In addition, a second buckle 13 is provided at the position on the panel 1 where the display box 2 is not provided. The second buckle 13 can be a plurality of buckles arranged at intervals along the length direction of the panel 1, and the second buckle 13 is used for the snap connection between the panel 1 and the face frame. Among them, the second rotating shaft 12 and the second buckle 13 are respectively provided at both ends of the panel 1 in the width direction.

[0039] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing at least one of the first rotating shaft 22 and the first buckle 23 on the display box 2, the first rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the face frame, and the first buckle 23 is snap-connected to the face frame, it is convenient to realize the rotational connection and connection between the panel 1 and the face frame, and it is avoided to provide a rear cover plate on the side of the display box 2 away from the panel 1 for arranging the rotating shaft and the buckle, without the need to open a rear cover plate mold, saving the mold opening cost and the material cost, and improving the assembly efficiency of the panel assembly 100.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the first rotating shaft 22 and the first buckle 23 are provided on the display box 2. The first rotating shaft 22 and the first buckle 23 are respectively provided on both sides of the display box 2 along the width direction of the panel 1. The first rotating shaft 22 is provided at one end of the display box 2 along the width direction of the panel 1, which is convenient to realize the rotational connection between the panel 1 and the face frame, and is convenient to open the panel 1 to realize the disassembly, assembly and cleaning of the filter screen. The first buckle 23 is provided at the other end of the display box 2 along the width direction of the panel 1, which can improve the connection reliability between the panel 1 and the face frame.

[0041] Among them, the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 12 are provided at the same end of the panel 1 in the width direction, and the first buckle 23 and the second buckle 13 are provided at the same end of the panel 1 in the width direction.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first pivot arm 21 is provided on the display box 2, and the first rotating shaft 22 is provided on the first pivot arm 21. One end of the first pivot arm 21 is connected to the display box 2, and the first rotating shaft 22 is provided at the other end of the first pivot arm 21. A second pivot arm 11 is further provided on the panel 1. One end of the second pivot arm 11 is connected to the panel 1, and the second rotating shaft 12 is provided at the other end of the second pivot arm 11. The setting of the first pivot arm 21 and the second pivot arm 11 can avoid interference between the panel 1 and the face frame during the opening process, and can ensure that the panel 1 can be opened at a larger angle, which is convenient for the disassembly, assembly and cleaning of the filter screen.

[0043] Furthermore, the position on the face frame corresponding to the first pivot arm 21 and the second pivot arm 11 has slots or openings. When the panel 1 is closed, at least part of the first pivot arm 21 and the second pivot arm 11 is located within the slots or openings. This can enable the panel 1 to better fit the face frame.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the display box 2 is snap-connected to the panel 1. This can simplify the connection method between the display box 2 and the panel 1, facilitate the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1, and can improve the reliability of the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1.

[0045] Furthermore, as Figures 3-6 shown, the panel 1 is provided with snap holes 14, and the display box 2 is provided with snaps 24 that cooperate with the snap holes 14.

The axis of the snap hole 14 is parallel to the panel 1 and parallel to the length direction of the panel 1 to prevent the display box 2 from falling off the panel 1.

[0046] Even further, as Figures 3-6 shown, there are multiple spaced-apart snap holes 14, and the opening directions of the multiple snap holes 14 are the same. There are multiple snaps 24 corresponding to the multiple snap holes 14, and the extending protrusion directions of the multiple snaps 24 are the same. Among them, the cooperation of the multiple snaps 24 and the multiple snap holes 14 can increase the reliability of the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1. In addition, the opening directions of the multiple snap holes 14 are the same, and the extending protrusion directions of the multiple snaps 24 are the same, which facilitates the multiple snaps 24 to be simultaneously inserted into the multiple snap holes 14 in one direction, improving the assembly efficiency and facilitating assembly.

[0047] Optionally, as Figures 3-6 shown, the multiple snaps 24 are spaced along the circumferential direction of the display box 2. This can improve the reliability of the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1. For example, in the example shown in Figures 3-6 shown, one end of the display box 2 along the length direction of the panel 1 is provided with three snaps 24 and is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the display box 2. The three snaps 24 are spaced along the width direction of the panel 1. The other end is provided with two snaps 24 and is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the display box 2. The two snaps 24 are spaced along the width direction of the panel 1. In addition, there is also one snap 24 at the middle position of the display box 2 along the length direction of the panel 1. Correspondingly, the panel 1 is provided with six corresponding snap holes 14. When the display box 2 is installed on the panel 1, the display box 2 is moved from the end with two snaps 24 towards the end with three snaps 24, so that the six snaps 24 are all simultaneously inserted into the six snap holes 14.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-4 As shown, the display box 2 and the panel 1 are connected by fasteners, thereby increasing the reliability of the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1, simplifying the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1, and facilitating the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1.

[0049] Furthermore, there is only one fastener. It can be understood that the display box 2 and the panel 1 are connected by only one fastener such as a screw, thereby simplifying the connection method between the display box 2 and the panel 1, improving the assembly efficiency of the display box 2 and the panel 1, and ensuring the reliability of the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1.

[0050] For example, in Figures 1-6 In the example shown, a plurality of buckles 24 are provided on the display box 2, and buckle holes 14 cooperating with the plurality of buckles 24 are provided on the panel 1. After the display box 2 and the panel 1 are assembled in place, the display box 2 and the panel 1 are connected by a fastener, which can not only simplify the connection method between the display box 2 and the panel 1 and improve the assembly efficiency of the display box 2 and the panel 1, but also improve the reliability of the connection between the display box 2 and the panel 1.

[0051] In some embodiments of the utility model, a wire clip 15 is further provided on the surface of the panel 1 facing the display box 2. The wire clip 15 is spaced apart from the display box 2. The wiring of the display box 2 can be clipped in the wire clip 15 to keep the wiring neat.
