For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0049] The panel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0050] As Figures 1-6 shown, the panel assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a panel bracket 1.

[0051] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , both sides of the panel bracket 1 in the width direction are provided with first air outlets 11. The first air outlets 11 extend along the length direction of the panel bracket 1. 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 blow 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 left-right air blowing of the air conditioner 100. The left-right direction refers to the left and right directions of the user when the user is facing the air conditioner 100 directly. However, the present utility model is not limited to this. The width direction of the panel bracket 1 can also be other directions, such as the up-down direction, etc.

[0052] Furthermore, as Figures 2-6 shown, both ends of the mounting plate 14 in the width direction are provided with flanges 141 that are bent outward toward the outside of the first air outlet 11. The flanges 141 extend along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. It can be understood that, along the width direction of the panel bracket 1, since the mounting plate 14 is located between the two first air outlets 11, both ends of the mounting plate 14 in the width direction of the panel bracket 1 are respectively located at the edges of the two first air outlets 11. And the two flanges 141 are arranged at both ends of the mounting plate 14 in the width direction, so that the two flanges 141 are respectively located at the edges of the two first air outlets 11. Thus, the flanges 141 become the supporting members 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 blow air normally and be used normally.

[0053] Furthermore, as Figures 2-6 shown, a reinforcing rib 2 is provided on the side of the flange 141 facing away from the first air outlet 11 on the same side. The reinforcing rib 2 is arranged on the mounting plate 14 and is connected to the flange 141. Thus, the flange 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 together become the supporting members of the first air outlet 11, thereby further improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, thereby further reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can blow air normally and be used normally. Among them, since the reinforcing rib 2 is arranged on the side of the flange 141 facing away from the first air outlet 11 on the same side, the reinforcing rib 2 can be avoided from blocking the air outlet of the first air outlet 11, so that the air conditioner 100 blows air smoothly.

[0054] In addition, the flanging 141 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11, and the reinforcing rib 2 also extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. As a result, the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 can support the first air outlet 11 in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, thereby increasing the support range for the first air outlet 11, making the structural support of the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 at the first air outlet 11 reliable, 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 blow air normally and be used normally.

[0055] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, there are a plurality of reinforcing ribs 2 spaced apart along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. Thus, the arrangement of some connection structures can be avoided, and the weight and manufacturing cost of the reinforcing ribs 2 can also be reduced, which is beneficial to the economy and light weight of the air conditioner 100.

[0056] According to the panel assembly 10 of the present utility model, by providing flangings 141 that are bent outward toward the outside of the first air outlet 11 at both ends in the width direction of the mounting plate 14, and a reinforcing rib 2 is provided on the side of the flanging 141 facing away from the first air outlet 11 on the same side. The reinforcing rib 2 is provided on the mounting plate 14 and is connected to the flanging 141. As a result, the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 together become the support members of the first air outlet 11, and the flanging 141 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. Thus, the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 can support the first air outlet 11 in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, making the structural support of the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 at the first air outlet 11 reliable, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can blow air normally and be used normally.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 2-4 shown, the reinforcing rib 2 includes a vertical rib 21 and a connecting rib 22. The vertical rib 21 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11 and is spaced apart from the flanging 141 on the same side. The connecting rib 22 is provided between the flanging 141 and the vertical rib 21 on the same side and is connected to the vertical rib 21 at one end and the flanging 141 at the other end.

[0058] It can be understood that the vertical rib 21 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11, so that the vertical rib 21 has sufficient strength in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, thereby improving the structural support reliability of the reinforcing rib 2 at the first air outlet 11. The connecting rib 22 is arranged between the flanging 141 and the vertical rib 21 on the same side and is connected to the vertical rib 21 at one end and the flanging 141 at the other end, thereby improving the connection reliability between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141. At the same time, the integrity between the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 is also improved, thereby further improving the structural support reliability of the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 at the first air outlet 11.

[0059] At the same time, the combination of the vertical rib 21 and the connecting rib 22 can reduce the weight and manufacturing cost of the reinforcing rib 2 compared with the integral plate-type reinforcing rib 2, which is beneficial to the economy and light weight of the air conditioner 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting ribs 22 are multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the vertical rib 21. Thereby, while improving the structural strength of the reinforcing rib 2 itself, the connection reliability between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141 is further improved, thereby further improving the integrity between the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2, and further improving the structural support reliability of the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 at the first air outlet 11.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the multiple connecting ribs 22 include multiple first ribs 221 and multiple second ribs 222. The multiple first ribs 221 and the multiple second ribs 222 are alternately arranged along the length direction of the vertical rib 21. In the direction from the vertical rib 21 to the flanging 141 on the same side, the first ribs 221 and the second ribs 222 are inclined in opposite directions along the length direction of the vertical rib 21.

[0062] It can be understood that the arrangement of the first ribs 221 and the second ribs 222 in the above manner enables a triangular support structure to be formed between the first ribs 221 and the second ribs 222 and the vertical rib 21 or the flanging 141 in any adjacent group of the first ribs 221 and the second ribs 222. Since the triangle is relatively stable, the structure of the reinforcing rib 2 itself is not easily deformed, and the structural strength of the reinforcing rib 2 is improved. At the same time, the connection reliability between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141 is further improved, thereby further improving the integrity between the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2, and further improving the structural support reliability of the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 at the first air outlet 11.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, the minimum distance between adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222 along the length direction of the vertical rib 21 is greater than or equal to 1 mm; for example, the minimum distance between adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222 along the length direction of the vertical rib 21 is 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, etc.

[0064] It should be noted that, among a group of adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222, the distance between the end of the first rib 221 connected to the vertical rib 21 and the end of the second rib 222 connected to the vertical rib 21 is the minimum distance between adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222 along the length direction of the vertical rib 21; or, among a group of adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222, the distance between the end of the first rib 221 connected to the flange 141 and the end of the second rib 222 connected to the flange 141 is the minimum distance between adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222 along the length direction of the vertical rib 21.

[0065] It can be understood that the minimum distance between adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222 along the length direction of the vertical rib 21 is greater than or equal to 1 mm, making the minimum distance between adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222 along the length direction of the vertical rib 21 appropriate, thus avoiding the minimum distance between adjacent first ribs 221 and second ribs 222 along the length direction of the vertical rib 21 from being too small. Thus, it is possible to avoid the distance between the end of the first rib 221 connected to the flange 141 and the end of the second rib 222 connected to the flange 141 from being too small, or the distance between the end of the first rib 221 connected to the vertical rib 21 and the end of the second rib 222 connected to the vertical rib 21 from being too small, thereby avoiding the installation interference between one end of the first rib 221 and one end of the second rib 222, facilitating the process machining and improving the machining efficiency. It can also reduce the problem of overlapping connection solder caused by the installation interference between one end of the first rib 221 and one end of the second rib 222.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the included angle between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 is 25° - 65°, such as 25°, 45°, 55°, or 65°, etc. It can be understood that if the included angle between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 is less than 25°, the included angle between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 will be too small, which is not conducive to the connection process between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21; while if the included angle between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 is greater than 65°, the included angle between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 will be too large, so that within the same length range of the vertical rib 21, more first ribs 221 need to be provided, which is not conducive to cost and weight control. In addition, whether the included angle between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 is too large or too small, it will reduce the connection stability between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 and the flange 141.

[0067] Thus, the included angle between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 is 25° - 65°, so that the included angle between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 is appropriate, which is beneficial to both the connection process between the first rib 221 and the vertical rib 21 and the control of cost and weight. At the same time, the connection stability between the first rib 221, the vertical rib 21, and the flanging 141 is also ensured.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the included angle between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 is 25° - 65°. For example, 25°, 45°, 55°, or 65°, etc. It can be understood that if the included angle between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 is less than 25°, the included angle between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 will be too small, which is not conducive to the connection process between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21; while if the included angle between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 is greater than 65°, the included angle between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 will be too large, so that within the range of the vertical rib 21 of the same length, more second ribs 222 need to be provided, which is not conducive to the control of cost and weight. In addition, whether the included angle between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 is too large or too small, the connection stability between the second rib 222, the vertical rib 21, and the flanging 141 will be reduced.

[0069] Thus, the included angle between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 is 25° - 65°, so that the included angle between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 is appropriate, which is beneficial to both the connection process between the second rib 222 and the vertical rib 21 and the control of cost and weight. At the same time, the connection stability between the second rib 222, the vertical rib 21, and the flanging 141 is also ensured.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the distance between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141 is 4 mm - 25 mm. For example, the distance between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141 can be 4 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, or 25 mm, etc. It can be understood that if the distance between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141 is less than 4 mm, the structural strength of the reinforcing rib 2 will be too low, which is not conducive to the support of the edge of the first air outlet 11. If the distance between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141 is greater than 25 mm, the lengths of the first rib 221 and the second rib 222 will be too large, which is not conducive to the control of cost and weight.

[0071] Thus, the distance between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141 is 4 mm - 25 mm, so that there is an appropriate distance between the vertical rib 21 and the flanging 141, which not only ensures the structural strength of the reinforcing rib 2 and the support effect on the edge of the first air outlet 11, but also is beneficial to the control of cost and weight.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 2-8 shown, the panel assembly 10 further includes: an air outlet grille 3, and an air outlet grille 3 is provided in each first air outlet 11, and the air outlet grille 3 is connected to the mounting plate 14. Among them, it should be noted that the provision of the air outlet grille 3 in the first air outlet 11 can prevent users from putting their hands into the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the safety of users during the use of the air conditioner 100.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 2-8 shown, a rib 142 is provided on one side of the flanging 141 facing the same-side first air outlet 11, the rib 142 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11, and a slot 32 extending along the length direction of the first air outlet 11 is provided on the air outlet grille 3. The air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 are snap-connected through the rib 142 and the slot 32.

[0074] It can be understood that the cooperation of the rib 142 and the slot 32 improves the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14, thereby making the air outlet grille 3 stably installed. At the same time, the cooperation connection of the rib 142 and the slot 32 can replace the setting of some fasteners such as screws between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14, thereby reducing the operation of tightening the fasteners, and thus improving the assembly efficiency between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14.

[0075] At the same time, the provision of the rib 142 enables the rib 142, the flanging 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 to jointly form a support member for the edge of the first air outlet 11, thereby improving the structural strength of the edge of 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 blow air normally and be used normally.

[0076] In addition, the rib 142 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11, so that the rib 142 can support the first air outlet 11 in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, thereby improving the reliability of the support for the edge of the first air outlet 11, and further reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can blow air normally and be used normally.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present utility model, there is a filler between the slot 32 and the rib 142. Thus, direct contact and collision between the slot 32 and the rib 142 can be avoided, thereby reducing noise. In addition, the filler is an airtight object. It can be understood that the provision of the filler between the slot 32 and the rib 142 can also block the flow of air in the gap between the slot 32 and the rib 142, so that the air flow can flow out from the first air outlet 11 as much as possible, ensuring the air outlet effect.

[0078] Among them, in the present utility model, the filler is flannelette, but the present utility model is not limited thereto, and the filler can also be objects such as rubber.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a first hook 31 is provided on the air outlet grille 3, and a first hanging hole 144 matching with the first hook 31 is provided on the mounting plate 14. It can be understood that the first hook 31 is provided on one side in the width direction of the air outlet grille 3. Through the cooperation of the first hook 31 and the first hanging hole 144, the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 is improved, so that the air outlet grille 3 is stably and reliably installed. At the same time, the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 are connected through the cooperation of the first hook 31 and the first hanging hole 144, thereby reducing the setting of some fasteners, reducing the operation of tightening the fasteners, improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14, and thus improving the production and installation efficiency as well as the maintenance efficiency.

[0080] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first hooks 31 are multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the air outlet grille 3, and the first hanging holes 144 are correspondingly multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting plate 14. Thus, the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 is further improved, so that the air outlet grille 3 is stably and reliably installed.

[0081] For example, in the examples shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, there are three first hooks 31 and also three first hanging holes 144, but the present utility model is not limited thereto. The first hooks 31 can be other numbers, and the first hanging holes 144 can also be other numbers, such as 2, 4, 5, or 6, etc.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in Figures 2-4 and Figure 7 As shown, a mounting portion 33 is provided on the air outlet grille 3, and a connecting column 143 is provided on the mounting plate 14. The mounting portion 33 and the connecting column 143 are connected by fasteners. It can be understood that the mounting portion 33 is provided on one side in the width direction of the air outlet grille 3. Through the cooperative connection of the mounting portion 33 and the connecting column 143, the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 is improved, so that the air outlet grille 3 is stably and reliably installed.

[0083] In addition, when the first hook 31 is provided on the air outlet grille 3, the mounting portion 33 and the first hook 31 are provided on the same side in the width direction of the air outlet grille 3, which is convenient for the operation of the installer and improves the installation production efficiency.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, the connecting column 143 is connected to the reinforcing rib 2. Thus, the structural strength of the connecting column 143 can be improved, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14, and making the air outlet grille 3 stably and reliably mounted.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, a mounting arm 15 is provided in the first air outlet 11. Two ends of the mounting arm 15 are respectively connected to the panel brackets 1 located on both sides of the first air outlet 11. In the width direction of the panel bracket 1, the mounting arm 15 and the connecting column 143 are oppositely arranged.

[0086] It can be understood that the mounting arm 15 is used to support the air outlet grille 3 and the air deflector, so that the air outlet grille 3 and the air deflector are not easily deformed. And in the width direction of the panel bracket 1, the mounting arm 15 and the connecting column 143 are oppositely arranged. Among them, preferably, the mounting arm 15 and the connecting column 143 are an integral part, thereby strengthening the structural strength of the mounting arm 15 and the connecting column 143, further improving the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14, and at the same time improving the supporting effect on the air outlet grille 3 and the air deflector, and reducing the deformation of the air outlet grille 3 and the air deflector.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7 shown, the connecting column 143 and the mounting portion 33 are respectively multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. Thus, the connection reliability between the air outlet grille 3 and the mounting plate 14 is further improved, and the air outlet grille 3 is stably and reliably mounted.

[0088] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the mounting arms 15 are multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. The multiple mounting arms 15 and the multiple connecting columns 143 are oppositely arranged in the width direction of the panel bracket 1. Thus, the structural strength of the mounting arm 15 and the connecting column 143 is further strengthened, and the supporting effect on the air outlet grille 3 and the air deflector is improved.

[0089] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, when the caulking ribs 142 are provided on one side of the flanging 141 facing the first air outlet 11 on the same side, the caulking ribs 142 are multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the first air outlet 11, and an installation arm 15 is provided between two adjacent caulking ribs 142. Thus, the space between two adjacent caulking ribs 142 is separated, thereby avoiding the installation interference between the caulking ribs 142 and the installation arm 15, and facilitating the setting of the installation arm 15.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present utility model, along the length direction of the first air outlet 11, the distance between two adjacent installation arms 15 is 200 mm - 400 mm, such as 200 mm, 300 mm, 350 mm or 400 mm, etc. Thus, a suitable distance is provided between two adjacent installation arms 15, so that on the one hand, there are enough installation arms 15 to ensure the supporting effect on the air outlet grille 3 and the air deflector, reduce the deformation of the air outlet grille 3 and the air deflector, and on the other hand, avoid installing too many installation arms 15, thereby reducing the weight and cost of the panel assembly 10.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the panel assembly 10 further includes: a panel 4, the panel 4 is provided on the front side of the mounting plate 14, and the side of the panel 4 facing the mounting plate 14 has a second hook 41, and the side of the mounting plate 14 facing the panel 4 has a second hanging hole 145 that cooperates with the second hook 41.

[0092] It can be understood that through the cooperation of the second hook 41 and the second hanging hole 145, the connection reliability between the panel 4 and the mounting plate 14 is improved, so that the panel 4 is stably and reliably mounted on the mounting plate 14. At the same time, the connection between the panel 4 and the mounting plate 14 through the cooperation of the second hook 41 and the second hanging hole 145 reduces the setting of corresponding partial fasteners, thereby reducing the operation of disassembling and assembling the fasteners, simplifying the connection process, and improving the installation production efficiency.

[0093] Furthermore, the panel 4 can also be connected to the mounting plate 14 through fasteners such as screws, etc., thereby improving the connection reliability between the panel 4 and the mounting plate 14, and further making the panel 4 stably and reliably mounted on the mounting plate 14.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, the length direction of the panel bracket 1 is the up-and-down direction, and the panel bracket 1 is further provided with a second air outlet 12. The second air outlet 12 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 blow air downward better, thereby improving the air outlet effect. And when the air conditioner is refrigerated, blowing air downward can improve the refrigeration effect, so that the air conditioner 100 can refrigerate better.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 1 shown, the length direction of the panel bracket 1 is the up-and-down direction, and a third air outlet 13 is further provided on the panel bracket 1. The third air outlet 13 is provided on the top wall of the panel bracket 1. Thus, the air outlet positions are increased, enabling the air conditioner 100 to blow air upward better, thereby improving the air outlet effect. And when the air conditioner 100 is heating, blowing air upward can improve the heating effect, so that the air conditioner 100 can heat better.

[0096] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0097] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes the above-mentioned panel assembly 10.

[0098] Furthermore, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the air conditioner 100 further 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, facilitating 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. Thus, it is convenient to assemble the air conditioner 100 of the present utility model.

[0099] For the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the above-mentioned panel assembly 10, flanges 141 that are bent outward toward the outside of the first air outlet 11 are provided at both ends in the width direction of the mounting plate 14. A reinforcing rib 2 is provided on the side of the flange 141 facing away from the first air outlet 11 on the same side. The reinforcing rib 2 is provided on the mounting plate 14 and connected to the flange 141. Thus, the flange 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 together become the support members of the first air outlet 11, and the flange 141 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 11. Therefore, the flange 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 can support the first air outlet 11 in the length direction of the first air outlet 11, so that the flange 141 and the reinforcing rib 2 provide reliable structural support for the first air outlet 11, thereby improving the structural strength around the first air outlet 11, reducing the deformation of the structure at the first air outlet 11, and ensuring that the air conditioner 100 can blow air normally and be used normally.
