[0047] Next, refer to Figures 1-7 to describe the panel assembly 101 according to the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0048] According to the panel assembly 101 of the first embodiment of the utility model, the panel assembly 101 includes a face frame 10 and a grille 20. The face frame 10 is used to install the grille 20 and the air guide plate 522 and other structural parts of the air conditioner 100. The grille 20 is detachably fixed to the face frame 10. The grille 20 can be removed from the face frame 10, which can facilitate the repair or maintenance of the grille 20. When the air conditioner 100 is used later, a certain amount of dust will be deposited on the grille 20. The grille 20 can be removed from the face frame 10 to facilitate cleaning.

[0049] The face frame 10 is a rectangular structural frame, and the grille 20 is installed on one side of the face frame 10 in the thickness direction.

[0050] Optionally, a first connecting hole is provided on the grille 20, and a second connecting hole opposite to the first connecting hole is provided on the panel.

[0051] Optionally, a mounting buckle 23 is provided on one side of the grille 20 facing the face frame 10, and a mounting buckle 23 is provided on a third direction (for example, see the attached Figure 6 The e3 direction in the figure, the third direction being the width direction of the face frame 10), retaining springs are arranged on both sides, and the grille 20 is fixed to the face frame 10 by installing the buckles 23 and the retaining springs.

[0052] For example, the air conditioner 100 may be a kitchen air conditioner, which is installed on the kitchen ceiling 60. Since the kitchen is an area with heavy oil and smoke, it is easier for oil smoke to be deposited on the grille 20. The grille 20 is detachably installed on the face frame 10, which can facilitate the removal and subsequent cleaning of the grille 20. The face frame 10 has an air inlet 142 and an air outlet 141, and the grille 20 can be set at the air inlet 142 and / or the air outlet 141.

[0053] The panel assembly 101 further includes a voice module 30 , which is installed on a side of the face frame 10 away from the grille 20 , thereby eliminating the need for the voice module 30 to occupy space on the panel and making reasonable use of the internal space of the air conditioner 100 .

[0054] For example, the face frame 10 includes an installation area where the grille 20 is installed and a blank area where the grille 20 is not installed. The voice module 30 can be arranged on a side of the face frame 10 away from the installation area or on a side of the face frame 10 away from the blank area.

[0055] The voice module 30 can receive voice commands issued by the user, convert the received voice commands into text, understand the meaning of this text, send this text to the processing system of the air conditioner 100, and the processing system of the air conditioner 100 performs corresponding operations according to this text, such as adjusting the temperature, switching modes (such as cooling, heating, air supply, etc.), and feeding back the information after execution to the user to confirm the executed commands or provide status updates, etc.

[0056] For example, the air conditioner 100 can be a kitchen air conditioner. Due to the limited panel space of the kitchen air conditioner, the voice module 30 cannot be installed on the panel of the kitchen air conditioner. Installing the voice module 30 on the side of the face frame 10 facing away from the grille 20 can solve the problem that the voice module 30 cannot be installed on the panel of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0057] According to the panel assembly 101 of the embodiment of the present utility model, the voice module 30 is installed on the side of the face frame 10 facing away from the grille 20, which can not only solve the problem that the voice module 30 cannot be installed on the panel of the air conditioner 100, but also make reasonable use of the internal space of the air conditioner 100.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figures 1-3 , the voice module 30 is disposed opposite to the grille 20, and the voice module 30 is disposed on the side of the face frame 10 facing the grille 20. The grille 20 can block the voice module 30 to a certain extent to prevent dust from entering the voice module 30. For example, the voice module 30 is disposed on the side of the face frame 10 facing away from the installation area.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figures 1-3 , the voice module 30 includes a sound wave receiver 31 and a sound wave transmitter 32. The sound wave receiver 31 is used to receive voice commands issued by the user, and the sound wave transmitter 32 is used to feed back the information after the voice module 30 issues it to the user. The sound wave receiver 31 and the sound wave transmitter 32 have a spacing distance D along the first direction (for example, referring to the e1 direction in Figure 1 , the first direction is the length direction of the face frame 10), satisfying: D≥200mm, which can avoid signal interference between the sound wave receiver 31 and the sound wave transmitter 32, resulting in the sound wave receiver 31 and the sound wave transmitter 32 not working better.

[0060] The sound wave receiver 31 and the sound wave transmitter 32 are disposed on the side of the face frame 10 facing away from the grille 20, which can improve the receiving efficiency of the sound wave receiver 31 and the capabilities of the sound wave transmitter 32 in terms of sensitivity, resonance frequency, and impedance.

[0061] For example, the interval distance between the sound wave receiver 31 and the sound wave transmitter 32 along the first direction may be 200 mm, 210 mm, 220 mm, or 230 mm.

[0062] Optionally, the sound wave receiver 31 may be a microphone, and the sound wave transmitter 32 may be a speaker. The materials of the microphone and the speaker may be resistant to acid and alkali corrosion and may be used in a kitchen air conditioner.

[0063] In a specific example, there is a creepage distance greater than or equal to 4 mm between the receiving port of the sound wave receiver 31 and the outer edge of the face frame 10 , which can ensure the normal operation of the sound wave receiver 31 .

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-3 The sound wave receiver 31 and the sound wave transmitter 32 can be detachably connected to the face frame 10, which can facilitate the disassembly and assembly and subsequent maintenance of the sound wave receiver 31 and the sound wave transmitter 32. For example, the sound wave receiver 31 and the sound wave transmitter 32 can be fixed to the face frame 10 by buckles or bolts.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-3 A plurality of locking buckles 122 are provided on one side of the face frame 10 facing the sound wave receiver 31.

For example, the sound wave receiver 31 is a cubic structural member, and the plurality of locking buckles 122 are distributed at intervals around the sound wave receiver 31 and clamped on the outer side of the sound wave receiver 31 away from the face frame 10.

[0066] In a specific example, the locking buckle 122 includes a leg connected to the face frame 10 and a locking portion connected to one end of the leg away from the face frame 10, and the surface of the locking portion away from the face frame 10 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is inclined toward the direction of the face frame 10. When the sound wave receiver 31 is installed on the face frame 10, the sound wave receiver 31 can be placed on the inclined surface, and the sound wave receiver 31 is pressed hard. The inclined surface can play a role in guiding the installation of the sound wave receiver 31, and then the sound wave receiver 31 is placed in a plurality of locking buckles 122. When the sound wave receiver 31 needs to be disassembled, the locking buckle 122 is forced to be moved toward the side away from the sound wave generator, so that the locking buckle 122 no longer locks the sound wave receiver 31, and the sound wave receiver 31 can be removed from the face frame 10.

[0067] On one side of the front frame 10 facing the sound wave emitter 32, there are multiple mounting brackets. The sound wave emitter 32 has a flange 133 that cooperates with the mounting brackets. Using fasteners 132 to fix the mounting brackets and the flange 133 can not only facilitate the installation and disassembly of the sound wave emitter 32, but also increase the strength of the sound wave emitter 32 when installed on the front frame 10.

[0068] In a specific example, the flange 133 has first mounting holes, and the mounting brackets have second mounting holes. The number of the first mounting holes and the second mounting holes is equal and they correspond one by one. The fasteners 132 are sequentially passed through the first mounting holes and the second mounting holes to fix the sound wave emitter 32 to the front frame 10. The first mounting holes and the second mounting holes have internal threads, and the fasteners 132 have external threads. When the fasteners 132 are passed through the first mounting holes and the second mounting holes, the internal threads and the external threads are thread-mated to fasten the flange 133 and the mounting brackets.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-3 , a shock-absorbing member is provided between the sound wave emitter 32 and the front frame 10.

The sound wave receiver 31 is located on the side of the sound wave transmitter 32 away from the electric control box 40.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-3 , the panel assembly 101 further includes a filter screen 22. The filter screen 22 is detachably installed on the side of the grille 20 close to the front frame 10. The filter screen 22 can filter the dust entering the interior of the air conditioner 100 from the external environment, and can keep the interior of the air conditioner 100 clean and tidy. At the same time, the grille 20 can be detached from the front frame 10, and the filter screen 22 can also be detached from the grille 20, which is convenient for replacing the filter screen 22. When the filter screen 22 needs to be replaced, the grille 20 can be detached from the front frame 10, and then the filter screen 22 can be detached from the grille 20. After that, the new filter screen 22 is pasted onto the grille 20.

[0089] For example, the air conditioner 100 is a kitchen air conditioner. The kitchen is an area with heavy oil and heavy smoke. The filter screen 22 can filter the oil fume in the room to avoid the oil fume entering the air conditioner 100 and causing the air conditioner 100 to malfunction. The filter screen 22 can also adsorb the oil and acetic acid in the air to avoid the oil and acetic acid entering the interior of the air conditioner 100 and corroding the internal unit 102 of the air conditioner 100 and the components on the back of the front frame 10. The filter screen 22 can be a honeycomb activated carbon oil fume filter screen 22, and the filter screen 22 can intercept 95%-96% of the oil fume.

[0090] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1-3 , a receiving groove is provided on the side of the grille 20 facing the front frame 10. The filter screen 22 is located in the receiving groove. After the grille 20 is installed on the front frame 10, the filter screen 22 is located in the receiving groove of the grille 20, so that the filter screen 22 does not occupy the space of the front frame 10, which is convenient for installing the grille 20 and the filter screen 22.

[0091] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 6, the grille 20 includes a plurality of grille bars 21 extending in a first direction. The plurality of grille bars 21 are spaced apart in a third direction. At least one of the grille bars 21 has an inclined surface on at least one side in the third direction. It can be that all the grille bars 21 have inclined surfaces on opposite sides in the third direction, or it can be that all the grille bars 21 have inclined surfaces on one side in the third direction. The inclined surface has an angle A with the plane where the second direction is located, and satisfies: 9° ≤ A ≤ 11°. Wherein, the second direction is perpendicular to the third direction, and the plane is parallel to the first direction.

[0092] The side surface of at least one side of the grille bar 21 in the third direction is inclined. When the indoor air enters the interior of the air conditioner 100, the inclined surface can guide the air flow, so that the air flow enters the interior of the air conditioner 100 along a fixed inclination angle.

[0093] For example, the angle between the inclined surface and the plane where the second direction is located can be 9°, 10° or 11°, etc.

[0094] The air conditioner 100 according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: the panel assembly 101 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention above.

[0095] For example, the air conditioner 100 is a kitchen air conditioner. The high-temperature air generated in the kitchen is sucked into the interior of the air conditioner 100 through the grille 20 with a 10° inclination angle. The filter screen 22 can adsorb oil and acetic acid in the air, preventing corrosion of the components on the back of the indoor unit 102 and the front frame 10. Most of the high-temperature air enters the evaporator component of the main unit. The graphene fins and TU1 copper tubes of the evaporator component carry a large amount of cold air, which can instantly cool the high-temperature air. Then it is blown into the volute at high speed by the centrifugal wheel and is transported to the air outlet 141 of the front frame 10 through the pipeline 103 of the main unit, and then blown into the kitchen interior from the air outlet 141.

[0096] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the above-mentioned panel assembly 101, the voice module 30 is installed on the side of the front frame 10 facing away from the grille 20, which can not only solve the problem that the voice module 30 cannot be installed on the panel of the air conditioner 100, but also make reasonable use of the internal space of the air conditioner 100.
