[0043] Reference will be made below to the panel assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 - 15 As shown, the panel assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a panel 10 and a display box 20.

[0045] Specifically, a first clamping part 11 is provided on the panel 10, and a second clamping part 21 is provided on the display box 20. The second clamping part 21 is clamped and connected to the first clamping part 11, so that the display box 20 can be fixedly installed on the panel 10, meeting the required installation requirements, ensuring that the display box 20 is fixedly reliable on the panel 10 and being convenient for disassembly.

[0046] In addition, asFigures 1 - 15 As shown, a first positioning portion 12 is further provided on the panel 10. The first positioning portion 12 is spaced apart from the first clamping portion 11. A second positioning portion 22 is further provided on the display box 20. The second positioning portion 22 cooperates with the first positioning portion 12. The distance between the first positioning portion 12 and the first clamping portion 11 is less than or equal to 20 mm, so that the mating position of the second clamping portion 21 and the first clamping portion 11 and the mating position of the second positioning portion 22 and the first positioning portion 12 can be located at a relatively close position, achieving a sufficient limiting effect, enhancing the connection strength between the display box 20 and the panel 10, effectively preventing the second clamping portion 21 and the first clamping portion 11 from being easily deformed and displaced, avoiding the problem that the display box 20 is easily loosened, ensuring the connection reliability of the display box 20 on the panel 10, and thus effectively enhancing the overall stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100. For example, in some specific embodiments, the distance between the first positioning portion 12 and the first clamping portion 11 can be 20 mm, 18 mm, 15 mm, 13 mm, 10 mm, 8 mm, 5 mm, etc.

[0047] According to the panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the spaced-apart first clamping portion 11 and the first positioning portion 12 on the panel 10, the distance between the first positioning portion 12 and the first clamping portion 11 is less than or equal to 20 mm, and the display box 20 is provided with a second clamping portion 21 that is clamped and connected to the first clamping portion 11 and a second positioning portion 22 that cooperates with the first positioning portion 12, the connection strength between the display box 20 and the panel 10 can be enhanced, effectively preventing the second clamping portion 21 and the first clamping portion 11 from being easily deformed and displaced, avoiding the problem that the display box 20 is easily loosened, ensuring the connection reliability of the display box 20 on the panel 10, and thus effectively enhancing the overall stability and reliability of the panel assembly 100.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific structures of the first positioning portion 12 and the second positioning portion 22 can be set according to actual situations.

[0049] For example, in some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 13 and Figure 15 shown, the second positioning portion 22 can be a positioning hole, and the first positioning portion 12 can be a positioning post. By inserting the positioning post into the positioning hole, the positioning of the display box 20 on the panel 10 can be realized, effectively enhancing the connection strength between the display box 20 and the panel 10, and having a simple structure, being convenient for processing and manufacturing, and being beneficial to reducing production costs.

[0050] Of course, the first positioning portion 12 can also be a positioning hole, and the second positioning portion 22 is a positioning post extending into the positioning hole, which is also within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 5 shown, in the direction in which the positioning post extends into the positioning hole (for example, Figure 5 the front-to-back direction in

[0052] ), the aperture of the positioning hole gradually decreases, that is, the positioning hole can be formed in the shape of a flared opening, which is convenient for the positioning post to extend into the positioning hole, making the cooperation between the positioning post and the positioning hole more convenient, capable of playing a guiding role, and beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency.

[0053] It should be noted that for the convenience of description, the orientations such as "front" and "back" in the present utility model are based on the orientation relationship shown in the drawings, rather than the limitation of the orientation in the actual application process. Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 shown, reinforcing ribs 30 are provided on the peripheral wall of the positioning post. Through the reinforcing ribs 30, the structural strength of the positioning post can be increased, the anti-deformation ability of the positioning post can be improved, and the deformation or damage of the positioning post caused by uneven stress can be avoided, thereby ensuring the accuracy of positioning and the reliability of connection. For example, the reinforcing ribs 30 can be inclined ribs.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 and Figure 10 shown, there can be multiple reinforcing ribs 30. The multiple reinforcing ribs 30 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the positioning post. Through the multiple reinforcing ribs 30, the structural strength of the positioning post can be further improved, and the deformation or damage of the positioning post can be avoided.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present utility model, the number of the reinforcing ribs 30 can be flexibly set according to the actual situation. For example, the reinforcing ribs 30 can be Figure 8 shown as four, or can be two, three, five, six or more, which are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 5 and Figure 10 shown, a fillet is provided between the free end face of the positioning post and the peripheral wall of the positioning post. When the positioning post extends into the positioning hole, it can reduce friction and wear, be convenient for improving the assembly efficiency, and can relieve the stress concentration phenomenon of the positioning post, effectively improving the durability of the positioning post.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first positioning portion 12 and the second positioning portion 22 are snap-connected, which can realize the fixation of the display box 20 on the panel 10, ensure the reliable fixation of the display box 20 on the panel 10, effectively enhance the connection strength between the display box 20 and the panel 10, and be convenient for disassembly.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 11 shown in Figure 14 , an outlet 23 is provided on the display box 20, and the wire harness (such as a microphone wire, a speaker wire, etc.) in the display box 20 can be led out through the outlet 23 to meet the connection requirements of the wire harness.

[0059] Since the display box 20 is provided with the outlet 23, the edge strength is likely to be insufficient. By arranging the outlet 23 and the second positioning portion 22 on the same side of the display box 20, the cooperation between the first positioning portion 12 and the second positioning portion 22 can enhance the connection strength between the display box 20 and the panel 10, preventing the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 21 from being deformed easily when the wire harness is stressed, thereby avoiding the problem that the display box 20 is likely to become loose.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 and Figure 7 and Figure 9 and Figure 11 shown in Figure 14 , there are multiple (greater than or equal to two) first clamping portions 11, and there are multiple second clamping portions 21 corresponding to the first clamping portions 11 one by one. Through the cooperation of the multiple first clamping portions 11 and the multiple second clamping portions 21, the connection between the display box 20 and the panel 10 at multiple different positions can be realized, ensuring that the display box 20 is fixedly reliable on the panel 10.

[0061] In addition, as Figures 1 - 15 shown, there is one first positioning portion 12, and the distance between the one first positioning portion 12 and one of the first clamping portions 11 is less than or equal to 20 mm. Thus, the required limiting function can be achieved through the one first positioning portion 12, the problem that the display box 20 is likely to become loose can be avoided, and the production cost can be reduced.

[0062] Alternatively, there are multiple first positioning portions 12 corresponding to the first clamping portions 11 one by one, and there are multiple second positioning portions 22 corresponding to the first positioning portions 12 one by one. Through the cooperation of the multiple first positioning portions 12 and the multiple second positioning portions 22, the limiting requirements at multiple different positions between the display box 20 and the panel 10 can be realized, effectively enhancing the connection strength between the display box 20 and the panel 10, avoiding the problem that the display box 20 is likely to become loose, and ensuring the connection reliability.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 11 and Figures 13 - 15As shown, the second engaging portion 21 and the second positioning portion 22 are located on the same side of the display box 20, or the second engaging portion 21 and the second positioning portion 22 are located on two adjacent sides of the display box 20, both of which can meet the required limiting requirements and can be set according to the actual situation to avoid problems such as interference, ensuring setting flexibility.

[0064] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the display box 20 is provided with an outlet 23. The outlet 23 and the second positioning portion 22 are located on the same side of the display box 20, and the second engaging portion 21 and the second positioning portion 22 are located on two adjacent sides of the display box 20, that is, the outlet 23 and the second engaging portion 21 are located on two adjacent sides of the display box 20. Thus, the first engaging portion 11 and the second engaging portion 21 can fix the adjacent edges of the display box 20 where the outlet 23 is provided, ensuring reliable fixation. And through the first positioning portion 12 and the second positioning portion 22, the connection strength between the display box 20 and the panel 10 can be enhanced, preventing the first engaging portion 11 and the second engaging portion 21 from being easily deformed when the wire harness is stressed, thereby avoiding the problem that the display box 20 is easily loosened.
