When the combination of technical solutions conflicts with each other or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present application.
[0039] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a decorative panel 100, which includes a panel body 110, a first installation part 120, a first positioning part 130, and a second positioning part. The first installation part 120 is provided on the panel body 110. The first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part are spaced along the first direction of the panel body 110 on the panel body 110. Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first installation part 120 is used to be assembled with the second installation part 220 on the panel 200; the first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part are respectively used to be assembled with the third positioning part 240 and the fourth positioning part 230 on the panel 200; wherein, there is a first distance between the first positioning part 130 and the first installation part 120 or the second installation part 220 in the first direction of the panel body 110, and there is a second distance between the second positioning part and the first installation part 120 or the second installation part 220 in the first direction, and the first distance is not equal to the second distance.
[0040] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, when the decorative panel 100 is installed into the panel 200, since there is a first distance between the first positioning portion 130 and the first installation portion 120 or the second installation portion 220 in the first direction of the plate body 110, and there is a second distance between the second positioning portion and the first installation portion 120 or the second installation portion 220 in the first direction, and the first distance is not equal to the second distance. If the decorative panel 100 is not assembled with the panel 200 in the preset direction, the first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion cannot cooperate with the third positioning portion 240 and the fourth positioning portion 230 on the panel 200, and further the first installation portion 120 and the second installation portion 220 cannot cooperate, so that the decorative panel 100 cannot be installed onto the panel 200, realizing the anti-fooling installation of the decorative panel 100.
[0041] For example, the correct installation direction of the decorative panel 100 is that the first positioning portion 130 is upward and the second positioning portion is downward. Since the appearance of the decorative panel 100 is symmetrical, when the assembler installs it, the first positioning portion 130 may be downward and the second positioning portion may be upward; because the first distance and the second distance are set to be unequal, during assembly, the first positioning portion 130 cannot be assembled with the fourth positioning portion 230, and the second positioning portion is assembled with the third positioning portion 240 to play the role of anti-fooling installation.
[0042] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 as shown, the difference between the first distance and the second distance is at least the dimension of the first installation portion 120 or the second installation portion 220 in the first direction. In this embodiment, when the decorative panel 100 is not assembled with the panel 200 in the preset direction, the first installation portion 120 cannot be aligned with the second installation portion 220, and the two cannot be assembled, achieving a better anti-fooling installation effect.
[0043] In combination with Figure 2 as shown, the difference between the first distance and the second distance satisfies being less than or equal to the dimension of the first installation portion 120 or the second installation portion 220 in the first direction:
[0044] |L1 - L2| ≤ W
[0045] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, the first direction is the length direction of the plate body 110. In the embodiment, the decorative panel 100 has a long and narrow structure. The first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion are arranged at intervals along the length direction. That is, in the length direction, the first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion are arranged at intervals.
[0046] In some embodiments, the dimension of the first installation portion 120 or the second installation portion 220 in the first direction is the length of the first installation portion 120 or the second installation portion 220 in the length direction.
[0047] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, the first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion are arranged offset in the second direction of the plate body 110. That is, in the embodiment, in order to achieve a better anti-fooling effect and reduce the adverse impact of geometric tolerances on the anti-fooling effect, the first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion are arranged offset in the second direction of the plate body 110; when the decorative plate 100 is not installed on the panel 200 in the preset direction, arranging the first positioning portion 130 and the second installation portion 220 offset in the second direction can prevent the first positioning portion 130 and the fourth positioning portion 230 from being assembled together due to geometric tolerances and prevent the second positioning portion and the third positioning portion 240 from being assembled together due to geometric tolerances.
[0048] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 as shown, the offset distance between the first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion in the second direction is at least 1.5 mm. That is, Figure 2 V in
[0049] is at least 1.5 mm, which can enhance the anti-fooling effect. For example, in some embodiments, V can take values of 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm or 2.0 mm.
[0050] In combination with Figures 3 to 10 as shown, decorative plates 100 are provided on both sides of the panel 200, which are divided into a left decorative plate 100 and a right decorative plate 100; in order to prevent the left decorative plate 100 and the right decorative plate 100 from being assembled incorrectly, as an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, the first installation portion 120 is a buckle; a rib 121 is provided beside one side of the buckle; the second installation portion 220 is an installation groove 221; when the rib 121 is snapped into the installation groove 221, the buckle is snapped into the installation groove 221.
[0051] For example, in the embodiment, the decorative plate 100 is provided with a rib 121 beside the first mounting portion 120. Among them, decorative plates 100 are installed on both opposite sides of the panel. For example, a left decorative plate and a right decorative plate are respectively provided on the left and right sides; the rib 121 of one of the decorative plates is located on one side of the first mounting portion 120 of the decorative plate in the first direction, and the rib 121 of the other decorative plate is located on the other side of the first mounting portion 120 of the decorative plate in the first direction. In order to prevent the two decorative plates 100 from being installed reversely, in the embodiment, ribs 121 are respectively provided beside the first mounting portions 120 of the left decorative plate 100 and the right decorative plate 100. The rib 121 on the left decorative plate 100 is used to prevent the left decorative plate 100 from being assembled to the right side of the panel 200, and the rib 121 on the right decorative plate 100 is used to prevent the right decorative plate 100 from being assembled to the left side of the panel 200. In the embodiment, among the ribs 121 of the left decorative plate 100 and the right decorative plate 100 respectively, the rib 121 of the left decorative plate 100 is located above (or below) its first mounting portion 120 in the first direction, and the rib 121 of the right decorative plate 100 is located below (or above) its first mounting portion 120 in the first direction. Therefore, since the positions of the ribs 121 on the two side decorative plates on their respective decorative plates are opposite, when the left decorative plate 100 is assembled with the left side of the panel 200, the rib 121 can be inserted into the installation groove 221, and then the buckle can be snapped into the installation groove 221; when the installer mistakenly assembles the left decorative plate 100 with the right side of the panel 200, the rib 121 of the left decorative plate cannot be inserted into the installation groove 221 because the direction of the rib 121 of the left decorative plate is opposite to that of the rib 121 of the right decorative plate 100, and then the buckle cannot be snapped into the installation groove 221, realizing the anti-fooling function of the decorative plate 100 on both sides of the panel 200.
[0052] In some embodiments, the plate body 110 has a first end and a second end, and the first end and the second end are oppositely arranged in the first direction; among them, the rib 121 faces the first end or the second end. In the embodiment, the rib 121 of the left decorative plate 100 faces the first end, and the rib 121 of the right decorative plate 100 faces the second end. In this way, when the left and right decorative plates 100 are installed reversely (that is, the left decorative plate 100 is installed on the right side and the right decorative plate 100 is installed on the left side), under the action of this anti-fooling rib 121, the buckle of the left decorative plate 100 and the buckle of the right decorative plate 100 cannot be respectively inserted into the installation groove 221 on the right side of the panel 200 and the installation groove 221 on the left side of the panel 200, thus realizing the anti-fooling effect of the left and right installations of the decorative plate 100.
[0053] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown in Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the left decorative plate 100, Figure 9It is a schematic diagram of the right decorative panel 100, and the ribs 121 of the two face different directions. Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 as shown; when the left decorative panel 100 is correctly installed, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 as shown. Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 as shown; when the right decorative panel 100 is correctly installed, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 as shown.
[0054] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, the first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion are located on both sides of the first mounting portion 120 in the first direction. In the embodiment, arranging the first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion on both sides of the first mounting portion 120 in the first direction is beneficial to the connection reliability between the decorative panel 100 and the panel 200.
[0055] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, a prompt pattern is provided on the plate body 110. In the embodiment, setting a prompt pattern on the plate body 110 can visually prompt the installer to install the decorative panel 100 on the panel 200 in the correct direction. For example, the prompt pattern can be English letters, Chinese characters, arrows, etc. For example, in some technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 9 the L and R shown, L is the abbreviation of English "left", and R is the abbreviation of English "right", representing "left" and "right" respectively.
[0056] In some technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the distances between the first positioning portion 130 and the second positioning portion of the decorative panel 100 and the first mounting portion 120 or the second mounting portion 220 in the first direction are set differently, and they are arranged offset in the second direction. And the left decorative panel 100 and the right decorative panel 100 are respectively provided with ribs 121 facing different directions beside the first mounting portion 120 (the buckle), for example, the rib 121 of the left decorative panel 100 is arranged in the direction of the hinge of the panel 200, and the rib 121 of the right decorative panel 100 is arranged in the direction away from the hinge of the panel 200; and different prompt patterns are respectively provided on the left decorative panel 100 and the right decorative panel 100 for distinction. Therefore, in some embodiments, the anti-fooling structure for the installation of the symmetrical decorative panel 100 of the air conditioner effectively solves the problems of unilateral reverse installation and bilateral reverse installation of the symmetrical decorative panel 100, avoids product defects and rework caused by reverse installation, thereby improving the production and installation efficiency and enhancing the product competitiveness.
