DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which 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 be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0051] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application 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 application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0052] Air conditioners in the related art have air outlets around or on the panel. Air heated by the air conditioner is blown out through the outlets to regulate the ambient temperature. However, the panel often "sweats," forming droplets that affect user experience. After research, the applicant discovered that when the panel is mounted to the face frame via a panel bracket, the panel bracket is relatively close to the air outlet duct. When the cold air from the outlet duct is at a lower temperature, the panel bracket's temperature also drops. When the panel is directly attached to such a low-temperature panel bracket, heat exchange between the two is inevitable, causing the panel temperature to drop. When the panel temperature drops below the dew point of the indoor air, water vapor in the air condenses into droplets on the panel surface upon encountering the cold panel, causing the "sweating" phenomenon. These droplets accumulate and drip, causing damage to furniture beneath the panel. Furthermore, if the display module is mounted on the panel, these droplets may obscure the displayed content, affecting the user's normal experience. More seriously, if water droplets penetrate into the circuit board of the display module, it will directly cause damage to the display module and greatly reduce its reliability.

[0053] In order to solve one of the above technical problems, the present application proposes a panel component 100, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the panel component 100 includes: a panel 11, a panel bracket 12 and a thermal insulation part 13. The panel bracket 12 is arranged on the inner side of the panel 11 and supports the panel 11; the thermal insulation part 13 is arranged between the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11.

[0054] Therefore, by adding a thermal insulation part 13 between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12, the amount of cold transferred from the panel bracket 12 to the panel 11 is reduced, thereby improving the condensation phenomenon caused by the temperature drop of the panel 11, solving the problem of dripping water damaging the fixture due to condensation, and solving the problem of affecting the display of the display module.

[0055] In addition, the introduction of the thermal insulation part 13 also reduces the heat transferred from the indoor air to the panel bracket 12 through the panel 11, improves the impact of the high temperature of the panel bracket 12 on the air outlet temperature, and makes the actual air outlet temperature closer to the set air outlet temperature, thereby improving the user's overall usage experience.

[0056] In summary, according to the panel component 100 proposed in the embodiment of the present application, by adding a thermal insulation part 13 between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12, the condensation phenomenon on the panel 11 is improved, the durability of the equipment used by the panel component 100 is improved, and the user experience is improved.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the thermal insulation part 13 should be understood as a component with thermal insulation functions.

[0058] For example, the heat-insulating portion 13 may include a heat-insulating material 13a (e.g. Figure 2 As shown), the functional body 131 of the thermal insulation material piece 13a to realize the thermal insulation function may include at least one of sponge and flannel. For example, the thermal insulation material piece 13a may be made of sponge material as a whole, or may be made of flannel material as a whole.

[0059] Alternatively, the heat-insulating portion 13 may include a heat-insulating cavity 13b (e.g. Figure 22 As shown), in this case, the use of the thermal insulation material piece 13a can be omitted. For example, the panel bracket 12 can be partially recessed in a direction away from the panel 11 to form a cavity between the panel 11 as a thermal insulation cavity 13b.

[0060] Alternatively, illustratively, the thermal insulation part 13 may include both the thermal insulation material piece 13a and the thermal insulation cavity 13b, but the thermal insulation material piece 13a is not arranged in the thermal insulation cavity 13b, so that the thermal insulation cavity 13b is insulated by the cavity.

[0061] The thermal insulation portion 13 described in the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, can be either a thermal insulation material piece 13a or a thermal insulation cavity 13b.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the location of the thermal insulation part 13 is not limited, and the position can be adjusted accordingly according to relevant structures such as the air outlet duct and the air outlet, so as to reduce the heat transfer between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the thermal insulation part 13 is not limited to the shape shown in the figure; the number of thermal insulation parts 13 is not limited to the number shown in the figure, and can be specifically set according to the actual position and thermal insulation requirements.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1-Figure 2 The panel bracket 12 includes an air duct wall 123, and an air outlet duct 22 is formed on the side of the air duct wall 123 away from the panel 11 (combined with Figure 14 ), that is, at least a portion of the panel bracket 12 is used to participate in defining the air outlet duct 22. At least a portion of the thermal insulation portion 13 is disposed corresponding to the duct wall 123, so that at least a portion of the thermal insulation portion 13 is disposed between the duct wall 123 and the panel 11.

[0065] Since the temperature of the cold air blown out by the air outlet duct 22 is relatively low, the panel bracket 12 is formed with a duct wall 123, and its temperature is also reduced accordingly. Since at least part of the thermal insulation part 13 is arranged corresponding to the duct wall 123, the cold air is more effectively blocked from being transferred from the panel bracket 12 to the panel 11, thereby more effectively improving the condensation phenomenon caused by the low temperature of the panel 11.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 is a front view of the panel component 100, Figure 3 The front view of the panel component 100 after the panel 11 is hidden is shown. The panel component 100 is a rectangular plate. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the two thermal insulation parts 13 set on the middle panel bracket 12, the thermal insulation part 13 is formed into a long strip extending along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100, and the thermal insulation parts 13 are respectively provided at the edge positions on both sides in the width direction F2 of the panel component 100.

[0067] The panel component 100 is a rectangular plate, and the thermal insulation portion 13 is formed in a long strip form adapted to the length direction of the panel component 100, which is conducive to separating the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 over a larger range, thereby reducing the transfer of cold energy.

[0068] In some examples, the panel 11 has a display area, the panel bracket 12 has a display box installation area, and the thermal insulation portion 13 is located on both sides of the display box installation area along the width direction F2 of the panel, thereby avoiding the display box installation area and reducing the amount of cold transferred to the display box installation area, thereby improving the reliability of the display module installed in the display box installation area.

[0069] In some embodiments, the edge areas on both sides of the width of the panel bracket 12 have air duct walls 123. In this way, the edge areas on both sides of the width of the panel 11 are prone to condensation problems. By respectively setting thermal insulation parts 13 on the edge areas on both sides of the width, the condensation problem in the edge areas on both sides of the width of the panel 11 can be better improved.

[0070] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The length L1 of at least one thermal insulation part 13 exceeds 80% of the length L2 of the panel 11. Therefore, the length L1 of the thermal insulation part 13 is longer, which can reduce the number of thermal insulation parts 13 used and is conducive to the overall rapid installation of the thermal insulation part 13.

[0071] In some embodiments, at least one thermal insulation portion 13 includes a plurality of sub-insulation components arranged at intervals along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100 (this embodiment is not shown in the figure). As a result, the length of the sub-insulation components is relatively short, and the installation accuracy of each sub-insulation component is easy to control. In addition, the position of each sub-insulation component can be selected according to the structural characteristics of the panel bracket 12 and the distribution characteristics of other structural components (such as double-sided tape 14) to achieve an avoidance effect.

[0072] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 , only one thermal insulation portion 13 is provided at each edge of the panel member 100 in the width direction F2, and the length L1 of the thermal insulation portion 13 exceeds 80% of the length L2 of the panel 11. Therefore, if the panel member 100 is a rectangular plate, the thermal insulation portion 13 is formed in a long strip to fit the panel member 100. If there is only one thermal insulation portion 13 in the length direction F1 of the panel member 100, and the length of the thermal insulation portion 13 exceeds 80% of the length of the panel 11, this helps reduce the cost of the thermal insulation portion 13 while ensuring a good thermal insulation effect.

[0073] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4-Figure 5 The thermal insulation material piece 13a includes a functional body 131 and an adhesive layer 132. The thickness side surfaces of the functional body 131 face the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11 respectively. The adhesive layer 132 is provided on the thickness side surfaces of the functional body 131 to be bonded to the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11 respectively. In other words, the side surface of the adhesive layer 132 facing the panel bracket 12 is bonded to the panel bracket 12 via the adhesive layer 132, and the side surface of the adhesive layer 132 facing the panel 11 is bonded to the panel 11 via the adhesive layer 132.

[0074] The thermal insulation material piece 13a is composed of a functional body 131 and a back adhesive layer 132. The back adhesive layer 132 is arranged on the two side surfaces of the functional body 131, which facilitates the bonding of the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11, improves the assembly efficiency and connection reliability, enhances the sealing between the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11, and improves the problem of the thermal insulation material piece 13a being out of the designed position, so that the thermal insulation material piece 13a can be stably located at the position where thermal insulation is required, thereby achieving a more reliable thermal insulation effect and improving the condensation problem of the panel 11.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the fixation of the thermal insulation material piece 13a is not limited to bonding through the adhesive layer 132. For example, it can also be fixed by being clamped between the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11, or it can also be fixed by gluing other adhesive strips externally, etc.

[0076] In some embodiments, reference Figures 6-10 A first groove 15 is formed on at least one of the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11 , and the thermal insulation material piece 13 a is embedded in the first groove 15 .

[0077] A first groove 15 is formed on at least one of the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11, that is, the first groove 15 can be set on the panel bracket 12 or on the panel 11, or both the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11 have the first groove 15 to accommodate the thermal insulation material piece 13a.

[0078] The provision of the first groove 15, on the one hand, secures the thermal insulation material 13a within the first groove 15, improving the installation stability of the thermal insulation material 13a and enabling the thermal insulation material 13a to be stably positioned where thermal insulation is required, providing a more reliable thermal insulation effect and improving the condensation problem of the panel 11. Furthermore, the provision of the first groove 15 serves as a positioning function during installation of the thermal insulation material 13a, improving installation consistency and efficiency. Furthermore, when the first groove 15 is provided on the panel bracket 12, the processing flow of the panel 11 can be simplified, allowing the panel 11 to achieve a wider range of design possibilities.

[0079] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6-Figure 7 The panel component 100 further includes a double-sided tape 14 , which is bonded between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 .

[0080] The double-sided adhesive tape 14 has double-sided adhesive properties, and can securely and firmly connect the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11 together, and is easy to assemble. For example, during the assembly process of the double-sided adhesive tape 14, the panel 11 can be securely and permanently fixed to the panel bracket 12 after being held under pressure for a period of time and then cooled.

[0081] The panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 are bonded together by double-sided tape 14. Compared with screws, snap fixation, welding, soldering, gluing, etc., there is no need to reserve holes in the panel 11 and / or the panel bracket 12 or set other connection structures, which simplifies the structural design of the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 and facilitates processing and assembly.

[0082] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the double-sided tape 14 may be replaced by gluing, screw fixing, snap fixing, welding, or other connection methods. Alternatively, the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 may be connected by both the double-sided tape 14 and other processes, such as screw connection. In this case, the product reduces the number of screws used or the number of screw column processing, thereby reducing the number of processed parts to a certain extent and simplifying the processing and assembly process.

[0083] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The panel component 100 is a rectangular plate, and the thermal insulation part 13 is formed into a long strip extending along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100. The thermal insulation part 13 is provided with a plurality of notches 133 spaced apart along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100, and the double-sided tape 14 includes a first double-sided tape 141 arranged in the notch 133.

[0084] The first double-sided tape 141 is arranged in a plurality of gaps 133 spaced apart on the thermal insulation part 13, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12, making the connection between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 more secure, and reducing the possibility of the panel 11 not being tightly fitted and having appearance gaps.

[0085] Therefore, the panel component 100 is provided with double-sided tape 14, and the double-sided tape 14 structure and at least part of the thermal insulation part 13 can be arranged alternately at intervals, thereby avoiding condensation caused by the lack of thermal insulation material 13a for a long distance or the problem of gaps in the panel 11 caused by the lack of double-sided tape 14 for a long distance.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, the shape and position of the notch 133 are not limited to those shown in the figure.

[0087] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The notch 133 is formed as an open notch that passes through the edge of one side of the thermal insulation portion 13 close to the panel 11.

[0088] Therefore, by setting the notch 133 as an open notch that passes through the edge of one side of the thermal insulation part 13 close to the panel 11, on the one hand, the notch 133 is close to the edge of one side of the panel 11, and the double-sided tape 14 is set here to make the peripheral connection between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 more secure, less likely to warp and generate gaps, thereby improving the sealing of the panel component 100; in addition, the open notch (having only three or two sides) is easier to process and produce than the closed notch (surrounded by four sides), thereby improving production efficiency.

[0089] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The notch 133 is formed as a long strip area extending along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100 , and the first double-sided tape 141 is formed as a long strip of adhesive that matches the shape of the notch 133 .

[0090] Thus, the first double-sided tape 141 is formed into a long strip of adhesive that matches the shape of the notch 133. The long strip of adhesive allows the connection to have a certain length. Compared with scattered point connections, the connection reliability is better and the number of adhesives used is less, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0091] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 or Figure 11When the panel component 100 is a rectangular plate, the thermal insulation part 13 is formed in a long strip form extending along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100, and the thermal insulation parts 13 are respectively provided at the edge positions on both sides in the width direction F2 of the panel component 100, the double-sided tape 14 includes: a second double-sided tape 142, and the second double-sided tape 142 is provided on one side of the thermal insulation part 13 close to the center of the panel 11.

[0092] Thus, by providing the second double-sided tape 142 on one side of the thermal insulation portion 13 close to the center of the panel 11, the connection between the center of the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 is more firmly established. In addition, in some examples, if the first double-sided tape 141 and the second double-sided tape 142 are used simultaneously, it can not only make the peripheral connection between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 more firmly established, less likely to warp or form gaps, but also make the connection between the center of the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 more firmly established, less likely to form hollows, thereby improving the reliability and sealing of the panel component 100.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, the arrangement of the second double-sided tape 142 is not limited to the situation shown in the figure. For example, the number of the second double-sided tape 142 can be multiple. When there are multiple second double-sided tapes 142, they can be arranged at intervals along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100, or they can be arranged at intervals along the width direction F2 of the panel component 100, or they can be arranged in a matrix, or they can be arranged in other shapes. In addition, the shape of the second double-sided tape 142 is also limited to a long strip. For example, it can also be round, square, special-shaped, etc.

[0094] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 or Figure 11 When the panel component 100 is a rectangular plate and the thermal insulation part 13 is formed into a long strip form extending along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100, the double-sided tape 14 includes: a third double-sided tape 143, the third double-sided tape 143 is formed into a long strip form extending along the length direction F1 of the panel component 100, and the length L3 of the third double-sided tape 143 is 0.5 times to 1.5 times the length L1 of the thermal insulation part 13, that is, 0.5L1≤L3≤1.5L1, and the third double-sided tape 143 is arranged side by side with the thermal insulation part 13, that is, parallel or substantially parallel.

[0095] Therefore, by setting the length L3 of the third double-sided tape 143 to 0.5 times to 1.5 times the length L1 of the thermal insulation part 13, the lengths of the two are close, and by setting the third double-sided tape 143 and the thermal insulation part 13 side by side, the space can be fully utilized, the connection stability of the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 is enhanced, and the connection between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12 is made firmer, and the third double-sided tape 143 is easy to install, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, the side-by-side arrangement should be understood as the same or substantially the same length direction F1, parallel or substantially parallel and arranged close to each other; the third double-sided tape 143 can be set at the same time as at least one of the first double-sided tape 141 and the second double-sided tape 142, thereby improving the connection reliability of the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12.

[0097] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 10 A second groove 16 is formed on at least one of the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11 , and the double-sided tape 14 is embedded in the second groove 16 .

[0098] A second groove 16 is formed on at least one of the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11 , that is, the second groove 16 can be set on the panel bracket 12 or the panel 11 , or both the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11 have second grooves 16 to accommodate the double-sided tape 14 .

[0099] Therefore, the provision of the second groove 16 not only secures the double-sided tape 14 in the second groove 16, improving the installation stability of the double-sided tape 14, but also serves to position the double-sided tape 14 during installation, improving the consistency and efficiency of product installation. Furthermore, when the second groove 16 is provided on the panel bracket 12, the processing flow of the panel 11 can be simplified, allowing the panel 11 to achieve a wider range of design options.

[0100] Illustratively, at least one of the third double-sided tape 143 , the first double-sided tape 141 , and the second double-sided tape 142 may be installed in the second groove 16 .

[0101] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 10 A first groove 15 for embedding the thermal insulation material 13a is formed on the panel bracket 12, and a second groove 16 is formed on the panel bracket 12. Both the first groove 15 and the second groove 16 are open toward the panel 11, and the groove depth T1 of the first groove 15 is greater than the groove depth T2 of the second groove 16.

[0102] The panel bracket 12 is provided with a first groove 15 for embedding the thermal insulation material piece 13a and a second groove 16 for embedding the double-sided tape 14, which not only improves the installation stability but also plays a positioning role, thereby improving the installation consistency and installation efficiency of the product; the groove depth of the first groove 15 is greater than the groove depth of the second groove 16, so that the thickness of the thermal insulation material piece 13a can be increased, which more effectively blocks the transfer of cold from the panel bracket 12 to the panel 11, thereby improving the condensation phenomenon of the panel 11.

[0103] Next, an air conditioner 300 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described.

[0104] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The air conditioner 300 includes an air conditioner body 200 and a panel component 100 according to any one of the above embodiments, and the panel component 100 is installed on the air conditioner body 200.

[0105] The air conditioner 300 having the panel component 100 of the present application reduces the possibility of condensation on the panel 11, improves the performance and durability of the equipment, and improves the user experience.

[0106] Of course, the application scenario of the panel component 100 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the air conditioner 300. For example, other devices can also be used to improve the problem of condensation on the panel 11.

[0107] In some embodiments, reference Figure 14 The air conditioner body 200 includes an air outlet frame 21, and the panel bracket 12 includes an air duct wall 123. The air duct wall 123 cooperates with the air outlet frame 21 to define an air outlet duct 22. At least a portion of the thermal insulation portion 13 is disposed corresponding to the air duct wall 123. That is, at least a portion of the thermal insulation portion 13 is disposed between the air duct wall 123 and the panel 11.

[0108] Since the temperature of the cold air blown out by the air outlet duct 22 is relatively low, the panel bracket 12 is formed with a duct wall 123, and its temperature is also reduced accordingly. Since at least part of the thermal insulation part 13 is arranged corresponding to the duct wall 123, the cold air is more effectively blocked from being transferred from the low temperature area of ​​the panel bracket 12 to the panel 11, thereby improving the condensation phenomenon generated by the panel 11.

[0109] In some embodiments, reference Figure 14 The air conditioner 300 is a cabinet air conditioner. The length direction F1 of the panel component 100 is the up-down direction. The left and right sides of the panel component 100 are respectively provided with air duct walls 123 extending in the up-down direction, so that the left and right sides of the air conditioner 300 are respectively provided with air outlet ducts 22, and each air duct wall 123 is correspondingly provided with a thermal insulation part 13.

[0110] In this way, air can be discharged from both sides, and thermal insulation parts 13 are provided at the air duct walls 123 on both sides, which can effectively improve the condensation phenomenon in the left and right edge areas of the panel 11.

[0111] In some embodiments, reference Figure 12-Figure 21 The length direction F1 of the panel component 100 is the up and down direction. The rear side of the panel bracket 12 has a hook 121 extending downward, and the upper end of the panel bracket 12 has a connecting portion 122. The panel bracket 12 is hung downward on the air-conditioning body 200 through the hook 121, and is fixed to the air-conditioning body 200 by a threaded fastener driven into the connecting portion 122 from top to bottom.

[0112] The panel bracket 12 is hung downwardly on the air conditioner body 200 through the hook 121, and is fixed to the air conditioner body 200 by a threaded fastener driven into the connecting part 122 from top to bottom. When installing, it is only necessary to hang the panel component 100 on the air conditioner body 200 and then tighten it from the top thread. When disassembling, loosen the top thread fastening and lift the panel component 100 upward. Installation and disassembly do not require complicated steps, which improves operating efficiency and reduces the number of parts used. Installation and disassembly are quick, which improves production efficiency and ease of maintenance.

[0113] Below, refer to the attached Figures 1-21 , describing an air conditioner 300 according to a specific embodiment of the present application.

[0114] The air conditioner 300 includes an air conditioner body 200 and a panel assembly 100, which is mounted on the air conditioner body 200. The air conditioner body 200 includes an air outlet frame 21, an air duct assembly 24, a rear housing assembly 25, a top cover 26, a base 27, and an evaporator assembly 28. The panel assembly 100 includes a panel 11, a panel bracket 12, a thermal insulation material 13a, and double-sided tape 14. The panel bracket 12 is positioned inside and supports the panel 11, and the thermal insulation material 13a is positioned between the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11. The double-sided tape 14 is bonded between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12. The panel bracket 12 includes an air duct wall 123, which cooperates with the air outlet frame 21 to define an air outlet duct 22. The thermal insulation material 13a is positioned corresponding to the air duct wall 123.

[0115] The air conditioner 300 is an air conditioning cabinet unit, and the length direction F1 of the panel component 100 is the up and down direction. The left and right sides of the panel component 100 are respectively provided with air duct walls 123 extending along the up and down directions, so that the left and right sides of the air conditioner 300 are respectively provided with air outlet ducts 22, and each air duct wall 123 is correspondingly provided with an insulation material piece 13a.

[0116] The panel member 100 is a rectangular plate. The insulation material piece 13a is formed into a long strip along the length direction F1 of the panel member 100. The length L1 of the insulation material piece 13a exceeds 80% of the length L2 of the panel 11. The insulation material piece 13a is provided with a plurality of notches 133 spaced apart along the length direction F1 of the panel member 100. The double-sided adhesive tape 14 includes a first double-sided adhesive tape 141 disposed within the notches 133. The double-sided adhesive tape 14 also includes a second double-sided adhesive tape 142 disposed on one side of the insulation material piece 13a near the center of the panel 11. The insulation material piece 13a includes a functional body 131 and a backing adhesive layer 132. The thickness of the functional body 131 faces the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11, respectively. The backing adhesive layer 132 is disposed on the thickness of the functional body 131 to bond with the panel bracket 12 and the panel 11.

[0117] Panel bracket 12 is formed with a first groove 15 and a second groove 16. Both first groove 15 and second groove 16 are open toward panel 11. The groove depth T1 of first groove 15 is greater than the groove depth T2 of second groove 16. Insulation material 13a is embedded in first groove 15, and double-sided tape 14 is embedded in second groove 16.

[0118] Therefore, by installing the insulation material 13a between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12, the panel bracket 12 primarily serves as a mounting support for the panel 11, connecting the panel 11 to the air conditioner main body 200. The panel bracket 12 is provided with grooves for the double-sided tape 14 and the insulation material 13a. The grooves for the double-sided tape 14 are evenly distributed throughout the panel 11, i.e., they are located around the perimeter and in the center of the panel 11. The grooves for the insulation material 13a are located on both sides of the panel 11, providing a condensation-proof function.

[0119] The primary function of preventing condensation is provided by the thermal insulation material 13a. The thermal insulation provided by the thermal insulation material 13a reduces the amount of cold transferred from the panel bracket 12 to the panel 11, preventing the cold from concentrating on the surface of the panel 11. This prevents condensation from forming on the surface of the panel 11 after the overcooled panel 11 comes into contact with the hot air on the panel 11 surface. In other words, the thermal insulation material 13a blocks the heat exchange between the panel 11 and the panel bracket 12, preventing the panel 11 from cooling, creating a temperature difference with the air on the panel 11 surface, and preventing condensation and subsequent dripping on the panel 11 surface.
