Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to a panel assembly, an air conditioning indoor unit applying the panel assembly, and an air conditioner applying the air conditioning indoor unit. Background Art

[0002] Some existing air conditioners achieve their display function by fixing the display box assembly to the front panel. When users remove the air inlet panel for cleaning, they need to disconnect the display box cover assembly's connection cable. To prevent water from entering during cleaning, they even have to remove the entire display box assembly, which is extremely inconvenient. Furthermore, since the display box assembly is installed inside the front panel, the gap is difficult to control, resulting in light leakage between the display module and the front panel, affecting the clarity of the air conditioner's display information and the touch feel.

[0003] Therefore, a more optimized arrangement of the display box components needs to be considered. Utility Model Content

[0008] As can be seen from the above scheme, the panel assembly of the present invention installs one end of the display box assembly on the panel body, and the end of the display box assembly facing away from the panel body is detachably fastened to the panel. The panel can be disassembled or repaired separately without removing the display box assembly, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0009] In a further solution, one of the first snap-fit structure and the second snap-fit structure is a spring buckle, and the other of the first snap-fit structure and the second snap-fit structure is a convex rib.

[0010] It can be seen that the first buckle structure and the second buckle structure use spring buckles and convex ribs, and utilize the elasticity of the spring buckles to facilitate the buckling and separation of the buckles.

[0011] In a further solution, the spring buckle is provided with a first forcing slope and a first locking slope, and the rib is provided with a second forcing slope and a second locking slope. In the insertion direction of the spring buckle, the first forcing slope is located in front of the first locking slope, and the second locking slope is located in front of the second forcing slope; when the spring buckle is inserted, the first forcing slope and the second forcing slope cooperate and force the spring buckle to deform; when the spring buckle is buckled with the rib, the first locking slope cooperates with the second locking slope to prevent the spring buckle from falling out.

[0012] It can be seen that the spring buckle is provided with a first forcing inclined surface and a first locking inclined surface, and the convex rib is provided with a second forcing inclined surface and a second locking inclined surface, which can facilitate the buckling and disengaging operations of the spring buckle and the convex rib.

[0022] It can be seen that by setting the first surrounding wall on the base and setting the groove on the box cover, the first surrounding wall is inserted into the groove and abuts the bottom of the groove. The first surrounding wall fits tightly with the box cover and has good sealing performance. There is no need to use aluminum foil or sponge for sealing to solve the problem of water ingress.

[0023] In a further solution, the base is provided with an elastic member, the elastic member abuts against the display circuit module, and the elastic member deforms along the direction from the box cover to the bottom surface of the base.

[0024] It can be seen that by arranging an elastic member on the base, the position of the display circuit module between the box cover and the bottom surface of the base can be automatically adjusted to ensure that the display circuit module and the box cover are always in a tightly fitted state, thereby improving the touch sensitivity and feel of the display circuit module.

[0025] In a further solution, the elastic member includes a fixing portion, a first horizontal plate segment, a second horizontal plate segment and a bent plate segment, the fixing portion protrudes from the bottom surface of the base toward the box cover, the first end of the first horizontal plate segment is connected to the fixing portion, the first end of the bent plate segment is connected to the second end of the first horizontal plate segment, and the second end of the bent plate segment is connected to the first end of the second horizontal plate segment; relative to the bottom surface of the base, the second horizontal plate segment is higher than the first horizontal plate segment.

[0026] It can be seen that the elastic member can ensure the strength and elasticity of the elastic member by providing the fixing portion, the first horizontal plate segment, the second horizontal plate segment and the bent plate segment.

[0027] In a further solution, the first horizontal plate section is arranged at an angle of 140 degrees to 160 degrees to the bent plate section, and the second horizontal plate section is arranged at an angle of 130 degrees to 170 degrees to the bent plate section.

[0028] It can be seen that the first horizontal plate segment and the bent plate segment are arranged at an angle of 140 to 160 degrees, and the second horizontal plate segment and the bent plate segment are arranged at an angle of 130 to 170 degrees, which can optimize the strength and elasticity of the elastic member.

[0029] In a further solution, the fixing portion is provided with an oblique bracing bar, which extends in a direction away from the second horizontal plate segment.

[0031] In a further solution, the base is further provided with a limit spring buckle, which cooperates with the elastic member to limit the displacement of the display circuit module between the base and the box cover.

[0032] It can be seen that by providing a limiting spring buckle in cooperation with the elastic member to limit the displacement of the display circuit module between the base and the box cover, installation can be facilitated.

[0033] In order to achieve the second purpose mentioned above, the air-conditioning indoor unit provided by the present invention is provided with a panel assembly, and the panel assembly adopts the above-mentioned panel assembly.
