[0046] By providing a first fixing portion near the inspection port 12 for inspecting the refrigerant pipeline 6, the wireless communication module 2 is installed through the inspection port 12, avoiding the need to additionally open an installation hole for the wireless communication module 2 on the panel 1, simplifying the structure of the panel 1, and ensuring the structural strength of the panel 1; in addition, compared with installing the wireless communication module 2 after removing the entire panel 1, installing the wireless communication module 2 through the inspection port 12 simplifies the installation process of the wireless communication module 2.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the wireless communication module 2 can be a WiFi module and can include, for example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 the housing 21 shown and the electronic components installed in the housing 21, and the housing 21 is connected to the first fixing portion of the panel 1.

[0048] The wireless communication module 2 can be a WiFi module. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, one end of the housing 21 of the WiFi module can be open to assemble the electronic components into the housing 21; the open end of the housing 21 can face downward and toward the inner surface of the panel 1, and a sealing member can be provided between the open end of the housing 21 and the inner surface of the panel 1 to seal the electronic components inside the housing 21.

[0049] Alternatively, the housing 21 of the WiFi module can include a housing body and a housing cover. One end of the housing body is open to assemble the electronic components into the housing body, and the housing cover can seal the open end of the housing body.

[0050] Of course, the wireless communication module 2 is not limited to the WiFi module and can also be other modules, such as: Bluetooth module, etc.

[0051] In some exemplary embodiments, the wireless communication module 2 is provided with a second fixing portion, and the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are detachably connected.

[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, one of the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion includes a buckle 211, and the other of the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion includes a slot 131, and the buckle 211 and the slot 131 are detachably engaged.

[0054] The panel 1 and the wireless communication module 2 are respectively provided with a buckle 211 and a slot 131, so as to realize the installation of the wireless communication module 2 to the panel 1 through the snap connection between the buckle 211 and the slot 131, and the connection and disassembly operations of the buckle 211 and the slot 131 are simple and low in cost.

[0055] Of course, the panel 1 and the wireless communication module 2 are not limited to being fixedly connected through the buckle 211 and the slot 131, and can also be fixedly connected by other means, such as screws, etc.

[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first fixing portion includes a rib 13 provided on the inner surface of the panel 1 and adjacent to the inspection opening 12. The rib 13 is provided with a slot 131. The wireless communication module 2 is located on the side of the rib 13 away from the inspection opening 12, and the buckle 211 is configured to be snapped into the slot 131 along the direction towards the inspection opening 12.

[0057] The inner surface of the panel 1 is provided with a rib 13. The rib 13 is close to the inspection opening 12, and the rib 13 is provided with a slot 131; the housing 21 of the wireless communication module 2 may be provided with a buckle 211. The wireless communication module 2 is snapped onto the slot 131 of the panel 1 to install the wireless communication module 2 near the inspection opening 12.

[0058] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, both the buckle 211 and the slot 131 are provided in multiple numbers and are in one-to-one correspondence and cooperation. The multiple slots 131 are arranged in sequence along the extending direction of the rib 13. Among them, the buckle 211 includes two sub-buckles 2111. The buckling portions 2112 of the two sub-buckles 2111 are arranged away from each other and are snapped onto the opposite sides of the corresponding cooperating slot 131.

[0059] The rib 13 of the panel 1 is provided with multiple (such as: two) slots 131. The side of the housing 21 of the wireless communication module 2 facing the rib 13 is provided with multiple (such as: two) buckles 211. The multiple buckles 211 are in one-to-one correspondence and snap connection with the multiple slots 131, and the multiple buckles 211 and the multiple slots 131 can be arranged in sequence, and the arrangement direction can be along the extending direction of the rib 13, that is, the arrangement direction can be the horizontal direction parallel to the inner wall surface of the panel 1.

[0060] Each buckle 211 may include two sub-buckles 2111. Each sub-buckle 2111 includes a buckling portion 2112, and the buckling portions 2112 of the two sub-buckles 2111 of each buckle 211 are arranged away from each other, so that the buckling portions 2112 of the two sub-buckles 2111 can be snapped onto the opposite sides of the corresponding slot 131.

[0061] Through the snap - fit cooperation of a plurality of snaps 211 and a plurality of slots 131, and the two sub - snaps 2111 of each snap 211 are snap - connected to the opposite sides of the corresponding slot 131, the snap - connection fixing effect is good, and the wireless communication module 2 can be firmly fixed on the panel 1.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wireless communication module 2 is further provided with a limiting portion 212, the rib 13 is provided with a limiting surface, the limiting portion 212 is located on the side of the limiting surface away from the inner board surface of the panel 1, and abuts against the limiting surface for limiting. Among them, the limiting portion 212 can be located on the upper side of the limiting surface, and the lower end surface of the limiting portion 212 can abut against the limiting surface for limiting.

[0063] The rib 13 of the panel 1 is provided with a limiting surface, the housing 21 of the wireless communication module 2 is provided with a limiting portion 212, the limiting portion 212 can be located between two adjacent snaps 211, and the limiting portion 212 can extend toward the side where the rib 13 is located. The limiting portion 212 can be located on the upper side of the limiting surface, and the lower end surface of the limiting portion 212 can abut against the limiting surface for limiting; in addition, the wireless communication module 2 can abut against the inner wall surface of the panel 1 located below it, so as to limit the wireless communication module 2 in the up - down direction.

[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, the end surface (such as the upper end surface) of the protruding end of the rib 13 can be used as the limiting surface, or a step surface can be provided on the side of the rib 13 facing the wireless communication module 2, and this step surface can be used as the limiting surface.

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the panel 1 is further provided with a drain hole 14, and the distance between the part of the inner board surface of the panel 1 where the drain hole 14 is provided and the outer surface of the panel 1 is less than the distance between the part of the inner board surface of the panel 1 where the wireless communication module 2 is installed and the outer surface of the panel 1.

[0066] The distance between the part of the inner board surface (such as the upper board surface) of the panel 1 where the drain hole 14 is provided and the outer surface (such as the lower board surface) of the panel 1 is less than the distance between the part of the inner board surface of the panel 1 where the wireless communication module 2 is installed and the outer surface of the panel 1. When the outer board surface of the panel 1 is a horizontal plane, the height of the part of the inner board surface of the panel 1 where the drain hole 14 is provided is lower than the height of the part of the inner board surface of the panel 1 where the wireless communication module 2 is installed, so that the position height of the wireless communication module 2 is higher than the position height of the drain hole 14, avoiding the wireless communication module 2 from being soaked in water. In addition, the setting of the drain hole 14 facilitates the water on the panel 1 to drain away through the drain hole 14.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the wall surface (such as the upper wall surface) of the wireless communication module 2 on the side away from the inner panel surface of the panel 1 is a water guiding surface 213, and the water guiding surface 213 gradually inclines towards the side where the inner panel surface of the panel 1 is located (such as the lower side) along the direction towards the drain hole 14.

[0068] The upper wall surface of the housing 21 of the wireless communication module 2 can be an inclined water guiding surface 213, and the water guiding surface 213 can gradually incline downwards along the direction towards the drain hole 14, so that when there is accumulated water on the water guiding surface 213, the accumulated water can slide along the water guiding surface 213 towards the side where the drain hole 14 is located under the action of gravity and finally drain out from the drain hole 14.

[0069] By limiting the position height of the wireless communication module 2, arranging the water guiding surface 213 on the wireless communication module 2, and arranging the drain hole 14 for drainage, it is avoided that the wireless communication module 2 fails due to water, and the working reliability of the wireless communication module 2 is improved.

[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, the inner panel surface of the panel 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs to enhance the structural strength of the panel 1. Among them, as Figure 2 shown, the reinforcing ribs can include the first reinforcing rib 16, and the first reinforcing rib 16 can be adjacent to the maintenance opening 12 to enhance the structural strength of the panel 1 near the maintenance opening 2, and prevent the panel 1 from deforming when the wireless communication module 2 is clamped or disassembled.

[0071] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the first reinforcing rib 16 and the wireless communication module 2 can be located on the same side of the maintenance opening 12, and the wireless communication module 2 is provided with an avoidance recess 25 for avoiding the first reinforcing rib 16. The avoidance recess 25 can be arranged at the open end of the housing 21 of the wireless communication module 2 and form a stepped structure on the end surface of the open end of the housing 21.

[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the reinforcing ribs on the panel 1 can further include the second reinforcing rib 17, and the second reinforcing rib 17 can be arranged at the edge of the inner panel surface of the panel 1 to enhance the structural strength of the edge of the panel 1 and prevent the panel 1 from deforming. Of course, according to needs, reinforcing ribs can also be arranged at other positions on the inner panel surface of the panel 1.

[0073] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the panel assembly further includes a display module 3, and the display module 3 is installed on the panel 1 and located on the side where the inner panel surface of the panel 1 is located (such as the upper side), and the display module 3 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 2 through a wire.

[0074] The display module 3 can be installed on the upper side of the panel 1 to prevent the display module 3 from being exposed and affecting the aesthetics; the display module 3 is arranged so that the parameter information of the air conditioner can be displayed through the panel 1. The display module 3 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 2 through a wire, so that the display module 3 can connect to the network through the wireless communication module 2.

[0075] In some exemplary embodiments, a wiring terminal is provided on the display module 3, and the wire electrically connected to the wireless communication module 2 can be plugged into the wiring terminal to achieve the electrical connection between the display module 3 and the wireless communication module 2.

[0077] The display module 3 and the wireless communication module 2 are located on the same side of the maintenance opening 12, so as to electrically connect the display module 3 and the wireless communication module 2 through a wire to avoid the wire from being too long; in addition, a wire groove 15 is provided on the inner plate surface of the panel 1 for wire management to avoid messy wire routing.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the wire groove 15 is located between the display module 3 and the wireless communication module 2, and the wire groove 15 is located on one side of the wireless communication module 2; such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a wire passing hole 214 is provided on one side of the housing 21 of the wireless communication module 2 close to the wire groove 15, and one end of the wire passes through the wire passing hole 214 and is electrically connected to the electronic component.

[0079] The wire groove 15 is located between the display module 3 and the wireless communication module 2, and a wire passing hole 214 for the wire to pass through is provided on one side of the housing 21 of the wireless communication module 2 close to the wire groove 15, so that the wire routing path is reasonable and the length of the wire is shortened.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 shown, the panel 1 is provided with an air return opening 11 and a filter screen covering the air return opening 11. The panel assembly may further include an air return grille 51, and the air return grille 51 is fixedly connected to the panel 1 and covers the air return opening 11.

[0081] When the air conditioner is working, the indoor air can enter the ceiling unit through the air return grille 51, the air return opening 11 and the filter screen, and the filter screen can filter the entering air.

[0082] In some exemplary embodiments, the panel assembly further includes at least one of an air quality sensor 4, a clogging sensor, and an air purification module.

[0083] As Figure 5 shown, the air quality sensor 4 can be installed on one side (e.g., the upper side) where the inner panel surface of the panel 1 is located and can be adjacent to the maintenance opening 12. The air quality sensor 4 is configured to detect the indoor air quality. Among them, the air quality sensor 4 can include a PM2.5 sensor, etc.

[0084] The clogging sensor can be installed on one side (e.g., the upper side) where the inner panel surface of the panel 1 is located and can be adjacent to the maintenance opening 12. The clogging sensor is configured to detect the clogging condition of the filter. Among them, the clogging sensor is configured to detect the static pressure downstream of the filter to realize the detection of the clogging condition of the filter.

[0085] The air purification module can be installed on one side (e.g., the upper side) where the inner panel surface of the panel 1 is located and can be adjacent to the maintenance opening 12. The air purification module is configured to purify the air. The air purification module can include a photocatalyst module, an electrostatic dust removal module, etc.

[0086] Not only can the wireless communication module 2 be integrated on the panel 1, but other devices can also be integrated, such as: the air quality sensor 4, the clogging sensor, and the air purification module. And the wireless communication module 2, the air quality sensor 4, the clogging sensor, and the air purification module are all adjacent to the maintenance opening 12, which is convenient for maintenance, replacement and other operations.

[0087] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the panel assembly further includes an air quality sensor 4 and a maintenance board 52.

[0088] The air quality sensor 4 is installed on one side (e.g., the upper side) where the inner panel surface of the panel 1 is located and is located at the maintenance opening 12. Among them, the air quality sensor 4 can include a PM2.5 sensor, etc. and can be fixed to the panel 1 by means of screws, etc.

[0089] The maintenance board 52 is detachably fixed to the panel 1 and covers the maintenance opening 12. And the maintenance board 52 is provided with ventilation holes 521 corresponding to the air quality sensor 4. The air quality sensor 4 is configured to detect the indoor air quality through the ventilation holes 521.

[0090] The air quality sensor 4 is installed at the maintenance opening 12. The maintenance board 52 covering the maintenance opening 12 is provided with ventilation holes 521.

[0091] The maintenance panel 52 is detachably fixed to the panel 1 so that the air quality sensor 4, the wireless communication module 2, and other components installed near the maintenance opening 12 can be maintained by removing the maintenance panel 52.

[0092] It should be noted that the maintenance panel 52 being detachably fixed to the panel 1 means that at least one end of the maintenance panel 52 can be separated from the panel 1. For example, one side portion of the maintenance panel 52 can be rotatably connected to the panel 1, and the other side portion of the maintenance panel 52 is detachably connected to the panel 1 (such as snap connection, screw connection, etc.). In this way, by separating the other side of the maintenance panel 52 from the panel 1 and rotating the maintenance panel 52, the maintenance panel 52 does not cover the maintenance opening 12 for maintenance operations; or, multiple side portions of the maintenance panel 52 are all detachably connected to the panel 1 (such as snap connection, screw connection, etc.). In this way, by separating multiple side portions of the maintenance panel 52 from the panel 1 and removing the maintenance panel 52 as a whole, the maintenance panel 52 does not cover the maintenance opening 12 for maintenance operations.

[0093] In some exemplary embodiments, the return air grille 51 and the maintenance panel 52 are of an integral structure (as Figure 5 shown) or a split structure.

[0095] The embodiment of the present application also provides a ceiling unit (not shown), including the panel assembly in any of the above embodiments.

[0096] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner (not shown), including the ceiling unit in the above embodiment.
