DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but a person of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0032] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a panel component 101, the panel component 101 includes a panel 1 and a display component 2, the display component 2 is arranged on the rear side of the panel 1, and includes a circuit board 21 and a light shield 22, the circuit board 21 has a photosensitive element 211, the light shield 22 is arranged between the circuit board 21 and the panel 1, and is formed into a ring structure arranged around the photosensitive element 211.

[0034] According to the air conditioner 100 of the present embodiment, by providing a photosensor 211, it can detect the intensity of indoor light and make relevant judgments and controls based on the light intensity, thereby improving the functionality of the air conditioner 100. For example, the air conditioner 100 can convert the intensity of indoor light into an electrical signal to adjust the brightness of the air conditioner display assembly 2, thereby enhancing the display brightness of the display assembly 2 and its adaptability to the indoor light environment, thereby improving the user's visual comfort.

[0035] For example, the air conditioner 100 can be configured to adaptively adjust the display brightness of the display assembly 2 based on the information detected by the photosensor 211. In the morning, as the indoor light gradually increases, the photosensor 211 detects the change in indoor light intensity and converts the light intensity information into an electrical signal, thereby controlling the brightness of the display assembly 2 to gradually increase as the indoor light increases, so that the user can clearly view the displayed content. When evening arrives and the indoor light gradually decreases, the photosensor 211 detects the change in indoor light intensity and converts the light intensity information into a corresponding electrical signal, thereby controlling the brightness of the air conditioner display assembly 2 to gradually decrease, thereby improving the user's discomfort caused by the glare caused by excessive display brightness in low-light environments, thereby improving the user experience.

[0036] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. The air conditioner 100 can also be configured to perform other controls based on the information detected by the photosensitive element 211. For example, the air conditioner 100 can also include an atmosphere light. In this case, the air conditioner 100 can also be configured to control the turning on and off of the atmosphere light, as well as the brightness adjustment, etc., based on the information detected by the photosensitive element 211.

[0037] The present invention creatively discovers that the light emitted by the display component 2 itself may affect the intensity of the indoor light detected by the photosensitive element 211. Therefore, the present invention also creatively designs a light shield 22 structure. The light shield 22 is arranged between the circuit board 21 and the panel 1, and is formed into a ring structure arranged around the photosensitive element 211, forming a barrier that prevents the light from the display component 2 from entering the photosensitive element 211. In this way, the light emitted by the display component 2 itself is difficult to illuminate the photosensitive element 211, thereby improving the accuracy of the photosensitive element 211's perception of the indoor light intensity and enhancing the reliability of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the photosensitive element 211 refers to an element that can convert an optical signal into an electrical signal. The photosensitive element 211 can be a photodiode, a photoresistor, or the like that can detect the intensity of ambient light. The light shield 22 refers to a structural member that can be used to block direct light exposure. The material of the light shield 22 can be any opaque material, for example, rubber, polymer plastic, etc. The shape of the light shield 22 is not limited to the circular shape shown in the figure. For example, it can also be a polygonal ring structure, etc., and should be based on the purpose of being able to block the light of the display component 2 from entering the photosensitive element 211.

[0039] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the photosensitive element 211 and the light-emitting element of the air conditioner 100 and is configured to adjust the brightness of the light-emitting element according to information detected by the photosensitive element 211 .

[0040] The light-emitting element of the air conditioner 100 is not limited to any type. For example, it can be a light element on a circuit board in the display assembly 2 for displaying information or pattern lights, or it can be an ambient light or other light-emitting element. By providing a controller, the air conditioner 100 can adjust the brightness of the light-emitting element based on the detection information of the photosensor 211, thereby providing a clearer or more comfortable viewing experience for the user, thereby achieving energy saving and other benefits.

[0041] In the related art, the air conditioner display component has the limitation that the display brightness cannot be adjusted or needs to be adjusted manually. During the alternation of day and night, the indoor light environment undergoes significant changes. During the day, the indoor light is sufficient. If the brightness of the display component remains fixed, it may cause the user to have difficulty in clearly identifying the air conditioning information; at night, the indoor light is dim. If the brightness of the display component remains unchanged, it may be too glaring and even have a negative impact on the user's sleep quality. If users need to manually adjust the brightness of the display component, they may need to adjust it at least twice a day, which undoubtedly increases the cumbersomeness of use and reduces the overall user experience. By adopting the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, the user's manual adjustment is eliminated, and the user experience is optimized.

[0042] In some embodiments, the light shield 22 is sealed with at least one of the panel 1 and the circuit board 21. That is, the light shield 22 is sealed with the panel 1 only; or the light shield 22 is sealed with the circuit board 21 only; or the light shield 22 is sealed with both the panel 1 and the circuit board 21.

[0043] On the one hand, when the light shield 22 is sealed with the panel 1 and / or the circuit board 21, it can more effectively reduce the influence of the light emitted by the display component 2 itself on the light intensity detected by the photosensitive element 211, and the shading effect is better; on the other hand, when the light shield 22 is sealed with the panel 1 and the circuit board 21 respectively, the sealing makes it possible to directly or indirectly form a closed environment inside the light shield 22, preventing dust particles from adhering to the photosensitive element 211 and affecting the detection accuracy of the photosensitive element 211.

[0044] Exemplarily, a sealing fit is formed between components, such as the sealing fit between the light shield 22 and the panel 1, and another example is the sealing fit between the light shield 22 and the circuit board 21, which can be a full-circle sealing fit, and the full-circle sealing fit refers to the formation of a full circle of seal around the circumference of the photosensitive element 211; a sealing fit refers to a connection method that can form a seal, which can be either a flexible fit or a rigid fit, a direct sealing fit, or an indirect sealing fit through an intermediate piece. Exemplarily, it can be an end face abutment sealing fit, or a snap-on, plug-in or other sealing fit.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least one end of the light shield 22 close to the panel 1 is made of elastic material to elastically abut and seal with the panel 1; and / or, at least one end of the light shield 22 close to the circuit board 21 is made of elastic material to elastically abut and seal with the circuit board 21.

[0046] The light shield 22 is made of an elastic material to form an abutting seal with the panel 1 and / or circuit board 21. Compared to other rigid seals, the light shield 22 has a certain elasticity, so when it is fitted with the panel 1 and / or circuit board 21, it is compressed to form a tight fit, thereby improving the reliability of the seal. Furthermore, the use of additional elastic members for indirect sealing can be eliminated, thereby reducing the number of parts, lowering costs, and simplifying the assembly process.

[0047] For example, the elastic material may be a material having elasticity such as rubber, polyurethane, etc.

[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The display component 2 also includes a structural member 23, which is arranged between the circuit board 21 and the panel 1 and forms a plurality of reflective cavities 235 arranged at intervals. The structural member 23 has an avoidance hole 231, and the light shield 22 is passed through the avoidance hole 231.

[0049] The light shield 22 is inserted into the avoidance hole 231. This avoidance hole 231 not only provides a secure radial position for the light shield 22, but also significantly simplifies the manufacturing process. During the manufacturing process, no additional fixing structures need to be designed or installed. This design greatly reduces the number of parts required for processing, effectively improving overall production efficiency.

[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5-Figure 8 The light shield 22 includes a cylindrical portion 221 and a stopper 222. The cylindrical portion 221 is provided in the avoidance hole 231. The stopper 222 is connected to the end of the cylindrical portion 221 close to the circuit board 21 and protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 221. The stopper 222 cooperates with the structural member 23 to stop the light shield 22 relative to the structural member 23 toward the direction of the panel 1 (for example, along the Figure 5 Move in the first direction F1) shown in FIG.

[0051] During installation, the stopper 222 is engaged with the structural member 23 and is disposed on the circuit board 21. The stopper 222 abuts against the circuit board 21, limiting the direction of the light shield 22 relative to the structural member 23 toward the circuit board 21 (for example, along the Figure 5 The stopper 222 cooperates with the structure 23 to stop the light shield 22 relative to the structure 23 toward the panel 1 (for example, along the direction of the light shield 22). Figure 5The light shield 22 moves in the first direction F1 shown in FIG. 1 , so the light shield 22 is stably clamped between the circuit board 21 and the structural member 23 and cannot fall off, thereby enhancing the stability of the cooperation between the various parts.

[0052] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 The stopper 222 is made of elastic material and is formed into a ring structure, and elastically contacts and seals the circuit board 21 .

[0053] The stopper 222 is made of an elastic material and forms a resilient abutment seal with the circuit board 21. Compared to other rigid seals, the stopper 222 has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to fit tightly against the circuit board 21 through compression. This reduces loosening or light leakage caused by factors such as vibration and temperature fluctuations, thereby improving the light-blocking effect. Furthermore, the resilient abutment provides a certain degree of cushioning, protecting the circuit board 21 from external impact damage and enhancing the firmness of the stopper.

[0054] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 The cylindrical portion 221 is made of elastic material. The end of the cylindrical portion 221 close to the panel 1 (such as the expansion ring 2211 mentioned later) protrudes from the avoidance hole 231 and elastically abuts and seals with the panel 1. The cross-sectional area of ​​the avoidance hole 231 is 100 mm along the direction from the circuit board 21 to the panel 1 (such as along the direction from the circuit board 21 to the panel 1). Figure 5 The gap G between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 221 and the avoidance hole 231 increases gradually along the direction from the circuit board 21 to the panel 1 (for example, along Figure 5 The first direction F1) shown in FIG gradually increases.

[0055] Before installation, the gap between the outer circumference of the cylindrical portion 221 and the avoidance hole 231 gradually increases along the direction from the circuit board 21 to the panel 1. By setting this gap, the deformation caused by the contact between the cylindrical portion 221 and the panel 1 after installation is accommodated; so that the cross-sectional area of ​​the space formed inside the cylindrical portion 221 will not be reduced in the circumferential direction due to deformation, thereby increasing the angle at which light enters the cylindrical portion 221, and enhancing the reliability of the photosensitive element 211 in detecting indoor light.

[0056] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7-Figure 8 The end of the cylindrical portion 221 away from the stop portion 222 is formed into a flared ring 2211, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the flared ring 2211 is along the direction away from the stop portion 222 (for example, along Figure 5The first direction F1 shown in FIG2 gradually increases. The flared ring 2211 can be the end of the cylindrical portion 221 close to the panel 1. When the end of the cylindrical portion 221 close to the panel 1 protrudes from the avoidance hole 231 and elastically abuts and seals with the panel 1, the cylindrical portion 221 uses the flared ring 2211 to elastically abut and seal with the panel 1. Based on the shape design of the flared ring 2211, the abutment seal can be more stable and reliable.

[0057] The end of the cylindrical portion 221 away from the stop portion 222 is designed as a flared ring 2211 structure. This design not only promotes more indoor light to enter the light shield 22, but also significantly improves the effective blocking of the light emission of the display component 2 itself, thereby ensuring the high accuracy of the photosensitive element 211 in detecting the indoor light intensity; if the circuit board 21 also has an infrared receiver 212 and is arranged in the light shield 22, the flared ring 2211 structure can expand the receiver's receiving range for infrared signals, so that the receiver can effectively receive signals even at a certain distance or angle deviation.

[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 The side of the structural member 23 close to the circuit board 21 has a sinking groove 232, the sinking groove 232 is arranged around the avoidance hole 231, and the stopper 222 is an elastic material member and is arranged in a direction toward the circuit board 21 (for example, along Figure 5 The second direction F2 shown in FIG. 2 is passed through the avoidance hole 231 by elastic deformation and then fitted into the sink 232 .

[0059] The stopper 222 is made of elastic material and is elastically deformed to pass through the avoidance hole 231 and then fit into the sink 232, so that it can be installed along the direction from the panel 1 to the circuit board 21 during installation, solving the problem that the diameter of the flared ring 2211 is large and it is difficult to install from the circuit board 21 to the panel 1 (for example, along the direction from the panel 1 to the circuit board 21). Figure 5 When the cross-sectional area of ​​the avoidance hole 231 is along the direction from the circuit board 21 to the panel 1 (for example, along Figure 5 When the first direction F1 shown in FIG2 gradually increases, the avoidance hole 231 can guide the installation of the stopper 222 .

[0060] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 The outer peripheral surface of the stopper 222 is formed in a direction from the panel 1 to the circuit board 21 (for example, along Figure 5 The guide surface 2221 extends obliquely toward the direction close to the central axis L of the light shield 22 (the second direction F2 shown in FIG).

[0061] The outer surface of the stopper 222 forms a guide surface 2221. During assembly, the guide surface 2221 guides the light shield 22 for easier and more accurate installation. Because the guide surface 2221 is inclined, it acts as a natural guide path, reducing friction and collisions between components and improving assembly efficiency. In some cases, the design of the guide surface 2221 can also enhance the stability of the stopper 222 and its surrounding structure. By properly designing the angle and shape of the guide surface 2221, it can disperse and resist external forces from various directions, thereby increasing the service life of the entire structure.

[0062] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The air conditioner 100 is an air conditioning cabinet whose length direction extends vertically (i.e., up and down). The structural member 23 includes a main body 233 and a protruding portion 234. The protruding portion 234 protrudes upward from the upper end of the main body 233, and the avoidance hole 231 passes through the protruding portion 234.

[0063] Compared with the solution of setting an avoidance hole 231 on the main body 233, on the one hand, the space of the reflective cavity 235 on the main body 233 is occupied, and the overall aesthetics is reduced; on the other hand, from the perspective of production and processing, the avoidance hole 231 is set on the main body 233, and the corresponding diffusion membrane 24 needs to have a hole opened, which increases the production and processing process and reduces production efficiency.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3-Figure 5 The display assembly 2 also includes a diffuser film 24, which is disposed on the side of the structural member 23 closest to the panel 1 and covers at least a portion of the reflective cavity 235. The diffuser film 24 has a relief notch 241 for circumventing the light shield 22. Furthermore, the relief notch 241 is formed as a concave notch extending from the edge of the diffuser film 24 toward its center. This facilitates machining and allows the structural member 23, which includes the main body 233 and the protrusion 234, to be more compact. Specifically, the protrusion 234 does not need to be positioned away from the main body 233 to ensure the integrity of the diffuser film 24.

[0065] For example, the diffusion film 24 may have a hollowed-out pattern area, and the light from the reflective cavity 235 is emitted through the pattern area to display a corresponding pattern. In addition, in some examples, the diffusion film 24 may also improve the uniformity of light in the display assembly 2.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 The circuit board 21 also has an infrared receiver 212 , and the light shield 22 is also arranged around the infrared receiver 212 .

[0067] The surround design of the light shield 22 can reduce the interference of external light, so that the infrared receiver 212 can be more focused on receiving effective signals from devices such as remote controls, thereby improving the accuracy of signal reception; by improving the accuracy of signal reception, users can operate the air conditioner 100 more smoothly through devices such as remote controls, thereby enhancing the user experience; the light shield 22 can also play a certain protective role for the infrared receiver 212, improving its erosion by external environments such as dust and water vapor, and extending its service life.

[0068] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 The air conditioner 100 further includes a panel bracket 3 , the panel 1 is mounted on the front side of the panel bracket 3 , the panel bracket 3 has a mounting opening 31 , the display assembly 2 includes a display box 25 , the display box 25 is mounted on the panel bracket 3 and is located at the mounting opening 31 .

[0069] The panel bracket 3 provides a stable support for the installation of the panel 1, so that the entire panel 1 can be firmly installed on the panel bracket 3 and is not prone to loosening or deformation. For example, the panel bracket 3 and the panel 1 can be connected by bonding, snapping, etc.; by designing the installation opening 31, the display box 25 and other display components 2 can be easily installed on the panel bracket 3, reducing the difficulty and cost of assembly; the precise position and size of the installation opening 31 ensure that the display box 25 can be accurately positioned in the display area reserved by the panel 1.

[0070] Below, refer to the attached Figures 1-8 , describing an air conditioner 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] The air conditioner 100 includes: a panel 1, a display assembly 2 and a panel bracket 3. The panel 1 is mounted on the front side of the panel bracket 3. The panel bracket 3 has a mounting opening 31. The display assembly 2 is provided on the rear side of the panel 1 and includes a circuit board 21, a light shield 22, a structural member 23, a diffusion film 24 and a display box 25. The display box 25 is mounted on the panel bracket 3 and is located at the mounting opening 31. Figure 5 The circuit board 21 has a photosensor 211 and an infrared receiver 212 . The light shield 22 is disposed between the circuit board 21 and the panel 1 and is formed into a ring structure surrounding the photosensor 211 . The light shield 22 is also disposed around the infrared receiver 212 .

[0072] The air conditioner 100 is a cabinet air conditioner extending vertically in its longitudinal direction. A structural member 23 is disposed between the circuit board 21 and the panel 1. The structural member 23 includes a main body 233 and a protruding portion 234. The main body 233 is formed with a plurality of spaced-apart reflective cavities 235. The protruding portion 234 protrudes upward from the upper end of the main body 233. A clearance hole 231 extends through the protruding portion 234, and the light shield 22 is disposed within the clearance hole 231. A diffuser film 24 is disposed on the side of the structural member 23 near the panel 1 and covers at least a portion of the reflective cavities 235. The diffuser film 24 has a clearance notch 241 for circumventing the light shield 22. Furthermore, the clearance notch 241 is formed as a concave notch extending from the edge of the diffuser film 24 toward its center.

[0073] The light shield 22 is sealed against the panel 1 and the circuit board 21, respectively. The light shield 22 is entirely made of an elastic material, providing elastic abutment and sealing against the panel 1 and the circuit board 21. The light shield 22 includes a cylindrical portion 221 and a stopper 222. The cylindrical portion 221 is inserted into the avoidance hole 231. The stopper 222 is connected to the end of the cylindrical portion 221 closest to the circuit board 21 and protrudes from the outer circumference of the cylindrical portion 221. The stopper 222 engages with the structural member 23 to prevent the light shield 22 from moving relative to the structural member 23 toward the panel 1.

[0074] The stopper portion 222 is formed into an annular structure and elastically abuts and seals against the circuit board 21. The end of the cylindrical portion 221, away from the stopper portion 222, is formed into a flared ring 2211. The cross-sectional area of ​​the flared ring 2211 gradually increases in the direction away from the stopper portion 222. The cylindrical portion 221 elastically abuts and seals against the panel 1 via the flared ring 2211.
