet 415 are arranged along the extension direction of the assembly gap 451. The first shielding piece 445 is arranged at the lower end of the air guide plate 44. When the air guide plate 44 is in the position of closing the first air outlet 423, the first shielding piece 445 and the second shielding piece 415 are arranged along the extension direction of the assembly gap 451. Through the cooperation of the first shielding piece 445 and the second shielding piece 415, the shielding area of ​​the assembly gap 451 can be increased, so that the assembly gap 451 can be effectively shielded, and the assembly gap 451 between the air guide plate 44 and the decorative panel 45 is prevented from being directly exposed to the outside, and the possibility of dust or other impurities entering the interior of the air conditioner through the assembly gap 451 is reduced, thereby playing a shielding role on the internal structure of the panel assembly 4 and improving the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly 4.

[0075] When the panel assembly 4 is installed on the air conditioner, the inner side of the air guide plate 44 refers to the side of the air guide plate 44 facing the inside of the air conditioner, and the inner side of the decorative plate 45 refers to the side of the decorative plate 45 facing the inside of the air conditioner.

[0076] Reference Figure 5 , Fig. 20 and Fig.21 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide plate 44 has a first end 441 and a second end 442 that are relatively arranged, and the first end 441 is adjacent to the side panel 43. The second end 442 of the air guide plate 44 is moved away from or close to the front panel 42 to open or close the first air outlet 423. When the second end 442 of the air guide plate 44 moves from a direction away from the front panel 42 toward a direction close to the front panel 42, the first air outlet 423 can be switched from an open state to a closed state, thereby reducing or preventing air from flowing out of the first air outlet 423; when the second end 442 of the air guide plate 44 moves from a direction close to the front panel 42 toward a direction away from the front panel 42, the first air outlet 423 can be switched from a closed state to an open state, thereby allowing air to flow out from the first air outlet 423. By rotating the air guide plate 44 to move the second end 442 of the air guide plate 44 away from or close to the front panel 42, the first air outlet 423 can be easily opened and closed, and the distance between the second end 442 of the air guide plate 44 and the front panel 42 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby adjusting the direction of the airflow flowing out through the first air outlet 423 to meet different usage requirements.

[0077] Among them, when the air guide plate 44 is in the position of closing the first air outlet 423, the first shielding piece 445 is located on the side of the second shielding piece 415 adjacent to the side panel 43. Since the first shielding piece 445 and the second shielding piece 415 are arranged along the extension direction of the assembly gap 451, the second shielding piece 415 can be located on the side of the first shielding piece 445 away from the side panel 43. When the air guide plate 44 rotates from the position of closing the first air outlet 423 to the position of opening the first air outlet 423, the second shielding piece 415 is located on the side of the first shielding piece 445 away from the side panel 43. Therefore, the possibility of interference between the second shielding piece 415 and the decorative panel 45 during the rotation of the air guide plate 44 can be reduced.

[0078] Reference Fig. 20 and Fig.21 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first shielding sheet 445 and the air guide plate 44 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the first shielding sheet 445 and the air guide plate 44 and eliminate the assembly process between the first shielding sheet 445 and the air guide plate 44.

[0079] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second shielding piece 415 and the face frame 41 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the second shielding piece 415 and the face frame 41 and eliminate the assembly process between the second shielding piece 415 and the face frame 41.

[0080] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.21 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the first shielding sheet 445 and the air guide plate 44 are integrally formed, and the second shielding sheet 415 and the face frame 41 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the first shielding sheet 445 and the air guide plate 44, and eliminate the assembly process between the first shielding sheet 445 and the air guide plate 44; and, can improve the overall structural strength of the second shielding sheet 415 and the face frame 41, and eliminate the assembly process between the second shielding sheet 415 and the face frame 41.

[0081] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10According to some embodiments of the utility model, an air guide channel 411 connected to the first air outlet 423 is formed in the face frame 41, an air outlet grille 412 is provided in the air guide channel 411, and a second shielding piece 415 is connected to the lower end of the air outlet grille 412 and the second shielding piece 415 is connected to the air guide channel 411. The air guide channel 411 can guide the airflow. The air guide channel 411 is connected to the first air outlet 423 through the air guide channel 411. The air guide channel 411 can guide the airflow in the air guide channel 411 to the first air outlet 423, so that the airflow at the first air outlet 423 is smoother. The air outlet grille 412 can improve the structural strength of the face frame 41 located in the air guide channel 411, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the panel assembly 4.

[0082] The second shielding piece 415 is connected to the lower end of the air outlet grille 412 and the second shielding piece 415 is connected to the air guide channel 411, which can shield the airflow flowing from the air guide channel 411 to the lower end of the air outlet grille 412, thereby reducing the possibility of the airflow flowing out through the assembly gap 451 between the air guide plate 44 and the decorative plate 45, allowing more airflow to flow out through the air outlet grille 412, thereby enhancing the air outlet effect of the air outlet grille 412.

[0083] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of the utility model, a first folded edge portion 431 is formed at one end of the side panel 43 adjacent to the corresponding air guide plate 44, and is bent inward. The first folded edge portion 431 is located at the first air outlet 423. A second folded edge portion 443 that cooperates with the first folded edge portion 431 is formed at one end of the side panel 43 adjacent to the corresponding air guide plate 44. There is an escape gap 432 between the second folded edge portion 443 and the face frame 41, and the first folded edge portion 431 blocks the escape gap 432. The first folded edge portion 431 can enhance the overall structural strength of the side panel 43, and the second folded edge portion 443 can enhance the overall structural strength of the air guide plate 44. Since the air guide plate 44 is rotatably disposed at the first air outlet 423, the escape gap 432 is provided between the second folded edge portion 443 and the face frame 41, which can facilitate the rotation of the air guide plate 44 and prevent the air guide plate 44 from interfering with the face frame 41 during the rotation process.

[0084] By cooperating with the first folded edge portion 431 and the second folded edge portion 443, the possibility of dust and other impurities entering the interior of the air conditioner through the avoidance gap 432 can be reduced; by the shielding effect of the first folded edge portion 431 on the avoidance gap 432, the internal structure of the face frame 41 can be avoided from being directly exposed to the outside, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0085] For example, when the air guide plate 44 opens and closes the first air outlet 423, the first folded edge portion 431 and the second folded edge portion 443 both block the avoidance gap 432, which can effectively reduce the possibility of dust and other impurities entering the air conditioner through the avoidance gap 432, and can also block the airflow flowing to the avoidance gap 432, thereby reducing the possibility of the airflow flowing out through the avoidance gap 432.

[0086] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of the utility model, a third folding portion 433 bent inward is formed at one end of the side panel 43 adjacent to the corresponding decorative panel 45, and the third folding portion 433 is located below the first folding portion 431. A fourth folding portion 452 matched with the third folding portion 433 is formed at one end of the decorative panel 45 adjacent to the corresponding side panel 43. The third folding portion 433 can enhance the overall structural strength of the side panel 43, and the fourth folding portion 452 can enhance the overall structural strength of the decorative panel 45. Through the cooperation between the third folding portion 433 and the fourth folding portion 452, the possibility of dust and other impurities entering the interior of the air conditioner through the gap between the decorative panel 45 and the side panel 43 can be reduced, and the structure inside the face frame 41 can be shielded, which can improve the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly 4.

[0087] Reference Fig.21 and Fig. 27 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the air guide plate 44 is formed with a diffuser hole 444 that penetrates the air guide plate 44 along the thickness direction of the air guide plate 44, and the decorative plate 45 is formed with a decorative hole 453, and the decorative hole 453 is a blind hole. The air guide plate 44 is formed with a diffuser hole 444 that penetrates along the thickness direction thereof, so that the airflow can flow out through the diffuser hole 444, and the flow area of ​​the airflow can be increased. On the basis that the airflow flows out through the space between the air guide plate 44 and the face frame 41, the air guide plate 44 is formed with the diffuser hole 444, so that the airflow can also flow out from the diffuser hole 444 of the air guide plate 44, so that the airflow at the first air outlet 423 flows more smoothly, and the flow effect of the airflow at the first air outlet 423 can be enhanced.

[0088] A decorative hole 453 is formed on the decorative panel 45 and the decorative hole 453 is a blind hole. The decorative hole 453 can beautify the appearance of the decorative panel 45. For example, the decorative hole 453 can be made the same shape as the air dispersion hole 444, which can enhance the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly 4, prevent airflow from flowing out through the decorative hole 453, and prevent impurities such as dust from entering the interior of the decorative panel 45 through the decorative hole 453.

[0089] For example, the cross-sections of the decoration hole 453 and the air diffusion hole 444 are both circular.

[0090] Optionally, the wind dispersion hole 444 includes a first hole segment 448 and a second hole segment 449 which are arranged along the thickness direction of the air guide plate 44. The first hole segment 448 passes through the inner surface of the air guide plate 44, and the second hole segment 449 passes through the outer surface of the air guide plate 44. In the direction from the inner surface of the air guide plate 44 to the outer surface of the air guide plate 44, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first hole segment 448 gradually decreases, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second hole segment 449 gradually decreases; in the direction from the inner surface of the decorative plate 45 to the outer surface of the decorative plate 45, the cross-sectional area of ​​the decorative hole 453 gradually increases.

[0091] When the panel assembly 4 is installed in the air conditioner, the inner surface of the air guide plate 44 is the surface that directs the air guide plate 44 toward the inside of the air conditioner.

[0092] Reference Fig. 22 and Fig.28 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the figure obtained by the intersection of the air dispersion hole 444 and the outer surface of the air guide plate 44 is a first figure, and the figure obtained by the intersection of the decorative hole 453 and the outer surface of the decorative plate 45 is a second figure. The second figure is congruent with the first figure, so that the shape of the air dispersion hole 444 presented on the outer surface of the air guide plate 44 can be the same as the shape of the decorative hole 453 presented on the outer surface of the decorative plate 45, so that the appearance of the air dispersion hole 444 and the decorative hole 453 are the same, which is beneficial to improving the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly 4.

[0093] For example, the first figure and the second figure are both circles.

[0094] Optionally, the air dispersion hole 444 includes a first hole segment 448 and a second hole segment 449 which are arranged along the thickness direction of the air guide plate 44, the first hole segment 448 passes through the inner surface of the air guide plate 44, and the second hole segment 449 passes through the outer surface of the air guide plate 44, in the direction from the inner surface of the air guide plate 44 to the outer surface of the air guide plate 44, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first hole segment 448 gradually decreases, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second hole segment 449 gradually decreases; in the direction from the inner surface of the decorative plate 45 to the outer surface of the decorative plate 45, the cross-sectional area of ​​the decorative hole 453 gradually increases, the cross-sectional area of ​​the decorative hole 453 and the air dispersion hole 444 are both circular, the maximum diameter w2 of the decorative hole 453 is the same as the maximum diameter w1 of the air dispersion hole 444, and the minimum diameter w4 of the decorative hole 453 is the same as the minimum diameter w3 of the air dispersion hole 444.

[0095] When the panel assembly 4 is installed on the air conditioner, the inner surface of the air guide plate 44 is the surface that directs the air guide plate 44 toward the internal structure of the air conditioner, and the outer surface of the air guide plate 44 is the surface that directs the air guide plate 44 away from the internal structure of the air conditioner.

[0096] Reference Fig.24 and Fig.25According to some embodiments of the present invention, a water receiving flange 454 is provided on the top of the decorative plate 45, and the water receiving flange 454 can enhance the overall structural strength of the decorative plate 45. The water receiving flange 454 extends toward the inner side of the decorative plate 45 and is located below the assembly gap 451, and can receive water falling from above the decorative plate 45. For example, condensed water on the air guide plate 44 can fall downward onto the water receiving flange 454, and the received water can be drained to the inner side of the decorative plate 45, reducing the possibility of water flowing to the outer side of the decorative plate 45 and directly flowing to the ground.

[0097] For example, when the panel assembly 4 is installed on the air conditioner, the air conditioner includes a base 3, and the decorative panel 45 is arranged above the base 3. The base 3 is provided with a water receiving tray, which can collect and discharge water. A water guide hole 455 is formed on the water receiving flange 454 and penetrates the water receiving flange 454 in the up and down directions. The water received by the water receiving flange 454 can be directly dropped into the water receiving tray of the base 3 through the water guide hole 455 in the up and down directions, which is convenient for subsequent drainage.

A drainage notch 457 is defined between the circumferential ends of the water retaining rib 456, and the drainage notch 457 is located on the inner side of the water receiving flange 454. The water retaining rib 456 can enhance the structural strength of the water receiving flange 454, and the water retaining rib 456 extending along the circumference of the water receiving flange 454 can increase the circumferential height of the water receiving flange 454, and can reduce the distance between the water receiving flange 454 and the assembly gap 451, effectively receiving water falling from the top of the decorative plate 45, and can reduce the possibility of water flowing over the edge of the water receiving flange 454 to the outside of the decorative plate 45 and flowing to the ground. By defining a drainage gap 457 between the circumferential ends of the water-retaining rib 456, accumulated water on the water-receiving flange 454 can be quickly discharged through the drainage gap 457; and since the drainage gap 457 is located on the inner side of the water-receiving flange 454, the water received by the water-receiving flange 454 can flow to the inner side of the decorative panel 45 through the drainage gap 457, thereby preventing the water from flowing to the ground through the outer side of the decorative panel 45.

[0099] When the panel assembly 4 is used in an air conditioner, the inner side of the water receiving flange 454 refers to the side of the water receiving flange 454 facing the inside of the air conditioner.
