DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0045] In the present disclosure, it should be understood that the orientation words such as "up, down" and the like used are defined with the drawing surface direction of the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, and a particular orientation configuration and operation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. For example, up and down are defined with the air conditioning equipment in the normal use state, for example, the upper side of the air conditioner can refer to the side of the air conditioner indoor unit close to the ceiling of the indoor, the lower side of the air conditioner can refer to the side of the air conditioner indoor unit close to the ground of the indoor, the first direction can refer to the up-down direction of the air conditioner, and the second direction can refer to the left-right direction of the air conditioner.

[0046] The terms "inner, outer" refer to the inner and outer of the corresponding structure profile. In addition, it should be noted that the terms such as "first", "second" used are for distinguishing one element from another element, and do not have sequential and important meanings. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same reference signs in different drawings represent the same elements.

[0047] In the description of the present disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connected", "linked", "mounted" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, or can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] As described above, how to reduce the invalid detection area or detection dead angle of the detection module has become a problem to be solved.

[0049] In view of this, as Figures 1 to 8As shown, according to the first aspect of the present disclosure, a panel assembly 100 for an air conditioner indoor unit is provided, which comprises a panel 1 having a mounting surface 11 and a detection module 2 mounted on the mounting surface 11, the detection module 2 having a detection surface 21 adapted to be arranged towards the indoor space for detecting object information in the indoor space, wherein the detection surface 21 is arranged at an angle with the mounting surface 11 of the panel 1.

[0050] First of all, it should be noted that the detection surface 21 is the surface of one side of the detection module 2 from which the signal is emitted, or the surface of one side of the detection module 2 which is first contacted by the signal when the detection module 2 receives the signal, which can be specifically referred to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown.

[0051] It should also be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the specific type of object information detected by the detection module 2. For example, the above-mentioned detection module 2 can be a human body detection module, which is used to detect whether there is a person in the indoor space and the specific position of the person in the indoor space, so that the air conditioner adjusts the air direction, air volume, etc. according to the dynamic information of the person in the indoor space, thereby improving the use experience of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the above-mentioned detection module 2 can also be a temperature detection module, which can be used to detect the temperature of different areas in the indoor space and dynamically adjust the air direction, air volume, etc. of the air conditioner according to the detection value, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different areas in the indoor space and improving the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0052] Through the above technical solution, since the detection module 2 is used to detect the object information in the indoor space, and the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 is arranged at an angle with the mounting surface 11 of the panel 1, by reasonably designing the included angle between the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 and the mounting surface 11, the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 can be directed to the area to be detected in the indoor space, and the object information in the indoor space is detected, which is beneficial to reduce the invalid detection area of the detection module 2 and reduce the detection dead angle of the detection module 2.

[0053] The above-mentioned invalid detection area is the area in the indoor space which does not need to be detected, for example, as shown in Figure 2 by arranging the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 towards the ground 7, and the technical solution of arranging the detection module 2 in combination with the panel 1 (such as Figure 3Compared with the prior art, on the one hand, the detection area of the detection surface 21 arranged towards the ground 7 can be mainly concentrated on the ground 7 and the wall surface in the room, i.e. the personnel activity area, and cannot be concentrated on the area where the ceiling 8 is located, i.e. the area where personnel do not move, thereby reducing the invalid detection area of the human body detection module. On the other hand, the detection area of the detection surface 21 arranged towards the ground 7 can also cover the position directly below the air conditioner (such as the indoor unit), and the human body detection module can also realize the detection of the human body dynamic information directly below the air conditioner, and the detection dead angle of the human body detection module is small.

[0054] It can be understood that, in the above embodiment, if the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 is attached to the panel, the signal of the detection module 2 spreads in the horizontal direction, and when the detection module 2 is a human body detection module for detecting the human body dynamic information in the room, the signal spreading towards the ceiling direction is invalid signal, and the area directly below the air conditioner indoor unit which needs to be detected cannot be covered by the signal of the detection module, i.e. the ceiling is an invalid detection area, and the area directly below the air conditioner indoor unit is a detection dead angle.

[0055] For another example, according to the physical properties of air, the density of cold air is greater than that of hot air, and hot air will gather towards the direction of the indoor ceiling 8, especially above the air conditioner (such as the indoor unit), resulting in a large temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the room. When the above detection module 2 is a temperature detection module, by arranging the detection surface 21 of the temperature detection module towards the ceiling 8, on the one hand, the detection area of the detection surface 21 of the temperature detection module can be concentrated on the wall surface and the ceiling 8 (i.e. the upper part of the room) in the room, and cannot be concentrated on the ground 7, thereby reducing the invalid detection area of the temperature detection module. On the other hand, the detection area of the detection surface 21 arranged towards the ceiling 8 can also cover the position directly above the air conditioner, thereby enabling the detection of the ambient temperature directly above the air conditioner, and the detection dead angle of the temperature detection module is small.

[0056] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, when the above detection module 2 is a temperature detection module for detecting the temperature of different areas of the ceiling, the signal spreading towards the ground direction is invalid signal, and the area directly above the air conditioner indoor unit which needs to be detected cannot be covered by the signal of the detection module, i.e. the invalid detection area includes the area where the ground 7 is located, and the detection dead angle includes the area directly above the air conditioner.

[0057] Here, it should be noted that the specific orientation of the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 is not limited in the present disclosure, and the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 and the mounting surface 11 can have any angle, as long as the detection area of the detection module 2 can cover the area where the object information to be detected is located.

[0058] As an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown inFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end of the detection surface 21 away from the panel 1 can extend downwards at an angle, that is, towards the indoor floor 7. In other words, the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 can face the indoor floor 7. In this way, the detection module 2 can detect information about objects in the lower part of the room. For example, the detection module 2 can detect the dynamic information of human beings in the room and adjust the airflow direction and volume of the air conditioner according to the dynamic information of human beings, thereby improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0059] In this disclosure, the angle between the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 and the mounting surface 11 of the panel 1 can be set to any suitable angle, as long as the detection area of ​​the detection module 2 can cover the area where the object information to be detected is located. This disclosure does not limit this. As one embodiment of this disclosure, the angle α between the detection surface 21 and the mounting surface 11 is 1° to 60°. By reasonably setting the angle between the detection surface and the mounting surface 11, the detection surface can be made to face the area to be detected. In this way, on the one hand, the invalid detection area of ​​the detection module 2 can be reduced, and on the other hand, the detection blind spot of the detection module 2 can also be reduced.

[0060] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the specific type of the panel 1 mentioned above. The panel 1 can be any panel 1 on an air conditioner, as long as the panel 1 is suitable for installing the detection module 2. As one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the panel 1 can be the air outlet panel of an air conditioner, and the panel 1 is provided with an air outlet 12 for guiding air into the room. In other words, the detection module 2 is set on the air outlet panel of the air conditioner, and the integrated design of the panel assembly 100 helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0061] As another embodiment of this disclosure, the panel 1 described above may also be the bottom plate of the housing of the indoor unit of the air conditioner or the side plate of the air conditioner, and this disclosure does not limit it in this way.

[0062] This disclosure does not limit the specific installation method of the detection module 2 on the panel 1. As one embodiment of this disclosure, the panel assembly 100 further includes a connected actuator and a mounting member 3. The mounting member 3 is used to mount the detection module 2 to the mounting surface 11. The actuator is disposed on the panel 1 and is used to drive the mounting member 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle between the detection surface 21 and the mounting surface 11 of the panel 1. The detection module 2 can be mounted on the panel 1 via the mounting member 3 and the actuator, and the fixation of the detection module 2 on the panel 1 is relatively reliable.

[0063] In addition, since the actuating member can drive the mounting member 3 for mounting the detection module 2 to rotate, when the panel 1 is applied to an air conditioner, the angle between the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 and the mounting surface 11 of the panel can be actively adjusted by controlling the actuating member, so as to meet the use requirements of different scenes and / or different users for the air conditioner, and the use experience of the air conditioner can be further improved.

[0064] It should be noted that the specific type of the detection module 2 is not limited in the present disclosure. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection module 2 can include a millimeter radar wave module. The millimeter radar wave module can actively emit radar waves outward, so as to detect object information (such as human body dynamic information) in the room.

[0065] As other embodiments of the present disclosure, the detection module 2 can also be an infrared sensing module and a camera monitoring module, etc.

[0066] In order to mount the detection module 2 on the panel 1, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 the panel assembly 100 can further include a mounting member 3 connected to the panel 1. The mounting member 3 is provided with an arrangement inclined surface 31 for mounting the detection module 2. The arrangement inclined surface 31 is arranged at an angle with the mounting surface 11 of the panel 1. In this way, by mounting the detection module 2 on the arrangement inclined surface 31, the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 can be arranged at an angle with the mounting surface 11 of the panel 1, so as to reduce the invalid detection area of the detection module 2 and reduce the detection dead angle of the detection module 2. The mounting of the detection module 2 on the panel 1 is simple, which is beneficial to simplify the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the entire panel assembly 100.

[0067] In addition, by reasonably designing the inclination angle of the arrangement inclined surface 31, the angle between the detection surface 21 of the detection module 2 and the mounting surface 11 of the panel 1 can be adjusted according to different requirements.

[0068] The specific structure of the mounting member 3 is not limited in the present disclosure, as long as the mounting member 3 is suitable for mounting the detection module 2. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 4 to 8 the mounting surface 11 is provided with a first positioning portion 32 and a first mounting portion 33. The mounting surface 11 of the panel 1 is provided with a second positioning portion 141 and a second mounting portion 151. The second positioning portion 141 is used for positioning cooperation with the first positioning portion 32, and the second mounting portion 151 is used for connection with the first mounting portion 33, so as to mount the mounting member 3 to the panel 1. The first mounting portion 33, the second mounting portion 151, the first positioning portion 32 and the second positioning portion 141 cooperate with each other, so as to jointly fix the mounting member 3 on the panel 1, and the mounting of the detection module 2 on the panel 1 is simple.

[0069] In addition, since the second positioning part 141 arranged on the mounting surface 11 can be positioned and matched with the first positioning part 32 on the mounting piece 3, when it is needed to mount the detection module 2 and the mounting piece 3 on the panel 1, the operator can directly match the first positioning part 32 on the mounting piece 3 with the second positioning part 141 on the mounting surface 11, so that the positioning of the mounting piece 3 on the panel 1 can be realized, and then the first mounting part 33 on the mounting piece 3 is connected with the second mounting part 151 on the panel 1, so that the fixing of the mounting piece 3 on the panel 1 can be realized. In other words, without repeatedly measuring the mounting position of the mounting piece 3 on the panel 1, the mounting piece 3 can be quickly positioned during mounting through the first positioning part 32 and the second positioning part 141, which is beneficial to improve the mounting efficiency of the mounting piece 3 on the panel 1, and the mounting of the mounting piece 3 on the panel 1 is more convenient and fast.

[0070] The panel 1 is not limited in the present disclosure, and optionally, as shown in Figures 4 to 8 The panel 1 includes a panel body 13, a limiting piece 14 and a fixing seat 15, the mounting surface 11 is arranged on the panel body 13, the limiting piece 14 and the fixing seat 15 are arranged on the mounting surface 11 in the first direction, the second positioning part 141 is arranged on the limiting piece 14, and the second mounting part 151 is arranged on the fixing seat 15. It can be understood that the first mounting part 33 and the first positioning part 32 are also arranged on both sides of the mounting piece 3 in the first direction.

[0071] Since the limiting piece 14 and the fixing seat 15 are arranged in the first direction, and the second positioning part 141 and the second mounting part 151 are arranged on the limiting piece 14 and the fixing seat 15 respectively, and the first mounting part 33 and the first positioning part 32 are also arranged on both sides of the mounting piece 3 in the first direction, the first mounting part 33 and the first positioning part 32 arranged on both sides can be matched with the second mounting part 151 and the second positioning part 141 respectively, and can jointly hold the mounting piece 3, which is beneficial to improve the mounting stability of the mounting piece 3 on the panel 1 body, and also can improve the anti-vibration capability of the mounting piece 3 on the panel 1 body, and the detection module 2 is not easy to shake.

[0072] It should be noted that the specific structure of the mounting piece 3 is not limited in the present disclosure, as long as the mounting piece 3 is suitable for mounting the detection module 2. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 4 to 7As shown, the mounting member 3 can include a first portion 34 extending in a first direction and a second portion 35 extending in a second direction, the first direction intersecting the second direction. In this way, by properly designing the relative positions between the two portions of the mounting member 3 (i.e. the first portion 34 and the second portion 35 mentioned above), the detection module 2 can be arranged on one of the two portions, and the wire harness for connecting with the detection module 2 can be arranged on the other of the two portions, in other words, the mounting member 3 can realize both the mounting of the detection module 2 and the fixing of the wire harness for connecting with the detection module 2. In this way, on the one hand, the wiring can be facilitated, and on the other hand, the wear, breakage or even short circuit caused by the shaking of the wire harness can be effectively avoided, and the practicability of the mounting member 3 is relatively strong.

[0073] Optionally, the detection module 2 can be mounted on the first portion 34, and the second direction is a direction in which the detection module 2 is spaced apart from the electric control panel 201 of the air conditioner. In other words, the wire harness for connecting with the detection module 2 can be fixed on the second portion 35 of the mounting member 3, and the second portion 35 extending towards the electric control panel 201 of the air conditioner can facilitate the wiring and is also conducive to saving the length of the wire harness, thereby reducing the cost.

[0074] The specific structure of the first positioning portion 32 and the second positioning portion 141 is not limited in the present disclosure, and as an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first positioning portion 32 and the second positioning portion 141 can be snap-fitted to realize positioning cooperation, and the first positioning portion 32 and the second positioning portion 141 in snap-fitted cooperation are relatively convenient to disassemble and assemble, which is conducive to further improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the mounting member 3 on the panel 1. Figures 4 to 8 As shown, one of the first positioning portion 32 and the second positioning portion 141 can include a clamping leg 4, and the other of the first positioning portion 32 and the second positioning portion 141 can include a clamping buckle 5 snap-fitted with the clamping leg 4. On the one hand, the clamping leg 4 and the clamping buckle 5 can cooperate to play a positioning role for the mounting member 3 during the mounting process, and on the other hand, the connection between the clamping leg 4 and the clamping buckle 5 in snap-fitted cooperation is relatively reliable, which can also improve the fixing effect of the mounting member 3 on the panel 1 body, and the mounting member 3 is not prone to loosening.

[0075] Optionally, as shown, Figures 4 to 8 The first positioning portion 32 includes the clamping leg 4, and the second positioning portion 141 includes the clamping buckle 5.

[0076] As another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first positioning portion 32 can further include an elastic block, and the second positioning portion 141 can include a clamping groove, and the elastic block can be inserted into the clamping groove and elastically expanded. In this way, the positioning and fixing of the mounting member 3 on the panel 1 can also be realized by the elastic block and the clamping groove.

[0077] The specific structure of the first mounting portion 33 and the second mounting portion 151 is not limited in the present disclosure, and as an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 4 to 8 The panel assembly 100 further comprises a threaded fastener 6, the first mounting portion 33 comprises a first mounting hole 36, the second mounting portion 151 comprises a second mounting hole 152, the threaded fastener 6 is arranged in the second mounting hole 152 and is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 36. In other words, the first mounting portion 33 and the second mounting portion 151 are connected by the threaded fastener 6 (such as a bolt), the first mounting portion 33 and the second mounting portion 151 connected by the threaded fastener 6 have strong bearing capacity and good connection reliability, which is conducive to improving the fixing effect of the mounting member 3 on the panel 1, and the use of the threaded fastener for connection also facilitates disassembly.

[0078] As another embodiment of the present disclosure, one of the first mounting portion 33 and the second mounting portion 151 can comprise a plug-in protrusion, and the other of the first mounting portion 33 and the second mounting portion 151 can comprise a plug-in slot matched with the plug-in protrusion. In this way, the plug-in protrusion and the plug-in slot are plugged and matched, and the installation of the mounting member 3 on the panel 1 can also be achieved.

[0079] The detection module 2 of the present disclosure can be installed at any position on the mounting member 3, for example, the detection module 2 can be installed on the outside of the mounting member 3, and the detection module 2 can also be installed in the mounting member 3. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the mounting member 3 is configured as a box body structure, the detection module 2 is arranged inside the box body structure, and the inner wall of the box body structure is provided with the arrangement inclined surface 31. In other words, the detection module 2 is installed in the mounting member 3, and the mounting member 3 can protect the detection module 2, so that the detection module 2 is not easily impacted during use, which is conducive to improving the service life of the detection module 2.

[0080] Here, it can be understood that for the embodiment in which the mounting member 3 comprises a first portion 34 and a second portion 35, the first portion 34 extends in a first direction, the second portion 35 extends in a second direction, the first direction intersects the second direction, and the first portion 34 and the second portion 35 are respectively used for mounting the detection module 2 and a wire harness connected with the detection module 2, the wire harness connected with the detection module 2 can also be arranged inside the box body structure, so that on the one hand, the mounting member 3 can fix the wire harness to prevent the wire harness from shaking, and on the other hand, the mounting member 3 can also protect the wire harness, so that the wire harness is not easily impacted by other parts in the air conditioner during use, which is conducive to improving the service life of the wire harness.

[0081] Optionally, the inner wall of the box structure can include a first inner wall, the first inner wall is opposite to the panel 1, and the detection module 2 is arranged on the first inner wall. The first inner wall can support the detection module 2, and the detection module 2 will not be suspended in the first inner wall.

[0082] The specific fixing manner of the detection module 2 on the first inner wall is not limited in the present disclosure, and as an embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection module 2 is fixed on the first inner wall by a threaded fastener such as a screw or a bolt.

[0083] As another embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection module 2 can also be fixed on the first inner wall by adhesion.

[0084] The specific shape of the mounting member 3 of the present disclosure is also not limited, and the mounting member 3 can be a closed box, or the mounting member 3 can be an open box.
