[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] In this article, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", etc. indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, a panel component includes a bushing assembly and a rotating shaft assembly. The bushing assembly includes a bushing 2 riveted to the panel body 1. The rotating shaft assembly includes a rotating shaft 3 inserted into the bushing 2 and relatively rotatable with the bushing 2. The rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the unit housing 4, and a working module is provided in the unit housing 4.

[0032] By providing the bushing 2 fixedly connected to the panel body 1 and the rotating shaft 3 fixed on the unit housing 4, the panel body 1 is driven to rotate around the unit housing 4 by the rotation of the bushing 2 around the rotating shaft 3 to realize the opening or closing of the panel. The bushing 2 is connected to the panel body 1 in a riveting form. Using the riveting connection avoids the use of additional fixing structures to occupy the installation space. The riveting structure is not only reliably connected, but also has a high perpendicularity between the bushing 2 and the panel body 1 after riveting. The high perpendicularity ensures the smooth rotation of the panel body 1 after subsequent assembly with the rotating shaft 3 and realizes reliable rotational opening.

[0033] Specifically, the working mechanism in the unit casing 4 in the present application is prior art and will not be further described in the description of this embodiment.

[0034] Preferably, the panel component connection structure in the present application is applicable to various scenarios where the panel needs to be opened and closed, and the application field does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application.

[0035] In the panel component of this embodiment, a riveting portion for riveting with the panel body 1 is provided on the shaft sleeve 2, and a pre-punched hole matching the riveting portion is opened on the panel body 1.

[0036] Specifically, a mounting hole 11 for mounting the rotating shaft 3 is opened on the sleeve 2, and the mounting hole 11 passes through the sleeve 2 and the riveted part. The riveted part is inserted into the pre-punched hole, and pressure is applied to the sleeve 2 by a press to squeeze the material at the edge of the pre-punched hole on the panel body 1 into the riveted part to form a riveted connection, thereby reducing the use of fixings and achieving a stable connection.

[0037] Preferably, the shaft sleeve 2 is cylindrical, which is easy to process and makes the panel body 1 evenly stressed during the riveting process, thereby improving the stability after riveting.

[0038] Preferably, the mounting hole 11 is aligned with the pre-punched hole and the axis of the sleeve 2 to ensure coaxiality and facilitate smooth rotation of the rotating shaft 3 after insertion.

[0039] In the panel component of this embodiment, the riveting portion includes a stopper ring 5 , which is located at one end of the sleeve 2 close to the panel body 1 , and a clamping groove 6 is provided between the stopper ring 5 and the sleeve 2 .

[0040] Specifically, a clamping groove 6 is provided to accommodate the material of the panel body 1 that is deformed and extends toward the sleeve 2 when the press applies pressure to the sleeve 2. The retaining ring 5 and the sleeve 2 form the clamping groove 6 and at the same time limit the material of the panel body 1 that is deformed and extends into the clamping groove 6, thereby clamping the panel body 1 and achieving the purpose of riveting, realizing a direct connection between the sleeve 2 and the panel body 1, reducing the use of fixing parts, ensuring reliable fixing, and facilitating processing, while reducing costs and improving practicality.

[0041] Preferably, the retaining ring 5 and the retaining groove 6 are both in a circular ring structure, which facilitates the processing of the retaining ring 5 and the retaining groove 6.

[0042] In the panel component of this embodiment, the diameter of the sleeve 2 is not less than the diameter of the pre-punched hole, and the diameter of the retaining ring 5 is not greater than the diameter of the pre-punched hole.

[0043] With the above settings, the material retaining ring 5 and the pre-punched holes on the panel body 1 form a shaft hole assembly relationship. During riveting, the material retaining ring 5 is inserted into the pre-punched holes. A pressure is applied to the bushing 2 by a press. The bushing 2 is thicker than the pre-punched holes. The edge of the bushing 2 presses the panel body 1 on the periphery of the pre-punched holes, causing the extruded and deformed material to extend into the material retaining groove 6 and be clamped by the material retaining ring 5. The material at the edge of the pre-punched holes wraps around the material retaining ring 5 to complete the riveting and achieve fixation.

[0044] Preferably, the thickness of the material retaining groove 6 plus the thickness of the material retaining ring 5 is less than the thickness of the panel body 1. After fixing the panel body 1, a pressure is applied to the main body of the bushing 2 by a press until the end face of the material retaining ring 5 is flush with the surface of the panel body 1. Since the diameter of the main body of the bushing 2 is larger than the diameter of the pre-punched hole of the panel body 1, under the action of the pressure, the main body of the bushing 2 extrudes some of the material of the panel body 1 into the material retaining groove 6. The extruded material is restricted in the material retaining groove 6 by the material retaining ring 5, and a reliable cold riveting connection is formed between the bushing 2 and the panel body 1.

[0045] In the panel component of this embodiment, the rotating shaft assembly further includes a fixing plate 7 fixed on the unit housing 4, and the rotating shaft 3 is arranged on the side of the fixing plate 7 close to the panel body 1.

[0046] Specifically, the fixing plate 7 is provided to connect the rotating shaft 3 and the unit housing 4. The rotating shaft 3 is installed outside the unit housing through the fixing plate 7, so that when the bushing 2 rotates around the rotating shaft 3, it can avoid being blocked by the unit housing 4, and can reach a larger angle range, thereby increasing the rotation opening angle of the panel body 1 and facilitating the maintenance or inspection of the unit structure inside the unit housing 4.

[0047] Preferably, there are two fixing plates 7, and the two fixing plates 7 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the unit housing 4. The panel body 1 is rotatably connected between the two fixing plates 7. There are two bushings 2, and the two bushings 2 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the panel body 1.

[0048] With the above settings, the rotating shafts 3 on the two fixing plates 7 are respectively inserted into the bushings 2 riveted to the panel body 1 from the upper and lower sides to achieve a stable rotational connection of the panel body 1. Two sets of fixing plates 7 and bushings 2 are provided to limit the panel body 1 from both ends, improving the connection strength and rotational stability, and achieving the purpose of being simple and reliable.

[0049] In the panel component of this embodiment, the fixing plate 7 includes a protruding portion 8, the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the protruding portion 8, and the protruding portion 8 is in frictional contact with the panel body 1.

[0050] Specifically, the fixing plate 7 is L-shaped, the protruding part 8 is located at the top of the L shape, the side of the fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the unit housing 4 by screws, and the protruding part 8 at the top protrudes from the surface of the unit housing 4 and extends to the outside to provide enough space for the rotating shaft 3 to be connected to the bushing 2, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding the rotation angle range.

[0051] In the panel component of this embodiment, the panel body 1 is in frictional contact with the protruding part 8 through the bending part 9. The bending part 9 is arranged parallel to the protruding part 8, the rotating shaft 3 is perpendicular to the protruding part 8, and the bushing 2 is perpendicular to the bending part 9.

[0052] Specifically, the bushing 2 is riveted on the bending part 9. The bending part 9 is perpendicular to the panel body 1. The bending structure is set to increase the overall strength of the panel body 1, and at the same time facilitate the installation of the bushing 2 and its cooperation with the rotating shaft 3.

[0053] The bending part 9 is perpendicular to the panel body 1 and thus parallel to the fixing plate 7, so that the axes of the bushing 2 and the rotating shaft 3 are parallel, which further facilitates the insertion of the rotating shaft 3 into the bushing 2 to achieve a smooth rotational connection.

[0054] Preferably, a second bending part is further provided between the two bending parts 9. The second bending parts are respectively located on the left and right sides of the panel body 1. Through the above settings, the panel body 1 has a certain thickness and is in a cuboid shape, increasing the strength of the panel body 1 and making the rotation of the panel body 1 more stable.

[0055] Further preferably, third bending parts are respectively provided at the ends of the bending part 9 and the second bending part, making the cuboid structure of the panel body 1 more stable and increasing the protection effect on the bushing 2.

[0056] In the panel component of this embodiment, the bushing 2 is arranged on the side of the panel body 1 away from the fixing plate 7.

[0057] Specifically, through the above settings, the bushing 2 is located inside the bending part 9, thus playing a role of shielding and protecting the bushing 2, avoiding the bushing 2 protruding and being easily collided and skewed, which affects the normal rotation of the panel body 1.

[0058] In addition, with the above structure, the panel body 1 and the unit housing 4 can be set to the same length, and the two fixing plates 7 are respectively located at both ends of the connection between the panel body 1 and the unit housing 4, improving the compactness of the overall structure, and the connection between the panel body 1 and the unit housing 4 is tight and more beautiful.

[0059] In the panel component of this embodiment, a door lock 10 is provided on the panel body 1. The door lock 10 is rotatably connected to the panel body 1. The door lock 10 includes a handle and a clamping block. Rotating the handle drives the clamping block to rotate to lock or open the panel body 1.

[0060] Specifically, a clamping groove is provided on the unit housing 4 corresponding to the clamping block. By rotating the handle on the outer side of the panel body 1 to drive the clamping block to rotate inside to control the clamping state with the clamping groove, the closing and opening of the panel body 1 are realized.

[0061] On the other hand, the present application also proposes an air conditioner, including a panel component described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0062] It can be anticipated that the air conditioner in the present application includes all the beneficial effects of the riveted bushing type rotating shaft structure panel component in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.
