Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular, to a display module and an air conditioner indoor unit. Background Art

[0002] A display module is a module installed on the outer shell of an air conditioner indoor unit for displaying and adjusting the temperature. In related technologies, the display module usually includes a panel with silk printing provided thereon. In this way, by pressing the panel at the silk printing position, the purpose of adjusting the temperature can be achieved. However, when adjusting the temperature by pressing at the silk printing position of the display module in related technologies, the situation of insensitive pressing or even failure often occurs. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The present application discloses a display module and an air conditioner indoor unit, which are more sensitive to pressing and are not prone to failure.

[0004] To achieve the above object, on the one hand, the present application discloses a display module, including:

[0005] A panel;

[0006] A display bottom frame, the display bottom frame includes a display area fitting surface facing the panel and an elastic element area surface, a display installation part is provided on the display area fitting surface, and an elastic element installation part is provided on the elastic element area surface;

[0007] A display element, the display element is arranged on the display installation part; and,

[0008] An elastic element, the elastic element is arranged on the elastic element installation part and abuts against the panel, and the elastic direction of the elastic element is the direction opposite to the panel of the elastic element area surface;

[0009] The panel is attached to the display area fitting surface and a gap is formed between the panel and the elastic element area surface.

[0010] Since a display installation part is provided on the display area fitting surface, an elastic element installation part is provided on the elastic element area surface, the display element is arranged on the display installation part, the elastic element is arranged on the elastic element installation part, and since the panel is attached to the display area fitting surface and a gap is formed between the panel and the elastic element area surface.

[0011] Therefore, after the display module is assembled, even if the elastic element is skewed or toppled, the elastic element can just be located in the gap and will not be clamped between the panel and the display bottom frame. In this way, after the display module is assembled, the position of the elastic element can be adjusted by shaking or other means, so that the elastic element returns to the correct position and aligns with the silk-screen position. Furthermore, to a certain extent, it can avoid or reduce the situation that the elastic element is clamped between the panel and the display bottom frame, resulting in the elastic element being in a state of deviation from the silk-screen position all the time, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation that the display module is not sensitive enough or fails to press to a certain extent.

[0012] On the other hand, the present application discloses a display module, including:

[0013] A panel;

[0014] A display bottom frame, the display bottom frame includes a display area fitting surface facing the panel and an elastic element area surface, a display installation part is arranged on the display area fitting surface, and an elastic element installation part is arranged on the elastic element area surface;

[0015] A display element, the display element is arranged on the display installation part; and,

[0016] An elastic element, the elastic element is arranged on the elastic element installation part and abuts against the panel, and the elastic direction of the elastic element is the direction opposite to the panel relative to the elastic element area surface;

[0017] The panel and the elastic element area surface are spaced relative to each other, so that a gap is formed between the panel and the elastic element area surface, and the gap allows one end of the elastic element close to the panel to shake therein.

[0018] Since the panel and the elastic element area surface are spaced relative to each other to form a gap, and the gap allows one end of the elastic element close to the panel to shake therein, therefore, after the display module is assembled, the elastic element can be adjusted to align with the silk-screen position of the panel by shaking in the gap, and will not be clamped between the panel and the display bottom frame, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation that the display module is not sensitive enough or fails to press to a certain extent.

[0019] Optionally:

[0020] The display installation part is a display installation hole, and the display element is arranged in the display installation hole;

[0021] And / or,

[0022] The elastic element installation part is an elastic element installation hole, and the elastic element is arranged in the elastic element installation hole.

[0023] By making the display mounting portion a display mounting hole and disposing the display element within the display mounting hole, the display mounting hole can provide a relatively enclosed mounting environment for the display element, protecting the display element from the external environment, thereby improving the durability of the display element to a certain extent.

[0024] In addition, by disposing the display element within the display mounting hole, the volume occupied by the display element in the entire display module can be reduced to a certain extent, making the entire display module more compact and thinner.

[0025] By making the elastic element mounting portion an elastic element mounting hole and disposing the elastic element within the elastic element mounting hole, the elastic element mounting hole can provide a relatively enclosed mounting environment for the elastic element, protecting the elastic element from the external environment, thereby improving the durability of the elastic element to a certain extent.

[0026] In addition, by disposing the elastic element within the elastic element mounting hole, the volume occupied by the elastic element in the entire display module can be reduced to a certain extent, making the entire display module more compact and thinner.

[0027] Optionally, the surface of the elastic element area is lower than the bonding surface of the display area.

[0028] By making the surface of the elastic element area lower than the bonding surface of the display area, a stepped structure can be formed between the surface of the elastic element area and the bonding surface of the display area. In this way, when the bonding surface of the display area is bonded to the panel, a gap will be formed between the surface of the elastic element area and the panel.

[0029] It can be seen that by making the surface of the elastic element area lower than the bonding surface of the display area, a gap can be formed between the surface of the elastic element area and the panel when the bonding surface of the display area is bonded to the panel. The method of forming the gap is very simple, which can reduce the cost of the display bottom frame to a certain extent.

[0030] Optionally, the surface of the elastic element area is parallel to the bonding surface of the display area.

[0031] By making the surface of the elastic element area parallel to the bonding surface of the display area, on the one hand, it is convenient for processing the surface of the elastic element area and the bonding surface of the display area, and thus convenient for processing the display bottom frame. On the other hand, the structure of the display bottom frame can be made more regular, which is convenient for setting the elastic element mounting portion on the surface of the elastic element area and also convenient for setting the display mounting portion on the bonding surface of the display area.

[0032] Optionally, the panel includes:

[0033] A first bonding surface that bonds to the bonding surface of the display area; and,

[0034] A second fitting surface, which is spaced opposite to the surface of the elastic element area, is lower than the first fitting surface, or the first fitting surface is coplanar with the second fitting surface.

[0035] By making the second fitting surface lower than the first fitting surface, a gap can be formed between the second fitting surface and the surface of the elastic element area when the first fitting surface fits to the fitting surface of the display area.

[0036] By making the first fitting surface coplanar with the second fitting surface, the structure of the panel can be made more regular. Therefore, the processing difficulty of the panel can be reduced to a certain extent.

[0037] Optionally, the width of the gap is d, where d≥1mm; d≤2mm.

[0038] By making d≥1mm, the situation where the elastic element is clamped between the panel and the display bottom frame can be avoided to a certain extent.

[0039] By making d≤2mm, the occupancy of the gap in the entire display module space can be reduced to a certain extent, making the entire display module small, thin and light.

[0040] Optionally, d = 1.5mm.

[0041] When d = 1.5mm, it can ensure that the elastic element is not clamped between the panel and the display bottom frame while making the width of the gap as small as possible.

[0042] Optionally, the display bottom frame further includes:

[0043] A side wall, which is connected to the surface of the elastic element area and has an angle with the surface of the elastic element area. A flange is provided on the side wall, and the flange protrudes from the side wall and is flush with the surface of the elastic element area.

[0044] By providing a flange on the side wall and making the flange flush with the surface of the elastic element area, the minimum distance between the side away from the side wall of the flange and the elastic element mounting portion can be made greater than the minimum distance between the side wall and the elastic element mounting portion. In other words, by providing a flange on the side wall, the elastic element mounting portion can be made farther away from the edge of the display bottom frame, playing a role in widening the edge of the display bottom frame. In this way, the situation where the elastic element skews and gets stuck on the clamping portion between the elastic element mounting portion and the flange can be avoided or reduced to a certain extent, and further, the possibility of insufficient sensitivity or failure of the display module when pressed can be avoided or reduced.

[0045] Optionally, the elastic element is a spring, and the minimum distance between the side of the flange away from the side wall and the elastic element mounting portion is L, where L is greater than or equal to the pitch of the spring.

[0046] By making L greater than or equal to the pitch of the spring, it can be ensured that after the elastic element is skewed, it is not easily stuck on the clamping portion between the elastic element mounting portion and the flange, thereby avoiding or reducing the possibility of insufficient sensitivity or failure of the display module during pressing.

[0047] Optionally, L≥1.4 mm; L≤5.4 mm.

[0048] When L≥1.4 mm, it can be ensured that after the elastic element is skewed, it is not easily stuck on the clamping portion between the elastic element mounting portion and the flange, thereby avoiding or reducing the possibility of insufficient sensitivity or failure of the display module during pressing.

[0049] By making L≤5.4 mm, it can be avoided that the size of the display bottom frame 1 is too large due to an overly large L, and thus the size of the entire display module 100 is too large.

[0050] Optionally, L = 3.4 mm.

[0051] By making L = 3.4 mm, the size of L can be neither too large nor too small. On the basis of ensuring that the elastic element is not easily stuck on the clamping portion after being skewed, the size of the display bottom frame can be made smaller.

[0052] On the other hand, the present application discloses an air conditioner indoor unit, including:

[0053] A housing assembly that forms an inner cavity;

[0054] An evaporator disposed in the inner cavity;

[0055] A blower disposed in the inner cavity;

[0056] The housing assembly includes a housing and a display module, and the display module is disposed on the housing;

[0057] The display module is any one of the display modules described in the above-mentioned one aspect and the other aspect.

[0058] Since the pressing of the display module is more sensitive and not easily fails, based on this, when the air conditioner indoor unit includes a display module, the pressing of the air conditioner indoor unit can be made more sensitive and the user experience is better.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0060] Since a display installation part is provided on the bonding surface of the display area, an elastic element installation part is provided on the surface of the elastic element area, the display element is disposed on the display installation part, and the elastic element is disposed on the elastic element installation part, and since the panel is bonded to the bonding surface of the display area and a gap is formed between the panel and the surface of the elastic element area.

[0061] Therefore, after the display module is assembled, even if the elastic element is skewed or toppled, the elastic element can just be located in the gap and will not be clamped between the panel and the display bottom frame. In this way, after the display module is assembled, the position of the elastic element can be adjusted by shaking or other means, so that the elastic element is righted and aligned with the silk printing position. Furthermore, to a certain extent, it can be avoided or reduced that the elastic element is clamped between the panel and the display bottom frame, resulting in the elastic element being always in a state of deviating from the silk printing position, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation that the display module is not sensitive enough or fails to press to a certain extent.

[0083] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0084] In this application, the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "middle", "vertical", "horizontal", "lateral", "longitudinal", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings. These terms are mainly used to better describe this application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit that the indicated devices, elements or components must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0085] Moreover, in addition to being used to represent orientation or positional relationships, some of the above terms may also be used to represent other meanings. For example, the term "upper" may also be used to represent a certain attachment relationship or connection relationship in some cases. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0086] In addition, the terms "mount", "set", "provided with", "connected", "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or there can also be internal communication between two devices, elements or components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0087] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are mainly used to distinguish different devices, elements or components (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, elements or components. Unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0088] Before explaining the technical solution of this application, the inventive concept of this application will be explained first.

[0089] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner indoor unit 1000 provided by an embodiment of this application. Refer to Figure 1 , the display module 100 is a module installed on the housing 300 of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 for displaying and adjusting the temperature. Usually, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic structural diagram of the display module 100 in Figure 3 , Figure 3 is Figure 2The exploded view of the display module 100 from another perspective shows that elastic element mounting holes (elastic element mounting parts 121) are provided on the bottom frame 1, and the elastic elements 3 are arranged in the elastic element mounting holes and correspond to the silk screen positions of the panel 4. In this way, by pressing the panel 4 at the silk screen positions, the purpose of adjusting the temperature can be achieved.

[0090] However, during the assembly process of the display module 100, since the elastic elements 3 are relatively soft in texture, some of the elastic elements 3 protruding out of the elastic element mounting holes are likely to be skewed and toppled, resulting in a situation of deviating from the silk screen positions of the panel 4. When the elastic elements 3 deviate from the silk screen positions of the panel 4, the skewed part of the elastic elements 3 will be clamped between the panel 4 and the bottom frame 1 during the process of attaching the panel 4 to the bottom frame 1, causing the elastic elements 3 to always be in a state of deviating from the silk screen positions. As a result, problems such as insensitive or ineffective pressing of the display module 100 will occur. Based on this, the present application provides a display module 100 and an air conditioner indoor unit 1000 to solve the above problems.

[0091] The technical solutions of the present application will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0092] Figure 4 It is the exploded view of another display module 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 is Figure 4 The schematic structural diagram of the bottom frame 1 in []. In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the display module 100 may include a bottom frame 1.

[0093] The material of the above-mentioned bottom frame 1 may be rubber, and its shape may be approximately rectangular, diamond-shaped, triangular, etc. Of course, the bottom frame 1 may also be made of other possible materials, and the shape may also be other possible shapes. This embodiment does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0094] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the bottom frame 1 may include a display area fitting surface 11 facing the panel 4, and a display mounting part 111 is provided on the display area fitting surface 11.

[0095] By providing the display mounting part 111 on the display area fitting surface 11, it is convenient to set the display element 2 on the display mounting part 111 subsequently.

[0096] Among them, the above-mentioned display area fitting surface 11 may be an arc surface as shown in Figure 5 . Of course, the display area fitting surface 11 may also be a flat surface, etc. This embodiment does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0097] The above-mentioned display mounting part 111 may be as shown in Figure 5The shown display mounting holes can be rectangular, circular or the like in shape. Of course, the display mounting portion 111 can also be a groove-shaped structure or the like, and this embodiment does not limit this. In addition, the number of the above-mentioned display mounting portions 111 can be three, four, five or the like, and this embodiment also does not limit the number of the display mounting portions 111.

[0098] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the display bottom frame 1 can include an elastic element area surface 12 facing the panel 4, and an elastic element mounting portion 121 is provided on the elastic element area surface 12.

[0099] By providing the elastic element mounting portion 121 on the elastic element area surface 12, it facilitates the subsequent setting of the elastic element 3 on the elastic element mounting portion 121.

[0100] Among them, the shape of the above-mentioned elastic element area surface 12 can be an arc surface. Of course, the shape of the elastic element area surface 12 can also be a flat surface or the like, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0101] The above-mentioned elastic element mounting portion 121 can be, for example, Figure 5 the shown elastic element mounting holes, and the shape can be circular, rectangular or the like. Of course, the elastic element mounting portion 121 can also be a groove-shaped structure or the like, as long as it can facilitate the setting of the elastic element 3, and this embodiment does not limit this. The number of the elastic element mounting portions 121 can be, for example, Figure 5 seven as shown. Of course, the number of the elastic element mounting portions 121 can also be eight, nine or the like, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0102] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the display module 100 can include a display element 2, and the display element 2 is arranged on the display mounting portion 111.

[0103] When the display module 100 further includes a display element 2 and the display element 2 is arranged on the display mounting portion 111, the display module 100 can have a display function so that the display module 100 can display information externally.

[0104] For example, when the display module 100 is applied to the air conditioner indoor unit 1000, the display module 100 can display temperature information, air volume size information, etc. externally through the display element 2.

[0105] Of course, the display module 100 can also be used to display other possible information externally. For example, when the display module 100 is applied to a washing machine, the display module 100 can display washing mode, washing time and other information externally, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0106] Specifically, the display element 2 may be a LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamp or any other possible display element 2, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0107] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The display module 100 may include an elastic element 3 , which is disposed on the elastic element mounting portion 121 and abuts against the panel 4 , and the elastic direction of the elastic element 3 is the direction opposite to the elastic element area surface 12 and the panel 4 .

[0108] By arranging the elastic element 3 on the elastic element mounting portion 121, the elastic element 3 can act as a spring in a button, so that the display module 100 can have a pressing function. Taking the display module 100 applied to an air conditioner indoor unit 1000 as an example, by pressing the elastic element at the screen printing position of the panel through the panel 4, the air volume or cooling temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 can be adjusted.

[0109] The elastic element 3 may be cylindrical in shape. Of course, the elastic element 3 may also be in other possible shapes, for example, Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 4 The structural diagram of the elastic element 3 in FIG. 1 , the shape of the elastic element 3 may also be as follows Figure 6 The flat-lying "H" shape shown in the figure is not limited to this in this embodiment.

[0110] When the elastic element 3 is Figure 6 When the "H" shape is shown lying flat, on the one hand, the elastic element 3 can be more stably arranged on the elastic element mounting portion 121, and on the other hand, the elastic element 3 can also be used for the pressed head ( Figure 6 The top of the elastic element 3 has a larger area, which makes the pressing more sensitive and less likely to fail.

[0111] The number of the elastic elements 3 may be equal to the number of the elastic element mounting portions 121. For example, when the number of the elastic element mounting portions 121 is Figure 4 When there are seven elastic elements 3 shown, the number of the elastic elements 3 may also be seven. Of course, the number of the elastic elements 3 may also be other possible numbers, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0112] The elastic element may be a spring or other possible elastic elements, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0113] Figure 7 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the display module 100 at another viewing angle after the explosion is released, Figure 8 yes Figure 7The sectional view of the display module 100 at the A-A position, Figure 9 is Figure 8 the partially enlarged view of the display module 100 at the B position. Refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the display module 100 may include a panel 4, and a gap 10 is formed between the panel 4 attached to the display area attachment surface 11 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area.

[0114] By making the panel 4 attached to the display area attachment surface 11 and forming a gap 10 between the panel 4 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area, during the process of assembling the display module 100, specifically, during the process of attaching the panel 4 to the display bottom frame 1, even if the elastic element 3 is skewed or toppled, the elastic element 3 can just be located in the gap 10 and will not be clamped between the panel 4 and the display bottom frame 1. After the display module 100 is assembled, the position of the elastic element 3 can be adjusted by shaking or other means, so that the elastic element 3 returns to the correct position and is aligned with the silk-screen position. Furthermore, it can, to a certain extent, avoid or reduce the situation that the elastic element 3 is clamped between the panel 4 and the display bottom frame 1, resulting in the elastic element 3 being in a state of always deviating from the silk-screen position, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation that the display module 100 is not sensitive enough to press or fails.

[0115] In addition, by making the panel 4 attached to the display area attachment surface 11, the display element 2 can be as close to the panel 4 as possible, making the display effect of the display element 2 better. Furthermore, when the user observes the display information of the display element 2 through the panel 4, it will be clearer.

[0116] In addition, by forming a gap 10 between the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the panel 4, the distance between the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the panel 4 can be made relatively far, thereby avoiding the situation that the user can see the surface 12 of the elastic element area through the panel 4, resulting in a poor appearance of the display module 100.

[0117] Among them, the above-mentioned panel 4 can be a glass panel with good light transmittance. Of course, the panel 4 can also be an acrylic panel, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0118] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5, the display module 100 includes a display bottom frame 1, a display element 2, an elastic element 3, and a panel 4. Among them, the display bottom frame 1 includes a display area bonding surface 11 facing the panel 4 and an elastic element area surface 12. A display mounting portion 111 is provided on the display area bonding surface 11, and an elastic element mounting portion 121 is provided on the elastic element area surface 12. The display element 2 is disposed on the display mounting portion 111, the elastic element 3 is disposed on the elastic element mounting portion 121 and abuts against the panel 4, and the elastic direction of the elastic element is the direction in which the elastic element area surface 12 faces the panel 4. See Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the panel 4 is bonded to the display area bonding surface 11 and a gap 10 is formed between the panel 4 and the elastic element area surface 12.

[0119] In this embodiment, since the display mounting portion 111 is provided on the display area bonding surface 11, the elastic element mounting portion 121 is provided on the elastic element area surface 12, the display element 2 is disposed on the display mounting portion 111, the elastic element 3 is disposed on the elastic element mounting portion 121, and since the panel 4 is bonded to the display area bonding surface 11 and a gap 10 is formed between the panel 4 and the elastic element area surface 12.

[0120] Therefore, after the display module 100 is assembled, even if the elastic element 3 is skewed or toppled, the elastic element 3 can just be located in the gap 10 and will not be clamped between the panel 4 and the display bottom frame 1. In this way, after the display module 100 is assembled, the position of the elastic element 3 can be adjusted by shaking or other means, so that the elastic element 3 is corrected and aligned with the screen printing position. Furthermore, to a certain extent, it can be avoided or reduced that the elastic element 3 is clamped between the panel 4 and the display bottom frame 1, resulting in the elastic element 3 being always in a state of deviating from the screen printing position, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation that the display module 100 is not sensitive enough or fails to press to a certain extent.

[0121] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the panel 4 is spaced relative to the elastic element area surface 12 so that a gap 10 is formed between the panel 4 and the elastic element area surface 12, and the gap allows one end of the elastic element 3 close to the panel 4 to shake therein.

[0122] Since the panel 4 is spaced relative to the elastic element area surface 12 to form a gap 10, and the gap allows one end of the elastic element 3 close to the panel 4 to shake therein, therefore, after the display module 100 is assembled, the elastic element 3 can be adjusted to be aligned with the screen printing position of the panel 4 by shaking in the gap 10, and will not be clamped between the panel 4 and the display bottom frame 1, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation that the display module 100 is not sensitive enough or fails to press to a certain extent.

[0123] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the display mounting portion 111 is a display mounting hole, and the display element 2 is disposed in the display mounting hole.

[0124] By making the display mounting portion 111 a display mounting hole and disposing the display element 2 in the display mounting hole, the display mounting hole can provide a relatively enclosed mounting environment for the display element 2, protecting the display element 2 from the external environment, and thus can improve the durability of the display element 2 to a certain extent.

[0125] In addition, by disposing the display element 2 in the display mounting hole, the volume occupied by the display element 2 in the entire display module 100 can be reduced to a certain extent, making the entire display module 100 more compact and thinner.

[0126] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the elastic element mounting portion 121 is an elastic element mounting hole, and the elastic element 3 is disposed in the elastic element mounting hole.

[0127] By making the elastic element mounting portion 121 an elastic element mounting hole and disposing the elastic element 3 in the elastic element mounting hole, the elastic element mounting hole can provide a relatively enclosed mounting environment for the elastic element 3, protecting the elastic element 3 from the external environment, and thus can improve the durability of the elastic element 3 to a certain extent.

[0128] In addition, by disposing the elastic element 3 in the elastic element mounting hole, the volume occupied by the elastic element 3 in the entire display module 100 can be reduced to a certain extent, making the entire display module 100 more compact and thinner.

[0129] There are various ways to form the gap 10 between the above-mentioned panel 4 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area. In one possible implementation, referring to Figure 5 , the surface 12 of the elastic element area is lower than the bonding surface 11 of the display area.

[0130] By making the surface 12 of the elastic element area lower than the bonding surface 11 of the display area, a stepped structure can be formed between the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the bonding surface 11 of the display area. In this way, when the bonding surface 11 of the display area is bonded to the panel 4, a gap 10 will be formed between the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the panel 4.

[0131] It can be seen that by making the surface 12 of the elastic element area lower than the bonding surface 11 of the display area, a gap 10 can be formed between the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the panel 4 when the bonding surface 11 of the display area is bonded to the panel 4. The method of forming the gap 10 is very simple and can reduce the cost of the display bottom frame 1 to a certain extent.

[0132] Among them, there are various ways to make the surface 12 of the elastic element area lower than the bonding surface 11 of the display area. For example, it can be formed by cutting and removing. Of course, it can also be completed by injection molding. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0133] In order to make the structure of the display bottom frame 1 more regular and facilitate the setting of the elastic element installation part 121 on the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the display installation part 111 on the bonding surface 11 of the display area, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 the surface 12 of the elastic element area is parallel to the bonding surface 11 of the display area.

[0134] By making the surface 12 of the elastic element area parallel to the bonding surface 11 of the display area, on the one hand, it is convenient for the processing of the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the bonding surface 11 of the display area, and thus convenient for the processing of the display bottom frame 1. On the other hand, it can make the structure of the display bottom frame 1 more regular, facilitate the setting of the elastic element installation part 121 on the surface 12 of the elastic element area, and also facilitate the setting of the display installation part 111 on the bonding surface 11 of the display area.

[0135] Among them, the parallelism between the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the bonding surface 11 of the display area can be understood in a broad sense. Specifically, the surface 12 of the elastic element area being approximately parallel to the bonding surface 11 of the display area can also be understood as the surface 12 of the elastic element area being parallel to the bonding surface 11 of the display area. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0136] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 10 , Figure 10 is Figure 5 a schematic structural diagram of the display bottom frame 1 in another perspective. A connecting surface 13 is connected between the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the bonding surface 11 of the display area, and the connecting surface 13 is perpendicular to the surface 12 of the elastic element area.

[0137] By making the connecting surface 13 perpendicular to the surface 12 of the elastic element area, compared with the inclined setting method, the stepped structure jointly formed by the surface 12 of the elastic element area, the connecting surface 13 and the bonding surface 11 of the display area can be made more regular. On the one hand, it is convenient for the processing of this stepped structure. On the other hand, it can also make the effective areas of the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the bonding surface 11 of the display area larger, and avoid the connecting surface 13 affecting the areas of the surface 12 of the elastic element area and the bonding surface 11 of the display area.

[0138] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 is Figure 4Schematic diagram of the structure of the panel 4 in another perspective. The panel 4 may include: a first fitting surface 41, and the first fitting surface 41 fits to the display area fitting surface 11.

[0139] By making the first fitting surface 41 fit to the display area fitting surface 11, the display element 2 can be made as close as possible to the panel 4, thereby making the display effect of the display element 2 clearer.

[0140] Among them, the shape of the above-mentioned first fitting surface 41 may be an arc surface or a flat surface, etc., as long as it matches the shape of the display area fitting surface 11, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0141] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 is Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the panel 4 in another perspective. The panel 4 may include: a second fitting surface 42, and the second fitting surface 42 is spaced opposite to the surface 12 of the elastic element area.

[0142] By making the second fitting surface 42 spaced opposite to the surface 12 of the elastic element area, a gap 10 can be formed between the second fitting surface 42 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area, and thus the situation where the elastic element 3 is clamped between the second fitting surface 42 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area can be avoided, thereby avoiding or reducing the situation of malfunction of the display module 100 being pressed to a certain extent.

[0143] There are various ways to form the gap 10 between the above-mentioned panel 4 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area. In another possible implementation manner, the second fitting surface 42 is lower than the first fitting surface 41.

[0144] By making the second fitting surface 42 lower than the first fitting surface 41, when the first fitting surface 41 fits to the display area fitting surface 11, a gap 10 can be formed between the second fitting surface 42 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area.

[0145] There are various ways to form the gap 10 between the above-mentioned panel 4 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area. In yet another possible implementation manner, the first fitting surface 41 and the second fitting surface 42 are coplanar. When the first fitting surface 41 and the second fitting surface 42 are coplanar, the surface 12 of the elastic element area can be lower than the display area fitting surface 11. In this way, a gap 10 can be formed between the second fitting surface 42 and the surface 12 of the elastic element area.

[0146] By making the first fitting surface 41 and the second fitting surface 42 coplanar, the structure of the panel 4 can be made more regular. Therefore, the processing difficulty of the panel 4 can be reduced to a certain extent.

[0147] In some embodiments, refer toFigure 9 , the width of the gap 10 is d, and d ≥ 1 mm.

[0148] Through research by the inventor, it is found that when d < 1 mm, the elastic element 3 may still be clamped between the panel 4 and the display bottom frame 1. Therefore, by making d ≥ 1 mm, the situation where the elastic element 3 is clamped between the panel 4 and the display bottom frame 1 can be avoided to a certain extent.

[0149] Specifically, d can be 1 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, or 1.3 mm, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0150] In order to avoid the display module 100 from being too large in volume and too heavy, in some embodiments, d ≤ 2 mm.

[0151] By making d ≤ 2 mm, the space occupied by the gap 10 in the entire display module 100 can be reduced to a certain extent, making the entire display module 100 small, thin, and light.

[0152] Specifically, d can be 2 mm, 1.9 mm, 1.8 mm, or 1.7 mm, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0153] In some embodiments, d = 1.5 mm. When d = 1.5 mm, it can ensure that the elastic element 3 is not clamped between the panel 4 and the display bottom frame 1 while making the width of the gap 10 as small as possible.

[0154] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 10 , the display bottom frame 1 further includes: a side wall 14, the side wall 14 is connected to the elastic element area surface 12 and has an included angle with the elastic element area surface 12, and a flange 141 is provided on the side wall 14, the flange 141 protrudes from the side wall 14 and is flush with the elastic element area surface 12.

[0155] By providing the flange 141 on the side wall 14 and making the flange 141 flush with the elastic element area surface 12, the minimum distance between the side away from the side wall 14 of the flange 141 and the elastic element mounting portion 121 can be made greater than the minimum distance between the side wall 14 and the elastic element mounting portion 121. In other words, by providing the flange 141 on the side wall 14, the elastic element mounting portion 121 can be made farther away from the edge of the display bottom frame 1, playing a role in widening the edge of the display bottom frame 1. In this way, the situation where the elastic element 3 provided on the elastic element mounting portion 121 is stuck on the clamping portion C between the elastic element mounting portion 121 and the flange 141 after being skewed can be avoided or reduced to a certain extent, and further, the possibility of the display module 100 being less sensitive or failing to press can be avoided or reduced.

[0156] In some embodiments, refer toFigure 10 The elastic element 3 is a spring. The minimum distance between the side of the flange 141 away from the side wall 14 and the elastic element mounting portion 121 is L, and L is greater than or equal to the pitch of the spring.

[0157] By making L greater than or equal to the pitch of the spring, it is possible to prevent the spring from being easily stuck on the clamping portion C between the elastic element mounting portion 121 and the flange 141 after skewing, and thus it is possible to avoid or reduce the possibility of insufficient sensitivity or failure of the pressing of the display module 100.

[0158] In some embodiments, L≥1.4 mm.

[0159] After research by the inventor, it is found that when L≥1.4 mm, it is possible to prevent the elastic element 3 from being easily stuck on the clamping portion C between the elastic element mounting portion 121 and the flange 141 after skewing, and thus it is possible to avoid or reduce the possibility of insufficient sensitivity or failure of the pressing of the display module 100.

[0160] Specifically, L can be 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm or 1.6 mm, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0161] In order to prevent L from being too large, resulting in an overly large size of the entire display bottom frame 1, in some embodiments, L≤5.4 mm.

[0162] By making L≤5.4 mm, it is possible to avoid the situation where an overly large L results in an overly large size of the display bottom frame 1 and thus an overly large size of the entire display module 100.

[0163] Specifically, L can be 5.4 mm, 5.3 mm or 4 mm, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0164] In some embodiments, L = 3.4 mm. By making L = 3.4 mm, it is possible to ensure that the size of L is neither too large nor too small, and it is possible to make the size of the display bottom frame 1 smaller while ensuring that the elastic element 3 is not easily stuck on the clamping portion C after skewing.

[0165] The embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner indoor unit 1000. Refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 includes: a housing assembly 200, and the housing assembly 200 forms an inner cavity 20.

[0166] Among them, the shape of the inner cavity 20 can be cylindrical or cuboid, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0167] In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 includes an evaporator, and the evaporator is disposed in the inner cavity 20.

[0168] By arranging an evaporator in the inner cavity 20, the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 can have a refrigeration function.

[0169] In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 includes a blower, and the blower is arranged in the inner cavity 20.

[0170] By arranging a blower in the inner cavity 20, the blower can quickly blow the cold air in the inner cavity 20 into the room, making the refrigeration effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 better.

[0171] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the housing assembly 200 includes a housing 300.

[0172] The material of the above-mentioned housing 300 can be plastic, and the shape can be cylindrical as shown in Figure 1 . Of course, the shape of the housing 300 can also be other possible shapes, and the material can also be other possible materials. This embodiment does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0173] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the housing assembly 200 includes a display module 100.

[0174] Among them, the structure of the display module 100 can be the same as that of any one of the display modules 100 in the above-mentioned embodiments, and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects. For details, please refer to the description of the display module 100 in the above-mentioned embodiments. This embodiment will not be elaborated here.

[0175] In this embodiment, since the pressing of the display module 100 is more sensitive and it is not easy to fail, based on this, when the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 includes the display module 100, the pressing of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 can be made more sensitive and the user experience is better.

[0176] It should be noted that the application of the above-mentioned display module 100 to the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 is only one possible application scenario of the display module 100 given in this embodiment. Of course, the display module 100 can also be applied to other possible scenarios such as washing machines, dishwashers or refrigerators. This embodiment does not make any limitations in this regard.
