[0038] 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 intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] Please refer to the following Figure 1-12 A panel supporting structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the panel support structure 100 includes: a face frame 10 , a panel 20 and a support member 30 .

[0041] Specifically, the panel 20 is rotatably connected to the face frame 10; the support member 30 has a first end 31 and a second end 32, the first end 31 is rotatably connected to the face frame 10, and the second end 32 is suitable for supporting the panel 20. The number of the support members 30 is multiple, that is, the number of the support members 30 can be two, three or four or more, and the multiple support members 30 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the face frame 10, wherein one of the support member 30 and the face frame 10 is provided with a limiting column 11 and the other is provided with a limiting groove 311, that is, the support member 30 can be provided with a limiting column 11 and the face frame 10 can be provided with a limiting groove 311, or the face frame 10 can be provided with a limiting column 11 and the support member 30 can be provided with a limiting groove 311, the support member 30 rotates to the supporting position, and the limiting column 11 cooperates and is fixed in the limiting groove 311 to limit the rotation of the support member 30.

[0042] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the support member 30 connected to the face frame 10 is the first end 31, and the end of the support member 30 supporting the panel 20 is the second end 32. There are two support members 30, and the two support members 30 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction, and the two support members 30 support the left and right sides of the panel 20 respectively. A limiting groove 311 is provided at the first end 31 of the support member 30, and a limiting column 11 is provided on the face frame 10.

[0043] When using the support members 30 to support the panel 20, first rotate one of the support members 30 to the supporting position, the second end 32 of the support member 30 is supported on the panel 20, and the limiting column 11 is engaged in the limiting groove 311 of the first end 31 of the support member 30, and then repeat the above steps for the remaining support members 30 so that the second end 32 of the support member 30 is supported on the panel 20. At this time, the work of the support member 30 supporting the panel 20 is completed, so that the inside of the air conditioner 1000 can be cleaned or repaired.

[0044] The panel support structure 100 of the utility model is provided with a limit column 11. When the support member 30 rotates to the supporting position, the limit column 11 cooperates with the limit groove 311 to prevent the support member 30 from rotating. Even if the panel 20 is lifted, the support member 30 will not be separated from the panel 20 and then rotated. Therefore, when the air conditioner 1000 is cleaned or repaired, the stability of the support member 30 supporting the panel 20 can be guaranteed. At the same time, when the remaining support members 30 support the panel 20, the support member 30 that is already in the supporting position will not be separated from the panel 20, so that the remaining support members 30 can support the panel 20 conveniently, thereby ensuring the reliability of the support member 30 supporting the panel 20.

[0045] Furthermore, multiple support members 30 are provided to support the panel 20 , which can provide multiple support points for the panel 20 , thereby effectively preventing the panel 20 and the face frame 10 from rotating relative to each other, thereby facilitating cleaning or maintenance of the interior of the air conditioner 1000 .

[0046] According to the panel support structure 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, a limit column 11 is provided, and the limit column 11 cooperates with the limit groove 311 to prevent the support member 30 from rotating, thereby ensuring the stability of the support member 30 supporting the panel 20. At the same time, it can facilitate the other support members 30 to support the panel 20, thereby ensuring the reliability of the support member 30 supporting the panel 20.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limiting column 11 and the limiting groove 311 are interference fit. It should be noted that the interference fit is based on the interference value between the shaft and the hole. After assembly, elastic pressure is generated between the surfaces of the parts to obtain a tight connection. Therefore, the interference fit can ensure the stability of the matching between the limiting column 11 and the limiting groove 311, thereby effectively preventing the support member 30 from rotating.

[0048] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , at least one of the limiting column 11 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 311 can be elastically deformed, that is, the limiting column 11 can be elastically deformed, the groove wall of the limiting groove 311 can be elastically deformed, or both the limiting column 11 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 311 can be elastically deformed. Therefore, during the matching process between the limiting groove 311 of the support member 30 and the limiting column 11, at least one of the limiting column 11 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 311 can be elastically deformed, and when the limiting column 11 abuts against the groove arm of the limiting groove 311, it can be ensured that the limiting column 11 can be interference-fitted with the limiting groove 311, thereby effectively preventing the limiting column 11 from detaching from the limiting groove 311, and further effectively preventing the support member 30 from rotating.

[0049] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Fig.11 and Fig.12 The limiting groove 311 is formed on the support member 30, and the limiting groove 311 is recessed from the end surface of the first end 31 toward the second end 32, and the limiting groove 311 penetrates the support member 30 along the thickness direction of the support member 30. Therefore, the setting form of the limiting groove 311 is reasonable, which facilitates the cooperation between the limiting column 11 and the limiting groove 311. At the same time, the limiting groove 311 has a simple structure and is convenient for processing, thereby effectively improving the processing efficiency of the support member 30.

[0050] For example, Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the limiting groove 311 extends from the end surface of the first end 31 toward the second end 32 , and the limiting groove 311 penetrates the supporting member 30 along the thickness direction of the supporting member 30 .

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Fig.11 and Fig.12 The first end 31 is provided with a rotating shaft 312, and the face frame 10 is provided with an axial hole, and the rotating shaft 312 is matched in the axial hole. Therefore, the matching form of the rotating shaft 312 and the axial hole is simple in structure and convenient for processing, and at the same time, it can also ensure that the support member 30 can rotate normally relative to the face frame 10.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the face frame 10 is provided with mounting grooves 12, and the number of mounting grooves 12 corresponds to the number of supporting members 30, and the supporting members 30 are suitable for being received in the mounting grooves 12. Therefore, the mounting grooves 12 can provide a receiving space for the supporting members 30, and when the panel 20 is engaged with the face frame 10, the supporting members 30 are in the mounting grooves 12, thereby preventing the supporting members 30 from affecting the engagement of the panel 20 with the face frame 10, and at the same time, ensuring the rationality of the layout of the air conditioner 1000, and improving the aesthetics of the interior of the air conditioner 1000.

[0053] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting groove 12 extends in the up-down direction, two mounting grooves 12 are arranged, and the two mounting grooves 12 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. A support member 30 is disposed in each mounting groove 12 .

[0054] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7The limiting column 11 is formed on the face frame 10, and the limiting column 11 is arranged on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 12 and extends toward the opening of the mounting groove 12, and one end of the limiting column 11 facing the opening of the mounting groove 12 extends out of the mounting groove 12. Therefore, the setting position of the limiting column 11 is reasonable, so as not to affect the matching between the panel 20 and the face frame 10, and at the same time, the limiting column 11 is arranged on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 12, which can reduce the space occupied by the limiting column 11.

[0055] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the limiting column 11 extends in the front-to-back direction, the rear end of the limiting column 11 is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 12 , the front end of the limiting column 11 extends forward, and the front end of the limiting column 11 is higher than the front side surface of the face frame 10 .

[0056] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the cross-sectional area of ​​the free end of the limiting column 11 gradually decreases in the direction from the fixed end to the free end of the limiting column 11. Thus, the free end of the limiting column 11 can provide a rotation guide for the support member 30, thereby ensuring that the limiting column 11 can normally be interference-fitted with the limiting groove 311.

[0057] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the front-to-back direction, the front end of the limiting column 11 is formed into a tapered shape with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Fig.11 and Fig.12 , the cross-sectional area of ​​the second end 32 gradually decreases in the direction from the first end 31 toward the second end 32. Thus, the second end 32 can be easily matched with the panel 20, thereby saving the matching time of the support member 30 and the panel 20 and effectively improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Fig.11 The panel 20 is provided with a limiting hole 21, and the second end 32 is suitable for being inserted into the limiting hole 21. Therefore, the limiting hole 21 can limit the second end 32, thereby effectively preventing the second end 32 from being separated from the limiting hole 21, and further ensuring the stability of the support member 30 supporting the panel 20. For example, Figure 3 and Fig.11 As shown, a limiting hole 21 is provided on the panel 20 at a position corresponding to the second end 32 .

[0060] The air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present utility model comprises the panel supporting structure 100 according to the first aspect of the present embodiment.
