[0028] In the related art, some air conditioners are provided with a mood light component. However, when the mood light component is installed inside the air conditioner, there is no obstruction at the lower part of the mood light component, and there is a problem of light leakage after the mood light is turned on. The leaked light of the mood light will form obvious light spots or directly shine on the ground with serious reflection.
[0029] The present utility model proposes an air conditioner panel, which is applied to an air conditioner and can solve the problem of light leakage after the mood light is turned on.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner panel 10 includes a panel main body 100, a mounting structure 200, a mood light 300, and a light homogenizing plate 400; the panel main body 100 has a front side 110 and a rear side 120 that are opposite to each other; the mounting structure 200 is disposed on the rear side 120 of the panel main body 100, and the mounting structure 200 is provided with a light transmission opening 210; the mood light 300 is disposed on the mounting structure 200 and is located above the light transmission opening 210; the light homogenizing plate 400 is disposed on the mounting structure 200 and is located below the light transmission opening 210, and the light homogenizing plate 400 covers the light transmission opening 210.
[0031] Specifically, the panel main body 100 is the front panel of the air conditioner. The panel main body 100 has a front side 110 facing the user and a rear side 120 facing the inside of the air conditioner. This front panel can be the front panel of a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit or the front panel of a floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit, and no specific limitation is made thereto. The mounting structure 200 is disposed on the rear side 120 of the panel main body 100 and is mainly used for mounting the mood light 300 and the light homogenizing plate 400. The mounting structure 200 is provided with a light transmission opening 210, and the light transmission opening 210 is an opening formed on the mounting structure 200 and penetrating in the up and down directions. Both the mood light 300 and the light homogenizing plate 400 are mounted on the mounting structure 200 and are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the light transmission opening 210. The light-emitting side of the mood light 300 is disposed corresponding to the light transmission opening 210. When the mood light 300 emits light, the light emitted by the mood light 300 can pass through the light transmission opening 210 and penetrate from the panel main body 100, or penetrate from below the panel main body 100, or a light transmission window is provided on the panel, and the light emitted by the mood light 300 passes through the light transmission window and penetrates, so that the user can see the light emitted by the mood light 300.
[0032] The ambient light 300 is electrically connected to the control module in the air conditioner that uses it. The ambient light 300 can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the air conditioner that uses it, making its appearance more stylish and full of a sense of technology. In the night or in a dimly lit environment, the ambient light 300 can create a unique visual effect, making the air conditioner become a part of the indoor decoration. In the night or when the light is insufficient, the ambient light 300 can provide a certain lighting function, helping users to more clearly see the operation interface of the air conditioner and the surrounding environment, thus avoiding misoperations or safety hazards caused by unclear vision. At the same time, through lights of different colors, the ambient light 300 can create different atmospheres, such as warm, romantic, science fiction, etc., to meet the different needs of users for the indoor environment.
[0033] On the other hand, the ambient light 300 can also be used as an indicator light. For example, when the air conditioner is in the working state, adjusting the temperature or wind speed, lights of different colors are used to prompt the user of the current working state or setting situation. In addition, the ambient light 300 can also be used for fault indication or maintenance reminder. At the same time, with the continuous development of science and technology, the ambient light 300 is also playing an increasingly important role in human-computer interaction. For example, users can control the color and brightness of the ambient light 300 through a mobile phone APP or a remote control to achieve personalized settings. For example, the ambient light 300 can be personalized according to the user's preferences and needs, such as adjusting the color and brightness of the light to adapt to different indoor environments and atmospheres. This helps to improve the user's comfort and satisfaction, making the air conditioner not only a device for cooling or heating, but also a life partner that can bring a pleasant experience to users.
[0034] Furthermore, the ambient light 300 can also be used as an interaction medium between the air conditioner and the user, and the user's operations or instructions are feedback through the changes in the lights. On another aspect, the ambient light 300 can also express the user's emotional state or mood changes through different colors and lighting effects. For example, when celebrating a festival or a special occasion, users can choose bright and cheerful light colors to create a festive atmosphere; when resting or relaxing, they can choose soft and warm light colors to create a comfortable sleeping environment.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, the light homogenizing plate 400 is arranged below the light transmissive opening 210 and covers the light transmissive opening 210. That is to say, the light homogenizing plate 400 is arranged on the light output path of the ambient light 300. The light homogenizing plate 400 is configured with a transparent material, and the light emitted by the ambient light 300 needs to pass through the light homogenizing plate 400 first, and then penetrate from the panel body 100, or penetrate from below the panel body 100, or a light transmissive window is provided on the panel, and the light emitted by the ambient light 300 passes through the light transmissive window, so that the user can see the light emitted by the ambient light 300. The light homogenizing plate 400 converts non-uniform light into a uniform light distribution through its internal special structure (such as a prism array or light scattering particles at the micron level). When light enters the light homogenizing plate 400, after multiple reflections, refractions and scatterings, the light output from the transmission surface finally has a consistent brightness, avoiding phenomena such as light spots and dark areas. At the same time, the light homogenizing plate 400 with a high light transmittance can also significantly improve the brightness, so it has an energy-saving effect, and its uniform light distribution also reduces the waste of light energy. In this way, when the ambient light 300 component is installed in the air conditioner, it can effectively avoid the serious light leakage after the ambient light 300 is turned on, and the problem that the light of the ambient light 300 leaks out to form obvious light spots or directly shines on the ground with serious reflection.
[0036] The technical solution of the present utility model is to provide a light homogenizing plate 400 on the light output path of the ambient light 300, that is, below the ambient light 300, so that the light emitted by the ambient light 300 needs to pass through the light homogenizing plate 400 first, and then penetrate from the panel body 100, or penetrate from below the panel body 100, or a light transmissive window is provided on the panel, and the light emitted by the ambient light 300 passes through the light transmissive window, and then it can be seen by the user. The light homogenizing plate 400 converts non-uniform light into a uniform light distribution through its internal special structure (such as a prism array or light scattering particles at the micron level). When light enters the light homogenizing plate 400, after multiple reflections, refractions and scatterings, the light output from the transmission surface finally has a consistent brightness, avoiding phenomena such as light spots and dark areas. In this way, when the ambient light 300 component is installed in the air conditioner, it can effectively avoid the serious light leakage after the ambient light 300 is turned on, and the problem that the light of the ambient light 300 leaks out to form obvious light spots or directly shines on the ground with serious reflection.

Specifically, to ensure the stability of the installation of the light homogenizing plate 400, the light homogenizing plate 400 is connected to the mounting structure 200 through a fastener 600, and the fastener 600 can be a screw. Moreover, the light homogenizing plate 400 and the mounting structure 200 are detachably connected, which is convenient for the installation and later maintenance and replacement of the light homogenizing plate 400.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 andFigure 4 , Further, limiting hooks 220 are provided on both opposite sides of the mounting structure 200. A slot 230 for inserting the light homogenizing plate 400 is formed between the limiting hooks 220 and the mounting structure 200. With such a setting, when installing the light homogenizing plate 400, it is first inserted into the slot 230, and then the light homogenizing plate 400 is connected and fixed by the fastener 600. The setting of the limiting hooks 220 forms a slot 230 that can limit the light homogenizing plate 400 in the vertical direction.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 4 , Even further, limiting ribs 240 are provided on both opposite sides of the mounting structure 200. The light homogenizing plate 400 is arranged between the limiting ribs 240 on both opposite sides of the mounting structure 200. The limiting ribs 240 can abut against the side edges of the light homogenizing plate 400 to limit the light homogenizing plate 400 in the width direction of the panel main body 100.
[0040] It should be noted that the limiting hooks 220 and the limiting ribs 240 can be both provided on both opposite sides of the mounting structure 200, or either one can be provided, and no specific limitation is made thereto.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , In an embodiment, the ambient light 300 is snap-fitted to the mounting structure 200. Specifically, the ambient light 300 is snap-fitted to the mounting structure 200 by a snap-fitting method. The installation method is simple and easy to operate, and can improve the installation efficiency of the ambient light 300. Further, snap fasteners 500 are provided on both opposite sides of the mounting structure 200. The snap fasteners 500 are located above the mounting structure 200. A limiting block 250 protrudes from the upper surface of the mounting structure 200. An installation position for limiting and installing the ambient light 300 is formed between the snap fasteners 500 and the limiting block 250 on both opposite sides of the mounting structure 200. In this way, the limiting is carried out by the abutment of the limiting block 250 against the rear side 120 of the ambient light 300, and the snap fasteners 500 on both opposite sides of the mounting structure 200 abut against both opposite sides of the ambient light 300 for limiting, so as to snap the ambient light 300 as a whole into the installation position of the mounting structure 200.
[0042] In an embodiment, the material of the light homogenizing plate 400 is a light-transmitting material. Configuring the material of the light homogenizing plate 400 as a light-transmitting material can better allow the light emitted by the ambient light 300 to pass through. Among them, the light-transmitting material is any one of PP, PC, PVC, PET, PMMA or PSF. These materials have characteristics such as high light transmittance, high strength, high heat resistance and good weather resistance.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 2, in one embodiment, the light-emitting side of the ambient light 300 is arranged facing the front side 110 of the panel body 100. Specifically, arranging the light-emitting side of the ambient light 300 facing the front side 110 of the panel body 100 facilitates the light emitted by the ambient light 300 to be irradiated so that the user can see it. Further, the mounting structure 200 has a guiding inclined surface 260, and the guiding inclined surface 260 extends obliquely downward in the direction from the front side 110 to the rear side 120 of the panel body 100, and the light-emitting side of the ambient light 300 abuts against the guiding inclined surface 260.
