[0049] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be thoroughly understood and fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0050] It should be noted that in the related art, the air guide ring of some outdoor units is arranged in an embedded manner on the panel of the outdoor unit. The embedded manner refers to an arrangement manner in which the outer diameter of the air guide ring is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the annular flange at the air passage of the panel, and the air guide ring is arranged in the annular flange. When the air guide ring deforms during use, the panel or other components cannot limit the reduction of the inner diameter of the air guide ring, which may result in poor air guiding effect of the air guide ring, reduced air volume of the outdoor unit, increased operation noise of the outdoor unit, and structural interference between the air guide ring and the fan blade in the case of large deformation of the air guide ring, which is not conducive to stable and reliable operation of the product.

[0051] To at least solve one of the technical problems in the prior art or related art, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown in FIG. 1, according to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a panel assembly 100 is provided, which comprises a panel body 110 formed with an air passage 1101; an air guide ring 120 arranged on the panel body 110, the air guide ring 120 being in communication with the air passage 1101; and a limiting piece 130 arranged on the panel body 110, the limiting piece 130 being located on the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120.

[0052] The panel assembly 100 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a panel body 110, an air guide ring 120 and a limiting piece 130, wherein the air guide ring 120 and the limiting piece 130 are both arranged on the panel body 110, the air guide ring 120 is in communication with the air passage 1101 of the panel body 110, so that the air guide ring 120 can guide the airflow to flow to the air passage 1101 during use, and the limiting piece 130 is located on the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120, so that the limiting piece 130 is suitable for supporting the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120, which is beneficial to avoid the case that the inner diameter of the air guide ring 120 is greatly reduced due to deformation during use, thereby ensuring the air guiding effect of the air guide ring 120, reducing the probability that the air volume of the outdoor unit is reduced due to the deformation of the air guide ring 120, and being beneficial to reduce the operation noise of the outdoor unit, avoiding structural interference between the air guide ring 120 and the fan blade 700 of the outdoor unit, and providing protection for the stable and reliable operation of the outdoor unit.

[0053] It should be noted that, in actual application, the panel assembly 100 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be arranged on the shell assembly 200 of the outdoor unit or used as a component of the outdoor unit. As shown in the Figure 7 It should be noted that, in actual application, the panel assembly 100 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be arranged on the shell assembly 200 of the outdoor unit or used as a component of the outdoor unit. As shown in the

[0054] It can be understood that a gap can be formed between the air guide ring 120 and the limiting piece 130. Accordingly, in the case that the inner diameter of the air guide ring 120 is reduced due to deformation, the width of the gap can be reduced. After the inner diameter of the air guide ring 120 is reduced to a certain extent, the limiting piece 130 can abut against the air guide ring 120 to avoid further reduction of the inner diameter of the limiting piece 130. Based on the foregoing arrangement, the air guide ring 120 and the limiting piece 130 can be assembled together, which reduces the processing difficulty of the panel assembly 100. Based on the foregoing arrangement, the panel body 110 can shield the assembly gap between the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120 and the limiting piece 130, which is beneficial to improve the appearance of the outdoor unit in actual application, and the air guide ring 120 and the limiting piece 130 can be assembled together with a large gap, which further reduces the processing difficulty of the panel assembly 100.

[0055] It can be understood that the air guide ring 120 has a substantially annular structure. Accordingly, the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120 is the inner side of the air guide ring 120 in the radial direction. The inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120 defines a wind passage, and the wind passage is communicated with the air inlet 1101.

[0056] It can be understood that the limiting piece 130 can be in an integral structure with the panel body 110. For example, the limiting piece 130 can be a flange structure formed at the air inlet 1101, which can improve the connection reliability between the limiting piece 130 and the panel body 110, and is beneficial to more reliably support the air guide ring 120 by the limiting piece 130, and can reduce the assembly difficulty between the limiting piece 130 and the panel body 110, and save the manufacturing cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0057] It can be understood that the limiting piece 130 can have a substantially annular structure and surround the air inlet 1101, or the number of limiting pieces 130 can be multiple, and the multiple limiting pieces 130 surround the air inlet 1101, which is beneficial to more uniformly and reliably support the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120 by the limiting piece 130. Accordingly, in the case that the limiting piece 130 has a substantially annular structure and surrounds the air inlet 1101, the inner diameter of the limiting piece 130 can be greater than or equal to the diameter of the air inlet 1101. In the case that the number of limiting pieces 130 is multiple and the multiple limiting pieces 130 surround the air inlet 1101, the distance between each limiting piece 130 and the air inlet 1101 at the axial position can be greater than or equal to the radius of the air inlet 1101, which avoids that the limiting piece 130 shields the air inlet 1101, and is beneficial to ensure the air volume of the outdoor unit.

[0058] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some examples, the limiting member 130 is arranged around the air passing opening 1101, and the air guide ring 120 is sleeved on the limiting member 130.

[0059] In this technical solution, the limiting member 130 can be arranged around the air passing opening 1101. For example, the limiting member 130 can have a substantially annular structure and be arranged around the air passing opening 1101, or the number of limiting members 130 can be multiple, and the multiple limiting members 130 are arranged around the air passing opening 1101. Correspondingly, the air guide ring 120 can be sleeved on the limiting member 130, so that the limiting member 130 can more uniformly and reliably support the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120, avoid the phenomenon that the inner diameter of the air guide ring 120 is not uniform due to deformation, and help the air guide ring 120 more reliably maintain the shape, thereby providing further protection for the stable and reliable operation of the outdoor unit.

[0060] As shown, Figures 1 to 6 In some examples, the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120 has an air guide wall 1201 and a matching wall 1202. The air guide wall 1201 surrounds an air passing channel that is in communication with the air passing opening 1101. The matching wall 1202 is arranged around the limiting member 130. A gap is formed between the matching wall 1202 and the limiting member 130.

[0061] In this technical solution, the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120 can have an air guide wall 1201 and a matching wall 1202. The air guide wall 1201 can surround the air passing channel. The matching wall 1202 can be arranged around the limiting member 130. It can be understood that the air guide wall 1201 and the matching wall 1202 both extend along the circumference of the air guide ring 120, and the air guide wall 1201 and the matching wall 1202 are at different positions in the axial direction of the air guide ring 120. Based on the above arrangement, the limiting member 130 can avoid blocking the air guide wall 1201, which helps to further ensure the air guiding effect of the air guide ring 120. At the same time, a gap is formed between the matching wall 1202 and the limiting member 130, so that during the processing of the panel assembly 100, the air guide ring 120 and the limiting member 130 can be conveniently assembled and matched, which reduces the processing difficulty of the panel assembly 100 and helps to save the cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0062] In some feasible examples, the width of the aforementioned gap is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 1.5 mm along the radial direction of the air guide ring 120; for example, the aforementioned width can be, but is not limited to, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, or 1.3 mm, and the like. It can be understood that, in the case that the limiting member 130 is in a substantially annular structure, the difference between the diameter of the matching wall 1202 and the outer diameter of the limiting member 130 can be greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm, so as to form the aforementioned gap between the matching wall 1202 and the limiting member 130; for example, the aforementioned difference can be, but is not limited to, 1.3 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.7 mm, or 2.9 mm, and the like.

[0063] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some examples, the limiting member 130 is in an annular structure, and the inner diameter of the limiting member 130 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the air passing channel.

[0064] In this technical solution, the limiting member 130 can be in an annular structure, and the inner diameter of the limiting member 130 can be greater than or equal to the diameter of the air passing channel. Based on the aforementioned arrangement, on the one hand, the limiting member 130 can uniformly and reliably support the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120, avoid the phenomenon that the inner diameter of the air guide ring 120 is uneven due to deformation, and is conducive to more reliable maintenance of the shape of the air guide ring 120, thereby providing further protection for the stable and reliable operation of the outdoor unit; on the other hand, it can also reduce the obstruction of the limiting member 130 to the air passing channel, which is conducive to further ensuring the air volume of the outdoor unit and reducing the operating noise of the outdoor unit.

[0065] It can be understood that, in this technical solution, the diameter of the matching wall 1202 is greater than the diameter of the air guide wall 1201.

[0066] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , in some examples, the air guide ring 120 is formed with an air expansion opening 1203 at one end away from the air passing opening 1101, and the diameter of the air expansion opening 1203 is greater than the diameter of the air passing channel.

[0067] In this technical solution, the air guide ring 120 can be formed with an air expansion opening 1203 at one end away from the air passing opening 1101, and the diameter of the air expansion opening 1203 is greater than the diameter of the air passing channel, so that the air guide ring 120 can have a larger inner diameter in the actual application close to one end of the fan blade 700, thereby on the one hand, it can further reduce the possibility of interference between the air guide ring 120 and the fan blade 700, and is conducive to further ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the outdoor unit; on the other hand, it is also convenient for the air guide ring 120 to expand the gas receiving range, thereby improving the air volume of the outdoor unit.

[0068] It can be understood that in actual application, the one end of the air guide ring 120 formed with the air expansion opening 1203 can be the air inlet end.

[0069] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some examples, the panel assembly 100 further comprises: a motor support 140 arranged at the air passage 1101; and a connecting rod 150 connected between the motor support 140 and the panel body 110.

[0070] In this technical solution, the panel assembly 100 can further comprise the motor support 140 and the connecting rod 150, wherein the connecting rod 150 is connected between the motor support 140 and the panel body 110, and the motor support 140 is arranged corresponding to the air passage 1101. Based on the foregoing arrangement, the panel assembly 100 can be used to provide a mounting position for the motor 500 of the outdoor unit in actual application, avoiding the need to additionally configure a separate structure for the motor 500, which is conducive to improving the structural compactness and lightness level of the outdoor unit.

[0071] In some feasible examples, the panel body 110, the motor support 140 and the connecting rod 150 are of an integrated structure, so as to simplify the assembly process of the panel assembly 100, and facilitate the integrated machining of the panel body 110, the motor support 140 and the connecting rod 150, which is conducive to saving the manufacturing materials and costs of the panel assembly 100. For example, the panel body 110, the motor support 140 and the connecting rod 150 can be integrally stamped and formed.

[0072] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 In some examples, the panel assembly 100 further comprises a noise reduction member 160 arranged at the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120.

[0073] In this technical solution, the panel assembly 100 can further comprise the noise reduction member 160 arranged at the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120, which is conducive to further reducing the noise at the air guide ring 120 in actual application, thereby reducing the overall operating noise of the outdoor unit and improving the user experience of the product.

[0074] In some feasible examples, the noise reduction member 160 is arranged at the cooperation wall 1202, so as to reduce the influence of the noise reduction member 160 on the air guide wall 1201, which is conducive to ensuring the guiding effect of the air guide ring 120 on the airflow.

[0075] As shown in Figures 1 to 6As shown, in some examples, in the case that the panel assembly 100 comprises the motor support 140 and the connecting rod 150, the noise reduction piece 160 is connected to the connecting rod 150 on the side close to the air passage 1101; and / or the noise reduction piece 160 is formed with a plurality of protruding structures 1601 on the side away from the air passage 1101; and / or the noise reduction piece 160 is in an integrated structure with the air guide ring 120.

[0076] In this technical solution, in the case that the panel assembly 100 comprises the motor support 140 and the connecting rod 150, the noise reduction piece 160 on the side close to the air passage 1101 can be connected to the connecting rod 150, so as to further improve the position stability and reliability of the noise reduction piece 160, and the position and deformation of the air guide ring 120 can be further constrained by the noise reduction piece 160.

[0077] In this technical solution, a plurality of protruding structures 1601 can be arranged on the side of the noise reduction piece 160 away from the air passage 1101, so as to enhance the diffusion weakening effect of the noise reduction piece 160 on the sound waves emitted in the direction of the fan blade 700, and to further enhance the noise reduction effect of the noise reduction piece 160 and reduce the operating noise of the outdoor unit.

[0078] As shown, Figures 3 to 6 In this technical solution, the noise reduction piece 160 and the air guide ring 120 can be in an integrated structure, so as to, on the one hand, further reduce the assembly difficulty of the panel assembly 100, thereby saving the cost of the panel assembly 100; on the other hand, the position stability of the noise reduction piece 160 can be improved, and the structural reliability of the panel assembly 100 can be enhanced.

[0079] It can be understood that the aforementioned three settings in this technical solution can adopt any one or any two or all of them in actual application, which can be selected according to actual needs, and no more limitation is made here.

[0080] In some examples, the panel body 110 and the limiting piece 130 are in an integrated structure; and / or the panel body 110 is made of a metal material; and / or the air guide ring 120 is made of a plastic material.

[0081] In this technical solution, the panel body 110 and the limiting piece 130 can be in an integrated structure, for example, the limiting piece 130 can be a flange structure formed at the aforementioned air passage 1101, so as to improve the connection reliability between the limiting piece 130 and the panel body 110, which is conducive to the limiting piece 130 more reliably supporting the air guide ring 120, and can reduce the assembly difficulty between the limiting piece 130 and the panel body 110, thereby saving the manufacturing cost of the panel assembly 100.

[0082] In the technical solution, the limiting piece 130 can be made of a metal material, so that the structural strength and reliability of the limiting piece 130 can be improved, and the limiting piece 130 can more reliably limit the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120.

[0083] In the technical solution, the air guide ring 120 can be made of a plastic material, so that the air guide ring 120 can be conveniently formed, the shape of the air guide ring 120 can be designed, the light weight of the air guide ring 120 can be improved, and the overall weight of the panel assembly 100 can be reduced.

[0084] It can be understood that the aforementioned three settings in the technical solution can adopt any one or any two or all of them in actual application, which can be selected according to actual needs, and will not be limited here.

[0085] Exemplarily, the limiting piece 130 can be made of, but not limited to, iron or aluminum material.

[0086] Exemplarily, the air guide ring 120 can be made of, but not limited to, PP or AS. It can be understood that the aforementioned PP or AS can be weather-resistant enhanced, which is beneficial to prolong the service life of the air guide ring 120 and reduce the risk of large deformation of the air guide ring 120 during use. For example, the air guide ring 120 can be made of barium sulfate enhanced PP or glass fiber enhanced AS.

[0087] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 In some examples, the panel assembly 100 further includes a connecting piece 170 arranged on the outer circumferential side of the air guide ring 120, the connecting piece 170 being connected to the panel body 110 and formed with a connecting hole; and a fastener connected to the panel body 110 through the connecting hole.

[0088] In the technical solution, the panel assembly 100 can further include the connecting piece 170 and the fastener, the connecting piece 170 being connected between the outer circumferential side of the air guide ring 120 and the panel body 110, and the fastener being connected to the panel body 110 through the connecting hole of the connecting piece 170, so that the connection reliability between the air guide ring 120 and the panel body 110 can be improved, the position stability of the air guide ring 120 can be improved, the structural constraint of the air guide ring 120 can be enhanced, and the risk of deformation of the air guide ring 120 can be further reduced, thereby providing protection for the air guide ring 120 to stably and reliably guide the gas flow.

[0089] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 The connecting piece 170 and the air guide ring 120 can be an integral structure, so as to further improve the connection reliability between the connecting piece 170 and the air guide ring 120. The fastener can be, but is not limited to, a bolt, a screw, or a rivet, etc.

The installation space can be used to arrange other components of the outdoor unit, such as the compressor 400, the motor 500, the electric control box, the fan blade 700, the heat exchanger 800, and the like. The air passage 1101 of the panel body 110 can be arranged corresponding to the fan blade 700. The air guide ring 120 can be arranged on the side of the panel body 110 close to the fan blade 700 and around the fan blade 700, so as to facilitate guiding the air flow output by the fan blade 700 and exchanging the air with the external environment when the fan blade 700 operates. Correspondingly, the limiting piece 130 can also be arranged on the side of the panel body 110 close to the fan blade 700 and on the inner circumferential side of the air guide ring 120, so as to limit the reduction of the inner diameter of the air guide ring 120 by the limiting piece 130, which can ensure the air guiding effect of the air guide ring 120, reduce the probability of reducing the air volume of the outdoor unit due to the deformation of the air guide ring 120, and help to reduce the operation noise of the outdoor unit, avoid structural interference between the air guide ring 120 and the fan blade 700 of the outdoor unit, and provide protection for the stable and reliable operation of the outdoor unit.
